Degrassi: The Next Generation (2001–2015): Season 6, Episode 8 - Crazy Little Thing Called Love - full transcript
Sean is released from jail and vows to comply with his two-year probation sentence. He's eager to be reunited with Emma but she has a big confession to make about her past.
- Hey, sight for sore eyes.
Oh, yeah.
Mm... I'm free.
All thanks to you.
- All I did was help you get a lawyer.
- You got me a hearing,
you got my sentence reduced...
- And two years of probation.
- Whatever, I'm out.
Now we can be together.
The perfect girl and the guy
who doesn't deserve her.
Man, I missed you.
- I missed you, too.
A lot.
- Yeah?
I also missed
bacon double cheeseburgers -
with the works!
I see jail
hasn't turned you vegetarian.
Sorry. Been dreaming about it
for months.
I guess I could put my carnivorous
objections aside just this once.
But first, it's present time.
- Is that really us?
- Six über-long years ago.
- Sometimes I wish I could stop time.
Go back.
- To bad hair, braces,
and general
pubescent awkwardness?
No, thanks.
Back to a time
when you were proud of me.
- So how was the sofa? Not too lumpy?
Mm, no, it was great. Thanks.
I really appreciate
you guys letting me crash here
till I'm back on my feet.
- What're your plans now that you're out?
- Already with the grilling?
I know you two
are more than just friends, Em.
A mother gets to ask.
- It's cool.
Jay is hooking me up with his boss.
Apparently they need
a new mechanic.
What about school?
Have you given any thought
about coming back to Degrassi?
- I got expelled.
- Well, maybe I could talk to her.
- No. I mean -
no, thank you.
I really don't wanna set foot
in that place again.
- Tell them about Cameron's Custom Cars.
Someday I want to open up
my own shop.
Well, that sounds like a fine plan -
if you can find
a bank manager willing
to lend money to a high-school dropout.
- Couple that with your record...
- Mom...
it's his first day out of jail.
Can you go easy, please?
Sorry. We're really glad
you're here, Sean.
We're sure
you're going to figure it all out.
Your life, I mean.
You have lots of time for that.
- Hey!
How many times have I told you guys -
no running in the halls!
Sorry, Mr. Perino.
- Sorry?
Look at me, look at my shoes!
They're ruined!
- So buy some new ones.
Are you sure you want to use that tone
with your teacher?
Believe me, you don't want me
to make your lives difficult.
- Guys, go get the mop from the janitor
and clean this mess up.
Capisce? Go!
- Smart-asses, you know?
Drive me crazy.
- Just try to remember,
they're just kids.
Right, Dom?
Dom?
- Engine runs on?
- It's a loose timing chain.
- Shimmy in the steering?
You know how to fix it?
Yeah.
You machine the front rotors.
- Jay was right, you know cars.
Cars are my life. You know,
if you know how they work,
they never let you down.
- Spoken like a true mechanic.
Tell you what,
we've got a Lexus with a faulty AC.
Go to work.
You... you mean I got it?
I got the job?
And not for long
if you don't get to work.
- Yessir!
Whoo!
I got it, man!
- What'd I tell ya?
After years of fighting,
the Second World War
came to an end
with the bombing of Hiroshima.
Once the \x22Third Rake\x22
finally surrendered,
the Iron Curtain divided Europe...
I think it's time
this presentation surrendered.
And by the way,
it's \x22Reich,\x22 not \x22rake.\x22
You're done.
- But you cut me off.
The assignment was to summarize
an event in your own words,
not bore everyone by copying
the damn thing from your textbook.
- It's not my fault history's so boring.
Might be to you, but I'll assure you,
history is a fascinating discipline.
Maybe it's the teacher.
- Who said that?!
Mr. Haig,
you got something to say,
don't be a clown.
Be a man and say it.
Okay, I will.
Can't you cut Danny a break?
I mean, he's trying his best.
- I'll tell you what.
Instead of giving Daniel
a zero for plagiarism?
Detention - both of you.
And tomorrow,
I'll let you help him
redo his presentation.
- Hey, gorgeous.
- How did you do that?
- You're a lousy sneaker.
And every car
has at least three mirrors.
Based on the fact
that your freshly pressed white shirt
is now forgotten on the tool bench,
you got the job?
Your little pep talk helped.
Thanks.
And a big shout-out to Jay!
Who totally went to the mat
for his bud! Huh?
My best friend and my girlfriend -
the only two people I can count on.
Girlfriend? Oh, I guess
not even jail time
can keep you two lovebirds apart, huh?
We should all hang out, huh?
Catch up on old times?
Yeah, Sean's not caught up
on old times.
- Old times are overrated.
- Alright, well, um...
Well, I'm all done here.
Why don't I take my girl
out for dinner?
- Go, have fun. I'll lock up.
Detention rocks! I'd take it over
History class any day.
Plus we got Perino
off our backs now.
- Hey, later.
- Later.
Hey, Mr. Perino.
- Derek.
- Something wrong with your car?
- Why? Did you do something to it?
- No. I just thought - bus stop.
What, no funny jokes?
Not much of a comedian
outside of class, are you?
- I'm sorry.
- Don't pull that innocent act with me.
Uh, uh...
I think I'm gonna walk home.
- Let me make myself clear.
Show me some respect,
or we've got a serious problem.
Understood?
Where is my lucky bra?
The one that gives me Manny boobs.
- What's the big deal?
You're just going on a date with Sean.
- It's not a date. It's the date.
The he's-finally-back-in-my-life-
and-everything-has-to-be-perfect date.
And you're trying to live up to
the pedestal that he's putting you on.
There is nothing wrong with having
a boyfriend who thinks you're amazing.
- Unlike those shoes,
nobody's perfect.
- Least of all me.
I went by the garage today
and Jay was there.
- Three's definitely not company!
Jay is Sean's best friend.
How do I even begin to tell him...
what I did... with Jay...
in the ravine?
- You were single.
It was a crazy time.
What were you supposed to do,
sit home and knit?
I'm not sure that Sean's
gonna see it that way.
If he really loves you,
then he should.
- Okay, I'll be back in an hour
to lock up.
Don't break anything.
- We won't.
Thanks, man.
It's not much,
but jail does a number
on a guy's savings.
- The place, the candles...
the tofurkey.
Everything is perfect.
- It is perfect.
You're perfect.
- I've still made mistakes.
You're talking
to the master of mistakes.
So you won't hold them
against me?
- Of course not.
Why? Is there something
you need to tell me about?
- No. It's just...
... stupid.
- Nothing you say is stupid, Em.
You're the smartest person I know.
Hey, last night, uh...
I thought Emma
was dropping hints.
Did something happen?
- No. It's probably nothing.
If there was something,
you'd tell me, right?
No, man. Forget it.
You're not hearing it from me.
- Jay, come on.
After everything I've been through,
I can handle it.
- Fine. But I warned you.
Alright, while you were gone...
Em and I kind of...
fooled around.
- You had sex?
- No. No, no, no.
I mean... not really.
It depends how you look at it.
I had more than she did.
I can't believe this.
You and Emma?
- Dude, don't overreact.
Look, you'd just broken up with Ellie.
You and Emma
hadn't been a thing
for, like, years.
It just kind of happened. Once.
You said you could take it.
- Just shut up, okay? Shut up!
- Man... I'm sorry.
- I said shut up!
- Sean, what are you doing here?
Shouldn't you be at work?
- Never mind.
Did...
did you and Jay
have a thing last year?
- Who told you that?
- Wrong answer.
- Sean, it was two years ago,
right after I had a gun
pointed at my face!
To say that I was super-duper messed up
would be an understatement.
How could you do that?!
And with Jay?
The thought of you two together
makes me want to...
What happened
to \x22I won't hold it against you\x22?
- Lovers' quarrel?
- I take it we're not cool.
- Don't talk to me.
Jay, get on the Lexus.
Mr. Leyton's my best customer.
Uh, you want to hand me
that ratchet?
- Get it yourself.
- Look, it was over a year ago, man.
Just let it go.
- I'm not gonna let it go! Alright?
You took something that was good
and you ruined it.
Just like you always do!
- Right, right, make me the bad guy.
Alright, whatever helps you
sleep at night.
You didn't care about Emma!
You used her!
You took advantage of her!
- I didn't take advantage of anybody!
The truth is,
she chased me, dude.
She damn near begged me
to let her do it.
So each group is now holding
a different part of the human body.
I want you to explain
in essay-form,
the function of your part.
- Well, this should be easy.
Em!
You're killing Johnny Carcass-Man!
His heart's not gonna work
with a pencil in it!
I'm sorry. I was imagining
it belongs to Sean.
Who found out about me and Jay -
from Jay.
Ouch. Hope you had a soft landing
when you fell off that pedestal.
Easy, cuckoo-bananas!
This is one of the few classes
that I'm not failing.
What is it with guys
and their ridiculous double standards?
They can do whatever they want,
but a girl makes one mistake
and her rep is tarnished for life.
Look, I know your little visit
with Jay in the ravine
may not have been
on the Emma Nelson highlight reel,
but no guy has the right
to judge you.
Especially Sean.
- Derek, can I talk to you a minute?
Look, I just want to make sure
there's no misunderstanding
about last night.
- Well, what you said, Mr. Perino...
it was kinda threatening.
- Derek, you're a smart kid.
I hate seeing you waste your potential.
I was just trying to motivate you.
- More like you freaked me out.
- Look, what do you say
we just forget it even happened?
- Yeah...
I guess.
- Okay.
Look, go in there
and knock that presentation
outta the park, okay?
You remembered
to change the oil?
There's an oil-change charge
on the bill, isn't there?
I've noticed a bit of pulling lately.
How's the tire pressure?
- Seems fine to me.
- Maybe I should talk to your boss.
If you have a problem
with my work,
then you take it up with me.
So... do we have a problem?
I have a mechanic
with an attitude.
- Hey, Sean, back off!
Look, I'm sorry, sir.
His problem, it's with me.
- Tell Tony I quit.
- ... and in late October 1945,
the United Nations was formed.
- To promote human rights
and prevent future world wars.
- Nice job, you two.
Okay, who's my next victim?
Jackson...
you ready?
Blank stare. Figures.
Did anybody not stay up all night
playing video games
and looking at nudie pictures
on the Internet?
Take the zero.
- Why do you have to be like that, sir?
- Do you have a problem, Mr. Haig?
I didn't think so.
Alright, who's gonna butcher
another presentation?
Or do I have to keep
handing out zeroes?
Hmm?
Hey, where you going?!
- Classic Sean:
when the going gets tough,
the Sean gets going.
- Not much to stick around for.
So the minute you find out
I'm not perfect, you run away?
- Not perfect? I'd say.
Well, what did you expect, Sean?
I'm a real person!
In three months
I'll be old enough to vote,
to legally drink in Quebec!
I'm not the girl you knew
in Grade 7 anymore.
- What happened to you?
- I grew up!
Maybe you should try it!
My parents kicked me out
when I was 12, alright?
I grew up in a hurry.
I needed to, to survive.
- All you did was build a wall
between yourself and the world,
to hide behind.
You let me down,
my parents let me down,
the school system let me down.
I'm just saving myself from more.
So all your problems
are someone else's fault, right?
It's not my fault
you did that to Jay.
And you'll never let me forget it,
will you?!
Okay, little boy, I give up!
- Did he get fired?
- No. But, uh...
Ms. Hatzilakos
is launching an investigation.
- I should've kept my mouth shut.
- No, you did the right thing, Derek.
Ready to give
your side of the story?
- Is it okay if I'm a little scared?
- Don't be.
Okay, I'll be in there with you.
Come on.
- This isn't supposed to happen.
- It didn't have to.
But you made it.
When I came back here
from Wasaga, Emma...
... it wasn't for school,
or to open a garage.
It was none of that.
The funny thing is,
you got what you came for.
Then you blew it.
- Don't give up on me.
Please.
- I can't be perfect, Sean!
I can't be everything you need
all the time.
- Good.
I want you to challenge me.
I want you to call me on my crap.
- Sure.
But if we're gonna have
a real relationship,
you need to save yourself
from yourself sometimes.
- I'll ask Tony for my job back.
Okay, I'll get
my high-school equivalency...
I'll start looking for my own place.
- And what about us?
- I want to get to know you again, Em.
DVD Subtitling: CNST, Montreal
Oh, yeah.
Mm... I'm free.
All thanks to you.
- All I did was help you get a lawyer.
- You got me a hearing,
you got my sentence reduced...
- And two years of probation.
- Whatever, I'm out.
Now we can be together.
The perfect girl and the guy
who doesn't deserve her.
Man, I missed you.
- I missed you, too.
A lot.
- Yeah?
I also missed
bacon double cheeseburgers -
with the works!
I see jail
hasn't turned you vegetarian.
Sorry. Been dreaming about it
for months.
I guess I could put my carnivorous
objections aside just this once.
But first, it's present time.
- Is that really us?
- Six über-long years ago.
- Sometimes I wish I could stop time.
Go back.
- To bad hair, braces,
and general
pubescent awkwardness?
No, thanks.
Back to a time
when you were proud of me.
- So how was the sofa? Not too lumpy?
Mm, no, it was great. Thanks.
I really appreciate
you guys letting me crash here
till I'm back on my feet.
- What're your plans now that you're out?
- Already with the grilling?
I know you two
are more than just friends, Em.
A mother gets to ask.
- It's cool.
Jay is hooking me up with his boss.
Apparently they need
a new mechanic.
What about school?
Have you given any thought
about coming back to Degrassi?
- I got expelled.
- Well, maybe I could talk to her.
- No. I mean -
no, thank you.
I really don't wanna set foot
in that place again.
- Tell them about Cameron's Custom Cars.
Someday I want to open up
my own shop.
Well, that sounds like a fine plan -
if you can find
a bank manager willing
to lend money to a high-school dropout.
- Couple that with your record...
- Mom...
it's his first day out of jail.
Can you go easy, please?
Sorry. We're really glad
you're here, Sean.
We're sure
you're going to figure it all out.
Your life, I mean.
You have lots of time for that.
- Hey!

- Guys, go get the mop from the janitor
and clean this mess up.
Capisce? Go!
- Smart-asses, you know?
Drive me crazy.
- Just try to remember,
they're just kids.
Right, Dom?
Dom?
- Engine runs on?
- It's a loose timing chain.
- Shimmy in the steering?
You know how to fix it?
Yeah.
You machine the front rotors.
- Jay was right, you know cars.
Cars are my life. You know,
if you know how they work,
they never let you down.

came to an end
with the bombing of Hiroshima.
Once the \x22Third Rake\x22

- Okay.
Look, go in there

outta the park, okay?
You remembered
to change the oil?
There's an oil-change charge
on the bill, isn't there?
I've noticed a bit of pulling lately.
How's the tire pressure?
- Seems fine to me.
- Maybe I should talk to your boss.
If you have a problem
with my work,
then you take it up with me.
So... do we have a problem?
I have a mechanic
with an attitude.
- Hey, Sean, back off!

I'll be old enough to vote,
to legally drink in Quebec!
I'm not the girl you knew

between yourself and the world,
to hide behind.
You let me down,
my parents let me down,
the school system let me down.
I'm just saving myself from more.
So all your problems
are someone else's fault, right?
It's not my fault
you did that to Jay.
And you'll never let me forget it,
will you?!
Okay, little boy, I give up!
- Did he get fired?
- No. But, uh...
Ms. Hatzilakos
is launching an investigation.
- I should've kept my mouth shut.
- No, you did the right thing, Derek.
Ready to give
your side of the story?
- Is it okay if I'm a little scared?
- Don't be.
Okay, I'll be in there with you.
Come on.
- This isn't supposed to happen.
- It didn't have to.
But you made it.
When I came back here
from Wasaga, Emma...
... it wasn't for school,
or to open a garage.
It was none of that.
The funny thing is,
you got what you came for.
Then you blew it.
- Don't give up on me.
Please.
- I can't be perfect, Sean!
I can't be everything you need
all the time.
- Good.
I want you to challenge me.
I want you to call me on my crap.
- Sure.
But if we're gonna have
a real relationship,
you need to save yourself
from yourself sometimes.
- I'll ask Tony for my job back.
Okay, I'll get
my high-school equivalency...
I'll start looking for my own place.
- And what about us?
- I want to get to know you again, Em.
