Degrassi: The Next Generation / Season 1 Script

Rumours and Reputations

Ashley: Mr. Armstrong? You've gotta be making this up.

Spinner: No, I swear.

Paige: It just so happens that you're always complaining about the food and now you find a bug. Hmm.

Spinner: Paige, c'mon. Does this look like the face of a liar?

Paige: You want an honest answer?

Spinner: Why don't anyone believe me? Tell her, Jimmy.

Jimmy: There was some kind of weirdness on his plate.

Ashley: You sure it wasn't just a hair?

Jimmy: A moth, I think.

Spinner: An earwig, dude. An earwig.

Ashley: See? You two can't even get your stories straight.

Spinner: Boycott the caf! Hey, guys, the caf has bugs. Boycott the caf!

Mrs. Kwan: That's a serious accusation.

Spinner: Mrs. Kwan. I found a bug in my food. An earwig.

Mrs. Kwan: And where is this offensive creature now?

Spinner: Stuck to a kid's shoe.

Mrs. Kwan: Gavin. Defamation and rumor mongering are serious offenses. The next time you make an accusation like that, you better have proof.

Paige: What's with you? You look awful.

Terri: Thanks, Paige.

Paige: No, I mean, what's going on? It's good to get things off your chest. You'll feel way better.

Terri: I guess so. But...

Paige: Terri, we're friends, right? Friends talk to each other.

Terri: Okay, but you have to promise to keep it a secret. I really mean it.

Paige: Of course. What is it?

Terri: You know Liberty? That kid in seventh grade? Well, I heard Armstrong was coming on to her.

Paige: Ew! You're kidding, right?

Terri: No. I overheard Emma. She saw him with his arm around her. Then, on the steps, he gave her a love note. So, what do we do? Report it?

Paige: Hon, you can't report a rumor.

Mr. Armstrong: Afternoon, everyone. Something wrong, girls?

Paige: Oh, no. Nothing, Mr. Armstrong.

Mr. Armstrong: Okay. Today we're gonna take a look at distributive properties. All right, in the review, you'll remember the three main rules, the operations in brackets...

Hazel: Get this. Liberty and Armstrong were seen kissing outside. Yeah. They were in his car kissing in front of everybody.

Sean: She got a ride in with him this morning. Do you think they spent the night together? How could Coach Armstrong do that?

Spinner: Dude! Liberty and Armstrong are doing it!

Ashley: Next on the agenda, the motion that Liberty put forward last meeting.

Liberty: Right. About the talent show. So, what do you think, Ashley? Should we have one?

Ashley: Sure, sounds great.

Liberty: Wow. That was easy. We argued about it for hours last week. Guys, you can stop whispering. I know what you're talking about.

Ashley: Um, you do?
