(Emma is daydreaming. She is dressed like Manny and walking around the school, turning heads. Sully walks up to her and kneels in front of her.
Sully: Emma, I love you. Will you marry me?
Sean: No, Emma, marry me!
Chris: Marry me!
All the guys start yelling for Emma to marry him.
Emma breaks out of the daydream and looks over at Manny who is in deep conversation with the guy behind her. Liberty taps her on the shoulder)
Emma: (turning around) What?
Liberty: Mr. Simpson just called your name. (giggles)
Emma: (loudly) Sorry, Snake, er, Mr. Simpson.
Mr. Simpson: Sorry? For what?
Emma: Didn't you call on..... (she turns around to a giggling Liberty.)
(Liberty goes into a daydream.
Mr. Simpson: And to my pet, Liberty, I award a million A's, and a million awards!
Liberty: Oh, thank you, Mr. Simpson.
Emma: Mr. Simpson, I have a question.
Mr. Simpson: Emma! Can't you see I'm talking to Liberty now? Be quiet and go away!
She breaks out of the daydream)
Scene 8- We see JT walking through the hall. He, too, is in a daydream.
(He is dressed in baggy clothes and running madly through the school destroying everything in his place. He runs and stands on a desk and shouts: I am invincible!
He breaks out of the daydream, smiling. Sean bumps into him.)
Sean: Watch it. (JT runs off. Sean goes into his daydream. He is in a huge house and a bunch of presents are under the tree. His parents are hugging him and telling him they love him.
He breaks out of it)
Ellie: Hey, Sean.
Sean: He, Ellie.
Ellie: Listen. Call me tonight. Or, er, I'll call you- either way.
Sean: Uh, okay, see ya. (leaves. Ellie turns around to see Hazel talking to a bunch of people, laughing)
(Ellie goes into her daydream. She is home with her mother, who is not drunk, exchanging presents. Just when it seems things cant get any better, he dad walks in the front door in his military costume with a huge bag of presents.
She breaks out of the daydream.)
Scene 9- We see Sean at his job at the car dealorship. He looks out the window and sees Jimmy with his dad looking at cars. He goes into a daydream
(Sean's dad: And someday, son, all this will be your's.
There is a big pile of gold and silver in a large room.
He breaks out of the daydream as Jimmy walks in to say hi.)
Jimmy: Yo, Spin.
Spinner: Oh hey Jimmy.
Jimmy: Making some dough for your present?
Spinner: You know it.
Jimmy: Oh...okay.....uh....bye. (He goes into his daydream. All the girls are drooling over him.
Jimmy: Hey, Tiffany- how bought I get a ring from Tiffany's? And Madden, a whole room full of Steve Madden shoes. Yeah I can afford it- I got a job. That's right, I'm a man in a uniform. (laughs)
He breaks out of the daydream)
Spinner: Are you?
Jimmy: What?
Spinner: Gonna get a car today?
Jimmy: Uh.. not today, uh, yeah.
Scene 10- We see grade 9 in their classroom. No one is talking- they are basically all depressed. Liberty comes on the TV.
Liberty: Good morning Deegrassi students. (Manny looks at Libery longingly) Since today is our last day before Christmas break, all students must go to the gym at 1:20 where we well get into small groups of all ages and discuss Christmas, Hanika, Kwaza, whatever you celebrate.
Sean: If you celebrate anything.
Liberty: Thank you. (gets off)
Mr. Simpson: Okay, class, you heard her. 1:20 report to the gym. Have a nice day. (everyone leaves)
Scene 11- We see grade 10 in Miss Kwans class. They are in their discussion groups again.
Jimmy: (to Hazel. Spinner is listening in) Yeah. I'm not sure if I want to get the mustang or the jetta- still deciding.
Hazel: Sounds great!
Jimmy: Yeah.
Spinner: (cutting) Jimmy, shut up about the car already.
Jimmy: Woe, Spin, did you forget to take your meds today or something.
SPinner: Hey shut up. I'm just saying- not everyone wants to hear about your richie rich christmas presents, okay?
Jimmy: Oooo someone's jealous. Remember last time you were jealoius- you stole my mp3 player.
SPinner: You're still mad about that?
Jimmy: Well, what are you gonna still my car this time?
Spinner: That's not fair, Jimmy.
Jimmy: Well alot of things aren't fair. I hardly ever see my parents. You got it all, Spin- good parents, all the girls, and a great job.
Spinner: Well, you got a dad who will buy you whatever you want.
Jimmy: It doesn't matter. I would kill for your job.
Spinner: Why do you need a job- you got your dad.
Jimmy: (whispering) I want to do something special for Hazel this christmas.
Spinner: Oh, wow.
Jimmy: Yeah.
SPinner: Okay, listen, Jimmy, I can probably get you a job at the dealorship- that'd be fun- you and me working together.
Jimmy: Yeah. And Spinner, having a dad who gives me stuff isn't really the greatest thing in the world. Nothing can replace parental love- and that's what you got. I never even see my parents.
Spinner: I never really thought of that. I'm sorry, Jimmy.
Jimmy: Yeah, me, too, man.
SPinner: Well, when you get your car we are going on so many road trips!
Jimmy: YOu know it!
Miss Kwan: okay it's 1:20. You all need to get to the gym. (they all get up to leave)
Scene 12- We see the gym full of students all in small circles with their group. Miraculously, Liberty, Emma, Manny, JT, Toby, Sean, Ashley, Paige, and Terri are all in the same group.
Paige: (reading from an index card) Now get with a partner and talk about what is making you feel happy this christmas. (the pair off- Terri and Paige, Sean and JT, Toby and Ashley, and a group of three- Liberty, Emma, and Manny.
Paige: (smiling) So what is making you happy this christmas, Terri?
Terri: Paige, stop smiling.
Paige: What?
Terri: Nothing is making me happy this christmas.
Paige: What are you talking about, Terri- you have everything.
Terri: No.
Paige: Uh, yeah, your grades, your boyfriend. I want to have those things.
Terri: Rick doesn't even talk to me anymore, Paige. Spinner really loves you- he’s getting you an amazing present for Christmas!
Paige: That doesn't matter, Terri. I would kill for your grades.
Terri: All I want is to be loved by someone.
Paige: And all I want is to pass English. (pauses) I have an idea- I get Rick to be a better boyfriend to you and you tutor me in English.
Terri: Uh, I don't know.
Paige: Come on, Terri. It will make us both feel alot happier this Christmas.
Terri: Okay, Paige. Whatever.
