Épisode Fête de fin d'année S03E22 - Degrassi : The Next Generation Saison 3

Mr. Simpson: My diligent locker custodians. I’ll be back in 15 minutes to inspect all your hard work and once they’re clean…hello summer!

Jimmy: 23 hours and 10 minutes and I’ll be on a plane to LA

Hazel: and the best summer basketball camp in the US. Spoiled much?

Jimmy: My parents really wanna spoil me, they’d let me cancel right? Because when they booked in December, it was cool yeah, but that was before you.

Paige: And the final sacrifice. Last falls way passé mascara and lip gloss.

Spinner: And ‘hunny bee’s’ exile to the waste land is officially over. (Throws her makeup in the garbage)

Hazel: Well that’s worth celebrating.

Jimmy: It is and tonight is going to be a dream. A night that you’ll never forget. (Shows them a limo pamphlet)

Hazel: You got us a limo?

Jimmy: Well we need something to get us from my place to the restaurant. Oh and by the way. Tonight’s meal is on me.

Paige: Hazel wanna switch boyfriends?

Spinner: Oh yeah haha, oh aren’t you the big hero.

Jimmy: That’s the plan.


In the computer lab

Sean: I got your note. You wanted to see me?

Mr. Simpson: Have a seat.

Sean: I thought school was over. (Computer screen shows Sean’s grade at 49%)

Mr. Simpson: You started the year off well, but your grade just kept dropping and given that you’re on student welfare…

Sean: Was. Until they find out I failed a course. Thanks a lot Mr. Simpson.

Mr. Simpson: Creative parts database for the auto by the end of the day. Do a good job and you don’t fail…clock’s ticking.

(Sean puts his bag down and gets to work.)


At Joey’s house

Joey: Credit reports, credit reports. Lease agreement…

Caitlin: Thank goodness you’re here. I have a meeting and I left my

Joey: Here you go.

You are a model of efficiency.

Joey: If I was I would have been back at work an hour ago.

Caitlin: We’re like two peas in a pod.

Joey: You should move into this pod…seriously. Your already a huge part of the kids lives. I know they would love it if you moved in. More important I would love it.

Caitlin: Woah, this is sudden.

Joey: Think about it. Your stuff’s already here…you should be too.

Caitlin: I gotta get to this meeting; we’ll talk at dinner ok? (They kiss)

Joey: Bye

Caitlin: Bye.


At Jimmy’s place

Spinner: Uh Jimmy, you coming out of the bathroom?

Jimmy: This thing doesn’t fit right.

Paige: Maybe ‘cause you’re wearing a sari. You were supposed to ask for a kurta, what Indian men wear.

Jimmy: No, no ‘cause I asked for two kurtas and two saris and they gave me three saris.

Spinner: And you didn’t check before you left the store…Sloppy work dude.


Outside Jimmy’s place

Jimmy: So I look ok, right?

Spinner: Yeah dude, you look great. You’ll be the prettiest girl at the semi-formal.

Hazel: I’ve never been in a limo before. Do we get champagne too?

Jimmy: I hope so!

(An ugly limo honking its horn pulls up and a guy dressed like a cowboy steps out.)

Duke: Howdy girls. Duke, I’m your chauffer for the evening.

Jimmy: Uh, I think there’s been some mistake.

Duke: Jimmy Brooks? (Jimmy nods)

Duke: Ain’t no mistake hound dog. Let’s giddy up.

Spinner: (Let’s Jimmy get in before him) No, no ladies first. I like your (points to his cowboy hat)

Duke: Watch your dress.


At Caitlin’s office

(Caitlin’s ordering online for personalized towels.)

Thomas: His and her towels?

Caitlin: Joey asked me to move in and the towels are saying ‘why yes I would love to Mr. Jeremiah’. This is where you say congrats…

Thomas: I was just about to, for an entirely different reason. The documentary series on Unicef’s work of HIV/Aids, the station gave us their answer today!

Caitlin: They said yes?

Thomas: Congratulations! (They hug)

Caitlin: We submitted that what, a year ago!

Thomas: (Shows her a plane ticket) It’s for Geneva. Leaving tonight.

Caitlin: Excuse me?

Thomas: Yeah, there’s a world conference next month on HIV/Aids. Then you’re off to Africa, India, Southeast Asia, the Caribbean… It’s gonna be a Hectic 9 months.

Caitlin: I can’t…sorry.

Thomas: This is your project. It’s your baby.

Caitlin: The man I loved asked me to move in and I’m not gonna turn him down. Not for this, not for anything…


In the computer lab

Mr. Simpson: The database seems to be working. Couple redundancies in the tables but uh, that’s an easy fix so… 53, not the best mark but it’s a pass. Nice work Sean.

Sean: Thank you Mr. Simpson. Really…

Mr. Simpson: Oh yikes! It’s 6:00. I’m uh chaperoning your party tonight.

Sean: I’m not going. It’s not my scene.

Mr. Simpson: Good time’s not your scene? Sean, life can be rough and I know you’ve been dealt some pretty crappy hands. It can also be pretty amazing if you let it.

Sean: Mr. Simpson…

Mr. Simpson: You used to come to me with your problems and I’d try to help out. You don’t anymore, that’s cool, it’s your business. It doesn’t mean I’ve given up on you. I’ll always be here for you Sean.

Sean: I stole your computer. Your Alienware laptop. I stole it to get back at Emma.

Mr. Simpson: But I…I lost it, my, my chemo.

Sean: It wasn’t your chemo and you didn’t lose it. I stole it. I’m sorry, I’m so sorry.

Mr. Simpson: You better go, now!!


At the same restaurant Paige, Spinner and Ashley went to on their day off

Hazel: This restaurant looks incredible!

Paige: More like incredibly mediocre so let’s just go.

Jimmy: What’s wrong with you two?

Spinner: K um, when we skipped school, we also skipped out on him.

Jimmy: Uh, sir we have reservations under Brooks. (Spinner and Paige trying to hide)

Waiter: Party of 4, right this way.


At the same restaurant

Joey: So Miss Ryan, I would like to discuss the offer that was tabled this afternoon. Have you come to a resolution?

Caitlin: I have and my decision is yes! (Joey kisses her on the cheek)

Joey: I am so happy.

Caitlin: Me too.

(Clinking glasses.)

Caitlin: It’s been one hell of a day, let me tell you…real rollercoaster.

Joey: Really? You weren’t sure about moving in?

Caitlin: No, no of course not. Thomas had big news. They wanna do my HIV/Aids series.

Joey: That’s amazing!

Caitlin: Yeah and amazingly bad timing ‘cause um I’d have to leave tonight on a midnight flight to Geneva.

Joey: So forget about dinner! Let’s go pack your things. Sir can we get the uh bill?

Caitlin: Joey, honey I turned it down.

Joey: What? Why would you do that?

Caitlin: Because I’m moving in, with you.

Joey: No, you have to go I mean… This is an opportunity of a lifetime.

Caitlin: I sort of thought you were my opportunity of a lifetime.

Joey: I’m not going anywhere.

Caitlin: Great um…Then I guess I… I gotta go. (Caitlin gets up and leaves)


At the dance, Craig taking pictures of everyone dancing

Dylan: I think its perfect Marco!

Marco: Yeah almost perfect. (Fixing some curtains)

Emma: I cannot believe this is our gym.

Manny: I know, they did an amazing job.

JT: Though they’re not doing very well in the beverage department. I noticed a distinct lack of ice.

Mr. Simpson: I’m on it. I’m off to the store.

(Sean and Ellie walk in.)

Sean: Mr. Simpson! (He walks right by Sean)


At the restaurant

Hazel: Ok. On a scale of 1-10, that meal was a 20! *Kisses Jimmy)

(Waiter hands Jimmy the bill.)

Jimmy: Uh sir, I think you charged us for three extra dinners.

Waiter: You four, plus three lunches from a few weeks ago. Don’t forget to tip.

Jimmy: Spin, lend me $40 bucks? Paige? (Neither of them has money)

(Hazel takes out the money from her purse.)


Outside the restaurant

Jimmy: Hazel, I’ll pay you back.

Hazel: It’s no big deal, really.

(Cops are walking Duke to the cop car.)

Duke: I swear I paid those parking tickets! All 30 of them!

Paige: Well let’s start walking.

Duke: Hey hold on here a minute. Folks just hold your horses. The Duke don’t like to leave his customers high and dry. (Whistles to a cop and points to the kids)

Jimmy: We’re gonna pull up to prom in a cop car? Forget it.

Duke: Son your already in deeper than a stable boy after a month of Sundays (?). I’d take the car.

Hazel: We’ll take it Duke.

Duke: My pleasure. Folks have fun at the prom. Let’s dance cop.


Outside the dance

Mr. Simpson: C’mon!! (Hitting his steering wheel since his car won’t start)

Sean: I can help. Pop the hood. Won’t steal your engine, promise.


At Caitlin’s office

Caitlin: So I’m covering Sub Sahara and Africa first?

Thomas: Around the world in 9 months! You sure you wanna do this?

Caitlin: Thomas, yes!

Thomas: This afternoon you weren’t. (Joey walks in) We’ll talk more later.

Joey: What’s going on?

Caitlin: Plane leaves in a couple hours since I’m taking the job.

Joey: You walked out on me. Why?

Caitlin: I don’t know, crazy me, I thought you actually wanted me to move in.

Joey: I do! But if it takes a couple of months so what!?

Caitlin: It’s not a couple of months. Joey it’s almost a year and if you really loved me you wouldn’t want me to go.

Joey: I want you to go because I do love you and that’s never going to change. I promise.

Caitlin: You’ve made promises before Joey, promises you didn’t keep.

Joey: You have to ask yourself one thing; do you want to take this job or not?

Caitlin: Yeah I do.

Joey: Then I’ll be here waiting for you.

(Joey and Caitlin hug.)


Outside the dance

Sean: You’ve got serious problems.

Mr. Simpson: I’ll call for a tow. You go home.

Sean: No, I wanna help!

Mr. Simpson: Help, it’s a little late for that isn’t it? I was on death’s door. Spike blows her savings on a laptop to cheer me up and you stole it. What kind of person does that?

Sean: Your starters gone and your head gasket too. There’s oil and coolant all over my hands.

Mr. Simpson: Did you hear anything I just said?

Sean: The head may even be cracked. It’s a lot of work, weeks, but if you buy all the parts I’ll do all the labor for free. I want, I want to Mr. Simpson.

Mr. Simpson: So?

Sean: So I owe you. You might hate me, but this is the only way I can make it up. Please?


Inside the dance

Mr. Simpson: Sure you’re up to doing this? It’s a pretty big commitment.

Sean: I know, but I’m down with it.

Mr. Simpson: I gotta get back to the dance. We’ll see you Monday morning?

Sean: Yeah.

Ellie: Better?

Sean: I think it’s gonna be, yeah.


Marco on stage

Marco: Alright! Shubha ratri Degrassi! Welcome to our Bollywood Nights! Are we all having an amazing time or what?! Alright, so let’s decide how we’re gonna choose our king and queen. You’ll notice some voting boxes out-

(Curtains catch on fire.)

Liberty: Fire!!!

Mr. Simpson: All right everyone, we know the drill. We all need to move to the doors in a calm, quiet and (As sprinklers turn on) very wet fashion!


Outside the dance as Jimmy, Hazel, Paige and Spinner pull up in the cop car

Mr. Simpson: Guys keep moving please. Let’s get down all the way down the stairs. We’re gonna want to let these trucks go through alright?

Paige: Craig! What’s going on?

Craig: Uh those curtains that Marco picked out, they’re like totally flammable.

(Fire trucks pull up.)


Outside Caitlin’s office

(Beep, beep! A cab pulls up as Joey and Caitlin are kissing.)

Joey: Well I guess this is it…

Caitlin: For now!

(Joey and Caitlin kiss then she gets into the cab as Joey waves goodbye.)


Outside the dance, rock music is blasting and everyone’s dancing and having a good time

Marco: This is great and everything, but I know this amazing station that plays nothing but South Asian music so maybe if I told everybody…

Dylan: Marco, just let it go!! (They start dancing)


Off to the side

Hazel: Brooks what’s the problem?

Jimmy: Uh let’s see I’m wearing a sari, our limo driver was arrested and the school almost burned down.

Hazel: I meant with you.

Jimmy: Tonight was all about me showing you that I can do right and everything went wrong.

Hazel: And I don’t care! I don’t.

Paige: Here you are!

Spinner: C’mon you’re missing it!

Hazel: You wanna make me happy? There’s only one thing you have to do.

(She kisses Jimmy.)

Hazel: Dance with me.

(Mr. Simpson walks past Sean and smiles, Sean pulls Ellie into a hug.)
