"That's new." "Yeah, I'm feeling good today." "Did you have a good weekend?" "Spending time with my daughters always makes me feel warm and fuzzy." "Nerd!" "I'm kidding!" "I had fun, too." " Have a good day, kiddo." " I will." "I love you guys." "Oh, the nerd apple doesn't fall far from the nerd tree." "What?" "I do." "Bring it in." "Hey, do we have any wrapping paper?"

"Yeah, I mean, I think people are really gonna dig this." "Yeah." "What?" "Allergic to compliments there, big guy?" "I just got a text." "It's from Tristan." " Is he okay?" " He's coming to the play." "Isn't that great news?" "I'm just worried that if he sees it, he's gonna figure out..." "You and Lola are hooking up?" "I knew it!" "You owe me a 20 and you're a dirtbag for cheating." "No, look, it was just one time." "And it was when Tristan was still in a coma." "I didn't think that we were getting him back." "It didn't mean anything." "Be honest." "If he sees this thing, is he gonna guess what happened?" "Hey, man, we directed the thing, and we still weren't sure, so..." "Well, I can't have him finding out in a room full of people." "Aren't you excited to see Rasha perform tonight?" "I didn't get to see her this morning, 'cause she left early for the tech run." "Do you think she's nervous?" "Is that the program for the play?" "Shouldn't that be all done and printed by now?" "I was... busy this weekend." "Everything okay?" "I'll be fine." "Okay, well, at least let me help." "There's a typo." "Do you think Rasha's picture should be bigger than Lola's?" "Okay, why don't you do this yourself?" "Okay, I don't know anything about the play!" "Oh, thank goodness you're here." "So, the play is a love triangle between Hero and his boyfriend, Coma Boy, who's in a coma, and Hope, some girl he meets online?" "What is love, anyway?" "Okay, I don't know what's up with you, or why Zoë's so freaked out, but I need to get this done." "You know why Zoë's so upset?" "Because we broke up." "You... were dating?" " Why didn't you tell me?" " I don't know." "Maybe all the casual homophobia?" " I'm..." "I'm not, uh..." " Okay, then riddle me this." "Am I sinning if I have sex with Zoë?" "According to the Qur'an, yes, but I still love you guys." "Love the sinner, hate the sin." "See?" "You get it." "I thought it would be different here." "I'd get to be in a play and have a girlfriend who would show up backstage with a bouquet of roses, and it would all be perfect, but..." "It's not my fault you guys broke up." "I didn't even know!" "No, Zoë invited me to her mom's wedding to make her Mom mad." "And her Mom was mad." "She kicked her out." "Of the wedding?" "Of her house." "Her own daughter?" "Just for being gay?" "Yeah." "So who's the real sinner?" "Today's the day, Degrassians." "Pick up your tickets for I.M. Hope in the foyer." "Hope to see you there!" "Hey, have you seen Grace?" "Uh, no, not... not today." "Look, Esme's gonna be here any second, and I can't be caught talking to you." "Not after last time." "Right." "Sorry about that." " Uh..." " Oh!" "Thanks." "Hey." "Shaving our heads, eating shards of glass and bathing in fire ants." "Uh, what?" "Three things I'd rather do than watch Miles' play." "Esme, look, I told you, we have to support Grace." " I'm sure it'll be fine." " Have you met Miles?" "It's gonna be a waking nightmare." "Aw, you shouldn't have." "I didn't." "It's for Grace." "Can you give it to her?" "Uh, no." "You can give it to her yourself at the play tonight." "She doesn't want me there." "Mmm, well, yeah." "I mean, she might seem a little mad right now, but, deep down, I know she loves you." "What are you?" "The Grace whisperer?" "Ah, hardly." "But... here." "It's one of my comp tickets." "You can't turn down a free ticket, can you?" "Programs are ready with 30 minutes to spare before showtime." "Did your Mom really kick you out for being gay?" "Rasha told me." "I really thought my Mom would be able to accept it... but nope." "So, I guess I live with Grace now." " That seems a little harsh." " Strongly agree." " There's nothing you can do to fix it?" " You got a cure for lesbian?" "Worst part is, I was so focused on chasing this idea that my Mom might actually accept me, that I screwed things up with Rasha forever." "Maybe not forever." " Oh, I'm, uh, sorry!" "Um..." " Uh..." "Hey, actually, can you come in here for a second?" "But you're, um..." "It's not like we haven't seen each other like this before." "Right?" "Preach." "Okay." "Um, so Tristan is coming to the play, and he... he can't find out about us." "I know." "I told you, I won't say anything." "I know, I know, but I just need to change a few lines." "It's not that many." "Here." "Look, I'm sorry about how this all went down." "The... the timing, the..." "I'm sorry I wasn't there for the..." "You know..." "It's okay." "I'm okay." "No, still, I should have been there." "Can I ask you something?" "Did I mean anything to you?" "Like, at all?" "Yeah, you were my hope." "Yeah, that looks totally fine." "I'm pretty sure our seats are over there." "Yeah, but if it gets too creepy, I want a quick exit." "Okay." "Is that..." "Is that Tristan?" "Best seat in the house, for the guest of honor." "Isn't it so inspiring?" "It's like we can finally put the bus crash behind us." "Ticket?" "Uh, seat 20, in the aisle." "Um, I..." "I can tell them to move." "No." "No." "I don't wanna be a bother." "Um, I actually have a thing, anyways." "Could you give this to Grace for me?" "Thank you." "Where are you?" "Answer me." "I'm worried." "I love you." "Please." "Oh, this is weird." "I'm not used to you being so quiet." "Aah!" "You're really in a coma, huh?" "Well... that's okay." "Because I'm not leaving until you're better." "What am I supposed to do until you wake up?" "Can't do anything right." "Oh, no." "Maya?" "Saad, hey." "Can you help me?" "Oh, you're the best." "Thank you for being my friend." "I... uh..." "You said we weren't friends anymore." "No." "Forget about that." "It wasn't me talking." "I always liked you." "There's gotta be something worth living for?" "I'd only miss doing things with Coma Boy." " Like what?" " We used to play this one game..." "You'll never catch me." "I'm faster than you." "But I'm smarter." "I can't keep doing it." "It's been months of this." "And he's almost better." " I want to see you, Hope." " You can't." "He's only made it this far because you've been by his side." "But I've only made it this far because you were by mine." "Okay, this is brutal." "I can't..." "Wait." "Where are you going?" "It's just getting good." "Come on." "I'll make it worth your while." "Please." "I'm coming." "You shouldn't be here." "I need to touch you." "No." "You never needed me." "You needed someone." "And now, he needs you." "Hope?" "Hero?" "Are you there?" "Yes." "Yes." "And I'm never leaving." "Okay." "Thank you guys so much for coming." "If you..." "If you enjoyed that, then I owe it all to my amazing cast and crew, and our codirectors." "So let's raise a nonalcoholic bubbly to them." "Shall we?" "Okay, enjoy the party, guys." "Can I get your autograph?" "I'm so sorry I used you at my mom's wedding." "Can you ever forgive me?" "Of course." "Oh." "Ah, they're everything I dreamed of." "Thank Goldi." "She helped pick them out." "You really helped with this?" "I realized that Hero and Coma Boy's love is no different than anyone else's." "Neither is yours." "You should be together." "Even if we're sinning?" "I decided that's not up to me." "I just want you to be happy." "Enjoy your party, superstar." "There you are." "Must have been too loud for you in Student Council?" "So... what'd you think?" "Be brutal." "I thought it was beautiful." "It all felt very real." "I hooked up with Lola, Tristan." "I'm so sorry." "The doctors thought that you weren't going to make it..." "I know." "You do?" "Between that video she posted and the play, it's kind of obvious." "Do you hate me?" "Do you love her?" "It's over." "I ended it as soon as you woke up." "But did you love her?" "I guess, yeah." "I couldn't have made it through everything without her." "Who do you want to be with?" "You." "You saw the play, Tris." "I know that it sounds messed up, but everything..." "everything was about you." "Even Lola." "Okay." "Okay?" "Okay." "I can't believe we pulled it off." "Yeah, yeah, we, uh, we make a good team." "Uh, I guess now that the... the play's over, we don't really have an excuse to hang out anymore." "Maybe we can find one?" "Sorry to interrupt." "Um, I'm not really a theater person, but I really loved that." "Oh, it's not from me." "It's uh, it's from Maya." "She didn't stay and watch?" "Why would she give me this?" "Let's see it." "I should text her." "Except I forgot that I blocked her and then she blocked me." "She deleted all of her accounts." "What?" "Everything?" "Except this one picture." "Finally, some privacy." "I didn't know you could get up here." "Isn't it better than Miles' stupid play?" "We crossed off parking lot on our bingo card, so I figured I had to look for some new spots." "Oh, that's why you wanted to ditch the play." "Why didn't you just say so?" " Whoa!" " What?" "No, look." "Oh, my God!" "Maya?" "Oh, my God!" "Uh, uh, what do we do?" " She's OD'ing!" " Well, should we try to make her throw up?" "No!" "No." "You never do that." "I learned that with my Mom." "We have to put her in... in prone position and call 911!" "Uh, hello." "We have an OD'ing female." "We're at Degrassi Community School." "We're at the roof." "Please hurry." "We should have seen this coming." "She deleted all of her social media." "She made that song." "Not to mention those death photos." "I told her to leave me alone today." "I knew she was sad," "I just didn't think she'd be capable of this." "Stop." "It's nobody's fault." "No one can know what's going on inside someone's head and she didn't want to be here anymore and now she's getting her wish." "Okay, come on." "Easy..." "She's gonna make it." "I mean, she's been through something, and..." "It's been really hard and it's gonna be a fight, but, um, I hope that you guys stick by her through this." "We will." "Tell Maya I said thanks, but she'll still be needing this." "Grace." " I'll be home later." " Okay." "I can't help but think if things had gone slightly differently this semester... that might have been me in there." "People are important." "Can we get pizza?" "It's literally been six months since I've had pizza." "Sounds good to me." "I'm starving, so..." "How did you survive without pizza?"
