Degrassi "There's Your Trouble" Episode Discussion

learned:

* the title: i've always hated cars. there's something false about cars and car people and the car world. it's unnatural. humans should fly instead.

* Becky: what? you lied to me? you said i sung well when i didn't? who does that?!
Imogen: friends. it's a paradox.
Becky: i'd slam my locker door shut and storm off in a huff pondering this paradox if i could, but with my leg cast and all, it would just look silly.

* Zoe: i'm helping you. do all of you want to end up old hags regretting when you were young and nubile and could flash your tits to the world?
Frankie: haven't you heard of peaking in high school? and if you call me Francesca one more time i'll give you one of those Eli punches to the nose. it'll be worse than Marcia and the football.

* Grace: stop being a bitch.
Zoe: no one wants that more than me. that would have made sense. i should have been permanently mellowed after my horrific experiences and become a mouse, marry Zig, and start wearing padded blouses and pantsuits, but the writers decided for an uncomfortable, forced return to the status quo instead.
Grace: pantsuits? so you wanna be like that destined-to-be, can't-lose, shoo-in first Female President?
Zoe: of Degrassi?

* Clare: i feel barfy and hungry at the same time: bungry.
Eli: that's disgusting but you're still cute to me so i'll laugh nervously.
Clare: okay, harfy. you don't have to be fake with me, Eli, be yourself. what are you truly feeling at this moment?
Eli: i used to be hangry, as in hungry and angry, but i lost my appetite imagining bungry. now i'm just angry. you'll see what i do about this later.

* Becky: my life sucks cos of you.
brother: are you sure it's not cos of that forced smile you wear?
Becky: hey, i had to do something to distract from that horrid yellow i wore all the time. when am i gonna be let out of this oppressive Christian stereotype?
brother: YOU'RE the one who wants to be let out?!
Becky: at least that orange looks good on you. it's the new black.

* Shane Motherfucking Kippel: kids. i'm awesome cos of that line.
Eli: oh hi, Shane! so you were on the show when it was still good.
Shane: bingo.
Eli: where's your wife?
Shane: Emma? she's on another show.
Eli: where's your best friend?
Shane: Jimmy? haven't you heard? y'know, Drake?
Eli: is that some ultra-obscure rap lyric new meme word that i'm supposed to know the definition of?
Shane: no, it's Isaiah from The Bible.
Eli: Drake & Josh?
Shane: nice, keeping it in the Nick family.

* Eli punches Drew.
Clare: what the fuck.
Eli: i realized something. i'm not angry at Drew, i'm angry at you, Clare!
Clare: keep going.
Eli: okay, i'm really angry at myself.
Clare: that's more emo than goth.

* Becky: i'm gonna be okay.
me: this is a ripoff of the ending to Cassie's Skins Pure. props for ripping off quality material, though.
