Degrassi: The Next Generation (2001–2015): Season 5, Episode 7 - Turned Out: Part 1 - full transcript

J.T. is under a lot of stress and starts to fold under the pressure. Liberty is six months pregnant and J.T. discovers he can't afford to take care of himself, Liberty, and a baby. Desperate for money, J.T. starts stealing drugs f...

- So what now, Ms. Sauve?

Pregnancy yoga?
Lamaze class?

- Make a doctor's appointment.

At this point,
the health of the baby is paramount.

So who knows?

- Only my brother...

and Toby.

- Not your parents?

Liberty, you're 6 months pregnant.

- I know, Ms. Sauve.
(sighs)

But my father...



there's no way I can tell him.

- So you've just been hiding it?

Well, let's talk about options.

It's late in the game for an abortion,
so I assume that's off the table.

- Absolutely.

I want to carry this baby to term.

But afterwards...?

- Liberty,
there is no afterwards, okay?

What about adoption?

- I can refer you to an agency.

- Yes, that's perfect.
We're in.

- We?

JT, you broke up with me.

- Yeah, but I'm still the father.



If you decide to keep this baby,
then it becomes my problem too.

- So, do you want me to refer you
to an adoption agency or not?

- Yes.
- No.

- Sounds like you have a problem.

(sighs)

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

- The glitter sticks to the glue and...

ta-dah, you have your tiara,

like Megan and Madison!

And just like
our favourite royal primate -

Princess Ape - wears,
and she'll be coming up next!

So stay tuned!

- Cut. Reset.

- Hey, Tobes.
What're you doing here?

- Surprise, surprise.
You forgot.

We were supposed to catch
''Clown Academy'' tonight.

- Sorry. Brain fart.
I totally forgot.

I'm due at the pharmacy.

- Two jobs, school, pregnant ex.

No wonder your brain's flatulent.

- Well, there's two solutions
to my problems,

my carefree friend.

Mochaccino and adoption.

- Adoption?

Wow, you sure
Liberty will go for that?

- She's fifteen.
It's the only thing that makes sense.

- Okay, JT. Let's do it.

- Right.
Okay... well, take two.

I'm gonna go continue to make
a complete dink of myself.

- And roll tape.

- Rolling!

(Emma clears her throat)

- I'd tell you guys to get a room,
but you have a room.

Which also happens
to be my room.

- Well, tonight,
your room is all yours,

because Craig is taking me
to see a band.

- It's friend of friends,
it's nothing special.

- I thought we were studying.

- Unless...

I mean, it's not really a date,

if you wanna tag along?
- Yeah.

- Almost persuasive,

but I'll pass.

- Come on, Emma,
it's totally cool.

- It's totally third wheel, Craig.

You guys are a couple.

And I'm... just me.

Plus, I have a hot date tonight.

It's a very sexy red.

- Hey, you sell glitter glue?

What can I say?

Your craftwork on television...

it inspires me.

You know, I can't help but wonder
why a guy who's going to school

is working so many hours.

You in some kinda trouble, stockboy?

- Don't you have
someone else to bug?

- Just saying...

if you need money,

talk to me.

I've got all sorts
of creative solutions.

- Well, I can do
without your brand of creativity.

Put that back.

All of it.

- Whatever you say, narc.

(jazz music plays)

- Jazz combo,

or raising money
for cancer research?

Fighting cancer -
excellent choice.

Now if only we could stomp out jazz
in our lifetime.

- Hitting the pavement
for a cancer-free world, too?

- Yeah, you mean
one without you in it?

If you need a victim

for your next sexploitation flick,

keep looking.

- My mom took my camera.

I'm completely unarmed.

Look, if we're both
gonna be on the relay committee,

maybe we should start over.

- Maybe you can
get out of my way.

(PA): Attention, students,;
today's lunch special

will be smoked ham
and mashed potatoes,

- Hey!

Miss your mochaccino fix?

- My grandma decided
the house needed vacuuming

at 6 a.m.

- You tell her about the baby yet?

- No.

Like she needs
more to worry about.

Liberty!

Here, I got you some...
some ginger tea.

It's supposed to help
with morning sickness.

- Oh, that's sweet.

Thank you.

- Um, have you thought about...

you know, like, options,

or... or life-plans?

- Not really.

- Listen...

Do you realize
what having a kid means?

I mean, for your future?

It's just not logical.

- JT, I don't want to argue.

Okay?
- Okay.

Just let me help you, okay?

- I have an ultrasound at 2 p.m.

Come with me?

- Before we continue,

does anyone have
an announcement to make?

About, say, himself being
an up-and-coming TV star?

Big hit with the kids,

on every day at 3:00 p.m.?

- Mr. Simpson, please, don't.

Please.
- People...

our next unit in media immersion

is preschool television.

Watch closely,
because we're gonna learn

from a master.

(JT): Gobble, gobble, gobble,
gobble, gobble,,,

It's almost Thanksgiving,
and today,

we are going to be making
none other than,,,

a turkeyI
Gobble, gobble, gobble,

gobble, gobble, gobble,,,
But before we make our turkeys,

I'm going to need
my handy-dandy little helpersI

Where are my handy-dandy
little helpers?

There they areI

- Gobble, gobble, gobble,
gobble, gobble, gobble,,,

- That is so cute!

- She's right.
Why didn't you tell me about this?

You've always wanted to be on TV,
and there you are.

- So do you wanna tell her,
or should I?

- Okay, I'll tell her. Well...

No, no, no, you tell her.
You tell her - it's too good.

(continue arguing)

- Craig and I,

we met this really cute guy.

And he's totally your type.

- Well, cute is my type.

- His name is Derek.

He's a basketball buddy
of Jimmy's.

He's in Grade 10,

but he's all right.

Hey, Derek!

Weird! Weird.

I mean, it's-it's cosmic.

We were just talking about you.

- Amazing.
You'd think it was a setup.

- Derek,

this is my single friend, Emma.

Did I mention that she's single?

- Hey, Emma.

Um, these guys were telling me
your parents used to go to Degrassi?

It's pretty weird, eh?

- It's a magical story.

I'll tell you all about it Friday.

- Uh... Friday?

Like, at night?

- It's a date.

- How does he -

or she -

look?

- I don't know.

I can't.

- JT...

please.

- It...

... it looks...

... real.

Passed with flying colours.

Like mother, like offspring.

- They'll be happy to hear that
at the adoption agency.

- Really?

You're sure?
- No.

I don't want to give our baby up,

but you do, obviously.

- Liberty, it's not that easy.

We have lives ahead of us -

school and jobs.

- So? We can do it.

All of it.

- What was that for?

- Because you needed it.

Look...

I love you, JT.

And whatever you want to do...

... I'm fine with it.

- Let's keep this baby.

- Bright and early, as requested.

- Who wants muffins?
Carrot muffins. Your favourite.

- Good morning, Mrs. Cooney.
- Oh, Liberty,

I am so happy
you've taken this one back.

Luck of the Irish, he's got.
(laughing)

- We're both very lucky.

- Speaking of which,
we have great news.

We're having a baby.

- You can't be serious.

- Yeah, we are.

We're going to be parents.

- James Tiberius,

do you have any idea
what it takes to raise a child?

You are far, far too young.

- Well, I thought
that you could help us.

I mean, you raised Mom and me.

- And I'm not planning
to spend my retirement

going through it again.

Have you thought about adoption?

- We've considered it, but no.

- Look, Grandma,
we love each other, okay?

That's all that matters.

The rest we'll figure out.

- The way your father
figured it out?

By leaving you and your mother
when the going got rough?

- I'm not like him.

Not at all.

(sighs)

Let's go.

- Emma. Hey.

Okay, look, if we're both gonna
be on the Relay for Life committee,

don't you think we should be
a little bit more civilized?

- It's a cancer run, not a tea party.

- I know videotaping Manny was stupid,
but she asked me to do it.

She was drunk
and very persuasive.

- And you emailing it to your friends
makes it right?

- No. Of course not.

- Pledge forms
for all your fabulous,

cancer-fighting friends
and family members.

Leave no wallet untapped.

- Look, I should've never
gone for Manny.

You, on the other hand -
major catch.

Smart, funny,

insanely gorgeous.

- What makes you think
I'm interested?

- We care about things,

important things.

Maybe I heard that, once,
you were kinda into me.

- Okay,
butts in the bleachers, people.

We'll go over the route.

- There's a movie tomorrow night.
7:30 p.m., Cinema 3.

It's supposed to be funny.

I'll be there.

- Don't hold your breath.

- Whenever you're ready.
Curing cancer can always wait.

- JT, please don't make me do this.

- Liberty, we can't keep
avoiding this, okay?

We have to tell your parents.

- After what happened
with your grandma?

- So she didn't take it so well.
- That's nothing, JT, okay?

Your grandma's a lamb.
My parents are lions.

- Well, Liberty,
you're their daughter.

Maybe they'll understand.

- It's not my mother, it's my father.

He'll kick me out, guaranteed.

(sighs)

- Well, let him, okay?

Because we're going
to get our own place.

You, me and the baby.

- You're serious?

I guess I could use
my spelling-bee money.

- Yeah. And I'll take more shifts
at the pharmacy.

And I'll quit the TV job.

- Oh, JT, you can't.

- No, I have to.

Because it doesn't pay.

Besides, they can just get
someone else to make tiaras.

It's fine.

- So... we're not telling them?

- No. Not yet.

Because before we jump...

... we'd better have a safety net.
(Liberty laughing)

(Sarah Harmer's
''Basement Apartment'' plays)

Well you live out

Where the street ends

In the basement apartment

With one of your friends

And the tap drips all night

Water torturin'the sink

The furnace is burning

But it's still cold I think

The toaster sticks

And the empties are piled

I haven't been upstairs

In a while now

I gotta wash the sheets
on my bed

I gotta watch those things
that go unsaid

God I wish we'd leave it at this

Every time I breathe

Every time I try to leave

- So you, Manny and Craig
been friends for long, or...?

- Manny forever,
Craig for a while.

- Check it!

Is that Grover Smash?

- I think it is.

Who is Grover Smash?

- Only half of the Leper Twins.

Tag team?

- Oh, wrestling.

- Just won the belt.

Which obviously
means squat to you.

What about TV?

What do you watch?

- Uh, mostly ''Brideshead Revisited''
on DVD.

I read the book.

- Oh... uh, cool.

You know, some wrestlers
have their own books, too -

comic books!

That's how I got into wrestling -

reading comics
when my dad took me hunting.

Dude, until you have tasted
fresh venison,

you have not lived.

- I'm a vegetarian.

- Oh!

So do you eat chicken or--

- Derek.

Um, listen, I had a great time.

Well, an okay time.

Actually, a had pretty lame time.

So let's just quit
while we're behind.

Sorry.

- Three-quarter-inch pipe.
Lots of pressure.

The laundry's in the basement.

- I can't wait
to do our own laundry!

- And it's so close to the school.

It's perfect.

Is it perfect?

- It's perfect.

- Well, rent's $750 a month, kids,

and I'll need
first and last up front.

- Two months' rent?

That's $1500.

- Yeah, well,
it's pretty standard practice, kids.

Uh, I can give you a minute
to think about it.

(exhales)

- We can't afford it.

- No five-finger discount this time -
promise.

- Believe me, they do not pay me enough
to stop you.

- So I saw some new reject
on TV today

trying to keep kids
from eating glue.

He poach your show?

- No. I quit.

That job didn't pay
and this one does.

- Ah, well,

this is where the big bucks are, eh?

- Yeah. Minimum wage.
I'm a real tycoon.

- Your problem, stockboy -

tunnel vision, okay?

You need money?

Get creative.

- Jay, spare me
the lame-ass scheme.

- Shut up and listen.

Look, you have
behind-the-counter privileges.

Where the good stuff is.

You ever heard of Oxycodone?
It's a painkiller.

I know people who'd be willing
to sell their mothers

to get their hands on this stuff.

And you got it...

right back there.

Buckets of it.

- Emma, over here!

- You can cancel the bulk
I-have-a-new-girlfriend email.

I have been planning
to see this movie for weeks.

- Yeah, of course.
A classic tale of triumph over adversity.

Who knew ''Clown Academy''
had a football team?

- Or cheerleaders!

For the record,
when the lights go down,

your hand stays
in your own popcorn bag.

- I'm on probation. Gotcha.

So should I draw a line

down the centre
of the armrest, or what?

- Uh, line's moving.
No more talking.
