Girl:
I could eat
a pizza

By myself right now.

Caitlin:
Get a small one.

Do they have
small pizzas?

Yeah,
they're great.

All right.

Melanie!

Tah-dah!

No more braces.

All right!

The new, improved melanie brody
is ready for action.

Hi, caitlin.

Melanie:
Snake.

Just admit
you still like him.

He obviously
still likes you.

Hi.

Hi.

Hey, wow,
your braces are off!

It's fantastic!

Let's celebrate.

Cokes, pizzas,
whatever you want.

It's all on me.

Everybody:
All right!

Class dismissed.

That was boring.

Tell me about it.

So thanks
for treating.

My mom was so mad
that I spent all that money.

It was $20.

Yeah, but
it's my money.

Are you going

To the
gourmet scum
concert?

Tickets go on sale
this weekend.

I hate the gourmet scum.

Me, too.

They're great.

I couldn't go
even if I wanted to.

I am totally broke.

Hi, kathleen.

How are you?

None of your business.

Caitlin:
How's she doing?

I don't know.

I did see her eat
lunch yesterday.

See you guys
outside.

Bye.

The gourmet scum
concert?!

Principal:
The music department
has announced...

Simon:
So what's this scum
stuff all about?

Alexa:
It's a group, simon.

Oh, hi.

Did I tell you how beautiful
you both look today?

We don't talk
to eighth graders.

Neither do I.

Do you want

To get together
for a milk shake?

We'll use
three straws.

Give it a rest.

Joey jeremiah--
mr. Studly.

They're just playing
hard to get, man.

Chicks are crazy
about me.

When was your last date?

With my charisma,
you have to be selective.

Nah-- you've got
to be defective.

Oh, very funny.

$20 says you can't
get a date for Friday.

Me? Please!

Twenty bucks.

Are you chicken?

Okay, you're on.

Easiest $20
I'll ever make.

That last announcement
should have been

For three tuba players.

Snake, listen.

B.L.T. Bet me $20

That I couldn't get
a date for Friday night.

What a joke!

Friday? You're
lining up with us

To get gourmet scum
tickets.

Oh, man, I forgot.

I can't back out
of a bet.

You going to ask caitlin?

Yeah, I wish.

So will you get me the ticket?

Oh, they only let you
buy two tickets each.

One, two...
What's the problem?

Well, I was sort of thinking
of bringing a friend.

Here she comes.

Get lost.

I want to watch.

Joey, get lost!

Okay, okay--
no sense of humor.

My parents
wouldn't let me
go to a concert.

They're scared
I'll get
corrupted.

Melanie?

Hi, snake.

Um... I was wondering if, um...

If you were going

To the, uh, gourmet scum
concert next month, uh...

Maybe you wanted
to go together.

Sure!

( voice cracks: )
really?!

Great, um...
Only problem is, though

I only have enough money
for one ticket.

They're $20.

No problem.

Really? Great!

Um... Uh... I'll buy
the tickets Friday.

I-I-I can bring
the money tomorrow.

Really? Great!

Great! Um... Well,
I'm going to go now.

Bye.

You wouldn't catch me
at a gourmet scum concert.

Liz:
I'll get our tickets.

It's my first time out
since emma was born.

How did you manage it?

Shane's been good
with child support

So I've saved up
my allowance.

My mom still gives
me an allowance.

Don't complain.

Want to go
out Friday

With the coolest dude
at degrassi?

Who?

No one's cool at degrassi.

Did I ever tell you

What a great sense
of humor you have?

I mean me.

Can't-- I'm lining up

For concert
tickets.

Anyway, I thought
we were just friends.

Right.

I forgot.

I can't wait
for this concert.

We haven't been
together for so long.

Hi.

So, what did he want?

Who?

Oh, you
mean snake.

Both:
Melanie!

Nothing...

We're going to the gourmet scum
concert together

That's all.

Are you kidding?
That's amazing!

But you hate them.

Diana, I'm not going

For the
music.

I need $20--
we're going dutch.

That still counts
as a date, right?

It counts.

Where are you
going to get the $20?

From my mom.

I have this babysitting job
Saturday.

So I can pay
her back.

This is perfect.

I get my braces off
and my entire life changes.

I'm sorry... No.

But mom...

We've been
through this before.

Any treats you pay for
with babysitting money.

But I'm babysitting
Saturday night.

I can pay you back.

Where's last week's money?

You know I spent it.

You have to learn
some responsibility.

You should have

Planned for this.

But I didn't know

About the
concert earlier.

I'm not trying
to be a wicked witch.

Things are very tight
right now.

Your father's behind again
on the child support.

The rent is due,
there are groceries to buy.

I'm sorry, there just
isn't any money.

Joey:
Come on, girls,
it'll be fun.

Hey, lucy, you look
incredible today

And I mean that
sincerely.

What do you want,
joey?

How would you like
to go out Friday

With the coolest dude
at degrassi?

Nice try.

I'd like to,
but I can't.

The gourmet scum's
breaking up

After this tour.

It's our last chance
to see them.

Just once.

Don't pay her.

It won't make
a difference.

Would mark schlagel report
to the principal's office?

Hi.

How would one
of you gorgeous
ladies

Like to go out
with me Friday
night?

Is he serious?

Look at that shirt!

Did you finish
the math assignment?

This is your principal,
mr. Lawrence.

All students are reminded

That when using
the halls or stairways

Foul language and shouting
should both be unheard.

Spike?

Hi.

Listen, sorry,
but I can't give you

Any child support this month.

Why not?

I'm broke.

This is great,
just great.

I'll give it to you
next time, I promise.

Okay.

I couldn't
convince my mom.

She acts like
we're mega-poor.

Oh, no.

Oh, yes.

I know
it took me ages

To pay you back
last time...

Sorry, I'm
broke, too.

My parents think
I'm too young
to baby-sit

So all I get
is my allowance.

Thanks.

Hi, melanie.

Hi.

Listen, you know
how I'm going

To the concert with snake?

I'm short of cash

So could either
of you lend me $20?

Sorry, but last time it took you
forever to pay me back.

My allowance is on a diet.

Raditch:
Greetings, ever-aspiring
scholars.

Well, so far this term,
we have read three plays.

Today we're going to take a look

At what common thread
runs through all three.

So you can't go.

It's so unfair.

I know.

Shane's a pig.

Well, if he
doesn't have it.

I wish I had
money to lend.

Thanks.

This is really
depressing.

Bye.

Bye.

Do you think
he'll understand?

Yes.

Here he comes.

It's not the end
of the world, right?

He's sure
to ask me out again.

Of course.

Hi, snake.

Hi, melanie.

Listen... Um...

I'm afraid...

Afraid?

...That I forgot to bring
the money today.

I'll bring it
tomorrow.

Oh, fine-- great, um...

Great.

I got to go.

Okay, bye.

Bye.

Very impressive.

I don't know how,
caitlin

But I have to go

To this concert.

I don't believe it.

The proofs were supposed
to be in at 2:00.

Oh...

Hi, mom,
I'm home.

Oh, hang on.

Hi, kiddo, I'm on the phone.

Can you get
some milk?

There's my purse.

Sure.

Mom:
I'm back.

Yeah.

Oh, I know,
I know.

It's insane.

Well, look, um...

How about first thing
Monday morning?

What do you think?

Yeah?

Right.

Oh, I know, I know.

It's insane.

Yeah, well, look.

Why don't we send it in
first thing Monday morning?

How about that?

Oh... No good, huh?

Snake:
You think
we should ask wheels

To the concert?

What's the point?

He hardly even
comes to school.

Hey, joey, don't forget
about our little bet.

You think I'd forget?

I'll be there... With my date.

Twenty bucks, man.

By the way,
bring new bills.

I hate dirty money.

So?

Who's your date?

Chicks-- who can figure them?

You haven't got a date.

Come on, ask her.

She wouldn't go.

Sure she would.

Come on, try it right now.

Give her the hairy eye

Go, "hey, caitlin,
come on..."

Go for it.

Caitlin?

Hi.

Hello.

Um...

I was wondering...

Well, if you'd like
to go out with me tonight.

I mean, a real date.

Seriously.

Well... I guess...

Maybe.

Really?

It'll be my treat, okay?

Okay, great.

All right.

Melanie.

Guess who just
asked me out?

Joey?

Uh-huh... And I don't know

But he seemed
so vulnerable or something.

And your mom?

Um... I'll tell her
I'm at your house, okay?


Sure.

This is so perfect--

You and joey,
me and snake.

You got
the money? How?

From my mom.

She said no.

She doesn't know.

You mean you stole it?

Borrowed it.

And I'll put it back

After I get paid for
babysitting on Saturday.

She'll
never know.

Please attend next week's
fire prevention seminar.

Let's keep our degrassi
environment smoke-free.

You going to line up
for tickets?

I've never been
to a concert.

Who's going?

Uh, me, you, snake, shane...

You'll love it, man.

Everybody just talks.

It's a party.

Hi, guys.

How's it
going?

Pretty good.
How's it
going?

Pretty good.

Shane's going
to the concert.

What?!

I overheard.

If he's so broke,
how can he

Afford concert
tickets?

You liar!

What?

You said you were broke.

Spike...

How can you buy
concert tickets?

I'm entitled to a life!

I was going to go.

So why should you go

Instead of me?

You get to go to parties.

I have to take care of emma.

So I give you money
all the time.

I do all the work.

Why can't I once just go out?

You're lucky I'm nice.

Lots of guys

Wouldn't give
you anything.

Liz was right.

You are a pig.

Garcia:
Let's get down to business...

Shall we?

Okay, we're going to start

Where we left off
on page 194 on proportions.

Deejay:
You've been listening
to the easy-listening hour

On craz radio.

Hi, mom.

Hi, kiddo.

You haven't seen a $20 bill
around, have you?

No, why?

I'm sure I had three 20s,
but I can only find two.

I've been trying to think
where it could be all day.

I don't know
what I'm going to do.

I needed that money
for groceries.

Can't you go

To the machine?

I can't get something
that isn't there.

You didn't take
the wrong bill yesterday?

No.

I'll get it.

Don't worry, mom, I'm sure
the money will show up.

Hello?

Oh, hello.

Yeah.

Oh, you don't?

No problem.

Okay, good-bye.

Who was that?

Mrs. Wilovsky.

She doesn't need me
to baby-sit Saturday.

That was the best.

No, the best scene was...

Joey:
You liked that?

I liked the part

When he had to pretend
he was her mother.

That was stupid.

There's b.L.T.
And michelle.

Hey, what
a coincidence!

Hi.

Okay if we join you?

We're on
a date.

What a movie!

Yeah, yeah.

Does anyone want
any cokes?

Yeah, sure,
my treat.

I feel kind of rich.

No, you paid
for the movies.

Okay, sure.

I'll help you.

Okay, great.

When joey jeremiah says
he'll deliver, he delivers.

So did you pay her
or is she hypnotized?

Hey, I don't need tricks.

What chicks want, I got--
looks, style

And raw animal
magnetism.

I don't know.

So where's my bucks?

Okay, okay.

Pay me later, okay?

No way, I pay my debts.

You said
you'd get

A date and you did.

You win

Fair and
square.

You asked me out on a bet?

Not exactly.

You asked me out on a bet?!

Caitlin, take it easy.

You've got it all wrong.

Yeah, I do.

I changed my mind, joey.

The cokes
are on you!

Caitlin, wait!

Caitlin, wait!!

That was a joke.

Oh, right!

I wanted to go
out with you!

So you could win $20.

No, I don't care
about the money.

Want to see how much I care?

Joey!

This is

How much
I care.

Caitlin, the reason
why I asked you out

Was because I wanted
to go out with you.

Joey?

You could at least

Walk me home.

Even if you are a drip.

You know...

This stuff
is really sticky.

You deserved it.

At least with
this rain

I won't need a shower
when I get home.

Mom:
How do you

Feel about chili

All week?

I like chili.

Good, it's all we can afford.

I wish I hadn't
lost that money.

Mom?

How come dad's
payments are late?

I don't know.

He probably doesn't
have the money.

I'm sure he'd send it
if he did.

He loves you, kiddo,
just like I do.

I thought I was
doing so well, too.

I was really proud
of the way I was organizing.

Then I go
and lose $20

Like a total idiot.

You... Didn't lose
the money, mom.

Melanie:
So I'm grounded.

What about
the concert?

I can't go.

So much for everything
being perfect.

I might as well have
kept the dumb braces.

How was your date
with joey?

Different...
But okay, I think.

The music department announces

That in response
to widespread demand

They won't need
the three tuba players.

See you.

Bye.

Hi.

Hi-- uh, I got the tickets.

Great, but I can't go.

I'm grounded.

What happened?

Don't ask.

I'm really sorry.

What about the ticket?

I'll sell it, I guess.

Is there anyone else
you'd like to go with?

No.

Maybe we can go out
when I'm not grounded.

Maybe.

Bye.

Bye.

Spike:
Now my mom will give me
the money to buy a ticket.

Now the concert's
sold out.

I really wanted to go.

Spike?

Want a ticket?

Twenty bucks.
