EMMA: LATER, SKATER.
MANNY: THANKS, SPIN.
HEY, THERE'S DARCY.
HEY, YOU SHOULD'VE COME IN FOR COFFEE.
WHAT'S UP?
HEY.
COME ON, I THOUGHT YOU GUYS WOULD NEVER LEAVE.
GO, GO, GO!
WORK. EXAMS. WORK. EXAMS.
I NEEDS ME SOME DARCY.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
I HAVE SOMETHING TO SHOW YOU.
KIM GOT ME A JOB AS A COUNSELOR.
DARCY DOES SUMMER CAMP.
SOUNDS LIKE MY KIND OF MOVIE.
SUCKS I'M GONNA HAVE TO STAY HERE IN TORONTO
AND MISS IT.
WITH LOTS...
AND LOTS OF OTHER GIRLS AROUND.
DARCY, I DON'T WANT TO BE WITH ANYONE ELSE.
YOU'RE EVERYTHING TO ME.
[LAUGHS]
SORRY, SPIN.
WE CAN'T.
WE TOOK A VOW.
TO REMAIN VIRGINS TILL MARRIAGE.
[SIGHS]
VIRGINS, YEAH.
TOTALLY.

YOU'RE CHIPPER FOR SOMEONE
WHO WAS ON THE PHONE WITH CRAIG UNTIL 3 A.M.
IT'S YOU IN THE FOOD LINE.
BEATS THE HOSPITAL. YAY, THERAPY!
ALTHOUGH, COMPARED TO THE CAF?
HOSPITAL FOOD GETS A BAD RAP.
OH NO. FOOD AND DRINKS.
WE NEED REFRESHMENTS FOR THE VARIETY SHOW,
AND I STILL DON'T HAVE A TECH CREW.
MANNY, YOU'RE THE DIRECTOR
AND THE LEAD ACTOR.
THIS IS YOUR SHOW, TAKE CHARGE.
SPINNER: I'VE BEEN READING BLOGS BY CHRISTIAN TEENS,
ON ABSTINENCE.
IT'S ALL ABOUT PREVENTION.
SO, WE HAVE TO FIND WAYS TO STAY BUSY.
MANNY: OKAY, ALL YOU DEGRASSI-ITES!
THE VARIETY SHOW NEEDS VOLUNTEERS.
SO, C'MON EVERYONE! SHOW SOME SUPPORT!
DANNY: TAKE IT OFF!
OOH! OOH! OOH!
HOW PERFECT IS THIS?
MAN, WHEN GOD ANSWERS PRAYERS,
HE'S QUICK.
SIGN US UP, MANNY!
MANNY: OMIGOSH, SPINNER, YOU ARE MY HERO.
[CLEARS THROAT]
AND YOU TOO, DARCY.
[SCHOOL BELL RINGS]
MS. HATZILAKOS: SO, GRAD WEEKEND IS ALMOST HERE,
AND OUR 50TH ANNIVERSARY VARIETY SHOW
IS COMING TOGETHER VERY NICELY.
AND ATTENTION SPANS ARE ZERO,
SO IT MUST MEAN THAT IT'S TIME
FOR MY POST-SECONDARY PREPAREDNESS CLASS.
FIRST UP... FINANCES.
UM, MY HOPED FOR UNIVERSITY, BANTING,
PLETHORA OF SCHOLARSHIPS,
BUT WHEN IT COMES TO ME
THEY HAVEN'T BEEN SO ACCEPT-Y, YET.
WELL, ACCEPTANCES ARE JUST TRICKLING IN.
AND I'M SURE WHEN YOURS COMES IN PAIGE,
YOU'LL BE PREPARED.
I'M PREPARED FOR A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN
IF IT DOESN'T.
MAYBE I'LL GET A TATTOO.
HELLO?
DISCUSSING THE FUTURE HERE -
MY FUTURE.
AS IN THINGS THAT COULD AFFECT THE REST OF MY LIFE.
OR I COULD LEARN HOW TO PLAY THE BASS.
THESE ARE YOUR FUTURE PLANS?
THINGS THAT COULD HAPPEN NEXT WEEK?
ALEX: IT'S CALLED "LIVING IN THE NOW".
AND WE BOTH KNOW
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING ABOUT THE NOW IS ME.
LOOK! THE BIG ENVELOPE FROM BANTING.
AND EVERYONE KNOWS THE BIG ENVELOPE
MEANS YOU GET IN. AND I DID! I GOT IN.
WE ARE SO OUT OF HERE!
YOU'RE LATE,
AND OUR BOSS HAS BEEN BREATHING DOWN MY NECK.
UM, WHAT PART OF, "WE ARE SO OUT OF HERE"
DIDN'T YOU UNDERSTAND?
WE? I DIDN'T GET INTO BANTING.
MALE CUSTOMER: AND DON'T FORGET, TOPPING HALFWAY,
AND THEN AGAIN ON TOP. THANKS.
WELL, MAYBE YOU COULD COME WITH?
WE COULD GET OUR OWN COZY LITTLE PLACE?
ALEX: SOUNDS COZY.
BUT WHAT WOULD I ACTUALLY DO...
IN KINGSTON?
YOU COULD WORK.
GET A TRANSFER FROM THE MOVIE THEATRE.
YOU CAN KEEP THAT TOPPING COMING, MISS.
YOU'LL BE STUDYING YOUR BUTT OFF AND MAKING NEW FRIENDS.
AND I'LL STILL BE DISHING OUT POPCORN?
MALE CUSTOMER: MISS, DO I NEED TO SHOW YOU
WHAT I MEAN BY MORE TOPPING MYSELF?
[BUTTER SLOSHES]
CAN'T WAIT FOR YOUR HEART ATTACK.
NEXT TIME YOU INSULT A CUSTOMER,
MAYBE NOT IN FRONT OF YOUR MANAGER.
ALEX, CAN I SEE YOU IN MY OFFICE?
[SIGHS]
STOP. STOP.
DO I HAVE COOTIES ALL OF A SUDDEN?
NO, I JUST...
I DON'T WANT IT TO GO TOO FAR, OKAY?
[IRRITATED EXHALE] I BET IF MANNY WERE HERE,
SHE'D BE ALL OVER YOU. JUST LIKE IN THE CAF.
AW, THAT WAS NOTHING.
THAT'S JUST MANNY'S WAY.
SHE'S ALWAYS LIKE THAT.
I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT SHE WAS LIKE
WHEN YOU TWO WERE GOING OUT.
YOU WANT A PLAY-BY-PLAY?
SPARE ME.
I CAN BARELY STAND THE IDEA
OF YOU BEING WITH HER AT ALL.
TRUTH IS, WHEN I WAS WITH MANNY,
WE DID NOTHING TOGETHER.
ZIP.
YOU'RE SERIOUS?
YEAH, I WASN'T EVEN INTO HER THAT WAY.
HER WHOLE SEXUAL PAST...
AW, IT JUST TURNED ME OFF.
SO YOU'RE REALLY A VIRGIN?
SPINNER: I'M SO VIRGINAL...
MARY'S JEALOUS.
[LAUGHING]
I FEEL SO BAD NOW, ABOUT MANNY.
YOU KNOW, IF SHE JUST REPENTED AND PURIFIED HERSELF,
HER PAST COULD TOTALLY GO AWAY.
YOU CAN DO THAT?
YEAH, IT'S A CEREMONIAL THING.
I THINK IT COULD REALLY HELP HER.
HEY!
CANDY AND A CHICK FLICK?
SOMEONE'S GOT IT BAD.
YEAH WELL, IT'S NO "CLOWN ACADEMY II".
BUT IF DARCY'S HAPPY, I'M HAPPY.
BUT YOU'RE NOT.
MM, I'M GREAT. EVERYTHING'S PEACHY.
BANTING?
YOU'RE LOOKING AT THEIR NEWEST ACCEPTEE.
PAIGE, THAT'S AWESOME!
GET OVER HERE!
WHOA! BANTING IS LIKE THE HARVARD OF THE NORTH.
I AM LIKE, SO HAPPY FOR YOU.
THIS IS SO COOL.
OH, CANDY'S ON ME.
IT'S MY TREAT.
THE EVIL ONE MADE ME CLEAN THE BATHROOMS.
THEN SHE FIRED ME.
FOR THE TOPPING INCIDENT?
STRIKE THREE: GOODBYE POLYESTER;
HELLO UNEMPLOYMENT.
I DON'T WANT THIS STUPID JOB.
IT'S TIME TO MOVE ON, DO SOMETHING ELSE.
ANYTHING IN MIND?
RIGHT NOW? NO.
I JUST GOT FIRED.
CAN WE LAY OFF THE CAREER PLANNING,
JUST FOR TONIGHT?
I HAVE TO GO.
SEE YOU TOMORROW?
SPINNER: I SAW THESE LAST NIGHT.
THEY'RE CLADDAGH RINGS.
SEE...
WHEN THE HEART FACES THE BODY,
IT MEANS COMMITMENT.
BEING HONEST AND TRUE TO EACH OTHER.
SPINNER, THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL.
TO OUR FUTURE TOGETHER.
I LOVE IT.
[BIKE BELL RINGS]
MANNY: AND ONE... TWO... THREE... FOUR...
CUT IT.
THERE'S MY FAVOURITE TECHIE!
THE LIGHTING BOARD NEEDS A FRIEND.
GET ACQUAINTED.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
HE SO HAS A THING FOR CHEERLEADERS.
YOU'RE NUMBER THREE.
AND A LOCK TO LEAD THE SQUAD NEXT YEAR.
YOU THINK SO?
MANNY: YEAH, YOU'RE PRETTY, YOU'RE GRACEFUL,
A NATURAL DANCER.
PLUS, YOU DIDN'T GET KICKED OFF
'CAUSE EVERYONE SAW YOUR BOOBS.
SO THAT'S A BONUS.
MANNY? I'VE BEEN THINKING.
YOU KNOW, IF YOU WANT A FRESH START?
THE DOOR'S ALWAYS OPEN AT FRIENDSHIP CLUB.
[CHUCKLES] UM, SWEETIE,
THE NUN-LIFESTYLE RULES
AREN'T EXACTLY MY SCENE.
TRUST ME, ANYONE CAN CHANGE.
I MEAN, LOOK AT SPIN.
PRAYER, ABSTINENCE... HE'S A BELIEVER.
AS IN ABSTI-NO-SEX?
KUDOS TO YOU FOR MAKING THAT HAPPEN WITH SPIN.
YOU MUST BE A MIRACLE WORKER.
WAIT. UM, ARE YOU SAYING THAT
YOU AND SPINNER HAVE HAD SEX?
DARCY, ARE YOU SERIOUS?
WHAT HAS HE BEEN TELLING YOU?
MS. KWAN: CONGRATULATIONS ON ALL YOUR HARD WORK.
BELIEVE ME, NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO,
YOU'LL THANK ME
FOR YOUR EXCELLENT COMMUNICATION SKILLS.
ALEX.
THANKS FOR NOTHING.
OH, "A MINUS". I AM ON FIRE.
THAT'LL IMPRESS THE PANTS OFF ANY ADMISSIONS OFFICE.
JIMMY: I HOPE SO.
BECAUSE I'M A COUPLE CREDITS SHORT,
AND UH...
IT'S STILL ALL UP IN THE AIR.
YOU DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN,
AND THE SKY ISN'T FALLING?
AMAZING.
MM. SHE'S HIGH ON CARPE DIEM.
SIDE EFFECT OF BEING FIRED.
I'LL GET ANOTHER JOB.
OR THERE'S ALWAYS WELFARE.
GREAT PLAN, ALEX. THAT SOUNDS LIKE FUN.
FUN.
DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT IS?
THIS, THIS IS FUN.
DO YOU REALIZE HOW CLOSE I AM
TO THAT SCHOLARSHIP?
YOU WANT FUN?
LET'S CUT CLASS TOMORROW.
DO SOMETHING WE'VE NEVER DONE BEFORE;
SOMETHING WILD AND CRAZY
AND TOTALLY NUTS.
OR THERE'S A SALE ON AT THE MALL.
YOU'RE STARTING WITH THE 60S,
THEN MOVING ON TO THE 1800'S?
THIS IS A MESS!
OKAY, IT'S CALLED CREATIVE LIBERTY, LIBERTY.
AND I AM AN ACTOR, NOT A HISTORIAN.
FINE. BUT I DON'T THINK CHARLOTTE DEGRASSI
HAD AN MP3 PLAYER.
I NEED TO STEAL YOUR BOYFRIEND, DARCY.
LIBERTY: NATE HAS MONO. SPINNER, YOU ARE VICTOR.
MANNY - CHARLOTTE.
W-W-WAI-WAIT. I'M ON LIGHTING.
I'M MORE OF A BEHIND-THE-SCENES
KIND OF GUY.
YEAH, THE SHOW'S IN TWO DAYS.
WE DON'T HAVE TIME TO DISCUSS THIS.
READ, NOW.
UM... CHARLOTTE,
PROMISE ME YOU'LL BE MINE FOREVER.
OF COURSE, VICTOR.
OUR LOVE SHALL LAST A LIFETIME.
MARRY ME, CHARLOTTE.
I WILL, VICTOR! I WILL!
[QUICK KISSING SOUNDS]
SPINNER AND MANNY: [LAUGHING]
WHAT WAS THAT?
UM, IT'S JUST PART OF THE SKETCH, SWEETIE.
IT'S IN THE SCRIPT.
MANNY, I'M NOT STUPID.
YOU'RE CONSTANTLY FLIRTING WITH MY BOYFRIEND.
YOU STILL LIKE HIM.
OKAY, I'M BACK ON LIGHTING.
UM, WHO WANTS TO BE MANNY'S ACTING PARTNER?
ANYBODY?
YEAH, NOT SURPRISING.
WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?
MANNY, EVEN YOU CAN BECOME PURE AGAIN.
ALL IT TAKES IS REPENTANCE.
YEAH, I'LL GET RIGHT ON THAT.
WELL, YOU SHOULD,
CONSIDERING YOU ARE THE SCHOOL'S BIGGEST SLUT.
YOU ARE THE LAST PERSON TO EVER CALL ME THAT.
MALE STUDENT: OH! OH!
OHHH!
MANNY AND DARCY: [SOUNDS OF STRUGGLE]
SPINNER: GIRLS! MANNY!
MANNY!
GET UP!
HAVE YOU TWO GONE COMPLETELY PSYCHO?
YOU LIED ABOUT BEING A VIRGIN, SPINNER.
SHE TOLD ME.
WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING?
GET- GET BACK TO WORK PLEASE!
GET GOING!
WHAT ARE YOU GUYS STARING AT?
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
OKAY. HOW'S THIS?
GOOD MORNING, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
FRIENDS AND FAMILY,
TEACHERS AND ADMINISTRATORS-
OH, I THINK YOU LEFT OUT THE JANITOR?
PAIGE, IT'S A VALEDICTORIAN SPEECH.
I WANT TO BE INCLUSIVE.
REFILLS?
WHOA!
YOU LOOK LIKE YOU JUST LIVED THROUGH A COUNTRY SONG.
MY DOG IS FINE. MY TRUCK RUNS TOO.
MUST BE GIRL TROUBLE.
MARCO: HA, NO KIDDING.
YOU DIDN'T HEAR ABOUT THE DARCY/MANNY CAGE MATCH?
SPINNER: DUDE, DON'T REMIND ME.
DARCY'S COMPLETELY CONVINCED
THAT THERE'S SOMETHING GOING ON WITH ME AND MANNY.
[SCOFFS] JEALOUSY IS A NASTY THING.
'KAY, BUT THERE'S NOTHING TO BE JEALOUS OF
'CAUSE I'M NOT CHEATING WITH MANNY.
THAT'S BESIDES THE POINT, HON.
DARCY IS JEALOUS OF YOUR PAST,
NOT YOUR PRESENT.
THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO.
UNLESS YOU CAN -
I DON'T KNOW - SOMEHOW CREATE A TIME MACHINE
AND ERASE THAT PAST.
ALEX: YOU SHOULD ADD THIS TO YOUR LIST.
I THINK YOU MIGHT REALLY LIKE HER.
THANKS, HON.
UM, SO...
HAVE YOU GIVEN ANY THOUGHT TO, YOU KNOW, BANTING?
THE FUTURE?
NOPE.
IT'S MONTHS AWAY.
WHY WOULD IT EVEN BE CROSSING MY MIND?
BECAUSE...
IT'S IMPORTANT TO HAVE A PLAN;
TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON;
TO HAVE SOME SORT OF DIRECTION.
IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO HAVE FUN.
WHICH, BY THE WAY, TODAY HAS BEEN COMPLETELY
AND UTTERLY LACKING.
FINE. WHAT'S FUN? SHOW ME.
I DON'T KNOW.
TAKE THAT CD.
EXCUSE ME?
YOU'VE NEVER STOLEN ANYTHING IN YOUR LIFE BEFORE,
HAVE YOU?
AND I'M NOT ABOUT TO START.
IT'S A RUSH. JUST TRY IT.
NO THANK YOU, REALLY.
[ALARM BEEPS]
[ANGRY SIGH]
PAIGE: HI, I'M SORRY. THAT WAS AN ACCIDENT.
MARCO: SURE YOU WANT TO DO THIS?
SPINNER: DUDE, I'M SURE, OKAY?
THE QUESTION IS, WHAT ABOUT YOU?
I MEAN, YOU AND FRIENDSHIP CLUB
DIDN'T EXACTLY HIT IT OFF.
AH, OLD NEWS, BUD.
I'M JUST, I'M HAPPY YOU EVEN ASKED ME TO HELP.
HEY GUYS. WHAT'S GOING ON?
SPINNER: YOU ARE MY EVERYTHING.
AND RIGHT NOW, IN FRONT OF ALL OUR FRIENDS,
I WANT TO START OVER.
WITH A CLEAN SLATE. I WANT TO PURIFY MYSELF
AND BECOME A VIRGIN... AGAIN.
IT'S NOT JUST A MATTER OF SAYING IT.
DARCY, I WAS UP ALL NIGHT MEMORIZING SCRIPTURE.
I WANT TO DO THIS.
I, GAVIN MASON,
PROMISE TO HONOUR GOD WITH MY BODY.
I WILL RESIST TEMPTATION
AND TO SAVE MYSELF FOR MARRIAGE.
"COME NOW, LET US REASON TOGETHER,"
SAYS THE LORD.
"THOUGH YOUR SINS ARE LIKE SCARLET,
THEY SHALL BE AS WHITE AS SNOW."
THAT WASN'T FUNNY.
IT WAS STUPID AND EMBARRASSING.
COULD YOU NOT BE SUCH A DRAMA QUEEN?
CAN YOU NOT BE SO IMMATURE?
I CAN'T DO THIS.
CAN'T DO WHAT?
THIS "LIVING IN THE MOMENT" THING.
I NEED STRUCTURE:
PLANS, IDEAS,
AND...
MAYBE JUST A LITTLE EXCITEMENT ABOUT THE FUTURE -
OUR FUTURE.
IT'S YOUR FUTURE, PAIGE,
NOT MINE.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
IT MEANS I HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT I WANT;
WHAT'S GOOD FOR ME.
FOLLOWING YOU TO BANTING?
WORKING SOME CRAP MINIMUM-WAGE JOB
AND BEING YOUR LAPDOG?
DOES THAT SOUND GOOD?
MAYBE I'LL GO TO COLLEGE, MAYBE I'LL JOIN THE ARMY,
MAYBE I'LL START A BUSINESS - I DON'T KNOW.
BUT I HAVE TO FIGURE IT OUT,
ON MY TIMETABLE.
WHAT'RE YOU TRYING TO SAY?
I THINK YOU CAN FIGURE IT OUT.
YOU ALWAYS WERE THE SMART ONE, PAIGE.
HMM... SMILING AND CHEWING.
THAT'S TALENT.
I'M HAPPY, FOR YOU.
'CAUSE YOU GET TO START ALL OVER AGAIN.
[DOG BARKS]
WELL, IT FEELS GOOD.
IT'S LIKE BEING FACTORY FRESH.
MAN, WHO WOULDA THOUGHT I'D BE VIRGIN AGAIN?
NOT AFTER LAST SUMMER.
BUT WAIT, YOU AND MANNY WERE TOGETHER
DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR.
I DON'T GET IT.
UM...
DARCY, MANNY? SHE WAS MY FIRST...
BUT SHE WASN'T MY LAST.
HOW MANY EXACTLY?
TWO.
YOU HAD SEX WITH TWO OTHER GIRLS?!
SPINNER: YEAH, BUT THAT WAS BEFORE I MET YOU.
UH, BEFORE I FOUND CHRIST.
SINCE THEN I'VE DONE NOTHING WRONG.
BUT YOU LIED!
SO, I WAS STILL CLEANSED.
IT'S ALL GOOD.
NO. IT'S NOT.
HOW AM I EVER GOING TO TRUST YOU?
YOU LIED TO ME, SPINNER.
THIS WHOLE THING, IT'S NOT-
IT'S NOT ABOUT LYING OR GOD OR ANYTHING,
EXCEPT YOU AND YOUR STUPID JEALOUSY!
WHATEVER. OKAY?
BELIEVE WHAT YOU WANT TO BELIEVE.
YOU KNOW WHAT I BELIEVE, DARCY?
I BELIEVE I WILL NEVER BE CLEAN ENOUGH -
NOT FOR YOU.
WE'RE THROUGH, OKAY? IT'S OVER.
SPORTS ANNOUNCER: SWING AND OH,
A LINE DRIVE TO CENTRE LEFT.
GOING... GOING...
JAY: I'M NOT HERE TO BUG YOU, OKAY?
I'M-I'M WATCHING THE GAME WITH CHAD.
OR... I WAS BEFORE HE PASSED OUT.
YOU LOOK LIKE YOU GOT HIT BY A BUS.
PAIGE MICHALCHUK, BREAKUP EXPRESS.
YOU LOOKING FOR A SHOULDER TO CRY ON?
ER, MAYBE JUST A QUICK REBOUND?
JAY, I'M NOT BI.
I'M NOT CONFUSED. I'M A LESBIAN -
AN ACTUAL LESBIAN -
WHO JUST BROKE UP WITH HER FIRST GIRLFRIEND
AND IT SUCKS.
I'M SORRY.
THAT'S ONE OF THE FIRST TIMES I'VE SAID I'M SORRY
AND ACTUALLY MEANT IT.
THAT'S ONE OF THE FIRST TIMES YOU'VE SAID SORRY,
AND I ACTUALLY BELIEVED YOU.
UM, DO YOU WANNA WATCH SOME TV WITH ME?
NO FUNNY BUSINESS,
JUST FRIENDS HANGING OUT?
FINE.
[SNORTS]
[DOOR CHIMES JINGLE]
HOT DATE WITH YOUR COURSE CALENDAR?
[EXHALES] UM...
ALEX AND I BROKE UP.
I JUST NEEDED TO BE ALONE.
WELCOME TO SPLITSVILLE.
YOU'RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE.
YOU TOO?
MAN, I WISH I WAS GETTING OUT OF HERE, LIKE YOU.
HMM. DO NOT ENVY ME.
SURE, I GOT INTO BANTING, BUT...
WHAT IF I BLOW IT?
WHAT IF EVERYONE SEES
THAT I AM JUST THIS...
THIS BIG FAKER
WHO DOESN'T BELONG THERE?
PAIGE, YOU TOTALLY BELONG THERE.
TAKE IT FROM SOMEONE WHO KNOWS, OKAY?
YOU'RE AMAZING.
YOU ALWAYS HAVE BEEN.
THANKS.
NO EXTRA CHARGE.
OH, MAN, THE TIME.
UH, CAN I DRIVE YOU HOME?
SURE. THAT'D BE GREAT, SPIN.
