08x11 - Causing a Commotion

[bunniefuu]

Degrassi, I'm proud to announce this.
Because your rector is the best of the year.

Connor, found something else to make us look strange.
-Flickering of fluorescent lights should stop

How nice.

Listen, who wants Friday off?

You two, I want some quotes on video
about me for the award ceremony.

What a danger.
-It keeps me from bothering you.

If it's really a problem
do you need a doctor's note.

Try to be normal.

I want you to leave that lamp on.
He needs it.

I can't have exceptional students, sorry.

Unless he's a footballer.

You are entitled to your opinion.
During detention.

You can't leave me behind
for an argument.

Of course I am, I'm the headmaster.

'Be normal' is what the
can say rector of the year?

This is a video why he does it
deserved to become it.

He doesn't deserve it.
-Is this still about the lamp?

No, it's about
that we are all different.

Do you want to protest now?

You're not going to protest?

Beautiful camera.

Yes this one looks like the one I wanted.
-Buy your own camera.

We want to get Shep back.
We do this as a group.

Because one time detention wasn't enough?

Someone wants to see you.
-Yeah since I got beaten is so nice to me.

Have you forgotten why it's over?
With that stuff about your family and relationships.

Is there still room?

It's unfair that Riley only days
suspended for hitting you.

The rector cannot miss one of their best players.
-It stays fresh.

Maybe it is strong?
-Strong?

Are you serious?
Those words don't remind me of arm wrestling.

I'll let you win too.

I'm going to watch a movie with Leia.

You didn't think you were stronger, did you?

Or is it?
-I'll show you who's strong.

What are you doing?

You worry about me so...
-You think I still love you?

I still love you.
But that means we're not together.

Is this still about the camping trip?
I know I'd been an assh*le.

You always do what your family wants.

The problem is, your family doesn't want me.

You do not know.
-Because you didn't tell me about me.

And you're never going to do that.

Your plan is going to get us in trouble.

How's my video going?

What did I say yesterday.

That you don't make an exception for one student.
Now that is no longer necessary.

What?

No, get those lights out now.

If Connor can keep him.
-Do you want to negotiate?

What do you offer? Exactly nothing.
Get those lights out now!

Okay, detention everyone.

I thank myself for this.

Nice then, Claire.

If I tell something about Anya, it's over.
But if I don't, that's too.

You dress the way you want and you're in a band.
Your parents are very open.

About many things.
But courtship is different.

Actually forbidden.
And dating with no Muslim is not allowed.

So you have to choose.
Anya or family.

I like both.

Can we involve the school board?
-Do that after this detention turn.

Be right back.

Stop Connor.

I told you to stop.

Leave him Ellie.
-Not until he gives them pencil.

Go away.

Holy shit you are.
-You got me pencil.

What's wrong with you?

Who did this?
-I said she had to go.

That's the fascinating story.
The tears tell more.

You know how he is.
Why don't you leave him alone?

Ellie is okay,
not that you care.

What do you mean?

He is your friend.

But you can't defend him
for pushing Ellie.

Have you ever fallen in a puddle of mud
while people were laughing?

You don't want to get it.

I'm not going to apologize.
She had to leave me alone.

Connor is a good boy, we are waiting for the test.
-I want him out of school.

This is not the first problem.
Sorry, this is my decision now.

There's a girl at school...
- House arrest forever.

This is seriously Ellie.
-What?

Father.

I want to discuss something with you.

Which has nothing to do with Ellie.

Tell.

Before you married mama you were then
not interested in other girls?

You mean when I was?
Sure.

But you weren't dating?
-That's not allowed.

In India.

It's different here.
And there's a girl...

which I like, Anya.
I like her very much.

Please say something.

If you're serious we should meet her.
Invite her for an evening.

Serious?

Father you are the best.

You can't leave now.
-My parents won't let me here at Degrassi.

But we're not done yet.
We can go to the school board.

Apologize to Ellie.
-She grabbed my pencil.

I'm a moron.

Everyone thinks that.
Shep, Ellie, KC, even Mr. Simpson.

He wants me tested.

Test... what for?

All your clothes are the same?

You always wear the same.
-But I have different clothes at home.

You think I'm a moron too.

Go away!

Shep did not run for
school president, he takes my place.

This is not good.
-We can cut it.

Connor has been suspended, Claire.

Leave it Ellie.

Everthing okay?

Connor was so...
-Foreign?

I was at his house yesterday
and he had a seizure.

There's something about him.

Claire, can I talk to you.

Since you're friends
Connor wants me to tell you this.

He has Asperger's syndrome.

Asperger's?

His brain works differently.
He still has to learn rules that we know.

But isn't that what medication is for?
-No.

But with guidance you can
he follow normal life.

He is afraid.
He needs a friend now.

I have to work.

Romeo and Juliet, a love story.
Or the story of two teenagers.

What does this artist represent?

And more importantly what do you do?

You're making it difficult.
-Unpack.

Did I miss anything?

You need it if
you come to dinner with me tonight.

You told your parents.
-Yes, they want to meet you.

I love you.

Thank you.

Love, enjoy when you are young.

mr. Simpson let me in.

Is that an 'X' model?

I replaced the engine
with a hydraulic system.

For more power, smart.

I thought you weren't coming when I left.

I needed some time
to process your news

They say Einstein also had Asperger's.

He also wore the same clothes as you.

mr. Simpson told me I was smart.
-So are you.

He also said that not everyone likes things
which I do like.

So I have to be careful with my robots.

Do not worry.

You don't think I'm a moron?
-No, I think you belong with Degrassi.

Isn't Anya's Barfi tasty?
-You can match it with your mother's.

I so wanted to meet you.
-We're happy to talk to you, together.

We're glad Sav met you.
But you also need to know their future.

And that's with someone more than you.

Mother?

This is no surprise to you, Sav.
-You had Anya come.

It's important that Anya knows the truth.
No one gets into a relationship without a future.

I can become a Muslim if I read the Quran and stuff.
-It's not about religion.

When you leave the house, you easily lose the rules.
You have to repeat them to your children.

I thought you had been too?
-Sorry, your mom and I have always been together.

I respect your honesty.
But I think I'm going.

I'll let you out.
-It is not necessary.

A new football team? Since that Shep
the sports are getting better here.

Nicely done, let's film my introduction.

Here?
-Good.

Action.

Principal of the year.
I feel very honoured.

You have to let Connor come back.
-All I have to do is make this video.

Children with autism can
attend regular school.

If you send him away...
-Degrassi's better off without the morons.

Without idiots?
Should we kick off anyone who isn't normal?

Don't challenge me.
-You are a terrible person!

You are a sl*t.

Forget it.
I'll do it live.

Do you want to be suspended?
-I don't care anymore.

What if we were the real Rector
of the year show?

Everyone, take a seat.

The award ceremony is about to begin.

The school board
the teachers and students.

This award is an honor.

Every day I make Degrassi the school
which I like to lead.

And I'm doing fine too.

Because I asked some students
to make a video about me.

Autistic children can
attend regular school.

Degrassi is better off without morons.

Turn this off.
I said turn this off.

Don't challenge me.
-You're a bad principal.

You are a sl*t.

Does he deserve this award?

Someone who thinks Degrassi is better off
with children who are something different.

Because we don't think so.

You know why.

Wait a second.

Stop now, I get this reaction.
But I mean...

Is this a joke?

No more Shep!

I'm the head of the school board.
And you are responsible for this.

Yes that's me.
-Can you explain?

It all started with a lamp.

I'm very sorry.
-How can you do this to me?

I...

wanted to show me parents
that they accept you, together.

You didn't stand up for me.
-Well, but too late.

What do you mean?

I told my parents
that I want to keep seeing you.

For real?
-Yes...

They were angry.
But it's my life with you.

This will not be

et easy.

I know.
But I love you.

And I'm sure that
my parents think so too.

I'll take care of that differently.

I'm going to play Rector for this month
Shepherd follows an important...

class.
-He won't be fired?

My father said it's hard to
to be fired as a teacher.

And I heard that he
goes on sensitivity course.

are we really back on that for good?

I changed for a reason.
-I think she looks beautiful.

Can Claire, Ellie, and KC
come to my room?

You're back.

I have this bulb.
And he is safe too.

The school board pushed Connor back.

Techniques are coming up how he works with
to deal with social situations.

I want to apologize.

Sorry I pushed you.

Me too.

And how does that feel Asperger's?

A relief.

It's not my fault the way I am.
And that there are many others.

I'm not strange anymore.

We are all strange
only you have an excuse.
