Going Down The Road Part I
*note: The deleted scene can be seen on the "Jay And Silent Bob Do Degrassi dvd*
*deleted scene*
(Why it was deleted, I have no idea because it�s very cute)
(Craig and Ashley are cuddled up on the couch. Actually, she�s kind of on top of him and their hair is very messy!
He gives her a journal as a gift)
Ashley: I love it!
Craig: Good. I want comprehensive notes on every band you see.
And what it�s like to work at the BBC.
Ashley: I was worried you�d be a blubbering wreck today.
Craig: I�m gonna miss you. I just�I have a feeling that this summer, us being apart�won�t have seemed that long at all.
Ashley: England used to be the end of the world. Land�s end and then just ocean heading towards nothing.
Craig: It�s why we have airplanes.
Ashley: Yeah, but you�ll be here on the other side of nothing. So far away from me.
*He kisses her*
Craig: That�s why we have telephones. Might as well be there with you.
*deleted scene*
(Jay, Silent Bob and Alanis Morisette on set talking about why they�re in Canada. Craig and Ashley are watching
off to the side)
Jason: Oh, no sir. That�s why I�m here. Hey, how you doin�?
*He nods toward Ashley*
Kevin: Craig, do not let this fool mack on your broad just �cause he�s been in a few movies, kid.
Alanis: A few bad movies.
Kevin: Exactly.
Alanis: I�m so sorry, Kevin. That was out loud wasn�t it?
*She goes and grabs Jason*
Alanis: Come on, Mewesy. Let�s go make out in the trailer.
Jason: For real?
Alanis: For real.
*They walk away*
Kevin: And I cast her in two movies as God�what are you doing here, sir? Shouldn�t you be at home writing me a tune?
Ashley: My fault, I dragged him away.
Craig: She�s uh�she�s abandoning me tomorrow.
Kevin: Oh, that�s right London calling. What are you going to do before you leave the UK?
Ashley: See a movie in Luster Square.
Kevin: Very, very good. Make sure you write this dude tons of lovey-dovey postcards. I need him in that frame of mind, so he can write me a power ballad. I gotta go back to work. You�I suggest, you do the same. Beat it.
Craig: All right�it�s not like I�ll have anything better to do all summer, right?
Ashley: Craig, please. You said.
Craig: It�s a joke. It�s me. It�s joking. It�s great�It�s a great opportunity and I�ll be fine, honest.
Ashley: Less than 24 hours from now and I�m on a plane to England.
*Craig looks sad*
(Craig and Ashley getting lunch in the cafeteria on set. Spinner and Jay are serving the food)
Spinner: The Dot�s catering the shoot, K? So�until summer school starts, I�m here. And�got Jay a job too. So, uh�what are you having? We have prime rib, chicken cordon bleu�
*Ashley looks at Craig worried what he might say or do*
Craig: I�d rather eat my own liver than accept food from you two scumbags.
Jay: Manning, do I need to remind you that I�m holding a big scary knife in my hand?
Craig: Ya�watch your fingers.
*Craig slams the lid to the food down in Jay�s face*
(Craig and Ashley walk away and she grabs at his shirt to stop him)
Ashley: Did you take your pills last night?
Craig: Don�t ask me that. It�s embarrassing.
Ashley: No�that was embarrassing.
Craig: Sorry�I�m sorry.
(Craig is sulking on the floor and Kevin, Jason and Ellie walk up after filming a scene)
Ellie: Only trying to get Morrissey here to crack a smile.
Craig: Why? Ash is leaving to England where she's going to find a way cooler guy with an accent, fall madly in love and never, ever come back.
Kevin: Ugh. The angst. Thank god I'm not a teenager anymore.
Craig: It's not funny.
Jason: That's right. It's, it's pathetic.
*He touches Ellie's hair*
Kevin: Sir! What uh flirting with disaster over here is trying to say is, just go already man! I don't know what you're doing hanging around the hallways of Degrassi all summer anyway. Just find some summer music program, Coldplay or some excuse dude, but just go hang out with your old lady in London you know? What could be better than that?? Beats this.
(Craig and Caitlin try to convince Joey to let him go to London)
Joey: Apparently I'm supposed to be open. As in my mind.
Craig: Okay there's this great music school.
Caitlin: In Camden.
Craig: It's part of London. I'd be earning a credit for next year.
Joey: You want to go to England?
Caitlin: It's just for the summer and he's got education money in his trust fund.
Craig: Yes, Ashley's dad is there and there are like teacher-types in my dorm. Just say yes! Just give in already. Caitlin and I have thought of everything.
Joey: Not six months ago you were hospitalized! Diagnosed bi-polar.
Craig: I'm OK now. I'm on my meds. I've been on them for months.
Joey: Craig no. I, I don't feel comfortable with you being thousands of miles away from me. What if something went wrong?
Craig: Right. England probably wouldn't even let a psychopath like me in, right? They already had what, Jack the Ripper and mad cow disease.
Joey: I'm not saying that Craig!
(Craig and Jimmy are eating lunch and Joey comes to talk to him)
Craig: Yeah so it still needs lyrics, but what do you think?
Jimmy: It's good. It's good. I got something for you: Ashley please don't go. Please don't leave me. Don't fall in love with an ugly Limey.
Craig: Shut up.
*Craig throws a fry at Jimmy*
Jimmy: Okay you can't throw fries at a kid in a wheelchair.
*Joey walks up*
Joey: Craig.
Craig: Let's go get our seats.
Joey: Craig listen. I know you thought I was being offensive but honestly I wasn't trying to hurt you.
Craig: Yeah well you did! I mean why do I take the stupid pills?! You don't believe I'm better.
*Joey holds out the plane ticket and Craig gets very excited and has a giddy smile on his face*
Joey: There are conditions though. I will be calling the school to disclose your illness, I want you to call me every day especially if something doesn't feel right and I want Mr. Kerwin to keep an eye on you too.
(Ashley is putting her things into a cab and Craig surprises her)
Craig: Hey.
*He picks up one of her bags and loads it into the trunk and she has the biggest smile on her face*
Craig: Whatcha got in here?
Ashley: Every shoe I own. Hey.
*They kiss (and it�s a really hot kiss, in case anyone was wondering)*
Ashley: You know, I thought this whole goodbye thing was gonna be so hard, but I�m so glad you�re here and that�that you surprised me.
Craig: Parting�so not sweet sorrow. I�m uh�I�m coming. Tomorrow, but since it�s the red eye I�ll be in London the day after that.
Ashley: You�re just flying to London?
Craig: It�s what planes are for.
Ashley: You, you can�t follow me to England.
Craig: Ash, come on.
Ashley: Look�why, why are you here doing this? Are you off your meds?
Craig: No, I�m not off my meds. I�m here �cause I love you and I have plans.
Ashley: Yeah, so do I Craig. And you said you were OK with them. You said it repeatedly, so what is this?
Craig: This is me trying to figure out how we�re going to spend the summer together. You think I�m having an episode!
Ashley: I don�t know what to think. Look, I need space! I�I need to get away.
Craig: Oh�OK.
Ashley: From you. Look, Craig. I love you�but ever since my dad�s wedding, it�s just been me worrying. Me watching for signs, watching what I say.
Craig: Why won�t you just believe me? I�m better now. I�m OK. I am.
*She loads the rest of her stuff into the trunk*
Ashley: E-mail me, OK? I�ll see you in September.
*She walks away and tries very hard to keep her tears in�as do I. Craig is left standing alone in the street*
