Voula, you wrote all this?

Some of it, yes.

I organized it all.

I'm the editor.

This is good!

Very good, voula!

What's this, a dance?

Papa, can I go?

You're too young for dances.

Everyone else is going.

I don't want my little girl

Dancing with boys.

Papa, please.

Voula, it's for your own good.

Life is like a flower.

Let it unfold.

When you're older

You'll thank me.

It will be too late.

The dance will be over.

Lucy: You guys want to come over?

Heather: Will your parents mind?

No, they're loose.

I'll see you on Saturday.

Bye.

Hi, voula.

Hi, voula.

Are you going to the dance?

Heather: It'll be fun.

Everybody's going.

Hi, voula.

Oh, she's talking to me!

The school president is talking to me!

Look, I'm sorry

For what happened during the election.

I meant to thank you.

Can't we be friends?

Not in 100 million years.

Really mature, voula.

Hi, lucy.

Hi, steph.

How come you don't change at home?

Are you kidding?

My mom would ground me for life

Or longer.

What a hick town.

All the parents are like fascists.

Your parents let you dress like that?

I can do whatever I like.

I can go where I want

Dress how I want.

Lucy?

Yeah?

Have you ever asked a boy out?

Sure, lots of times.

They don't laugh or anything?

Of course not.

Please, stephanie, this is the eighties.

Man on loudspeaker: It's time for the annual degrassi fall dance.

I'm hoping to see all of you

In the school gym this Saturday...

Wheels, my man!

Are you going to the dance?

I don't know.

I've got a date!

Really? Who?

Stephanie!

She lusts for my body.

Who can blame her?

She's nice.

"nice"?

She's fabulous!

He's so sexy.

What, wheels?

Are you kidding?

He is better than some.

That's not saying much.

I haven't asked her yet, but I will.

Today or tomorrow.

By the weekend.

Hey, stephanie.

Joey f. Jeremiah.

That's f. For "footwork."

At your service.

Big dance coming up, eh?

You going?

Of course I'm going.

Did I ever tell you I was a great dancer?

When jeremiah hits the floor

They always ask for more.

Good morning, class.

Class: Morning, ms. Avery.

Okay, before we get started today

Voula has asked to say a few words.

Voula?

As you know, degrassi junior high

Is sponsoring a foster child.

The only problem is

We need some money to do it.

So if anybody has any ideas...

What if we do the dance as a benefit?

We're having a dance anyway, right?

So what if everybody pays a dollar

And the money goes

To the foster child?

What do you think?

Oh, yeah, sure.

You can present the check at the dance.

No, I can't.

But it was your idea.

Stephanie's the president.

She should do it.

Okay, sure.

Well, good.

That's all decided, then.

Sponsoring a foster child is an excellent project.

Helping less fortunate people is a wonderful thing...

Voula, sponsoring a foster child

Was your idea.

You should make the presentation

Not stephanie.

I'm probably not going.

I've got too much homework.

Voula, you've got your whole life

To do homework.

I'm not allowed to go.

I already asked my dad.

What century is he living in?

My parents are really strict.

It's all how you bring up your parents.

You have to educate them.

My parents are loose.

My parents are nice.

They just come from a really little village.

You want to go?

I'd love to.

Even parents can be reasonable.

Ask again.

It's not just any dance.

It's for a good cause.

Can I try some?

Yeah, sure.

Here.

It's a good color for you.

Papa...

What is it, voula?

Nothing.

Must be a big nothing.

You wearing lipstick?

Just a little.

Off!

But, papa!

Voula, off!

You're just a little girl.

It takes a long time

To grow up.

What was it

You were going to ask?

I was going to ask...

There's this thing at school...

To do with the foster child, on Saturday...

Saturday?

It was the only time everyone could get together.

It's in the evening.

Saturday evening?

So we could be with our family

During the day.

It's a meeting.

I'd kind of like to go.

Okay, sure.

Sure?

Just be home by 9:30, okay?

Hi, wheels.

So, you going to the dance?

No...

Say, wheels, those look like dancing shoes.

No way...

Um...

Are you going to the dance?

Today is the day

I ask stephanie to the dance.

She will remember this day

For the rest of her life.

Stephanie: Hi, guys.

Joey: Oh, hi, steph.

Um... I think I should go.

No, wait.

Joey, could I talk to wheels?

Alone, for a sec?

Yeah, sure.

I'll go polish my nails or something.

Um, wheels...

So...

I was thinking...

If you're going to the dance

Maybe we could sort of...

Go together?

Me?

To the, uh...

Sure, great!

Stephanie: So, I'll...

I'll see you there?

Yeah, sure.

Okay.

See you in class.

See you.

I can't believe it!

Stephanie: On behalf of the students of degrassi junior high

I...

Would like to present to you...

Mother: Enjoy yourself at the dance.

Thank you.

I'm going to the meeting.

What's in the bag?

Stuff I borrowed from lucy.

I'm returning it.

Remember, home by 9:30 sharp.

If you're not back, I'm coming.

I'm not a little girl anymore.

Hey, dad, can I use your aftershave?

Okay, sure.

Hi, voula.

Hi.

You look nice.

I'm not going like this.

Can I change here?

You can change upstairs.

Thanks.

I'm so excited.

My first dance!

Hi, lucy.

Hi.

Is it okay if steph comes?

She had to change somewhere.

Sure, come on in.

Wow, your parents must be loaded.

This dump?

You should have seen our loft in manhattan.

Where can I change?

You can go upstairs.

Lucy: Wow, voula, you look great.

I'm going to the dance.

Lucy: Don't get there early.

Come with us.

I've got a curfew.

I want to get there soon.

Oh, okay.

See you later.

Save some boys for me.

Erica: And me.

Girl: Voula!

Hi.

You look really good.

So do you guys.

Ready for the dance?

I guess.

Hey, y'all look great.

Wow!

Hi, andrea.

It's fantastic!

There's voula.

Voula!

You were allowed to come?

Yeah.

Welcome to the degrassi junior high benefit dance

To raise funds for a foster child.

I'm rompin' rockin' raditch

And I'll be playing

The kind of music

You want to hear.

They treat me like I was eight.

When you're ten

They treat you like you're six.

When you're 13, they treat you like you're ten.

You can't win.

Wow!

Look at all these bottles.

Too bad we can't get splashed.

Go ahead.

What about your parents?

They're loose.

Party! Party!

This looks good.

You look great, steph!

Have a drink.

What about the dance?

There's loads of time for that.

Come on, what do you want?

We got drunk at a party.

You got drunk?

Yeah!

Haven't you ever been drunk before?

Yeah, of course.

Lots of times.

Erica: What's port?

Maybe you drink it on a boat.

Let me try it.

What was that?

Whisky.

Whew!

Ready?

Go, go, go.

Please, no autographs.

Wheels, my man.

Hi, joey.

Ugh!

What's that?!

Smells like oven cleaner.

Have you seen stephanie?

What?

She didn't show up?

She stood you up, man.

The expression on your face...

Vodka!

"vod kan" I do?

You guys!

Shh!

Hello?

Shh!

It's my mom!

Hi, alice.

Shh!

What is this?

Lucy: Everything's fine.

Oh, is this good?

Lucy: I love you, too.

Bye-bye.

My mom says hi.

Hi, mom. Hi, mom.

Stephanie, that's kind of a lot.

It's just like a milkshake.

A milkshake, huh?

Chugalug, come on.

She won't do it.

All the way with stephanie kaye!

Whew!

Whoa!

Want to dance?

Sure.

Girls ( singing drunkenly ): ? purple and blue ?

? you know we'll be true ?

? bringing victory and honor to your name ?

? in the work that we do... ?

? and the games that we play... ?

Where's wheels?

Oh, wheels!

You're so sexy!

Are you wearing mosquito repellent?

What happened to her?

She's been drinking.

Okay, guys and gals!

Here it is--

The annual degrassi junior high crazy dance.

Just get on the dance floor

And go as crazy as you can.

Ms. Avery and I will be judging

Who is the most demented degrassi dancer.

Are you okay?

Erica: What's wrong, steph?

I'll never be able to face wheels again.

You better get better.

You've got to present the check

To the foster child association.

Oh, no...

I can't.

Oh, I can't!

Somebody else has to do it.

Somebody?

Please?

I know.

Oh, no.

I got to go.

Already?

I... I got to get home.

Thanks.

Bye.

Bye.

Voula, you've got to come.

I can't.

Come on, it's an emergency!

Voula: Besides, stephanie should do it.

But she's so sick.

It'll take five minutes.

You thought of this thing.

Voula...

Please?

Is everyone having fun?

Great.

Let's have a big round of applause

For our school president

Stephanie kaye.

Stephanie?

Make that voula

Editor of the degrassi digest

Who has a special presentation.

I'd like to thank everyone

For making this such a wonderful success.

We wanted to show the whole world

That kids aren't selfish

And that we know that the world is bigger than this school.

We've managed to raise enough... Money

To support a foster child

For a whole year.

I'd like to introduce mr. Green

Who will tell us how our money

Will help a kid somewhere else.

Mr. Green?

Thanks, voula.

First of all...

I'd like to say

What a pleasure it is to be here

And see that there are young people...

Everyone else goes to dances.

I have rights.

There are no rights

Without responsibilities.

You lied to me.

I had to!

I'm a big girl.

You won't let me act mature!

How are you feeling?

Listen, you want to come over to my place?

You can get changed there.

Your mama didn't go to dances

Till she was 16.

Papa, this is a different time.

This is where I belong.

The dance was for a good cause.

The foster child was my idea

And I couldn't go.

You lied, voula.

That cannot change.

I'm sorry, papa.

I know it was wrong.

Stephanie: I feel like such a broomhead.

I'm so embarrassed.

Tomorrow, I'm going to call voula

And thank her for making the speech.

I'll call wheels, too--

If he'll talk to me.

Oh, my head...

You'll feel better tomorrow.

Soon as I go home

I'm going straight to bed.

Maybe my mom will make me some cocoa.
