Outside the Dot, Darcy is waiting in Spinner's car
(Peter, Manny, Emma and Spinner walk out of the Dot.)
Emma: Later skater.
Manny: Thanks Spin.
Emma: Hey there's Darcy.
Manny: Hey you should have come in for coffee!
Emma: What's up?
Peter: Hey.
Spinner: Come on! I thought you guys would never leave. Go, go, go.
(They all leave and Spinner gets in the car.)
Spinner: Work, exams, work, exams. I needs me some Darcy.
(They start kissing.)
Darcy: I have something to show you. Kim got me a job as a counsellor.
Spinner: Darcy does summer camp. Sounds like my kind of movie. Sucks I'm gonna have to stay here in Toronto and miss it.
Darcy: With lots and lots of other girls around.
Spinner: Darcy I don't want to be with anyone else. You're everything to me.
(They start kissing again and Darcy pulls back.)
Darcy: Sorry Spinner. We can't. We took a vow. We have to remain virgins 'til marriage.
Spinner: Virgins. Yeah totally.
In the cafeteria
Emma: You're chipper for someone who was on the phone with Craig until 3.
Manny: It's you in the food line.
Emma: Beats the hospital. Yay therapy. Although compared to the caf, hospital food gets a bad rap.
Manny: Oh no. Food and drinks. We need refreshments for the variety show and I still don't have a tech crew.
Peter: Manny you're the director, the lead actor...
Emma: This is your show. Take charge.
Spinner: I've been reading blogs by Christian teens on abstinence. It's all about prevention so we have to find ways to stay busy.
Manny: Okay all you Degrassi-ites, the variety show needs volunteers so come on everyone, show some support!
Danny: Take it off!
(Derek cheers and they give each other a high 5.)
Spinner: How perfect is this? Man when God answers prayers he is quick. Sign us up Manny.
(Manny hugs Spinner and Darcy gives an angry look.)
Manny: Oh my gosh, Spinner you are my hero.
(Darcy clears her throat.)
Manny: And you too Darcy.
In a classroom
Ms. Hatzilakos: So grad weekend is almost here and our fiftieth anniversary variety show's coming together very nicely. Attention spans are zero so it must mean that it's time for my post secondary preparedness class. First up, finances.
Paige: Um my hoped for University, Banting. Plethora of scholarships, but when it comes to me they haven't been so accepty yet.
Ms. Hatzilakos: Well acceptances are just trickling in and I'm sure when yours comes in Paige you'll be prepared.
Paige: I'm prepared for a nervous breakdown if it doesn't.
Alex: Maybe I'll get a tattoo.
Paige: Hello discussing the future here. My future. As in things that could affect the rest of my life.
Alex: Or I could learn how to play the bass!
Paige: These are your future plans? Things that could happen next week?
Alex: It's called living in the now and we both know the most important thing about the now is me. At the movie theatre
Paige: Look the big envelope from Banting and everyone knows the big envelope means you get in and I did! I got in! We are so out of here.
Alex: You're late and our boss has been breathing down my neck.
Paige: Um what part of we are so out of here didn't you understand?
Alex: We? I didn't get into Banting.
Customer: And don't forget topping halfway and then again on top.
Paige: Well maybe you could come with. We could get our own cozy, little place.
Alex: Sounds cozy, but what would I actually do in Kingston?
Paige: You could work. Get a transfer from the movie theatre.
Customer: You can keep that topping coming, miss.
Alex: You'll be studying your butt off and making new friends and I'll still be dishing out popcorn?
Customer: Miss, do I need to show you what I mean by more topping myself?
(Alex presses the pump angrily a bunch of times.)
Alex: Can't wait for your heart attack.
Customer: Next time you insult a customer, maybe not in front of your manager.
Manager: Alex can I see you in my office?
Inside the movie theatre, Darcy is kissing Spinner's neck
Spinner: Stop. Stop.
Darcy: Do I have cooties all of a sudden?
Spinner: I just...I don't want it to go too far, okay?
Darcy: I bet if Manny were here she'd be all over you, just like in the caf.
Spinner: Oh that was nothing. That's just Manny's way. She's always like that.
Darcy: I can only imagine what she was like when you two were going out.
Spinner: Want a play by play?
Darcy: Spare me. I can barely stand the idea of you being with her and all.
Spinner: Truth is when I was with Manny we did nothing together. Zip.
Darcy: You're serious?
Spinner: Yeah I wasn't even into her that way. Her whole sexual past...just turned me off.
Darcy: So you're really a virgin?
Spinner: I'm so virginal, Mary's jealous.
Darcy: I feel so bad now about Manny. You know if she just repented and purified herself, her past could totally go away.
Spinner: You can do that?
Darcy: Yeah it's a ceremonial thing. I think it could really help her. Outside the theatre, Spinner is getting food
Spinner: Hey.
Paige: Candy and a chick flick? Someone's got it bad.
Spinner: Yeah well it's no Clown Academy 2, but if Darcy's happy, I'm happy. But you're not.
Paige: I'm great. Everything's peachy.
(Spinner sees the pamphlets.)
Spinner: Banting?
Paige: You're looking at their newest acceptee!
Spinner: Paige that's awesome. Get over here!
(They hug.)
Spinner: Woah. Banting is like the Harvard of the north. I'm like so happy for you. This is so cool.
Paige: Oh candy's on me. It's my treat.
(Spinner leaves and Alex walks over.)
Alex: The evil one made me clean the bathrooms. Then she fired me.
Paige: For the topping incident?
Alex: Strike 3. Goodbye polyester, hello unemployment. I don't want this stupid job. It's time I move on. Do something else.
Paige: Anything in mind?
Alex: Right now? No. I just got fired. Can we lay off the career planning just for tonight? I have to go. See you tomorrow?
(They kiss and Alex leaves.)
In a jewellery store
Spinner: I saw these last night. They're Claddagh rings. See when the heart faces the body it means commitment, being honest and true to each other.
Darcy: Spinner they're beautiful.
(He puts the ring on her finger.)
Spinner: To our future together.
Darcy: I love it.
(They hug.)
At the variety show rehearsals
Manny: And one, two, three, four. Cut it.
(Spinner walks in and hugs Darcy.)
Manny: There's my favourite techie. The lighting board needs a front. Get acquainted.
(Spinner walks over to the equipment.)
Manny: He so has a thing for cheerleaders. You're number three...and a lock to lead the squad next year.
Darcy: You think so?
Manny: Yeah you're pretty, you're graceful, a natural dancer. Plus you didn't get kicked off 'cause everyone saw your boobs. So that's a bonus.
Darcy: Manny I've been thinking, you know if you want a fresh start the door is always open at Friendship Club.
Manny: Um sweetie the nun lifestyle rules aren't exactly my scene.
Darcy: Trust me. Anyone can change. I mean look at Spin. Prayer, abstinence, he's a believer.
Manny: As in absti-no-sex? Kudos to you for making that happen with Spin. You must be a miracle worker.
Darcy: Wait. Um are you saying that you and Spinner have had s*x?
Manny: Darcy, are you serious? What has he been telling you?
In Ms. Kwan's class
Ms. Kwan: Congratulations on all your hard work. Believe me no matter what you do, you'll thank me for your excellent communication skills. Alex.
(Alex looks at her test and sees a C.)
Alex: Thanks for nothing.
Jimmy: Oh A...! I am on fire!
Paige: That will impress the pants off any admissions office.
Jimmy: I hope so because I'm a couple credits short and uh still all up in the air.
Alex: You don't know exactly what's gonna happen and the sky isn't falling? Amazing!
Paige: She's high on carpe diem. Side effect of being fired.
Alex: I'll get another job or there's always welfare.
Paige: Great plan Alex. That sounds like fun.
Alex: Fun. Do you even know what that is?
(Paige looks at her test and she got an A.)
Paige: This, this is fun. Do you realize how close I am to that scholarship?
Alex: You want fun? Let's cut class tomorrow. Do something we've never done before. Something wild and crazy and totally nuts!
(Paige doesn't say anything.)
Alex: Or there's a sale on at the mall.
In the auditorium
Liberty: You're starting with the 60s, then moving onto the 1800s? This is a mess.
Many: Okay it's called creative liberty, Liberty and I am an actor, not a historian.
Liberty: Fine, but I don't think Charlotte Degrassi had an MP3 player.
Manny: I need to steal your boyfriend Darcy.
Liberty: Nate has mono. Spinner you are Victor. Manny, Charlotte.
Spinner: Wait, wait, wait. I'm on lighting. I'm more of a behind the scenes kind of guy.
Liberty: Yeah the show's in two days. We don't have time to discuss this. Read now.
Spinner: Um Charlotte promise me you'll be mine forever.
Manny: Of course Victor! Our love shall last a lifetime.
Spinner: Marry me Charlotte.
Manny: I will Victor. I will!
(They pretend to kiss each other jokingly and Darcy walks over angry.)
Darcy: What was that?
Manny: Um it's just part of the sketch sweetie. It's in the script.
Darcy: Manny I'm not stupid. You're constantly flirting with my boyfriend. You still like him.
Spinner: Okay I'm back on lighting. Um who wants to be Manny's acting partner? Anybody?
Darcy: Yeah not surprising.
Manny: What is that supposed to mean?
Darcy: Manny even you can become pure again. All it takes is repentance.
Manny: Yeah I'll get right on that.
Darcy: Well you should considering you are the school's biggest slut.
(Manny walks over to Darcy angry and grabs her hair.)
Manny: You are the last person to ever call me that!
(They start fighting as everyone around them watches.)
Spinner: Girls! Manny! Manny! Get off! Have you two gone completely psycho?
Darcy: You lied about being a virgin Spinner. She told me.
(Darcy pushes Spinner to the ground and leaves the room.)
Manny: What are you guys doing? Get, get back to work please. Get going. What are you guys staring at?
[SCENE_BREAK]
At the Dot
Marco: Okay, how's this: Good morning ladies and gentlemen, friends and family, teachers and administrators-
Paige: Oh I think you left out the janitor.
Marco: Paige it's a valedictorian speech. I want to be inclusive.
Spinner: Refills?
Marco: Woah. You look like you just lived through a country song.
Spinner: My dog is fine. Truck runs too.
Paige: Must be girl trouble.
Marco: No kidding. You didn't hear about the Darcy/Manny cage match?
Spinner: Dude, don't remind me. Darcy's completely convinced that there's something going on with me and Manny.
Paige: Jealousy is a nasty thing.
Spinner: Okay, but there's nothing to be jealous of 'cause I'm not cheating with Manny.
Paige: That's besides the point hon. Darcy is jealous of your past, not your present. There's nothing you can do, unless you can, I don't know somehow create a time machine and erase that past. At the mall, Alex hands Paige a CD
Alex: You should add this to your list. I think you might really like her.
Paige: Thanks hon. Um so, have you given any thought to you know Banting, future?
Alex: Nope. It's months away. Why would it even be crossing my mind?
Paige: Because it's important to have a plan, to know what's going on, to have some sort of direction.
Alex: It's also important to have fun, which by the way today has been completely and utterly lacking.
Paige: Fine. What's fun? Show me.
Alex: I don't know. Take that CD.
Paige: Excuse me?
Alex: You've never stolen anything in your life before, have you?
Paige: And I'm not about to start.
Alex: It's a rush. Just try it.
Paige: No thank you, really.
(Alex puts the CD in Paige's bag, the alarm goes off and Paige walks back in the store.)
Paige: Hi I'm sorry. That was, that was an accident.
At Friendship Club, Marco and Spinner are lighting candles
Marco: You sure you want to do this?
Spinner: Dude I'm sure, k. The question is what about you? I mean, you and Friendship Club didn't exactly hit it off.
Marco: Ah old news bud. I'm just, I'm happy you even asked me to help.
Darcy: Hey guys. What's going on?
Spinner: You are my everything and right now in front of all our friends I want to start over, with a clean slate. I want to purify myself and become a virgin again.
Darcy: It's not just a matter of saying it.
Spinner: Darcy I was up all night memorizing scripture. I want to do this. I Gavin Mason, promise to honour God with my body, will resist temptation and save myself for marriage.
Kim: Come now let us reason together says the lord. Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. At the mall
Paige: That wasn't funny. It was stupid and embarrassing.
Alex: Could you not be such a drama queen?
Paige: Can you not be so immature? I can't do this.
Alex: Can't do what?
Paige: This living in the moment thing. I need structure, plans, ideas and maybe just a little excitement about the future. Our future.
Alex: It's your future Paige. Not mine.
Paige: What does that mean?
Alex: It means I have to figure out what I want, what's good for me. Following you to Banting, working some crap minimum wage job and being your lapdog. Does that sound good?
(Paige shakes her head no.)
Alex: Maybe I'll go to college, maybe I'll join the army, maybe I'll start a business. I don't know, but I have to figure it out on my time table.
Paige: What are you trying to say?
Alex: I think you can figure it out. You always were the smart one Paige.
(Alex walks away upset.)
At a park, Darcy and Spinner are having a picnic
Spinner: Hmm smiling and chewing. That's talent.
Darcy: I'm happy...for you 'cause you get to start all over again.
Spinner: Well it feels good. It's like being factory fresh. Man who would've thought I'd be a virgin again? Not after last summer.
Darcy: But wait. You and Manny were together during the school year. I don't get it.
Spinner: Um Darcy. Manny, she was my first, but she wasn't my last.
Darcy: How many exactly?
Spinner: Two.
Darcy: You had s*x with two other girls?
Spinner: Yeah, but that was before I met you, before I found Christ. Since then I've done nothing wrong.
Darcy: But you lied!
Spinner: So I'm still cleansed. It's all good.
Darcy: No it's not. How am I ever gonna trust you? You lied to me Spinner.
Spinner: This whole thing it's not, it's not about lying or, or God or anything except you and your stupid jealousy.
Darcy: Whatever. Believe what you want to believe.
Spinner: You know what I believe Darcy? I believe I will never be clean enough, not for you.
(Spinner takes off his ring and gives it to Darcy.)
Spinner: We're through, okay? It's over.
At Alex's house
(Alex walks in and sees Jay on the couch.)
Jay: I'm not here to bug you, okay? I'm, I'm watching the game with Chad...or I was before he passed out. You look like you got hit by a bus.
Alex: Paige Michalchuk break-up express.
Jay: You looking for a shoulder to cry on...or maybe just a quick rebound?
Alex: Jay I'm not bi. I'm not confused. I'm a lesbian, an actual lesbian who just broke up with her first girlfriend and it sucks.
Jay: I'm sorry. It's one of the first times I've said I'm sorry and actually meant it.
Alex: It's one of the first times you said sorry and I actually believed you.
Jay: Um do you want to watch some TV with me? No funny business, just friends hanging out.
Alex: Fine.
At the Dot
(Spinner closes the door so that he and Paige are the only ones in there.)
Spinner: Hot date with your course calendar?
Paige: Um Alex and I broke up. I just needed to be alone.
Spinner: Welcome to Splitsville. You're in the right place.
Paige: You too?
Spinner: Man I wish I was getting out of here like you.
Paige: Do not envy me. Sure I got into Banting, but what if I blow it? What if everyone sees that I am just this, this big faker who doesn't belong there?
Spinner: Paige you totally belong there. Take it from someone who knows, k? You're amazing. You always have been.
Paige: Thanks.
Spinner: No extra charge.
(Spinner looks at his watch.)
Spinner: Oh man the time. Uh can I drive you home?
Paige: Sure. That'd be great Spin.
(Paige stands up and Spinner is about to help her put on her shirt when they start kissing.)
