[MUFFLED MUSIC BLARES FROM CAR THEN STOPS]
WHAT? NOW?
I DON'T EVEN HAVE MY BEGINNER'S.
OH COME ON, MY LITTLE SPEED DEMON.
OKAY, SO...
GIVE 'ER SOME GAS.
OMIGOD, IT'S WORKING! I'M DRIVING!
JT: YOU DID FINE.
YOU DID WONDERFUL, OKAY?
NOW, WE'LL GO CELEBRATE.
I'VE GOT TO JUDGE VIDEO ANNOUNCEMENTS
IN 15 MINUTES.
WELL, BELIEVE ME,
THAT'S WAY MORE THAN ENOUGH TIME.
LIBERTY...
DO WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THIS?
JT: I JUST...
I WANNA KNOW IF IT'S SOMETHING I'M DOING, OKAY?
BECAUSE EVER SINCE SCHOOL STARTED
YOU'VE BEEN LIKE... AN ICEBERG.
YOU KNOW, STUDENT COUNCIL PRESIDENT
COMES WITH A LOT OF RESPONSIBILITY,
IF YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.
WHATEVER YOU SAY, YOUR MAJESTY.

SIMPSON: CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR WIN, MADAM PRESIDENT.
LIBERTY: THANK YOU, MR. SIMPSON.
TOBY: OKAY, WE'LL BE READY TO START AUDITIONS
JUST AS SOON AS OUR STUDENT COUNCIL PRESIDENT ARRIVES...
WITH HER MAN-SERVANT.
HA HA.
I'M ACTUALLY HERE TO AUDITION.
FOR I SEEK NOT ONLY TO INFORM,
BUT TO ENTERTAIN, AS WELL.
YOU'RE AUDITIONING?
IS THERE A PROBLEM WITH THAT?
I'M SORRY, BUT EARLY MORNINGS?
WRITING COPY? BEING ON TIME?
DOES THAT SOUND LIKE JT YORKE TO YOU?
LIBERTY, THIS IS KINDA IMPORTANT TO ME.
WHEN THAT LITTLE LIGHT GOES ON,
IT'S A RUSH. IT DRAWS ME IN.
LIKE A MOTH TO A BUG ZAPPER.
ARE YOU SURE BECOMING AN ENTERTAINER
IS A RESPONSIBLE, MATURE CAREER PATH?
WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?
NOTHING. DO WHAT YOU WANT, JT.
JT: I'LL JUST SEE YOU IN CLASS.
I'LL AUDITION TOMORROW.
SPINNER: A-MINUS?!
YES!
KWAN: NICE WORK, GAVIN.
KEEP IT UP
AND YOU MIGHT EVEN PASS THIS YEAR.
GOT ANY TIPS ON HOW TO GET PAST KWAN'S MARKING SYSTEM?
OH, I GOT TIPS, LOTS OF TIPS,
AND UM... I'D BE HAPPY TO SHARE 'EM WITH YOU
ANY TIME, ANY PLACE, ANY SUBJECT.
I'VE GOT A TIP FOR YOU.
THE FLIRTING? LAME.
OKAY, SO WE'LL TRADE.
I'LL HELP YOU WITH ENGLISH;
YOU HELP ME FLIRT.
SO... YOU FAILED LAST YEAR?
YEAH, I HAD SOME PROBLEMS.
WHAT KIND OF PROBLEMS?
MY DOG... GOT SICK WITH LEUKEMIA.
ALL HIS FUR FELL OUT RIGHT AROUND EXAMS.
AND I WAS JUST TOO BROKEN UP OVER SPARKY-
WOW...
NOT ONLY ARE YOU BAD AT FLIRTING BUT...
YOU SUCK AT LYING, TOO.
KWAN: OKAY CLASS, LET'S BEGIN.
GAVIN, ATTENTION, PLEASE.
JT: TOBES.
WANNA HANG OUT TONIGHT?
DON'T YOU HAVE TO RUB LIBERTY'S FEET OR SOMETHING?
LOOK, IT'S JUST...
THE WAY SHE TALKS TO YOU?
YOU GOTTA BE THE MAN, JT.
OH, BELIEVE ME, TOBES,
I HAVE BEEN THE MAN, OKAY?
ALL SUMMER LONG.
YOU AND LIBERTY HAVE BEEN...
GETTING OUR FREAK ON? OH, YEAH.
DOZENS OF TIMES.
SHE ESPECIALLY LIKES IT WHEN I-
♪ OH CAAA-NA-DAAAA! OUR HOME AND NATIVE LAND- ♪
OKAY, I'LL STOP.
SO... WHY IS SHE BARKING ORDERS AT YOU?
SHE JUST BECAME STUDENT COUNCIL PRESIDENT, OKAY?
MY VIRGINAL FRIEND.
SHE'S STRESSED.
SO MAYBE ALL SHE NEEDS IS A LITTLE...
DE-STRESSING.
SPINNER: JIMMY.
C'MON, MAN, WILL YOU JUST GIMME A CHANCE?
IT'S A WHOLE NEW YEAR.
LOOK, JUST 'CAUSE THEY LET YOU BACK,
IT DOES NOT CHANGE WHO YOU ARE.
SPINNER: BUT I HAVE CHANGED, MAN, I HAVE.
[ANNOUNCEMENTS IN BACKGROUND]
LISTEN, I'VE GOTTA TELL YOU SOMETHING.
'KAY? THE TRUTH.
I WAS...
I WAS EXPELLED LAST YEAR.
OKAY. THAT'S A START.
WHY?
I GOT ROPED INTO SOMETHING.
WE PLAYED A LITTLE PRANK ON THIS GUY,
AND HE WENT PSYCHO.
HE CAME TO SCHOOL SHOOTING.
I KNOW ALL ABOUT IT.
I JUST DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE INVOLVED.
ONLY IN THE MOST INDIRECT WAY.
AND I'VE- I'VE MORE THAN PAID FOR IT,
BUT PEOPLE AROUND HERE, THEY...
THEY WON'T EVEN LOOK AT ME.
I'M PERSONA NON GROTTO,
AND IT SUCKS.
LOOK, A BUNCH OF US ARE MEETING UP AFTER SCHOOL.
ROOM 208.
WHY DON'T YOU COME, HANG OUT?
HEY, I READ YOUR DANCE COMMITTEE BUDGET -
ON TIME, UNDER BUDGET.
PRESIDENT VAN ZANDT SHOOTS! SHE SCORES!
THE CROWD GOES WILD!
WEIRDO TEACHER OVERLOAD.
DIAGNOSIS: SIMPSONITIS.
IT'S NOTHING. MINOR HEADACHE.
I MEAN, IT'S UNDERSTANDABLE.
YOU'RE SPINNING A HUNDRED PLATES AT ONCE.
HEY, MAYBE CIRQUE DU SOLEIL'S HIRING.
DON'T WASTE YOUR "A" MATERIAL ON ME.
OKAY.
JUST TELL ME ONE THING.
WHAT'RE YOU DOING TONIGHT?
WORK, WORK AND MORE WORK.
NO, YOU'RE NOT.
YOU'RE GONNA COME WITH ME
AND OUR FRIENDS TO MOVIE NIGHT.
BUT THERE'S THE BUDGET, AND AGENDAS TO COLLATE,
MEMOS TO WRITE...
ALL OF WHICH CAN WAIT.
OKAY. COOL.
I'LL PICK YOU UP.
JT?
YOU'RE REALLY GREAT.
I KNOW.
[PEOPLE TALKING IN LOW VOICES]
DARCY: EVERYBODY? THIS IS SPINNER.
SPINNER: HI.
WHY'RE YOU GUYS ALL SITTING IN A CIRCLE?
YOU SHOULD MOVE THOSE CHAIRS.
IT'S SPINNER'S FIRST TIME HERE
SO WHO WANTS TO TELL HIM
THE FIRST RULE OF FRIENDSHIP CLUB?
ALWAYS TALK ABOUT FRIENDSHIP CLUB.
RIGHT. SPREAD THE WORD.
OKAY, SO SINCE I'VE GOT THE FLOOR,
I GUESS I'LL KICK US OFF TODAY.
CLUB MEMBERS: OUR FATHER, WHO ART IN HEAVEN,
HALLOWED BE THY NAME. THY KINGDOM COME.
THY WILL BE DONE,
ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN.
GIVE US THIS DAY...
JT: OH, POLYESTER'S IN THIS SEASON?
PAIGE: 20 MOVIE THEATRES IN THIS CITY,
AND EVERYONE FROM DEGRASSI COMES TO THIS ONE.
WHAT?
I'LL HAVE ONE EXTREME CORN BUCKET -
DOUBLE TOPPINGS -
UM... A COLA TUB.
ACTUALLY, MAKE THAT ROOT BEER, PLEASE,
AND TWO BENDY STRAWS.
MANNY: UGH! ENOUGH WITH THE PDA.
EMMA: SORRY GUYS, BUS TOOK FOREVER.
ANOTHER ADVANTAGE OF DATING JT.
MY MAN'S GOT A CAR.
AND MY LADY GETS A RIDE WHENEVER SHE WANTS.
ACTUALLY, I GAVE LIBERTY A REALLY GOOD DRIVING LESSON.
SHE'S PRETTY HANDY WITH THE OLD STICK SHIFT.
OKAY, ENOUGH ABOUT YOU AND LIBERTY'S SEX LIFE!
JT: UH...HEY, UH, GOOD HUSTLE, PAIGE.
YEAH, THAT'LL BE $400 DOLLARS.
LIBERTY: MAYBE THIS'LL TEACH YOU
TO KEEP PRIVATE MATTERS PRIVATE.
YOU STILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THAT.
I'VE CALLED. I'VE EMAILED.
IF I GIVE YOU A LIFT,
WILL YOU TAKE THAT AS AN APOLOGY?
LOOK, I'M SORRY.
I SHOULDN'T HAVE MADE THOSE JOKES TO TOBY
ABOUT OUR SEX LIFE.
YOU SHOULD NEVER HAVE TOLD HIM ABOUT OUR SEX LIFE, PERIOD.
IT WAS STUPID.
I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU'RE MAKING SUCH A BIG DEAL OUT OF THIS?
BECAUSE YOU TALK WITHOUT THINKING.
YOU'RE IMMATURE. YOU'RE A CLOWN.
YOU TREAT ME LIKE A KID, OKAY?
YOU BOSS ME AROUND
AND YOU WOULDN'T EVEN LET ME AUDITION
FOR THE VIDEO ANNOUNCEMENTS. YOU DECIDE EVERYTHING.
GROW UP, JT.
JT: RESPECT ME, LIBERTY.
OKAY AND THEN MAYBE WE CAN MAKE A DECISION TOGETHER FOR ONCE.
LIBERTY: WE DID.
LAST SUMMER, REMEMBER?
WHEN WE DECIDED TO USE THE KING SIZE CONDOM?
THE ONE THAT SLIPPED OFF?
I'M PREGNANT.
JT!
[LOUD CRASH, GLASS SHATTERS]
PASSERBYS: ARE YOU OKAY?
[INDISTINCT COMMENTS OF CONCERN]
JT: OH MY GOD!
WHAT... WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?
HATZILAKOS: WHAT HAPPENED? ARE YOU OKAY?
WE'RE FINE.
A DOG RAN ONTO THE ROAD.
JT SWERVED.
HE DID EVERYTHING HE COULD.
HATZILAKOS: WELL, YEAH... ACCIDENTS WILL HAPPEN.
WHY DON'T YOU GO INSIDE? I'LL TALK TO THE POLICE.
I'M JUST GLAD YOU'RE OKAY.
SIMPSON: SO, WHAT DRAWS US TO SOME ADVERTISING AND NOT TO OTHERS?
IS IT THE LOOK?
THE HOOK? OR IS IT...?
OKAY. [CLAPS]
PEEPERS UP FRONT, PEOPLE.
IT'S TIME TO PARTNER UP.
LIBERTY AND JT, NICE OF YOU TO JOIN US.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU KNOWN?
A WHILE.
A WHILE? WHAT'S A WHILE?
DAYS? WEEKS?
TRY MONTHS.
THREE.
LIBERTY.
I DON'T WANT TO BE PREGNANT,
OKAY?
MORNING AFTER MORNING I WAKE UP AND GUESS WHAT?
I STILL AM.
WELL, UH, WHAT ABOUT A...
AN ABORTION?
I DON'T EVEN WANT TO THINK ABOUT THAT,
LET ALONE TALK ABOUT IT.
AND ARE YOU SURE THAT YOU'RE REALLY PREGNANT?
DO YOU NEED PROOF?
FINE. GO BUY A PREGNANCY TEST.
YOU HAVEN'T DONE ONE?
A WOMAN JUST KNOWS, JT.
THERE ARE A VAST MULTITUDE OF SIGNS.
INCLUDING FREQUENT URINATION. MR. SIMPSON?
IS THIS SEAT TAKEN?
NO.
YOU WERE AWFULLY SPLITSVILLE LAST NIGHT.
DIDN'T LIKE THE CLUB?
IT WAS CHRISTIAN.
SO? I JOINED A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO.
IT'S FUN.
GUESS I'M NOT INTO THE...
JOINED-HANDS-GROUP-PRAYER VARIETY OF FUN.
RIGHT, 'CAUSE THAT'S ALL I DO.
JUST BECAUSE I'M CHRISTIAN
DOESN'T MEAN I WON'T CREAM YOU IN LASER TAG.
OOH, LASER TAG. WHAT A PARTY.
UM, WHAT ELSE DO YOU DO? WEENIE ROASTS?
I LIKE HORROR MOVIES, MAKE FART JOKES,
WATCH THE OCCASIONAL ULTIMATE FIGHTING CHALLENGE.
YOU'RE ALLOWED TO DO THAT?
YES.
I'M NOT IN SOME CULT, SPINNER.
I DO PRETTY MUCH ANYTHING I WANT.
UM, ARE YOU ALLOWED TO DRINK COFFEE?
LIKE, SAY, TONIGHT, AT THE DOT?
[BABY CRIES OUT]
[BABY SQUEALS]
SHE IN THERE AGAIN?
GET COMFORTABLE. SHE'S GONNA BE AWHILE.
PROBABLY ALL BUNGED UP.
YOU ARE AN IGNORANT LITTLE PUKE!
YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT LIBERTY, OKAY?
SO JUST TAKE MY ADVICE, AND GET LOST!
MAN, YOU GOT ISSUES.
[TOILET FLUSHES]
IT'S POSITIVE?
TOBY: YOU MISSED IT!
HEATHER SINCLAIR AUDITIONED WITH A DANGLER.
SHE HAD A BOOG HANGING FROM A NOSE HAIR!
YOU OKAY ENOUGH TO DO THIS?
YEAH, IT'S MINE.
ALRIGHTY.
SO UM... I'LL POINT TO YOU
AND THAT'S WHEN YOU START.
HELLO, I'M, JT YORKE WITH YOUR MORNING ANNOUNCEMENTS.
I... UM... OKAY.
GOOD MORNING.
CONGRATS TO OUR SENIOR GIRLS RELAY TEAM,
WHO KNOCKED UP-
[NERVOUS LAUGH] UH... WHO KNOCKED OFF...
RIVAL CARSON HILL,
AND ARE NOW GUARANTEED A BERTH...
UM... A BERTH IN...
I'M GONNA BE SICK.
TOBY: OKAY. UH... NEXT?
THAT WENT GREAT.
I'LL JUST HAVE TO NOTIFY HEATHER SINCLAIR
SHE HAS THE JOB.
I CAN DO BETTER, OKAY?
I TOLD YOU NOT TO AUDITION.
ENTERTAINMENT IS NOT A PRACTICAL CAREER PATH FOR YOU.
WILL YOU STOP?
JUST STOP TRYING TO CONTROL ME - PLEASE.
FINE, I'LL FOCUS ON CONTROLLING OTHER THINGS.
LIKE MY VOMITING.
LIBERTY?
WE NEED TO GET YOU A DOCTOR, AND GET YOU CHECKED OUT.
ACTUALLY, I'LL TAKE CARE OF THAT.
MEDICAL CONCERNS, TELLING PARENTS,
ALL THE PRACTICAL DETAILS.
WHILE I JUST STAND AROUND AND WATCH?
JT: THE CANYON HOPPER XT.
IT'S AMAZING IT STILL WORKS.
TOBY: YEAH. I FOUND IT CLEANING OUT THE GARAGE.
TECHNICALLY IT'S HALF YOURS.
YEAH WELL, WE SOLD A LOT OF GOLF BALLS.
TOBES?
LIBERTY'S PREGNANT.
WOW.
YEAH.
OKAY. OKAY, UM...
THEY HAVE- THEY HAVE SUPPORT GROUPS, RIGHT?
AND UH...
YOU CAN TALK TO MISS SAUVE AT SCHOOL AND...
AND TELL YOUR PARENTS.
ACTUALLY, THERE'S A BIGGER PROBLEM.
A BIGGER PROBLEM THAN LIBERTY BEING PREGNANT?
YEAH, HER.
LIBERTY.
EVERYTHING SHE USED TO LIKE ABOUT ME?
SHE NOW HATES.
I MEAN, SHE TREATS ME LIKE CRAP, TOBES.
UM... JUST TALK TO HER.
TELL HER TO QUIT IT.
DOESN'T WORK. NOTHING WORKS.
WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?
CORNER TABLE. NICE.
YEAH, IT'S ONE OF THE PERKS OF WORKING HERE.
HERE. MADE SOMETHING FOR YOU.
HMM. GREEN DAY, MISSY E.,
UH... ARCADE FIRE?
COOL. NOT WHAT I EXPECTED.
YOUR TURN.
TELL ME SOMETHING ABOUT YOURSELF
THAT I WOULDN'T EXPECT.
ALL RIGHT.
THIS GOES RIGHT IN THE VAULT, RIGHT?
YOU KNOW THOSE LITTLE MR. HANDSOME CONTESTS?
BEAUTY PAGEANTS FOR BOYS?
YOU ARE LOOKING AT LITTLE MR. HANDSOME,
AGE FOUR THROUGH SIX.
[LAUGHS]
SO, WHAT HAPPENED AFTER SIX?
GOT UGLY, I GUESS.
[LAUGHS]
JIMMY: JUST A HEADS UP?
YOU SHOULD BE CAREFUL WITH THIS GUY.
HE'S DANGEROUS, YOU KNOW.
JIMMY-
HE TENDS TO GET PEOPLE SHOT.
THAT'S NO GOOD.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT HE TOLD YOU BUT...
I DOUBT IT'S THE TRUTH.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
I'M GOING TO ASK YOU THIS:
CAN I DO THE MORNING ANNOUNCEMENTS?
NO.
OKAY. I'M GONNA ASK AGAIN.
JT, WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT THIS.
LIBERTY, IF WE CAN'T TALK ABOUT THIS,
THEN HOW ARE WE GONNA DEAL WITH THE FACT THAT YOU'RE PREGNANT?
WE'RE NOT; I AM.
OH, THAT'S GOOD TO KNOW.
JUST LIKE YOU TO MAKE A JOKE.
THAT'S WHAT YOU USED TO LIKE ABOUT ME, REMEMBER?
IS THAT I MAKE JOKES?
YEAH, WELL, EVERYTHING'S CHANGED.
I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR JOKES.
THIS IS SERIOUS.
I CAN'T TRUST YOU TO DEAL WITH THIS.
FINE.
THEN I CAN'T DEAL WITH YOU.
THAT'S IT, LIBERTY. I'M DONE.
YOU'RE BREAKING UP WITH ME?
NOW?
LOOK, WHATEVER YOU HAVE TO SAY,
I'VE HEARD IT ALL BEFORE, OKAY? SO...
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BOTHER.
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THE WHOLE STORY?
SPINNER: BECAUSE...
JIMMY WAS MY BEST FRIEND.
I BASICALLY CUT HIS LEGS OFF.
I DON'T LIKE TO BROADCAST THAT.
YOU DIDN'T SHOOT HIM.
NO, BUT I MIGHT AS WELL HAVE.
IT WAS TOTALLY MY FAULT.
I KEEP TRYING TO TALK TO HIM BUT...
YOU CAN'T MAKE JIMMY FORGIVE YOU,
ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVEN'T FORGIVEN YOURSELF.
YEAH, I GET IT. FRIENDSHIP CLUB.
RIGHT? BLAH BLAH BLAH.
NO, I'M TALKING ABOUT YOU.
BECAUSE I LIKE YOU.
HERE...
IF YOU STILL WANT TO GET TO KNOW ME BETTER.
LIBERTY?
I GOT A JOB... AT A DRUG STORE.
YOU DID?
SO NOT ONLY WILL I BE ABLE TO SHARE THE COSTS,
BUT WHEN THE BABY COMES,
I'LL GET A PRETTY GOOD DISCOUNT ON DIAPERS, TOO.
WHY DID YOU DO THAT?
BECAUSE...
I WANT TO HELP.
AND IT'S THE ONLY WAY I KNOW HOW.
AND I DIDN'T NEED YOUR PERMISSION.
THAT WAS A PLUS, TOO.
WE'RE NOT BACK TOGETHER.
I KNOW.
BUT I'M NOT GONNA ABANDON YOU,
AND I'M NOT GONNA ABANDON THIS BABY.
I'VE NEVER-
