Épisode Coup sur coup S04E04 - Degrassi : The Next Generation Saison 4

Outside of the school

(Rick is outside talking with his mom and Mr. Raditch.)

Paige: Someone tell me I’m hallucinating.

Emma: Who is he?

Spinner: Remember our friend Terri McGregor? The girl who was in a coma last year.

Paige: He’s the psycho that put her there. His name’s Rick, her ex. He used to beat her.

Spinner: Yeah and he’s your new classmate Emma. He starts tenth grade tomorrow.

Emma: We have to do something!

Alex: I know! Let’s adopt a dolphin. Treat him to defend us from Rick!

Emma: Or we can talk to Mr. Raditch.

Alex: Sure, me and Marco can handle that without you!


-At Liberty’s outside by the hot tub, Manny’s in the hot tub-

JT: Take my hand! (Manny takes his hand) Now pull!!

(JT farts as Manny pulls his hand.)

JT: Oh I could not resist! Oh god! Ohhh!

(Liberty brings out some fancy tropical drinks and hands one to Manny.)

Manny: Thanks. So you’re sure your dad doesn’t mind us using his hot tub like this?

Liberty: Sometimes Manny you just have to say what the heck!

Manny: You know who loves hot tubs? Emma Nelson!

Liberty: No. Emma lives for stabbing me in the back, ripping out your heart and stomping it bloodless with her pointy ballerina feet.

Manny: To tenth grade! (They clink glasses)

(JT and Toby are play fighting in the background.)

Manny: We’re gonna be 16 this year.

Liberty: To the future! To growing up and to leaving childish things behind.

Manny: To leaving childish things behind.

(Danny runs out with an ironing board.)

Liberty: Danny Van Zandt! That’s mom’s ironing board!

Danny: It was. Now it’s a diving board! You gotta live outside the box!

JT: And now diving for Canada in the sexy red trunks! James Tiberius York!

(Danny pulls down his swim trunks and everyone starts laughing.)

Toby: Look! It’s a stack of dimes!


At school

Marco: ‘I always knew you were a smart boy Marco’. Can you believe he said that?

Emma: Wow. You guys really handled Raditch.

Rick: Marco. Paige. Spinner. Jimmy. (Walks away when they all glare at him)

(Emma walks up and stands in front of Rick and moves so he can’t get around her.)

Rick: Excuse me. I’ve got to get by.

Mr. Raditch: Emma step aside.

Emma: We don’t want him here Mr. Raditch!

Mr. Raditch: This isn’t one of your little crusades Emma. This is serious. I’m warning you. Stay out of it.


At Manny’s locker

JT: So what are we doing Friday night? You, me, couch, a romantic DVD?

Manny: Um… you know what, I think I might be busy…

JT: Oh… Is something wrong? It’s just you’ve been kind of distant since the hot tub party. It’s not my…you know.

Manny: No, no. That was stupid and embarrassing. You must feel awful!

JT: Nothing a kiss can’t cure!

(They start to kiss and Manny pulls away when she sees Craig.)

Manny: Craig! Hi.

Craig: Hi. Sorry to interrupt.

Manny: Oh that’s okay, you weren’t interrupting anything. So, how was your summer?

Craig: Nothing special. You?

Manny: Same.

Craig: Well I better get going. Bye.

JT: Bye Craig. Nice to see you too!


In the locker room

JT: Hey Manny, I’m stalker Craig! Can I lurk around while you kiss JT?

Danny: I’d lurk too! Manny’s smoking!

Toby: Maybe Manny’s still hot for him.

JT: Please!

Toby: Look JT, in four months you and Manny have barely even kissed. Don’t you think something’s wrong?

JT: Craig. Mono o mono. Manny is my girlfriend.

Craig: Ok.

Craig: And I need you to respect that.

Craig: I do. Whatever.

JT: It’s just that you know sometimes you hang (JT sees Craig’s penis when his towel is off) down and it…I mean around!! Sometimes you hang around!! And it’s just.

Craig: What are you looking at?!? (Quickly wraps the towel back around himself)

JT: What are you talking about?

Craig: What do you mean, what am I talking about?! You were! You were checking out my…

JT: No! No! I wasn’t! I just…

Spinner: What?!?!

JT: No, no Spinner! I wasn’t! That’s a lie!! That’s a horrible lie!!


At Paige’s locker

Rick: Paige, a moment? Um I was thinking maybe we could talk… maybe bury the hatchet.

Paige: You put my friend in a coma!!

Rick: One, I know I let my anger get the better of me last year. And two, I’m in counseling. I’m even seeing Ms. Sauve. How…how is Terri anyway?

(Paige walks away upset into the washroom where Emma follows her.)

Emma: Paige? Paige…

Paige: If you tell anyone about this…

Emma: I won’t. Honest.

Paige: There is a psycho in our school Emma and no one is doing a damn thing about it.

Emma: We will! Together.

Paige: Okay, but I’m not so good at this whole protest thing.

Emma: That’s okay ‘cause I am. Just don’t call me ‘cause girl’ okay?

Paige: So uh Emma, what are you doing now?

Emma: I was gonna go home.

Paige: After you have a green tea frappe with me at the Dot!

Emma: Gotta go sip a frap with Paige. Have fun in your hot tub!


At the Dot

Paige: Mac lip glass! It smells like vanilla!

Emma: I can’t, it’s expensive.

Paige: Go ahead. Hazel and I always share. We’re cosmetics communists.

(Rick walks in.)

Spinner: Psycho at 6:00!

Paige: My god, I can’t believe this. Let’s go.

Emma: No.

(Emma stands up and walks over to him.)

Emma: We don’t want you at Degrassi.

Rick: I have a right to an education. Look what I did to Terri last year was horrible but I’m getting therapy. I’ve changed.

Emma: I don’t care. Find another school Rick or you’ll be sorry.

Rick: Is that a threat? Because Mr. Raditch warned you. You can’t touch me.

Emma: Maybe not at Degrassi!

(Emma grabs his arm and pushes him outside and holds the door shut so he can’t get back in.)

Paige: Okay, suddenly! Emma’s cooler than me!


At school

(Paige and Emma are handing around ribbons and collecting money.)

Emma: Support students against violence! Show the school where you stand.

Paige: All proceeds go to the women’s shelter. Thanks guys.

Emma: Support students against violence! Thank you.

Sean: This is about Rick isn’t it?

Emma: It’s a silent protest. We want to pressure Rick. Make his life hell.

Paige: Without breaking any rules whatsoever. Emma’s a genius. There’s nothing Raditch can do.

Ellie: Wow. Such heroes.

Paige: Wanna buy a ribbon?

Emma: Support students against violence!


In the boys bathroom

Danny: Guys! Check it out! I have the solution to JT’s little problem!

JT: A penis pump?! How’d you buy this?

Danny: Well I didn’t. (Holds up his fake ID) Gunther Van Eisenstadt did. Take it out!

Toby: Not out here!

(They go into a stall.)

Danny: The guy said it’ll turn your garden snake into an anaconda!

JT: I am not putting my thing in there!! It’s a snake! Snake’s bite!

Danny: Don’t be stupid! It’s decoration.

Toby: Let’s see how this thing works. Step one: insert member into tub.

JT: Tub? You’re not a tub…

Danny: They mean tube!

JT and Toby: Ooohh! (laughing)

Toby: Step two: Use hand pup to make fun suction. Who wrote this?!

Danny: Forget the instructions! You wangle it in the tube and you pump!

JT: Okay! Okay I got it! I got it!

(The boys leave the stall and see Craig in the bathroom.)

JT: Uh… Craig.

Craig: You don’t have to explain… really!!


In the hall

(Rick is walking down the hall and people are bumping into him on purpose and blocking him from walking and one guy pushes him into a locker. He drops his books and people kick them. He goes into the cafeteria and nobody lets him sit with them.)

Chris: Sit somewhere else punk!

(People start clapping when Rick leaves the cafeteria.)


In Ms. Kwan’s classroom

Spinner: So um Ms. Kwan asked us to read a verse that speaks to our hearts. And this verse like Kid Elrick speaks to mine:
I want to find me a girl to love.
A girl with wealth and class.
But most of all I want me a girl with a bootylicious…

Ms. Kwan: Enough Gavin!! (kids are laughing) Take your seat!! Okay who’s next?

Rick: May I? Um I’d like to read you some thoughts from Mahatma Gandhi:
The weak can never forgive.
Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.
It is the galley of the brave, not the coward.

(Spinner throws a ball of paper at Rick.)

Ms. Kwan: Gavin!! Principal’s office now!! Now!


In the hallway

JT: Danny!! The cobra has landed! I just went for a walk with the king.

Danny: Did it work?!

JT: I think so!

Danny: Well, let her be the judge!!

Manny: JT’s gonna come over here. I know it! Why won’t he leave me alone?

Liberty: Because he’s your boyfriend. Look Manny, if that’s how you feel about him then you need to break up.

Manny: No… I can’t.

Liberty: But you can’t go on like this. Just sit him down tonight and do it!

JT: Hey!

Manny: Hi.

JT: I was wondering if maybe you wanted to come over to my place after school.

Manny: Umm… umm. Yeah okay.


In another hallway

Rick: One, it will only take a minute. Two, it’s to give you this. It’s a check.

Emma: I can’t take your money Rick. The whole ribbon campaign is about you.

(He holds out the check.)

Emma: $500??

Rick: $554.16 to be exact. I’d donate more, but it’s all I have.

Emma: You can’t buy forgiveness Rick.

Rick: It’s an anonymous donation. No one needs to know but you.

Alex: Too late. Nobody wants your guilt money!

Rick: Alex, listen to me!

Alex: Or what, freak? You’re gonna put me in a coma? (Rick walks away)

Emma: Alex can I have the check please?

(Alex rips it up.)

Emma: Nice. Real nice Alex… maybe if you cared about the cause!

Alex: What do you know about it? You ever ice your mom’s lip, bandage her up, lay awake at night listening to her cry? Didn’t think so!!


In JT’s bedroom

(Manny knocks on his bedroom door.)

JT: Entrée!

Manny: What happened in here?

JT: Oh nothing, I just made it a little cozier. (Pats the bed)

Manny: Are you nervous?

JT: No! Not at all! (They start kissing)

Manny: Um, your lips are kind of sweaty.

JT: Oh sorry! I guess I am kind of nervous!

Manny: I have to go to the bathroom.

JT: Alright! No rush. I guess I could use a minute to freshen up.

Manny: (outside leaning against the door) Suck it up. You can do this.

(Manny walks back in as JT’s using the penis pump.)

JT: Um! I can explain!!!

(Manny rushes out.)


At the Dot

Paige: Did you see Heather Sinclair’s eyebrows?? Tragically over plucked!

Emma: They should confiscate her tweezers or something!

(Rick walks in and goes up to the counter.)

Paige: What is he doing here again??

Alex: He probably came to see his new crush, Emma!

Paige: What’s she talking about?

Emma: Nothing! Rick talked to me. It was no big deal.

Alex: Didn’t seem that way to me.

Paige: If you’re starting to wimp out and feel sorry for that psycho…

Emma: I’m not. Honest!

Rick: Afternoon Emma!

(Emma doesn’t say anything and then trips Rick and he falls on the floor spilling his drink.)

Jay: That’s it. It’s on!!

(Jay takes Rick outside and everyone follows.)

Emma: Let him go!!

Alex: You started this Cause Girl!

Rick: What are you gonna do, hurt me??

Jay: (Takes Rick’s glasses and puts them on) One, violence is never the answer! Two, we don’t care!!

(Jay punches Rick and drops his glasses, then steps on them.)

Jay: Whoops!

Rick: Who wants the next shot? Spinner?

Alex: Me!!

(Emma steps in front of Alex and grabs her arm.)

Alex: Ribbon campaign’s over Emma!

Emma: Yeah, so is this!!

(Everyone walks away except for Emma and Rick.)


Outside somewhere, JT is holding flowers

JT: Manny!

Manny: Go away JT!

JT: Will you let me explain? I was just trying to live up to Craig.

Manny: What?!

JT: I saw him in the locker room… naked. And it became obvious to me that he has something that I don’t.

Manny: You know what JT! Craig does have something that you don’t. Maturity! And I don’t mean his size! I mean the way he acts. You’re always farting and joking around.

JT: I’m sorry! Just give me another chance okay? I can change!

Manny: No JT, I’m sorry. It’s over.


Outside school

(Paige and Hazel walk by and look at Emma but don’t say anything, then Rick walks up to Emma.)

Emma: Nice glasses.

Rick: They’re from 6th grade. I um… I wanted to thank you.

Emma: Well don’t. Things got out of hand and I stopped it. It doesn’t mean I like you and it doesn’t mean we’re friends. But Rick, why did you come back here?

Rick: I like it at Degrassi. Well… I used to. I was horrible but I’ve changed. All those people who hate me I want to let them see who I really am. Show them how wrong they are.

Emma: Well they’re not interested Rick.

Rick: They will be. Someday.
