TEXT: Outside the Kerwin house. (Ashley walks outside and meets up with Jimmy and Terri. Jimmy puts his arm around her as they walk.) Jimmy: Hey. You know, the thing about turning 14, it's like, I'm a man now. Ashley: Oh, yeah? In what country? Terri: Where are your parents taking you this year, Jimmy? Jimmy: Actually, my mom's cooking. Ashley: Now, is this for real cooking or "let's order a pizza" cooking? Jimmy: For real cooking. Lobster, for you, me, and dad. Ashley: You mean, we're actually going to have dinner with your parents at your house? I don't believe it. Jimmy: Lobster's no big deal. Just throw 'em in a pot. Terri: And then they die, slowly, screaming. Ashley: Thanks for sharing. Degrassi Jimmy: (kisses Ashley on the cheek) Catch you later. (After he leaves, she rolls her eyes at Terri.) Terri: What? You hate lobster? You hate his parents? Ashley: I don't hate anybody. At least it's not at my house. He has had dinner with us eight days in a row. I know, poor me. My boyfriend and my parents actually get along. Terri: Yes, that must really suck. Ashley: It's just, I already have a little brother, I don't need another one. Outside (Ashley, Paige, and Terri are outside sitting at table. Terri is reading a quiz to Ashley about Love.) Terri: When you see your man, do you: A-Indifferent, B-Nauseous, C-Relieved or D-The earth moved. Ashley: C-Relieved. He's a guy, not an earthquake. Paige: What, he doesn't vibrate on your Richter scale? Terri: Why does that sound so gross? (As she talks, Jimmy and his friends come up to them.) Ashley: Jimmy, come on, we're kind of in the middle of this. Go play football. You don't want to hear this stuff. It's stupid. Guy: Hey Jimmy, you coming or what? Jimmy: Pass up a chance
