-Outside of the school-
*Rick is outside talking with his mom and Mr. Raditch*
Paige: Someone tell me I’m hallucinating.
Emma: Who is he?
Spinner: Remember our friend Terri McGregor? The girl who was in a coma last year.
Paige: He’s the psycho that put her there. His name’s Rick, her ex. He used to beat her.
Spinner: Yeah and he’s your new classmate Emma. He starts tenth grade tomorrow.
Emma: We have to do something!
Alex: I know! Let’s adopt a dolphin. Treat him to defend us from Rick!
Emma: Or we can talk to Mr. Raditch.
Alex: Sure, me and Marco can handle that without you!
-At Liberty’s outside by the hot tub, Manny’s in the hot tub-
JT: Take my hand! *Manny takes his hand* Now pull!!
*JT farts as Manny pulls his hand*
JT: Oh I could not resist! Oh god! Ohhh!
*Liberty brings out some fancy tropical drinks and hands one to Manny*
Manny: Thanks. So you’re sure your dad doesn’t mind us using his hot tub like this?
Liberty: Sometimes Manny you just have to say what the heck!
Manny: You know who loves hot tubs? Emma Nelson!
Liberty: No. Emma lives for stabbing me in the back, ripping out your heart and stomping it bloodless with her pointy ballerina feet.
Manny: To tenth grade! *They clink glasses*
*JT and Toby are play fighting in the background*
Manny: We’re gonna be 16 this year.
Liberty: To the future! To growing up and to leaving childish things behind.
Manny: To leaving childish things behind.
*Danny runs out with an ironing board*
Liberty: Danny Van Zandt! That’s mom’s ironing board!
Danny: It was. Now it’s a diving board! You gotta live outside the box!
JT: And now diving for Canada in the sexy red trunks! James Tiberius York!
*Danny pulls down his swim trunks and everyone starts laughing*
Toby: Look! It’s a stack of dimes!
-At school-
Marco: ‘I always knew you were a smart boy Marco’. Can you believe he said that?
Emma: Wow. You guys really handled Raditch.
Rick: Marco. Paige. Spinner. Jimmy. *walks away when they all glare at him*
*Emma walks up and stands in front of Rick and moves so he can’t get around her*
Rick: Excuse me. I’ve got to get by.
Mr. Raditch: Emma step aside.
Emma: We don’t want him here Mr. Raditch!
Mr. Raditch: This isn’t one of your little crusades Emma. This is serious. I’m warning you. Stay out of it.
-At Manny’s locker-
JT: So what are we doing Friday night? You, me, couch, a romantic DVD?
Manny: Um…you know what, I think I might be busy…
JT: Oh…Is something wrong? It’s just you’ve been kind of distant since the hot tub party. It’s not my…you know.
Manny: No, no. That was stupid and embarrassing. You must feel awful!
JT: Nothing a kiss can’t cure!
*They start to kiss and Manny pulls away when she sees Craig*
Manny: Craig! Hi.
Craig: Hi. Sorry to interrupt.
Manny: Oh that’s okay, you weren’t interrupting anything. So, how was your summer?
Craig: Nothing special. You?
Manny: Same.
Craig: Well I better get going. Bye.
JT: Bye Craig. Nice to see you too!
-In the locker room-
JT: Hey Manny, I’m stalker Craig! Can I lurk around while you kiss JT?
Danny: I’d lurk too! Manny’s smoking!
Toby: Maybe Manny’s still hot for him.
JT: Please!
Toby: Look JT, in four months you and Manny have barely even kissed. Don’t you think something’s wrong?
JT: Craig. Mono o mono. Manny is my girlfriend.
Craig: Ok.
Craig: And I need you to respect that.
Craig: I do. Whatever.
JT: It’s just that you know sometimes you hang *JT sees Craig’s penis when his towel is off* down and it…I mean around!! Sometimes you hang around!! And it’s just.
Craig: What are you looking at?!? *Quickly wraps the towel back around himself*
JT: What are you talking about?
Craig: What do you mean, what am I talking about?! You were! You were checking out my--
JT: No! No! I wasn’t! I just..
Spinner: What?!?!
JT: No, no Spinner! I wasn’t! That’s a lie!! That’s a horrible lie!!
-At Paige’s locker-
Rick: Paige, a moment? Um I was thinking maybe we could talk…maybe bury the hatchet.
Paige: You put my friend in a coma!!
Rick: One, I know I let my anger get the better of me last year. And two, I’m in counseling. I’m even seeing Ms. Sauve. How…how is Terri anyway?
*Paige walks away upset into the washroom where Emma follows her*
Emma: Paige? Paige…
Paige: If you tell anyone about this…
Emma: I won’t. Honest.
Paige: There is a psycho in our school Emma and no one is doing a damn thing about it.
Emma: We will! Together.
Paige: Okay, but I’m not so good at this whole protest thing.
Emma: That’s okay ‘cause I am. Just don’t call me ‘cause girl’ okay?
Paige: So uh Emma, what are you doing now?
Emma: I was gonna go home.
Paige: After you have a green tea frappe with me at the Dot!
Emma: Gotta go sip a frap with Paige. Have fun in your hot tub!
-At the Dot-
Paige: Mac lip glass! It smells like vanilla!
Emma: I can’t it’s expensive.
Paige: Go ahead. Hazel and I always share. We’re cosmetics communists.
*Rick walks in*
Spinner: Psycho at 6:00!
Paige: My god, I can’t believe this. Let’s go.
Emma: No.
*Emma stands up and walks over to him*
Emma: We don’t want you at Degrassi.
Rick: I have a right to an education. Look what I did to Terri last year was horrible but I’m getting therapy. I’ve changed.
Emma: I don’t care. Find another school Rick or you’ll be sorry.
Rick: Is that a threat? Because Mr. Raditch warned you. You can’t touch me.
Emma: Maybe not at Degrassi!
*Emma grabs his arm and pushes him outside and holds the door shut so he can’t get back in*
Paige: Okay, suddenly! Emma’s cooler than me!
-At school-
*Paige and Emma are handing around ribbons and collecting money*
Emma: Support students against violence! Show the school where you stand.
Paige: All proceeds go to the women’s shelter. Thanks guys.
Emma: Support students against violence! Thank you.
Sean: This is about Rick isn’t it?
Emma: It’s a silent protest. We want to pressure Rick. Make his life hell.
Paige: Without breaking any rules whatsoever. Emma’s a genius. There’s nothing Raditch can do.
Ellie: Wow. Such heroes.
Paige: Wanna buy a ribbon?
Emma: Support students against violence!
-In the boys bathroom-
Danny: Guys! Check it out! I have the solution to JT’s little problem!
JT: A penis pump?! How’d you buy this?
Danny: Well I didn’t. *Holds up his fake ID* Gunther Van Eisenstadt did. Take it out!
Toby: Not out here!
*They go into a stall*
Danny: The guy said it’ll turn your garden snake into an anaconda!
JT: I am not putting my thing in there!! It’s a snake! Snake’s bite!
Danny: Don’t be stupid! It’s decoration.
Toby: Let’s see how this thing works. Step one: insert member into tub.
JT: Tub? You’re not a tub...
Danny: They mean tube!
JT and Toby: Ooohh! *laughing*
Toby: Step two: Use hand pup to make fun suction. Who wrote this?!
Danny: Forget the instructions! You wangle it in the tube and you pump!
JT: Okay! Okay I got it! I got it!
*The boys leave the stall and see Craig in the bathroom*
JT: Uh…Craig.
Craig: You don’t have to explain…really!!
-In the hall-
*Rick is walking down the hall and people are bumping into him on purpose and blocking him from walking and one guy pushes him into a locker. He drops his books and people kick them. He goes into the cafeteria and nobody lets him sit with them*
Chris: Sit somewhere else punk!
*People start clapping when Rick leaves the caf*
-In Ms. Kwan’s classroom-
Spinner: So um Ms. Kwan asked us to read a verse that speaks to our hearts. And this verse like Kid Elrick speaks to mine:
I wants to find me a girl to love.
A girl with wealth and class.
But most of all I wants me a girl with a bootylicious-
Ms. Kwan: Enough Gavin!! *kids are laughing* Take your seat!! Okay who’s next?
Rick: May I? Um I’d like to read you some thoughts from Mahatma Gandhi:
The weak can never forgive.
Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.
It is the galley of the brave, not the coward.
*Spinner throws a ball of paper at Rick*
Ms. Kwan: Gavin!! Principal’s office now!! Now!
-In the hallway-
JT: Danny!! The cobra has landed! I just went for a walk with the king.
Danny: Did it work?!
JT: I think so!
Danny: Well, let her be the judge!!
Manny: JT’s gonna come over here. I know it! Why won’t he leave me alone?
Liberty: Because he’s your boyfriend. Look Manny, if that’s how you feel about him then you need to break up.
Manny: No…I can’t.
Liberty: But you can’t go on like this. Just sit him down tonight and do it!
JT: Hey!
Manny: Hi.
JT: I was wondering if maybe you wanted to come over to my place after school?
Manny: Umm…umm. Yeah okay.
-In another hallway-
Rick: One, it will only take a minute. Two, it’s to give you this. It’s a check.
Emma: I can’t take your money Rick. The whole ribbon campaign is about you.
*He holds out the check*
Emma: $500??
Rick: $554.16 to be exact. I’d donate more, but it’s all I have.
Emma: You can’t buy forgiveness Rick.
Rick: It’s an anonymous donation. No one needs to know but you.
Alex: Too late. Nobody wants your guilt money!
Rick: Alex, listen to me!
Alex: Or what, freak? You’re gonna put me in a coma? *Rick walks away*
Emma: Alex can I have the check please?
*Alex rips it up*
Emma: Nice. Real nice Alex…maybe if you cared about the cause!
Alex: What do you know about it? You ever ice your mom’s lip, bandage her up, lay awake at night listening to her cry? Didn’t think so!!
-In JT’s bedroom-
*Manny knocks on his bedroom door*
JT: Entrée!
Manny: What happened in here?
JT: Oh nothing, I just made it a little cozier. *pats the bed*
Manny: Are you nervous?
JT: No! Not at all! *They start kissing*
Manny: Um, your lips are kind of sweaty.
JT: Oh sorry! I guess I am kind of nervous!
Manny: I have to go to the bathroom.
JT: Alright! No rush. I guess I could use a minute to freshen up.
Manny: *outside leaning against the door* Suck it up. You can do this.
*Manny walks back in as JT’s using the penis pump*
JT: Um! I can explain!!!
*Manny rushes out*
-At the Dot-
Paige: Did you see Heather Sinclair’s eyebrows?? Tragically over plucked!
Emma: They should confiscate her tweezers or something!
*Rick walks in and goes up to the counter*
Paige: What is he doing here again??
Alex: He probably came to see his new crush, Emma!
Paige: What’s she talking about?
Emma: Nothing! Rick talked to me. It was no big deal.
Alex: Didn’t seem that way to me.
Paige: If you’re starting to wimp out and feel sorry for that psycho…
Emma: I’m not. Honest!
Rick: Afternoon Emma!
*Emma doesn’t say anything and then trips Rick and he falls on the floor spilling his drink*
Jay: That’s it. It’s on!!
*Jay takes Rick outside and everyone follows*
Emma: Let him go!!
Alex: You started this Cause Girl!
Rick: What are you gonna do, hurt me??
Jay: *Takes Rick’s glasses and puts them on* One, violence is never the answer! Two, we don’t care!!
*Jay punches Rick and drops his glasses, then steps on them*
Jay: Whoops!
Rick: Who wants the next shot? Spinner?
Alex: Me!!
*Emma steps in front of Alex and grabs her arm*
Alex: Ribbon campaign’s over Emma!
Emma: Yeah, so is this!!
*Everyone walks away except for Emma and Rick*
-Outside somewhere, JT is holding flowers-
JT: Manny!
Manny: Go away JT!
JT: Will you let me explain? I was just trying to live up to Craig.
Manny: What?!
JT: I saw him in the locker room…naked. And it became obvious to me that he has something that I don’t.
Manny: You know what JT! Craig does have something that you don’t. Maturity! And I don’t mean his size! I mean the way he acts. You’re always farting and joking around.
JT: I’m sorry! Just give me another chance okay? I can change!
Manny: No JT, I’m sorry. It’s over.
-Outside school-
*Paige and Hazel walk by and look at Emma but don’t say anything, then Rick walks up to Emma*
Emma: Nice glasses.
Rick: They’re from 6th grade. I um…I wanted to thank you.
Emma: Well don’t. Things got out of hand and I stopped it. It doesn’t mean I like you and it doesn’t mean we’re friends. But Rick, why did you come back here?
Rick: I like it at Degrassi. Well…I used to. I was horrible but I’ve changed. All those people who hate me I want to let them see who I really am. Show them how wrong they are.
Emma: Well they’re not interested Rick.
Rick: They will be. Someday.
KING OF PAIN
-At the store where Mrs. Del Rossi works-
*Marco is posing in a photo booth and for the last picture Dylan comes in and kisses him on the cheek*
Marco: You know my mother works here right?
Dylan: It’s not like she saw us.
Marco: Hey ma!
Mrs. Del Rossi: So you took the pictures?
Marco: Yeah and they all turned out horrible.
Mrs. Del Rossi: If papa gets to make your elections signs, I get to choose the shot.
*Marco hands her the pictures after he ripped the bottom one off*
Mrs. Del Rossi: Shouldn’t there be four?
Marco: No there’s just three.
Mrs. Del Rossi: What are you talking about, horrible? Every one of these says president to me.
Marco: Alright. I’ll see you at home ma. Bye.
*They walk away and Dylan speeds up ahead of Marco*
Marco: Dylan! Dylan! Wait up! Dylan! Where are you going?
Dylan: Back to my dorm.
Marco: Ok then. Take this with you. *hands him the bottom picture* Make your dorm mates jealous.
Dylan: They’re straight.
Marco: Make them uncomfortable.
Dylan: Actually they don’t have a problem with me being gay. I’m your boyfriend Marco!
Marco: I know.
Dylan: Yeah, well you’re the only one in your family that does. *hands him the picture back*
Marco: Babe-
Dylan: I’ll call you later.
-At Paige’s locker-
Marco: Paige. Hey I tried calling you last night.
Paige: So said the call display! Not as many times as my brother though. Do you think I’d make a good travel agent? I so need a job.
Marco: Wait you talked to Dylan?
Paige: In between repeated calls to Spinner.
Marco: Weird. He said he was gonna phone me last night.
Paige: He was probably busy studying or joining secret societies. Whatever they do at university.
Marco: Should I be worried? Paige!
Paige: Dylan’s hard to read ok? He has his little tantrum.
*Paige walks into Alex who’s sitting on the floor*
Paige: Ow.
Alex: Try looking where you’re walking.
Paige: Ice patches, bottomless pits, dog crap and Alex! Pedestrian hazards to avoid.
Alex: Nice shirt. Hate to bloody it.
Paige: Nice attitude. Hate to deflate it by reminding you that you’re a loser.
Alex: Really? Who decided that?
Paige: Everybody. Majority rules on these matters sweetie.
-In another area the school-
Chris: So. Why do girls always make your hair bigger?
Emma: Why are you guys always catching us doing embarrassing stuff?
Chris: How you been?
Liberty: Good morning. Who else is ready to say gouda or perhaps goutier?
Chris & Emma: Hey Liberty.
Emma: Um hey Chris I’m sorry with what happened in the summer.
Chris: Maybe we could go for a shake sometime.
Emma: Yeah, maybe.
-In another place of the school-
Alex: Gay kid! Hey!
*Marco keeps walking*
Alex: I said hey!!
Marco: You also said ‘gay kid’. Something I tend not to answer to thanks.
Alex: Okay school president, Mr. Prez, big guy! That more you?? This election thing. What are the issues?
Marco: Look I’m sorry Paige was rude to you okay?
Alex: Doesn’t matter. C’mon. Answer my questions like you care.
Marco: Save it for the assembly Alex.
Mr. Simpson: Hey Marco! Hope you’re ready for a horserace!
Marco: Alex is running??
Mr. Simpson: Tells me she’s hungry for blood. At any rate she’s got a lot of kids talking already and not about you.
-Outside the school-
Liberty: Is this seat taken?
Chris: I’m sorry, kiss me bacon?
Liberty: Is this seat taken?!
Chris: No, no, no. Go ahead, sit down! Uh Buck 65.
Liberty: For the headphones?
Chris: That’s who’s on the system. *Takes off his headphones and they both listen to it*
Liberty: I like this part.
Chris: Yeah.
Liberty: I’ve always wanted to broaden my knowledge of popular music.
Chris: Professor Chris at your service!
Liberty: Really?
Chris: Yeah.
Liberty: Maybe we could go to the record store sometime or CD shop…whatever. I’ll buy you a falafel
Chris: It’s a date.
-In the cafeteria-
Paige: Alex?!
Craig: As in most likely to succeed in killing someone? Alex? Hand me your nomination form. You need cash or whatever, I’m here.
Spinner: Hang posters.
Hazel: Hand out fliers.
Paige: Whatever it takes to help!
Marco: Alex’s campaign is an illiterate catchphrase. I’m not so worried.
*Marco turns on his phone*
Marco: I’ll see you guys later.
Craig and Spinner: Later.
Hazel: No, Marco’s not worried at all.
Paige: Not about Alex. Let’s just say Siegfried might be looking for a new Roy.
Marco: Dylan! Hey can we talk?
Dylan: Now’s not a good time Marco.
Marco: Ok I just had this really huge day. There’s someone running against me now.
Dylan: That’s what happens at elections right?
Marco: Right. Uh you forgot to call me last night.
Dylan: After the thing with the pictures I came back to my dorm and uh I did a lot of thinking.
Marco: Dylan c’mon! It was just a stupid picture!
Dylan: It’s not just a picture Marco and I can’t do this anymore. I’m sorry. Not like this. I got to go.
-In Mr. Armstrong’s class-
Mr. Armstrong: Liberty you wanna give it a try?
Emma: *whispers* Liberty!!
Liberty: Uh buck 65??
Mr. Armstrong: Nice try. JT? Okay let’s try this one more time.
Manny: Em! Liberty’s losing her math. It must be love.
Emma: You always think that and Liberty has dyscalculia remember?
*Manny grabs Liberty’s notebook and it falls on the floor*
Mr. Armstrong: Girls! The class is up here and Manny so are you. *hands her the chalk while she flips open Liberty’s book and puts it on Emma’s desk*
*Emma looks at the notebook and sees “Liberty + Chris” written on it and gives Liberty a look*
-At Marco’s house-
Mr. Del Rossi: Hey Marco! Where you go?! You don’t want to see your posters?!
Marco: Yeah sure…posters.
Mr. Del Rossi: Hey your mom and I are very proud of you. We are going to come to the assembly for your victory speech.
Marco: Um actually papa, there’s competition now.
Mr. Del Rossi: That’s okay. Then these should help you win. See your mama, she pick the perfect picture. President. That’s you!
Marco: Yeah, yeah it’s me.
*Marco gets up and goes to his room, then his Mrs. Del Rossi enters*
Marco: I have to write a speech.
Mrs. Del Rossi: Marco, what’s wrong?
Marco: The fact that I’m gonna actually have to eventually deliver a set speech.
Mrs. Del Rossi: Marco.
Marco: Relationship stuff ma. I met this person last year and…well we. Look people break up. I’ll be fine, it’s not a big deal.
Mrs. Del Rossi: I didn’t know you had a girlfriend.
Marco: I don’t.
Mrs. Del Rossi: So it was Dylan.
Marco: What? Dylan’s my friend ma. I’m not gay…*starts crying* I am. Ma I’m gay.
*Both of them are crying now, Marco on his bed and Mrs. Del Rossi in the doorway*
-Outside walking-
Manny: So. Liberty and Chris!
Emma: It’s a crush, big deal!
Manny: A date tomorrow after school. Liberty sees an opportunity, she goes for it. She’s like a rabid wolverine.
-Inside the school-
Paige: So I’ve got ear cancer. Thanks. Last night Dylan had me on the phone for three hours all worried and since sanity’s fled you I’m worried too.
Marco: I came out to my mom last night.
*Paige hugs Marco excitedly*
Paige: I love you! You know that right?
Marco: Yeah. I just hope she still does you know? I mean she seemed a little…alright she seemed a lot-
Paige: You’ve had a year of being gay Marco, she’s had a night, of you being gay! Ok! I am SO calling Dylan right now!
*Alex rips off a couple of Marco’s posters*
Marco: Hey! Hey!! What are you doing?!
Alex: Most you can spend on your campaign is $40.
Paige: Um they were for free. His dad is-
Alex: Doesn’t matter. Unfair advantage.
Marco: Why are you doing this?
Alex: Because you’re running and because I can.
Marco: Nobody’s gonna vote for you. Nobody!
Marco: Not yet.
Marco: Not ever!! Unless they open up votes to high school drop outs or your parole officer.
Alex: We’ll see. We’ll ask the crowd at the assembly tomorrow, see what they say. Would you rather vote for a freak or a queer. By the way I’m the freak.
-Inside the school during gym class-
Emma: Nice form.
Chris: Don’t tease me.
Emma: You know what you said yesterday about getting back together? I’d really, really like that.
Chris: I said don’t tease me.
Emma: I’m not. What about tomorrow after school?
Chris: Tomorrow? I got…
Emma: Ok. I just thought we could start this year off right.
Chris: I’ll see what I can do.
Emma: And I was teasing you about your form you know! It’s awful! *playfully pushes him as Liberty watches the two of them.
-Walking outside the school-
Manny: Okay tomorrow after school I’m gonna come over and I’m gonna loan you the coolest new skirt.
Emma: Okay and I need this why?!
Manny: For the whole get Chris back thing! I mean those legs of yours, they’re a killer asset!
Emma: I’m not trying to get him back.
Manny: But you love him. I can see it in your eyes.
Emma: I never said that.
Manny: Okay I’m totally confused,
Emma: I didn’t want him to go on a date.
Manny: Because you’re jealous?
Emma: Of Liberty Van Zandt?!? Yeah…
Manny: You’re embarrassed?!
Emma: You wouldn’t be? What are people gonna think of me if Chris goes out with Liberty next?
Manny: That’s the meanest thing I’ve ever you say and that’s really saying something.
-At Marco’s House-
Marco: Maybe we can tell papa that the assembly is student’s only. Parents are not allowed.
Mrs. Del Rossi: You would lie to him like that?
Marco: Well maybe…maybe we don’t have to. Maybe Alex is just bluffing, trying to freak me out before my speech.
Mrs. Del Rossi: And if she’s not?
Marco: Look I don’t know what to do ma!
Mrs. Del Rossi: It…it breaks my heart that because you are gay these people will hate you.
Marco: Ma nobody hates me!
Mrs. Del Rossi: This girl…
Marco: Yeah but that’s not because I’m-
Mr. Del Rossi: I’m home!! Hey! The posters! They work good Marco?
Marco: I’m dropping out of the election. Look I talked to the president from last year and he said it’s a lot of work.
Mr. Del Rossi: No, no Marco. You will do it!
Marco: But my studies will fall…
Mr. Del Rossi: For running I am proud of you! But not quitting. No, don’t make me less proud.
*Marco and Mrs. Del Rossi hug as his dad leaves the room*
-At school-
Emma: Hey Liberty! I think I’m actually voting for Alex today. You?
Liberty: You’re dead to me.
Emma: What?
Liberty: Manny told me. Jealousy’s really ugly Emma.
Emma: No, no, no Liberty. It’s just hard for me letting Chris go, that’s all.
Liberty: Well guess what? It’s easy for me letting you go - straight to hell!
-In the hallway-
Alex: I feel like I’m gonna barf.
Jay: Don’t tell me you’re serious about these stupid elections.
Marco: Alex!!
Alex: Just who I wanted to see. What?
Marco: Yesterday when you said you’d call me gay in front of the whole school-
Alex: I was gonna call you queer, but if you prefer gay…
Marco: I don’t. Thanks. Look you have an actual chance at winning this.
Alex: You think?
Marco: So call me gay, queer, whatever, but is that how you want to fight? Or do you wanna try and win this election for real?
Jay: Save it for Ms. Sauve!
-In the auditorium-
Alex: It’s always the same. Some pretty boy or girl wants to be president and me…WE sit out while they have their special dances or trips nobody can afford. So I say screw ‘em! Screw student council. No dances, no trips, nothing…not if it’s gonna be just like last year. Take a chance and vote for me, it won’t be like last year. I will make changes, where they count! So it’s up to you Degrassi. What are you gonna do? Are you gonna vote for the freak…or the pretty boy? You’ll have more fun with the freak.
Mr. Raditch: Thank you Alex. Up next is Marco Del Rossi.
*cheering for Marco in the audience*
Marco: Look she’s right. No, Alex is right. The school is split. But where she’s wrong. Look. C’mon it’s not the presidents job to remind us that we’re freaks. I mean I do that fine all by myself.
Jay: *pretending to cough* Queer!
Mr. Raditch: Mr Hogart! I’ll see you after in my office!
Marco: Hey! Queer? Sure. Odd? Why not. Strange? You bet! I love this school and I promise if you vote for me I will bring Degrassi together in freakish harmony for the first time. For real. Thank you.
*People clapping and cheering for him*
-In the hall at school-
Liberty: *On the TV screen* The first council meeting will be Thursday at lunch and last but not least your student council president is Marco Del Rossi!
Alex: Out of my way.
Marco: I get to pick my vice president.
Alex: I get to pick my nose.
Marco: Alex…
Alex: I don’t play well with others.
Marco: Good. I’m not asking you to play. I really liked your speech, but most important I think you can bring a lot to the position.
Alex: Thursday right?
Marco: Bring your lunch!
*Marco sees Dylan and the two of them walk outside*
Dylan: Congratulations Mr. President. So, what does it feel like to be the most powerful man at Degrassi?
Marco: Mixing me up with Mr. Raditch eh? Not cool, nor flattering…I really liked you being here today Dylan, probably because I just plain old like you. I told my mom.
Dylan: Paige told me.
Marco: But I’m not ready to tell me dad. Not yet.
Dylan: You’re eventually going to have to tell him…but uh when you’re ready and I’m okay with that part!
Mr. Del Rossi: Hey Mr. President! That’s our new president! I’m so happy for him. So! How much you win by?!
Marco: I won! Let’s leave it at that.
Mr. Del Rossi: I still think you could have used more posters! Marco! That boy! What he called out! And what you answer back! What is that?
Marco: Dirty politics. I mean I guess queer was the worst thing he thought he could call me you know?
Mr. Del Rossi: Still! You make me and your mama very proud of you today!
Mrs. Del Rossi: Very proud. Didn’t he Dylan?
Dylan: He won Mrs. Del Rossi and I think that’s great!
*Mrs. Del Rossi kissed Marco on the cheek and her and Mr. Del Rossi left leaving Marco and Dylan together*
