( over p.A. System ): Sports are a big part of life here at degrassi junior high

And the school has built a distinguished record...

Melanie, what are you doing?

Checking.

Checking?

My mom

Won't let me get a bra

Which is really unfair

Don't you think?

Well...

L.D.!

Look!

Well, I guess.

It's obvious!

I don't know what's wrong with my mom.

Maybe she needs glasses.

Okay, everybody, let's go!

Come on, let's win!

Melanie, will you stop

Staring at yourself?

? wake up in the morning, feeling shy and lonely ?

? gee, I got to go to school ?

? I don't think I can make it, don't think I can take it ?

? I'm wondering what I'm going to do ?

? but when I look around, I see ?

? that someone is smiling right at me ?

? wait! ?

? that someone's talking to me ?

? hey! I've got a new friend. ?

? everybody can succeed ?

? all you need is to believe ?

? be honest with yourself ?

? forget your fears and doubts ?

? come on, give us a try ?

? at degrassi junior high. ?

Raditch: Class dismissed.

Hey, stephanie--

Did you know I got an a+

In sex education last year?

So if there's anything you want to know...

Joey p. Jeremiah--

"p" for playboy--

At your service.

Hey, steph, the swim team is going to the city finals.

Great.

Will you make an announcement?

School presidents don't announce sports.

That's jason cox.

Oh, okay.

Principal: Chess devotees are asked

To "check" it out with mr. Raditch.

Come on, no tiptoes.

Same as before.

No way!

Yes, now it's my turn.

I feel taller today.

You're not.

I'm in peak growing years

And I haven't had a decent growth spurt in months.

Me neither.

It's like we're stuck or something.

The degrassi music club is looking for new members.

If you can play any instrument, or if you want to learn

Contact ms. Bell in the resource center today.

New flute players will be especially appreciated.

You like snake, eh?

Snake?

Not especially.

Congratulations on that win.

It was great.

Thanks. Thanks.

Sorry I'm late.

I've got an announcement, okay?

Fine, but keep it brief.

I've got a date.

Hi, guys.

Jason: Jason cox, sports rep., here.

The boys' soccer team plays simcoe today at 4:30.

It's a really big game and we need your support.

That's all for today.

Bye, doris.

That's it?

What about us?

Come on!

How come he's so tall?

I'm not sure

But I read somewhere:

"you are what you eat."

We can find out what he eats.

D-e-g-r-a-s-s-I.

Degrassi, degrassi...

Jason cox, we want to talk to you.

What's the problem?

You're everybody's sports rep.

Why didn't you announce we won our swim meet?

We've got a game.

There wasn't time.

It wouldn't have taken

Ten seconds.

We're in the city finals.

Ladies, ladies.

It's great you won, but people

Aren't interested.

What are you talking about?

Look at tv.

There's professional wrestling

Pro football, hockey, baseball...

Yeah, so?

It's always men.

Girls aren't good athletes.

What! Wait a minute!

Don't get mad at me.

It's human nature, right?

Team: Yeah, right on.

At least we win.

You guys lose every game.

We're unlucky.

Anyway, soccer's tough.

If you win--

Big deal.

If we swam against girls

We'd win, too.

Oh, really?

Yeah, really.

Want to prove it?

Any time.

Okay, Friday after school.

Boys' soccer team against girls' swim team.

In the pool.

Okay, we'll be there.

What a sexist!

Like my brothers--

They think just because I'm a girl

I'm a second-class person.

We'll show jason, right?

He thinks I'm just a little kid.

Why would jason think that?

Not jason, snake.

Of course, who could blame him?

It's my mom's fault.

She thinks I'm a kid.

I'm nearly a teenager.

A passionate teenager

Whose mother won't let her buy a bra.

Okay, since you think

It will make such a difference

We're going to buy you a bra.

L.D., what do you think you're doing?

Come on.

We can't do this.

Don't be so chicken.

I am not chicken!

Well, maybe a little bit.

Like a chicken wing

Without the legs or breasts.

Breasts!

What will I tell my mom?

Nothing--

Change at school, like stephanie.

Oh, like stephanie.

It's humongous!

How about this one?

Looks like swim goggles.

Can I help you?

She wants to buy a bra.

Hmm...

Well, hold up your arms.

I think I know what you'd like.

Here we are.

Isn't it lovely?

Would you like to try it on?

What, here?

In the change rooms, dummy.

Do try it on.

You can't bring it back.

You're president.

You have to start the race.

It makes it official.

Can I make a speech?

"swimmers, on your mark, get set, go."

I'm getting good at speeches.

Can I wear my new wet-look bikini?

It's hot pink.

Sure, wear whatever you like.

What do you think?

About what?

Real nice bra, melanie.

Oh yeah, real nice!

I know!

Isn't it great?

I feel grown up at last.

Attention, students--

I shall address the school at 2 p.M.

In the auditorium.

Attendance is compulsory.

Hi.

Hi, melanie.

Your mom changed her mind.

Not exactly, but I got one anyway.

It looks great.

Nice bra, melanie.

Got any more kleenex?

It's not kleenex.

Give us a break, joey.

Are cantaloupes in season?

No-- blueberries!

We can't back down now.

We'll look dumb if we lose.

They're the swim team.

They're good.

They practice.

And they're going to the city finals.

We won't lose.

What's the matter with you guys?

I thought you were men!

Suppose I guarantee we win.

How will you do that?

Supposing snake swims.

Snake's not on the soccer team.

He was terrible.

But he was district swimming champion, remember?

And he was real upset

When he got cut from the soccer team.

If I get snake, will you swim?

Yeah, maybe.

If you can get snake.

Okay, I'll get him.

We'll never see his lunch from here.

We have to get closer.

Follow me, and act casual.

Excuse me.

Snake, buddy, how you doing?

Okay if I sit here?

Yeah, sure.

I hear you're a good swimmer.

Yeah.

We need you to swim with us.

I'm not on the soccer team.

So? You were almost on the team.

I was pretty terrible.

No, I remember the tryouts.

You were... Not bad, actually.

They have good swimmers, like l.D. And melanie.

We need you, man.

The girls might beat us.

It doesn't seem right.

Don't you want to play soccer?

I do!

I love soccer.

Listen, if you agree to swim, I'll talk to the coach--

Get you another tryout.

Okay?

It's up to you, buddy.

Excuse me.

Is that yogurt?

Yeah.

Thanks.

But I eat yogurt all the time.

Maybe it's what he eats after school.

"o, confound the rest!

"such love must needs be treason in my breast.

"in second husband let me be accurst!

"none wed the second

But who killed the first."

"faith, I must leave thee, love

"and shortly, too;

My operant powers..."

Ow!

Melanie, is there something you'd like to share

With the class?

Don't worry about it.

Hey, melanie--

Can't wait to see you in that bathing suit.

Melanie!

Half the team won't swim.

"I've got my period."

"I don't want the boys to see me

In my bathing suit."

But at least there's susie, caitlin, me and you.

Not me.

I'm not swimming.

Why not?

Because I'm not.

But you've got to!

Melanie!

You don't need me, anyway.

But you're one of our best swimmers.

And when people hear you're not swimming...

Forget it, l.D., I'm not swimming.

Melanie, please.

All these years

I've had to listen to my brothers.

"l.D. Can't do it, she's a girl."

This is my big chance!

Didn't you see what happened today?

Everyone laughed at me.

Everyone.

It will be even worse

When they see me in a bathing suit.

What are you talking about?

My bra is not stuffed.

But I can't wear it underneath my speedo

And without it, I'm flat.

They'll say--

"what happened, melanie-- you run out of kleenex?"

Don't you want us to win?

Of course I want us to win.

I just don't want to be laughed at.

Hey, guys.

I spoke to the coach.

Snake's on the team.

All: All right, snake!

Maybe we should do some warm-ups.

All: Yeah.

Everybody line up, let's go.

Hey, snake, pass it back.

Watch it.

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

No problem, no problem.

Oh, boy.

Maybe this isn't such a good idea after all.

Of course it is.

You just need a little practice.

You'll see.

Here he is.

What did he buy?

What did he get?

One moment...

It's a "super crunch delight."

Okay, let's go.

Okay.

20 super crunch delights, please.

Hey, l.D.--

Today's the big day.

Worried?

You wish.

Hope you're ready.

We've got a pretty good team.

Right, snake?

He's not on the soccer team.

Sure he is.

He joined yesterday.

That's not fair!

You're stacking the team.

Says who?

I still don't think this is right.

Three to two--

Place your bets!

Place your bets!

Place your bets.

You don't play, we don't pay!

Snake's swimming, so it's boys at three to two!

Make some money!

Place your bets!

Place your bets!

Joey: Place your bets.

You don't play, we don't pay!

Cheerleaders: D-e-g-r-a-s-s-I.

Degrassi! Degrassi!

Degrassi junior high!

Boys versus girls!

Hey, who's going to win?

Where's snake?

He's not here?

He's so thin, you missed him.

But he's supposed to be here.

Yeah, he's supposed to be here.

Okay, no sweat, stay cool.

I'll get him.

Snake?

I wish melanie would change her mind.

We don't even have enough people.

We'll do okay.

One of us will swim twice, right?

"it's a big day for the girls' swim team..."

Blah, blah, blah.

Where's your hot pink bikini?

Are you kidding?

Have you seen how many people are out there?

Snake!

I'll never eat another super crunch delight again.

I was sick all night.

Me, too.

My arms hurt.

So do mine

But it's the price of getting tall.

No gain without pain.

See, I've been thinking.

There's a lot more to getting tall

Than just a diet.

Stretching, for instance, is very important.

Seen snake?

No.

Why aren't you getting ready to swim?

You're not swimming.

Hey!

All right!

If you see snake

Tell him I'm looking for him.

We don't need snake anyway.

What?

Melanie's not swimming.

What? How come?

She knows we're going to win.

She's chicken.

All right.

Jason's looking for you.

Yeah, well...

I thought you were swimming.

I thought you were swimming.

I decided not to.

It wasn't right.

What do you mean?

I'm not really on the soccer team.

They only wanted me because I can swim.

I can't play soccer.

I used to be pretty good

But since I got tall

My feet don't do what I tell them.

Why aren't you swimming?

Well...

See, I bought this b...

You saw the way

Joey and them laughed at me.

So?

I hate being laughed at.

Everyone does.

You can't let that stop you

From doing stuff.

Joey gives me a rough time, too.

Should I hide?

The boys are number one!

The boys are number one!

? purple and blue, you know we'll be true ?

? bringing victory and honor to your name... ?

Melanie!

Hey, melanie!

You're so flat, the walls are jealous!

Come on, l.D., what's going on?

I would like to formally declare this competition open.

Swimmers...

On your mark...

Get set...

I'm so glad you decided to come.

We can beat those boys.

We're counting on you.

Come on, you can do it.

Go!!
