Original subtitles

At the broom closet, main foyer.

Please bring your master keys with you.

Amazing, arthur!

It can pick up time everywhere.

Can you get the ball game?

Good morning, scholars.

Class: Good morning, mr. Raditch.

I'll be handing back

Your last papers tomorrow.

I want you to start

On your next assignment.

Psst, yick--

You going to the basketball tryouts?

Me, too.

Arthur, this is great.

We could be

On the same team together.

Mr. Yick yu!

Who else?!

Listen, mr. Yu-the-disorganized.

Your work is...

How can I explain

So you'll understand?

There's ten seconds left.

You're down by 50 points

And you don't care.

Pay attention.

Therefore, for next week

I want clear essays...

He's always picking on me.

? wake up in the morning, feeling shy and lonely ?

? gee, I got to go to school ?

? I don't think I can make it, don't think I can take it ?

? I'm wondering what I'm going to do ?

? but when I look around, I see ?

? that someone is smiling right at me ?

? wait! ?

? that someone's talking to me ?

? hey! I've got a new friend. ?

? everybody can succeed ?

? all you need is to believe ?

? be honest with yourself ?

? forget your fears and doubts ?

? come on, give us a try ?

? degrassi junior high. ?

Attention, students-- as your principal...

Hi, steph.

Go away.

I don't talk to grade sevens.

Did you bring the shoes

I left at mom's?

Why couldn't you wait?

I'm trying out

For the basketball team.

You? Basketball?

Sure!

Dad used to play, remember?

Basketball is in my blood.

Right.

Stay away from me.

If anyone finds out you're my brother

You'll wish you were never hatched.

No problem.

See you on the weekend.

Joey: Hey, artie-smartie.

I hear your mother recalling you.

Stephanie!

You're beautiful.

Have I told you that?

Know what, kathleen?

Junior high's different than I thought.

Yeah, too much homework.

Not that.

I thought there'd be lots of parties.

Not political parties, but real parties

With music and boys and potato chips.

And dancing.

And drugs.

My mom warned me--

"junior high is full of drugs."

I haven't seen any.

Melanie, you'd try drugs?

Oh, yeah, for sure.

Wouldn't you?

Um... Yeah, sure.

Yeah!

Okay, arthur.

You can be our secret weapon.

You can play for the other team.

Just relax and concentrate, arthur.

Brainers don't know how to relax.

They only know how to study.

Coach: Next!

Come on, yick.

You can do it.

All right! Whew!

Good shot!

See you.

Keep practicing.

See you guys.

Uh, yick?

Yeah?

Seeing as you're good at basketball

I was wondering

If you could maybe show me some stuff?

If you're busy...

Sure!

We're friends.

Come on.

I think the main thing

Is you're holding the ball like this

But you should hold it like this.

Don't hurry.

Breathe deep.

Aw, no...

Don't hold the ball like this.

Hold it like this

And snap the wrist.

I am, but it doesn't work.

Arthur: Sorry about getting you into trouble with mr. Raditch.

Yick: It wasn't your fault.

He hates me.

Always gives me the same crummy marks.

He doesn't read my stuff.

Sure he does.

No, he doesn't.

He's got me stereotyped.

I could hand in einstein's paper

And I'd still get a "d."

Two chocolate milkshakes, please.

This food's better than my mom's cooking.

What if we did an experiment?

What sort of an experiment?

Suppose I got you a paper

From raditch's class last year?

You could copy it

And hand it in.

But he'll recognize it.

He won't recognize one paper.

He's got five classes.

That's probably...

3,750 papers a year.

Yeah, but how will you get the paper?

From stephanie.

Stephanie kaye?

How will you get her paper?

Never mind.

But trust me.

It won't matter.

He'll give me a bad mark.

But it's worth a try.

Both: Cheers.

I don't know about drugs.

Don't be chicken.

I'm not!

I just don't want to get hooked.

Nobody wants to get hooked.

I don't want to become an addict

And live in horrible poverty.

I just want to try drugs...

Joey f. Jeremiah...

Esquire--

"f" for pharmacy--

At your service.

So--

What do you want?

Smoke?

Pop?

What's your style?

Lebanese light?

Bolivian blue?

Degrassi grass?

Or the top of my line--

New zealand zappers.

Highly recommended.

Um...

Sure.

Right, kathleen?

Um... Yeah, I guess so.

I'll see what I can do.

Catch you later.

Melanie...

Who is it?

Oh, it's only you.

What are you doing here?

Visiting mom.

Oh.

Yes?

You keep old assignments, right?

Yeah.

And you were in mr. Raditch's english class?

Yeah, so?

Get to the point.

I was sort of wondering

If you could maybe let me borrow

One of your old papers?

It's strictly for research.

I just want to compare something.

Trust me.

Hi.

Hi.

Do you have it?

All right-- a b-plus!

The degrassi music club needs new members...

Wheels: Hey, joey--

Is that... Drugs?

What are you doing?

New zealand zappers.

The best.

Five bucks, come on.

No pay, no play.

No tip, no trip.

No pills...

No thrills.

Thanks...

Saving for college.

You tell anyone where you got these

And you'll be pushing up dandelions.

Go ahead.

Try them.

Instant insanity.

I thought you guys were street-wise--

Take the pill

Put it in your mouth

Swallow...

Oh, wow!

Mild!

Cool!

Very cool.

Come on, wheels.

Wheels: You all right?

Joey: Wow!

Mild...

Very cool.

You can go first.

No, you go first.

It was your idea.

Chicken?

If you're not, you go first.

How about if we both go first?

Okay.

Ready?

Now.

Feel anything?

Oh, yeah!

Cool!

Very cool!

You...?

For sure!

Mild...

Very mild...

What's the matter with you?

Are you crazy?

Crazy?

I mean, selling drugs?

Wheels, my man

Have a little faith.

Vitamin pills?

I saved these kids

From a life of destitution

And gave them nourishing vitamins.

Shh!

Mr. Raditch, sir?

Early?

Well, mr. Yu-the- disorganized, I'm impressed.

Arthur: Don't worry about the test.

But what if he finds out?

He won't find out.

Even if he does

It's a scientific experiment.

Nothing will go wrong.

Susie?

Very good, as usual.

Melanie?

Very imaginative.

Where do you get your ideas?

And finally, mr. Yu- the-disorganized.

An "a."

An a-minus, true

But an "a" nonetheless.

Congratulations, yick.

A real improvement.

Next week's assignment

Is going to be letters

And we're going to send a letter

To a world leader.

Behind me, you can see a copy

Of what a letter is to look like.

I got an a-minus

And stephanie got a b-plus

On the exact same paper.

That proves he doesn't hate you

Because you got a better mark than usual.

This proves he's an unfair marker.

The marks should be the same.

He still thinks I'm dumb.

He gave me too good a mark.

Maybe you should talk to him.

No way!

You got to keep giving me

Stephanie's papers.

Wait a minute--

Once is an experiment, but twice is cheating.

Come on, arthur.

I don't want any trouble.

All right!

See what my coaching's done?

I help you

You help me, right?

Who is it?

Arthur: It's me.

What do you want?

I brought back your paper.

Thanks.

Throw it on the desk.

Yes?

The experiment was successful

But the thing about experiments is...

They need to be replicated.

Replicated?

Done more than once.

To be sure.

So I was wondering if I could borrow another paper?

Arthur, are you in trouble?

No!

So forget it.

No more papers.

Steph, I don't tell mom

How you change your clothes every morning

And wear tons of makeup

When you're not supposed to...

That's blackmail!

Hey, good-looking.

Uh-oh...

I don't think they're too happy.

Hey, guys

I can explain...

We want some more.

They want some, too.

Okay.

Tomorrow morning.

You bring the money

I'll make you funny.

Next week is safety week.

Constable lawrence filey

Will speak in the resource center at lunchtime.

The subject will be "street smarts--

What they mean to you."

Attendance is highly recommended.

His presentation will include a short film

"skateboards and the law."

Morning, class.

Class: Good morning, mr. Raditch.

I'd like to give back your papers.

Thank you.

The papers generally were better.

I was particularly interested

In yours, mr. Yu.

I was quite taken by what you wrote.

It was clear...

Lucid.

Yes, I was impressed.

Not as impressed as last year

When I first read this paper.

Be quiet!

How did you get stephanie kaye's paper?

I'm waiting, mr. Yu.

I gave it to him.

Arthur?

It's your fault.

You're always giving me bad marks.

You got a good mark before.

It was stephanie's paper

And I got a different mark.

It's confusing when two people get different marks

On the same paper.

Literature is not an exact science.

You give people any mark you want.

You stereotype people.

Be quiet!

You're both talking nonsense.

You should never let

A perceived imperfection justify cheating.

I want a paper from both of you

On why you did this.

You will write that paper tonight

During detention

And you'll stay until it's finished.

Hi...

Joey...

We've got to talk.

Hey, stephanie!

Want to help me

Buy some new clothes?

I hear you've been selling drugs.

What?

Stephanie: I don't care what you think--

But drugs are dangerous.

You think I'm crazy?

I wouldn't sell drugs.

I wouldn't even take them.

I sold them vitamin pills.

But I heard they were stoned.

They just thought they were stoned.

You cheated them out of their money.

Joey: Lessons don't come cheap.

Woman: Mr. Raditch

May I speak with you?

I've never had detention.

My dad will be disappointed.

This is so unfair!

We're missing basketball practice.

It's all raditch's fault.

We did cheat.

It was an experiment.

I'm not going to do this.

I can't write papers.

You just have to try.

Whose side are you on?

See if I help you practice basketball again.

As if you had any hope.

You're the worst player.

At least I'm trying.

You're not trying-- you're cheating.

You never do any work.

You're just using mr. Raditch

As an excuse.

Come on!

If you want him to stop thinking you're dumb

Prove that you're not.

Bye, lou.

Bye.

Kathleen: I'm glad we didn't take real drugs.

Melanie: We spent ten dollars

On vitamin pills

And made complete fools of ourselves!

All students using the bike racks

Are reminded to lock their bikes.

Hey, guys!

Looking to buy some more?

Vitamins, huh?

It was a joke.

Can't you take a joke?

Ha-ha.

Where's our money?

We want it right now.

You do have our money

Don't you?

Sort of.

So where is it?

Well...

Like my new clothes?

You come back here, you little shrimp!

While there's a few minutes left

I'd like to read an assignment that one of you wrote.

I think it's very good.

"'stereotypes.'

"when you stereotype people

"you box them in instead of looking at them fresh.

"I know someone who's brainy.

"you think he's a nerd

"and can't play basketball.

"but he can.

"I've seen him.

"I know another kid who's good at sports

"but disorganized at school.

"you probably think he's dumb

"but he's not.

"especially when he really wants

"to accomplish something.

"maybe he has to try harder

"but he gets really discouraged

When people call him names."

On to your next class.

Yick...

Come here, please.

I think it's a good paper.

An "a" paper.

For real, this time.

I knew you had it in you.

How about

A clean slate?

We'll both start over.

I'll try harder.

You'll try harder.

And I'll stop calling you "mr. Yu-the-disorganized."

Deal?

Want to go practice basketball after school

Then have a milkshake?

If you're too busy...

No, I'm not.

Joey: Someone help me!

I'm stuck in the broom closet!

Get me out!

Please!

Drug-crazed zombies stole my clothes!

Hey, let me out!

What a broomhead!

Yeah.

Somebody get my clothes back!
