That's real music.

Not like your rock noise, derek.

That's why we got you a good record.

Thanks, mom.

Can't wait to hear it.

Did you ever think rock music was part of an alien plot

To take over the world?

Right, dad.

No, I'm serious.

In the good old days, music was really music.

What about perry como?

Mel torme-- there's a singer.

Wheeler residence.

Hello.

Hello.

Anyone there?

Hello, anyone there?

They hung up.

That's strange.

That happened earlier today.

? 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 ?

? at degrassi junior high. ?

What did you get for your birthday?

My mom made me a big chocolate cake

And I got some clothes.

And mom and dad got me a guitar strap.

That's neat.

It's excellent.

What color is it?

It's kind of like...

I'm not really sure.

It's got brown in it.

That's neat.

You play guitar?

I'm in a band.

Me and snake play guitar.

Joey plays keyboard.

Wheels.

Hey, snake.

I thought of a name for our band.

Ladies and gentleman, from degrassi junior high--

It's snake and the charmers.

I don't think joey will like it.

Joey knows nothing about names.

We've got to decide.

The talent show's soon.

We'll be fabulous.

All right.

Did you

See that guy outside?

He was looking at you.

Looking at me?

Probably some pervert.

Watch out for him.

If I see him again, I'll report him.

How was your report card?

Not great. You?

Dr. John lincoln from the board of health

Will be giving a lecture on scalp hygiene

In the cafeteria at lunchtime.

Hey, joey, what are you doing?

I forgot to show my report card to my parents.

It's due in today.

I guess I'll have to sign it.

That bad?

Wish I had your parents.

Mine have got zero sense of humor.

I've got a great name for the band.

Joey and the joy buzzers.

Is that a name?

I don't think snake will like it.

Snake!

That guy knows nothing about names.

What do you think?

Good luck.

Class 7b congratulates miss norcross--

Their homeroom teacher

On the birth of...

What did shane say?

He hardly talks to me.

It's his baby, too.

What should I do?

I'm too young to have a baby.

I don't want to be a mother.

I don't want an abortion, either.

What about your mom?

What would you say?

You had a miscarriage?

What did your parents say when they saw this?

Nothing.

Nothing?

They're not too concerned about school and stuff.

I'll see if I can get them concerned on parents' night.

Don't be worried about parents' night.

It's no conspiracy.

Before you go

Ms. Avery reminds everyone involved

In the parents' night talent show

That rehearsal begins in the gym in five minutes.

Class dismissed.

I forgot about parents' night.

Don't be depressed.

You'd be depressed

If your parents were going to kill you.

They'll probably just break your arm.

I was just trying to make everyone's life easier.

Parents' night was announced on the report cards.

Your parents never saw your card.

Yeah.

What if they "wrote" a note

Saying they couldn't come?

I like it.

It's crazy.

We'll be late for rehearsal.

Come on.

I don't know about this.

He talked about it once.

Wheels doesn't mind being adopted.

It hasn't hurt him.

He was lucky.

He's got nice parents.

Many nice people can't have babies

But want them.

You don't want the baby or an abortion.

You have no choice.

It wouldn't hurt to talk.

Are you ready?

Two.

Three.

Four.

? I'm phyllis... ?

? I'm fran... ?

? we're going south to get a man... ?

Off the top.

More energy, and louder.

They have to hear you in the back.

Get the beat.

Two

Three, four.

? I'm phyllis... ?

? I'm fran... ?

? we're going south to get a man... ?

What's wrong with shooting our video

On a building?

It's been done a billion times.

Where do you want to do it?

In a studio

With smoke machines and dancing girls.

Do you rent your ideas from bozo?

Let's get the song right before we do the video.

We've got to be ready.

When fame hits, it's like a thunderbolt.

Wheels?

Can we talk for a minute?

Sure.

Joey: I bet you want a dream sequence.

Snake: What's wrong with a dream sequence?

You know I'm pregnant, right?

I'm thinking about putting the baby up for adoption.

Seeing as you're adopted

Could I ask you some stuff?

Sure.

Do you think about your real parents?

Sometimes.

Do you know anything about them

Or what happened?

Not really.

My dad said they were too young to keep me.

I was born at 6:00 a.M.

You're not mad at them for giving you up?

No.

I don't think so.

? and since he's got to be just right ?

? we stayed up all last night making up the requirements. ?

Okay, not so bad.

It needs work

But we'll rehearse.

Don't get discouraged.

Okay, joey, snake...

Wheels.

You're up next.

If you have any more questions, just ask.

Thanks, wheels.

I hope you guys know your music this time.

Five, six, seven, eight.

Sounds awful.

That was the best rehearsal we've had.

We've never played that well.

You're derek, right?

Derek wheeler?

I'm mike nelson.

I'm your dad.

No, wait-- it's true.

You were born at eastern general

At 6:00 a.M. On a Friday.

Your middle name is michael.

Let me show you something.

That's your birth necklace.

They put it on you when you were born.

This is fake.

No, it's real.

I just want to talk.

What if I don't want to?

You don't have to.

But if you want to

Call me at this number.

I really hope you call.

Mrs. Wheeler: Derek, have you done your homework?

Um, I'm just doing it.

I don't like to nag

But your report card wasn't very good.

Your dad and I are worried about your marks.

It's okay. I'm almost done.

Supper will be ready in about 15 minutes.

Okay.

Don't you like traveling?

I like traveling.

If we want to sell albums, we've got to tour.

It will be great.

We'll have groupies...

And t-shirts saying, "joey and the joybuzzers."

"snake and the charmers."

Whatever.

My parents won't let me miss that much school.

Rock stars don't have to go to school.

Whoever stole the "reserved" sign

From mr. Raditch's parking spot...

Hey, wheels.

Check it out.

I typed it myself.

"dear mr. Raditch

"we regret to inform you

"we can't attend parent/teacher night

Due to having a highly-communicable disease."

Am I a genius?

Great, joey.

What's wrong?

Remember that guy you told me about--

Watching me?

He says he's my real dad.

Are you serious?

You sure he's for real?

There are lots of weirdos around.

He knows stuff about me.

And he gave me this.

What is it?

My birth necklace.

Your parents know?

No.

Wow.

This is great.

Wish I was adopted.

My parents are boring.

We could do a song about this.

This is research!

This is good, wheels.

Yeah!

Shh!

Spike: The way he acts, it's like nothing happened.

He's got to have some opinion.

He wants you to have the abortion?

I don't think so.

He wants the baby?

No, I think he wishes it would all go away.

So do I.

But it won't.

He was okay

Till he found out I really was pregnant.

I just wish he'd talk to me.

Don't worry, it will be a cinch.

I don't think I should call.

Don't you want to talk to him?

Can I speak to mike, please?

Oh, uh... Hi.

This is derek.

Mike: We're in town for a couple of weeks.

Come see us.

Woman: I'll do that.

Nice to see you again, opal.

Good to have you back.

Pretty neat, eh?

We both like chocolate milk shakes.

Must be heredity.

So what did you want to talk about?

She's pretty, eh?

Where is she now?

I don't know.

Kind of lost touch.

We were just 16.

No way we could have raised you right.

When we had to let you go

That really hurt.

Made sure you had a good family, though.

Met them once.

Did you and my mom ever think of not having me?

Yeah.

When she got pregnant, we were really scared.

We were kids.

We wanted to do the right thing

But we didn't know what that was.

I'm still a kid!

Who else would travel around playing in a band?

You're in a band? Yeah.

What do you play?

Rock, mostly.

I'm a drummer.

I play bass.

No kidding?

Now that's heredity.

How did you find me?

I thought you weren't supposed to know where I was.

We weren't supposed to, but I found out

Kind of by accident.

Whenever I'm in town, I check the phone book

Make sure you're still here.

You called yesterday.

Yeah, I didn't know what to say when you answered.

Well, thanks for the milk shake.

Hey, we rehearse afternoons.

We're not bad

For a bar band.

Why don't you come and check it out?

Really?

How about tomorrow?

Great!

Thanks!

See you tomorrow.

See you later, derek.

Yeah, joey, he's really nice.

I like him, I think.

And he's in a rock band.

Yeah, a real rock band.

He plays the drums.

He invited me to his rehearsal tomorrow.

You want to come?

How on earth did you get them?

Bob's wife works for a company that books rock concerts.

You're sure you don't mind?

I could try to get another ticket.

Mom: No, thank you. Great!

Tomorrow. Bye.

Hey, derek, ever heard of "the gourmet scum"?

Of course, they're amazing!

I've got two tickets to their concert tomorrow night.

I'll pick you up after school.

We can have dinner and catch the show.

Uh, tomorrow?

I can't.

I've got, uh, a talent show rehearsal.

It's kind of important.

Well, if it's that important.

Yeah, sorry, dad.

Spike: This is half your responsibility, too.

Face the fact that it's really happening.

What do you want me to do?

I can't do much more...

Snake and the sneeze?

That's a stupid name for a band.

Are you kidding?

Snake and the sneeze is fabulous!

What's wrong with joey and the jumpstarts?

Snake and the sneeze has got class.

A cold symptom has class?

Snake and the sneeze...

Hey, wheels.

What's happening?

What's up?

My dad invited me to a concert with him...

Tonight.

Aren't we going to see your other dad?

Mike's not my dad, okay?

I already got a dad.

Yeah, sure.

I'm sorry.

I said I couldn't come because we have a band rehearsal

Which we don't.

I lied to my parents.

Wheels, man

It won't hurt just once.

Your parents will never know.

Yeah, but I'll know.

Wheels, come on!

How many times do you see a real live band?

Derek, good to see you.

Guys, check it out.

This is derek...

My kid.

Band members: You never said you had a kid.

That's his old man.

He sure looks like you.

Do we have to call you dad?

I belong to my mom and dad.

I'm not his. Hey, wheels...

Look...

Stay away from me!

What'd you come back for?

You're messing everything up.

I'm not trying to.

I care about you.

Yeah, right.

That's why you

Got rid of me?

I was a mistake.

And I don't want your stupid necklace!

Hey, wheels!

Wheels, wait up, man.

Hey, wheels!

Come on, man.

Forget it, joey.

I'm not going back...

Ever.

They're a real band.

Mom: There he is.

Derek, will you come in here, please?

We'd like to talk with you.

Honey, everything is going to be all right.

What?

Mike telephoned.

He apologized for any trouble he caused

As well he might.

You mustn't feel guilty.

It's okay to be interested in your background.

Mom: You know we love you, and we know you love us.

We'll help you learn more.

Don't you want me anymore?

Of course we want you.

Then what is he saying?

I don't want mike!

I want you!

I wish things were like the way they were!

Arthur lovski, report to the principal's office.

We are not calling it joey and the jellybeans.

We're not calling it snake and the snaps, either.

It sounds like breakfast.

Breakfast?

Mr. Jeremiah...

Hi, mr. Raditch.

Real shame my parents can't come to parents' night, eh?

The note was so sad

That I just called your parents to express my sympathy.

They were very curious about the note

And they promised to be here on parents' night.

Joey...

Joey...

When will you ever learn

That we're just trying to help you?

I don't like being told what to do!

You didn't get pregnant by yourself!

One dumb mistake and you're in charge of my life?

I thought you liked me.

I do, but we're only 14.

And we're not in love or anything.

You want to make the decisions, fine!

What happened?

Shane and I aren't going to see each other anymore.

I still might put the baby up for adoption.

But what if I love it too much to give away?

Just do what's right.

I just don't know what that is.

If I do give it up for adoption

I'd like to meet it later on

Just to explain why I had to give it up.

Do you think that's wrong?

No.

Hey, mom...

Yes.

You know tomorrow is parents' night, right?

Of course.

Are you and dad staying to watch us play after?

We wouldn't miss it for the world.

My son, the star.

Well, not yet.

You don't see it through our eyes.

Just hang on for a second, guys.

I'm sorry, man.

I should have talked to your parents first.

I was afraid they'd say that I couldn't see you.

Kind of selfish of me.

I make a lot of mistakes.

This is really complicated.

Tell me about it.

Is it okay if we don't see each other

For a bit?

Yeah... Sure.

I'd like to talk to my parents

But I'd like to call you sometime...

Later.

Okay.

Yeah, see you later.

See you, derek.

Most of my friends call me wheels.

Okay...

Wheels.

You still got my necklace?

Your necklace?

Yeah...

My necklace.
