Principal:
And if you can't play a sport,
be one.

Thank you.

This guy, norman,
he won't make it.

Shane:
See you after
school tonight?

Be there, or be square.

B.L.T.:
Hey, you guys,
basketball tryouts.

Lend me
your pen.

Me, too.

I can't wait for
basketball season.

I hope I make the team.

Don't worry
about it.

I wish I was as good
as my brother.

Wasn't he captain
of the basketball team?

Yup, and the football
and the debating teams

And he was
class valedictorian.

Now he's in med school
on scholarship

And he's a nice guy.

Are you sure
you guys are related?

That's a good one,
guys.

You should be comedians.

Garcia:
Please shake hands
with only four others

And then be seated.

Remember, only four others

And then be seated.

Okay, now I'd like you
to check your cards.

Who has a letter "a"
on their card?

Please stand.

Archie, I'm afraid I have

Some bad news.

You have aids.

Everyone who shook hands
with archie

Please stand up.

You have come into contact
with someone

Who has aids.

The rest of you,
if you shook hands

With any of these people,
would you please stand.

You may have been exposed
to the aids virus as well.

Please be seated.

Who has a card

With the letter "c"?

Please stand.

Okay, you three
used condoms

When you had sexual contact.

You were smart.

You protected yourself
and others

From the aids virus.

Please be seated.

This is only an exercise...

I didn't know

You could get aids
from shaking hands.

Simon, you can't.

That was just an exercise.

Simon:
Oh.

Shane:
Hey, snake--

Too bad you gave
everyone aids.

You're a h*m*!

A boy must
keep his secrets.

Why? Can't
kiss and tell?

Hi, fella.

You're not my type.

Oh, stop it.

You make
a beautiful couple.

We should
get together.

So I hear heterosexuals
can get aids, too.

Yes.

Garcia:
Rehearsing for
something, fellows?

Let's go put on
some makeup, boys.

Why is garcia
teaching us
about aids?

I know,
he's a math teacher.

Maybe it has to do
with multiplication.

Principal:
Doris bell would like to speak
with both alex and glen

And pete riley,
as soon as possible.

Hi.

L.D., I'm sorry

About not inviting
you guys to my party.

I was dumb, but can't
we be friends again?

I wouldn't want
to come between you

And your boyfriend.

I told you, he's not
my boyfriend anymore.

Why? Didn't he respect
you in the morning?

Spike, come on,
the zit remedy--
two bucks!

You can't get
a better deal.

Hey, girls, you want
a zit remedy tape?

Two bucks.

I don't have any
money right now.

Maybe another time?

Yeah, sure.

Caitlin, hi!

And might I add

You look extremely
beautiful today.

Hey, snake!

I'm going to cra-z
radio station

To let them
hear the tape.

You want to come?

I'm going to go
play basketball.

Joey:
That's more important
than the zit remedy?

Man, I can't believe this.

Wheels hardly comes
to school anymore.

You want to
play basketball.

I have to do this all myself.

Cra-z is a real
radio station.

They won't listen.

Sure they will.

No, they won't.

We're kids.

B.L.T.:
They'll give you
the runaround--

Don't call us;

We'll call you.

Joey jeremiah
will not be denied.

Believe it!

You'll thank me
when we're famous, snake!

Wait up, guys.

The man is a dreamer.

I can't believe
all the homework
we're getting.

I'll never
get it done.

You're rich.

Pay somebody
to do it for you.

Arthur:
Very funny.

Yick:
I'm serious.

Go ahead, ask him.

Yick:
There must be some
brains in this school.

Maybe.

Yes?

Is it true you're rich?

No, it's just a rumor.

Bye.

Have you told people?

No.

How do they know?

Your cousin says
he isn't rich.

I knew it.

Me, too.

But he is.

Arthur:
Right.

Yick:
Maybe it's dorothy.

I don't think so.

It sure wasn't me.

Woman:
Yes, sir.

Well, it's not
that easy, sir.

Uh-huh, I see.

Excuse me.

Well...

I'm doing it right now.

Hi, you're here for the job?

Job?

No, I'm here to see
the program manager.

Oh, I see.

In regards to...

I'm joey jeremiah.

You've probably heard of
my band, the zit remedy.

No, I haven't.

And our program manager
is in a meeting

Right now.

Leave the tape with me.

He'll get it.

I'll wait.

He'll be a while.

That's okay.

I know he wants to hear this.

Announcer:
...On cra-z radio.

Receptionist:
Cra-z radio.

Go!

Come on, snakey.

Go for it, shane.

B.L.T., get the ball!

That's too lucky.

Get the ball.

Simon, it's a sh*t!

Hey, no contact.

Watch out,
snake's got aids.

Man, I touched
all of you.

All right!

Got it!

Good sh*t!

Guys, I got to go.

What for?

Simon!

Simon:
I got to go.

How you doing, little brother?

Glen?

What are you doing here?

I just thought
I'd stop by for a visit.

Guys, this is
my brother, glen.

Shane:
How's it going?

Good to
see you.

Hi.

You're pretty good.

Thanks.

We hear
you're not bad.

Whoa.

Lucky sh*t.

Right.

Want a ride home?

That would be great.

Bye, guys.

See you, snake.

How long are
you staying?

A couple of days.

Did you see how
easy he did that?

I know, and he's got
a set of wheels, man.

Let's go, come on!

How are mom and dad?

Good.

They won't believe

You're here.

So, why aren't you
in school?

Don't you have classes?

Classes got canceled
for a couple of days.

You haven't dropped out

Have you?

No, I like meds

And my marks are just fine.

Oh, I know--
you're getting married, right?

I should have guessed.

No.

No? Too bad.

Mom can't wait

To have grandchildren.

So how's school?

Good-- boring...

Oh, I'm trying out
for the basketball team.

While you're here

You've got
to coach me-- please?

Good to see you,
little brother.

Good to see you, too.

They sure do
look alike.

B.L.T.:
Yeah...

But snake's ugly.

Yeah!

Boys, let's go!

Oh, mom's home.

She's going to be
so surprised.

Wait.

What?

Classes weren't
canceled.

That's not
why I'm home.

Yeah?

The reason
I came home

Is to tell
mom and dad and you

I'm moving out
of the dorm.

Yeah?

Yeah--

Into a nice apartment
with a good friend.

We have so much
in common.

And there's a lot
of things we want
to do together--

Someone I care for

Very much.

Sure.

Oh, I get it.

You're moving in with some girl

Right?

No, it's a guy.

His name's greg.

So?

He's gay.

Why are you
living with
one of those?

I'm gay, too.

You're joking, right?

I hope you can understand.

Glen,
why are you here?

You're supposed to
be in med school.

Hi, mom.

Mom:
What about med school?

I thought I'd stop by
for a couple of days.

Mom:
My, don't you
look great!

Some girl been
looking after you?

Let's go call
your father.

Announcer:
You're with easy eddy
on cra-z-- crazy radio.

Good night,
cindi.

Cindi:
Good night.

Good night, cindi.

Good night.

I'm afraid

You'll have to leave.

I don't mind waiting.

Yeah

But I'm going home.

Leave the tape with me.

That's okay.

I'll come back tomorrow.

Our program manager
is very busy tomorrow.

That's okay,
I got lots of time.

It's been nice
waiting here.

Nice chair.

Good morning.

Good morning.

You're up early.

I have school.

I've got stuff to do.

Listen--

This isn't easy
for any of us.

I tried to tell
them last night

But I couldn't--
not after the way
you reacted.

Right, like it's my fault.

Couldn't you
have kept it a secret?

Why did you tell me?

I love you.

I wanted you
to know who I am.

Yick:
So did you finish
your homework?

Yeah, just barely.

But it was easy.

I know, but so
many questions,
over and over.

Excuse me,
we would like to know

Are you rich?

No, I'm not rich.

Now, go away.

Leave me alone.

Why do these little kids
keep asking me that?

Arthur, what's wrong
with people finding out?

Plenty, like kidnappers.

Arthur.

Yick, I could
be walking along

And this big black car

Pulls up beside me.

They grab me, pull me in

Tie me up and blindfold me.

You watch too much tv.

No, yick, I mean it.

It's not
just kidnappers.

It's encyclopedia
salesmen--

People who want
to borrow money...

Once you're rich,
they never stop
bugging you.

Attention, students--

This is your principal,
mr. Lawrence, speaking.

Our thought for the day
is brotherhood.

Despite all our
in-house squabbles

It keeps the family of mankind
living under the same roof.

Shane:
Hey, snake.

B.L.T.:
Your brother's
one cool dude, man.

Yeah, great jeep.


He must pick up
great chicks.

Could you ask him
to play basketball
with us sometime?

No.

What do you mean,
no?

I said no--
I'm not asking him.

All right.

Fine.

What's his problem?

I don't know.

Hey, joey.

Jeremiah!
So, you famous yet?

Both:
"joey jeremiah
will not be denied."

As it so happens,
they were very interested.

As a matter of fact

I'm going back there
today after school

For a meeting.

Now, if you'll
excuse me

I'm a very busy guy.

Do you believe him?

Nah-- you?

No.

He's got a voice
like a bullfrog.

Garcia:
As you can see
by this diagram

After only four contacts

Hundreds of people
could be infected.

There are two ways to protect
yourself from the aids virus.

The first and most effective way
is abstinence.

The second is the use
of a condom.

Do you have
any questions?

Erica.

If prostitutes and
h*m* get aids

Why should we worry?

You remember our experiment--

Snake had the aids card

And quickly infected
the entire class.

Heather.

What about blood transfusions?

Is that how some people got it?

All donated blood is tested now.

Hopefully that can't
happen again.

What if a mosquito bit
someone who had aids

And then bit you?

Insects do not spread
the aids virus.

Lucy?

Why are you
teaching this?

You're
the math teacher.

Aids education is not part
of the curriculum yet.

I volunteered.

Okay, we'll finish

This aids discussion tomorrow.

Girl:
What's abstinence?

Other girl:
That's when you
don't do it.

Simon:
It's scary to think
anyone can get aids.

I'm so bored
with aids.

B.L.T.:
Me, too.

Not snake, though--
he's got it.

Very funny.

( lisping ):
My name is snake.

Leave me alone!

Cool it!

What's wrong?
Can't take it?

What's your problem?

What's your problem?

Shane:
Guys, stop it.

What's going on

Out here?

Shane and snake:
Nothing.

Liz:
Who started
the fight?

Spike:
I think snake did.

No fighting, understand?

Yes, sir.

It was just
a joke, man.

Forget about it.

Something bothering you today?

Anything you want
to talk about?

No.

Okay, if you decide

You want
to talk to me

You know
where I am, okay?

Students are reminded
to come out and cheer

For our athletes

To make sure that athletes
from degrassi junior high

Remain number one,
second to none.

Yick:
We're not getting that
much homework anymore.

Yeah, I've been
surprised, actually.

I think raditch
must be sick.

Yeah, and all
the other teachers.

Well, bye.

Okay, see you.

Arthur?

Buzz off!

Why do you keep lying
about being rich?

Shh...

I bet everyone

You were rich.

You say you aren't.

Now I owe them $20.

All your savings?

I'm not rich like you.

Now I'll have nothing.

Dorothy, look--

If you promise

You'll never ever tell
anyone I'm rich again

I'll give you the $20.

Uh, I bet a little more
than $20.

Okay, fine-- $25.

Uh, I forgot about max.

Dorothy, don't push it.

Okay, okay.

Cash?

I'll bring it tomorrow.

But no more telling people
I'm rich-- promise?

Promise.

Lucy:
L.D....

L.D., come on!

Hey, lucy!

Your boyfriend's calling.

You better run.

I told you,
we split up.

Aw, and you were
just getting started.

Nothing happened at my party.

Everyone knows
your little secret.

Fine, you don't believe me?

Let's ask him.

Do you want to know

Or not?

Hi, lucy.

I missed you.

Did we have sex?

What?

At my party

Did we have sex?

We had a good time.

Did we or did we not have sex?

Tell me to my face.

See?

Lucy.

Come on,
let's go.

L.D.:
Lucy

I'm sorry.

I tried to tell you.

Cindi:
Yes, sir.

I know the ad went
in the paper.

I saw it myself.

No, not yet.

Well, there don't
seem to be many
students interested

In part-time
janitorial work.

I'll hire the first kid
who applies.

He's in a meeting.

That's okay, I'll wait.

Joey.

He won't see you.

Why not?

He can't see everyone
who comes in.

But I'm not everyone.

This is good.

Then leave it with me.

But I told everybody...

Man, he has to hear it.

Look, there's
that job, right

For a student,
a janitor...

It's part-time, yeah.

I love to empty garbage--

Especially the program
manager's garbage.

I'll work hard,
I promise.

It's the ground floor
to the music biz.

Please?

Okay, I'll ask.

All right!

Thanks a lot.

Snake:
Glen.

I told them.

Well?

I don't exist anymore.

You're their only son now.

Mom and dad said that?

Glen...

I'm sorry for the way I acted.

But it's weird, you know?

I know.

I'm not going to be
like you, am I?

I mean, we're related.

Relax.

Just because I'm gay

Doesn't mean that
you're going to be.

It just doesn't
work that way.

I better be going.

So when are you coming back?

When I'm welcome.
