- You know my mother works here, right?

- It's not like she saw us. - Hey, Ma.

- So you took the pictures? - Yeah.

And they all turned out horrible.

- If Papa gets to make your election signs,

I get to choose the shot.

Shouldn't there be four?

- No. No, there's just three.

- What are you talking about, "horrible"?

Every one of these says "President" to me.

- Alright, I'll see you at home, Ma.

Bye.

Dylan.

Dylan, wait up.

Dylan, where you going?

- Back to my dorm.

- Oh. Okay, then, here, take this with you.

Make your dorm mates jealous.

- They're straight.

- Okay, so make them uncomfortable.

- Actually, they don't have a problem with me being gay.

I'm your boyfriend, Marco.

- I know. - Yeah, well,

you're the only one in your family that does.

- Babe--

- I'll call you later.

� Whatever it takes �

Paige. Hey, I tried calling you last night.

- Mm. So said the call display.

Not as many times as my brother, though.

Do you think I'd make a good travel agent?

I so need a job.

- Wait. You talked to Dylan?

- In between repeated calls to Spinner.

- Weird. He said he was gonna phone me last night.

- He was probably busy studying or joining secret societies,

whatever they do at university.

- Should I be worried?

Paige.

- Dylan's hard to read, okay? He-he has his little tantrum,

then -- Ow.

Prostrate much?

- Try looking where you're walking.

- Ice patches, bottomless pits,

dog crap... and Alex.

Pedestrian hazards to avoid.

- Nice shirt.

Hate to bloody it.

- Nice attitude. Hate to deflate it

by reminding you that you're a loser.

- Really. Who decided that?

- Everybody. Majority rules on these matters, sweetie.

(school bell ringing)

(PA): Tryouts for the Degrassi badminton team

take place this Wednesday in the gym...

- So why do you girls always make your hair bigger?

- Why are guys always catching us doing embarrassing stuff?

- How you been-- - Um--

- Good morning. Who else is ready to say "gouda"

or perhaps "gruyere"? (both): Hey, Liberty.

- Um...

hey, Chris, I'm sorry

for what happened with us in the summer.

- Maybe we could go for a shake sometime?

- Yeah, maybe.

- Gay kid, hey.

I said hey. - You also said, "gay kid" -

something I tend not to answer to, thanks.

- Okay, "School President," "Mr. Prez," "Big Guy" -

that more you?

This election thing - what are the "issues"?

- Look, I'm sorry Paige was rude to you.

- Doesn't matter. Answer my question

like you care. - Save it for the assembly.

- Alex, come here.

- Hey, Marco. I hope you're ready for a horse race.

- Alex is running? - Mm-hmm.

Tells me she's "hungry for blood."

At any rate, she's got a lot of kids talking already -

and not about you.

� Vultures and helicopters overhead I'm broken down �

� Used-car blues it's no time to joke around �

� The only solution �

� I can think of so far �

� Is to smash out the windows with a crowbar �

� And as the headlights... �� - Is this seat taken?

- I'm sorry, kiss sweet bacon?

- Is this seat taken?

- Oh. No, no, no.

Go ahead, sit down.

Uh...

Buck Sixty-Five.

- For the headphones?

- That's who's on the system.

- I like this part. - Mm, yeah.

- I've always wanted to broaden my knowledge of popular music.

- Professor Chris at your service.

- Really? - Yeah.

- Well, maybe we could go

to the record store sometime together.

Or the CD shop. Whatever. Um, I'll buy you a falafel?

- It's a date.

- Alex?!

- As in "most likely to succeed in killing someone" Alex?

Hand me your nomination form.

You need cash or whatever, I'm here.

- We'll hang posters.

- Hand out flyers.

- Whatever it takes to help.

- Alex's campaign is an illiterate catch phrase.

I'm not so worried.

Uh... I'll see you guys later.

- Later. - Later.

- No, Marco's not worried at all.

- Not about Alex. Let's just say, uh...

Siegfried might be looking for a new Roy.

- Dylan. Hey.

Uh, can we talk?

- Now's not a good time, Marco.

- Look, I just had this really huge day.

There's someone running against me now.

- Well, that's what happens in elections, right?

- Right.

Um, uh...

you forgot to call me last night.

- After the thing with the pictures...

I came back to my dorm

and, um...

I did a lot of thinking.

- Dylan, c'mon, it was just a stupid picture.

- It's not just a picture, Marco.

And I can't do this anymore.

I'm sorry.

Not like this.

I gotta go.

- So if A is equal to 26 in this trapezoid,

who can tell me what the value of B is?

� Out of breath at the end of a long summer �

Anyone? � Waiting for a phone call �

� That isn't a wrong number �� Liberty,

you wanna give it a try? - Liberty!

- Uh, buck sixty-five?

(giggling)

- Nice try.

JT?

Okay, let's try this one more time. ...

- Liberty's losing her math. It must be love.

- You always think that. And Liberty has dyscalculia.

- Um, no.

- Girls?

The class is up here?

And, Manny...

so are you.

I'll give you a hint.

Three A equals B, and H equals one half of three A.

- Hey, Marco, where do you go?

You no wanna see your posters?

- Yeah, sure, my posters.

- Just a minute.

Hey. Hey, your mama and I are very proud of you, uh?

We're going to come to the assembly,

uh, for your victory speech!

- Uh, actually, Papa, there's competition now.

- That's okay. Then this...

should help you win.

See? Your mama,

she picked the perfect picture.

"President" -

that's you.

- Yeah. Yeah, it's me.

I have to write a speech.

- Marco...

what's wrong?

- The fact that I'm gonna

have to eventually deliver said speech.

- Marco...

- Relationship stuff, Ma.

I met this person last year and...

... well, we...

Look, people break up.

I'll be fine. It's not a big deal.

- I didn't know you had a girlfriend--

- I don't.

- So it was Dylan.

- What?

Dylan's my friend, Ma. I'm not gay.

I am.

I am.

Ma, I'm gay.

- So...

Liberty and Chris.

- It's a crush. Big deal.

- Funny, I heard it was a date.

Tomorrow, after school?

Liberty sees an opportunity, she goes for it.

She's like a rabid wolverine. (school bell ringing)

(PA): A reminder to all Student Council candidates

that your nomination forms... - So I've got ear cancer.

Thanks. Last night,

Dylan had me on the phone for three hours all "worried."

And since sanity's fled you,

I'm worried too.

- I came out to my mom last night.

- I love you.

You know that, right? - Yeah.

Just hope she still does, you know?

I mean, she seemed a little...

Alright, she seemed a lot--

- You've had a year of being gay, Marco.

Sh-she's had a night. Of you. Being gay.

Okay, I am so calling Dylan right now!

- Whoa. Hey!

Hey! What are you doing?

- Most you can spend on your campaign is $40.

- They were for free. His dad--

- Doesn't matter. Unfair advantage.

- Look, why are you doing this? - Because you're running.

And because I can.

- Nobody's gonna vote for you, okay? Nobody.

- Not yet.

- Not ever! Unless they open votes to high-school dropouts

or your parole officer.

- We'll see.

We'll ask the crowd tomorrow at the assembly,

see what they say. "Who'd you rather vote for?

The freak... or the queer?"

By the way, I'm the freak.

- Nice form.

- Don't tease me.

- You know what you said yesterday

about getting back together?

I'd really, really, really like that.

- I said don't tease me.

- I'm not.

What about tomorrow after school?

- Tomorrow?

I got a thing...

- Okay,

I-I just thought we could start this year off right.

- Alright.

I-I'll see what I can do.

- 'Kay.

And I was teasing about your form, you know.

It's awful.

Okay, tomorrow after school? I'm gonna come over

and I'm gonna loan you the coolest new skirt.

- Okay, and I need this why?

- For the whole get-Chris-back thing. I mean,

those legs of yours, they're a killer asset.

- I'm not trying to get him back.

- But you love him. I can see it in your eyes.

- I never said that.

- Okay, I'm totally confused.

- I didn't want him to go on a date.

- Because you're jealous?

- Of Liberty Van Zandt?

Yeah.

- You're embarrassed?

- You wouldn't be?

What are people gonna think of me

if Chris goes out with Liberty next?

- That's... that's the meanest thing

I've ever heard you say.

And that's really saying something.

- Maybe we can tell Papa the assembly's students only,

that parents are not allowed.

- You would lie to him like that?

- Well, maybe... maybe we don't have to.

Maybe Alex is just bluffing,

trying to freak me out before my speech.

- And if she's not?

- I don't know what to do, Ma!

- It-it breaks my heart

that because you are... gay,

these people will hate you.

- Ma, nobody hates me.

- This girl?

- Yeah, but that's not because I'm--

- I'm home!

Hey-hey-hey.

The posters, they worked good, Marco?

- Pa, I'm dropping out of the election.

Look, I talked to the president

from last year and he said it's a lot of work--

- No, no, no, Marco. You-you will do it.

- But my studies are gonna-- - No, Marco.

For running, I am proud of you. But now quitting...?

No. Don't make me less proud.

(PA): In recent days... - Hey, Liberty!

I think I'm actually voting for Alex today. You?

- You're dead to me.

- What?

- Manny told me.

Jealousy's really ugly, Emma.

- No, no, no, Liberty.

It's just hard for me letting Chris go, that's all.

- Guess what? It's easy for me letting you go -

straight to hell.

(PA): All students are reminded to report to the gym

for Student Council elections, not home room.

- I feel like I'm gonna barf.

- Don't tell me you're serious about these stupid elections.

- Alex.

- Just who I wanted to see. What?

- When you said you'd call me gay

in front of the whole school--

- I was gonna call you "queer," but if you'd prefer "gay"...

- I don't, thanks.

Look, you have an actual chance at winning this.

- You think?

- So call me "gay," "queer,"

whatever. But is that how you wanna fight?

Or do you wanna try and win this election for real?

- Save it for Ms. Sauv�.

- It's always the same.

Some pretty boy or girl wants to be president.

And me - we -

sit out while they have their "special dances"

or trips nobody can afford.

So I say screw 'em. Screw Student Council.

I say no dances, no trips - nothing.

Not if it's gonna be just like last year.

But take a chance and vote for me?

It won't be like last year.

I will make changes - where they count.

So it's up to you, Degrassi. What're you gonna do?

You gonna vote for the freak...

... or the pretty boy?

(student): Pretty boy!

- 'Cause you'll have more fun with the freak.

(applause)

- Thank you, Alex.

Up next...

is Marco Del Rossi.

- Yeah! - Marco!

Whoo!

(hooting and applause)

- Look, she's right.

No, Alex is right. The school's split.

But... where she's wrong?

Look, c'mon, it's not the President's job

to remind us that we're freaks.

I mean, I do that fine all by myself.

- Queer!!!

- Mr. Hoggart. I'll see you after in my office.

- Marco!!!

- Hey!

Queer?

Sure.

Odd? Why not?

Strange? You bet.

I love this school.

And I promise if you vote for me,

I will bring Degrassi together in...

freakish harmony for the first time.

For real.

Thank you.

- The first council meeting will be Thursday at lunch

and last but not least,

your Student Council President is...

Marco Del Rossi!

- Out of my way.

- I get to pick

my vice-president. - I get to pick my nose.

- Alex...

- I don't play well with others.

- Good. I'm not asking you to play.

I really liked your speech.

But most important,

I think you can bring a lot to the position.

- Thursday, right?

- Bring your lunch.

- Congratulations, Mr. President.

So what does it feel like

to be the most powerful man at Degrassi?

- Mixing me up with Mr. Raditch, eh?

Not cool, nor flattering.

I really liked you being here today, Dylan.

Probably because I just plain ol' like you.

I told my mom. - Paige told me.

- But I'm not ready to tell my dad. Not yet.

- You're eventually gonna have to tell him.

But, uh, when you're ready.

And I'm okay with that part.

- Hey, Mr. Presidente!

That's our new president, huh?

I'm so happy for him.

So - how much did you win by?

- I won. Let's leave it at that.

- Hey, I still think you could've used more posters.

Now, Marco, that boy,

what he called out -

and what you answered back - what is that?

- Dirty politics. I mean, I guess "queer"

is the worst thing he thought he could call me, you know?

- Yeah. Still,

you make me and your mama very proud of you today.

- Very proud.

Didn't he, Dylan?

- He won, Mrs. Del Rossi, and...

I think that's great.

- Andiamo!
