02x04 - Dinner & a Show

Post by bunniefuu »

We're very proud of you.

No, you've worked hard
for this promotion.

Oh, your mother and I are fine.

We're still very upset about
your brother shane, though.

Such a mess, getting
that girl pregnant.

Mother's heartbroken.

She daren't face
her bridge club.

We're sending him
to private school--

He doesn't want to go.

You know how stubborn he is.

But he's going.

♪ wake up in the morning,
feeling shy and lonely ♪

♪ gee, I got to go to school ♪

♪ I don't think I can make it,
don't think I can take it ♪

♪ I'm wondering
what I'm going to do ♪

♪ but when I look
around, I see ♪

♪ that someone is
smiling right at me ♪

♪ wait! ♪

♪ that someone's talking to me ♪

♪ hey! I've got a new friend. ♪

♪ everybody can succeed ♪

♪ all you need is to believe ♪

♪ be honest with yourself ♪

♪ forget your fears and doubts ♪

♪ come on, give us a try ♪

♪ at degrassi junior high. ♪

But I don't understand
how you decide...

Just ask her.

She said yes
the last time.

But this is
different.

She's right there.

Come on.

Later.

Look at shane.

What a creep.

It's easy
for him.

He doesn't have
to do anything.

I bet he doesn't
even feel guilty.

Hi, daddy.

Kathleen, that wasn't very nice.

Getting spike pregnant
wasn't exactly nice either.

And here comes mommy.

Will you drop by
after school--

Help me clean up?

Mom-- it feels weird.

Like there's butterflies
in there.

That's the baby
turning.

It's normal to feel
the baby turn around

This time in
your pregnancy.

Don't be scared.

I better go, or I'll be late.

Okay.

Christine-- did you
have breakfast?

No time-- anyways,
I don't like breakfast.

It's not what you like.

It's what you need,
christine.

You're pregnant.

If you don't
eat properly

You'll harm yourself,
and the baby.

Mom, I can take care
of myself, okay?

Hey, spike.

Hi.

Mr. Lawrence:
...Before today's classes begin.

Melanie:
Why not your house?

This isn't
a good week.

My mum's
really busy.

Your mum's
always busy.

Melanie?

Will you go to a movie
with me tomorrow?

A movie?

Sure.

I'll have to ask my mom,
but she'll say yes.

Great-- how about
revenge of the reptiles?

I heard it's
really good.

Reptiles?

Not my style.

I hear crying in the wind
is decent.

Crying in the wind?

Yeah.

Sure, I'll find out the time.

We'll talk tomorrow, okay?

Okay.

Well, well,
melanie gets
a date.

It's not a date,
it's just yick.

You had fun
skating together.

We're friends,
that's all.

He's just a boy.

I'm ready for a man.

Hi, snake.

Hi, melanie.

Tryouts for the tv quiz show
quest for the best...

And that's a man.

That melanie
likes you, man.

You think so?

Really?

Uh-oh.

This guy is irresistible
to chicks.

Little chicks,
that is.

He's got to start
somewhere.

Melanie-- is she hot,
or what?

Those braces
sure turn me on.

I kind of like her.

She's got a nice smile.

Snake, she's only
in grade seven.

Why don't you
ask her out?

You can play skip-rope.

Oh, very
funny.

Hi, liz.

Joey--

What did you do to her?

Didn't she want
to play skip-rope?

Hey, no jokes about liz.

And one final announcement:

Our thought for the day
is friendship.

Remember, on the stormy seas
of life, it's the one ship...

Hi.

Hi.

...That keeps us all afloat.

My dad still wants
everyone to meet.

He's inviting
you and your mom

For dinner
tomorrow.

Why?

Meeting won't change anything.

You wanted me to tell them.

What did you think
would happen?

Please? Just ask your mum.

Sure, but it's a waste of time.

My mum will say no.

Just like the other times
your dad's invited us.

Just try.

Okay--

Okay!

Arthur, I asked her!

All right! Revenge
of the reptiles?

Uh... No--
crying in the wind.

Crying in the wind?

Yick, that's a love story.

What's wrong
with revenge of
the reptiles?

She doesn't want
to see it.

Anyways, who cares
about the dumb movie?

Sure, but...

Crying in
the wind?

...Really nervous.

I would
be, too.

Ms. Avery:
Morning!

Let's get started.

Mr. Raditch:
"but wherefore did you
so much tempt the heavens?

"it is the part of men
to fear and tremble

"when the most mighty
gods by tokens

Send such dreadful
heralds to astonish us."

All right, we'll take it from
here tomorrow-- off you go.

Want to go play video games?

I can't--

Miss avery's
tutoring me.

How much longer
will this go on?

Until my marks
improve.

That could take
forever.

See you guys
later.

See you, wheels.

Still available...

Coming, snake?

Uh...

There's something
I want to do.

I'll see you tomorrow.

...Two dollars off
the regular price.

Oh, I can't.

I have my
counseling course.

Skip it for once.

No, it helps a lot.

Maybe on the weekend.

Spike?

You'll talk to your mum?

Yes!

Leave me alone.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

I can't believe

She gave us
that assignment.

Hi.

Hi, snake.

So-- I'll see you
later, kathleen?

But I thought we were
going to study.

Later.

Oh-- right.

Bye.

So...

So...

So, you want to go
to a movie?

Sure!

I mean, maybe.

Which movie?

Oh, I hear revenge
of the reptiles

Is fabulous.

Me, too.

So, how about
tomorrow night?

Tomorrow?

Friday.

I wonder if I...

Nothing.

Nothing, sure.

Great!

Great!

Great.

Great.

He invited me
to a movie.

You're kidding.

No-- revenge
of the reptiles

Tomorrow night.

But you didn't
want to see that.

Who cares about
the dumb movie?

And you're going out
with yick.

No, I'm not.

Snake's an older man--
he's in grade eight.

This is
so decent!

Please.

Hello, is yick there,
please?

I still think
this is unfair.

Yick did
ask first.

Kathleen, don't be
so boring.

Yick:
Hello.

Hi, yick?

Yes.

It's melanie.

My parents said
I can't go tomorrow night.

Yeah.

Sorry.

Okay.

Okay.

Bye.

So, what
did he say?

He was kind of
disappointed

But what he doesn't know
won't hurt him-- right?

Kathleen!

Hi, mom.

Hi, honey.

Grab a broom.

I got a call from
that boy's father today.

Shane's dad?

What was he
calling about?

They want us to come
for dinner tomorrow.

Discuss things.

It's about time

They did something
like this.

You mean, you said yes?

It's going to be
so embarrassing.

Anyway, I can't go tomorrow.

I'm going out with liz.

You can certainly
cancel that, christine.

I think this dinner is rather
more important, don't you?

They wanted us
to go to their house.

Not on
your life.

We'll pay our own way
at a restaurant--

Thank you
very much.

Curious, though--

He said he's
invited us before;

Sent a message
through the boy.

You don't know anything
about that, do you?

No.

The boy probably didn't
pass on the message.

Typical male.

See you later.

Bye.

I don't want to go
to private school.

Your brothers both
enjoyed strathcona.

I'm not like them.

Maybe it's time
you started trying to be.

It will be good
for you to get away.

You can concentrate
on your studies.

I want to help
when the baby is born.

The baby's going straight up
for adoption.

You're not even
going to see it.

What if it doesn't
go up for adoption?

Now, listen to me,
young man--

You've done enough damage.

Okay, that's it for this week.

We'll see you
Monday.

I'd be worried about
that movie if I were you.

I hear it's
really scary.

Who cares about
the dumb movie?

What if snake tries
to kiss me?

He'll be mad
if I don't let him.

But he'll think
I'm easy, if I do.

But I hope
he tries.

Have a nice weekend,
melanie.

Thanks, yick, you too.

You understand, don't you?

I had to say no to yick.

It still seems wrong to me.

Would nurse silver please report
to the principal's office?

Life is so unfair.

What's wrong with
melanie's parents?

What did they think
I was going to do?

At least you don't have
to see crying in the wind.

Yeah, I guess.

What are you
doing tonight?

Nothing.

Want to go see revenge
of the reptiles?

Yeah, sure.

I hear it's
really gory.

Great.

Revenge of
the reptiles?

That's
a guys' movie.

She said she wanted
to see it.

Couldn't you
have waited

Till you found
a chick your own age?

She's only
a year younger.

It's still
cradle-snatching.

Guys-- I like her,
okay?

Anyway, what's
the matter?

Jealous?

Jealous? Us?

Of what?

I've got a date.

What are you guys
doing tonight?

We're... Going
to play video games.

Right, and have fun.

A lot
of fun.

Bye, guys.

We always play
video games.

So what do you
want to do?

We could go
see a movie.

Both:
Revenge of the reptiles!

Spike!

Hi.


Hi.

Nervous
about tonight?

Yeah.

Don't worry, we won't
let them push us around.

Do you ever think about
keeping the baby?

What?

Seriously.

Wouldn't it be neat
to have a little baby?

Shane, I'm a kid,
not somebody's mother.

You shouldn't drink
that stuff.

It's bad for the baby.

Mind your own business.

It is my business.

It's my baby, too.

Right-- it's so easy
for you boys.

You don't have to
go to counseling.

You don't have to
be responsible.

See you tonight.

How do I look?

Fine.

Mum--

Shane told me about
his father inviting us

Those other times.

Christine, why
didn't you tell me?

I was scared.

I don't want
to meet them.

What will they
think of me?

Who cares what
other people think?

I do, I can't help it.

How come you're
telling me now?

I thought it might
come up at dinner.

I'd rather you
get mad at me here.

Don't worry.

We'll knock them dead--
you and me together.

We could get
some popcorn.

Okay.

This is going
to be good.

Um... Where do
you want to sit?

I like the back.

Really? I like
the front.

I like
the front, too.

I like the back
and the front.

Uh... Right.

There they go--
quick!

Uh... Excuse us.

Come on.

Okay.

Is this okay?

It's fine.

Over there.

Okay.

Good popcorn.

Mm-hmm.

Hey!

What a
coincidence!

Wheels, look
who's here.

How's it
going?

How you doing?

Having fun
on your date?

I don't see why
we had to come here.

I could have cooked
a perfectly good meal.

Father:
I'm sure this
will be fine.

There they are.

Ms. Nelson?

I'm steven mckay.

How do you do?

My wife,
mary.

How do you do?

Hello.

And you must
be spike.

Her name is
christine.

Yes-- yes,
of course.

Christine.

Won't you
sit down?

Would you like
a drink?

Thank you.

I'll have
a bailey's on ice--

On a separate check,
please.

You know, ms. Nelson,
as a minister

I have professional
experience

In matters like this.

Emotions tend
to run high.

I know it's
never easy

But I'm sure we're all
going to handle this

Very reasonably.

Come on,
snake--

Give her
a kissy-whissy.

Guys, would you lay off?!

Hey, come on-- we're
just practicing

In case we get
dates someday.

Give me
a kiss.

Ha, ha...

What's
the problem?

Why aren't
you playing
arcade games?

We didn't
want to.

What's the matter?

Um... I dropped something.

But you can't get into
the movie back there.

Sure you can.

Okay, you sit here
and I'll sit up front.

Wait up, I'm coming.

What's wrong--

Your girlfriend's
crying now?

Excuse me.

You okay?

I'm fine,
I'm just fine.

Hi, snake.

Hi, yick.

Melanie?

Hi, yick.

I can recommend
a good home

Where your daughter can
stay until afterwards.

I don't want
to go away.

You're not going to.

Christine is
staying with me.

Ms. Nelson,
it's sometimes

In the young person's
best interest

To get away.

People can
be cruel.

It's sometimes best
for the young person

To stay
at home.

I'm not going
to send her away

Like she's
committed
a crime.

Well, shane's agreed
to go away to private school.

No, I haven't.

We've been through all this.

But you never listen to me.

You've always taught me
to do what's right.

That's what I'm trying to do.

And getting her pregnant
proved that?

We're only trying to do
what's best for you.

You're trying to do
what's best for you.

You want me
to go away

Because I
embarrass you.

So mom can play
bridge again.

I'm sorry I'm not
perfect, like carl.

No one said that.

That's what you think.

I know I made a mistake,
but give me a chance.

Let me keep the baby.

Let me
show you.

You'll be
proud of me.

So, how was
your big date?

Okay.

What do you mean "okay"?

Didn't you have
a good time?

We didn't have
a lot to talk about.

Hi, yick.

What was that
all about?

Kathleen, I hate myself, okay?

Hi, shane.

Hi.

Hi.

Sorry about Friday.

Do you really want the baby?

I don't know.

I have to get counseling.

My parents aren't bugging me
so much about private school.

Really?

They still want me to go

But at least they'll
listen to me now.

That's good.

You know--

It's not as easy being a guy
as people think.
