Degrassi: The Next Generation (2001–2015): Season 5, Episode 15 - Our Lips Are Sealed: Part 1 - full transcript

Emma, Manny, Spike and Jack are still trying to live without Snake. Manny is desperate to lose weight for an interview with an agent and Emma is happy enough to control one more thing like what they eat. They go on a major diet, barely eating, binging and throwing up and running too much. Snake is tired of staying at Joey's and really wants to come home. Emma tries to help, but to no avail. She's also trying to keep her relationship with Peter on the down low. Manny loses the pounds she wants too, and Snake manages to re-woo Spike and come home but Emma still feels the need to stay on the diet.

- An accident on the Q,E, West
at Trafalger has traffic,,,

- You guys are on your own
for breakfast.

- And lunch, and supper.
And every meal after that.

- We count on you, Em.
I count on you.

- And what a super job
I'm doing.

- You are.

Look, I gotta go or I'll be late
getting Jack to day care.

- Snake called again.

- How nice for him.

- I... am... so... fat.

- Don't even talk about fat,
I'm the fat one in this house.



All this fast food, no wonder
I've gained all this weight.

- Tell me about it.

I have a meeting with
Bernice Fein on Friday

and I can't even fit
into my lucky jeans.

- ''Dump the lumps''
Bernice Fein?

As in the agent from hell?

(sighs) If she's Satan,

then that explains why
she's the best agent in town.

She called because she saw
me in the Kevin Smith movie,

wants to audition me again.
(grunt of effort)

Crisis down here!

- Look around you.

''Crisis'' is actually an epidemic.

- My thighs are an epidemic.
And they're taking over the world.



- We are going to take control.

I am going to take control.

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

- Manny.

- Pie charts?

We've done pie charts
every year since grade four.

- It's a chore wheel.

Manny: (sighs) Okay, does it
have laundry on it?

Because I'm out of underwear

and this commando chafing
is killing me.

- Not up to
your usual standard.

- Okay,
Manny, you are on laundry.

I'm on homework and exercise

and grocery shopping
and cleaning

and mom management.

- That should burn
a few calories.

- I sincerely hope so.

- You're a stick,
and you're insane.

- Mom! I'm home!

(Manny): She's working late.

What are you doing?

- Baby pedicure?

- Do you know how much fat
is in just one chip?

I brought you celery.

Celery has negative calories

Because you burn calories
while you're chewing.

And this...

- I am not eating paper.

No matter how many
calories it burns.

- It's a diet diary.

We write down every morsel
that goes into our mouths.

- Great. More homework.

- Do you want
to get this agent?

Think of it as fun.
Think of it as a challenge.

(unenthusiastic)
- Woo-hoo, let the fun begin.

(Bachman Turner
Overdrive playing)

- 'Cause you ain't
seen nothin yet

B-b-baby, no,
you ain't seen nothin yet

- With a voice like that,

i's no wonder ''the zits''
never went anywhere.

(Diane and Simpson): Ohhh!

- I've heard him sing
in the shower, Snake.

And the pot should really stop
calling the kettle black.

- Saucy...

But a keeper.

- All right,
let's keep this party going.

I've got just the number.

It's a classic little ditty
I like to call

''Rock the Casbah''.

(giggles, English accent)
- Oy! Kick it, mate!

(''Sometimes When We Touch''
plays )

- What? I didn't...

That's ''Sometimes
When We Touch''.

(soft chuckle )

- Abort! Abort!

- Hey, what's wrong?

(chuckles softly)

- It's our song.

- Stupid machine.
Sorry Snake, uh...

Buttons get mixed up
sometimes.

(music stops )

- It's just that uh...

I miss her so bad, you know?

I miss my family.

- Total calories: 1 10.
Total grams of fat: 2.

- Total flavour: zero.

How am I supposed to do
math when I'm starving?

- I think my stomach's
digesting itself.

But we are not feeling hungry,
we are feeling light.

- As in l-i-t-e?

- Okay, you need
to jog one mile

at six miles an hour
to burn off 1 10 calories.

- Okay, I'm going
to get a diet pop

and pretend it's a milkshake.

(Paige): Ow!

Uh... twigs and berries?

You girls practicing
to be on Survivor?

- It's called a diet.

- Mm... totally wishing
I had your willpower.

When bathing suit season
comes around,

prepare to be hated
by a jealous me.

- Suddenly I'm stuffed.

(laughs)
When are we running that mile?

Or five?
(laughs)

Emma and Manny:
(laughing)

(both panting)

(laughing)

What's so funny?

- Nothing.
I just feel all... floaty.

(laughing)
- Me too. Is that good?

- Someone wanna tell me
the punchline?

- See you inside.

- Whoa! Emma. You okay?

You got the newborn
colt legs thing going.

- We're training
for cross-country.

- Oh, wow!

That's-that's great,
I had no idea.

- Yeah. The things you miss
when you leave your family.

So how're things at Joey's?

- Good. Okay.

Not too bad.

Terrible, actually.

(exhales)
I miss you guys.

- Have you tried
telling mom that?

- Oh, I would
but that would involve

her actually returning
my phone calls.

- So why don't you tell her
in person?

Come over tonight.

- Think your mom
would like that?

- Maybe if you made us dinner
like you used to?

Emma!

You are a genius!

- Now this I could get used to.

What's the ah...
what's the occasion?

- You have a surprise guest
for dinner.

A guest chef actually.

Snake.

- Emma?
Tell me you didn't.

- What, I thought you might like
a nice home-cooked meal, for once.

(knock at the door)
I'll get it!

(Simpson): Dunh-na-na-nah!

One order of veggie moussaka.

Emma's ooey-gooey favourite.

- Actually um,

Manny and I are gonna go
for a walk.

- No, girls,

stay.

Why don't you two
set the table?

(sniffs)
- Oh my God, ricotta!

- Cream and butter
and everything else

that I see in my dreams.

- We haven't starved
for two days

just to ruin it in
10 minutes of gluttony.

- So what do we do?

- We sit at the table
with mom and Archie

and try to make them happy.

And the food we just push
around our plates.

(water drips)

- Kitchen faucet's
still leaking, huh?

I should get my wrench
and uh...

- It's fine, Archie.

- Do you know how much water
you're wasting?

My wrench is downstairs-

- Just leave it! Please.

- This moussaka is amazing.

- Emma, I haven't seen you
touch yours.

- Sure I have.

Your cooking is something
we've really missed around here.

- Well, I miss cooking
for you guys.

I miss a lot of things.

Sitting here at this table,

I realize that
this is where I belong,

And I never should've left.

- You didn't leave, Snake.
I kicked you out.

Remember?

- It's been long enough, Spike.
And I...

I think I've learned my lesson.

I'm ready to come home.

- Oh, and that's
your decision to make?

- No, it's our decision
But yes, I have a say in it.

- You had your say
and it involved another woman!

Girls... I think you need
to go to your room.

- Spike, I came over here
with a peace offering

and this is what I get.

- You think a pan of moussaka
is gonna make everything better?!

- No, I don't! I thought maybe
we could try to be civilized--

- Fighting. Only fighting.

- Fighting's a start, right?

It's better
than not talking at all.

- I guess.

- Fine! Get out of my house!

- I just wish I knew
how it was gonna turn out.

I hate not knowing
what's gonna happen.

(door slams shut)

- I'll tell you
what's going to happen.

I am going to explode

from all that ooey-gooey
moussakeey.

- I wish I would explode.

We could try and run it off.
It'll only take oh, six hours.

- If I move, I'll barf.

It can't be healthy
to be this full.

- We could get rid of it.

- Like how, puking?
Isn't that kind of extreme?

- Desperate times
call for desperate purging.

- It's not called purging,
it's called bulimia.

- Don't be so dramatic.
These are special circumstances.

You'll feel better, Manny.
Come on.

Come on.

(anxious sigh)

Now for the moment of truth.

- Could I
go to the bathroom first?

That's gotta be half a pound.

(gasps)

Em, I lost three pounds!

Three pounds in four days!

(chuckling)

I lost three, three, three--

- Four... pounds.

I lost four pounds?!

- Em, you are officially
my lifestyle guru.

Like Bob on Oprah!

- Okay, so if we restrain
ourselves today

and work out after school,

we might be up to five pounds
by tomorrow.

- Ah, no-no-no.

There's a butter tart in the caf
with my name on it.

- Manny, no.

If we're happy
with less than our goal,

we're only
disappointing ourselves.

You've got an agent to impress.

This is serious.

- Okay, Bob.

(Joey): Okay, I got it.

Change her oil.

- Are you serious?

You really think doing
an oil change on Spike's car

is going to win her back?

- Snake, I'm spit-balling
here, okay? Work with me, buddy.

- Okay uh...

The roof's a mess.

I could help redo it.

- Yes! And you can get
all hot and sweaty

while you're doing it.
Chicks dig that!

Sexy Snake! Snake
the sexy roofer! I like it!

(exasperated gasp)
- Come on!

Women don't want an episode
of ''This Old House''.

They want a little romance.

They want to know
they're special.

Spike is special to you, right?

So prove it.

Show her what's in your heart.

- I don't know that Spike's
that interested

what's in my heart, right now.

- She will be.

Trust me.

Just remind her why she fell
in love with you in the first place.

Woo her.

- Please stop saying my name.

(loud whisper)
Stop!

Manny...

(exhales)
Manny...

- What are you doing?

- Um, a little known fact

is that pepperoni squelches
audition stress.

- That's a lie.

- Okay...

I'm just plain naked hungry!

- Hunger is a feeling, Manny.

Thin is a skill.

Damage control time.

(locker slams )

Manny: No!

- I'll cover for you.

- My jeans still fit, General.

- Manny, your body
is a reflection of you.

The agent is going to see
that you're undisciplined.

- The agent's going to see

that I have energy
and rosy cheeks,

and that I don't
have puke breath.

- This is so ''typical Manny''.

Give up when the going
gets tough.

- It's one slice of pizza, Em!

- It's fat and starch
and grease.

Why not just pour poison
down your throat?!

(dry chuckle)
- Okay.

There is just a little
too much crazy in here.

(hard thud)

(girl): What's going on?

- Someone get a teacher.

(Hatzilakos): Emma?

Can you hear me?

Emma?!

Maybe you should just sit still.

- No, I'm just dizzy, I think.
I think it's the flu or something.

- Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Did you eat today?

- Yes!

- What did you eat, Emma?

Emma...

It's okay, you can talk to me.

I'm here for you.

- That's funny.

(exhales)

(irritated sigh)

- The girls at the salon
told me you were on break.

- Are you selling roses
in restaurants?

What's with the penguin suit?

- I was wearing a t-shirt
on our wedding day.

And I wanted to make sure
I did this right.

Spike, you are my everything.

And if you let me come home
I'll be worthy of you this time

because you deserve
everything.

You're beautiful.

- You hurt me.

- I know.

- No. You don't really know.

I've loved you since I was 16.

You were the one guy
I thought was good,

the one guy I was sure
I could count on.

- Count on me now...

because I love you.

Because I'll never give up
until you take me back.

(exhales)

You ask me if I love you

And I choke on my reply

I'd rather hurt you honestly

Than mislead you with a lie

And sometimes when we touch

The honesty's too much

And I have to close
my eyes and hide

I wanna hold you--

- Okay.

Two conditions.

- Done.

- No kissing anyone but me -

ever again!

And no singing ever again.

(applause )

- How'd the audition go?

- She said I had ''moxie''.

- Which means...?

- I have an agent!

- I'm so happy for you.

- And I'm so worried about you.

I heard you fainted.

And these dismembered
models are disturbing.

- It's inspiration.

For when I want
to lose a pound.

- Okay, but you've lost,
like, seven.

You're starting to scare me.

- I'm gross, Manny.
I look disgusting.

- When was the last time
you ate?

- A couple of days ago.

I feel good.

- But you look sick.

And the way you're talking,
you might be sick.

- Okay. Snake's bringing

his special lasagna over
tonight.

I'll eat some.

- He's coming back?

That's the juice.

And I'm all over that lasagna.

- May this diet rest in peace.

- Good.

Because I need you healthy,
Emma.

You're more than just
my lifestyle guru, you know.

(everybody laughing)

- Hey, everyone, cheers.

You are an amazing family.

(all): Cheers!

- Oop!

- Oh w-w-w-wait!
Actually,

I have an announcement
to make.

- Are you guys gonna finally
stop calling each other

by your high school
nicknames?

- Not a bad idea, but no.

Uh, as you all know,
I still have a motorcycle fund.

Which I would like to use not
to buy another motorcycle with,

but to take us all to the
shopping capital of the world -

New York City.

- New York? Are you sure?

- I've done all the boring,
practical math

and we're going, baby.
- All right!

- Wait. Who's included in ''we''?

- Well um, you are part of the
Nelson-Simpson clan, are you not?

- I love you!
I love you guys!

How many empty suitcases
can I bring?

(jokingly cautions Manny )
Hey, whoa! Hey.

- Okay, this is-
this is beyond anything.

It actually might be
one of those moments.

So I'm gonna get the camera.

- Oh yeah! Cheers guys!

- Cheers!

(Manny): Cheers!

- Woo hoo!

(toilet flushes )
