Degrassi: The Next Generation (2001–2015): Season 5, Episode 2 - Venus: Part 2 - full transcript

(crickets chirping)

(muffled thumps)

(loud bang)

(items bounce
and thump on floor)

- I thought you crawled
into somebody else's house by accident.

(crash)

(splash)
(muffled scream)

(quiet laugh)

- Oh, no,
you look like a pretzel.

(loudly ): My insides are kinda
pretzel-y too, let me tell you!

- Shhh!
- And I'm soaking wet!



How am I gonna wear this
to school tomorrow?!

- Shhh!
My parents are sleeping.

I'll loan you whatever you want,
but you need to tell me

why Jenn saw Peter
and stinking-drunk you

upstairs alone at 2:00 a.m.

I told you I liked him.

- Hey, hey, okay.

You tell me he's hands-off
and he's hands-off.

That's just the law.

Like Girl Scout honour... honour.
- Shut up!

- I'm a sailor!

(loud crash and scream)

- Oh, my God.

- Oh, Manny.



You can be the taste-tester
for my fridge-dump omelette.

We've got zucchini, sausage,

the crumbly end of a big old
hunk of blue cheese.

- Cold cereal is our friend.

- No, no, thank you.

I'm fine.

- Oh, guess who just hung up

from a conversation
with your mom?

- Great.

- Who nearly wept when she heard
that you were here, safe and sound.

- I hate her. I hate them.

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

- Tell me you're as hungover as I am.

- Sure. Except I wasn't drinking.

- Oh, good.
Then you remember what happened.

Because I'm still a little foggy.

- Yeah, I remember everything.

Especially
when you showed me your...

you know.

- But you were sober.

Why didn't you try and stop me?

- Because your request
''let's make a little movie''

implied you didn't want me to.

- Why are you being like this?

- I wanna see you again.

- Peter, my best friend
since daycare likes you,

and she's really lovely.
- Yeah, but she's not you.

- Last night was what it was
and nothing more,

and I'm trusting you
that it stays between us.

- First chance I get,
I'll erase everything.

It'll be our little secret.

(Marco ): So you and Craig
are best friends all summer...

- Regrettably.

- And you develop a cute little crush.
- Marco...

- And he says
a few mean words to you--

- Two.
He said two mean words

after I bust my kilt
to throw him a party.

- So, what,
we're not gonna hang out?

- Not until he apologizes!

- Okay.

Look, we have band practice
scheduled for tomorrow night.

- Didn't Craig say he'd never
let Spinner back in the band?

- He hasn't,
and Spinner isn't.

Which leaves us without a drummer.

- Hey...

I just started drumming again.

I haven't drummed
since I was like, ten.

- Yeah, but you know how to drum -
an immediate improvement over Spinner -

and you've been in a band before.

So maybe it's time
you think about joining a new one.

- You told him I liked him?!

- Sort of.
- So now,

instead of just being tongue-tied
in front of him,

I will actually
have to barf on his shoes.

- No, no...
I... I think he was kind of into you.

I mean, I told him that you...
you were lovely.

- Really?

Well, sorry I was snotty earlier.

You are so good!

(whispering): Manny.

Your mother's here to see you.

- I couldn't come home, Mom.

Not after last night.

- So you decided to make
your father's temper even worse?

- I'm the one who should be angry.

He called me a slut.

- Until you swear
to do what he says,

and give up acting,

your father's temper
will only get worse.

He'll get more angry.

- I can't.

I won't.
- Then...

you can stay at Emma's?

- I'm sure it's not a problem.

- So... I can't come home?

- Not yet.

Not until you are ready.

- A smart reader uses strategies
before she reads,

to preview the text...

... and to activate their prior knowledge
of the topic.

A smart reader
also tracks and reports ideas

as they read them.

Smart readers also know
that reading plays a vital role...

- Stop staring.

- Stop being an ass.

- Do you know
how humiliating it was

to find out in public

that my girlfriend dumped me
by email?

- Oh... Oh, you're forgetting
on your birthday.

That's a pretty good detail, too.

Ashley wanted to tell you herself.

She wanted to wait
till the time was right.

She was... concerned.

- That I'd go off my meds
and go all crazy?

I'm fine.
You know I'm fine.

We hung out all summer.

And I don't need you
protecting me.

- All this anger is for Ashley.

Buy a ticket, go to London

and freak on her there.

(bell rings)

- Looking for this?

So when are we going out?

- This isn't funny anymore.

- You didn't answer my question.

When are we going out?

- Peter, I am never
going to go out with you!

I don't like you. To tell the truth,
I think you're a freak.

Just...

just, I need...
I need the tape back, okay?

- Never tell the shopkeeper
you're desperate to buy his merchandise.

'Cause now my price just went up.
- What?

- There's a new camera I want.
HDV 10 ADI.

Runs about $3,000.

- I don't have that kind of money.

- You lie.

Plastic surgery ain't covered
by health care, honey.

- But... my credit card
and my bank card

are both with my father.

- Well, I'm sure
you'll think of something.

Or maybe I'll have to start
selling tickets to our little movie.

(Manny on tape ):
I am going to be an actress -

an Academy Award-winning actressI
And you can sell this

for a million dollars,

because I am gonna be famousI

- Hey! Hey, El!

- Sorry, new friends.

- I wouldn't get into kindergarten

with my resume.

- Um...

can I sit here?

- Um... sure, hon.

- You have plenty of extra-currics
to put on your university app.

- Yes. Spirit Squad, Spirit Squad,

and more Spirit Squad.

Does that sound
well-rounded to you?

- Hell Hath No Fury.

- I said you could sit here,

not spout kooky,
dark-girl cliches at me.

- I'm talking about our band -
Hell Hath No Fury.

Why don't we start it up again?

- On top of helming Spirit Squad,

we're a little booked up right now.

- You wanna be an ad executive, right?

Don't you think your resume
could use something creative?

- See, Hazel?
That is helpful.

She is a helpful friend... person.

- So I need my money back.

My parents won't let me
do the surgery.

- I'm aware of that.
The procedure's been cancelled.

- Great.
Then about my money...

- Uh... it's taken care of.

We've already refunded
your credit card.

- No.

I don't keep that card.
My parents do.

I need cash.

- I'm sorry, that's not how it works.

- It's my money, Dr. Andras!

I'm not moving.

- I can always call security.

- Em?

(moans)

Whatever happens tomorrow,

remember I love you,

and I'm always
gonna be your friend, okay?

- Okay. Are we going to school tomorrow
or are we shipping off to Iraq?

Go to sleep.

- Hey.

Look, I don't have the money,
so I'll just go out with you, okay?

- You called me a freak, Manny.

So, no, thank you.
That offer's expired.

So...

now our little movie's
gonna be released in select theatres.

- ,,, for a million dollars,
because I am gonna be famousI

Why are you like this?
Why are you trying to hurt me

for no reason?

- You asked me to put the camera on
after I told you to go home.

- You took advantage of me!

- You want to know what I think?

I think you're so desperate
for male attention,

you'll do anything for it.

You're a big,
fat attention whore.

- Shut up!

- An attention whore
with a bad temper.

- That's not me.

- Most girls don't whip their boobs out
to guys they've known five minutes.

I'm so glad my dad got me this model.
Such a generous guy.

Can you believe
I can email it right from here?

- Peter! Peter!

That wasn't... You didn't!
Peter!

- You're gonna be a big star, Manny.
And I get to say I knew you when.

(guys): Oh...!

(chuckling)

(laughter)

(Toby): Isn't that hilarious?!

(JT): Oh...

Oh, my goodness.
- Hey, guys.

Whatcha watching?

- Okay, here.
Let's check this out, ready?

It's a monkey
smelling his own butt.

It's classic!

(laughter)

- I'm going to be an actress,,,

- Hey, man,

did you check your email?
- No.

- Check it.

Check the one that says
''Degrassi Girls Gone Wild.''

- ,,, going to be famousI

,,,an Academy Award-winning actress,

And you can sell this
for a million dollarsI

(voice overlaps
as more people watch video )

- Manny Santos,

my, how you've grown.

- Shut up, man.
That's not funny.

- Okay, guys, thanks for coming out.

We're gonna start with something simple,
just to see if you can move.

(girls giggling)

You're late.

- Okay, small-girls-
with-the-grace-of-obese-camels,

what's your problem?

- Guess you haven't seen
''Degrassi Girls Gone Wild.''

There's a video, of Manny,

doing something
she shouldn't be doing.

- You mean...?

- No! No.

It's not that bad. It's just...

lift-your-shirt-for-the-camera
kind of bad.

- You obviously can't be
on Spirit Squad this year.

- Paige!

- You're dismissed. Fired.

Whatever.

(girls giggling)

- Bye!

- Em.

- You think I don't recognize
what you were wearing,

or the background?

I know who you did that with.

- Emma, I didn't...

I have to explain.
- Don't bother.

- But, Emma...

- I hate you.

- Guys, I wrote it in Physics,
but it's not about vectors.

It's our new song.
- We don't have time for this.

- I thought you needed
more extra-curriculars.

- We signed up for yearbook,
Girls Athletic Association,

and prom committee this morning.

- Plus we have
a topless-cheerleader crisis.

Have you not seen
the Manny Santos movie of the week?

- I've seen it.
But I don't get

why it means
you have to quit the band.

- Sweetie, we were never
really in the band.

That was just
a little Ellie Nash fantasy.

We're dealing with reality here.
This is serious!

- Why don't you join Craig's band?
I hear they're looking for a drummer.

- Good afternoon, class.

Our goal today
is to help you develop...

(students talking)

- Mom?

Dad?

- What does she want?

- Ask her, Joseph.

And listen to what she tells you.

- Dad...

I had a great time last summer.

I got to be in a movie,

and in front of a camera.

And for the first time in my life,

I felt good.

Like I mattered,
like I wasn't a joke.

Please don't take that away from me.

- We did not come to this country

so you could become some actress.

It's not the job for a decent girl.

- It is too!

You don't know what you're talking about!
- Enough!!!

You will do what I say!

- I can't.

You can't ask me!

- You tell her.

You tell that girl

this is no longer her home.

- Joseph!

- Tell her!

(guitar playing)

- You here to see Marco?
He's not here yet.

- I'm here to see you.

Craig!

Craig!

We hung out all summer
and I know you're okay now.

And it was so...

so stupid of me
to try and protect you.

I should've just told you.

Sorry.
- Cool.

- That's it?
- That's it.

Aye...

I can feel them, you know -
your eyes burning a hole in my back.

I'm sorry... too.

I overreacted, okay?

So... there.

Better?

- Not really.

- So what do we do?

- Well...

I heard
you're in between drummers.

- You heard right.
Know any?

- I happen to be in between bands.

Maybe I should sit in?

- I gotta warn you, El,
we suck -

huge.
- Oldest rule of music, Craig.

A band's only as good
as its drummer.

- Okay, you'll fit in fine.

- Em, just hear me out.

Here are the clothes
that you lent me.

I know I have other stuff
of yours too, but...

- You probably lost it all.

But I got kicked out.

I don't know for how long.

Maybe for good.

Em, I screwed up...

so bad.

I lost my family...

... my reputation...

... and my best friend.

- Just wait.

Manny,

it's hard to watch you sometimes.

You have everything going for you
and you just...

keep screwing it up
pretty spectacularly.

- It'd be easier if I was you, Em.

Skinny, blonde...

- Manny, that is a bunch of crap
and you know it.

That is not what this is about.

(someone whistles )

(students make indistinct comments
about Manny)

- ... porn star!

- Manny.

We have to do this.

(guys whistling)

- Look, just so you know,
I didn't send it to the whole world.

I showed it to a couple of friends.
- Remind me to thank you.

- Peter.
- I'm talking to friends, Mom. Later.

- Don't use that tone of voice
with me here.

This is my school,
I am your principal.

In my office.

Now.

(sighs)

I'm so ashamed,
I cannot even look at you.

What were you thinking?
How could you do something so heartless?

- Did you know
he's Hatzilakos's son?

- No. He didn't tell me.

I don't think he told anyone.

- I wonder who his father is.

- Satan, probably.

(whistles)

- Manny, I know
you're going through hell right now

and I don't want to add to it,

but you and I need
some ground rules.

- I thought we went over ground rules
with Mr. Simpson:

nothing below an ''A,''

no acting work
beyond the drama club,

no plastic surgery...

- I know.
I don't mean that stuff.

I mean between you and me.

No more lies ever, okay?

There will be nothing between us.

- Okay, promise.

- So you ready
to face your first class?

- Not even remotely.
