Did you know that three

Out of the ten longest rivers in the world

Empties into the arctic ocean--

And can you name them?

Kathleen.

Mr. Lawrence: Attention, students:

Next Thursday night, four of our finest minds

Take on liberman junior high

On the tv quiz show "quest for the best."

Let's all turn out to cheer them on

And wear our school colors.

Free tickets to the taping of "quest for the best"

Are available from doris bell.

But quantities are limited, so get yours early.

Hey, kathleen--

What's j.D. Salinger's best-known book?

Easy, the catcher in the rye.

Correct.

Here's your copy of a list of sample questions.

Thanks.

My parents are proud of me.

Mine too.

And mine.

They'll do something embarrassing.

My mom said she'd buy me a brand-new outfit.

Nobody will see it under your school sweater.

Sure they will.

We practice tomorrow at lunchtime.

Okay, but I don't need any practice.

"I don't need any practice."

She's weird sometimes.

She's a jerk.

Yeah, but she's good to have on our team.

She knows a lot.

You made it past the army of antron?

Then the one-eyed monster got me.

I can't figure it out, max.

Why not poison him?

I don't know if my computer can.

Last time I played dungeons and dragons...

Dungeons and dragons?

That's for nerds.

Very uncool.

Almost as bad as having a wagon.

It's for my paper routes!

I don't feel like a nerd, do you?

No.

But when the other nerds

Call us nerds--

We're in trouble.

I bet rick's never been called a nerd.

No way-- he's as cool as a popsicle.

I know-- we'll be like him.

How?

What rick does, we do.

I don't know, max--

What if he does something really weird?

Okay, nancy--

Where are the sierra nevada mountains?

I know that one.

Wait your turn.

Spain?

Correct.

Okay, we're ahead.

Kathleen.

Is alcohol a depressant or a stimulant?

A depressant.

It sure stimulates my parents sometimes.

Mine, too.

Drinking is stupid.

It's okay in moderation.

Yeah, my parents have wine with dinner.

Well, I'll never drink.

There's your ticket for tomorrow night's taping.

Really root for them

And all of you wear your school sweaters.

Thanks, doris.

And there's one for you.

"quest for the best," boy!

Free tickets!

Sorry.

Would luella hawkins please phone the principal's office?

Luella hawkins.

Give me that.

Got any money?

What for?

For cigarettes, dummy.

What?

You want to be cool, right?

Well, rick smokes and he's cool.

But smoking is hazardous to your health.

Scooter, buddy--

If you want to be cool

You've got to take some risks.

Ah, there you are.

You practicing?

Yeah.

Good.

This is a tape of last week's show.

It's your competition.

Great.

Thanks a lot, ms. Avery.

You're welcome.

This is great.

Where can we watch it?

What about here?

The machine's broken.

We've got company at my house.

We don't have a vcr.

Neither do we.

We can't go to my house.

Why not?

Yeah, you've got a vcr.

You bragged about it.

My mom isn't feeling well.

We'll be quiet.

Yeah.

Don't you want to win?

Come on, kathleen, please?

Tomorrow's the show.

We have to see it.

Come on, kathleen.

But I heard it stunts your growth

And I don't want yellow teeth, either.

Scooter! Come on.

So-- what kind do you want?

I don't care.

Come on!

Stupid machine.

Hey!

Come on--

We got to go.

Hey!

We got to go.

It's got our money!

Now! Come on!

Come on in.

Give me the tape.

This place is a mess.

The maid's off.

I told you-- my mom isn't feeling well.

Well, sit down.

It's time to play "quest for the best"

With your host, quizmaster bill beaumont!

Nancy: This guy's pretty scary-looking.

No competition.

Which team are we playing?

Liberman.

...The quiz show that lets students test their knowledge...

That guy looks pretty stupid.

He's scary- looking, actually.

...St. Mary's junior high

And liberman junior high.

He's pretty cute.

This question goes to liberman.

In which country would you find transylvania?

Romania, right?

I think so, yeah.

Bulgaria?

Wrong answer.

That was easy.

This team's no competition.

Caitlin: That's the team we're playing?

Michi?

Romania?

Correct!

For double point value.

I actually didn't know that.

For the st. Mary's team this time

What do the initials u.S.S.R. Stand for?

Tony.

Union of soviet socialist republics.

This is the "quest for the best" team, mom.

You should go to bed.

You look sick.

I feel fine.

Well, if they're so smart, why don't they say anything?

Mom, come on-- let's go upstairs.

I was smart, too, when I was in school.

Then I got married.

Mom!

Mom: First comes love...

Then comes marriage...

Then comes kathleen in a baby carriage.

Mom, go to bed, please.

No, I want to stay and talk.

I think we should go.

Yeah.

Nice to meet you.

What's wrong with you guys?

Stay and talk.

Bye, kathleen.

Don't worry.

We don't need to watch the tape.

Sorry!

What a boring bunch.

Sorry.

Kathleen?

Would you turn the tv down?

Mommy's got a headache.

Correct!

Hey, check this out!

Nice sweater!

That's his color-- I like it.

It's you.

Caitlin--

You want to go for a burger

After the show?

Sure.

Don't sound so excited.

I'm sorry, I'd love to go.

Great.

See you.

Rick?

Remember when you had problems with your dad?

Yes-- that's why I live with my brother.

Were you happy when the social worker butted in?

Why?

Kathleen's mom acted really weird yesterday.

I think she was drunk.

Caitlin--

That's kathleen's problem.

Maybe she needs someone to talk to.

If she wants to talk, she'll talk.

I say butt out.

Scooter...

Look.

Where did you get them?

I kind of borrowed them from my dad.

After school, boy's washroom.

Be there, or be a nerd.

Don't forget.

Who wrote romeo and juliet?

William shakespeare.

In what city was john f. Kennedy assassinated?

So, nervous about tonight?

Dallas.

Is your mom feeling better?

Yes.

Was your mom drunk

Last night?

Because remember in family studies--

About the group

That helps kids cope with alcoholic parents?

My mom's just fine, caitlin.

I don't need any help.

Fine.

I just thought I'd tell you.

Do what you want.

I don't care.

Ms. Avery: Good morning, class.

Class: Good morning.

Attention, students.

This is your principal mr. Lawrence speaking

With a reminder to show off your degrassi school spirit

Not to mention those degrassi school sweaters

At tonight's taping of "quest for the best."

Go get 'em, guys.

Can I help you?

Let's go.

Weird, man.

Come on.

Don't burn off my eyebrows!

Don't be so nervous.

You've got to inhale, or it won't light.

Is this great, or what?

( coughing ): Yeah, real fun.

There you are.

You look great.

Are you ready?

Yeah.

Where's kathleen?

Kathleen, hi.

Where's your sweater?

Oh. Um... I forgot it.

Wonderful.

Ms. Avery: Can you get it?

I'll call my mom-- she'll bring it.

Good, good-- go, go!

Let's wait for her outside.

Hi, doris.

Can I use the phone?

Be my guest.

Thanks.

Doris, can we have some tickets

For the game show tonight?

Sorry, boys-- all gone.

They're all gone?

If you'd come a little earlier...

Gone? Oh no, this is terrible.

I had big plans for tonight.

Hello.

Hi, mom, I forgot my school sweater.

Can you bring it?

Of course-- bring it where?

To the taping.

Oh.

Are you feeling okay?

Yeah, just fine.

Great, see you soon?

Bye. Bye.

Thanks.

I feel gross.

You look green.

I will never, ever, ever smoke

Another dumb cigarette.

I know, and I was supposed to take caitlin out

After the show.

Hey, rick--

We've got tickets.

We're sick, so you can have them.

Great!

Thanks, buddies.

He called us "buddies!"

Move the monitor, please.

I'll check the mikes.

Nancy: I can't believe how nervous I am.

Hi, rick.

There's my mom and dad.

There's my mom.

She's talking with your parents.

Your mom better bring that sweater soon.

Degrassi junior high...

Yes.

Please take a seat.

But I don't have my sweater.

My mom's bringing it.

I'm sorry, please take your seats.

We are about to go to air.

Without my sweater we'll look awful.

We'll be fine, don't worry.

It's okay.

Take your seat please, sir!

Yeah, yeah.

Here--

Wear my sweater.

Thanks.

Come, come, come.

Okay, okay!

Director: In ten seconds.

Nine, eight

Seven, six, five

Four...

It's time to play "quest for the best"

And now, here's your host

Quizmaster bill beaumont!

Welcome to "quest for the best"

Where the top young minds from around our city

Test their knowledge.

Competing today are students

From liberman junior high

And degrassi junior high.

First question.

Degrassi-- who inherited the throne of scotland

At the age of six days?

Nancy: Kathleen--

Who inherited...?

Your time's up-- liberman?

Kathleen, pay attention.

Mary, queen of scots?

That's correct!

Because you answered

Degrassi's question

That's double the points!

Okay, liberman this time--

Name the benelux countries.

Your time is up.

Degrassi?

Come on!

Belgium, the netherlands and luxembourg.

That's absolutely correct!

Either team--

What's the most looked-at painting

In the louvre?

Degrassi, kathleen.

The mona lisa?

Correct again.

Another toss-up question for either team...

We won!

You guys were so good!

You were great!

There's my parents.

See you tomorrow.

Bye.

You were great!

Good night.

Good-bye.

You were really good too, kathleen.

Thank you.

Too bad about your mom.

Yeah.

Kathleen, you were great!

Thank you.

Caitlin, you were great too.

Thanks.

Come on, let's go.

I can't.

There's my mom.

She says I can't.

Some other time, though, okay?

Bye.

Bye.

Rick?

Here's your sweater.

It's cold, you wear it, give it to me tomorrow.

Thanks.

Kathleen, wait.

I'll walk you.

You don't have to feel sorry for me.

I wouldn't let anyone walk home alone in the dark.

Even you.

So what happened to your mom?

She'll definitely be there next time.

Oh, really?

We're very close.

Even though she's an alcoholic?

She is not!

Who told you?

It's not true.

Nobody's parents are perfect, you know.

Look, it's good you take care of your mom

But you have to take care of you, too.

Isn't there some place you can call

For something like that?

I mean, I had problems with my dad.

I got help...

Kathleen, is that you?

Where have you been?

Tonight was the tv show, which you forgot.

Oh, sweetheart, I'm sorry.

I was so tired.

How did you do?

We won.

Wonderful!

I'll be there next time.

No, you won't.

You never do what you say you will.

I want you to be proud of me.

I try so hard, but you don't even care!

Kathleen, of course I care.

No, you don't-- I have to do everything myself.

You're old enough to take care of yourself.

I'm 13, I'm a kid!

You're certainly acting like a kid right now.

Causing trouble.

It's not me that's causing trouble.

It's your drinking.

My drinking is perfectly under control.

Don't talk to your mother like that.

You're not my mother, you're a drunk!

Oh!

Baby, I'm so sorry.

I didn't mean to hurt you.

Kathleen!

Congratulations, kathleen.

Thanks.

You were great.

Congratulations.

Thanks.

I didn't think we'd win...

Hi, that was good.

Thanks.

You were great.

Kathleen--

How's your mom?

Fine-- she had a perfectly good reason for not being there.

Really?

Yes, caitlin, really.

Rick: Hi, guys.

Rick.

I'm sorry about last night.

You know my dumb parents.

That's the way parents are, right?

Rick...

Here's your sweater back.

Thanks.

Thanks for walking me home.

You walked her home?

Yeah.

I'm going to call that group, rick.

Great!

Yeah, well, it's a start, I guess.
