43 MINUTES AND 36 SECONDS!

ARE YOU NERVOUS?

YOU WOULD BE, TOO.

MY HANDS ARE SHAKING.

RELAX.

WE'LL BOTH PASS THE DRIVING TEST.

I HOPE SO.

IF I FLUNK AGAIN...

YOU READY?

JUST A SECOND.

HURRY UP.

IT'S FINISHED!

THIS IS AN ESSAY.

I WORKED FOR A CHANGE.

I'VE NOTICED YOU'VE BEEN WORKING.

I AM NOT GOING TO FLUNK AGAIN.

CAN WE GO NOW?

I HAVE TO HAND THIS IN.

DEFINITELY AN "A"!

( 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. �

Walfish: I WAS VERY PLEASED WITH YOUR ESSAYS.

I CAN SEE IMPROVEMENT WITH YOUR COMPOSITIONAL STYLES.

YOU'RE STARTING TO SOUND LIKE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS.

ALL RIGHT, THAT'S IT.

TAKE A HANDOUT.

JOEY, COULD YOU STAY BEHIND FOR A MOMENT?

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR LICENSE.

THANKS, THANKS.

WHEN DO WE GET A RIDE?

AS SOON AS I CAN TALK MY DAD INTO LETTING ME USE THE CAR.

YOU UP FOR SPIT TODAY?

YES, AND I'M GOING TO BEAT YOU.

BIG WORDS FOR SUCH A LITTLE GUY.

AREN'T THEY GOING TO STUDY FOR TOMORROW'S TEST?

Woman on loudspeaker: Would Martin Fraser please come to the office?

I'M SORRY ABOUT THE MARK.

I THOUGHT I DID OKAY.

IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH CONTENT.

THERE WERE TOO MANY PROBLEMS

WITH STYLE AND SPELLING.

BUT I REALLY TRIED.

I THINK THE PROBLEM MIGHT BE BIGGER THAN NOT TRYING.

THAT'S WHY WE'RE MEETING

WITH THE PSYCHOLOGIST TODAY.

I DON'T NEED A PSYCHOLOGIST.

SHE'S AN EXPERT.

WE SHOULD FIND SOME ANSWERS.

Woman: The Biology Department is proud to announce

the hatching of 14 baby chicks.

They will be on display in the science corridor.

HI.

SO, YOUR COURT DATE MUST BE PRETTY SOON.

THURSDAY MORNING AT 9:00.

WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL HAPPEN?

I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY SENTENCE PEOPLE

WHO SPRAY-PAINT ON FACTORY WALLS.

YOU'RE MAD BECAUSE I GOT AWAY.

YOU SHOULD HAVE HELPED ME.

CAN'T I GET ANOTHER CHANCE?

DO I GET CONDEMNED FOREVER BECAUSE OF ONE MISTAKE?

I'M SORRY.

REALLY.

IF YOU'RE REALLY SORRY, YOU'LL COME WITH ME TO COURT.

OKAY.

OKAY.

...MULTIPLY THE OCULAR BY THE OBJECTIVE VIEW.

I HOPE OUR REVIEW WAS USEFUL.

GOOD LUCK ON THE TEST TOMORROW.

Girl: WHAT WAS HE SAYING ABOUT THE OCULAR?

DO YOU UNDERSTAND ANY OF THAT?

NO.

I NEED HELP-- FAST.

ASK ALEX-- HE ALWAYS GETS GOOD MARKS IN SCIENCE.

WHY DO YOU WANT CLAUDE TO GO WITH YOU?

IF IT WASN'T FOR HIM, THIS WOULDN'T BE HAPPENING.

SORRY I CAN'T GO.

YOU HAVE TO KEEP YOUR DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT.

YOU DON'T WANT TO GET BACK WITH CLAUDE

DO YOU?

NO, BUT I NEED SOMEONE TO BE THERE.

I MEAN, OTHER THAN THE LAWYER.

IT'S HORRIBLE IN COURT.

THEY MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE A PIECE OF MEAT.

Woman: Would Gary Barnes please come to the office?

ALEX, I NEED YOUR HELP.

WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?

IT'S SCIENCE.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING MR. WEBSTER SAYS.

I'D LIKE TO HELP, BUT I CAN'T.

IF I FAIL THE TEST, I'LL PROBABLY FLUNK THE COURSE

WHICH MEANS I'LL HAVE TO GO TO SUMMER SCHOOL!

YOU ALWAYS GET HIGH MARKS IN WEBSTER'S CLASS.

ALL RIGHT.

I'LL HELP--

IF YOU HELP ME WITH GEOGRAPHY.

I'M SORT OF BEHIND.

IT'S A DEAL.

PROMISE TO NEVER, EVER TELL ANYONE

WHAT I'M ABOUT TO TELL YOU.

SURE.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT EITHER

BUT MR. WEBSTER USES THE SAME TEST EACH YEAR.

MY BROTHER WAS IN HIS CLASS THREE YEARS AGO--

HE KEPT EVERYTHING.

YOU'VE GOT THE TEST?

I'LL BRING IT TO THE LIBRARY.

YOU CAN PHOTOCOPY IT.

YES.

HI.

HI.

I HEARD YOU BROKE UP WITH THAT OTHER GUY.

YOU JUST CHEW US UP AND SPIT US OUT, DON'T YOU?

Wheels: YOU WENT THE WRONG WAY UP A ONE-WAY STREET?

THE TESTER TOLD ME TO TURN!

SNAKE, WANT TO SEE MY LICENSE?

DON'T BUG ME.

WHY CAN'T I PASS THE TEST?

AM I DUMB?

YEAH.

JUST KIDDING.

I'LL PROBABLY HAVE TO WALK FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.

YOU CAN TAKE THE BUS.

YOU'LL GET YOUR LICENSE NEXT TIME.

TRUST ME.

THIS GUY NEEDS TO SEE A MOVIE-- SOMETHING FUNNY.

I CAN'T GO-- I GOT A MEETING WITH WALFISH.

ABOUT WHAT?

JUST MY MARKS-- NOTHING IMPORTANT.

Dwayne: EXCUSE ME, COCKROACHES.

WHAT A RETARD.

THAT GUY IS SO DENSE.

HI, I'M DWAYNE.

I'M REALLY STUPID.

( grunting )

( grunting and hooting )

( hooting changes to coughing )

THIS IS SO GREAT.

DON'T BREATHE A WORD TO ANYONE.

I WON'T.

THANKS.

HELLO, ALEX.

YEAH, SURE.

Woman: One of the 14 chicks in the Biology Department

is now missing.

HI.

WHY ARE YOU SO CHEERFUL?

THE SCIENCE TEST IS TOMORROW.

I'M GOING TO FLUNK FOR SURE.

MY PARENTS ARE GOING TO BE REALLY MAD.

PROMISE TO NEVER, EVER TELL ANYONE

ABOUT WHAT I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU.

SURE.

DON'T ASK WHY, BECAUSE IT'S A SECRET.

OKAY.

IS THIS...

SHH!

IT IS?

Joey: MAYBE THIS WEEKEND I CAN SHARE

SOME OF MY DRIVING EXPERTISE WITH YOU.

HA-HA.

WHY IS YOUR MOM HERE?

SHE'S COMING TO THE MEETING.

THEY BRING PARENTS IN FOR EVERYTHING AROUND HERE.

I'LL CATCH YOU GUYS LATER.

ALL RIGHT, BYE.

Wheels: WHAT MOVIE DO YOU WANT TO SEE?

HERE COMES JOEY NOW.

MOM, I TOLD YOU TO WAIT IN THERE.

I JUST ARRIVED.

MOM!

JOEY, I AM YOUR MOTHER.

DON'T BE EMBARRASSED.

WHAT DO YOU THINK THEY'LL SAY?

I'M SURE A LITTLE HARD WORK WILL HELP.

I'M ALREADY WORKING HARD!

YOU MAY HAVE TO WORK HARDER.

Walfish: MRS. JEREMIAH, HELLO.

DR. BRUCE IS READY FOR US.

Student: The disarmament committee is now meeting in Room 124.

All those interested, please attend.

WE'VE DISCOVERED WHY JOEY IS HAVING PROBLEMS

WITH SOME OF HIS CLASSES.

YOU HAVE WHAT IS CALLED "DYSGRAPHIA."

WHAT?

DYSGRAPHIA.

A SMALL PART OF YOUR BRAIN SHORT-CIRCUITS.

YOU CAN SPEAK WELL AND HAVE LOTS OF IDEAS

BUT YOUR BRAIN DOESN'T INSTRUCT YOUR HANDS

TO WRITE THEM DOWp PROPERLY.

YOU MEAN I'M STUPID, RIGHT?

NO, QUITE THE OPPOSITE.

IT'S CLEAR FROM YOUR TESTS YOU'RE A VERY BRIGHT YOUNG MAN

WHO HAPPENS TO HAVE A LEARNING DISABILITY.

IT'S NOTHING TO BE ASHAMED OF.

WHAT DO WE DO ABOUT IT?

WE RECOMMEND PUTTING JOEY INTO A SPECIAL CLASS.

IT WILL BE FOR ONLY ONE PERIOD A DAY.

THE REST OF THE TIME HE WILL ATTEND REGULAR CLASSES.

WHY HAS NO ONE NOTICED THIS BEFORE?

DETECTING THIS IN GRADE NINE ISN'T THAT UNUSUAL.

OVER THE YEARS, JOEY HAS DEVELOPED WAYS TO COMPENSATE.

HOWEVER, IN HIGH SCHOOL IT GETS TOUGHER--

THERE'S LESS STRUCTURE, MORE FREEDOM.

IS THERE ANYTHING MY HUSBAND AND I CAN DO

LIKE GETTING HIM A TUTOR?

Maya: CAITLIN, DID YOU STUDY FOR THE SCIENCE TEST?

Caitlin: NO, I CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT THIS COURT CASE.

Luke: MAN, WEBSTER'S CLASS IS SUCH A BORE.

I'M FALLING ASLEEP IN THERE.

HOW CAN YOU STUDY WITH YOUR LOCKER LIKE THAT?

I DON'T.

I'M GOING TO FLUNK THIS TEST.

I TRIED TO FAKE SICK THIS MORNING

BUT I LEFT THE THERMOMETER

ON THE RADIATOR TOO LONG.

I'M GOING TO FAIL FOR SURE.

MY PARENTS ARE GOING TO KILL ME-- AGAIN.

HOW MUCH WOULD IT BE WORTH TO YOU

TO HAVE GUARANTEED SUCCESS

ON THIS TEST?

A LOT-- WHY?

ALL RIGHT! ALL RIGHT!

ARE YOU SURE THIS IS THE TEST?

YES!

DON'T SHOW IT TO ANYONE ELSE, OKAY?

HEY, DON'T WORRY, MAN.

WE'VE GOT IT MADE.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

DON'T YOU HAVE A CLASS?

I'M NOT GOING TO CLASS ANYMORE.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

THEY WANT TO PUT ME IN SPECIAL ED.

REALLY?

THAT'S TOO BAD.

BUT THE TEACHER IS A BABE.

I MAY TRANSFER INTO SPECIAL ED MYSELF.

THAT'S NOT FUNNY!

IF I'M SO DUMB, WHY STAY HERE?

I'M QUITTING.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO INSTEAD?

I'VE GOT MY LICENSE.

I CAN DELIVER PIZZA

FOR MY UNCLE TONY.

GREAT FUTURE.

YOU'RE BETTER OFF HERE.

I'M QUITTING.

THIS IS MY LAST DAY IN THIS CRUMMY PLACE.

RIGHT, JOEY.

WE BELIEVE YOU.

I MEAN IT!

SURE-- SEE YOU.

Man: ...meeting in Room 113 at the beginning of lunch.

Have a great day.

GOOD LUCK.

( bell rings )

I HAVE A FEELING WE'RE GOING TO DO REALLY WELL TODAY.

ALL RIGHT!

I JUST HAD A THOUGHT--

WHAT IF IT'S A DIFFERENT TEST?

EVERYONE TAKE THEIR SEATS.

I DON'T WANT ANYTHING ON THE BENCH

EXCEPT FOR A PEN OR PENCIL.

DON'T TURN OVER THE PAPERS UNTIL I GIVE THE SIGNAL.

AND BEGIN.

WELL, IT'S THE DUMB LITTLE NINER.

( grunting )

ISN'T THAT FUNNY?

LEAVE ME ALONE.

WHAT'S WRONG?

NO SENSE OF HUMOR?

YOUR LITTLE FRIENDS THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY.

( grunting )

WATCH IT!

YOU WATCH IT, JERK!

YOU IGNORANT COCKROACH.

I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU!

I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU!

Raditch: BREAK IT UP!

THAT'S ENOUGH!

BREAK IT UP.

Joey: HE STARTED IT!

THE LITTLE JERK CALLED ME A JERK!

I DON'T CARE!

DWAYNE, THIS IS YOUR SECOND FIGHT THIS WEEK!

BOTH OF YOU TO MY OFFICE!

Teacher: THE PARTY'S OVER.

BACK IN CLASS.

I ENJOYED THAT.

ALEX, I ACED IT!

YOU'RE A SAVIOR!

OH, WELL, NO PROBLEM.

LISTEN, I'M REALLY SORRY

BUT I CAN'T GO WITH YOU TO COURT ON THURSDAY.

WHY NOT?

I ASKED MY PARENTS AND THEY SAID NO WAY COULD I MISS SCHOOL.

IF THE TRIAL WAS AFTER SCHOOL...

WHY DID YOU ASK YOUR PARENTS?

I JUST DID.

YOU KNEW THEY'D SAY NO, SO YOU TOLD THEM!

WHAT IF THE SECURITY GUARD RECOGNIZES ME?

MY PARENTS WOULD THROW ME OUT!

IT WAS YOUR IDEA TO VANDALIZE THE FACTORY!

CAITLIN, COME ON.

YOU COULD HAVE HELPED ME!

CALM DOWN.

DON'T TOUCH ME!

Raditch: THAT IS QUITE ENOUGH!

TAKE CLAUDE TO HAVE THAT SEEN TO BY THE SCHOOL NURSE.

CAITLIN, COME WITH ME.

Raditch: UNTIL 5:00.

Teacher: FINE.

DAN, WHILE YOU'RE HERE, THERE'S SOME THINGS I'D LIKE TO DISCUSS.

FIND A DESK AND SIT.

WE'LL BE RIGHT OUTSIDE THE DOOR

SO DON'T GET ANY FANCY IDEAS.

Man: Okay, sports fans, this is the big one.

Our boys' basketball team has its final match tonight.

Buses are now loading at the East Gate.

You don't want to miss this match.

WHAT'S MISS GOODY TWO-SHOES DOING IN DETENTION?

I...

I GOT IN A FIGHT.

OOH! WHAT HAPPENED?

SOME GUY DIDN'T JUMP WHEN YOU TOLD HIM TO?

OR HE DIDN'T JUMP HIGH ENOUGH, RIGHT?

YOU'RE REALLY STUPID.

THANKS.

I'VE NEVER MET ANYONE AS IGNORANT AS YOU.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

YOU'RE RIGHT.

JOEY JEREMIAH, MR. LEARNING-DISABLED.

SINCE WHEN ARE YOU LEARNING-DISABLED?

THEY PUT ME IN SPECIAL ED!

SO BIG DEAL.

LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE IN SPECIAL ED.

NOT THIS GUY.

RIGHT AFTER SCHOOL, I'M OUT OF HERE.

THAT'S REALLY INTELLIGENT.

WHY NOT?

THERE'S NO POINT IN STAYING HERE.

I'VE GOT A DISABILITY, TOO-- EPILEPSY.

THAT DOESN'T STOP ME.

BUT YOU'RE NOT STUPID-- I AM.

NO, YOU'RE NOT, BUT DROPPING OUT OF SCHOOL--

THAT'S REALLY DUMB.

YOU KNOW, WHEN WE WERE GOING TOGETHER

YOU HAD A LOT MORE GUTS.

CAITLIN, WAIT!

I'M COMING TO COURT WITH YOU.

YOU'VE GOT A DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT.

I TALKED TO MY MOM.

WE CANCELED IT.

I'M NOT SICK.

IT'S JUST A CHECK-UP.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO.

I WANT TO.

YOU NEED SOMEONE, RIGHT?

NOW THAT WEASEL-FACE BACKED OUT.

THANKS.

THANKS A LOT.

Snake: LOOK WHO'S HERE.

Wheels: I THOUGHT YOU QUIT SCHOOL.

DIDN'T WASH WITH YOUR PARENTS?

IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH MY PARENTS.

I FIGURED, HAVING DYSGRAPHIA DOESN'T MEAN I'M STUPID.

BUT YOU ARE.

RIGHT.

SO HOW COME I GOT MY LICENSE AND YOU DIDN'T?

DON'T START THAT AGAIN!

WE KNEW YOU WEREN'T SERIOUS.

I WAS SERIOUS.

I JUST CHANGED MY MIND.

ACTUALLY, I'M KIND OF DISAPPOINTED.

I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO HAVING YOU DELIVER MY PIZZAS.

I'LL CATCH YOU LATER.

SEE YOU LATER.

BYE.

Snake: WHAT IS DYSGRAPHIA?

Wheels: I DON'T THINK IT'S A BIG PROBLEM.

( bell rings )

WHEN I STARTED MARKING YOUR TESTS LAST NIGHT

I WAS QUITE PLEASED.

MANY OF THE MARKS WERE EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD.

AS I KEPT MARKING, MY PLEASURE GREW.

MOST OF YOU WERE PERFECT OR NEAR PERFECT.

YOU DID SO WELL THAT I REALIZED THIS TEST WAS TOO EASY

FOR YOUR SHARP YOUNG MINDS

SO I'VE DECIDED TO IGNORE YESTERDAY'S RESULTS

AND I'VE MADE UP A NEW AND MUCH MORE CHALLENGING TEST

WHICH WE WILL DO NOW.

PLEASE PASS THESE BACK.

REMOVE YOUR BOOKS FROM THE BENCHES.

DON'T TURN THE TEST OVER UNTIL I TELL YOU TO BEGIN.

YOU WILL HAVE ONE HOUR TO COMPLETE THE TEST.

REMEMBER, THERE WILL BE NO TALKING DURING THE TEST.

YOU MAY BEGIN.
