Original subtitles

Man: Michael! No, no, I'm glad you called.

We're just having dinner, but I want to get this resolved.

Yeah... No, you're right, absolutely.

Oh, by the way, I want lynne at the meeting.

She's done a lot of the research.

Okay.

I'll grab an early flight

And a cab downtown.

Righto.

Good-bye.

So-- how long are you with us this time?

Off again tomorrow, I'm afraid.

Oh... Great.

Father: Look, I'm sorry.

You know that travel is part of the job.

( sarcastically ): Part of the job?

A father and husband who's never home.

Can I be excused?

But, kathleen, you've hardly eaten a thing.

Dad, I'm full.

I've got to work on my project

For the science fair.

She's so skinny-- are you feeding her?

Oh, so you're blaming me again?

Why don't you do your share?

Father: Why can't we do this together?

Mother: Right, I agree!

Father: Where do you think the burden is?

You sit and drink scotch all day

While I make a living.

Mother: That's not fair, it's not fair!

You're so fat.

? 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. ?

Kathleen, where's the fire?

I was just getting some exercise.

Oh... Good for you.

I know the resource center doesn't open

For ten minutes, but the science fair is tomorrow

And I really want to do well.

Come on, I'll open it up for you.

Principal: All students are reminded that today's classes are canceled

To allow everyone extra time to prepare their projects

For the science fair.

It is not an excuse for undue socializing.

Thank you.

Hi, alexa.

Simon-- tell me the truth.

Am I too fat?

No.

Are you sure?

I feel fat.

The girls in here are so skinny.

You look okay to me.

Wouldn't I look better if I lost five pounds?

I don't know.

Maybe?

Maybe?!

You think I'm fat!

No, I was just...

How can you say such a thing?

I didn't think I did.

Give me a week-- I'll lose five pounds.

Uh... Okay.

Would all staff please remember today's lunchtime meeting?

Science fairs are supposed to be fun

But kathleen is driving me crazy.

Why didn't you change partners?

We signed up in the fall

And changes weren't allowed.

She's always writing in that diary.

I wonder what's in it.

I bet it's about boys.

Yeah...

All the boys

That didn't ask her out.

Anyway, here goes.

Okay, good luck.

Bye.

What boy are you writing about now?

It's not about a boy.

Is it about me?

No, why would I write about you?

And it's none of your business.

Have you finished the chart yet?

No, not yet.

Well, get to work-- the fair's tomorrow.

Relax, it'll get done.

It has to be perfect.

I want to win.

Right.

Simon says I'm fat.

Alexa, you're not fat.

I am!

I'm going to lose five pounds in a week.

You do not need to diet.

And be careful.

Crash diets are very unhealthy.

Here we go again.

Well, it's true.

Our project is on eating disorders.

Heather's obsessed.

I am not!

Anorexia is serious.

It affects 5% of all women and young girls.

My sister, the talking pamphlet.

Alexa: Anorexia!

I'd love to have

A little anorexia.

Just for a week.

Alexa...

Anorexia is a disease.

It can kill you.

Really?

Garcia: Let's get started.

Those of you who wish to work in the library

Please sign this sheet.

There.

Kathleen, I'm done.

What do you think?

Good, it's lunchtime.

Want to get something to eat?

I'm not hungry.

How come you never eat?

Because I've got willpower.

Jealous?

No.

There's a spelling mistake.

"incinerators"-- it's with a "c," not an "s."

I've got white-out.

No, it's too messy!

No, it isn't.

No one will notice.

You don't want me to start over.

Yes.

Kathleen! That took me hours.

You've just ruined it!

It has to be perfect.

Where are you going?

To have lunch!

...The meeting at which I will be speaking is now under way

And there are plenty of seats.

Caitlin: She wrecked it?

She is such a control freak.

Everything she does has to be so perfect.

I know her mom's an alcoholic

But it's still no excuse.

She is so mean.

Don't even try to understand her.

This is kathleen--

The wicked witch of degrassi.

Guys! Listen to this!

It says here

If you stop drinking liquids, you'll lose five pounds!

Except that it doesn't stay off

And it's really bad for you.

You sound like a documentary.

Alexa-- why don't you just exercise?

Exercise?

I hate exercise!

Sweat's so ugly.

Hey, luce--

Want to eat with us?

No thanks, I already ate.

Anyway, clutch is coming over.

See? She's always making excuses

For not eating.

Heather, she's already eaten.

How do we know that's true?

I'm so hungry.

The rescheduling of this staff meeting until tomorrow

Should allow all teachers sufficient notice...

You can take your projects to the gym now or in the morning.

Have you noticed what I've noticed?

What?

Jill got the healthy food

And she got fat.

Jack got the junk food

And he's still thin.

This could make an impressive argument for my mother.

We'd be done if you hadn't ruined my chart.

I told you, it wasn't good enough.

Kathleen, have you finished typing that report?

No, sorry, but I'll have it for you tomorrow.

If you're too busy...

No, I can do it.

Okay, but we need it the day after tomorrow.

Let's go to your house for once.

Don't worry about the chart, I'll do it myself.

No, it's my project, too.

Okay, we'll go to your house.

No, we always go there.

Besides, my mom's having company tonight.

So?

So she has to clean.

There's nowhere

For us to work.

Okay, we'll go to my house.

But my mom isn't feeling well.

Forget it, simon.

Why can't we go out?

Give me a week, I'll lose the weight.

Why are you doing this?

Simon, you're the one who told me

I was a fat lump.

I did?

Hey, luce--

Do you want to come for fries?

I'd love to, but we're going on a "family outing."

My parents are suddenly interested in me.

Sorry.

Bye. Okay, bye.

She can't control some things--

Like her family--

So she tries to control her body.

It's a classic case of anorexia.

So where's the moodiness

Withdrawn behavior

Obsessive exercise

And excessive use of laxatives?

Erica, wake up!

Smell the coffee!

Look how thin she is!

Some people are naturally slim.

Nobody's that slim.

Tessa's skinny--

You don't call her anorexic.

She's eating a chocolate bar.

So?

I've brought you some cookies.

Kathleen's favorite.

Mom, please.

I've heard a lot about you, melanie.

You're kathleen's best friend.

You should bring your friends home more often, dear.

Mom, we have a lot to do.

Oh, kathleen, work isn't everything.

You should have some fun, too.

Work, work, work-- that's all she ever does.

Just like her father.

Mom, we have a deadline.

Why don't you let me help you?

I used to be good in science.

We don't need help.

Fine.

I can take a hint.

What are you staring at?

Nothing.

I told you you should have eaten lunch.

You're so fat.

Thanks, mom. Thanks, mom.

I've never worked so hard

On a project for a science fair.

Think of how much we've learned.

Diet pills!

I can order diet pills!

Alexa--

Those are bad for you.

But listen to this:

"no dieting, no exercise.

Lose pounds in days."

Those are a scam

And they don't work.

There-- she's eating.

So?

So, it proves she's not anorexic.

50% of anorexics are bulimic, too.

She's probably both.

Bulimic?

Bulimia-- you binge and then you barf.

You eat all you want and never get fat?

That sounds okay to me.

Except it doesn't work.

You ruin your stomach, your throat

Your teeth--

Because of all the acids throwing up causes.

It's really disgusting, alexa.

I look forward to addressing all staff...

Her diary is just a list of what she's eaten.

She eats hardly anything.

She must be starving.

That explains why she's so bitchy.

But it's been going on for months.

Maybe you should talk to her.

Yeah, right--

And tell her I looked in her diary?

Well, bye.

Hi.

How are you feeling?

Fine.

I finished the project.

Um... Listen--

If you ever want to talk

About anything...

Like what?

I don't know-- anything.

Thank you, doctor melanie.

What are those?

Never mind.

Laxatives?

But you haven't eaten anything.

What are you doing

With laxatives?

What do you think?

No doubt about it--

Jill is definitely fatter than jack.

This experiment could revolutionize

The way our parents think.

Cheesies for breakfast, chocolate for lunch.

Licorice instead of liver.

Erica: I was looking at the other projects.

I think we have a good chance.

Heather: I think we have the best one.

Erica: We do.

Can you believe

Some people eat all this junk at once?

And puke 11 times a day.

Just shift the bread maybe an inch this way.

It looks great.

Good luck.

Thank you.

Kathleen--

Is the report finished?

Not yet.

Are you too busy?

I'm not too busy, and I want to do it.

Okay.

You should look around.

There are some really great projects.

I'm sure--

But ours is the best.

It's almost lunchtime.

Do you want to go eat?

I'm not hungry.

Remember how hungry you were last night?

I don't want to eat, okay?

You should go look at heather and erica's project.

It's on eating disorders.

Fascinating.

That sure looks good.

If your diet's making you unhappy

Maybe it's not worth it.

No!

It's lose weight or lose simon.

Losing weight for a guy?

That's pretty dumb.

But you've been dieting, too.

Not really; I'm maintaining-- for dance.

You see? That's how rumors get started.

If all he cares about is appearances

Then he's not worth going out with.

See you guys inside.

Yeah.

Yeah!

Okay, let's see if the mike works.

One, two, three.

I'm sorry.

That's male.

This is... This is...

I think so.

I guess this... No, this one's male.

Okay.

This is useless.

Do you guys want help?

We also used part of my old radio system

And arthur's homemade keyboard.

And this is our robot kit, which we made

Out of toys and computer parts.

Arthur: Sometimes he has a mind of his own.

The rate at which a substance dissolves

Is affected by a variety of factors.

For instance:

Stirring a solution increased the rate

At which a solute dissolved in a solvent.

Thank you.

We need tighter controls

On factory pollution.

Right, there's...

We have to think

In the long run.

Also...

There also have to be agreements

To stop acid rain.

Very good.

Well done, girls.

Thank you.

We did great.

"we"?

I'm sure we're going to win.

I forgot to tell him about the ozone.

That's what I was trying to tell him.

What will I do?

I have to win!

Relax.

It's not too late.

I can still tell him, there's still time.

Mr. Raditch!

Mr. Raditch?

There's one more thing.

It's about the ozone layer.

By the year 2080

There will be several major holes

In the outer surface layer of the ozone.

Look at it-- it bubbles up.

Scooter: Jack got the junk food and he's still thin.

Jill got the healthy food

And she got fat.

Bartholomew: We're onto something big.

Junk food has clearly been underrated.

I don't think it's the food

That's making jill fat.

What else could it be?

Well, jack is a boy and jill's a girl...

We know that.

And jill's been getting bigger...

She's pregnant?

Yes.

I suggest you do the experiment after the births.

I knew it was too good to be true.

They're announcing the results.

Did you look at heather and erica's project?

I'm not interested in anyone else's project, melanie.

Melanie: Kathleen--

Why haven't you been eating?

What?

You haven't been eating.

I'm on a diet, okay?

No, you're not.

You're starving yourself.

You're not eating.

Melanie, what are talking about?

I read your diary.

You looked in my private diary?

I shouldn't have.

I can't believe you did that!

Kathleen, you have a problem.

Wrong-- you have the problem.

Reading my private stuff?

How could you?

I hate you.

I can't believe we were ever friends.

Kathleen!

Mind your own business!

Hello?

Can you hear me?

Could I have your attention, please?

The judging has been completed

And the totals have been tabulated

And we have our results.

Third prize this year at the degrassi science fair

Goes to arthur kobalewscuy and yick yu for their robot project.

Second prize goes to vicki freedland and vivian wong

For their project on aqueous solutions.

And first prize goes to...

Heather and erica farrell for their project

On eating disorders.

Honorable mentions also go

To kathleen mead and to melanie brody

For their project on urban pollution.

Kathleen, wait!

Leave me alone!

Kathleen...

If I'd remembered the ozone...

Kathleen, we got an honorable mention.

We should have won.

I wanted to win.

We did our best.

That's not enough!

You don't understand.

I try so hard.

I try to make them proud.

I want them to be proud.

We should have won.

They could have been so proud.

They would have...

Kathleen!

What's wrong?

She's fainted.

Kathleen!

Kathleen?

What's happened?

She hasn't been eating.

Kathleen?

Kathleen, wake up. Hello?

Alexa?

Simon, I won't lose weight for you.

I like me the way I am.

I like me... I mean, I like you the way you are, too.

Then why did you say I was fat?

I didn't.

I don't think I did.

Make up your mind.

Can we go out again?

As long as you accept me for me.

Sure.

Thank goodness.

Can I walk you home tonight?

Yeah, I'd love that.

I know, and they won third prize.

And this month's staff meeting is indefinitely postponed...

I want you to go see the nurse.

Miss avery, I'm fine, honest.

It was nerves.

Kathleen, I insist.

And she's expecting you.

Today.

Traitor!

Why did you tell her?

I was scared.

You're just jealous because I have willpower.

I'm sorry about your diary

But you have a problem.

I do not!

Yes, you do.

You need help.

I don't need help.

And I don't have a problem.
