Degrassi: The Next Generation (2001–2015): Season 6, Episode 16 - Love My Way - full transcript

- Oh, yeah!
- Wow, that's awesome!

- Is that baked brie? Phenoms!
- Only the best for my darling bro

on the occasion
of his moving to Sweden.

Your brain's clearly
already redecorating my bedroom.

It's Switzerland, Paige.

As in Zurich.
- Yeah,

as in 6,497 kilometres away.

Ching! I hear you are looking
for a new manager,

someone to whip Squatch Designs
into shape.

- Yes, Marco told you.

Okay, so we can get together
and talk about it tomorrow morning?



Resume's printed
and at the ready.

Thank you for implying
that I'm boring.

I wasn't implying you're boring
'cause you don't like to dance.

Can we not fight about this now?
It's embarrassing.

- So you're moving in, eh?

A funky downtown address
to go with my hopefully new job.

Chin-chin.

So where is the lovely Carla tonight?

- Pottery class.

Yeah, my girlfriend ditched me
to make a bowl.

- At least you have somebody.

I, however, have been walking
through a romantic desert.

And my feet are tired.
- Don't look at me to rub them.

But I'm sure we can find
a hot guy or two



to warm up
your cool autumn nights.

- Cheers to that, dear Cupid.

- Paige Michalchuk!

- Jesse...

Stefanovic. You are the one I speak to
about putting an ad in the Core?

- For Jimmy and Spinner's store.

- You're looking at their new manager.
- Congrats.

Uh, these are our rates.

- Yes... uh, rates..

Funny thing...

There is a minor issue of cash
at present.

Namely that we are lacking it.
- As issues go,

far from minor.

Well, what if I told you
that in lieu of cash,

our designer Jimmy Brooks
will design T-shirts for the Core?

I'm sure you could use them
for promotions.

And once we fix our cashflow issue,
we are going to present concerts

by local bands
under the Squatch banner.

The Core could co-sponsor.

- Good ideas.

Great ideas.

- Thank you.

So... do we have a deal?

- Count on it.

Thank you for that incisive treatise
on celebrity facelifts.

Next class: Liberty and Emma.

- Ouch. Haven't even started.

- Didn't know lazy was in your vocab.

- Not lazy, just distracted.

Don't tell me -
too many late-night sessions

at Casa Cameron?

- Keep a secret?

Sean and I are taking things
to the next level.

Maybe you don't realize,
but you've told me this before.

Maybe you don't realize
that this time, I mean it.

Wow, you're not messing around,
sister.

So I hope you're ready.
Today's the first episode

of \x22Project Paige.\x22
- My life is a reality-TV show?

- In your case it's The Bachelorette.

And we are looking for guys, eh?
Not the other flavour?

Guys will do, thank you.
I like them cute, funny, worldly,

and to fill out
a vintage rock tee just so.

- Sounds delish,

in a hetero kinda way.

Thing is, Paigey,
you gotta keep it caj.

Don't get attached - to anyone.

Play the field, be a pimp.

- Oh, I am the maddest of pimps.

And here comes my date.

- Spinner? Cute? Funny?

Worldly?

Lose the lesbian filter, hon.
He is cute. And funny.

Two out of three.
Give my best to dear Carla.

And why is it every time
I bring something up -

a joke, a story idea, anything -
you just shoot it down?

You can be so negative, Ellie.

- Guess so.

- You guess so. Taurus much?

- Whatever.

I don't wanna argue anymore.

It's all we've done for weeks.

Arguing was better than this.

Not to mention all the movies and
dinners and laughs we used to have.

- That's why we need to end this.

Before it ruins what's left of us.

- See you at the staff meeting?

These have \x22sensual\x22 in the name.
Is that a good thing?

- Uh... are we really gonna do this?

Sex is an expression
of our intimacy and closeness.

- Your nose is so growing right now.

Em! Sean!
What're you doing here?

- Well, I'm... I'm late for work.

- Later, Sean.

Em, are you sick, or...?

- No.

It's just that...

Well...

Sean and I are...

Snake...?!

- Oh. Oh...!

Oh, God. I'm an idiot. Sorry.

Uh, does your mom
know about this?

- Yeah. We had the talk.

- Cool. I just, you know...

I... I didn't know.

Well, I will see you
at home for dinner.

- Sure thing. Later, skater.

Entrepreneur's fair, booth 112.

You played the mall lady like a drum!

- Thanks, hon. You helped too.

Nah, I don't have
the Paige power of persuasion.

But we make a good team, huh?

Not looking a gift Porsche
in the mouth here,

but what's going on?

Banting was less than fun
for me,

so, to paraphrase Sheryl Crow,

I just wanna have some fun.

- Fun's good.

It's just, the last time
we did this, last year...

it ended weird.

- Because we had no ground rules.

This time we do.

We are just friends.

Friends with a benefits package.

Those are benefits
I could live with.

It's the best of both worlds.
Caj is the way we rock it.

- You said that without laughing?
- The moment overtook.

It just felt so good
to mack on Spinner

with impunity.
- Great.

I have class with him
in 20 minutes.

I'll try to ignore
his big, dumb, grinning face.

- Jesse!

Hey.
- Hey!

Uh, latest edition.
Ad's on page three.

And I asked Nina to write a piece
on you guys for her fashion column.

- This is - wow!

Thank you so much.

The Core and Squatch Designs
could have a future together.

In business.

- Alex,

um... you know Jesse, right?

- Yeah, you're Ellie's boyfriend.

- Was.

Ellie didn't tell you we broke up?

- She keeps to herself a lot.

- She's like that. Well, gotta run.

Interviewing a friend's band.

- How journalist of you!

What are they like?

- Kind of an alt-country vibe.

They're playing tonight.
Campus Club.

If you're into it,
you should come.

So I ran into Em
at the pharmacy today,

with Sean,

picking up birth control.

You know, the pill?

- Really?

- Wait.

She told me she asked you.

Well, we had the \x22talk\x22
a while ago.

I told her to go on the pill
whenever she was ready.

And I was left out
of this conversation, why?

Don't we talk about these types
of things as a family?

I wasn't sure if you could handle
this type of thing.

Or if you'd even want to.
It's a woman thing.

It's a parent thing.
And I want to contribute.

You contribute delicious,
nutritious dinners nightly.

Kidding!

- Um, Emma, you, uh...

you lied to me this afternoon.

- I didn't lie. There's just...

some things
you don't need to know, okay?

Pardon me for being concerned about
my teenage daughter who's made mistakes

and feels the need
to hide things from me.

- Step-daughter.

Whatever - I deserve
to be a part of your life!

Hey!
- Snake,

this is exactly why sometimes
you aren't! Emma, wait!

I'm meeting Sean.
Don't wait up.

- They're really in the pocket.

Like in a groove?

- I... I like how relaxed they are.
- Totally vibing off each other.

In the moment, yes.
It is the only way to be.

Hey, let's dance!

- Sure.

- This is good.

I almost forgot what it feels like.
Ellie hated dancing.

It's too bad,
'cause you are a natural!

Move over Antonio Banderas!

- Ain't seen nothing yet, Michalchuk!

- Thank you.

Tell me again why you need me
to model at the dumb fair?

- Because Marco looks lousy in pink.

So, uh, you and Jesse
dancing up a storm last night.

Did it end there?

There was coffee.
At his place.

Had an amazing convo.

And then some other stuff.

And bachelor number one knows
about bachelor number two,

i.e. Spinner?

Bachelors one and two
both know the score.

As a matter of fact,
I'm seeing them both tonight.

- Ooh, ménage â Paige.
- Not quite.

Spinner is my 7:00
and Jesse's my 9:00.

Hey, you wanna come to my place
when you're done

for a post-game wrap-up?

I've got the good ice cream.

- Sure, hon. I'd love to.

Pretty in pink.

Just like the movie.

- Hey.

Thought we could maybe talk.

- The MI server blew a hard drive.

- Look, I'm sorry about last night,

but I'm old enough
to make my own decisions.

Hello? I'm trying to have
a conversation here.

Emma, no hard drive means no server
means no classes for today.

I need to handle this right now.
- 'Cause you obviously can't handle

the fact that I'm a sexual being.

And you can't
keep avoiding it forever.

- Ooh, not that this isn't fun,

but I really need to get going.

- Gotta go see the other guy,

Jesse Stupid-face.

- Spinner, you know the deal.

- Yeah, I know.

It's just... being with you

feels... so right.

And I always go by my feelings.

Spin, don't trust your feelings, okay?
Feelings are the enemy.

Honey, sweetie,
you are clearly new

to the ways
of \x22friends with benefits.\x22

Maybe it's better if we just stop.

- No.

No... it's cool.

I'll... I'll get used to it.

- See you at the fair tomorrow?

I like what I'm seeing here.
Lots of adventures.

- Of the freshman-flameout kind?

I'm kind of on \x22adulthood, take two.\x22
- Really?

I did that two years ago.
Thought everything was ruined,

but it kinda opens up a road,
you know?

- That is exactly how I feel.

Just... hit the gas and go.

- Totally.

But I'm a... cautious driver.

- Let's dance, okay?

Show me more of those moves.

- Okay.

Good afternoon, Ms Nunez.
Ready to rock the catwalk

with insouciant smile?
- Yeah, whatever,

let's just get it over with.
- Um, is it \x22Everyone Hates Paige\x22 Day?

Maybe, seeing as it was \x22Ditch Alex
and Don't Even Call Her\x22 last night.

- Hon, I forgot. I'm sorry.

Babe, could you just
straighten our sign a bit?

Don't tell me your 9:00 with Jesse
became a 10:00,

then an 11;00, 12:00, 1:00...

I said I'm sorry.
It's just...

I think things are becoming
a bit more than caj with Jesse.

He's kinda special.

- Rush into stuff much?

Pathetic, Paige. Pathetic.

Hence the inevitability
of environmental collapse.

Thank you.

- Okay.

Thanks, Liberty.

Uh, Emma? You're up.

Your theme?
- Women...

and sex.

More specifically,
it's about how men

have stifled women's
sexual expression throughout history.

- Right on, sister!

When men think of girls,
this is what they see.

But when confronted

with something like...

this -

a healthy, natural expression
of physical intimacy -

men can't handle it.

At all.

They feel free
to ride their instincts,

but when women stand up
and declare their right

to be sexual? It's this.

A typical double-standard.

Men don't want to hear it.

- Are you sure you want to model

Jimmy's fab designs
with that unfab pout?

- I'm not pouting.

Okay, I am.

Look, Paige, here's the deal.

I need all of you,

or none at all.

Babe, I'm sorry.
I should've known this would happen.

It's just...
ultimatums make me itchy.

- It's not an ultimatum, Paige.

But if you don't break it off
with Jesse right now...

we're through.
- And now I'm itchy.

Don't make me choose.

You won't like my choice.

- So you'd pick stupid Jesse?

With his stupid hair

and his stupid shirts
and his stupid face?!

Five-minute warning.
And you've got a visitor, Paige.

Jesse!
Um, what a crazy surprise.

Wanted to wish you luck
and get a quote for the Core.

- Now is not such a great time, hon.

- Yeah, go drink a latte, emo-boy.

Spinner, can we please
be grownup about this?

- Yeah.

No! Get outta here, loser!

Oh, I'm a loser?
Okay... \x22Spinner.\x22

You'll be cursing that name
when it kicks your ass.

- Your name will kick my ass?
- Aim for 10.

One, two, three... that's it.

- Whatever - you suck!

- Will you both shut up?!

You, go stand out front!

You, go put on
the rest of your outfit

and a smile,
because we have to go model

these freaking clothes!
Clear?

- Alex...
- Save it.

Got a minute for someone
who's mean, cruel and hurtful?

I have all the time in the world,
'cause you are none of those things.

- I'm sorry for what I did in class.

I know it kinda hurt.
- It's fine.

Because you were right.

And your presentation, by the way,
it was good.

Not very subtle, but good.

Emma...

I've known you
since you were in a stroller

and the idea of you growing up,

it's... it's a trip.

- For me, too.

I mean, I'll be moving away,

going to university.

I'm not a little kid anymore.

I just thought
this was gonna be easier.

Guess I better get used to it.

- So...

Dad...

do you want to have \x22the talk\x22?

- You know what?

I think I'm good.

Well, here's to our first
fireworks-filled fashion show.

But, hey, three new buyers
can't be wrong, right?

Cheers!

So Spin spoke to me
after the show,

all apologies for freaking out,

but we both know that it just...
it wasn't meant to be.

But Jesse is still into the caj thing,

so what say you, wise counsel?

I say they both suck.
And for that matter, so do you.

- You know what, Alex?

You suck too.
- Sorry!

Oh, your apology is killing me
with its plaintive sincerity!

- God, I hate your thesaurus.

I hate how you're acting right now!
Why are you doing this?!

- Because I love you, you idiot!

So much,
it scares the crap out of me.

Why. Just...
why did you tell me

to go on all those dates?!

Because I thought you being caj
with guys was nothing serious.

And a lot better
than you with some other girl.

- I just... can't...

with you right now.

I really do...

I really have to go back inside.
