Degrassi: The Next Generation / Season 1 Script

Ashley: This is going to be the best year ever. First thing we need to do, Terri, is we need to get you a boyfriend. It will happen. Trust me. Terri. I am not a shoe-in. We won't even know if I'm president 'til the final vote is counted. Okay, yeah, I just need to have a shower and get dressed. Oh no, not again. Ter, I've got to go. All right, I'll see you at school. Bye. Toby, out.

Toby: How do you know it's me? It could my your mom. It could be my dad.

Ashley: They have their own bathroom.

Toby: Then go use it. I just got here.

Ashley: Toby, come on, be reasonable. I have to get to school to put up my election posters.

Toby: Aren't you the only one running?

Ashley: Toby, remember what Dr. Freed said. A generous attitude makes for a generous family. Now get out of the bathroom now. Toby, what will it take for you to open that door?

Toby: Just say please.

Ashley: Please.

Toby: Now say, Toby Isaacs is the coolest kid at Degrassi. Way, way cooler than any stupid grade eight could ever hope to be.

Ashley: Toby, I have to get something.

Toby: Get what? Your hairbrush? Your eyeliner? Your... training bra?

Ashley: Mom!

Toby: I mean, I hadn't even spit out my toothpaste and she wanted in.

J.T.: Maybe you should explain to Ashley that bathroom time is private time.

Toby: She'd probably go crying to Mommy.

J.T.: Really?

Toby: She has no sense of humor and she's a neat-aholic. Yesterday I left my gym socks on the couch. She freaked.

J.T.: Your gym socks can reek something fierce.

Toby: Just 'cause me and Dad move into their house, Ashley treats me like...

J.T.: Like dirt? Gum stuck on her shoe?

Toby: All of the above. So, ready for day one of the rest of our junior high lives?

J.T.: What do you think?

Ashley: Dr. Freed says we need to work together and try to be more like siblings.

Terri: You fight all the time, can't stand the sight of each other, you're already acting like siblings.

Ashley: I mean, I don't mind his dad Jeff and I'm glad my mom's happy but Toby, he's everywhere. He's like a little mosquito that keeps buzzing in your ear.

Terri: Hey Ash, maybe when you're president, you can get him expelled.

Ashley: Yeah, for my life.

Paige: Hey, guys. Haven't seen you all summer. How are you doing?

Terri: Paige?

Paige: New year, new look, new Paige. You're putting up your campaign posters already?

Ashley: The election is on Friday.

Paige: Wow, you'd rather focus on the issues than on your appearance. That's so admirable.

Emma: Manny, there's nothing to be afraid of.

Manny: Nothing but the grade eights.

Emma: They're only a year older than us.

Manny: Yeah, a whole year to think of ways to make you suffer.
