ASK YOUR MOM IF YOU CAN COME TO THE MOVIES.

SHE'LL SAY YES.

YOU'RE SURE YOUR DAD DOESN'T KNOW ABOUT US?

YES-- WE SAY I'M GOING TO ALEXA'S.

YOU AND YOUR MOM SURE WORK AS A TEAM.

BYE.

HI, MOM.

ARE YOU GOING SOMEWHERE?

I'M SORRY YOU HAVE TO FIND OUT LIKE THIS.

WHAT IS IT?

YOUR FATHER AND I ARE SEPARATING.

IT'S SO COMPLICATED.

WE DO NEED TO TALK, BUT NOW IS NOT THE TIME.

I'LL CALL YOU, I PROMISE.

MICHELLE!

DAD, WHAT HAPPENED?

I GUESS IT'S THE TWO OF US

FOR DINNER TONIGHT.

( clock rings )

� I WAKE UP IN THE MORNING �

� GOT TO SHAKE THE FEELING �

� I'VE GOT TO FACE A DAY OF SCHOOL �

� WHAT'S TO BE AFRAID OF? �

� I CAN ASK A QUESTION �

� OR MAYBE EVEN BEND THE RULES �

� I'M SEARCHING FOR A PLACE WHERE I'LL FIT IN �

� THERE'S A WAY, IF I LOOK THEN I CAN WIN �

� YEAH, I CAN SEE I'M NOT ALONE �

� I CAN FACE THE UNKNOWN �

� EVERYBODY CAN SUCCEED �

� IN YOURSELF YOU MUST BELIEVE �

� GIVE IT A TRY �

� AT DEGRASSI HIGH. �

COME ON, GUYS, I WANT SOME MORE LAY-UPS.

COME ON, LET'S GO!

Michelle: I WAITED ALL EVENING AND SHE DIDN'T CALL.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE SHE WENT.

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOUR DAD NOT TELLING YOU EITHER.

HE ACTED LIKE NOTHING HAD HAPPENED.

MY MOTHER SAYS MEN CAN'T DEAL WITH THEIR EMOTIONS.

MY DAD DOESN'T HAVE ANY EMOTIONS.

YOU SAID THEY ALWAYS FIGHT.

WHEN SIMON'S PARENTS SPLIT UP, THINGS GOT BETTER.

BUT I DON'T WANT THEM TO BREAK UP.

DID HE DO SOMETHING THAT MADE HER LEAVE?

HAD AN AFFAIR?

THAT'S WHY MY AUNT AND UNCLE SPLIT UP.

BUT HE'S SO OLD-FASHIONED.

HE KEPT MOM FROM GOING BACK TO SCHOOL.

HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND HER.

OKAY, GUYS, LET'S HIT THE SHOWERS.

I'M SORRY; I'VE TALKED ABOUT IT ALL DAY.

THAT'S WHAT FRIENDS ARE FOR.

SEE YOU OUTSIDE, MICHELLE.

BYE.

Woman on loudspeaker: Choir practice is cancelled

due to...

THERE'S LUCY.

LUCY!

HI.

HI.

OUR BAND, "THE ZITS," IS DOING VERY WELL.

DON'T YOU MEAN "THE ZIT REMEDY"?

NO, "THE ZITS"-- WE CHANGED THE NAME.

VERY CREATIVE.

WE WANT TO SHOOT A VIDEO.

CAN WE BORROW YOUR CAMERA?

PLEASE?

SURE, OKAY.

GREAT, THANKS A LOT.

UH... AS LONG AS I SHOOT IT.

BUT YOU'RE A CHICK.

OH, MY GOODNESS!

SO I AM!

THANK YOU, JOEY!

THE EQUIPMENT IS VERY TECHNICAL.

OH, COME ON.

IF YOU WANT TO USE MY CAMERA, I SHOOT IT.

OKAY.

WE WANT TO START SHOOTING TOMORROW AFTER SCHOOL.

I'LL BRING IT... IF I CAN CARRY IT.

THE EQUIPMENT IS SO HEAVY FOR A POOR GIRL LIKE ME.

COME ON, LET'S GO TELL SNAKE, ALL RIGHT?

Woman: ...there will be a meeting tomorrow.

Attendance is mandatory.

THE CLINIC TOLD YOU TO GO BACK IN TWO WEEKS.

IF I NEEDED TO TALK ABOUT IT.

I DON'T.

ERICA, YOU HAD AN ABORTION.

AND IT'S OVER.

I'M FINE NOW.

I KNOW YOU STILL THINK ABOUT IT.

YOU WERE TALKING IN YOUR SLEEP AGAIN LAST NIGHT.

EVERYONE TALKS IN THEIR SLEEP.

ERICA, WHY ARE YOU PRETENDING WITH ME?

I'M YOUR SISTER.

WILL YOU STOP IT?

I'M FINE.

I JUST WANT TO PRETEND IT NEVER HAPPENED!

ERICA!

WAIT!

COME ON, WAIT!

Wheels and Joey: � EVERYBODY WANTS SOMETHING... �

THERE'S SNAKE.

HEY, BUDDY.

HEY, JOEY.

HI, GUYS.

LUCY'S LETTING US USE HER CAMERA.

THAT'S GREAT.

LISTEN-- DID YOU BRING THE MONEY?

I HAD TO CLEAR OUT

MY SAVINGS ACCOUNT.

I HAD TO BORROW FROM MY GRANDMA.

THIS IS GREAT-- WE'VE GOT NEARLY $50.

NOW WE CAN PAY FOR TAPE AND STUFF.

WHY AREN'T YOU PUTTING ANY MONEY IN?

I'M BROKE.

GUYS, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

I SWEAR THIS WILL BE AN AMAZING VIDEO.

DON'T WE NEED A SCRIPT?

DON'T YOU GUYS WORRY ABOUT IT.

WE JUST NEED SOME CHICKS IN BIKINIS.

JOEY, NO ONE WILL WEAR A BIKINI FOR US.

WHO WILL YOU GET-- CAITLIN?

MAYBE.

MAKE YOUR DAD TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENED.

I CAN'T.

YOU'VE GOT A RIGHT TO KNOW.

YEAH, BUT I CAN'T TALK TO HIM

AND I DON'T WANT TO GET CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE.

MICHELLE, I'M WORRIED ABOUT YOU.

I'LL CALL YOU TONIGHT.

NO, MY DAD WILL GET MAD.

IF HE ANSWERS, I'LL HANG UP.

THANKS, BUT PLEASE DON'T.

IF THERE'S ANY PROBLEMS, CALL ME, OKAY?

OKAY.

HONEY, THIS LOOKS DELICIOUS.

I JUST FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS.

WELL, IT STILL LOOKS DELICIOUS.

THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT WE REALLY SHOULD DISCUSS.

IT'S JUST YOU AND ME NOW

AND WE'VE GOT TO WORK TOGETHER AS A TEAM

TO MAKE THE BEST OF THINGS.

I'M NOT ASKING YOU TO DO ALL THE WORK.

WE'LL DIVIDE THE HOUSEHOLD CHORES.

I HAVEN'T DONE MUCH IN THE PAST

BUT I'M PREPARED TO MAKE SOME CHANGES

AND YOU HAVE GOT TO BE PREPARED

TO MAKE SOME CHANGES, TOO.

LIKE WHAT?

LIKE STUDYING MORE; LOOKING AHEAD TO UNIVERSITY.

MY MARKS ARE GOOD.

HONEY, THE COURSES ARE GOING TO GET TOUGHER

AND I DON'T WANT YOU GOING OUT SO MUCH.

BUT I HARDLY GO OUT AT ALL...

EXCEPT TO ALEXA'S.

YOU REALLY THINK THAT I DON'T KNOW

THAT YOU'RE GOING OUT WITH THAT BLACK BOY?

YOU'RE 16 YEARS OLD.

THIS IS NO TIME FOR YOU TO START A SERIOUS RELATIONSHIP.

BUT DAD...

( phone rings )

MICHELLE, I'LL GET IT.

HELLO.

WHO WAS IT?

IT WAS A WRONG NUMBER.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH A BIKINI?

I SAID FORGET IT.

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WOULD ASK ME SOMETHING SO SEXIST.

IT'S NOT SEXIST!

YOU WORE A BIKINI ALL SUMMER.

YOU HAVE A GREAT BODY.

YOU'RE A CHAUVINIST PIG.

IT'S A COMPLIMENT!

I WOULDN'T ASK JUST ANYONE.

Amy: MY PARENTS WON'T GIVE ME ANY MONEY.

Alison: MINE ARE JUST AS BAD.

WE'VE GOT TO GET TO THE CONCERT.

EVERYONE GETS MORE ALLOWANCE THAN I DO.

LADIES, HI.

MY BAND, "THE ZITS," IS SHOOTING A MUSIC VIDEO.

I WOULD LIKE YOU TWO TO BE THE STARS.

WHAT DO WE HAVE TO DO?

JUST BE YOURSELVES LIKE YOU ARE NOW...

IN BATHING ATTIRE.

YOU MEAN LIKE BIKINIS?

Joey: NO, I MEAN...

I MEAN YES.

NO...

WE'LL DO IT.

REALLY?

FOR $20... EACH.

ALL RIGHT, NO PROBLEM.

MEET US OVER BY THE SOUTH DOORS AT 3:30.

SURE.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

YOU WANT TO GO TO THE CONCERT, DON'T YOU?

THIS IS IT.

GOOD.

Woman: The Environmental Activist Committee meets tonight

in room 212.

The subject of discussion will be

the disintegrating ozone layer.

HEATHER?

HI.

WE HEARD A RUMOR ABOUT ERICA.

WHAT SORT OF RUMOR?

SHE HAD AN ABORTION.

NO, NO-- THAT'S HORRIBLE!

WHO SAID THAT?

JOANNE HEARD SOME GIRLS TALKING IN THE WASHROOM.

I SAID IT WASN'T TRUE.

GOOD.

I DON'T KNOW HOW THESE RUMORS GET STARTED.

OKAY.

HI.

NANCY KNOWS.

WHAT?!

HOW?

JOANNE HEARD SOMEONE TALKING.

I TOLD HER IT WASN'T TRUE

AND I THINK THEY BELIEVE ME.

I HOPE SO.

BOO!

DID YOU CALL LAST NIGHT?

NO, YOU TOLD ME NOT TO.

IT MUST HAVE BEEN MOM.

THERE WERE TWO CALLS

BUT DAD SAID THEY WERE BOTH WRONG NUMBERS.

IT MUST HAVE BEEN YOUR MOM.

HE WON'T LET ME TALK TO MY OWN MOTHER, OR SEE YOU.

HE'S TRYING TO CONTROL EVERYTHING.

NO WONDER YOUR MOM LEFT HIM.

I HATE HIM.

Woman: Michelle Accette, come to the main office.

SHOULD I WALK YOU?

NO, IT'S OKAY.

Raditch: Attention, students: next Tuesday is the last opportunity

for those students who missed their scheduled photo days

for the student I.D. cards.

MICHELLE!

OH, I MISSED YOU.

I MISSED YOU, TOO.

I TRIED TO CALL

BUT YOUR FATHER KEPT HANGING UP ON ME.

YOUR FATHER AND I HAD A FIGHT.

HE TOLD ME TO LEAVE THE HOUSE AND NEVER COME BACK.

YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT HE'S BEEN LIKE.

YOU'VE ONLY BEEN GONE A DAY AND HE'S LAYING DOWN RULES.

AND HE KNOWS ABOUT BRYANT.

OH, HONEY, I'M SO SORRY.

LISTEN, THERE'S SO MUCH TO TALK ABOUT.

WHY DON'T WE GO OUT FOR SUPPER TONIGHT?

WHAT DO I TELL DAD?

HE HAS NO RIGHT TO PREVENT YOU FROM SEEING ME.

MOM, IT'S SO GOOD TO SEE YOU.

IS HE HAVING AN AFFAIR?

NO.

( school bell rings )

I'M SEEING SOMEONE.

I KNOW THIS IS OUT OF THE BLUE.

THAT'S WHY WE HAVE TO TALK.

I'VE GOT TO GO.

I'LL CALL YOU TONIGHT.

WE'LL GO TO THAT ITALIAN PLACE

DOWN ON PRINCE STREET.

SAY "HI" TO THE CAMERA.

IT'S NICE TO HAVE A DAD WHO GIVES YOU A VIDEO CAMERA.

WELL, IT'S EASIER BUYING ME THINGS

THAN ACTUALLY SPENDING TIME WITH ME.

CAN I TRY IT?

YEAH, IF YOU WANT TO.

YOU LOOK THROUGH THERE

AND THIS IS THE BUTTON THAT YOU USE TO ZOOM IN, OKAY?

L.D.: THIS IS A RIOT!

HI, WHEELS.

HI.

L.D.: WHEELS IS KIND OF CUTE THIS YEAR.

HE'S OKAY-- WHY?

NO REASON.

COME ON, L.D., WHAT'S THE STORY?

LUCY, THERE'S NO STORY, OKAY?

NO!

COME ON, WHAT IS IT?

THERE'S NOTHING HAPPENING, LUCY.

LEAVE ME ALONE.

SHE WAS HAVING AN AFFAIR.

I THINK SHE LIVES WITH HIM.

THAT'S AWFUL.

I THOUGHT WE WERE REALLY CLOSE

BUT I FEEL LIKE SHE BETRAYED ME.

WHY DIDN'T SHE AT LEAST WARN ME ABOUT THIS?

HE'S PROBABLY A NICE GUY.

I JUST FEEL SORRY FOR DAD.

I THOUGHT IT WAS HIS FAULT, BUT IT'S NOT.

COME ON, MICHELLE--

HE DIDN'T EXACTLY TREAT HER SO GOOD.

YOU SAID SO YOURSELF.

IT'S JUST NOT LIKE I THOUGHT AT ALL.

EVERY DAY IN BRAZIL

RAIN FORESTS ARE DESTROYED-- FOR FARMLAND!

AND EVERY DAY A NEW SPECIES IS COMPLETELY WIPED OUT.

THE BIG CORPORATIONS DON'T EVEN CARE.

IT'S MORE MONEY FOR THEM.

YOU'VE GOT THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT

THE DEPLETION OF THE OZONE LAYER.

PEOPLE DON'T THINK THEY CAN DO ANYTHING.

Wheels: HEY, JOEY--

THAT GUY IS TALKING TO YOUR GIRLFRIEND.

SHE'S JUST TRYING TO MAKE ME JEALOUS.

I THINK SHE LIKES HIM.

DO YOU SERIOUSLY THINK I'D BE JEALOUS

OF A GUY WHO CAN'T EVEN GROW A BEARD?

YOU CAN'T GROW A BEARD!

I CAN TOO... IF I WANTED TO.

FORGET ABOUT THE GUY, ALL RIGHT?

PICTURE THIS-- AMY AND ALISON IN WET-LOOK STRING BIKINIS.

KEEP DREAMING!

THEY AGREED TO IT.

THEY COULDN'T RESIST MY CHARM.

Wheels: GIVE ME A BREAK.

THIS WILL BE THE BEST VIDEO EVER.

ALL RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT.

OKAY, CLASS DISMISSED.

WE'LL SEE YOU AT THIRD PERIOD.

Woman: Would Rob Jansen and Brian Harris please report

to the main office?

Heather: I WONDER HOW NANCY AND JOANNE FOUND OUT.

I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY KNOW.

LISTEN, IT'S JUST A RUMOR.

IF WE KEEP DENYING IT, IT WILL GO AWAY.

ARE YOU SURE YOU DIDN'T TELL ANYONE?

ALL I DID WAS ASK SPIKE FOR ADVICE

BUT I DIDN'T EVEN MENTION YOUR NAME.

MAYBE SOMEONE SAW ME OUTSIDE THE CLINIC.

WHAT'S THAT?

HOW CAN THEY DO THIS?!

DON'T THEY KNOW HOW HARD IT WAS?

DO THEY THINK I LIKED HAVING AN ABORTION?

WHAT ARE THEY TRYING TO PROVE?

OH, IT'S SO UNFAIR.

ISN'T THIS A FABULOUS LOCATION?

THERE'S NOTHING BUT GARBAGE.

BUT IT DOES SUIT THE MUSIC.

GUYS, I'VE GOT IT ALL FIGURED OUT.

THIS WILL BE SO INCREDIBLE!

A SHOT OF US, IN THE DUMPSTER, SURROUNDED BY GIRLS.

L.D.: GIRLS?

WHAT GIRLS?

Alison: HI, SNAKE.

UH... HI.

LADIES, WHERE ARE THE COSTUMES?

UNDER THIS.

WHEN YOU'RE READY TO SHOOT, WE'LL CHANGE.

WHAT COSTUMES?

AMY AND ALISON HAVE GRACIOUSLY AGREED

TO BE IN OUR VIDEO... IN BATHING ATTIRE.

BIKINIS! BIKINIS!

GIRLS IN BIKINIS?

TALK ABOUT A CLICHE.

TALK ABOUT DEGRADING!

WE'RE MAKING $20 EACH.

L.D.: I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!

L.D.: IT'S JUST LIKE PROSTITUTION.

YOU PAID THEM $40 TO POSE IN BIKINIS?!

OUR $40?!

YOU'RE GETTING IT ALL WRONG!

YOU CAN'T USE MY CAMERA FOR A SEXIST VIDEO.

WAIT A MINUTE-- IT'S NOT SEXIST.

IT'S A CELEBRATION OF BEAUTY.

SO FIND ANOTHER CAMERA TO FILM YOUR CELEBRATION.

L.D.: YEAH, CHAUVINISTS.

SO JOEY, WHERE'S OUR MONEY?

FORGET IT!

WE DIDN'T EVEN SHOOT ANYTHING.

THAT'S NOT FAIR!

FORGET IT.

YOU SLEAZE!

I'M NOT A SLEAZE!

I'M A PRODUCER.

B.L.T.: WHEN ARE YOU MEETING YOUR MOM?

AS POON AS SHE LEAVES WORK.

I'M REALLY NERVOUS.

IT'S ONLY YOUR MOM.

SHE DIDN'T EXACTLY LEAVE YOU.

SHE SORT OF DID.

NO, SHE LEFT YOUR DAD, AND HE DESERVED IT.

YOU SAID SO YOURSELF.

YEAH, BUT IT'S DIFFERENT NOW.

IF YOU LIVE WITH YOUR DAD

WE WON'T BE ABLE TO SEE EACH OTHER ANYMORE.

I KNOW.

LET ME PUT IT THIS WAY--

WHO WOULD YOU RATHER LIVE WITH, YOUR MOM OR YOUR DAD?

MOM.

DAD, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HOME?

OH, I DECIDED TO TAKE A FEW DAYS OFF

AND I THOUGHT I'D GET ORGANIZED.

I THOUGHT I'D DO THE LAUNDRY

AND I MADE EVERYTHING PINK.

PRETTY FUNNY, ISN'T IT?

A MAN MY AGE, AND I CAN'T EVEN GET THIS RIGHT.

DAD?...

WHAT'S THAT SMELL?

OH, NO-- I FORGOT!

UNDER COLD WATER!

MICHELLE, I'M SORRY.

I JUST WANTED TO MAKE YOU DINNER

LIKE YOUR MOTHER USED TO MAKE.

I CAN MAKE SOMETHING.

OH, HONEY, I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE WITH ME.

I'M SORRY; I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME.

I CAN'T DO ANYTHING RIGHT.

I CAN'T DO ANYTHING RIGHT.

DAD, NO.

DAD, DON'T...

PLEASE DON'T...

IT'S OKAY.

( phone rings )

Joey: YOU CAN'T DROP OUT OF THE "ZITS"!

YOU NEVER LISTEN TO OUR IDEAS.

IT'S THE "JOEY JEREMIAH SHOW."

I SHOULD HAVE CHECKED WITH YOU ABOUT THE GIRLS.

AND THE SCRIPT!

IT'S OUR BAND, TOO.

LISTEN, GUYS--

WILL YOU STOP A MINUTE, PLEASE?

LOOK, I'M SORRY, OKAY?

I MADE A MISTAKE!

I GOT CARRIED AWAY!

FROM NOW ON, IT'S OUR BAND AND OUR IDEAS, OKAY?

OUR MONEY? OUR MONEY?

YEAH, OKAY, OUR MONEY.

GIVE ME ONE MORE CHANCE, PLEASE?

OKAY.

ALL RIGHT.

GREAT!

I'VE GOT THIS FABULOUS IDEA...

UH, JOEY...

WE GOT THIS FABULOUS IDEA.

WE TIE YOU TO THAT FLAG POLE.

Joey: THE FLAG POLE?

YEAH, WE'RE GOING TO...

Man: Congratulations to those who have made the basketball team.

First practice will be tomorrow morning at 7:00 a.m.

MICHELLE-- SO HOW WAS DINNER?

I DIDN'T GO.

WHAT?-- WHY NOT?

DAD CAN'T DO THE LAUNDRY AND HE CAN'T COOK.

WHO WILL TAKE CARE OF HIM IF I LIVE WITH MOM?

THAT'S HIS PROBLEM, NOT YOURS.

BUT HE'S HELPLESS.

HE NEEDS ME.

HE'S MY DAD.

SO YOU'LL BE HIS WIFE?

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

THE MAN'S A RACIST.

MICHELLE...

LOOK, I DON'T NEED THIS FROM YOU!

I NEED YOU TO BE MY FRIEND!

I'M JUST TRYING TO DO MY BEST.

I'M REALLY CONFUSED.

I'M SO STUCK IN THE MIDDLE, I CAN HARDLY BREATHE.

I'M SORRY; I JUST DON'T WANT ANYTHING TO HAPPEN TO US.

ME NEITHER.

DON'T MAKE ANY QUICK DECISIONS.

THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU'LL DO

AND WHATEVER HAPPENS, I'LL BE THERE.

OKAY.

COME HERE.
