Manny walks toward Philip. She's wearing low rider jeans and a low-cut white tank top.
"Hey," she says.
"Hey," he replies.
She walks away, swaying her hips, and he goes over to her. "Would you maybe want to go out tomorrow night?"
"I would," she says.
"Cool, so I'll meet you at The Dot tomorrow at six?" he asks.
"I'd like that," she responds.
Theme song
"Like a Virgin"
"So, we'll still on for tomorrow, right?" Jay asks Emma.
"Yeah," she says. "But we're just going as friends, right?"
"So you haven't changed your mind yet?" he asks.
"Jay, I'm sorry, but no," she says.
He lets out a breath of air, "I get checked out every three months. No sexually transmitted diseases on me."
"You have sex with that many girls?" Emma asks, eyes wide.
"No, no," he says. "Just about one or two a year, give or take."
"That's not a lot to you?" she asks.
"Well, a lot to me is one a month," he says.
"You're disgusting, Jay," Emma says.
"Come on, I know you're a virgin and all that, but, still," Jay says.
Emma scoffs.
"You're not a virgin?" he asks
Emma realizes what she's done, "Um, you know, the uh, ravine."
"That's not quite what I meant," Jay says. "And you know it."
"How do you know?" Emma asks.
"I've lied enough times to tell when someone else is lying," Jay tells her. "So, who was it?"
"I'm not talking about this," Emma says.
"Come on," Jay says. "Was it that guy after Sean, Chris or something?"
"No," she says.
"Was it Cameron?" he asks.
Emma doesn't say anything.
"It was Cameron?" he asks, incredulously. "He wouldn't even do it with Amy!"
"Really?" Emma asks.
"Would I lie to you?" Jay says.
"Most likely," she retorts.
"Come on, I didn't know that I had an STD," Jay says.
"I know, Jay," Emma says, "but I still won't sleep with you."
"I saved your life!" he exclaims.
"And I'm thankful for that," she says. "I'm going to that party with you tomorrow."
"You slept with Sean after he saved you life," he says.
"No, it was before that," she tells him.
"Whatever, still you slept with him," Jay says.
"I'm not talking about this with you," she says, and walks away.
Scene change
Manny's at home and her phone rings.
"Hello?" she says into the receiver.
"Is this Manuela?" a guy with a light accent asks.
"Who's asking?" she says.
"Look, you wanted to see my mom?" he says. "Well, I'd like a favor. My friend is a little down on his luck with girls. See him tomorrow at eight, do what you do, and I'll talk to my mom."
"I have plans tomorrow," she says.
"Too bad," he replies.
"Fine," she sighs, "I'll cancel."
"Great," he says.
Manny hangs up and dials the number of Philip. "Hello?"
"Hey, Philip," Manny says. "We need to reschedule for tomorrow night."
"Oh," he sounds disappointed.
"So, how about the next night?" she suggests.
"Aright," he says. "See you then."
Scene change
Philip is at his house and he overhears his brother talking to a friend.
"I got her for you," he says. "Her name is Manuela."
"Isn't this a little, illegal?" his friend asks.
"She really wants to see my mom," he says. "She's making a new movie. I've already tried her. Kind of."
"Kind of?" the friend asks.
"You know," he says.
"Oh," his friend replies.
"Yeah, she had plans for tomorrow night, but I made her change them," he says. A look of understanding and disgust comes over Philip's face.
"Wasn't that a little mean?" the friend asks.
"Hey, you've gotta do what you've gotta do," he says.
Scene change
It's during lunchtime at Degrassi. Philip goes to confront Manny.
"Manny?" he asks. "Your name isn't by any chance Manuela is it?"
"Well, yes, but you can call me Manny," she says.
"Um, ok, but that's not what I want to talk to you about," he says.
"Oh," she says.
"You aren't by any chance doing a favor for my brother are you?" he asks.
"How did you find out my name was really Manuela?" she asks.
"Manny, please don't ignore me," he says.
"What's your brother's name?" she asks, quietly.
"Chandler," he replies.
Manny looks horrified. "Oh my."
"Look, I like you a lot, but if you're doing what I think you're doing, I can't go out with you," he tells her.
"I like you a lot, too," she says. "I've never felt this way about anyone in my life before. But I want to get to the top."
"Then I'm sorry Manny," he says, then he turns away.
Scene change
"So, ready for tonight?" Jay asks.
"No," Emma replies.
"What?" Jay asks.
"But I'm still coming," she says. "As long as I don't have to drink."
"Fine," he says.
"You're not getting me into bed," she says.
"We'll see," he tells her.
"No, you'll see," she says.
"I'm very persuasive," he argues.
"Nothing you say can persuade me, Jay," she reassures him.
Scene change
Manny is at Philip's house. She knocks on the door and Philip answers it.
"Manny?" he asks.
Manny throws her arms around him. He pats her on the back, "Weren't you supposed to be doing something tonight?"
Manny kisses him hard, "I canceled it!"
"For me?" he asks.
"For you," she responds, kissing him.
They go into the house and start making out.
Scene change
Emma and Jay are at the party.
"Come on, Emma," says an obviously drunk Jay.
"You disgust me," Emma responds.
"Well, you make me hot," Jay tells her.
"Nice for you," Emma says, now go away.
"Is that any way to talk to the man who saved your life?" he asks.
"No," Emma says, "I'd never talk to Sean that way."
"Right," Jay says, "Cameron, but I'm another man who saved your life."
"Well Jay," Emma says, "I'd really prefer not to think of you as a human."
"Why?" Jay asks.
"Because when I do, I'm scared for the human race," Emma responds.
"Well, will you come to bed with me anyway?" Jay asks.
"For the millionth time, no!" Emma shouts.
"You know what Greenpeace?" Jay asks.
"What?" says Emma.
"I thought you were fun," Jay responds, "but you're no fun. No fun at all."
"I'm sorry," Emma says sarcastically. "Would you like me to go have fun with you?"
Jay's face brightens, "Yeah!"
"No," Emma says. "Why don't you find someone else to have fun with."
Jay tries to kiss her, but she pushes him away. "Fine!" he exclaims, then turns to another girl. "Hey you!"
Scene change
Emma's getting home and sees Manny sitting on her bed.
"Ah!" Emma screams, flipping on the light. "Manny you nearly gave me a heart attack! What are you doing here?"
"You really should lock that window," Manny replies.
"What are you doing here?" Emma demands.
"Jeez, Em, calm down," Manny says. "I just had the most amazing night with Philip."
"You didn't?" Emma asks.
"You know the answer to that question," Manny says.
"Manny, I don't mean to lecture you or anything, but you could get an STD from sleeping around," Emma says. "I mean, look what happened to me."
"That's different," Manny says. "Philip is nothing like Jay."
"How do you know?" Emma asks.
"You can just tell," Manny replies.
"How well do you really know this guy?" Emma asks.
"Why do you have to be so uptight?" Manny counters.
"Manny, come on," Emma says.
"Fine, if it'll make you happy, I'll go the Free Clinic tomorrow," Manny promises, "but I guarantee you that Philip didn't have an STD."
"Whatever," Emma says.
"But I might," Manny mumbles.
"What?" Emma asks.
"Uh, can I stay over?" Manny asks. "I kind of told my mom I was."
"Aright," Emma says, "but I'm going to sleep."
Scene change
Emma and Manny are at school. Emma sees Jay making out with some girl.
"He disgusts me," Emma tells Manny. Manny seems a little out of it. "Manny? Hello?"
"Uh, yeah, right," Manny responds.
"What's wrong?" Emma asks.
"I need to talk to Philip," Manny says quietly.
"He's over there," Emma points.
"Right now?" Manny asks.
"Well, you don't have to, but I'd like my best friend back," Emma says.
Manny walks over to him, "Philip, can I talk to you?"
"Sure," he says.
"Uh, do you have an STD?" she asks.
"No," Philip replies, "I've been tested. Why?"
"When was the last time?" Manny asks.
"Right after my first time," Philip replies. "Manny, you were only my second."
"Oh no," Manny whispers.
"What is it?" Philip has worry in his voice.
"You might need to be tested again," Manny replies.
"Why?" Philip asks.
"Before I slept with you, I had no idea," Manny says.
"No idea of what?" Philip asks.
"I just went to make a friend happy," Manny goes on.
"What is it, Manny?" Philip asks.
"Philip," Manny says, "I'm so sorry."
"Why are you sorry?" his voice contains even more worry.
"I- I- I," Manny begins.
"You what?" he asks.
"I have Herpes," Manny replies.
Philip's eyes get really big, "What?"
"I'm so sorry!" she goes to hug him.
"Don't touch me!" he shouts, pulling away.
