Degrassi: The Next Generation (2001–2015): Season 6, Episode 7 - Working for the Weekend - full transcript

- Spinner?

- Hey... Darce.

Y'know, what happened
between me and you?

The breakup?

I'm really sorry.

- Me too.

More than anything
in the world.

- But it was the right thing to do.

There was something... missing.

I'm sorry.

I hope we can be friends.



Oh, Spinner Mason -

just under the wire.

Oh, and here is our very special
guidance counsellor, Ms. Sauve.

Why don't you all open up
those career-aptitude tests.

If nothing else,
the results may help

inform what universities you apply to
and what majors you choose.

- Criminal lawyer. All right!

- Family law for me.

NYU here we come!

I think we're gonna have to open
a practice together.

Downtown Manhattan.
Family and Criminal Law.

Clown?
I'm supposed to be a clown?

- Well, remember,

this is just a guide, okay?



It... it's important

that you find something
that you're passionate about.

- Like being a cop?

Oh, yeah.
Get right on that.

- Ah... pull it together, man.

I can't have a basket case
sporting my gear.

She said
there would always be an us

Then she crushed my heart
with a bus

I pledged abstinence and faith

'Cause she said 'twas forever

Now it's just me.

- \x22 'Twas\x22!

Are you sure
\x22poet\x22 wasn't in your test results?

- Didn't see \x22artist\x22 in yours.

What happened
to the whole art dream?

I woke up.

Art isn't a career. Law is.

- Yeah, so is being a clown, I guess.

- Y'know, Spin, Paige is in town.

Marco and Ellie
are having people over.

You should come.
- I dunno.

Wrong. You're not sitting home
another night

writing these sad-ass,
mwah-mwah,

I'm-gonna-kill-myself poems.
I forbid you.

Time to get to get on a positive tip.
Alright?

- Alright.

- Hey.

Thank you.

- It was amazing!
- It was classic.

And the face that he was making?!

- Zip it. I'm trying to study.

Trying to graduate
before you turn 30? Good luck.

- A, I already graduated.

And B, do I even know you?

Unless you want these carrots
to become part of your anatomy,

I suggest you stop.

I'm officially too old for this.

Okay, all we have left here
is Keiko and Suki's rice crackers.

I spent all my snack money
on textbooks,

and I'm thinking those
are kind of dry, so here.

Oh. Well, one of the many perks
at Banting - amazing meal plan.

Hey, that is a spiffy top, Spin!

Since when are you so au courant?
- It's a Jimmy Brooks original.

You don't know how many people
have asked me where they can get

one of these designs.
- Nah. Really?

Really. Ever think about selling them?
A lot of money in it.

Yeah, Jesse, don't even bother.
I keep telling Jim

to start his own line of T-shirts,
but he never listens.

It's 'cause it's crazy, Marco.
I'm not gonna start selling T-shirts.

Why not?
There's nothing stopping you.

- There's a lot stopping me, actually.

- What? Like your dad?
- Like reality.

Didn't somebody say something
about playing poker?

Oh, I'm in! Thanks to too many
all-night poker sessions,

I'm a Texas Hold 'Em wiz.

All right, what's the buy-in?

- Check it out, check it out.

Spimmy Designs!

Huh?
Or The Jimner Clothing Company?

Squatch Wear,

I like that one.
- Okay, stop, rewind.

Losing the plot.
What is this?

This is the future, baby.
I'm turning you into the next John John.

- It's \x22Sean John.\x22

Potayto, potawto.
Okay, look -

Jim, people love your T-shirts, man.

Let's start a business!

- With what money?
- I got some saved.

Plus, Marco's dad can give us
some shirts on spec.

We make a bunch, go to campus,
Brad's your uncle.

Do you know how much work
that would take?

Oh, we could do it.
You and me, together?

Plus, when it takes off,

becomes a huge money-maker,

I can forget
all about \x22Clown Academy.\x22

Jimmy, you're gonna need money

for your fancy New York University.

Right?
Let's make some.

I've got an academic fund.
I'm totally taken care of.

- All right.

- Jimmy...

Then again...
I guess it would be cool

to see more people
wearing my stuff.

- Yeah?

- Yeah. Let's give it a shot.

- Alex Nunez smiling after a test?

Just... happy.

Kinda aced it.
- Congratulations.

I'm proud of you.
It shows real maturity

that you came back
to upgrade your marks.

Especially after your friends moved on.

You can't become a physiotherapist
without a degree.

Which means I gotta up my marks
if I wanna get accepted anywhere.

So... gotta run.

You know what would really help
with your university application?

- Extracurriculars?

- Which you don't have.

- I knew this was going somewhere.

- Look, I really need girls for lacrosse.

I'm so low on players
I might even have to cancel the team.

- A tragedy of global proportions.

- Alex, you love lacrosse.

I remember from gym class -
you're a natural.

I am fond of bashing people
with a large stick.

So... you'll think about it?

- Me and team sports? Sorry.

Not a whole lot to think about, Ms. H.

- I'm sorry, we're all out.

We can't run this operation
out of a cardboard box, eh?

I'm thinking
mail-order pyramid scheme?

Or we could set up shop outside,
like, Raptors games and concerts...

- Or... or...

We let the market come to us.

- What about rent?

Dude, I've saved a cool grand
working at The Dot.

And I'm not like I'm gonna need it
for \x22Clown Academy.\x22

- Are you serious?
- I've never been seriouser.

What about your academic fund?
Say you skim a little off the top?

No. My dad has been putting money
in that fund since I was two years old.

If I even think about touching it,
I'm dead.

Come on, give your dad a little credit.
He might just go for it.

Especially when he hears
about how good we're doing.

- So here you are,

back from the magical university land
of Banting.

Which I assume is going...
- Mm, better than perf.

But what about you?
Are you seeing anyone?

Is she cute? Do I know her?
I want all the juicy details.

- Sorry, can't help you.

I'm the queen of Boring Single Lameland.

Degrassi's all I got going on.

Well, I bet
you must be running that place.

Are all the kiddies running scared?

Actually, they're shaking
at my terrifyingly good study habits.

Apparently,
I'm also a natural lacrosse player.

Ms. H. wants me to join the team.

My, oh, my.
You, on a sports team?

- Ain't gonna happen.

Lacrosse is for losers.

Yeah, there's the bitter girl
that I know.

The bitter loner
you used to know

is trying to be a little sweeter
these days.

Well, sweetie, a tiger
can't change its stripes overnight.

Spinner, I have to read
an entire novel. A Russian one?

Yeah, can you guys
find another place to set up shop?

- Good idea, Marco.

That's funny,
we just passed one on the street.

- All set, Jim?

- Yeah.

- Dude, ask him.

- Dad...

we have this... little business.

It's, uh...

these T-shirts...

with my designs,

and people
are really digging the art.

- Oh, good for you, son.

I'm not crazy about the colour,

but, uh, put me down for one.

We also thought
we could take it to the next level

and open up a shop.
Make it legit, y'know?

So I was wondering if you'd mind
if I dipped into my academic fund.

Son, you can't afford
to chase these little dreams.

The answer is no.

I'll be in the car.

I don't even need my dad's permission
to access my fund.

We're gonna do this, Spin.

We're gonna open this shop.

Does that sound good?
- Dude, that's like...

that's like my 10 favourite songs

playing at the same time,
turned up to 11!

Jimmy, man, this is incredible.
Well, it ain't pretty,

but the customers
don't seem to mind.

I just can't believe
we're making money.

I mean, if this thing takes off,
I could probably pay my own way

to art school.
- Art school?

What happened to pre-law?
NYU?

I don't know. I-I just think
maybe this art thing could work out.

How cool would that be?

- Very cool.

As long as we're together
and you're happy,

it's all good.

Man, we are going
to be famous fashion designers!

Just like \x22Dutchie and Gabbana.\x22

Yeah, that's, uh...
\x22Dolce and Gabbana,\x22 Spin.

You know,
the gay fashion designers?

- Yeah. Except... not so gay.

- You guys take debit?

- Cash only, my friend.

They'll be back.

- Okay, guys,

that was good focus
and good passing.

Ah... here's our ringer!

So you're ready
to help with the team?

Nothing I love more
than giving up my weekend -

for the team.

Most of you probably know Alex.
She graduated last year.

So we are lucky to have her back.
- I can't get enough of this place.

Okay, let's continue
loosening up a little bit.

Let's do some passing drills, okay?
Stay focused, guys!

Hey, Baby Carrots,
looks like we're teammates.

Yeah, doesn't mean
I have to talk to you.

- Guys, we sold a truckload!

I can't believe this day!

When these guys are famous,
they'd better remember their friends.

Okay, this should improve
the snacks around here.

- Mm. You didn't have to, Jimmy.

- Speak for yourself.

After Marco's dad's cut
for the T-shirts,

the rest is pure gravy.

- Ah, not to be a killjoy,

but I've taken some business classes.
You've got taxes...

... bookkeeping,

insurance,

overhead and hydro.

- Dude, our gravy.

- I guess we have a problem.

- Sirina, I'm open!

Over here! Over here!

Come on!

Let's go!
You're in, you're in, you're in!

- Riiing!

Squatch Designs,
what can I put you down for?

A hundred?!

Super!

- You've been busy.

Ah, you know,
just saving the store.

- You doubled the prices?!

Yeah, to recoup our costs
twice as fast.

Spin, look around.
You're driving business away.

- At least I'm trying.

Yeah, too hard!
Spin, look, I've been thinking.

Maybe this is a bad idea.

Maybe my dad was right.
- No, he was wrong.

And we'll see just how wrong
and laugh in 10 years,

when we are sipping cognac

on our fly company yacht.

Spinner, wake up!
There's no yacht!

Okay, in 10 years
I'll be practicing law in New York

and you'll be twisting balloon animals
in North York.

Look, let's just fix the tags, please,

and sell everything
we have on the shelves,

and we'll be done.

Yeah, you know what?
You do it.

I'm on break.

- Sirina!

So...
you finally remembered my name.

- Ms. Hatzilakos told me.

She also told me
that you and I have to get along.

So...

go, team, go?

I'm trying to be nice here.

- Please!

You know,
you're not fooling anyone.

You're a hateful bitch, Alex.

It's all you're ever gonna be.

- Alex!

My office.

Now!

- Hey, what's up?

Feel free to look around.

We got some cool tees here,
so just ignore the prices;

I'm still fixing them.

It's not the tees
that I'm interested in.

- Hey!

Spinner, help!

- Move and I break it in half.

- I owe you one.

- They're not poisoned.

And they make great projectiles.

I got a week's worth detention.

That should make you happy.

- You really don't remember, do you?

- Am I in the Twilight Zone?

No. I don't know you, Sirina.

- Two years ago,

you almost blinded me
with a laser pointer

during my first - and last - debate.

Or how about when you tripped me

on the way to the caf?

I sprained my ankle
and I had to quit the team.

It wasn't personal.
You could've been anybody.

- But it was me.

A real person.

You made my life hell.
And the worst part?

You don't even remember doing it.

- Heck of a takedown, chief.

You guys will get that vendor's license
before you open up again?

- Actually, we, uh...

we won't need it.

We're gonna close shop,
permanently. So...

- We'll be in touch.

- You know,

you have no idea
how lucky you are.

You're right.
That guy could've killed me.

- I'm not talking about that!

I'm talking about this!
Look at that design!

It's awesome!
People love it!

I would give anything
to have what you have, Jimmy -

talent?

Who says you don't?
I just watched you

take down some dude
like Jack Bauer in there, man.

That was sick.

If that ain't talent... dude!

Yeah, I guess
I am a crime-fighting super-stud.

You're right about that.

Officer,
what's... what's the problem?

- Well, it seems to me

there was a robbery here
at this location.

He looks pissed.

Just wait till I tell him
where I got the money for this place.

Man, I'm a dead man rolling.

- Dude, I just faced down a robber.

I think you can face down your dad.

- Thanks. I appreciate it.

Jim, I'm so relieved you're alright.

Let's get you home now, okay?

- Okay. Dad, uh... just wait.

We gotta talk.
