Mom: Hello, arthur?

I'm so glad I caught you.

Could you come here today after school?

I know it's not the weekend yet

But I need to talk to you.

Okay, bye, arthur.

Stephanie, your brother's coming for dinner tonight...

Stephanie, why aren't you up yet?

You'll be late for school.

I don't feel like going.

What's the matter with you these days?

Are you sick?

You feel cool.

Come on, get up.

I wish I was dead.

? 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 ?

? at degrassi junior high. ?

Steph!

Do you know

Why mom wants me to come for dinner?

Buzz off, arthur.

You said you would be nice.

Well, I changed my mind.

Wait!

I've got something.

A puppy?

His name is phil.

Arthur, they don't allow pets here.

He's very quiet.

Leave it open a bit.

I'm not a little kid.

You're only 12.

12 is not so little.

At least you're not a grouch, phil.

Hey, yick, I've got something

To show you.

( on p.A. System: ) this is your principal, mr. Lawrence.

Our thought for the day is "be yourself."

It's the first step toward being the best self you can be.

How was the movie?

We didn't go.

Mom went out with jerry instead.

He's such a phony.

She never talks to me anymore.

Does your mom know how you feel?

Are you kidding?

Meanwhile, my dad, who I don't like

Wants custody of me.

My life is a disaster.

I might as well kill myself.

Don't joke about that.

Who's joking?

Greetings, aspiring scholars.

I have good news and bad news.

First, the good news--

We're near the end of the school year.

The bad news is

That you have to survive the exam first.

Open your textbooks to chapter 61.

Ms. Avery: For some of you

This will be the first time you've written exams.

If you've been keeping up, you should have no trouble.

If not

Come and see me.

I'm sure we can arrange for some extra tutoring.

Arthur, open that bag.

This bag?

Yes.

Arthur!

I think you'd better go see mr. Lawrence.

Miss avery...

Now! Move.

Girl: He's so cute!

Arthur brought a dog to school.

Mr. Lawrence: If I see that dog on school property again

You are going to regret it.

Is that clear?

Crystal.

Bye, sir.

Mr. Lawrence: Doris, mr. Kobalewscuy

Will be leaving a dog in your care

To be picked up at the end of the day.

Be good, phil.

I'll be back later to pick you up.

Don't get into any trouble

And try not to leak on anybody.

Mr. Raditch: What made t.S. Eliot one of the greatest poets of our time?

One critic said

That he didn't write poetry

That he wrote whispers.

Some of the things he whispered

Were very scary.

Some of our greatest literary works

Can be attributed to t.S. Eliot

And rumor has it that he used to hand in

A heck of a book report

To his english teacher.

Miss kaye, stay behind, please.

A reminder that school sweaters are still available

From the main office.

School spirit is always in fashion.

Your attitude seems to have changed.

You've lost interest.

Is something bothering you?

Are you having trouble with the subject matter?

Is being school president

Taking up too much time?

Is something wrong at home?

No, everything's fine.

So then there's no reason

For this to be happening.

Okay. Go.

Stephanie...

If you need to talk to someone--

Me, or anyone else-- we're all here.

Can I go?

Here she comes.

What did he want?

To hassle me.

We're going to see

These two guys we met.

You want to come?

They're really cute.

And really nice.

I'd probably be in the way.

No, come on!

Maybe they've got a friend.

What's the point?

My relationships never work.

Heather: I'm worried about her.

I know what you mean.

Have you seen the way

She's been dressing?

Is she serious about killing herself?

No, she's just doing it to get attention.

Talking about suicide is a danger sign.

You know steph.

She overdramatizes everything.

It couldn't be that bad.

Come on, phil.

He smells gross!

You'd smell gross

If you spent the day in a gym bag.

What will you do with him?

Maybe I can leave him at my mom's.

Come on, phil.

You need a walk in the park.

Girl: What a cute puppy!

Phil!

Yick: I'd hate it if my parents got divorced.

It's okay once you get used to it.

But living with only one parent

And seeing the other on weekends?

Joint custody is great.

I get to live with my dad.

Does he still want custody of steph?

Yes, him and my mom are still fighting.

Come on, phil.

Wow, those are beautiful.

They're from jerry.

Good old jerry.

Stephanie...

Hi, mom.

Meet phil.

What a smelly little puppy!

Where has he been?

You don't want to know.

Well, he can't come in here.

Tie him up outside.

He doesn't like

To be lonely.

Outside, arthur.

But mom...

He's afraid of the leaves.

They get stuck in his fur.

He doesn't like the wind and cold.

This is really good, mom.

Want some more?

I know lasagna is your favorite.

I'm sure your father never makes it.

Actually, he does.

But this is better.

Can't phil come in?

No.

Don't you like the lasagna?

You've only had a mouthful.

I'm on a diet.

You need to eat.

No I don't!

Stop trying to bully me.

Now look here...

Mom, is this a special occasion?

Yes, it is.

As you know, I've been seeing jerry.

He's a wonderful man.

What would you think

If he and I got married?

You've only dated him for two months.

Sometimes you just know something is right.

We'd have a proper home, all of us.

But I live with dad.

Your father has no idea

How to take care of a child.

Think of it--

All of us, together again.

Arthur: What about phil?

What's going to happen to him?

Stephanie, are you out of bed yet?

Yes.

Better hurry.

I'm off.

Remember, jerry's coming over tonight

To meet arthur.

Yick: They've been going out for two months

And you haven't met him yet?

Arthur: My mother sees us on the weekends

And him during the week.

If they get married, he'll be your stepfather.

I'm meeting him tonight.

Will your mom make you live with her?

I hope not.

I like things the way they are.

Shh!

Phil?

I thought you were leaving him

At your mom's.

I didn't ask her.

The timing wasn't right.

If mr. Lawrence finds out...

I've got a plan.

You know the boiler room?

I'll tie him up down there.

Mr. Raditch: "when in disgrace with fortune in men's eyes

"I all alone beweep my outcast state

"and trouble death heaven with my bootless cries

"and look upon myself and curse my fate

"wishing me like to one more rich in hope

"featured like him with friends possessed

"as I read...

Where's steph?

I don't know.

Maybe she's sick.

"...Yet in these thoughts, myself almost despising

"happily, I think on thee

"and then my state

"like to the lark at break of day

"rising from sullen earth

"sings hymns at heaven's gate

While I sweet love remembered such wealth brings..."

Shhh!

Shhh!

What happens if your mom won't let you keep phil?

Maybe you should give him to the humane society.

No way!

I can take care of him.

Phil?

Phil?

He's gone!

I left him tied up right here.

Phil!

Phil?

Looking for this?

Dogs are not allowed in the school.

You'd better go see mr. Lawrence.

Go on.

And you better get that dog off school property.

Mr. Lawrence: Get that dog off school property!

It won't happen again.

Your dumb dog

Keeps leaking.

He's not dumb.

He can't help it.

I have to take him home.

You get to go home early?

I have detention all next week.

So, I get detention

All the time.

Will you send in mr. Yu, please?

Your turn.

Here we go again.

Have a seat, mr. Yu.

I've never been sent home early before

And detentions all next week!

What am I going to do with you, phil?

I can't take you to my mom's.

I've got nowhere to put you.

Let's go to the park.

I need to think.

Come on, phil.

Steph!

What are you doing here?

I didn't feel like coming to school.

Mom will be mad.

I could kill myself and she wouldn't care.

That's not true.

What are you doing here?

Taking phil for a walk.

Arthur...

Mr. Lawrence didn't approve of him.

What did you expect?

Steph?

Will I like jerry?

I don't know.

Will I have to call him dad?

Arthur, I don't know.

Leave me alone.

I've got my own problems.

Thanks a lot, steph.

We're supposed to be related.

I'd help you if I could.

Come on, phil.

A low-cut wedding dress?

I haven't thought...

Hello?

Arthur, what are you doing here so early?

School ended early.

I don't want that dog

In my house.

Mom...

Arthur, right?

I'm jerry.

How you doing?

Fine.

What a cute little dog.

What's his name?

Phil.

You smell!

I want him outside.

Mom!

We can solve this problem.

Have you got a hose?

In the back.

Let's clean him up.

But that's cold water.

Dogs can handle cold water.

Your mom tells me

You're quite a baseball fan.

Maybe we can go to a game sometime.

I usually go with my dad.

Stephanie...

Could you help me with dinner?

What a cutie!

Little wet, though.

You smell better, anyway.

I think we should talk.

Mom, I'm fine, okay?

We don't need to talk.

Arthur, dogs are creatures of habit.

So don't start feeding him scraps.

Feed him dog food.

It's cheaper.

Okay.

Hi, steph.

That hose is in bad shape.

We'll have to get a new one.

Excuse me.

"we"?

I had a dog

Whose name was ruff...

Who cares?

I've had all I can take.

Fine, I'll kill myself.

Don't say that.

Mom, she is right.

It's hard on us.

Stay out of this.

Why should I?

It's my problem, too.

You don't have to change your bedroom and move.

Jerry, I'm sorry.

It's okay.

I understand.

"I understand."

Stephanie!

It's always jerry!

You're so selfish.

Mom: Look who's talking!

Stephanie: I'm not making everything change.

Come on, phil, let's get out of this place.

You're not the only person

In the world.

Don't I have the right

To be happy?

And your brother?

Where is he?

He'll just disappear...

Arthur?

This is why he should live here.

I'll find him.

No, you don't.

He's my brother, I'll find him.

Arthur!

We should run away, you and I

Where nobody can shout or yell at us.

The only problem is, I wouldn't get any allowance

And dog food is expensive.

What are we going to do, phil?

Hi.

Go away.

Leave me alone.

I'm sorry.

I was so busy worrying about me, I forgot it's worse for you.

I don't want things to change.

I like living with dad.

I thought everything would be okay

After the divorce.

Me, too.

I'll have to get rid of phil.

If I cleaned up my act

Mom wouldn't mind phil.

Really?

Yes.

We'll talk to mom together.

After all

We're supposed to be related, right?
