Épisode Tel est pris S04E06 - Degrassi : The Next Generation Saison 4

At the Dot

(Paige as a waitress at the Dot, she’s mixing up people’s orders and spilling things.)

Paige: Sixty seven pathetic cents.

Spinner: Hey stop. Stop. You may be poor but at least you’re pretty!

Paige: Please just tell me I’ve made a dent in what I owe you. A ding?

(The manager brings over the schedule.)

Paige: Ooh the new schedule.

The manager: Paige…

Spinner: Crap I work Saturday?

Paige: Um I don’t…Friday or Sunday either…hello do I ever work?

The manager: Sorry Paige, but you’re fired.


At Spinner’s locker

Manny: Hey. Nice sunburn. Looks pretty ouch.

Spinner: Yeah it is ouch. Um where’s yours?

Manny: It’s called sun block with a grease-free moisturizer follow.

Spinner: Paige uses moisturizer but hers is lavender.

(Spinner leans in to smell Manny as Craig walks around the corner.)

Spinner: I’m close enough to know that yours isn’t… lavender.

Craig: Hey idiot! Nice sunburn!

Manny: Library’s at the other side of the school. Bye.

Spinner: Am I the only one who got burned at this carwash?

Craig: Are you and Paige still tight?

Spinner: Yeah. Your point?

Craig: You and Manny have been talking a lot lately.

Spinner: Again, your point?

Craig: Hey look I’m just warning you.

Spinner: Hey it’s none of your business. And neither is Manny. Not this year.


In a classroom

Mr. Simpson: Welcome to the tryouts for Degrassi’s official trivia team! I want you to all partner off and we’re going to start with a little warm-up.

Toby: Partners Emma?

Emma: Sorry I’m with Heather.

Rick: Heartbreaking. I myself have Ms. Nelson pegged at number 3. I’ve got this list. It’s not some kind of crass rating system. Let’s see… ranking system.

Toby: Your set.

Rick: I’m organized. Writing out goals helps realize them.

Mr. Simpson: What’s the world’s largest glacier?

Toby: The Lamar glacier?

Rick: He’s correct. It’s in Antarctica

Mr. Simpson: I think you two might make a good team.


In the cafeteria

Hazel: I love soup.

Paige: That was random.

Ashley: Hey soups good!!

(Paige bumps into Hazel and Ashley making them spill.)

Hazel: Paige!

Spinner: (laughing) Crash Michaelchuk. World champion destroyer. Two down with one tray!

Jimmy: Hazel I’m gonna get you some napkins. Sun stroke got you too tired to move!?

Paige: Hey that’s my lunch.

Spinner: (talking with his mouth full) More salt next time!

Hazel: Spinner!

Paige: Spin endured the Dot for a year for a car I totaled in two minutes. He can joke and snack. He’s allowed.


At the movie theater

Mary: Your application says you worked at a Dot just not for how long…

Paige: It’s the old you can’t get a job without experience.

Mary: You can’t get experience without a job.

Paige: I’m a terrible waitress. More than one table and my mind goes… which is why this job is perfect. One customer at a time. Get them their drinks, their popcorn and next!

Mary: How are you at teamwork though?

Paige: Oh I’m team! I cheer for team.

(She looks up and sees Alex working there.)

Paige: Go team.


Walking into the school

Toby: Uh you look pretty today Emma.

Emmy: Thanks Toby.

JT: (Mimicking Emma) Thanks Toby.

Toby: Okay I made a list and gee guess what, my goals, not realistic!

Rick: Relinquish the list Toby.

Toby: It’s in my head.

Rick: I told you mine!

Toby: Fine there’s Emma.

Rick: Not entirely surprised.

Toby: Uh Ellie Nash.

Rick: Ooh nice alternative!

Toby: Hazel.

Rick: A couple of very fine attributes on that one. There’s a set of role playing dice I’ve had my eye on for oh so long. What we need is courage and all I’m proposing is a challenge.

Toby: What kind of challenge?

Rick: Loser buys the dice. Winner gets it. Whoever can manage a kiss from any girl on that list before last bell.

Toby: Narrow it down to Emma and we’re on.

(They shake hands.)


In the computer lab

Paige: I can’t just go in there and talk to her. Alex hates me. I hate Alex.

Spinner: So? Perfect chance to make a new friend!

Paige: Spin please! We’re talking my pride here! How much is it worth?!

Spinner: How much… um about $1200 and uh…

Paige: Alex. Um can we talk a sec?

Alex: You’re not calling me dog face?

Mr. Simpson: Okay internet lovers! Two minutes until homeroom so please log off!

Paige: Just one second please. We’ve had our issues I know, but hun you see how much I do around here that I’m employee material.

Alex: I wouldn’t worry about it. I put in a perfectly bad word for you.


In Ms. Hatzilakos’ class

Toby: Uh, standing up for Rick like you did…I’ve decided to follow your lead.

Emma: What do you want Toby?

Toby: We’ve got this game going, it’s kind of scavenger hunt-ish. (Whispers) If I get a kiss I win!

(Emma kisses Toby on the cheek.)

Toby: Ha! I win, which means you lose!! You are a loser!

Emma: Nice way to follow my lead Toby. Just so you’re not lonely!

(Emma kisses Rick on the cheek.)

Rick: Ha ha ha! It’s a tie! The game was supposed to end in 3…2…1. Which means that tomorrow to break the tie we need a new game.

Ms. Hatzilakos: Alright class put away the microscopes, clean up your work areas and I’ll see you next class!


In the hallway Paige and Hazel are putting up pictures from the carwash

Paige: My last hope was a movie theatre concession, with Alex. In a mall!

Hazel: You’re so better than that.

Paige: Tell that to the moundo debt I owe Spinner.

Hazel: You’re also better than him.

Paige: What are you talking about?

Hazel: I miss the old you with the old Spinner. Trailing behind, obedient and slightly afraid!

Paige: That was before I smashed his car!

Hazel: The car of the freak that raped you! Good boyfriends don’t hold you to things like that. And good boyfriends also don’t do this! (Shows Paige the picture of Spinner and Manny looking really close)

Paige: Is that…Spinner and Manny are friends. It’s nothing.


At the Dot

Spinner: Rule is. You get fired, you don’t pop by.

Paige: Another rule. Love clutches are banned with girls who aren’t me.

Spinner: It’s a hug!

Paige: Nearness comes in varying degrees. Come here. Come on! This! This is a hug…

(Paige hugs Spinner.)

Spinner: Uh sunburn Paige!

Paige: now this! (Grabs him even tighter hurting him)

Spinner: Paige!!!

Paige: All you have to do is tell me that it was nothing… Spinner!!

Spinner: I have to… I have to get back to work.


In the cafeteria

Paige: Did you hear about those two? Totally shacking up!

Hazel: I know!

Paige: Hard to believe Ellie is beating me and Spin in the dating Olympics.

Hazel: And by more than a nose!

Paige: I know. By a lot. (Looking at Spinner across the room) Deny it, confirm it, just don’t avoid me all day.


In the hallway

Jay: Slam!

Rick: What? (Jay slams Rick into the lockers)

Jay: I said slam! Now pay attention next time.

Toby: You okay?

Rick: Yeah, yeah, yeah why wouldn’t I be? So uh yesterday’s challenge was far too easy. We’re gonna have to go for quantity not quality today.

Toby: Okay.

Rick: Alright so new day, new challenge. Whoever gets the most girls to kiss them before the end of the day wins. Loser buys the dice. I’ve uh made up some charts and stuff. You know. Age, location…

Toby: Sure that’s a good idea?

Rick: Sure you’re not a big wuss?

Toby: Okay but you’re gonna have to be good!

(Toby bangs his arm on the locker.)

Toby: Ahh oohh! Ow!

Manny: Toby what’s wrong?

Toby: I banged my arm! It hurts!

Manny: Aw poor baby! Is there anything that I can do to help?

(Manny kisses his elbow before walking away.)


In the gym, the Spirit Squad is practicing

Paige: 5, 6, 7, 8! 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8! K Manny let’s uh try listening to the beat this time. Let’s do it again. 5, 6, 7, 8! 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8!

(Spinner walks into the gym.)

Paige: Alright, just work on technique for a few.

Spinner: Can we talk?

Paige: You mean instead of ignoring me?

Spinner: Okay I admit it. I had some guilty thoughts.

Paige: You have thoughts?

Spinner: Just like you did last year with that stupid drivers ed teacher.

Paige: Falcone was not all over me, half naked at a car wash!

Spinner: Anyway…what I came here to tell you is that…in the end all my thoughts come back to you.

(Hands her some flowers.)

Paige: Flowers are nice. Especially if they’re not carnations.

(Paige’s cell rings.)

Paige: I don’t know who this is. Hello? Hi. Mary! Yeah I’m still into the job!


In the hallway

(Rick is trying to get girls to kiss him and Toby is actually having lots of girls kiss him. Toby sees Rick getting upset and ripping his list.)

Darcy: This friend of yours… He’s really losing that bad?

Toby: I thought he was gonna cry. Oh here he comes.

Darcy: Poor guy!

Toby: Yeah, yeah. Poor guy.

Darcy: He’s the one they keep pushing into lockers. Why does everyone around here hate him so much?

Toby: So will uh $5 change your mind?

Darcy: Yeah.

(Darcy walks over to Rick as he’s walking by.)

Darcy: Where’d you get your glasses?

Rick: Um the optometrist…

Darcy: I like ‘em!

Rick: Um my friend and me…we have this game going.

Darcy: Anything I can do to help you win?

Rick: A kiss. It doesn’t have to be on the lips, it doesn’t even have to be on the…

(Darcy kisses him on the cheek and Jay is watching from upstairs.)


At Paige’s locker

Hazel: So you’re a couple again?

Paige: Uh we never stopped.

(Hazel sighs and shakes her head.)

Paige: The Hazel headshake. Do not make me suffer.

Hazel: You let him treat you like garbage he’ll keep doing it!

Paige: Thank you Oprah, Dr. Phil and uh everyone else in the world.

Hazel: Paige…

Paige: Just back off okay? Unless you’d like me to give you play by plays on your relationship with Jimmy. I’m gonna be late for work.


At the theatre, Paige & Alex are working

Alex: Drinks need ice!

Paige: Sorry!

Alex: While it’s pouring…

Paige: Uh Popcorn! Right. Sorry. (Spills some butter on the floor)

Alex: I’ll wipe it up! And don’t say sorry!

Paige: Enjoy your show!

Paige: Hi can I interest you in a…

(She looks up and sees Spinner.)

Paige: What are you doing?

Spinner: Well I’m here to support you in your first shift wearing man-made fibers and I want a large popcorn. Only! Could you stop half way for butter?!

(Paige puts some butter on it.)

Spinner: Little more.

(Paige puts some more.)

Spinner: Just a bit more.

Paige: Any more and you’ll get grease stains on your pants honeybee.

Spinner: Okay so a quarter more popcorn.

(Paige puts more popcorn in it.)

Spinner: And a smidge of more butter!

(Paige puts more butter in it.)

Spinner: Good girl.

Craig: (Giving Spinner a dirty look) That’s nice.

Spinner: No, it’s good training.


After the crowds died down, still at the theatres

Paige: Wanna check to see if I cleaned the nacho sludge thingy right?

Alex: The fact that you, Paige, did it at all is amazing.

Paige: No worse than clearing my brother’s hair out of the bath tub.

(Alex tosses Paige some candy.)

Paige: Thanks.

Alex: Thought we hired you…not your boyfriend? Real sweet guy!

Paige: The jerk you just experienced is usually a little less of a jerk.

Alex: Not that I’d ever admit this but I used to be scared of you.

Paige: Please! I’m so not scary.

Alex: No. You’re a coward and a suck because if my boyfriend showed up here and treated me that way I’d be shopping for a new boyfriend.


After the guys’ movie finished

Craig: Well that move was surreal.

Marco: It wasn’t surreal. If it were surreal Koback would have been played by like a goat!

Jimmy: Okay tell me again why did Koback kill that guy?

Craig: Why do you think!? Jealousy!

Spinner: I knew Koback reminded me of someone!

Craig: What’s that?

Spinner: Nothing man. Just a joke. Relax.

Marco: Spin. Come on! Leave Paige alone! She SO suffered enough.

Spinner: So how’s the rest of your shift going my booty blossom?

Paige: You really wanna help? Give the girl who lost her license a ride home.

Spinner: You don’t get off work for another 2 hours.

Craig: There’s so much to be jealous about Spin. I mean your charm, your way with women.

Spinner: You’re crazy man.

Craig: Ooh nice comeback genius.

(Spinner smacks Craig on the face.)

Spinner: That one better for you?

Paige: Bag of grossness coming through.

Craig: You were always jealous of Manny and me!

Spinner: Yeah well now you’re jealous of Manny and me!!

(The guys start fighting and wrestling around on the floor.)

Paige: Stop it! Get off of each other!! I work here! Go!!

Mary: I’ve called security! Are you gonna wait for them to arrive?

(The guys jump up and take off.)

Paige: I told them to leave!

Mary: Hand in your uniform!

Paige: No Mary!!

Mary: You’re fired.


At school

Toby: My eleven kisses to your one! You know I attribute my success to my silky cheek.

(Rick passes him the dice.)

Rick: You are the victor I accept that. But none of your kisses are even close to the one I got.

Toby: And you still won’t tell me who!

Rick: Let’s say in this case it’s about quality, not quantity. This has given me all the confidence I need.

Toby: To what??

(Jay walks up and Rick runs off.)

Jay: Survival instinct has the oldest and strongest member of the pack protecting the young and the weak.

Toby: I’m weak. I’m practically feeble.

Jay: Yeah well, word’s out that a 9er’s getting stalked by a certain psycho.

Toby: Look. Rick’s my friend! I was just trying to save him from humiliation.

(Jay shoves Toby into a locker.)

Toby: Come on man! Let me out! Come on!

Jay: Too bad he’s not here to save you now!


In the cafeteria

Paige: I was just thinking, gee I hope Alex comes by to gloat.

Alex: You have a shift tomorrow. The new scampi movie’s out so we’ll have a ton of over-sugared toddlers.

Paige: You’re not funny. I’m fired.

Alex: It wasn’t your fault I talked to Mary for you…so be there!

(Alex walks away as Spinner walks over to Paige.)

Spinner: Um. I’m sorry okay?

Paige: For uh? Getting me canned on my very first shift? No prob.

Spinner: Wait, you got fired?!

Paige: Don’t worry your paychecks safe.

Spinner: That’s not all I care about.

Paige: Right. There’s always Manny.

Spinner: So that’s it huh? Gotta make me the bad guy here. Put me back in my place.

Paige: If anyone’s been put in her place lately, it’s me!!

Spinner: Listen I’m sorry about last night.

Paige: Spinner don’t.

Spinner: Why are you so hung up on this?!

Paige: Because last night you weren’t fighting over me. Look we’ll figure out some kind of payment schedule or something. I’ve had enough of this.

Spinner: Paige!

Paige: Spin. I’ve had enough of you.
