PETER: ONE, TWO, THREE... ACTION!
DO YOU THINK THAT AGENT IS EVER GONNA CALL ME?
DO YOU THINK THAT PETER GUY IS EVER GONNA NOTICE ME?
WE'VE BEEN COMING HERE FOR WEEKS.
OKAY. WHAT IF I STOOD UP?
DO I HAVE, LIKE, LUMPY CHAIR DENTS IN MY THIGHS?
ALL RIGHT, YOU'D NEED FAT ON THEM - OR ANY.
EMMA: LOOK. HE'S TALKING TO THAT TURQUOISE TANKINI TRAMP.
I HATE HER.
YOU'VE ALREADY WON.
YOU DON'T NEED A TANKINI
TO HIDE YOUR BUDDHA BELLY
OR SHORTS TO CAMOUFLAGE YOUR BUTT.
EMMA: MANNY...
HE'S LOOKING AT YOU.
MANNY: PLEASE.
I'M NOT HIS TYPE.
HE'S LOOKING AT YOU - YOU ARE.
THAT IS THE FIRST GUY I'VE LIKED
SINCE HURRICANE SEAN
BLEW THROUGH MY EMOTIONAL TRAILER PARK.
EM, I HAVE ONE GOAL THIS YEAR,
AND IT AIN'T ANONYMOUS HOT-DUDE-AT-POOL.
I'M GONNA BE AN ACTRESS.
GO AHEAD, SMILE,
'CAUSE I'M DOING IT.
WHATEVER IT TAKES?

PAIGE: CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT WE,
THE MOST CURSED CLASS IN HISTORY,
ACTUALLY MADE IT TO SENIOR YEAR?
ALL: NO.
HAZEL: I GUESS ASHLEY DIDN'T MAKE IT.
CRAIG: YET. SHE'LL BE HERE.
RIGHT, EL?
DEFINITELY.
HEY!
SHE'S A BIG AGENT.
SHE'S PROBABLY JUST BUSY.
JT: TRUST PAPA SUPAFRY, OKAY?
THE ACTING WORLD IS ALL ABOUT BRUTAL REJECTION.
HATZILAKOS: YOU PUT IN A LOT OF WORK THIS SUMMER,
AND THAT'S WHY I'M LETTING YOU BACK.
BUT ONE SLIP-UP, AND I MEAN ONE,
AND YOU'RE OUT THAT DOOR.
GOT IT.
I WON'T DISAPPOINT YOU, MISS H,
I SWEAR TO GOD.
MALE VOICE OVER P.A.: CAN I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION, PLEASE.
A SET OF KEYS WAS FOUND UNDER THE BLEACHERS IN THE GYM.
IF YOU'VE LOST YOUR KEYS...
SPINNER: HEY GUYS.
LOOK WHO'S BACK? JIMMY.
UH... GOOD SUMMER?
HEY.
GUY: HEY MANNY.
HE'S ACTUALLY HERE.
YOU CAN DO IT.
UH, I'M TOO NERVOUS!
[LAUGH] HI.
WELCOME TO EMMA, I'M DEGRASSI.
NICE TO MEET YOU, DEGRASSI.
MANNY: IT'S A TRADITION - BACKWARDS GREETING.
WE ALL DO IT FIRST DAY.
SO YOU'RE MANNY AND I'M...?
PETER.
I KNOW YOU. YOU'RE THE ACTRESS FROM THE KEVIN SMITH FILM.
YEAH.
I'M A DIRECTOR. WELL, ASPIRING, ANYWAY.
YOU GOT AN AGENT?
I SENT MY PHOTOS TO BERNICE FEIN AND...
SHE'S THE BEST IN THE CITY,
SO, I'M JUST WAITING FOR A CALL.
PETER: FOREVER.
THAT'S HOW LONG YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO WAIT.
YOU GOTTA MARCH RIGHT INTO HER OFFICE,
LOOKING LIKE A MILLION BUCKS, AND DEMAND TO SEE HER.
MY DAD ALWAYS SAYS,
"IF YOU WANT SOMETHING IN LIFE, DON'T ASK.
JUST TAKE."
[CELL PHONE RINGS]
EXCUSE ME.
HELLO?
ELLIE: ASHLEY HASN'T EMAILED IN A WEEK.
SHE'S TOTALLY DISAPPEARED.
MARCO: OKAY... UH...
MAYBE-MAYBE-MAYBE SHE'S GONNA SURPRISE CRAIG?
HMM? SHOW UP AT HIS BIRTHDAY TOMORROW.
IT'S TOMORROW?
WHAT DO WE DO?
OH MANUELLITA, I DIDN'T MAKE LUNCH.
I JUST CAME FOR MY CREDIT CARD.
UH... LEFTOVERS? OR A TOASTY SANDWICH?
I COULD THROW TOGETHER AN OMELET.
MOM, IT'S MY CREDIT CARD, AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW
WHY YOU GUYS DON'T LET ME KEEP IT.
YOUR DADDY AND I
JUST WANT YOU TO BE RESPONSIBLE.
I AM!
I WORKED REALLY HARD ON THE MOVIE
TO MAKE ALL THAT MONEY.
SOMETIMES WE ARE CONCERNED.
WHAT YOU WEAR, WHERE YOU GO...
WITH BOYS.
AND YOUR GRADES.
WHAT, DO YOU THINK I'M RETARDED?
I'M NOT! I CAN MANAGE!
I'M SMART!
I JUST...
I JUST NEED SOME NEW CLOTHES FOR SCHOOL,
OKAY MOM?
FIFTY DOLLARS ONLY, OKAY?
YOU KNOW HOW YOUR DADDY IS.
HE'LL CHOP OFF OUR HEADS.
OKAY.
THANKS, BYE.
MARCO: I DID A SAFARI IN MASAI MARA,
AND HONEST EL, IT BLEW MY MIND.
[GIGGLING]
WHAT? YOU TWO HAVE HAND SIGNALS?
WE DON'T EVEN HAVE HAND SIGNALS.
[COMPUTER BEEPS]
OH... GOOD, IT'S FROM ASH.
NOT GOOD.
WAY... WAY NOT GOOD.
UH... THAT...
THAT IS- THAT IS NOT CRAIG.
IT'S ALISTAIR, AKA "ALI",
AKA THE REASON SHE'S...
STAYING IN ENGLAND.
WHAT? OH...
NICE BIRTHDAY PRESENT.
ELLIE: OKAY, WE HAVE TO THROW HIM THE GREATEST,
MOST ROCKINGEST PARTY EVER.
WOW.
DID YOU JUST SAY ROCKINGEST?
YEAH.
I'M THAT UPSET FOR HIM.

SPARE TWO MINUTES FOR PEST CONTROL?
THANKS, BERNICE.
"AND IN THE MIDST OF ALL THAT RESCUING,
IN THE MIDST OF ALL THAT CLAWING FOR HOPE,
NOBODY MADE IT OUT OF OUR WEDDING ALIVE."
A GLASS OF MILK, HONEY.
YOU WANT ME TO- ?
BERNICE: I MEAN, IT'S NICE - MILK.
UH... IT'S KINDA BORING.
DANNY, TAKE A LOOK AT THE WALL BEHIND ME.
TELL ME WHAT YOU SEE, DEAR.
A BUNCH OF REALLY GORGEOUS PEOPLE.
MM-HM.
BUT THEY'RE NOT JUST GORGEOUS.
THEY'RE SPECIAL. THEY HAVE "IT".
LOOK AT ROBIN. ROBIN HAS "IT".
ROBIN IS SPECIAL.
WHAT'S SO SPECIAL ABOUT YOU?
HMM?
EXACTLY MY POINT.
SO, YOU GO FIGURE THAT OUT BEFORE YOU COME BACK HERE.
OH, AND A WORD OF ADVICE?
STOP WITH THE BEANS AND RICE AND UH...
DUMP THE LUMPS.
COME.
[HORN BLARES]
[SCREAMS]
HI, EMMA?
CAN YOU MEET ME DOWNTOWN, NOW?
EMMA: UGH, LOOK AT THAT ASS.
SHE SAID "DUMP THE LUMPS".
OKAY, SHE'S OUT OF HER MIND.
AND I'M A GLASS OF MILK.
OKAY, YOU ARE OUT YOUR MIND.
MANNY, YOU ARE GORGEOUS.
YOU DO NOT NEED TO CHANGE.
REMEMBER WHEN YOU GOT YOUR PERIOD IN CLASS-
SHH...
REMEMBER WHEN YOU GOT YOUR PERIOD IN CLASS
AND EVERYONE WAS LAUGHING AT YOU
AND YOU JUST TOLD THEM ALL TO SHUT UP?
I FEEL LIKE THAT EVERY DAY.
LIKE EVERYBODY'S JOKING ABOUT ME,
AND I CAN NEVER GET THEM TO SHUT UP.
AND A PLASTIC SURGEON CAN CHANGE THAT?
THEY WON'T BE LAUGHING WHEN I'M FAMOUS.
MANNY SANTOS?
SO, SOME OFF MY UH... THIGHS AND,
MY...
YOUR BOTTOM?
YES, BUT I THINK MY...
BOSOM?
YES, I THINK THEY'RE FINE
OR... IT - OR MY BUST -
I THINK IS FINE.
BUT CONSIDER...
A LARGER BUST WILL ACTUALLY HELP
BALANCE OUT YOUR LOWER HALF.
SO IF WE COMBINE LIPO WITH BREAST AUGMENTATION,
I CAN CREATE FOR YOU, MANNY, A VERY, VERY STRIKING FIGURE.
OH, OKAY.
I WANNA DO IT. LET'S DO IT.
OKAY.
THERE'S SOME DETAILS THAT WE HAVE TO DISCUSS
INCLUDING THE RISKS, OF COURSE.
FINE. HOW MUCH?
[LAUGHS] AH WELL...
SIX THOUSAND IS THE AVERAGE COST OF AN IMPLANT,
PLUS OR MINUS,
DEPENDING ON MODEL, ET CETERA.
UH... LIPOSUCTION, MORE OR LESS $3000.
I HAVE ENOUGH.
AND PARENTAL CONSENT?
I HAVE ENOUGH... OF IT.
I'M SORRY, I HAVE IT.
AND [AHEM] HOW SOON?
UH, SIX, SEVEN OR EIGHT WEEKS
UNTIL THERE'S AN OPENING IN THE O.R.,
BUT THAT'S ONLY IF YOU BOOK NOW
AND LEAVE A DEPOSIT. OTHERWISE-
DO YOU TAKE CREDIT CARDS?
HEY, SPINNER. HAVE ANY COFFEE?
SPINNER: YEAH, THEY TELL ME THAT'S WHAT THE CUPS ARE FOR.
ONE TO GO, PLEASE.
HM... PARTY SUPPLIES, EH?
I KNOW SCHOOL'S EXCITING BUT...
IT'S CRAIG'S BIRTHDAY.
SO WHAT, YOU GUYS BEST FRIENDS NOW?
NO, NO...
I JUST... I KINDA FEEL RESPONSIBLE
SINCE MY FORMER BEST FRIEND'S RUINED THE GUY'S LIFE.
OOPS, ASH DID IT AGAIN.
SHE PLAYED WITH HIS HEART,
GOT LOST-
ANYWAY...
NOW I'VE GOT NO PLACE TO THROW HIM HIS CHEER-UP PARTY.
WELL, YOU KNOW I COULD GET US THAT WHOLE CORNER.
I MEAN YOU.
YOU GUYS CAN HAVE THAT WHOLE CORNER.
REALLY?
YEAH, THAT'S NO PROBLEM.
I'M HERE FOR THE NIGHTSHIFT ANYWAY.
CAPTAIN COOK?
DIDN'T WE ALREADY DO HIM IN LIKE, GRADE FOUR?
PETER: YEARS LATER, PETER WAS TO LOOK BACK
AND REMEMBER HOW CUTE IT WAS
WHEN SHE MADE FUN OF HIS HISTORY PROJECT.
OKAY, WAIT, WAIT.
I HAVE THIS IDEA FOR A MOVIE.
IT'S ABOUT A GIRL LIKE YOU -
SMART, FIERY, NOT TOTALLY HIDEOUS.
CHARMING, THANKS. BUT I DUNNO.
WHY NOT?
A GOOD MOVIE UNDER YOUR BELT?
YOUR AGENT WOULD LOVE THAT.
YOU DID GO TALK TO THAT AGENT,
DIDN'T YOU?
YEAH, BUT SHE SAID I NEED SOME WORK.
SO DO IT.
AND LISTEN TO THIS:
"I HAD THE AMBITION NOT ONLY TO GO FARTHER
THAN ANY MAN HAD EVER GONE,
BUT TO GO AS FAR AS IT WAS POSSIBLE TO GO."
YOU FREE TONIGHT?
MY FRIEND'S HAVING A PARTY.
UM... SORRY, I CAN'T.
BECAUSE?
MANNY: JUST BECAUSE BUT...
YOU SHOULD ASK EMMA IF SHE'S FREE.
I WILL ASK HER BUT UH...
HERE'S THE ADDRESS FOR YOU -
JUST IN CASE.
I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE THEY LET HIM BACK
AFTER WHAT HE DID.
IT MAKES ME SICK.
BLAH BLAH, SPINNER. THAT'S SO LAST YEAR.
I WANT THE LATEST
WITH THE PRINCESS ASHLEY DIARIES.
HOW'S CRAIG DOING POST DUMPAGE?
WELL. REALLY WELL.
MARCO: YEAH, 'CAUSE UM... HE DOESN'T KNOW YET.
OH.
ELLIE: HEY, IT'S THE GUY'S BIRTHDAY.
IT CAN AT LEAST WAIT TILL TOMORROW, RIGHT?
THERE HE IS!
ALL: SURPRISE!
[CHEERING AND BLOWING PARTY HORNS]
WHO DID THIS? I HATE SURPRISES.
[LAUGHING]
EVERYONE: [LAUGHING]
ELLIE: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
CRAIG: THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
THIS IS GREAT!
SORRY.
HOW WAS YOUR DAY?
WHAT'S GOING ON?
A DOCTOR'S OFFICE CALLED TODAY...
TO GET PERMISSION...
FOR BREAST SURGERY?!
OKAY. WAIT.
I HAVE TO EXPLAIN. I WAS JUST... ASKING.
I WAS... CURIOUS-
JOSEPH: DON'T LIE!
YOU MADE A DEPOSIT!
I CALLED THE CREDIT CARD COMPANY.
I'M TRYING TO BE AN ACTRESS.
I NEED TO MAKE CHANGES - FOR MY JOB.
SCHOOL'S YOUR JOB.
AND THE ONLY CHANGING YOU SHOULD DO
IS INTO- INTO DECENT CLOTHES.
MY CLOTHES ARE FINE.
DO YOU THINK I SACRIFICED ALL MY LIFE
SO YOU COULD BE A LOOSE GIRL?
I'M NOT A LOOSE GIRL!
THEN WHY YOU WANT BIGGER BOOBS, HUH?
HUH?
WHAT KIND OF GIRL WANTS THAT?
A GOOD GIRL? NO!
ONLY A SLUT.
JULIETTA: MANUELLA! WAIT!
JOSEPH!
[SOBBING]
[PARENTS ARGUING]
THERE ARE TWO EXTRA SCOOPS IN THERE.
I WON'T TELL.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MAN.
YEAH.
I GOTTA GET BACK.
UH, CRAIG,
I'M SORRY ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED, EH?
IT SUCKS.
I MEAN, YOU'RE A GREAT GUY,
AND YOU DESERVED BETTER THAN THAT.
BETTER THAN WHAT?
BETTER THAN ASHLEY.
MAN, I KNOW ALL ABOUT IT, OKAY?
ALL ABOUT WHAT?
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
ELLIE SAID THAT...
NOTHING.
IT'S NOTHING.
NOTHING. IT-
ELLIE: TIME TO OPEN PRESENTS?
IT'S TIME TO TELL THE TRUTH.
WHAT IS GOING ON WITH ASHLEY?
IF YOU TOLD SPINNER, YOU CAN TELL ME.
SHE WANTED TO TELL YOU HERSELF.
SHE WANTED TO WAIT TILL THE TIME WAS RIGHT.
WHATEVER. JUST TELL ME.
SHE MET SOMEONE.
WAIT...
YOU KNEW AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME?
DON'T SHOOT THE MESSENGER, CRAIG.
WE-
CRAIG: YOU KNEW, TOO-
DID EVERYBODY KNOW?
SCREW YOU.
[LOUD MUSIC BLARING]
JENN: ARE THEY VINTAGE? LOOK LIKE VINTAGE.
EMMA: YEAH, THEY'RE FROM THAT LITTLE STORE
AT DUNDAS AND GRACE.
HEY MANNY!
WHAT'RE YOU DOING HERE?
I WAS JUST BORED, I GUESS.
SO, HOW'D YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS PARTY?
PETER: HEY MANNY, GLAD YOU COULD MAKE IT.
I GUESS HE INVITED YOU.
JENN: OH!
THAT EXPLAINS IT.
PETER INVITED HER.
HE DOES GO FOR GIRLS LIKE THAT.
[MEAN GIRLS GIGGLE]
MANNY, WHAT IS GOING ON?
HAVE YOU BEEN CRYING?
NO, I'M FINE. JUST LEAVE ME ALONE.
HI, CAN I BORROW SOME VODKA?
[MUSIC BLARING]
ELLIE: HOW IS HE?
MARCO: WELL, HE'S BASHING ON THE POOR DEFENSELESS DRUM KIT,
BUT HE'LL BE FINE.
UGGGGGHHHH! SO TERRIBLE.
EL, IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT,
OKAY?
DON'T WORRY, I THINK HE KINDA SAW IT COMING.
THEN WHY DO I FEEL SO AWFUL?
'CAUSE YOU LIKE HIM.
MARCO, HE'S MY BEST FRIEND'S BOYFRIEND.
YEAH, BUT...
NOT ANY MORE.
YEAH.
WELL... YOU'RE STILL WRONG.
[MUSIC BLARING]
[INDISTINCT PARTY CHATTER]
[NEW SONG BLARING]
MANNY: AND THEN, MY DAD CALLED ME A SLUT.
MUST BE QUITE THE CONVERSATION. I THINK IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO GO HOME,
LITTLE GIRL LOST.
I'M NOT A LITTLE GIRL.
[GIGGLING]
HAVE YOU EVER KNOWN A GIRL WHO GOT A BOOB JOB?
OR IS GONNA?
I HOPE YOU'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT YOU.
THAT'S WHAT I SAID!
I SAID MY BOOBS ARE GREAT,
AND DOCTOR SAID I'M WRONG.
WELL, MAYBE YOU NEED A SECOND OPINION?
MAYBE WE SHOULD MAKE A LITTLE MOVIE...
'CAUSE CAMERAS NEVER LIE.
YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU'RE RIGHT, MANNY.
CAMERAS NEVER LIE.
IN FACT, THIS CAMERA...
WILL GIVE A PERFECT SECOND OPINION.
I'M GONNA BE AN ACTRESS,
LIKE, ACADEMY AWARD WINNING,
AND YOU CAN SELL THIS FOR A MILLION DOLLARS!
'CAUSE I'M GONNA BE FAMOUS!
