Degrassi: The Next Generation / Season 1 Script

Eye of the Beholder

Toby: I don't know.

J.T.: Come on, Toby, it's a rite of passage.

Mrs. Kwan: Hey boys, open your books.

Manny: Em, I totally wish I could go tonight.

Emma: Yeah, well at least you have a real excuse. But those two?

Manny: They're wusses.

Liberty: Emma, are you really going to let a couple pre-pubescent boys dictate your amusement?

J.T.: I thought you said your parents were going out tonight?

Jeff: Hey, you guys sure we can't give you a ride to the dance?

J.T. and Toby (together): No.

Kate: Okay. All right, so we're off. See you later.

Jeff: Bye.

Toby: Bye, Dad. Bye, Kate.

J.T.: One parent away, two parent away, three parent away, four-

Toby: Parents are gone.

J.T.: What are we waiting for?

Ashley: Terri, you alive in there?

Terri: I'll be out in a second.

Ashley: Well hurry up. I'm leaving in five and I want to see the final result.

Terri: I knew this was stupid.

Ashley: Ter, stop. You look incredible.

Paige: Wow, you actually do.

Terri: You're sure?

Ashley: Totally. I know it's early but I really have to set up. Terri, you are coming?

Terri: I guess so. I just wish I wasn't so nervous.

Paige: You go, Ash. I just want to freshen up a bit. Ter, want to wait?

Ashley: Paige, you look fine.

Paige: Please, it's boiling in here. I've sweated off all my makeup.

Terri: It's okay, I'll wait.

Ashley: All right but I've got to run. Terri, I am so glad you changed your mind. Spinner is going to freak.

Christine: Call me when you want me to pick you up. You're sure you're okay going in there alone?

Emma: I'm fine.

Christine: Okay. Good luck. But do not walk home alone.

Emma: Mom, please.

Paige: Okay, that's better. I don't know about you but I always get a little nervous before these things. Hey, you okay?

Terri: Um, don't you think this outfit's a little too sexy?

Paige: Hon, it's not that wild.

Terri: Then maybe it's not sexy enough.

Paige: Well we could add just a few final touches.

Terri: Paige, I don't know if I can go out looking like this.

Paige: Terri, you're just nervous. You need to calm down. Come on. I think we could use a little glass of sherry.

Terri: Really?

Liberty: Your signs were blah.

Ashley: But now you can't even read them. They're too covered in glitter, squiggles, and sparkles.

Liberty: It's called marketing.

Ashley: It's called messy. Five dollars, please. It goes towards the Degrassi Community food bank, although you wouldn't know it from the sign. Five dollars, please.
