Original subtitles

I'm like, whoa, the California sun. I'm like, whoa, this ride has just begun.

I'm like, whoa, just like it's a machine gun. With our guitars, they're all I

care about.

I'm Shantae, Degrassi's unofficial video blogger.

You must be the diplomat's kid.

Word travels.

And I'm the destination.

So, what brings the upper crust to Degrassi?

Old man's a public education attache.

Private school's bad politics.

We're boring, believe me.

So, what's the deal here? Who are the players?

Holly J is the de facto student council pres.

The band, Stooges, just shot a movie in L .A. The singer's girlfriend is

Degrassi's next top model.

Speak of the devil.

Oh, she's back from gay Paris.

All the photo shoots in the world couldn't keep me from a Stooges show.

All right, congrats, guys. You're in the Winter Beach Bash.

Lady, we are the Winter Beach Bash.

Oh, did I tell you I'm a master musician now?

You got into the music program?

Well, basically.

You can't expect these guys to make it look cool on their own.

That's amazing, Peter.

I know.

Messer's all about me and you, baby.

Woo!

Whatever it takes, I know I can make it through.

If I pull out, I know I can make it through.

We bet that I can be whatever it takes.

I know I can make it. I can make it. I can make it through.

Whatever it takes. I know I can make it through.

So, for the blog, what does your bestie couple of the week go by?

Mia Ter?

Pia?

Wow, we're combo worthy.

But who really wants to read the story of a girl juggling her daughter, high

school, and a modeling career?

And her rock star boyfriend.

Mia, you just spent the weekend in Paris. You're what we call aspirational.

Newbie alert. This is Fiona and Declan. See ya.

Where did you tour Mr. and Mrs. High School?

Yeah, Peter, sup?

Mia Jones.

I hear you model.

Oh, my mom's in with T .O. Fashion Mag. New style editor.

Should hook you up someday.

And your band rocks, sir. Yeah, check us out Friday night.

I wouldn't miss the beach bash.

It's refreshing to hear lyrics that aren't trying to be intelligent.

Totally. Thanks.

Sure beats the diplomat schmooze fest my parents are throwing tomorrow anyway.

And who gets the schmooze at this fest?

Oh, rich old guys, fashion and media type.

Anyone who's anyone.

Does it sound so bad?

No PDAs in school back then.

Claire!

Alex!

Show me your coffee.

They're almost all the same, even the non -gifted electives.

I'm so glad to be back at school.

Later, honey.

Attention to crafty. It's pizza day in the cab. Two dollars gets you two

Thank you. Watch out with that thing. What are you, Neil or something?

Sorry.

I'm Jenna. I'm Claire.

This is Allie. We're BFFs.

I'm so glad all the girls here don't hate each other. My old school was back,

Sab High.

Uh,

that's my seat. Welcome back, everybody.

Sir, she's... Jenna Middleton. Hi. Welcome to the graphic.

Dude, did you nail it? Are you psyched? You know, I had to beg Mr. Fowler to get

you that audition.

Dude, I rocked an entire Hollywood film crew. In a bag.

Sweet. Now we can all take seats at the next level.

Who knew that going to school could actually help you become a rock star?

Good morning, master musicians.

I see Mr. Levine has given you your handout packages.

Peter, I didn't see you there.

Yeah, I just sort of showed up.

Did you get my email? I was hoping to see you after class.

I'm sorry, but we don't have a place for you here right now.

Whatever that loser is, he'll know the first thing about music.

When did our school become some bizarre white version of fame? Please tell me it

hasn't, because I can't dance.

Or sing.

Not like Jenna. She is so nice.

And clap your... Bite your tongue, Claire.

Nobody is sunshine and rainbows all the time.

And we have our final performer for the beach bash.

Congrats. Thanks so much, Miss J.

So, Miss Pretty Smile and Perfect Teeth, what's your deal?

You think I'm pretty?

Thanks, Allie, but I'm not half as pretty as you.

So you didn't get in.

Just do regular school.

Mia, I've, like, tasted fame or whatever.

Being regular sucks.

Peter.

Peter, look at me.

You can do whatever you want.

How did I luck in?

to dating the most amazing girl in the world.

Not really, Mia. If I didn't have you, then I don't know.

Can your mom babysit later?

She is.

I'm meeting with my agent. She's trying to set up another shoot.

Again? How many shoots do you need?

As I said, I've been turning down a lot of jobs lately.

Yeah, well, wasn't that part of the plan?

Put modeling on the back burner and focus on the more important stuff?

What makes you think it's not important?

Well, it's just a job, right? A way to pay the bills while you're still young

and hot.

So... priorities or whatever.

Since when are you the expert on priorities?

Thanks for being supportive, Peter.

Mia, can we still hang out right before school?

No, I'm picking up Izzy.

Trouble in paradise?

Yeah, laugh it up, new guy.

It's not against the grassy rules for me to eat lunch with my new pal, is it?

Don't be my pal, get me and Mia into your party.

She'd love to meet your mom.

The makeup gesture.

Well done, sir.

Well, can you help a guy out or no?

I don't complain about having the lovely me in attendance.

She'll wear something low -cut, I assume.

Whatever she wears, keep your eyes to yourself.

All right, sir?

All right, sir.

Here's the info.

Fair up.

We're going to analyze the bacterial components of cheek scrapings.

Swabs, people?

What are you doing?

You and Jen are my great partners. Have fun.

Open wide, Claire Bear.

Hi. I thought you had a meeting.

It turned into a phone call.

Is everything okay?

Good. I have a surprise.

I got it since the Declan swanky party thing. He's going to introduce you to

mom. Oh my God, that's amazing.

I'm sorry for being such a knob, babe. I'll be more supportive, I promise.

You have no idea how good it makes me feel to hear you say that.

Why? What's going on?

I have a surprise too.

Don't get mad, but you are looking at the new Eurofresh face.

What? Wow.

These girls are hot.

My face is going to be everywhere. I'm going to be in every fashion magazine in

Europe. That's so cool. Can you make it work with school and everything?

Peter, this contract, it's worth 250 grand.

Are you serious?

Wait.

Why would I be mad?

Um.

Okay. I have to move to Paris.

Paris, France?

When?

Saturday.

My mom and Izzy are coming after Izzy finishes school. I'm sorry, Peter.

So you're just leaving?

Don't worry, though. We'll make the long -distance thing work.

You can come visit in the summer.

Yeah. Okay, sure.

Okay, I have to go find some stuff. They're giving me a rush visa.

But, um, I'll see you tomorrow at school, okay?

A

roughly

burrito for my bestie.

So we are still friends?

Why wouldn't we be?

Oh, I don't know. Science class?

Like they say, keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

So Jenna's our enemy now? And by working with our wolf in little baby lamb's

clothing, you'll discover all her dirty little secrets.

Yeah, I bet she's totally into Satan.

You never know.

You're making all the right choices. This is really the best way for you to

finish your school year. You know what? I'm really proud of you. Thank you so

much. Good luck, okay?

It's like you made Simpsons Day.

Oh, it's awesome. You found me a tutor in Paris, so I'll be able to finish my

semester.

Sounds like you'd be pretty busy.

Yeah, I may have to miss a fashion party or two, but I'll make it work.

Speaking of skipping parties, I think you should go to Declan's thing tonight

without me.

Why? Don't you want to go?

What is that?

It's just, like, your stuff.

Are you breaking up with me?

No, Peter, come on, don't do this.

Mia, you're gonna be like 5 ,000 miles away, surrounded by guys falling in love

with you.

And that's exactly why I need to know that you're gonna be here for me.

What if I move to Paris with you?

What about...

School and your parents.

I'm emancipated, remember?

I stole money from the movie.

I didn't want to ask.

I mean, moving is crazy, but... I would love to have my boyfriend there.

Casey, where's Claire?

I thought she was with you.

No, and she won't text me back.

I just got one.

Wishing me luck with my probation officer.

Not that I have one.

This is way harder than it looks.

That's what he said.

Ew, Jenna!

So tonight, more lessons or science assignments?

Allie and I usually do a TV slash homework night.

Friendship priorities.

Cool.

You know what?

Come over. It'll be fun.

You're sure Allie won't mind?

Of course not. She's not the jealous type.

This is no high school, Dan.

Hey, that's my jacket. Oh, sorry.

Chick just took my coat.

Get used to it. You're up. Mama's getting by to this kind of stuff all the

Yeah, more proof these rich peeps aren't dumb.

Well, now what?

Well, it is the shmooze fest.

I wonder if it's Jacqueline's mom.

Go hang with the kids.

So, uh, this is our humble abode for the next six months or so.

Only six months?

Could be more, could be less.

Could put my brats through a long time.

Here.

Never had raw oysters?

Looks like a loogie.

See, don't you just love how parochial Mia's boyfriend is?

Is that supposed to mean?

Oh, parochial?

Uh... Lacking in worldly experience.

But not in a bad way.

I like to say he keeps it real.

Like in his band, he writes his own songs and lyrics.

Yeah, we just spent two weeks in L .A. The party's there below this news fest

out of the water.

Well, why don't you show everyone how you throw it on Cali -style, then?

Get up there.

Play that woe song.

No, I don't even have a hat.

Oh, no problem.

Hey, uh, Skip, can my friend borrow your guitar?

It's all yours there, sir.

No, Declan, forget it.

Hey, everyone.

Having a good time?

Okay, it's time to turn this news fest into a students' fest. Here's the

guy at my new high school, Peter... something... Really?

Come on, sir, there's Star Trek today.

Hello, everybody.

Hello.

Sure, why not?

My nails get totally trashed playing guitar.

One of the youthful things my older sister taught me.

At least you have a sister.

Three half -brothers here.

Oh, cute.

You look such a girl.

Am I interrupting?

Hey, Allie, we were just doing some science homework, and then... You

became friends with her? I'm sorry, Claire, but this ends now.

Should I go? I can go.

What's wrong with you? Why are you so afraid of us hanging out? I'm not. It's

just... It's not fair that she breezes into school and steals my best friend.

And you should do it the minute I saw her.

So I guess what I want doesn't matter.

Thanks, Allie. Real nice.

Actually, guys, I...

Love to be friends with both of you.

It wasn't that bad.

Whatever, it sucked.

This whole party sucked. Let's just go.

Nobody cares about your little performance, Peter.

It's a lie.

Those rich snobs were trying not to laugh at me.

Just try and be yourself.

The charming and confident guy I know.

I don't feel like that guy.

You must be Mia.

Please, come meet some people.

Nothing you're here to do.

You're all business, aren't you?

Peter.

Welcome company.

Don't bother.

We'll just end up moving to another galaxy like all my girlfriends.

Lucky for both of us, dating you isn't in my plan.

Right. It's the boyfriend.

I think he knew I was going to make an ass of myself.

Uh, that would be my brother.

Common mistake.

Fiona and Declan are very close. Shut up, Vicki.

So he was hitting on Mia.

What stupid coke taking?

You guys are leaving?

I am. This isn't fun.

Hey, I can't win parties either, but, uh, now it's all good.

Really, Victoria?

You're still doing that?

What is it?

I want to escape without leaving.

Don't think, sweetie. Just do.

How do you... You'll figure it out.

Maybe in the bathroom.

There. To welcome you to Degrassi and commemorate a new friendship.

Thanks so much, guys.

It's so hard coming to a new school in a new city where you don't know anybody.

We Niners have to stick together.

Okay. So tell me, who's off limits?

Off limits?

In my old school, I was such a boyfriend stealer, especially with bad boy types.

They're totally my weakness.

I'm with Johnny. He's a senior.

Eh, too old for me.

I'm with Casey.

Aw, he is so cute.

Don't worry, Claire Bear. I won't even look at him.

You're right.

Jen is so nice.

It's okay.

She's not his type.

I got my groove back.

Yeah, all of a sudden.

Yeah, I had some help.

You're looking smoking, by the way. Want to go fool around?

Peter, what help?

Jeremy Noister?

Are there drugs going around?

Yeah, I could probably find you some. No, not for me.

Peter.

Mia!

I did it!

He does seem enthused.

Mm -hmm.

Troy is giving out party favors.

He's on crank.

What?

Peter.

Did you take something from Victoria?

Coke, I think, just a little.

Peter, Coke wasn't bad enough, but that was crystal meth.

Meth?

Crazy.

How much are you giving me if I eat these fish eggs?

We're leaving.

Come on, Mia.

Peter, no.

World domination!

Morning, gorgeous.

Jungle breath. Did you sleep at all last night?

No, but I'm the master of toxic conflict.

Performance enhancers. Awesome.

I told you, it was like an accident.

Right, you thought the meth would just coke so much better.

You know, you're lucky that my mom bought the Peter ate bad oysters, so I

stay over storing.

Yeah, well, we made Declan's snobby party more fun.

And he did something.

So anytime you feel insecure in Paris, you're just going to snort stuff.

Nice escape hatch, Houdini.

One -time thing.

Newsflash.

Peter, lots of meth addicts got their start as one -time thing.

Hey, whoa.

I'm not a meth addict, okay?

Don't freak out.

I'll be fine.

Moving to Paris does freak me out.

And if you're going to come with me, I need you to be good, please.

Mia. I promise.

Let's just go to school.

Landing on a quick getaway?

Yeah, I gotta stop French guys from macking on my girl, so I'm going with

Yeah, right. What are you gonna do in Paris?

Play my axe, eat crescent rolls, and I'll go to French school.

Don't learn the French word for crescent rolls?

Ugh, Wi -Fi here blows.

Peter!

This guy sure made his Marquette a little do yesterday.

Haven't seen anybody slip that many wishes since Mardi Gras.

Yeah, last night was fun, but right now, not so much.

Yeah, the crash.

Meth will do that.

Meth?

Everything's fake.

Not a big deal.

Declan, do you ever... Oh, no, sir.

I come by confidence naturally.

Victoria's the one with the pharmacy in her purse.

You two didn't?

No.

No, no, no.

I'm with Mia.

Oh, well, you dodged an STI bullet there, sir.

My cousin Vicky was a ballerina, and now she just tweaks out and hooks up with

random guys.

It's a shame, really.

This could be you in six months.

Bam.

Don't lose that pretty smile.

Uh, are you okay?

Dude, you know how I felt right now.

I'm never gonna do it again.

Henry Higgins molds Eliza Doolittle into a sophisticated upper -class woman,

using dialogue and etiquette. George Bernard Shaw took the title from the

Pygmalion and Galatea, a popular subject of satire at the time.

Pygmalion speaks to the notions of class, poverty, and education.

Thank you for Holly.

Where's the day?

Blair just calls me Holly.

Not Jane.

Now, in the case of Eliza Doodiddle, Eliza still herself under it all, and

she's not really interested in that. So, Mrs. Jones, we'll be seeing your

daughter on Billboard, huh?

I am very proud of her.

But school comes first, right?

Yeah, Mom, that's why they have a tutor.

Hi, Mrs. Jones.

Hey, cutie.

Peter, you look sick.

Yeah, I gotta lay off the seafood.

Uh, we'll pack tonight after you shoot.

For sure.

Bye, Mom. Okay.

Bye, Bells.

Congrats.

Thank you.

What's that?

Transcript request.

Wow, how very special of you.

I also got this Rush passport thingy online, so I'll probably be able to be

there by, like, Tuesday.

You'll help me move in?

Sure. Make sure the Eurofresh people put us in the hippest hood in Paris. The,

uh, 20th Arid...

A room this small.

Think about it. We're going to have like five months of us time for your mom and

Izzy come.

You know, if you keep this up, I might even let you mooch by Tudor.

Ooh la la.

Bye.

Where am I supposed to find 50 bags of sand, palm trees, and a straw hut?

Hey, are we getting a hot tub?

That'd be killer.

Impossible. Bummer.

We still getting tacos?

Impossible.

Okay, maybe not impossible, but I have a shift at the dot, which leaves, like,

two hours to turn to Graffy Gym and to Santa Monica Pier.

Watch this.

Who wants to tell Polly, set up the beach bash?

There'll be hot tubs.

See? You're a fan.

And people know you're a changed woman.

So being taken hostage was a good thing?

Sometimes bad situations allow a person's inner light to shine.

Come on.

You can do this.

Well, I guess now I'm going to have to.

Hey, we gonna practice at your place?

I can't. I have plans tonight.

Come on, dude.

This could be the last time we play Degrassi before Stutes takes off. I want

to be tight.

It could be the last time we play anywhere.

I'm moving to Paris with Mia.

You're gonna ditch the band.

I'm not gonna let another one slip away.

Imagine if Bonnie was leaving.

Wow. So you're moving to France.

I'd be so freaked out. How do you even, like, ask for directions?

I don't know. Hand signals? It'll be fine.

Are you sure? I mean, Mia's gonna be busy.

Man, I could never date a model. If Anya was half -naked in all those magazines,

I'd be jealous. Jeff, shut up, man. You have no idea.

I guess not.

So, I guess we're gonna have to find a new singer, huh? Dude, there's no

students without me. Those songs are mine.

I'll teach you about that in copyright class.

Whatever. If tomorrow's our last show, we better rock it. Yeah, rock it we

shall.

Dehydration of alkene.

Grab your apparatus.

Come see me for chemicals.

Oh my God, look at all these people. Told you, you've got fam.

Holly to the J.

What up, Prez?

I'm sorry, you are?

Dave, future grade nine class rep.

Future rep?

What can I do for you?

Okay, I was thinking we need a toga day next week for fun.

I'll look into it.

Don't worry.

She'll make it happen.

Toga! Toga!

Toga Day?

Seriously?

I've heard worse ideas.

All right.

Toga Day.

Happy?

Hey, Mia.

Where's the Sparkle?

We're not going to the insurance company. We're going to the mall.

Beer. Break time.

I'm sorry. One moment, please.

I'm sorry.

We're running late. I don't know if I'll have a break.

Hey,

customer respect or whatever, dude.

Recept.

Get this kid away.

I'm sorry.

It was just an accident.

This is your boyfriend?

Seriously?

Yeah, and she's on break, right? Careful, my hair.

Look, maybe you should just go. Listen to your girlfriend, Garçon. We both know

that she can do a lot better.

Not going anywhere, guy.

That's a different guy.

Security!

Okay, big guy.

Don't make this harder. No, let go of me, man.

Mia!

Hey, sorry about Jean -Luc.

Photoshoots can get really tense sometimes.

Oh, well, then let's just stay here.

We can still go to school, we can hang out with our friends, we can still play

in my band. It'll be a good time.

Look, don't worry, okay?

Wait, you haven't even started packing yet?

You're serious?

Oh, come on, Mia. This whole modeling thing makes you crazy.

I'm crazy?

Look, it's not up for debate.

How come you get to decide what happens, huh?

What about me?

Peter, calm down.

You're so selfish, Mia. Although you, you, you... Oh, my God.

Is this it?

that you would never do this again this morning.

My own girlfriend watches me drag off her stupid photo shoot. What am I

to do, huh?

Your dry shoes is not my fault.

Yeah? What about being supportive?

What, of a meth head?

You are not going anywhere with me.

Okay? Get some help here.

Hey.

Oh, Sam, check it out.

Sidewalk makes a different sound than the street.

That's great, Pete.

Oh, come to my house. We've got a jam.

Now? Yeah, I wrote a sweet new song. We've got to jam it out. Why? I thought

were going away.

Well, Mia broke up with me, but it's all right, because they always do, right?

But, come on, do it with Liz, man.

Are you okay, man?

No.

Crap. I forgot my guitar.

See you there. Don't forget to wear your beach clothes.

We heard you're taking requests.

Okay, because we have a request.

We were wondering if athletes could cut the cast line so we can make it to

practice at lunchtime.

We're on the junior basketball team. We're athletes.

I'll add it to the list.

I'm a walking suggestion box, and the idea that any random niner can come

me? So not my style.

You're never going to be happy.

What's that supposed to mean?

Everyone used to hate you.

Now you got blue, you're super popular.

Where's the problem?

He's like, she's gone, they all leave me.

And then he took off.

Seriously, I'm here dumped and super harsh.

I don't mess a guy up.

Don't tell me Mr. and Mrs. High School are on the rocks.

Mia smashed his heart into a million pieces. He was freaking out, like he

himself or something.

Uh, you sure it wasn't the crank?

What? Guys, your lead singer's taking a fancy to crystal meth.

He made a pretty big ass of himself at her party.

Wasn't pretty.

You better call him. Yeah.

Everybody knows the words. Clapping, hands swinging, hips shaking, head of

own beat. Listen to the music. Hear the melody, follow the beat.

Da -da -da -da.

That's how it goes now.

It's confusing and amusing, but it's moving.

The rhythm is all around.

On and on.

Jumping up and down.

People love the hot tub.

I knew you could do it.

Hey, me.

So ready for a nap.

Here, I brought you some snacks.

Thank you. I haven't eaten all day.

That avocado?

I like to, uh, complain.

You already have your front -of -the -line privileges. Now what?

Bruce cut the lunch line and the football season's over.

So, what am I, the Catholic?

Hey, uh, so when exactly is Togi Day? Monday, Wednesday? Not now, Daryl, okay?

It's, it's day.

Hey, Holly J.

Um, there's this really weird smell coming from the girl's bathroom.

Maybe because it's a bathroom?

What's next?

Is the sun too bright? Your allowance too small? Hey, why don't I just do

something about global warming while I'm at it? Sorry, she'll get on that.

You're really having trouble prioritizing, huh?

Actually, Blue, I know exactly what my priority is right now.

This taco.

Got it?

Yeah, we're on in like 10 seconds, too.

And now, fresh from their Hollywood movie shoot, the one and only

The Amazing Dude.

Guys, who's going to sing?

I don't know the words.

I'm a one -armed drummer.

I'm like, whoa, the California sun.

I'm like, whoa, this fight has just begun. I'm like, whoa, just like a sub

-machine gun with all guitars.

I'm like, whoa, the California sun.

I'm like, whoa, the spiders just begun. I'm like, whoa, just like a sub machine

gun. My song guitars.

And I'm like, whoa.

What are you doing? What are you doing? No dudes without me. You guys, stop.

No. Stop now.

Stop now.

OK. OK.

Shared custody. One, two, three, four.

Shared custody. Shared custody.

Nick, no. Are you tweeting?

What? No. We know about the man.

Peter, what happened?

Tell the fans on the video blog. You're on my bank.

Holly, it's Defcon 4 in there.

Boy band breakup?

Boo -hoo.

Aren't you going to do something?

Luke, I'm not asking you to do something. I'm actually a superhero.

I deal in raffle tickets, not drama.

What about all your friends in there?

They're not my friends. I don't even know half their names.

You know, you should really put all the heads on the money to one side.

That's it.

First of all, you are not student council president. And I didn't become

president so that I could make friends and have people love me. I did it so

I could do things my way.

You just leave me alone.

I want a little picture.

We're still on entrance.

Peter?

What? Slow down.

Guys, it's Peter. Where'd he go?

I think I like OD'd or something.

Where are you?

I don't know.

I live between two roads.

Please, just tell me how we come find me.

Guys, look. Okay, we're coming. Where are you? What do you see?

You're going to be all right.

We

should go.

Take it easy, buddy.

Call if you need anything.

We'll make sure you're okay.

Thank you.

I hate this stupid loft. I'm alone all the time. And not tonight, too.

Chug this. You'll probably be hydrated.

I'm like messed up, guys.

Can you get rid of this?

Are you sure that's all of it?

Did you get a call, dude?

Long distance.

No, it's like 4 a .m. in Paris, right?

I'm not calling Mia.

Hey, Mom, it's me.

Yeah, I'm fine. Well, not really, but can you come home, please?

Guess who?

You had a hard night, but I still believe you can change.

So if you're ready to apologize, I'm ready to listen.

Apologize?

For what?

Look, Blue, I have lots of sides. You can't just pick the ones you like.

But I want to let the Holly I know shine through.

No, you don't.

You want to turn me into someone that I'm not.

And that's never gonna happen.

No.

Sorry, Blue.

Me too.

Bye, Holly.

It's Holly freaking Jay.

And then they give you these hot towels in first class, and a limo picked me up,

and Marie from the agency has been so helpful.

Awesome, Mia.

How are you?

You mean, how's my drug problem?

I'm worried about you, Peter.

Don't be. I begged my mom to come back from Regina.

Bonjour, Mia.

Hi, Miss H.

Peter, even though we broke up, I'm really happy that you're not alone.

I gotta go, but keep in touch, okay?

Bye, Mia.

I never should have left you.

It's not your fault, Mom.

I know I can't make your choices for you, but just promise me. It's over, I

promise. Because, Peter, you can't control this drug.

One relapse, just one, and it's straight to rehab.

Thanks for coming home, Mom.
