All because I wasn't trying to solve the problem at all.

All I'm saying is, we just got to go over Melissa's head

All right. Well, that's a start.

All that at home stuff you gotta

All that education. You could be doing so much more.

All the same things all the time.

All these new people and this new tech.

All we have to do is look at the kids' feet,

All you ever have to be is the Malcolm of Science,

All you have to do is go, "Hi. I'm a teacher,

ALL: 13!

ALL: Fulfill your wishlist!

Along came Jacob, doing double dutch.

Also called, uh, blazing, frying

Also, $100, known as a C note.

Also, I brought your shorts.

Also, it's not too late to make a video.

Am I interrupting?

Amaya, you are in Jupiter's group

And And the great part is it would help the kids,

And (clicks tongue) tarnish my reputation forever

And a guy named Snake for chicken eggs

And a ladder straight to the top.

And a temporary teacher

And after learning a lot in my first year,

And all you have to do is take care of the lobs.

And animals that can sing, and it just

And arm and leg and

And as a product of the Philadelphia school system,

And as much as Ava wants to be cool,

And as much as I felt that,

And as the female reaches maturity,

And ask ourselves..

And Ava is just the latest

And basically stayed up all night preparing it.

And bought the first five or six posters you saw.

And bring it back in the morning.

And broke his crown, and Jill came tumbling after

And buy Janine the rug.

And can't afford a nice car or a mortgage

And capable of doing this job.

And class after class, they graduate,

And clearly didn't know how to handle her class.

And constant threat of global catastrophe.

And creative teachers in this entire city.

And definitely not bad.

And diversions are an important part of learning.

And do like an eyewitness account for the kids?

And dresses like Mr. Rogers.

And embarrassing.

And every season, a new beast is created.

And every Sunday after that.

And everybody else will just have to back off.

And everyone's in the hallway going crazy.

And finding out that that's not happening anytime soon

And FYI, we close at 8:00 sharp.

And get a new shakedown sweater.

And giving these kids a charcuterie experience.

And go straight to work instead of going home or whatever

And good morning to you, Raheem

And grow the minds of tomorrow.

And had enough money to replace the books.

And have a great rest of your day.

And have sex with each other.

And he ain't talking about a horse!

And he has been waking up at 11:50

And he punishes those who have been helping themselves

And he said there isn't anything he can do.

And he was in the gifted program and everything

And he was there protesting the inhumane work conditions

And he's been a music artist since we were in high school.

And help him get it out.

And here you are teaching... on the moon

And his undefeated decimal system.

And hotter than the devil's booty hole outside?

And how it actually isn't cool beans,

And how long have you two been dating?

And how many of them started in South Philly.

And how she can't handle the situation at all

And I am not counting. Sit down!

And I am sorry for insulting your food.

And I arrogantly assumed or hoped, rather

And I don't even get how she knows that reference.

And I don't like this shift

And I had to spend all of it.

And I have applied for that Advancement Grant

And I haven't been able to connect with her mom,

And I hope I always will be."

And I knew your class needed stuff

And I know I ask you for help all the time,

And I know she comes from that generation

And I love my husband.

And I loved step so much growing up.

And I need pens and paper and..."

And I never got a chance to thank you

And I overdrafted on a doughnut hole this morning.

And I really think it's gonna help.

And I said that's a few too many questions.

And I think I know someone.

And I think the job is working with what you've got

And I think they'll listen to us,

And I think we're gonna make a great team.

And I thought it'd be a good idea to stick around

And I told my neighbor, I said,

And I took it out on you

And I tried to flush the toilet,

And I want you to shut up, but in this case, very relevant.

And I was stuck in the E.R.

And I went through a program specifically meant

And I will always be there for you.

And I will be having a third talk with your mom

And I will not affect the outcome.

And I won't leave anyone behind,

And I would ask what I would bring,

And I'll be with you in a second.

And I'll do whatever it takes to figure this out.

And I'll hold you tight ♪

And I'll tell you when.

And I'm getting flowers, apparently.

And I'm going to fix this.

And I'm gonna be fine.

And I'm happy you're staying at Abbott.

And I'm sorry everyone missed lunch,

And I'm sure that's a good thing.

And I'm sure you already totally get it.

And if Barbara's right, then what does that say about me?

And if it's getting too much sunlight,

And if you don't stop every once in a while

And if you get snakes for long enough,

And if you see bananas, those are usually fingers.

And if you see someone, like, start to meander off

And in a totally different school tomorrow.

And it didn't work out this time

And it didn't work.

And it got a lot of attention, clearly,

And it helps with the search for food.

And it seems like ol' Barbara is in the same place.

And it shows that they're using critical thinking.

And it wasn't a set up for a punchline. (chuckles)

And it'll be in the same place.

And it's changing the way you do things,

And it's not just about restocking half full Funyuns

And it's not like y'all been making it rain up in here.

And it's pointing to the number...

And it's really nice to have another friend at the school.

And its history it doesn't need it.

And Jacob is, you know... Jacob.

And just take it all down anyway?

And just work through some of those feelings together.

And know where they keep the ladder.

And lame and crippled, sent by..

And left my phone in Janine's room

And let's go to "boul

And look

And look at that

And look where it landed us, baby girl.

And maybe that person isn't even thinking

And mischief

And more than that, there's passion.

And my boiled chicken sandwich alone!

And my favorite character is Woody."

And my neighbor finally found her cat,

And my subscription to Horse Fancy.

And nacho chips because they're my chips

And no money from the city,

And no one asked any questions when that worked?

And no one deserves snakes

And not real money?

And now I think I'm mad.

And now it's messing with the kids.

And now she's much higher.

And now you can.

And now you're getting your big break.

And once she gets that, she's gonna thrive.

And one for fruits

And our students are gonna get a huge boost

And pretend that desking isn't cool.

And put an end to all this.

And putting up with my near constant hijinks.

And record a whole album of, like, anti meth songs

And remember, you don't wanna show too much improvement

And see all you guys again.

And see the look on your face when we

And seeing the pricing, and, whoa, buddy, can't swing that.

And sent us the money right away.

And she never lets you forget it.

And she won't have time to distract her classmates

And she'd just keep playing my Game Boy, so...

And she's been struggling,

And show you that, like our students,

And since Ava lost her dirt on Superintendent Collins

And since Open House is usually so long and sparsely attended,

And since Will reads at a 4th grade level,

And sleeping at your sister's after a fight.

And so it would be totally understandable

And so, as your best friend here at Abbott,

And somebody cosigns it.

And sometimes, the best things you can ever do are...

And started tap dancing in front of my students"?

And structure and weighted blankets."

And Tariq is there sometimes when he needs to use the car,

And Tariq said, "Sure."

And Taylor lives in New York City!

And tell them to dance,

And thank you for trying.

And that brings me to my last chart...

And that concludes the Total Waste of Time Tour.

And that is good, because I cannot help you.

And that is how birds are related to dinosaurs.

And that is how union and non union workers

And that is one of the many ways that My Octopus Teacher

And that is why I'm here

And that shouldn't be a bad thing.

And that smell in the walls?

And that they liked me,

And that we're gonna get him to the second grade,

And that will be enough.

And that your kids deserve

And that'll determine whether it becomes a "TAI,"

And that's going well?

And that's gonna mean a lot of supplies.

And that's how they get paid,

And that's something I live by.

And that's the end of the discussion

And that's why Abbott will always stay in my heart.

And that's why I don't think

And that's why I, or more importantly, we...

And that's why you don't feed a bird any meat, kids,

And the and the whole reason that I'm here.

And the amount of prison beds they're supposed to build?

And the bell signals the end of the day.

And the better the results, the more funding we get,

And the hilarious thing about all this

And the kids absolutely love her.

And the kids would be devastated if we had to start over.

And the laces all tied up into a little bow?

And the most amazing teacher in this whole place

And the only time you reach out

And the only woman I ever been with...

And the pigs, they were mad 'cause we were throwing rocks

And the punk firefighters,

And the rug was Plan B?!

And the water shot back up in the air.

And the whole principal situation,

And their kitchen is across the street.

And then everything runs a little late.

And then I pulled out a dollar,

And then I'll do my thing in post.

And then I'll just keep doing what I have been doing,

And then I'll kick it to you for testing numbers.

And then it's a fire hazard, and then they shut it down.

And then right when my tomato stand takes off,

And then send him back to you, all right?

And then she can just read it?

And then the middle and..

And then they cheat on you with their thumb

And then we leave. There's nothing wrong with that.

And then what? We prepare them?

And then, with the art teacher,

And there's a little bit too much pee on it.

And there's nothing wrong with my stapler.

And they all have pensions now.

And they are distracted by this song.

And they better be real, 'cause I can tell

And they come out of the womb selling NFTs.

And they don't know the words and I'm very straight.

And they help you grow.

And they told me they don't do a foot facial

And they took all the talking kids, so now I have to talk

And this is my one chance to talk to her

And this kid Okay. She's asleep

And this tasty breakfast

And three quarters, yes

And to the Courtney for which it stands,

And told him everything that Ava has done today.

And uncover the metaphors hidden in the story

And using field trip money to put 26 inch rims

And we all know Barbara's

And we can just get more books. It's not hard.

And we had this amazing talk, and we're gonna work together,

And we just did a deal where if

And we need to do something about it. Okay?

And we need to get off this balloon.

And we should look out for our own

And we try to figure out who each secret belongs to.

And we were already late on rent once.

And we're in the clear.

And what do all those words have in common?

And what do you do on your cheat day?

And what school is that?

And what would you rather I do, Melissa?

And when it does, you don't wanna be the one

And when the bell rings, all that's left of you

And when they hatch, what do we get?

And where is everybody going?

And who cares if that's with Ava?

And who's doing it?

And why can't any of you stick it out

And why would we do that,

And woke up like, "Why do I look different?"

And yet, the day moves on.

And you ain't exactly known for keeping your composure.

And you are not ready

And you can handle the showmanship.

And you can't class up a rug

And you can't tell if it's playing

And you didn't want to listen

And you don't know what that feels like

And you don't know who you're messing with

And you get the idea.

And you guys can get pencils and hire aides

And you helped me realize that, so thank you.

And you know how much I love Philly.

And you know what? She's kind of like my mom.

And you parked in my understood spot

And you should look over your shoulder

And you signed off on it.

And you started, you know, seeing Nina or whatever?

And you still provide for hundreds of kids a day.

And you take away two of them,

And you will, of course, give it to me.

And you're a real person.

And you're gonna have a pretty cool teacher

And you're like that guy he stepped over once

And you're like, "That's good."

And Young Idris.

And, besides, aides cost money, and we don't have that.

And, by extension, us.

And, by the way, I lied.

And, Courtney, I will affirm you.

And, I don't know, there are a lot of schools there

And, like, excited to learn?

And, like, if you don't like it, just ask him to stop.

And, look, I don't want to force any decisions

And, most importantly,

And, Taylor, I don't know how long you're gonna be here,

And, uh, oh, you know Melissa, of course.

And, uh, some of them are pretty smart potatoes

And, um, he's a real extemporaneous thinker.

And, um, I just listened because I couldn't get in

And, um...

And, well, Robin Williams in Patch Adams

And, yet, Barb,

And, you know, Jacob will still teach.

And...

And... I don't know. Maybe he's right.

And... I just don't know

And... I love teaching.

And...change is good.

Andrew, apologize.

Another Ava super fan.

Another day in principal life.

Another fun day of step! (laughs)

Another one!

Any questions?

Anyone?

Anything for you, Mr. C!

Anyway, do you have a second

Anyway, hey, did you get my e mail

Anyway, Malcolm has a bright future.

Anyway, my friend Crystal is always bragging

Anyway, the problem is,

Anyways, here it is, all ready to serve.

Anyways, the point is these were built for comfort and speed.

Anyways, toilet paper's in the closet.

Apparently, it's illegal. (scoffs)

Apple juice? Really?

Are any turkeys pregnant?

Are invited to attend.

Are some of the most dedicated, hardworking,

Are there even any bunnies of color in it?

Are there even any vegetables in these meals?

Are these new?!

Are those jelly beans on your belt?

Are those the black and grey asymmetric midsoles?

Are we focusing on the task at hand?

Are we gonna have to spend time

Are we having a moment right now?

Are we sure Peter Rabbit is the way to go?

Are we talking, like, monarch butterfly?

Are you afraid, Ms. Teagues?

Are you at least having a good day at the zoo, Barb?

Are you excited for your inspiring lesson from Mr

Are you excited to show the school your skills?

Are you frickin' kidding me?

Are you going to flip it or ship it?

Are you gonna do anything about them?

Are you guys ready for the step show?

Are you having issues with Courtney?

Are you kidding me?

Are you ready to see your man?

Are you sure you wanna do this?

Are you sure you're not just trying

Are you the talent handler?

Aren't you going to lunch, Janine?

Aren't you like 25?

Aren't you my son's teacher?

Artistically so they can grow up and do that graffiti

As a heart attack.

As friends.

As if I would read a word of Huffington Post

As it is up to me.

As long as Ava's at Abbott and I'm the superintendent,

As more than just teachers but, like, friends.

As my only goal for awhile,

As that five year old bra you've got on right there

As the saying goes,

As this story about a rabbit who steals carrots

As to not single any one person out.

Ask you about a conversation I have to have later

Ask your mama, 'cause I don't take requests.

Asking a lot of questions, right?

At Abbott for F.A.D.E., Friends Against Drug Exposure.

At least you guys are on the same floor as the gym.

At one of those pivotal moments, and, uh...

At the after after party.

At the front desk with the earring in his cheek.

At the school board meeting.

At the speed of light.

At this school shouldn't be a bad thing.

At Uncle Bradley's Baked Beans.

Ava here yet?

Ava literally said she'll get us whatever we need.

Ava made..

AVA OVER P.A.: Principal A A Ava, son!

Ava will be Ava.

Ava, can someone from the city

Ava, I'm gonna need to see that file.

Ava, it is just a partial power outage.

Ava, no one's doing this to anyone.

Ava, no. Delete. Stop

Ava, that is my student. She should be at lunch.

Ava, this is not handled.

Ava, this is the grossest, most emotionally manipulative,

Ava, we need more discretionary funds

Ava, where are you going?

Ava, you know what?

AVA: 5 years old, reading at a 4th grade level?

AVA: Aw, man. Why am I not getting these videos?

AVA: Because you know what?

AVA: I'm coming for you!

AVA: Janine, come to my office

AVA: Janine, there can't be any mishaps.

AVA: Make way! Free loot coming through!

AVA: Morning, Abbott Elementarians!

AVA: No, not Khalil.

AVA: Now, she can act

AVA: Oh, there you are, Jacob.

AVA: Our test scores have been good.

AVA: Rush job. Can you believe this quality?

AVA: Sheena, remember what we talked about?

AVA: Tariq's been doing great.

AVA: That's a knot

AVA: Why you being all weird?

AVA: You don't need to thank me

Ava?

Aw, man, it's just Janine and Jacob.

Aw, man, Janine! What's her handle?

Aw, sweetheart, you don't have to thank me for that.

Aw.

Awesome! Can't wait!

Awkward interactions come with it,

Aww, you're so cute together

Aww!

Aww! Look at that

Babe, babe, task at hand.

Baby Sidney!

Baby, all through the night ♪

Baby, his name is Jacob. Jacob.

Bags all up under his eyes

Baked chips, classic chips, cupcakes, sour candy, granola,

Barbara is my mentor.

Barbara says she's doing well, but this program is really hard.

Barbara was right.

Barbara, can I borrow some gold stars?

Barbara, have some faith.

Barbara, have you ever been roasted by your students?

Barbara, look, I know you told me to let it go, but I couldn't

Barbara, thank you

Barbara, thank you for all your kindness

Barbara, this is great!

Barbara, you know what? Since so many of us need help,

Barbara, you're great, and most importantly,

BARBARA: (clears throat)

BARBARA: (laughs) JIM: Wouldn't want to see that

BARBARA: (sighs)

BARBARA: Go ahead.

BARBARA: Good afternoon, Abbott

BARBARA: Hey, Melissa.

BARBARA: Hmm!

BARBARA: Oh, no.

BARBARA: Oh. (chuckles)

BARBARA: Okay, so here's what I'm going to do.

BARBARA: Ooh. What's going on here?

BARBARA: The whole time, one guy?

Barbara?

Barbara. Who would have thought?

Barbara...

Barbara's gonna get everything she needs

Barbara's sitting on that fence

Based on what you've shown us so far,

Be like Ms. Howard, people

Because a "friend" friend would know.

Because as it says here,

Because at the end of the day,

Because Ava will find a way to bring them down.

Because Courtney decided to use permanent marker

Because I believed in you.

Because I can do that.

Because I don't have any lunch plans.

Because I feel like I should get that checked out.

Because I finally get what Barbara has been saying.

Because I know you didn't have lunch.

Because I think you're gifted.

Because I'd already caught on to all her little tricks.

Because I'm gonna make a video

Because if it isn't playing, you're gonna get bit?

Because if she wins, then Barbara's right.

Because it means I get to help her with something

Because it was a bit over the top

Because it worked for me,

Because it's a good question,

Because it's not as carefree as Friday and Saturday.

Because it's the opposite.

Because life is a joke, people.

Because music class will be going bye bye bye

Because nobody believed in her.

Because of me, when people say that their favorite director

Because policing in this country is so broken,

Because she promised she'll be here tonight,

Because she said they share the same soul.

Because that's when I get to come back here

Because the teachers that work there

Because the whole world revolves around you.

Because then they think we won't need the money.

Because then they think we're not capable of improvement.

Because then they'll revert back into a T. Rex.

Because they are covering underfunded, poorly managed

Because they do not have stuff

Because they don't look at us as teachers and students.

Because this is a decision for our principal.

Because we didn't have signed permission slips.

Because when you do, it just seems sad, desperate,

Because you are telling yourself you are not ready

Because you ate too many hard shell tacos?

Because you don't know who you're messing with

Because you got all the perks.

Because you really should not be in here

Because you were making the hits, but...

Because you're gonna break out in hives.

Because, Ava, that's my wife come to pick me up.

Because, Ava..

Because, ultimately, she just wants me to be someone like you.

Because, you know, if I have to go into that garden

Before I was in your class, everyone would have been like,

Before they move on to first grade

Before trying to flush.

Before we begin, I would like to detail all the ways

Before you take her into your class

Before you talk to Melissa

Begging for pencils.

Being a real person is more important than being cool.

Being able to spot ops runs in the family.

Being obsessed with another teacher, but I get it.

Being pretty darn good at our jobs.

Believe me, I tried.

Bermuda shorts, because your favorite

Besides, do you know how expensive those staplers are?

Best in the city. They bake it in an oven

Best pizza in Philly is from Federico's.

But I already know that I'm enough.

But I became a teacher

But I can tell that you're not by the way that you're gardening.

But I did it because I care about the kids in this school,

But I did try for many years.

But I didn't deserve that

But I didn't get the job because Ava...

But I do know that you all need to stop pretending

But I have read from this book so many times,

But I have ways of making people talk.

But I just feel like it doesn't have to be that way.

But I just need it to be a group effort.

But I just refilled my transit pass, and...

But I live in the present.

But I ran out of oats in my earthquake kit.

But I realized I couldn't be the best Jacob I could be.

But I realized something nothing matters.

But I still feel that if we nurture our most gifted minds

But I think I want to stay around and figure it out.

But I think there's a great lesson in this

But I think you're a conventional thinker.

But I wanted to get enough for the whole class

But I would love to show you around Philly.

But I, however, am young, sprightly,

But I'm done with all my work.

But I'm getting the hang of it.

But I'm gonna need complete creative control.

But I'm gonna try to be brave and stand up.

But I'm grateful for it, like how I'm grateful for you.

But I'm starting to get a little anxious.

But I'm telling you, I believe in her.

But if all of the children fail, it's on their teacher.

But if I hadn't, I wouldn't have met Zach.

But if that were the case,

But if you did want me to make that reservation at Burrata,

But if your presentation to the school board

But imagine what it'll be like

But it is a risk I'm glad I took

But it really isn't that big a change.

But it shouldn't matter what he thinks, right?

But it was all worth it to get here.

But it's not about me, 'cause if you don't respect me,

But look. You wanna do dinner tonight?

But me and my dawg here...

But money would still be nice, though.

But my favorite day of the week is Sunday.

But my point is, maybe I'm not a bad teacher

But my students do not need to feel less than

But no sooner had the man fitted it into his ax head

But not too good. (chuckles)

But now I see that you don't even care

But now that I'm informed, I can handle it.

But okay. Do what you want to do

But people in this community are busy working,

But Sahar really took me outside of my box, and,

But Sahar reminded me in a way

But seriously,

But she certainly isn't the worst.

But she is also right.

But she knew that. (chuckles) She knew that

But she seems really excited about this,

But she was right about the math

But she's been there every day, so...

But since it's not the one that you thought you wanted,

But someone has to do this.

But Sri Lanka, if you didn't know

But still, I'm sorry your art installation project

But still, we can't use the library

But teaching's the best job in the world.

But thanks to you, I'm out here securing.

But that's completely ignoring the history of the entire

But that's fine. I prefer July anyway

But that's not the entire story.

But that's still about drugs, so Uh oh.

But that's still not explaining the pants.

But that's what I do, Ms

But that's why I wanted you to wait

But that's why we have to let someone else have a turn.

But the kids have actually been really cool lately.

But the latest doohickey can be a helpful addition.

But the Philadelphia region continues to suffer

But the school does deserve to have this money.

But then he accidentally went on himself.

But then I think it's not high enough

But then this flying piece of garbage

But then you couldn't see anything,

But then, also, you don't want to show

But there is something I can do about Barbara and Taylor.

But there was an acronym I learned in the one I was in

But there's something about that Jim Gardner.

But these kids need to be in their seats by 8:00.

But these kids need to stay with you.

But they still are our heroes.

But they told me during Essence Fest

But they're doing a multimillion dollar renovation

But this is a caution sign.

But this is for the kids.

But this is the future.

But this superintendent is out to get me.

But this transfer kind of proves

But this year is gonna be different,

But to them, it might be an important question that,

But today is not that day.

But visual learning is so much better!

But was it a setup for something great?

But we did have a little bonding moment back there.

But we finally found someplace

But we just make do.

But we think it's bananas to make us write about

But we'll we'll figure out a place

But we're not like most people. We see subtext

But what are you afraid she's gonna end up like?

But what can I say?

But what you don't see is how I make sure

But when you said it was Joel, I remembered that his mother

But who needs the end of the movie?

But why didn't you tell me you had a boyfriend this whole time?

But with Black people on both sides,

But you and I both know this is gonna end,

But you can't take a punch in the face

But you come from a different generation,

But you don't do anything

But you got to use the foam, not the spray.

But you got too big for your britches

But you guys get along so well.

But you know if you got a problem,

But you know that better than anyone

But you know who will see it?

But you made the right choice here with Ava.

But you shoulda listened to me.

But you try floating pigs in a blanket

But you won't acknowledge the truth

But you're also here for work.

But you're more Internet y than I am, so...

But you've dated lots of other people?

But your time is up.

But, like, I don't know.

But, obviously, that isn't you.

Huh? Get out your books

Huh? What What do you mean by "huh"?

Huh.

Huh. What Yeah, what well intentioned idiot?

Huh. What thing?

Hurts my tummy. (chuckles)

I (sighs)

I I was shocked. Uh...

I I'm a just...

I Maybe this is it for me

I actually I stood outside

I actually am going to get to it,

I actually have somebody picking me up after school

I actually interviewed here and got it, but then

I actually know a great guy I want to set you up with.

I actually throw up all the time, so it's okay.

I actually, um, applied

I agree with Janine. I think they're so fun.

I ain't killing for any of ya. Except Barbara.

I almost threw him out.

I always feel better when I get my hair done.

I always keep it on my person.

I am all in.

I am always out of breath.

I am Barbara Howard,

I am excellent at explaining complicated ideas.

I am good at this job, and I know how to do it well,

I am just as disgusted as you all are.

I am kind of hungry.

I am mad. I'm really mad.

I am more than happy to give up some of my free time

I am more than happy, uh, to take some pointers.

I am really impressed.

I am so bored.

I am so excited that Barbara is so confused,

I am so happy that Kenny is fine

I am so s

I am so sorry that got so intense,

I am sure it's...great.

I am the person who disrespected Ava.

I am the second year vet. I figured I would, you know,

I am, uh, getting ready so that I don't have to stay ready.

I appreciate that. And it is great.

I asked Ava to make a video to promote your wishlist

I believe it was Brother Cornel West

I believe we go to the same church.

I bet no one's ever really tried to talk to her, you know?

I bet she ratting you out right now

I bet you love puzzles as much as I do

I bet you'd like some juice.

I bought a ton of zucchini

I bought some pre sprouted plants

I bought them

I brought you some lasagna as a peace offering.

I called Chicken for snakes

I called my friend Sahar

I can already see him at the White House,

I can catch one of 'em.

I can do that later.

I can get this job done

I can get you a lot of views,

I can hardly read this.

I can help them fix things.

I can help you make your video.

I can make changes.

I can take a punch in the face

I can tell that you've been waiting to say that all week.

I can tell you, when I was at the Olympic Village...

I can't be serving food y'all made at home.

I can't believe Barbara lied to me.

I can't believe Jacob didn't tell me about Zach.

I can't believe the video worked.

I can't believe this is what they're serving the children

I can't really hear anything.

I can't wait to get on that level.

I can't, because you changed the routine.

I can't, um...

I cannot believe I lost him.

I cannot believe that I let myself get carried away.

I cannot believe that I'm about ready to say this, but,

I cannot get past a single lesson without an error message

I cannot stand gardening

I cannot wait to collaborate

I care about whether or not I can make a change.

I carpool with Janine occasionally

I caught him with the Deaconess. That's how I got this job.

I could be like Charles Xavier with legs,

I could do a 21 Jump Street kind of thing.

I could do that for the three of us.

I could get my Joe Chestnut on,

I could make more working the street easy.

I could use a little bit more help than that, Jacob.

I couldn't just sit there and watch that.

I decided to be adventurous and wear sneakers today.

I decorated my room. You wanna come see?

I did everything right,

I did it to the tune of "Black and Yellow."

I did not mean to say

I did not.

I did private investigator work back in the day.

I did try to warn you, ya gabbadost,

I did. Devin said they didn't have time to do it, so I did it.

I didn't even say a date yet.

I didn't exactly "fill out" the paperwork

I didn't get into the gifted program

I didn't know that

I didn't volunteer.

I didn't want to jinx it by telling you, but...

I didn't.

I do good voices, huh? (chuckles)

I do my work, I go home.

I do not know that woman's name

I don't ask questions.

I don't care what people say.

I don't drink it, but I do love the commercials.

I don't even know how to DJ, so...

I don't even wake up till, like, noon o'clock in the morning.

I don't get this.

I don't have enough juice to manipulate

I don't know

I don't know something happened.

I don't know anything about stress.

I don't know how to roast

I don't know nothing about this

I don't know what Danny puts in that chicken, but it woks.

I don't know what I mean, Janine.

I don't know what NFT means, either.

I don't know what that is. Here.

I don't know what that means

I don't know what that means, and I need help.

I don't know what to say

I don't know what you're talking about.

I don't know why I said that

I don't know why more people aren't.

I don't know why people act like it's hard to watch kids, anyway.

I don't know, but I'm not gonna push it.

I don't know, maybe this is just, like, that moment

I don't know.

I don't know. Do you?

I don't know. I mean, New York is really far.

I don't know. Just some stuff at home, I think

I don't like potatoes

I don't like to waste food.

I don't need all them bills coming

I don't not want to do your project

I don't really like to read the file

I don't really mess with gym teachers

I don't think a single seed would have survived.

I don't think I'll need anything from Ava ever again.

I don't think I've ever seen him experience...joy before.

I don't think it's worth it

I don't think so.

I don't think so. (chuckles)

I don't think that's fair. She's been doing the work.

I don't think this is what the school board is looking for.

I don't think Will is ready to read just yet,

I don't think you'd like what's going on in that room.

I don't usually explain my art to other people,

I don't wanna lose it.

I don't want him to fall behind

I don't want that, but that's as much up to you

I don't want to compare, but, like...

I don't want to get my hopes up.

I don't want to go to school.

I don't want to move to New York.

I don't want to ruin what we have by, like,

I don't want to wait for someone to get to it.

I don't want to walk down the hallway, Ms. Janine.

I e mailed the superintendent to tell him

I even asked the pizzaiolo to make it extra crunchy and wet.

I explained it all in my e mail.

I FaceTimed my own iPad from my phone

I feel like a better communicator.

I feel like a blend of Robin Williams in Dead Poets Society

I feel like I'm one wobble away from death.

I feel like you went to the plastic surgeon for a nose job

I finally feel on top of things.

I fit in somewhere being myself.

I fold.

I followed how they make the Pixar movies

I forget that Black people can also be annoying.

I forgot this is your first Open House.

I found a connection at the school board.

I found him hiding inside a trash bag.

I found shoe prints on my desks.

I found some shoe prints on my desks, too.

I found someone to teach the gifted program.

I found the seventh and eighth snake, okay?

I gambled away my house, my car,

I gave all mine out this morning

I get it

I get my nails done every week.

I get options

I get they're bad for the environment,

I get to do Mr. Johnson's Day Off.

I get you

I go to the same church as the Superintendent.

I got a good feeling about this.

I got a guy for everything

I got a kid in my class bartering Happy Meals

I got a package for a Barbara Howard

I got all the time in the world.

I got it from Old Navy.

I got it the first time.

I got my Master's in Educational Leadership,

I got out all the old cords from the computer room.

I got plenty of classroom supply plugs

I got some free chaperones so that I could save money

I got the limited edition Smokey Foams and a man that day.

I got the tacos! Now, who got the tea?

I got to write my own musical rap parody about Monsanto.

I got you a clam chowder

I gotta go talk to a child about a little thing.

I guess technically Janine succeeded

I guess what I'm saying...

I guess.

I had a hard time making friends back then

I had an ex back home that I was certain I would be with forever.

I had to go, and the toilets don't work.

I hate gardening so much.

I hate you more

I have a lot of kids in my class,

I have been looking forward to seeing you all day.

I have been through this many times before.

I have enlisted the help of one of Abbott Elementary's finest.

I have no doubt that you're gonna have

I have no idea why you were friends with her to begin with.

I have shapes to grade.

I have them arranged by sexiest dad

I haven't even gotten past teaching the kids my name,

I haven't spoken to my blackmailer in two years.

I haven't used capital letters in years.

I haven't watched Love After Lockup in like a month.

I heard about Tariq's new gig.

I heard it's going viral.

I heard Miss Cooper is dating Mr. Peace and Coach Wilson.

I heard people booing New York, and my instinct just kicked in.

I heard there's a bet going

I hope there's a section in there

I hope today shimmers for you.

I hugged you, but...

I I didn't see your class at morning recess.

I I don't... (sighs)

I I got I got a conflict.

I I just don't like pizza!

I I still think there's a way to make...

I I want to do a quick shout out.

I I'm still getting to know him, I guess.

I imagine he does. You have a good day, now.

I interned at the Baltimore School Board for two summers.

I invited her to keep me company.

I Is that European, or...?

I It's Styrofoam

I just I thought that, you know...

I just You know, Janine and I were talking earlier today

I just can't use that program

I just don't understand the concept

I just don't want to compromise my morals to get it.

I just figured, why spend my time trying to decorate a class

I just got a C minus review,

I just got an e mail from F.A.D.E. headquarters.

I just have the same four cards.

I just lift this up here,

I just think the kids are gonna miss the end of the movie

I just think we should spend the time

I just thought if I could get up here and get this done,

I just wanted to say sorry for what I said back there.

I just wanted to say that I'm sorry.

I keep my kids engaged

I knew he wasn't my dawg.

I knew it when I got here.

I knew it.

I knew that chip metaphor would work

I know a guy right now working the stadium build

I know a guy who was actually a captain back in the day.

I know a guy who worked a Walmart demolition

I know about every Internet trend.

I know because I have the same salary as you

I know her.

I know how to teach these kids how to read

I know how you feel about Ava

I know I keep saying that, but it keeps being true.

I know I need that time.

I know it isn't easy to coach someone

I know music class is fun,

I know some guys that were part of that.

I know that if this feels like you,

I know that when you tie your classmates' shoelaces together

I know that you have a very important conversation

I know that's right! Why is it February

I know we need the money.

I know what a zucchini is, man

I know what's going on, and it's bad.

I know you can, girl

I know you didn't pull me out of class

I know you have ethical objections to,

I know you talked to Ava, so this is awkward

I know you're more experienced than I am,

I know you're trying to help, but I'm I'm not you

I know your class is short on resources.

I know your plan. Move it along.

I know, right?

I know, Tariq.

I know.

I know. He can get a little obsessive, but...

I know. I was waiting for, "Nice sweater.

I know. I'm sorry. Okay.

I know. That's why I'm sitting here.

I learned so much, and those experiences were priceless.

I leave that to people like you.

I let my ego get in the way of the step class, so...

I like it. I just I'm not sure

I like Principal Coleman. She's like a big kid.

I like the news, because that's when I can say

I like this. It feels better.

I like to get to know the child

I like to read the news.

I like you better when you're stoic.

I look different in my after work clothes.

I lost a kidney.

I lost Kenny. I lost a kid. I'm negligent.

I love a good step show.

I love field trips.

I love how you guys will just, like, park anywhere.

I love it

I love it!

I love PIE.

I love you, and I am proud of you,

I loved the gifted program I was in growing up.

I made some dumb assumptions about you, about South Philly.

I made this for you, Mr. Eddie

I made this mess, and I need to fix this.

I make most electrical things work

I mean "good morning." I know you told me

I mean, (clears throat) good job, Ava.

I mean, a child was harmed.

I mean, am I even a Sagittarius?

I mean, being her friend is so exciting

I mean, he's great,

I mean, I have so many questions, okay?

I mean, I have yet to see the program

I mean, I know, but I'm hungry.

I mean, I need something for the kids in my class to do

I mean, I reached out to the organization,

I mean, I really hope you don't carry that with you,

I mean, I tried for the principal job, and for what?

I mean, I will get revenge on you,

I mean, I'm surprised,

I mean, it can be stressful, but

I mean, it's her project

I mean, it's up to you.

I mean, look, if everyone's into it, then great

I mean, maybe it's just time for you guys to admit

I mean, old and dignified.

I mean, one of them's gotta fit this thing.

I mean, our kids are gonna be reading

I mean, our kids respect us too much.

I mean, say they fire Ava. Then what?

I mean, she did try to get the kids into Akon's cryptocurrency,

I mean, that's usually when you visit, right?

I mean, the staff here is incredible.

I mean, this is a perfectly good..

I mean, we're just going to IKEA

I mean, what's the point of anything, really?

I mean, which programs go? Which ones stay?

I mean, why even sit up straight, you know?

I mean, yeah, at least for, like, the next year, right?

I mean, you can't really beat them at their own game.

I mean, you have been the greatest

I missed a lot of paperwork during that month

I need her help every day,

I need some bananas in the greenroom.

I need to right my wrong

I need y'all to pay close attention, Abbott Elementary.

I need you to check the buses thoroughly,

I needed a job.

I never counted you in

I never heard of it.

I never would have found out the stuff that I love.

I obviously could not afford to buy the books myself,

I offered it to you yesterday. Just go in the office and look.

I once even rode in a Tesla.

I once was lost... ♪

I own and operate a vending machine business

I paid it dust.

I pay taxes. I ain't gotta eat no sandwich.

I prefer "heroes."

I probably don't have time for it.

I pulled a Janine.

I put it on your list

I realized her grades have never dropped

I realized I outgrew him.

I really can't imagine not being at Abbott.

I really don't like sweet potatoes

I really felt like I was bonding with these kids

I really look up to them all.

I really thought that they looked at us

I remember the first time I had clam chowder.

I represent a global brand. We promote friendship and fun

I ruined it, but it happened.

I said you're on your way

I saw a NowThis video about some teachers in Kentucky

I saw it in your birth certificate collage!

I saw Jim Gardner once, at the Chipotle.

I saw your little e mail.

I say, "Janine, she's just a person like you "

I see a cleaning genius.

I see a little bit of me in you."

I see you. Don't look at me like that.

I shook mine out, and all of the asthma kids

I shook someone down for us, ya big gabootz.

I should have gotten that video before Mr. Johnson.

I should pursue that more, like cartoons or something

I sold out the King's Lounge.

I sold the art installation

I somehow lost my crypto wallet. (chuckles)

I spent every single summer "vacation"

I started rapping when I was scared. I was like...

I still didn't get my answer. 13 minus 6?

I still have, uh, 13 more slides.

I still say this ends up

I studied for it. I majored in it.

I switched to an herbal vape

I talked to my office, and I have good news.

I thi I think we've seen all we need to see here today.

I think I know the history of the lesson.

I think I might know something we can use instead.

I think I'll be okay.

I think I'm really busy these days

I think I've seen you around.

I think if I was a young person who was interested in desking,

I think it looks good

I think it looks good, too.

I think it's "wired differently," but..

I think it's going w

I think it's probably going well.

I think maybe some positions might be opening up,

I think maybe we should alert the school district to this.

I think some of the kids who aren't in the gifted program

I think the job means trying to make things better.

I think the what is more important than the how here.

I think we have finally earned their enthusiasm and respect.

I think we have this opportunity

I think we should get rid of the gifted program

I think we should take a break.

I think you mean Pandora's box

I think. It's time. For you.

I think...

I thought Barbara bet against me, but she didn't

I thought I was going crazy.

I thought I was gon' lose my job again. (chuckles)

I thought I'd mainly be showing Pixar movies

I thought one of my colleagues here hired a stripper for me.

I thought so, yeah.

I thought we could have a space for veggies

I thought we were friends.

I thought you had to bring way more to the table

I thought you knew. I mean, I could've swore I told you.

I thought you liked the gifted program,

I thought you'd be working on your next miracle

I threatened a grandfather once.

I told her we're work friends, and now she's doing this.

I told him to sleep at his desk,

I told you all this many times

I took it upon myself to drive two hours to Baltimore

I took toll roads.

I trained to be a principal.

I understand.

I used to do this thing with my mom

I usually gotta show feet to go this viral

I wanna do it!

I wanna finish this before the kids get here at 7:30

I want the little part that gets in between the bones

I want to get chickens for my class,

I want to teach them about their reproductive systems

I want y'all to take turns and have fun.

I want you to go and be your wonderful self

I wanted so much when I was your age,

I wanted to get your expert, classy eye

I wanted to talk to you about New York.

I wanted to teach Barbara something so bad

I was

I was I was scared, honestly. I was very scared.

I was You was up in the sky.

I was a kid once.

I was asking Sydnee

I was being pushed out to sea.

I was called, I answered, and now I know,

I was clipped by a delirious jogger.

I was condescending. Basically, I was a jerk.

I was doing Teachers Without Borders,

I was gonna ask Janine, but she seems busy.

I was gonna text you, but then I didn't

I was gonna use it in June

I was gonna wait for my boyfriend

I was handling it the best way I could.

I was in one, too. Yeah.

I was in the gifted program, too.

I was just telling them about when I was on 106 & Park.

I was just thinking, um...

I was like, "I hope he asks about Target and whatnot,"

I was looking for the kid while I was getting it.

I was my sorority's Step Master!

I was saying you are a, uh

I was shopping on Canal Street, and I see this huge rat.

I was visited by an Earth goddess

I was, like, obsessed with her.

I was, uh... keeping 'em safe for you.

I went from having one teacher to two

I will desk the Abbott Elementary Gym.

I will expect some non brassiere money from you by tomorrow

I will find another use for you

I will get him changed

I will. And And thank you.

I wish I could just read something,

I wish I could've gotten one from my mom or even Barbara.

I wish my ex husband could ever admit that much.

I won't quit. I love this job

I wonder how Melissa's doing

I wonder if she tried counting. (chuckles)

I worked as a pipe fitter,

I would have thought you would have retired by now!

I would love to till the fertile soil

I wouldn't have gotten defensive

I wouldn't have to weigh in on yours.

I wouldn't say all the time.

I wouldn't want you involved in any of my immoral activities.

I write, I edit, I direct, I do the music, I lip sync.

I, um I I got a whole tub of licorice.

I, um... I can't open the door or they'll escape.

I...I think I thought

I'd like that.

I'd love to meet him one day.

I'd make that bet 10 times out of 10.

I'd say the main problem in this school district is,

I'll be back after I finish my exciting blue slushy.

I'll be back! She'll be okay!

I'll be home around 10. I'll bring you Bahama Breeze.

I'll be home kinda late tonight 'cause I got a show.

I'll be like, um, that guy in that movie.

I'll be right back

I'll bring him around.

I'll bring him at 8:00 from now on

I'll even take powdered creamer.

I'll get a glass.

I'll get to it.

I'll get to it. I promise, baby.

I'll handle the attendance graph,

I'll input whatever information I need to into that program,

I'll make love to you ♪

I'll see what I can do

I'll, um I'll think about that

I'm a girl!

I'm a grown ass man!

I'm a rep for a high end alcohol company.

I'm a teacher at Abbott Elementary.

I'm a third grade teacher here at Marshall Elementary

I'm about to show y'all how I do.

I'm actually really good at poker.

I'm DJ'ing the Open House!

I'm done with the pencils, Ms. Teagues

I'm excited.

I'm figuring out where everything is,

I'm genuinely surprised to see you.

I'm glad I caught you before you left.

I'm glad you're teaching that to the kids.

I'm going out to lunch, too.

I'm going to continue teaching my students how to read

I'm gonna assume that's Barney.

I'm gonna be here for the next three hundred and six

I'm gonna go to the mall right after school

I'm gonna take you out for a night on the town

I'm her peer

I'm here now, Grandma.

I'm here to see you.

I'm hoping once they learn those things,

I'm hungry as hell, and although it is that hunger

I'm hungry now, so I should eat now, right?

I'm Janine. So, nice to meet you.

I'm jelly, you're peanut butter.

I'm joking

I'm just doing my job.

I'm just gonna go home and take a nap,

I'm just gonna have to communicate to Courtney

I'm just here for the camaraderie,

I'm just looking at teachers' wishlist videos from all over

I'm just really happy Vinny, the strike captain,

I'm just saying that there's more than one way to be gifted

I'm just saying, with your gifts,

I'm just saying, wouldn't have blessed a gay oven.

I'm just teaching the kids some sight words

I'm just waiting to hear back.

I'm just, again, really sorry for what I said.

I'm just... processing some things.

I'm kidding.

I'm kidding. She know I'm playin'.

I'm leaving.

I'm like the Allen Iverson of teachers,

I'm living it

I'm looking for Ms. Coleman.

I'm making it tonight at my cousin Annette's.

I'm Miss Tech, you know. I love tech.

I'm more of a Baltimore style pizza guy.

I'm not doing jail time for you.

I'm not gonna settle for less than that

I'm not shoplifting Plan B for you.

I'm not some nerd,

I'm not the principal, either.

I'm not used to playing in the mud.

I'm one of these great teachers.

I'm outnumbered in there. The kids are crazy.

I'm partial to Wine Down Wednesdays myself.

I'm probably the only one that can.

I'm proud to say I survived and now teach here today.

I'm really happy Gregory's opening up.

I'm really just here to see my mom.

I'm really looking forward to showing you our presentation.

I'm really, really good at deciphering this stuff,

I'm so glad they found that kid.

I'm so happy Barbara got everything she needs.

I'm some kind of, like, hipster poseur?

I'm sorry

I'm sorry for how I acted, uh, earlier.

I'm sorry, Ava.

I'm sorry, I'm rambling

I'm sorry, Janine, but that was actually very clever.

I'm sorry, you tired?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I just felt so bad

I'm sorry. It's not you.

I'm sorry. You're right. You're right

I'm starting to forget the words

I'm still getting used to the way the place works

I'm subbing here because I need a job

I'm sure he'll have no problem

I'm sure she is preparing,

I'm sure you'll figure it out, Janine

I'm sure.

I'm surprised you're not having any problems.

I'm Taylor.

I'm teaching a lesson on gravity.

I'm telling y'all, it was like Bring It On

I'm telling you, Twitch is more popular than TV

I'm the not principal of Abbott Elementary.

I'm the principal

I'm thinking about trying out a new recipe

I'm thinking what if I let you buy me dinner to go with it?

I'm thinking you, me, Dave & Buster's

I'm tryin' to go out this weekend.

I'm trying to teach my kindergartners the letter "C,"

I'mma thank myself by getting an accessory for this massage gun

I've already been hurt.

I've also listened to several podcasts.

I've been begging him to wear these.

I've been here a month.

I've been here a year and a half.

I've been teaching second grade

I've been trying to get you in this classroom all year.

I've been waiting for this my entire life.

I've done everything I possibly can

I've done more for this school in one year

I've enlisted two of Abbott's best teachers

I've got it, and I love it

I've got like four or five things

I've got something special in my classroom

I've never lived anywhere outside of Philly.

I've never really played.

I've never seen anything like it.

I've only been on vacation for a week.

I've read several books on the subject.

I've seen her push students out of the way during a fire drill.

I've spent my whole life avoiding those two things.

I've started a gifted custodian program.

If anybody hugs me, I'm turning down the grant.

If Barbara sees this, I am gonna have to quit,

If I have the energy for this anymore.

If I kept you out of my relationship business,

If I put on the right hat, I could pull off 13.

If I put you on too high a pedestal,

If I'd kept aiming for that one job

If it isn't the one who ran away

If not for me, Barbara Howard,

If some kid slips and falls on a desk.

If some SnackWell's could find their way back into Row E

If someone could please help me?

If that's a thing?

If there are 12 bikes and Riley buys 4,

If there's something I'm doing wrong

If they didn't, we wouldn't have respected them

If they don't get it answered, they can't focus.

If this was a small adult sneaker,

If we burn out, who's here for these kids?

If we don't end up leaving.

If we had a section for flowers, too

If we talk to the younger kids about the dangers of desking

If you can commit, then I'd be more than happy

If you don't make yourself relax, you will break.

If you don't respect where they're from

If you don't take the video down, I will quit

If you imply that I am insane?

If you know what I mean.

If you need anything, in case the Lord cheaps out.

If you really want to know, you should read her file

If you say so

If you think about it for a second,

If you think I'm good at this or not anymore.

If you think I'm some sort of Black Yoda...

If you were having trouble with it.

If you're interested

If you're interested...

In In a bowl you can eat.

In a creative way.

In a long line of people who do absolutely nothing.

In case Kenny goes airborne.

In case you ever go to Africa.

In fact, I've been praying that it wouldn't breach our walls.

In fact, the reason I'm here is to, you know,

In Louisville, Kentucky, and here are some of the things

In my class, we do silly voice time

In soil with a sub 6.3 pH

In the '60s, my grandfather started a landscaping business,

In the 1976 Olympics."

In the Dean Martin celebrity roasts

In the meantime, Mr. Johnson will be watching her class.

In the middle of a rushing river.

In the power dynamic where you're in charge.

In the presents. In the red suit.

In the tradition of playing the dozens

Indicates a swoosh and not the Jumpman logo

Interesting.

Interesting. What parts would you say you are good at?

Into the magical world of books,

Is Is that what you're gonna be performing later today?

Is Is the guy rich?

Is a lingering aroma of Shalimar.

Is a sign that they'll have your back out there.

Is a wonderful student and dancer,

Is acting out like that, you see it in their performance

Is an obvious choice for discretionary funds.

Is anybody else not enjoying the mouth feel of Federico's?

Is anything like that tour,

Is everything okay?

Is for good men to do nothing."

Is for her to fail and they get a new principal.

Is gonna get me to Mars

Is having access to the H.R. department.

Is he doing sit ups in there?

Is he in a bicycle gang?

Is he tall? Is he a cat person or a dog person?

Is it bananas you don't like food? Yes.

Is it how I'd do the job? No.

Is it nice to have stuff? Sure

Is it that bad?

Is it too late for me to get in on the action?

Is just a real full circle moment.

Is just stay calm and

Is like a thousand "no's" from anybody else

Is our own jobs, anyway.

Is out of jail so he can do this.

Is picking me up after school today

Is pregnant with twins. (silly laugh)

Is she a gym teacher?

Is she messing with you,

Is someone enthusiastic who has a lot of free time.

Is that a water ice?

Is that Ava lady, somebody else gotta be like, "Which one?"

Is that okay with you?

Is that so?

Is that what you're really doing?

Is that, since we're all weird, then none of us are.

Is that...

Is there a reason for this?

Is there a skunk around here? Because my eyes are watering.

Is this about the pizza?!

Is this because I won't extort a church member?

Is this really happening? (chuckles)

Is to come out here and visit with Duster,

Is to enjoy your free periods while you can.

Is when Melissa said you should put sugar on grits.

Is when she feels challenged

Is when you ask for a Disney+ login.

Is you should watch out

Is your grandmother okay?

Is Zach spelled with a "ck" or a "ch"

Isn't actually in the heart but in the brain?

Isn't Essence Fest just a weekend?

It it it's missing that that thing.

It all sounded so fun

It all started when I was watching Coach Carter

It also smokes

It can be daunting when a new technology is introduced

It can't be hard. It's just screwing in a few new bulbs.

It could.

It creates a pillow around the fetus

It delivers up to the minute data on their progress

It feels like it's for Ava.

It got way worse and oddly specific.

It increases the make and model options significantly.

It is a well made film, okay?

It is an "I have it under control" face

It is an anti drug and gang violence presentation

It is hard, actually.

It is not ideal, but it will work.

It is not your phone, Ava.

It is true. You wanted me to be someone

It isn't. I love Nina.

It just calms you down after wanting to take a wrench

It just didn't feel like me, you know?

It just needs a little showmanship.

It just said you were less experienced

It looked smaller in the pic.

It looks like you might need a new stapler?

It made me feel like school was only for kids

It means I'm no longer a newbie

It might, you know, call to me.

It not only helps in teaching students how to read,

It only takes 10 seconds, and it's so effective.

It protects it

It provided me structure,

It says "Chad's Mom."

It seems very outside of your skill set.

It should be about what makes me happy?

It should be someone who knows her better.

It stimulates the body and the mind.

It survives

It takes a couple times to get the wordplay.

It turns out one of our teachers is just too good!

It was a chance to support a strong Black woman.

It was a really good show. Very good.

It was an honest mistake."

It was beautiful.

It was called "Mo' Santo, Mo' Problems."

It was just a loose wire.

It was just gonna wind up like we did?

It was just something we threw together.

It was like I was saying, "I am getting too old."

It was like they walked into The Haunted Mansion at Disney,

It wasn't a hard decision to stay here.

It wasn't about you. It was about me.

It wasn't even that bad

It won't happen again

It would look much better on me.

It'd be easy to just give up and not have a gifted program,

It'll be fun! Let's start with Janine.

It's Yeah.

It's 8:30, so, no, sorry, you missed it.

It's a comment about helping the poor and sad

It's a foot facial.

It's a helpful teaching tool, because these kids use these

It's a lizard that arrived here at the zoo

It's a necessary evil.

It's a new online challenge

It's a really big conversation.

It's a simple, fun game where we write down a little fact

It's a story about domesticity and capitalism

It's a trick how they make you cry, but it works

It's a zucchini

It's about respect

It's actually pronounced "Zach." You must be Ava.

It's actually very nice, now that I look at it.

It's all good. That's in the past

It's also called roasting

It's also gonna count towards his community service.

It's barely wet

It's been a long year with lots of ups and downs,

It's been going great.

It's bigger than you can imagine.

It's breathtaking!

It's called "Pony," y'all!

It's called trash

It's clean. I like clean

It's come to my attention that some of you one of you

It's crazy to think that I, Tariq Temple,

It's decent, but it's not as good as Dough Nuts. Sorry.

It's done for a reason.

It's easy as one, two, three, so thank you, from me.

It's everything we've been working for.

It's five minutes

It's going to, you know, break through the noise.

It's gonna be fun!

It's gonna be great.

It's gonna get here right in time for the Open House.

It's gonna go right back to the lean years.

It's good to see you again.

It's got me even more confused

It's great for the kids, so we got everything we need

It's Gregory.

It's happening! (laughs)

It's happening! They're hatching!

It's hard for all of us, even the kids,

It's hard to get near a stove once you've been burned

It's hard to say.

It's irrelevant.

It's just It feels a little like

It's just a day in the life of being a teacher here.

It's just a lizard, Barb.

It's just been done.

It's just crazy.

It's just missing a certain warmth.

It's just that this time is a little different.

It's just that...

It's just your...

It's just, I had the whole, um, principal job

It's just, you know, the walls are the soul of the classroom

It's kind of hard to get over being blackmailed.

It's kinda nice

It's like "Back That Azz Up" for kids.

It's like a facial, but for your feet.

It's like a Xanax.

It's like desking Six Flags!

It's like my dad always said.

It's like our own little Pandora.

It's like reverse Good Will Hunting.

It's like the one thing you don't do.

It's like them challenging you to..

It's like, hey, just relax

It's like... What is that?

It's made in Philadelphia.

It's made out of the Peter Rabbit books.

It's me, Ava

It's more like a cooperative game that's all about

It's my job

It's my job to be here.

It's nice to know he has a teacher who cares.

It's nice to see another male teacher in here.

It's no men in uniforms,

It's not called Thursday Night Fever.

It's not even 8:00 in the morning, and you know

It's not fair that they have to be

It's not Janine

It's not just pizza.

It's not like we have nothing.

It's not my fault yous didn't want into the deal.

It's not my fault! I was born this way.

It's not that hard

It's not that I can't handle it.

It's not the weirdest thing I've found on my desks.

It's okay, Grandma. I'm here.

It's okay, Janine.

It's okay. Everyone pees, you know?

It's okay. I guess we don't have to like

It's on in some places and off in others.

It's only been a few seconds, so yeah, probably.

It's out of your control, oldhead.

It's pride, I think

It's raining harder than an Usher video!

It's really just "bad cop, bad cop."

It's really very easy

It's scary.

It's sitting in an account. We just can't touch it.

It's Smart Kids Time!

It's so crazy how my e mails

It's so fun.

It's so nice to meet you. You're so lucky.

It's sort of an elevated version of Melissa's idea.

It's the big art project of the second grade

It's the first thing I did that the kids really loved

It's three months early, but it's happening!

It's time for you to go with

It's trash.

It's unsanitary.

It's up to the eye of the beholder

It's very nice to meet you, Zach.

It's weird when you think about it

It's what I studied for.

It's where you belong.

It's, like, sopping. It's...mmm.

It's, like, two nickels' worth.

It's, um, really crunchy... and, like, wet.

It's... It's weird.

Italian?

Janine, when people get married, they try a lot of cakes.

Janine, why are you putting that rug away?

Janine, why do you have to make such a big moment

Janine, why don't you go handle this transfer

Janine, you did okay.

JANINE: Yeah, yeah, I know

JANINE: You have to find a way.

Nobody's stopping you from seeing the file.

None of these dinosaurs is actually real, you know,

Nope

Nope.

Normally, I do these standing up,

Normally, I encourage cheating, but, girl,

Not a compelling speaker. (laughs)

Not about what they don't

Not even including the five minutes you took

Not getting multiplication tables,

Not in the gifted program a little bit more attention,

Not just a specific classroom, right?

Not me, but I know a guy who knows a guy?

Not me.

Not necessarily me. Just a new one.

Not surprised. My cards are trash.

Not that I keep count. 27

Not that I think all black people are related.

Not that kind of secret, and we write it down.

Not there anymore. Gone

Not to elongate my vowels before we're in school.

Not what I came to talk about anyway

Not you, Carlton. I was asking Sahar.

Nothing

Nothing is going to get in my way.

Nothing.

Now, who wants to go on a real tour?!

Now, you know I used to date Allen Iverson.

O Oh, sorry.

Obviously, everyone's not okay.

Obviously, I have the smartest kids

Obviously. (chuckles)

Of a newly graduated DeVry student, but this is okay.

Of course

Of course here. Come on. Teach us something.

Of course I did. The zoo is a Mecca for single dads.

Of course I need to thank you!

Of course I was

Of multiple intelligences?

Of my cousin Rocco's hoagie shop, you would think

Of my favorite teacher from the third grade, Ms. Elliot.

Someone the kids will think is really lame.

Someone to talk about how the union worked together in peace?

Something about the correlation

Something I would never call you

Something that... starts a conversation

Something you think no one else knows.

Sometimes I forget why I got into this job,

Sometimes Robin has to look out for Batman

Sometimes the Lord gives a lot, and then sometimes, He does not.

Sometimes you need to unplug it, then plug it back in.

Sometimes you try something new

Somewhere between 1 and 40, the kids calm down

Somewhere I can take naps and watch Housewives.

Sorry, am I hearing, like, splashing or bubbles?

Sorry. (chuckles sadly)

Sorry. Yeah.

Sounds like regret.

They don't want to be sued

They got to bond.

They have been exactly where they should be

They have made fools of us.

They just don't make men like Sidney Poitier anymore

They like us so much,

They most certainly do not

They put this mushroom extract in the sauce

They said you'd do this. And I said no,

They say not to teach to the test,

They say the first 48 hours are the most important.

They say the first year of teaching is the hardest

They sell clam chowder at the zoo?

They want me to do a whole tour,

They went on a desking promotional tour.

They were They were in my bag.

They were in the wrong place.

They will if we make them.

They wouldn't give tests, would they?

They'll probably come in the summer.

They're they're like instant Xanax for kids.

They're all amazing teachers.

They're gonna pour our spirits on themselves.

They're just egg white bites. You microwave them.

They're just freakin' rocks, you know?

They're just like us doing the best with what they got

They're just, like, friends in one place.

They're seeing that chickens

They're things that can be worked on at home

They've been steady since the appeal

They've forgotten that we're authority figures.

This is like a group project at school

This is like BeyoncÃ© deleting "Lemonade

Took me a couple of months to figure out how to keep her

Top of the line. Enjoy.

Tour life. You feel me?

True, true

Trusting this one was a risk

Try to keep up. Hey!

Trying to buy one, and it'll all be over!

Trying to give y'all space to talk about

Tsk. Oh.

Turn Turn around.

Turn away turn away from it.

Turns out the software we've been using

Two of you take Stefon, the other two take Brianna.

Two, they respect me.

Typed it up myself, and I left it with the young man

Ugh

Ugh, God

Ugh, what are you talking about?

Ugh. Guess it just hurts that they didn't choose me.

Ugh. Teach the children to read with this?

Uh (clears throat) what's the problem?

Uh, all right, hey, guys,

Uh, all right.

Uh, as well as socialism and sexism.

Uh, Ava's just probably somewhere

Uh, but maybe another time.

Uh, come on, guys.

Uh, five things.

Uh, he is on his way.

Uh, hello, Mr. Iron

Uh, hopefully it's still cold!

Uh, I like to say I teach history,

Uh, I need an aide.

Uh, I think I'll pass on this one, thanks.

Uh, I thought breakfast was being provided

Uh, I was just kidding

Uh, I was trying to leave quietly without you seeing me,

Uh, incredibly dope?

Uh, it was mislabeled. Very tragic.

Uh, my gosh

Uh, no, actually, I probably shouldn't.

Uh, no. I'm gonna stay and help the lunch ladies with lunch.

Uh, no. No

Uh, no. No, no, no. We are a family.

Uh, no. She's not Janine

Uh, not not from there.

Uh, not quite. Try again

Uh, uh, Melina, from your class

Uh, why are we here, exactly?

Um, is there anything else we could call you?

Um, it's just that...

Um, Janine, I'd like you to meet my daughter.

Um, Joel Williams.

Um, look, we didn't get to discuss this last night

Um, the trick is if you see, like, a really big circle,

Um, there are some parts of the routine

Um, uh...

Um, um, yeah, I was I was trying to be helpful,

Um, we actually usually begin class by doing some stretches

Um, well, we thought instead of a few kids

Um, what was your favorite part of the show?

Um, you said that you would be at the Open House tonight,

Um, you're in a good mood.

Um...although I am flattered

Um...clear?

Um...hello?

Um...it was a pop up shop on 52nd Street

Um...it's 9:00.

Unattended like this, right?

Unexpected, but I am so happy

Unless you want to catch Superintendent Collins

Unless, you know, we're not there yet.

Unlike janitors and boyfriends.

Unlike when you called me a bad teacher,

Until I can become principal.

Until there are no more pop quizzes

Until this is all fixed.

Until this whole thing blows over

Up and at 'em.

Use a common number two pencil to prop up the shade...

Used those robotablets?

Using what held us back to propel us forward.

Vacation spot is Bermuda!

Very

Very good.

Was invented by the Pennsylvania Penal System

Was it hard to let go?

Was it some kind of big sister thing

Was to cuss out the mailman

Washed, grilled, ready to eat.

Wasn't that the whole plan?

Watch closely, everyone

Watch out, she will talk your ear off.

Watch this. Hey, when I move, you move.

Watching you snap into Super Barbara Mode,

Water all over my trash.

Way ahead of you.

We all are.

We all love each other, like one big, happy family.

We all understand who parks where,

We all worked very hard on our bunnies,

We always look at you like this.

We are We are friends in other places, actually.

We are about to hear from a heroic, upstanding

We are admin. We are social workers.

We are at a crossroads. This is a crisis.

We are going to blow your minds

We are good colleagues.

We are growing vegetables for the kids in our new garden

We are here to celebrate Barbara's genius kindergartners

We are just doing a ton of cool stuff all the time,

We are just leading the children into temptation, like Satan.

We are live at an inner city school

We are living in the middle of its disastrous effects.

We are not getting anything.

We are not in the mood for that.

We are so quick to throw things away,

We are stickers rich, y'all

We are therapists. We are second parents.

We are totally friends. You know that, right?

We are. Yeah, we're friends. We're just, you know...

We birthed this

We came in 3rd at trivia night last week over at Oscar's.

We can do fun stuff right here in our class

We can have Khalil read.

We can still do the performance.

We can take the video down now

We can talk logistics later

We can tell the school district.

We care so much, we refuse to burn out.

We consider all the intelligences they could have.

We could do something like that here, I bet

We could have got rugs, but then I thought,

We could save money!

We could, but there isn't much more to say

We couldn't calm her down and figured it would help her

We do not have time.

We don't have earthquakes.

We don't talk about real deep stuff.

We don't want to get sticky, do we?

We exchange some delightful repartee.

We get breakfast

We get everyone excited about learning.

We get in early just to watch it.

We got an extra pair of gloves if you want in

We got movement!

We got that F.A.D.E. money now, girl.

We gotta catch one of them in the act.

We had a lot of free time,

We had it on the board, so..

We have a burrito with light to smedium sour cream

We have a lot of smart kids here at Abbott.

We have fish oils or whatever.

We have some dinosaurs, kitty stickers, panda stickers

We have this little tradition where we read

We have to be able to do it all.

We just need to make sure all the kids

We just need to organize it better

We know we couldn't go to the zoo

We like to play this fun game called "call and no response."

We make do in my classroom, and my kids are just fine,

We might have one move left.

We need for our classroom

We need help. Look, I know we don't have any money

We need to find someone who knows

We need to go travel somewhere.

We never got to do fun stuff at my old school.

We realize how difficult

We realized the only thing that works

We saw your video, Mrs

We should be using people doing bad stuff

We should go to Burrata. I hear it's amazing.

We should have an assembly and have

We should teach that step class together.

We shuttin' this down. He gettin' too smart

We simply had a few questions.

We suddenly find ourselves worthy.

We used to have a gifted program, Lollipop Guild,

We want to elevate the project

We want to hear what "Michelle O" got to say

We went out to eat last week and I ate all his pizza crust.

We were eliminated on a technicality,

We were so worried about you. Are you all right?

We weren't waiting.

We will sit down together, maybe do a puzzle

We won the step show six years in a row.

We younger teachers are still getting the hang of it...

We, uh, clip old pictures out of magazines

We'll be having a trust workshop

We'll help.

We're actually too cool for school.

We're all superstars in this class.

We're all weirdos here.

We're already working on primary reading and math

We're barely getting by as is.

We're going about this all wrong.

We're going to love it, even if it scares us.

We're gonna be swimming in squash.

We're gonna do more math drills.

We're gonna do something super respectful

We're gonna figure this out, you guys.

We're gonna make this a group matter

We're gonna take quiet time a bit early, okay?

We're just going to get something to eat.

We're sharing with the goal of making us all better.

We're two of the three left.

We're under attack, and she's got her head buried in the sand.

We've been taking appetizer money

We've been together since bag lunches.

We've built bonds this year that are deeper than that.

We've got bigger fish to fry now.

We've made so much progress.

Welcome, Malcolm

Well, actually, I guess I just answered my own question.

Well, all right. So, I'm at a, um, construction site here.

Well, all the principals have to present their cases for funding

Well, as Melissa would say, snitches get stitches.

Well, Ava, this has been going on for three weeks,

Well, chocolate drop, I learned

Well, correct me if I'm wrong, but the boys and I are bonding

Well, don't say it like that, but I'll be there.

Well, everything,

Well, except ya boy. (chuckles)

Well, guess what

Well, how sweet

Well, I am really proud of you, baby.

Well, I can't find a brand name, but

Well, I did watch seven seasons of Survivor,

Well, I do not need some young Zuckerburn

Well, I e mailed the superintendent

Well, I feel like I do.

Well, I found Courtney's file, and it is substantial.

Well, I guess you never said you liked it

Well, I hear what you're saying, um, Amber

Well, I hope it works out.

Well, I hope you stay

Well, I look up to the older ones.

Well, I think he sounds like a really neat guy, right?

Well, I think it's a fine pizza, but it is nothing compared to

Well, I think the younger teachers are capable

Well, I thought we were friends in all places.

Well, I wasn't saying she was like a saint, saint.

Well, I would still like to go out for dinner,

Well, I wouldn't say that... to his face.

Well, I wouldn't want to cheat you out of a tour.

Well, I, for one, prefer the tried and true methods

Well, I'm adding a filter that's gonna rain glitter, so

Well, I'm excited.

Well, I'm gonna get this thing working

Well, I'm not a showman.

Well, I'm not on social media like that,

Well, I'm not so sure about that,

Well, I'm really sorry.

Well, I'm so excited to be here

Well, I'm sorry we can't all be Saint Barbara.

Well, I'm trying to move away from hierarchical leadership,

Well, if traditions were always easy,

Well, if we can't get aides, maybe we can get new rugs?

Well, if you saw how much stuff these teachers got,

Well, if you want to waste your time, fine by me.

Well, if you want...

Well, if you're gonna keep doing this job,

Well, it could be going better. Step was my thing in college!

Well, it looks like a classic Schemmenti good mood day.

Well, it sounds like they're really engaged, Ava's engaged.

Well, it's like a term of endearment,

Well, it's weird. You should get that checked out.

Well, it's what you started with

Well, Jacob is going to teach the gifted program

Well, let me tell you something about Gerald

Well, Lieutenant Colonel Martin Eddie

Well, look at you..

Well, look, you know, I tried to give the kids

Well, looks like Ava switched this day

Well, looks like I'm not eating today,

Well, looks like your work mom is free.

Well, maybe if you hadn't been making fun of me yesterday,

Well, maybe you can just give me a few tips.

Well, maybe you do.

Well, me and my family lived it, so I think we know the history.

Well, Melissa just got all those new copies

Well, more of a Buzz girl. I love his ambition.

Well, my suggestion to all of you

Well, nobody is jumping up on my desks,

Well, nosy, I start my shift at my job at 9:30,

Well, not anymore, actually.

Well, nothing's going on in my classroom.

Well, old school teaching is great,

Well, so what do you do, Taylor?

Well, sweetheart, it was so good to see you,

Well, thank you.

Well, that's complicated, but it's gon' mean so much

Well, that's great. Can I see?

Well, the power is not all out.

Well, the real cancer is ignorance

Well, the school district mandated it

Well, the school pays for the music class

Well, then count me in,

Well, then this is pointless.

Well, there's no words on it, but...it's going up!

Well, this dance is called "the vac it up."

Well, this is just such amazing news, Tariq. Wow.

Well, this is nothing we can't fix

Well, this should be interesting.

Well, try it this way

Well, we are work friends. What's the problem?

Well, we have been working on that routine

Well, we have that in common.

Well, we'll take that under consideration.

Well, we're going out tonight,

Well, welcome to teaching full time at Abbott, Mr. Eddie.

Well, well, well

Well, what are you gonna do?

Well, what if we were your assistants?

Well, while I have your attention,

Well, who says it's me? But no, just on.

Well, would you look at us?

Well, you are in luck, because we are swimmin' in Black kids

Well, you have fine taste, Mr. Hill

Well, you know what?

Well, you know, I thought it might also be nice

Well, you know, I'm gonna have a bunch of extra stuff,

Well, you know, it's a little break,

Well, you know, it's always been my thought

Well, you know, maybe one day, I will pack it in.

Well, you're also a principal, so...

Well, you're doing it well.

Well, your mom is amazing.

Well?

Well...yes.

Went bye bye bye like NSYNC.

Weren't you, like, just so afraid

Would it send my Nana Vincenze into a fit of depression?

Would you give that a rest? What do you want?

Would you just enjoy something?

Would you like one?

Would you like to be in my group today?

Y'all got any requests,

Y'all make sure you stretch out.

Y'all not about to rush me out of here

Yeah, 'cause it's very straightforward.

Yeah, 'cause you don't ever know what's gonna go down.

Yeah, Abbott is a special place.

Yeah, absolutely not.

Yeah, and I appreciate that.

Yeah, but I saw your kids

Yeah, but let's not rush out and make accusations.

Yeah, but this is my art.

Yeah, but those two things kinda go hand in hand

Yeah, but where do we sit for story time?

Yeah, but, no, I was just thinking, like, you'd get to it

Yeah, discretionary funds can be used to nurture students

Yeah, everything's fine.

Yeah, he got the gig totally on his own.

Yeah, he'll get 'em. I'm a Philly 11

Yeah, he's definitely besmirked.

Yeah, how'd that work out for you?

Yeah, I can see him running the bases.

Yeah, I can't hear anything, either.

Yeah, I do it annually.

Yeah, I got divorced and remarried to the Deaconess.

Yeah, I guess, like, thumbs up is kind of our thing now

Yeah, I I wanted to be just like her, actually.

Yeah, I just kinda stopped trying

Yeah, I just stopped by to see how Courtney's doing.

Yeah, I mean, that's how you got to do it.

Yeah, I meant emotionally.

Yeah, I still don't know what kind of teacher I want to be,

Yeah, I thought you were in charge.

Yeah, I totally I I'm really sorry

Yeah, I was just sending an e mail, but...

Yeah, I would hate for him

Yeah, I'm still, uh still finding that

Yeah, it definitely feels like...the ground floor.

Yeah, it isn't like you'd be moving to a new city

Yeah, it's cool.

Yeah, it's off in my room.

Yeah, it's really hard breaking into the industry right now.

Yeah, it's trash.

Yeah, it's weird

Yeah, man. I really wanted to be principal.

Yeah, mine's busted.

Yeah, my job is on the line.

Yeah, no

Yeah, no money.

Yeah, no, clean is good

Yeah, no, couldn't be clearer.

Yeah, see? He dabbled in Uno.

Yeah, she was afraid to come to school this morning.

Yeah, she'll be fine.

Yeah, she's up to something.

Yeah, some people forget the "ob."

Yeah, sure

Yeah, tech has its place

Yeah, that was disgusting, but she seems nice.

Yeah, that's a bean, but thank you for trying.

Yeah, there's gotta be some kind of catch.

Yeah, they got a problem with me not doing more of them.

Yeah, those aren't toys

Yeah, uh I was

Yeah, we met already, but nice to meet you, too

Yeah, we wouldn't want that.

Yeah, well,

Yeah, well, I mean, it could be really easy, though.

Yeah, well, if the superintendent

Yeah, well, it's a lot easier to say yes to things

Yeah, well, maybe this will be the year

Yeah, well, that's you, though. I don't get bad reviews

Yeah, whatever. Mr. J!

Yeah, yeah, no, I'm gonna have to run it back for you.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You're down one backup singer.

Yeah, yeah. I'm not sure how it relates, but

Yeah, yeah. No, that's okay. That's fine with me.

Yeah, you know, but th they're children.

You are officially Yoda with better edges.

You are on the Church Finance Committee, aren't you?

You are overreacting.

You are swimming in that sweater.

You are the child's teacher.

You build it before the water comes.

You can come hang with us

You can get out.

You can help us pick out a bed

You can leave it right... there

You can't give up on something just because it's easy

You can't just pump them full of burritos,

You can't really challenge someone to D&D

You can't support me.

You can't think of anyone other than yourself.

You can't. It's mathematically impossible.

You clearly knew what you were doing,

You could be helping people.

You could talk to your student's parent right now.

You deserve a chance at something better

You deserve it

You did a real...

You did the right thing kicking that wannabe Zoe Kravitz

You did this.

You did, Gregory, because I went to the farmers' market.

You didn't think we would give up that easy, did you?

You do know that that's coming out of all the speakers,

You do know that this happens after school?

You do not hit a kid.

You do not want to owe me money

You do? 'Cause I always felt we had a lot in common.

You don't even look like Jill Scott.

You don't have a lawyer, do you?

You don't have it.

You don't have to go to college to be successful

You don't have to treat me like a kid.

You don't know what it is yet.

You don't look like you can, but I could be wrong.

You don't need to "just say" that, Mom.

You don't say "pull" when you open a door

You don't think I would've tried that, Geek Squad?

You don't think it kills us to see those faces in the morning?

You don't want to be the third wheel.

You don't want to over water that one

You don't want to stop running,

You have only dated one man your entire life?

You have really good taste.

You heard Barbara. Y'all are embarrassing.

You heard her. Let's go.

You holding out on me?

You interviewed for this job?

You just did

You just don't kick a kid.

You just kind of have to take what people give you, like..

You kidding me? (chuckles)

You knew they were gonna do that.

You know how I can carry on

You know how like in Avatar when...

You know how much I love my job,

You know how sometimes when you're being chased by a dog

You know how to get me fired up

You know how when a butterfly comes out of its cocoon?

You know I can't just leave my classroom

You know I'm a feminist.

You know it! I got my favorite parking spot,

You know that man don't come out during the daytime.

You know the Lord works in mysterious ways,

You know what, Ava? Janine is a lot of things

You know what, Sahar? I think it will.

You know what?

You know what? Give it to me.

You know what? He is a good guy, and I love him.

You know what? Hell, I think we should still try for rugs

You know what? I bet you I can get a shoe print.

You know what? I don't care

You know what? I don't have to explain anything to y'all, okay?

You know what? I hate to say it,

You know what? I'm gonna do something.

You know what? I'm gonna go

You know what? I'm not even mad.

You know what? Never mind.

You know what? One second.

You know what? That's wonderful.

You know what? We should have a gifted program here.

You know what? Who cares?

You know who else could teach a first grader?

You know why? Most people love them

You know you have a presentation

You know, a little support

You know, a lot of people are slow to warm to Tariq,

You know, a...principal?

You know, actually wanting to help the children

You know, all I wanted was a place where,

You know, always looking for, or

You know, as a sub.

You know, Ava, I really wish you wouldn't talk

You know, Ava...

You know, before I taught here, I was in Zimbabwe

You know, chow down on some Nathan's.

You know, dinosaurs, they been extinct,

You know, doesn't that sound fun?

You know, down by Rittenhouse.

You know, every year, both our classes read Peter Rabbit,

You know, fix the outside, inside takes care of itself.

You know, from my apartment to the school...

You know, he's not wrong.

You know, he's...confident.

You know, I I've dabbled in Uno.

You know, I applied to Morehouse, so...

You know, I don't just eat Italian,

You know, I forgot for a second,

You know, I gotta tell you,

You know, I grew up with this stuff

You know, I have the brain that it takes to

You know, I I haven't I haven't gotten around to it yet.

You know, I I know that review hit you hard,

You know, I look forward to every Thursday,

You know, I thought it was so cool

You know, I'm actually teaching a lesson right now

You know, I'm glad she's in your class now

You know, I'm sorry I couldn't hire you as principal, but...

You know, I'm sure she's gonna do the same thing

You know, is this really a reflection of you?

You know, it was no one's fault.

You know, it's interesting that they say "good cop, bad cop,"

You know, just because one person or some people

You know, just today we were we were friends together,

You know, Kenny, I hear you're worried

You know, last time I was there,

You know, maybe help build upon what I already have?

You know, movies are all about the beginning

You know, Ms. Howard, you remind me so much

You know, my sorority sisters are always bragging

You know, Nina's a smart kid.

You know, normally, I'd be bothered by my kids

You know, om nom nom nom nom.

You know, one of the last things I get to do with my students

You know, our children have needs that deserve to be met.

You know, parents should be involved.

You know, seeing something way worse

You know, that I didn't have at home.

You know, that thing, where you look at something

You know, the fact that we are doing this well

You know, the kids really love

You know, the origin of sun hats is an interesting..

You know, there's actually

You know, they didn't see those kids' faces.

You know, they eat the hottest people first.

You know, this is my Kerri Strug moment.

You know, Thursday is low key the sexiest day of the week.

You know, usually when you quote stuff, it's annoying

You know, what was the point?

You know, when I was going through Part 2

You know, you don't build a dam

You know, you're competing with alien conspiracies

You know? It's like It's no big deal, though.

You know? Like coffee and creamer.

You know? She's good at it

You know. Whoo! (laughs)

You let them talk to you like that?

You like dancing?

You like women's tennis?

You liked the one that you were at,

You look a little thirsty.

You lose Barbara, you lose the war.

You loved Green Book?

You make me want to be a better teacher

You may just have to take the L on this one, man.

You mean a mural?

You mean JoJo Siwa?

You mean the aquarium?

You mean three time NBA champion Tyronn Lue?

You said you wanted eyes on it

You see a genius cleaning.

You see, Ava and I have placed a modest wager

You should be

You should be 'cause you need more men.

You should know that I love and support you as a friend.

You should make one of these videos.

You should probably just wait for somebody to get to it

You so smart

You spent all of the money on this?!

You stake out other classrooms?

You still working that stadium build?

You sure about that?

You taking the bar?
