Degrassi: The Next Generation (2001–2015): Season 5, Episode 10 - Redemption Song - full transcript

(knocking)

- Spinner, what are you doing?
- Shhhh...

- Someone needs a time out.

- Someone's always getting
a time out.

- So what do you think?
It's for Friendship Club.

- You're wearing a bikini
to Friendship Club?

You're gonna give poor baby Jesus
a heart attack.

- You know you shouldn't talk
like that.

Besides, I meant for the camping trip
this weekend.

- Oh, right. Camping with your Bible
buddies. So glad I'm missing that.

- Spinner, you said you'd come.



- Was I high at the time?

- Spin, what's up?

You in there shopping
for some nice mini-skirts?

- No, man.
Checking out some man-thongs.

- Oooh...

You missed a hell of a party
Friday night.

People were asking about you.

- Jay? They let you out on parole?

- Time off for good behaviour.

Hey, Nuns-R-Us is having
a black-and-white sale.

You should really check that out.

- Funny. You guys
always have to do this?

- Hey, this weekend we're having a party
in the ravine. We're getting a keg.

- Dude! I am so there!



Possibly.

Maybe.

We'll see.

- Well, you let me know when she
makes up your mind for you.

Whatever it takes

I know I can make it through

If I hold out

I know I can make it through

Be the best

Be the best I can

And I say to you

Whatever it takes

I know I can make it

I know I can make it

I know I can make it through

- So we're all sinners.

But if we accept Jesus
into our hearts, we'll be free.

- But... wait a sec,

If we're all sinners
then what can Jesus do?

- He can forgive you.

- Exactly. And that way,
you'll gain entrance to heaven.

- Yeah, but there are
good people out there

who don't believe in Jesus.

What? Do they just go to hell?

(school bell rings )

- Listen Spinner,
that was a great debate.

I'm looking forward
to some more.

Say tomorrow at the retreat?

- Yeah. About that...

I have plans to worship
with a friend.

- That's great!
Is your friend a believer?

- Yeah, he believes in things...
like beer.

- I come bearing morning bagels.

- I've got our coffees.

Two creams for you,
two sugars for me.

- Okay, Hazel,
what's the big secret?

- This summer - road trip!

We hit the southern U.S. of A. -

Orlando, Memphis, Atlanta -

all summer.
- All summer?

Wow, that's...

that's great.

Announcer: Attention students.

- A year ago today,
tragedy struck Degrassi,

And since that day,
we've become a different school,

Zero tolerance for bullying,

and an open door policy
for student concerns,

We did this together,

- Hey Jay, listen...

Raditch knows, man.

- About Jimmy? Yeah. I'm surprised
nobody's figured it out yet.

Jimmy set the whole thing up
perfectly.

- You pretended to be my friend.

- Aaahhhhhhh!

- I'd like to announce that out
of the many proposals submitted,

the winner is,,,

a new mural,

to be painted by Jimmy BrooksI

- That's amazing.
- I didn't know

you submitted a proposal!

- Actually, it's-it's all on Ellie.
She talked me into it.

- Gee, all these plans
that I didn't know about.

- Well, Jimmy's such a good artist,
and with the shooting...

we just thought it was right.

- Good job, man.
- Thank you.

- This is great.

- So tell me...

when did Jimmy and Ellie
become a ''we''?

- Someone left you a card.
How sweet.

- It's a note, man,
from my girlfriend.

Hey, Jimmy,
Congratulations, man. Eh?

Listen, I want to help out
if there is anything I can do.

Whatever.
- Probably not a good idea, Spin.

- Come on, guys.
Let me help out.

- Look, when I said
you were dead to me,

I meant forever.

You don't exist.

- So, this weekend?

You, me, dozens of horny honeys,

and an ice cold keg of beer.

Sound good?
- Dude...

do you ever think
about what happened with...

you know, the shooting...
with rick.

- Sure I do.

The way I see it,
we did the world a favour.

- And Jimmy?
We helped him too, right?

- Spin, what are you doing?

You're getting yourself
all depressed!

You got school for that.

What you need is to get your mind
off the depressing crap.

Have some fun.

- Dude, you are so right.

Hey um...

Is my name still
on that sign-up sheet?

Look under ''I'' for ''idiot''.

- I don't know, Spin.

There's volleyball, barbecue.

I don't think you can handle it.

- You don't think I can handle it?
What are you talking about?

- Well... all right.
So, if I'm not on your team,

that puts me
on the winning team, right?

- That's funny.

Lucky man.

- Yeah. You're not hurting.

- Kim's my life.

- Dude, you're married?!

- Married? No. No.
This is a pre-engagement ring.

We gave them to each other
last year

when we pledged our abstinence.

- So you willingly gave up...
with her?

- Spinner, Kim and I
love each other,

and we love Jesus. This is really
the best way to show it, man.

- Yeah, but if Jesus
didn't want us to have sex,

he'd make every girl look
like Quasimodo's sister.

I mean...

- Relationships
are not only about sex.

They're about spiritual
connectedness, man. Come on.

- So... road trip this summer.

Guess we'll put those art classes
on hold.

- I guess so.

- I have a summer job anyway.

There's this tiny comic book
company. I'm doing their website.

- You're kidding. That's amazing.
- It's a job.

I was gonna hire you
to do the art work,

but whatev.

- Hazel?

I did not know you were coming.

But so glad to have you here!

- Okay, the fountain's down,
and I am parched.

- And someone has got
to wash these brushes.

(both): Ew.

- Looks like this project could use
a little more organization.

Marco, I have a case
of water in my car.

Why don't you go get it?

Paige, I'll wash these brushes.

And Ellie...

why don't you keep doing
what you're doing?

- All right, guys...
Okay, before I sing this song,

I wanna talk about something.

Fear.

Spinner, what scares you most?

- Ms. Kwan?
(everyone chuckles)

- Be serious. Melinda?

- I'm scared of dying.

- But why, Melinda? I mean...

if you're forgiven by Jesus,
you'll go to heaven.

- Okay. But what if you die

before you make peace?

So before Jesus could forgive you?
- You'd go to hell.

- How do you feel about that,
Spinner?

How do you feel?

Don't you have anything
you want to be forgiven for?

- No. Not particularly.

- What about your friend Jimmy?

What about him?

- Nice, Darcy.
No brainwashing, huh?

- Spin, I didn't tell him anything.

- Yeah, then how'd he know, Darcy?
He's psychic?

- I guess I mentioned it to Kim.
- Oh, that's great.

Just spill my most private secrets
to everybody.

Who are you calling?
- Jay.

My friend. I'm outta here.

- Spinner, please.
I'm sorry that Linus ambushed you.

He shouldn't have.
It was a mistake.

- No, this weekend was a mistake.

This whole relationship
is a mistake.

Jay, what's up, man?

(loud music comes from car)

It's about time, buddy.
Let's go.

- Sweet Mother Mary.

Who knew Christian girls
could be so hot?

- Yeah, but trust me,
this place is no party.

- Not yet.

- No, no, no, no, no, no.
What are you doing?

- I just drove two hours for you.

At least let me join
your Christian friends

for a tasty hot dog
or a cool,

refreshing beverage.

- One hot dog.
Beer stays in the car,

your mouth stays shut,

and something else
stays in your pants. Clear?

- I don't know.
Let me pray on it.

- How come nothing rhymes
with ''orange''?

It's such a lonely word.

- And what's not a lonely word?

- Hazel, cause it goes
so perfectly with Jimmy.

- That doesn't even rhyme.

So, Ellie,
this comic book website,

are you going to use flash?
- It's all customized,

but I'm also putting together
templates.

- I really like the Crimson kid.

Flash... the Crimson kid.

You guys were talking
about comic books, right?

I've been reading up.

- Um... we're talking
about flash animation.

It's a computer thing.
It's complicated.

- Right. And I wouldn't get that.

- My dad just couldn't take it anymore
So he took off on his hog.

- And your mom? Was she okay?

- Well, I helped her through
her painkiller addiction,

but once she was in drug rehab,
it was like... like I was addicted...

addicted to helping people.
- Really?

- Yeah.
- So that's when you left school?

- And headed down
to South America,

to the mountains of Ecuador.
I built a church,

and a one-room school
and a well. It just felt so good.

- Man, Jay is quite the storyteller.

- Yeah, and Melinda's not
the sharpest tool in the shed.

- Hey, listen, I'm sorry
for what I said before.

I didn't mean it.

- I can party too, you know.

So, don't think
I'm a complete loser.

- I don't think you're a loser.

I think you're great.

- I really feel like I can talk to you,
you know?

Just...

not here.

- Let's go someplace private.

- Jay?

Can I talk to you
just for a second?

- Spinner, slow down.

I was just about to redefine
Bible thumping.

- No, man. You were just about
to take a hike.

- Praise the Lord!
God, those freaks really got to you.

- Have you always been this stupid
or am I just noticing it now?

- Man, ever since you met
Ms. Wwjd,

I don't even know
who you are anymore.

I mean, what kind of hold
does she have on you anyways?

Is she that good in bed?

- It's not like that, man.
we don't even have sex.

- No sex?

Nothing? Are you kidding me?
What's her problem?

- She believes in something,
all right?

Is that impossible for you
to get into your twisted little brain?

- No. Look, whatever.
I just want you to be happy.

- Hope you don't mind.

I scooped these from your car.

- Mind?
No, I wasn't going anywhere.

- Sometimes...
You gotta bend the rules.

Just a little.

- Oh, nice catch. Nice catch!

- Darcy, you going to partake?

- Ugh! Tastes like barf.
- You've tried beer?

- Yeah.
A bit too much of it one night.

Ages ago.
Hence, tastes like barf.

- Well, cheers to that.

Looks like we're gonna need
another round.

- I'll get it.
- No, no, no. I'll go.

- So, underneath that nun's habit
lies a living, breathing girl.

Who knew?
- Spinner.

- Yeah, right, Spinner.
He's all about you these days.

I've never seen him like this.
Not about anybody.

- Not Manny? Paige?

- Oh no. He told me.

You're way better
than Paige or Manny.

Thing is...

- What?

- It's Manny.
She's moving in on him.

- What?
I thought she was with Craig.

- She wants something
on the side with Spinner.

I'm talking sex. He keeps trying
to fight her off but...

How long can he keep fighting?
I mean, he's a guy and...

Well, if he doesn't get
something soon,

then... game over.

Look, it's just like you said,
Darcy.

Sometimes
you gotta bend the rules.

- You've got to be kidding me.

- Dude, I got round two.

- Your lady awaits.

- Hey... w-what?

What's going on?

On second thought,
no need to explain.

Darcy,

I love you.

(crying)

Are you okay?
- I'm fine. Keep going.

- Hey, what's wrong?
What's wrong?

- It's okay.
Jay told me about Manny,

about everything.
- Wait! What?

What Manny? I haven't
spoken to Manny in like, a year.

Okay, start at the beginning.

What did Jay tell you, exactly?

- Who is your saviour now?!

- Spinner!
- Why did you do it, huh?!

- You wanted some action.
I tried to help you get it!

- No. You just wanted to ruin it,

like you've ruined
everything in my life -

Jimmy and now Darcy.
- Oh yeah, oh yeah.

I'm the devil.
I'm the evil, low-down sinner!

Somebody save me!

- You know what?
Get out of here.

I never want to see
you again ever.

Go.

Go!

- So this whole thing - this mural -
This was all about her?

- Of course not. And I didn't
even mean for that girl to be Ellie.

I guess it looks
a little bit like her -

- A little bit? Jimmy,
that's her face. To a tee.

- I can paint it over.
- That's not the point.

Why did you paint it
in the first place?

Obviously you like her.

Be honest.

- Okay. Hazel, look...
I love you.

But Ellie, she...
she inspires me.

- I so did not need to hear that.
- You wanted honesty.

I'm being honest.
- No, you're being a coward.

And if you won't say it,
then I will.

So here it is, Jimmy.
Ready?

We're through.

- I'm sorry...

for bringing Jay here,
for what he said.

For everything.

- It's not your fault.

You were trying to be his friend -

his only friend
because yes, he's a jerk.

I love you, Spin.

- You shouldn't.
I hurt everyone.

You, Jimmy...
I'm... I'm not worth it.

- You are. I know it.

Jesus knows it.

- How can Jesus forgive someone

who got his best friend shot?

- Because he just does.

All you need to do is believe.

- It's too late.

- No, it's not.

We'll find Jesus together. Okay?

- Okay.
