Sean: Really? I think it's hot. (leaves)
Emma: Manny, Manny?
Manny: Yeah, Em?
Emma: Sean likes the hairstyle. He thinks its hot!
Manny: Let me guess. (mocking Emma) 'It is so demeaning to a girl to do something just because she wants a guy to think she is hot.'
Emma: You are SO right Manny, but I think I should shave me head. Besides, Snake had to do it. He might want someone else in the family to have their….
Manny: Emma. After school. My house. We'll go for it!
Scene 19- We see grade 10 in their classroom. All the girls, except Hazel and Ashley , have shaven heads.
Ashley: (to Hazel) Can you believe the trend?
Hazel: Who would have known? I try to make Paige unpopular and it just makes her more popular.
Ashley: You did this to Paige? Is that why you aren't talking?
Hazel: Yeah. She was bragging to me how she would win the contest and….
Ashley: You are brilliant! Just let everyone know that you did this to Paige and you will win for sure!
Hazel: No one will believe me. Now everybody is voting for Paige!
Ashley: You still have tomorrow's televised Speech to win back some votes. You'll kick butt! (Hazel sighs)
Scene 20- We see the door of Manny's bathroom and we just hear the dialogue.
Emma: Manny be careful!
Manny: I am, Emma. (pause) Ok. A little more. (pause) One more side. (pause) Ok, done! (we hear Emma scream and she comes running out of the bathroom with no hair.)
Emma: Look at me! Look at me!
Manny: (coming out, also with no hair)You look so cool! Hot, even!
Emma: Manny I have no hair!
Manny: Yeah, either do I! We look totally awesome!
Emma: I can't believe this. I will have to miss school tomorrow!
Manny: Emma, tomorrow is the field trip to the dance recital!
Emma: The dance recital?
Manny: Yeah.
Emma: Manny we can't go on!
Manny: Stage fright. You'll get over it.
Emma: No we REALLY can't go on. The list of requirements said NO SHAVEN HEADS.
Manny: No way!
Emma: Way! What are we going to do?
Scene 21- We see grade 10 in their classroom when Liberty comes on the TV and computers.
Liberty: Good morning Degrassi students! Remember, today is the big election and we are going to hear from our Mr. and Miss Degrassi Candidates. Voting will begin during lunch. (she leaves and Paige comes on)
Paige: Hey all! Like the hair? I did it myself! Here is a list of reasons you should vote for me: I am captain of the Spirit Squad, nice, pretty, peppy, popular, trendy, stylish, cool, cute, hot, blonde, and beautiful! Remember: if you don't have hair, vote for Paige! (everyone claps) (Paige leaves, passing Hazel)
Hazel: (to Paige, mocking her) 'If you don't have hair vote for Paige!' That doesn't even rhyme!
Paige: Bite me.
Hazel: I don't eat junk food! (On the TV) Hello my name is Hazel Aden and I really want to be Miss Degrassi. No, I am not the prettiest or the most popular, but is that really what it is all about? I mean, you shouldn't just vote for someone because they shaved their head and you did, too. Don't make this a popularity contest! Vote for the person with the best personality. (starts to leave. There is little clapping. She returns.) I changed my mind. I am resigning from the elections. Nothing is worth loosing a friend for. (leaves. There is no clapping.)
Paige: Hazel. Thanks. And…..I'm sorry. I took you for granted and thought I was so much better than you. I'm resigning, too.
Hazel: Paige, don't resign! You will win. And you're right, this is YOUR kind of thing, not mine. I shouldn't have decided to go against you, just to get attention. It was completely selfish!
Paige: Apology accepected. But, I owe you. I SHOULD resign.
Hazel: (trying to be nice) No, don't!
Paige: Ok, if you insist. (Hazel laughs.) What?
Scene 22- We see Manny, Emma, Toby, and JT backstage in costume talking to their instructor.
Emma: Please Miss Abigail! Manny and I have got to go on!
Instructor: Not with shaved heads!
Manny: Wigs! We can use wigs!
Instructor: I'm sorry. Toby, JT, you will have to fill in. Do you know the part?
Toby: (ready to go on) Yeah.
JT: (not too sure) Wait, wait! My class is out there! They're gonna laugh at us!
Instructor: JT. (disappointed) I thought I could trust you to be there if we needed you!
Toby: JT!
JT: Fine. I'll do it. (to the girls) Emma, Manny, you owe me! (Toby, JT, and the instructor leave. You hear music in the background. We see the grade nine class laughing. WE see Toby and JT on stage, doing a terrible performance. We return to Emma and Manny.)
Emma: You know, Manny, this was SO worth shaving our heads for! (they laugh)
Scene 23: It is lunch at Degrassi and we see students filling the lunchroom.
Boy 1: (to Toby and JT) Hey! You! (Toby and JT turn around) (teasing) You looked really pretty in your tutu!
JT: Yeah? I thought you would like it. Gay ball!
Boy 2: Hey Toby! Can I tie your ballet shoe for you? I know how it tires your fingers!
JT: Shut up?
Boy 1: What are you gonna do about it? Tutu boy! (JT smashes the cake the boy is carrying into his face.)
JT: FYI- dancing is HARD. Really hard! The only reason more boys don't do it is because it actual takes brains and hardworking- something you don't know about! (suddenly, Liberty's voice comes on the loudspeaker. The room grows quiet, to listen.)
Liberty's voice: Attention Degrassi students. The ballots are in for Mr. and Miss Degrassi. Mr. Degrassi is Andrew Handburg. (they cheer) And Miss Degrassi is….(Paige looks hopeful, and crosses her fingers.)……Georgia Clyburg! (they cheer, but Paige looks sad.)
Hazel: Don't worry, Paige. You deserved to win and everyone knows that.
Ashley: Yeah, Paige. Georgia just won because she's grade 12. You'll win in two years.
Paige: Yeah, and by then my hair will have grown back! (they all laugh and the Degrassi theme song plays.)
