Degrassi: The Next Generation / Season 1 Script

Tracker: Cathode ray tube.

Sean: Cathode ray tube was developed, uh...when?

Tracker: 1897. And when was the first televised broadcast?

Sean: 1956.

Tracker: Close. '36.

Sean: Yeah, only two decades off.

Tracker: Hey. Cut yourself some slack, this is hard stuff to remember. You're doing that wrong. C'mon, let me. Take a seat. So, mom called. She's off the booze.

Sean: Good for her.

Tracker: Yeah, well, I'm just warning you because she wanted to talk to you. Which means that she's gonna be calling back and...

Sean: And she's gonna wanna talk to me about moving back with them to Wasaga Beach. Well, it's not gonna happen, alright, so forget it.

Tracker: Sean...

Sean: I'm not moving back!

Tracker: Hey! Take it easy! Use some of those tricks they taught you.

Sean: Okay, you know what? You are not my social worker, okay?

Tracker: Look. Don't worry about Mom, okay? You just keep your nose clean, get good grades, and everything will be okay. Alright?

Sean: Alright.

J.T.: This median immersion test is gonna kill me. So dead, they'll have to check my dental records, my DNA.

Toby: Will you stop being so melodramatic for once? Please?

J.T.: I am not melodramatic.

Liberty: J.T., try studying. It helps.

Sean: Emma. You said you'd help me study for the test, right?

Emma: Sure, I'd love to. Are you worried about media immersion?

Sean: Big time.

Liberty: Oh, Mr. Simpson! 20th century media history is a major component of this test. Do we need to know anything before that? Like the Gutenberg press?

Archie: No, Liberty. Just what we studied.

Liberty: Because I know the Gutenberg press.

Archie: I'm sure you do. I should, uh-

Liberty: Now, math's not my strong suit. But, if I want an A plus in media immersion, I'll have to score about 92.48% on this test. Does that calculation sound right to you?

Archie: Did you guys hear Mr. Raditch calling for me? Yeah, I think I heard him call me.

Jimmy: Hey, Sean, gonna miss that locker, eh?

Sean: What's that supposed to mean?

Jimmy: Nothing. It's just you'll be moving to grade eight next year, finally.

Sean: Yeah, finally.

Jimmy: Yeah.

Spinner: Paige! Check this out.

Paige: Spinner! We're going to be late, and Raditch is going to expel you.

Spinner: So? Anything to get me out of that English test.

Paige: I thought you read all the books.

Spinner: Yeah, once. And now I'm supposed to review them for the test? Forget it. I've done enough work.

Paige: Ugh, hurry up! You know what a facist Raditch is.

Mrs. Kwan: Paige, Gavin. You're late. I see some things haven't changed.
