All language subtitles for Degrassi TNG s10e07 Better Off Alone 1

All right, all right, fight!

I hope you're not still mad at me.

Call you tonight?

Can't wait.

Great catch in that last drive.

Mom?

Wow, almost three years. Look at you.

We should talk.

Everybody on the bus. Let's go.

Yeah, I have to go.

Your coach okayed it.

How long have you been playing football?

Just this year.

Yeah?

Your dad played football on his high
school team. He was terrible.

You can't just show up like this. How
else am I supposed to talk to you?

You don't take my calls. You don't
answer my emails.

I've been busy. There's school, sports,
the group home.

Not for long.

What do you mean?

I, uh...

I filed papers to regain custody, so
soon you and me could be living

I got an apartment a few blocks away.

What do you think?

I have a home.

And a life. You can't come back and mess
it up. Believe me, that's the last

thing I want to do.

Okay?

So I set up a meeting with your social
worker.

Awesome.

See you then.

Some of the greatest works of all time?

Letters. They reveal the hearts and
souls of world leaders, of great

and now, of you.

Miss Dawes, there must be some sort of
mistake. I've never gotten a C.

How did this happen?

Well, your early assignments were
divine, but recently your writing has

distant, impersonal.

I used... Complex sentence structure and
advanced vocabulary.

Yes, but your assignment didn't tell me
anything about who you are, what you

want. You can't hide behind vampire
fiction forever.

I'm not hiding.

Then prove it to your writing partner.

Me? Yeah, you.

You write well, but you're a little
wordy. You and Claire will be editing

other's work this semester.

Great. That'll be fun.

We may have a very special partnership
on our hands, people.

Like Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes.

Sylvia Plath killed herself.

He's just so... You know?

I get it, Claire. You're in love with
Eli. But can we talk about something

important here? Like how we can get
Drew's attention?

Ever since I laid eyes on him and you,
we were meant to be.

Uh, have you ever even talked to him?
You can't just talk to a guy like that,

Claire. You have to have strategy.

Well,

better come up with the best.

Hi,

Drew. Um, great game yesterday.

You're Sav's little sister, right?

I'll catch you later.

Has anyone ever died of familiation?

No, just permanently scarred.

Guess you were too busy to call last
night.

None of my business. I know, just wanted
to make sure you were okay.

My mom wants me to live with her.

That's good, right? I mean, it's gotta
be better than the group home.

No, it's work.

Way worth.

But, here's your mom.

No, she wasn't tweaked out.

I thought she was better.

It doesn't matter because I'm not living
with her. You can't just ignore your

mom.

Let's get started then.

Do you think this is too much for
tomorrow's church fundraiser?

You look pretty.

Oh, well, not too pretty, I hope.

Hey, what do you think?

What? Oh, the dress? Fine.

Randall. Here we go, that look again. I
didn't give you a look. Fine, I don't

want to argue.

Oh, then I guess your father and I just
won't talk at all.

You guys are fighting again.

We're not fighting.

We're disagreeing.

Don't worry, sweetie.

So let's discuss your transition from
the group home to your mom's. I can save

everyone's time because I'm staying
here.

The spaces in the group home are for
kids who don't have suitable

She's a junkie with a record.

How is that suitable?

I've been clean for two years.

Because it's hard to get crack in
prison.

Your mother's been working very hard to
turn her life around.

She's found a job and a place to live.
So she won't lock me in the closet while

she gets high again?

And I don't want to be around until the
next stunt she pulls, okay?

I think it's best if Casey and I could
have a chat alone.

Sure.

Call me anytime.

How could you do this to me? A mother
has a right and a duty to raise her

There must be something I can do.

Well, there are legal routes, but that
could take months, even years.

And there's no guarantee the court will
find in your favor. So that's it.

I'm just supposed to accept that she's
going to turn my life upside down. Or

could try and be proud of your mom.

It's hard to turn your life around.
She's doing it.

Why don't you spend some time with her?

See if things have changed.

And if I see they haven't?

Can I take the group home?

Let's deal with that when and if it
happens.

See this? This is the phone. Best
friends answer it.

Can we save the lecture until after I
finish my English assignment?

Then who's going to give me guy advice?

I don't know. Try a guy.

You're kind of a guy, right?

You see that?

Allie just smiled at me.

Thought you moved on. No, that's what I
wanted her to think. As soon as the

queen bee runs out of honey, she'll come
flying back to the hive.

Hey, Dave.

Can I talk to you privately?

You should write a book.

Oh, there's this guy I like.

And you don't know if he's into you.

Exactly.

How do I find out?

Yeah, you should spend time with him.

Lots of time.

I just need some sort of excuse, you
know?

Yeah. Everyone loves a party.

Well, my parents are away tonight.

Do you really think a party will work?

I guarantee it.

Thank you, Dean.

You're the best.

Good morning, class.

So, what do you think?

It's, um...

Awkwardly constructed, filled with
hyperbole, and generally sloppy.

The title's centered.

Dawes is right. I have writer's block.

So don't hand it in. And what?

Tell her the dog ate my homework?

Or you could take off.

You mean skip.

If you want to get official.

It would give me time to write a way
better assignment.

Decision time.

There you go.

Well, is it coming?

Well, thank you for the news, sir.

Big problems!

Degrassi test scores dropped a lot, so
the PTA wants to take away their funding

and put it towards academics, which
means no sport, no clubs, no fun.

Which is why I want to put on a student
showcase to show parents Degrassi's

brightest.

Sounds like a lot of work. It will be.

I'll meet you here after school to start
planning.

Guess you won't make that big Bandari
bass tonight.

What big Bandari bash?

It's more of a small get -together,
really.

Yeah, if Mom and Dad find out, I'm dead.

Listen, you have student council stuff
tonight, right? So you've never heard of

it. Totally not your responsibility.

Fine.

Don't go in my room.

So did I just hear you're hosting a
throwdown tonight?

Actually, more of that.

Small. Yeah. You want to come?

Come on.

Wow. This is a first.

Skipping school to do work.

Okay, I don't understand how you got an
A and I got a C. Simple.

I'm dating Ms. Dawes.

You're a good writer, but anyone could
have penned this piece.

There's no point of you. I wrote about
gun control. I say it's good.

Wow.

Controversial. Okay.

Fine.

What am I supposed to write about?

Something that pisses you off. Besides
my English partner?

Ouch.

If you could change one thing in the
world, what would it be?

My mom and dad.

They're not exactly getting along.

So write about that.

I can't. It's personal.

You care too much about what people
think.

That is not true.

Then prove it.

Scream. At the top of your lungs.

That's the best you could do.

Okay.

Your turn.

Yeah, I know my style.

What? No, you have to do it.

You have to do it.

Okay, hypothetical question here.

If I said I had the biggest crush on
you, what would you say?

I'd say I'm the luckiest guy on earth.

Even if there are like a million other
girls after you?

And I told them to take a hike.

Then I guess it's time to kick this
party into high gear.

Why? What did you have in mind?

I never.

Never what?

No, it's a game. You say something you
haven't done. Like, I've never driven a

car. And if you have, do you remove an
article of clothing?

Sounds awesome, but... Disappointing.

Want to miss me?

Well,

I hope the mac and cheese was okay.

Okay. Try amazing. This is Lisa.

You know, between the ages five and
seven, this was all Casey would eat. I

thought he would die of malnutrition.

He's excited, his taste. Oh, really?
What, pizza? And wings.

Nice.

I hope you have room for Grandma
Guthrie's apple pie, like you asked.

I'll have mine with ice cream.

Ah, nuts. I'm all out. Oh.

Bummer.

There's a store around the corner. Why
don't I just go get us some?

Okay?

I'll be right back.

How badly do you need ice cream?

I don't. I need to search the apartment.

For what?

Anything that proves I shouldn't live
here.

Don't say something I haven't done.

And anyone who has done it removes an
item of clothing.

Okay, well, never have I ever lied to my
folks.

Questions like that, and I'll be naked
in ten.

Ali, your turn.

What? Your turn.

Oh, right.

Why don't we let Drew show us how it's
done?

Do you insist?

Never have I ever sexted.

Long story.

It always is. It's your turn. Long
story.

Never have I ever liked anyone in this
room.

Allie, you know, it takes something off.
You have done it.

Yes, I'm still getting the hang of this
game.

I don't understand why you have to go
back to work tonight. Because the world

doesn't revolve around you and your
fundraisers, Helen.

Someone's got to do a little fundraising
for the family.

We made these plans weeks ago.

You made the plans, Helen.

Good night.

Everything okay?

Oh, Claire.

Any chance you want to sub in tonight?

Tonight? Never mind. Never mind. I'll be
fine.

I could wear my Navy dress.

Okay. I'll go iron it.

Never have I ever wanted to make out
with someone in this room.

Oh, wow. How did it get to be 8 o
'clock?

Yeah, we should probably jet.

That should get you beautifully.

No, no.

The party's just about to get awesome.

Well, all the more reason to end it.
Leave it on a high. Thanks for coming,

everyone.

All right.

Stick around and help clean up.

Uh, no need. Um, but thank you. Today
was perfect.

Casey, this isn't right. Your mom's
going to be home any minute.

Bingo. Told you my mom was guilty.

Of trying to stop a headache? This is...
Ibuprofen, and those are prescriptions.

You've got to accept your mom's changed.
No, she hasn't.

Newsflash. Alcohol, not illegal.

But an ex -addict shouldn't have it.

And she definitely shouldn't give it to
her son.

She didn't. That's not what we'll tell
my social worker.

What did she do that was so bad?

Sorry, it took so long.

First door was all out.

I hope vanilla bean is okay.

I think that sounds great.

Don't you, Casey?

Three, two, one.

You seem to be missing a watch.

Nope.

Oh, do you want to hang out more?

I can help you with the pie.

I thought my mom would never let us eat.

Yeah, she's a real monster.

Okay, so here's the plan.

You come back to the group home with me.

And, uh, I'll talk to my mom about this.

I can't lie.

Then it's just my word against her.

No one will believe me.

Because you won't be telling the truth.

Your mom's nice.

What makes you the expert on mothers?

Or has it left you?

Real life, Casey.

Where are you going?

Home.

I'm tired.

Why are you taking my mom's side?

Because maybe it's the right one.

Do you have a plan for that bottle?

Not anymore.

I might be able to help you with that.
