1
00:00:04,546 --> 00:00:08,341
Yert! What it do, camera crew?
Welcome back to the house that Ava built.
2
00:00:08,341 --> 00:00:10,343
It's been a while.
Y'all ain't miss anything.
3
00:00:10,343 --> 00:00:14,097
Hey! Look who it is. What's it been,
like, five months? How you doin'?
4
00:00:14,597 --> 00:00:16,558
- Oh, what up? We still doin' this?
- Yeah.
5
00:00:16,558 --> 00:00:20,270
Oh, my God! You guys! Hey! Oh, sorry.
6
00:00:20,270 --> 00:00:24,190
Um, wow, you got new equipment. Look,
I don't wanna say I told you so, but I--
7
00:00:24,190 --> 00:00:26,985
I will. Y'all should've listened to Jacob
and made a right on 30th Street
8
00:00:26,985 --> 00:00:28,570
instead of a left that night.
9
00:00:28,570 --> 00:00:30,613
You want me to tell you
what happened to you?
10
00:00:31,322 --> 00:00:32,782
Oh, right. Tell the people.
11
00:00:32,782 --> 00:00:35,785
So, they got robbed because they thought
it'd be cute to walk around West Philly
12
00:00:35,785 --> 00:00:37,454
at night with all this camera equipment.
13
00:00:37,454 --> 00:00:39,581
Hell, I'd have helped rob you
if I was there.
14
00:00:39,581 --> 00:00:41,499
Anyway, here we are, five months later,
15
00:00:41,499 --> 00:00:43,752
because that's how long it takes
for three people with art degrees
16
00:00:43,752 --> 00:00:45,420
to save up for new cameras.
17
00:00:45,420 --> 00:00:48,798
Welcome back!
It's Career Day today, unfortunately.
18
00:00:52,844 --> 00:00:53,845
Mmm.
19
00:00:54,721 --> 00:00:56,014
Ava!
20
00:00:56,014 --> 00:00:57,974
Not planning on being conscious
for Career Day?
21
00:00:57,974 --> 00:01:00,727
This is a district initiative.
They can handle it.
22
00:01:00,727 --> 00:01:02,604
Anyone else feel like the people
from the district
23
00:01:02,604 --> 00:01:04,064
have been more annoying than usual?
24
00:01:04,064 --> 00:01:05,273
They're not all bad.
25
00:01:05,273 --> 00:01:06,983
I think they're cool.
26
00:01:06,983 --> 00:01:08,151
I actually like 'em this year.
27
00:01:08,151 --> 00:01:09,235
Shocking.
28
00:01:09,235 --> 00:01:10,195
I don't know.
29
00:01:10,195 --> 00:01:13,948
I feel like they've been unequivocally and
universally worse than they've ever been.
30
00:01:13,948 --> 00:01:16,117
From unhelpful to unbearable.
31
00:01:16,701 --> 00:01:18,536
Good morning, Abbott Elementary.
32
00:01:18,536 --> 00:01:20,830
- Morning.
-"Good morning, Abbott Elementary."
33
00:01:22,707 --> 00:01:25,502
So, yeah, I work
for the school district now.
34
00:01:25,502 --> 00:01:26,836
You guys missed a lot.
35
00:01:47,982 --> 00:01:49,234
Hey, guys. Hey.
36
00:01:49,234 --> 00:01:50,318
{\an8}Left or right?
37
00:01:50,318 --> 00:01:51,903
{\an8}Uh, left. Thank you.
38
00:01:51,903 --> 00:01:53,404
{\an8}Good choice. Good choice.
39
00:01:53,947 --> 00:01:56,991
{\an8}Girl, this Development Day
has me developing a migraine.
40
00:01:57,575 --> 00:01:59,327
{\an8}Let me have one of those aspirins, please.
41
00:01:59,828 --> 00:02:01,162
{\an8}It's a sleeping pill.
42
00:02:01,162 --> 00:02:04,457
{\an8}Wake me if there is a fire or tornado
or a volcanic eruption.
43
00:02:05,792 --> 00:02:08,628
{\an8}Good day to the fine teachers
of Abbott Elementary.
44
00:02:10,588 --> 00:02:11,631
{\an8}What?
45
00:02:11,631 --> 00:02:15,468
{\an8}No comment about Gregory
being F-O-I-N "foin"?
46
00:02:15,468 --> 00:02:18,138
{\an8}No, Ms. Schemmenti.
I was speaking to everyone.
47
00:02:18,763 --> 00:02:20,223
{\an8}But since all eyes are on him--
48
00:02:20,223 --> 00:02:23,393
{\an8}Uh, Mr. Eddie, would you mind reading
from the first paragraph
49
00:02:23,393 --> 00:02:26,020
{\an8}of your immaculately assembled binder?
50
00:02:26,729 --> 00:02:27,730
{\an8}Sexily?
51
00:02:28,481 --> 00:02:29,482
{\an8}Excuse me?
52
00:02:29,482 --> 00:02:33,528
{\an8}That is not only suggestive but highly
inappropriate in front of our company.
53
00:02:35,363 --> 00:02:38,074
{\an8}Uh, hi. Hi, everybody.
Uh, we're from the school district.
54
00:02:38,074 --> 00:02:42,495
{\an8}Uh, Principal Coleman invited us to come
observe and collaborate with you all
55
00:02:42,495 --> 00:02:44,164
{\an8}on this Development Day.
56
00:02:44,164 --> 00:02:47,792
{\an8}Yes. The importance of collaboration
is one of the many things I learned
57
00:02:47,792 --> 00:02:49,919
{\an8}while I was matriculating at Cambridge.
58
00:02:50,670 --> 00:02:52,755
{\an8}Yep, I went to Harvard this summer.
59
00:02:52,755 --> 00:02:55,967
{\an8}I sat right there on their campus,
and I used their free Wi-Fi
60
00:02:55,967 --> 00:02:58,469
{\an8}to get my degree
in education via Education Connection.
61
00:02:59,179 --> 00:03:02,348
{\an8}And I've learned what it actually takes
to do the job of a principal.
62
00:03:02,348 --> 00:03:05,560
{\an8}And... [laughs] ...turns out
I've been doing it all wrong.
63
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,020
{\an8}Somebody should have told me.
64
00:03:07,020 --> 00:03:10,899
{\an8}Anyway, uh, now I'm engaged and alert.
By the book.
65
00:03:11,608 --> 00:03:13,443
{\an8}Oh, yeah, I like books now.
66
00:03:13,443 --> 00:03:16,988
We're super excited to be here on behalf
of the new superintendent, John Reynolds.
67
00:03:16,988 --> 00:03:20,700
I'm Manny. That's my dream team
over there. That's Emily. That's Simon.
68
00:03:20,700 --> 00:03:23,745
And we don't come empty-handed.
We come with some iPads and smart boards
69
00:03:23,745 --> 00:03:25,955
for your classrooms loaded
with learning apps.
70
00:03:28,750 --> 00:03:30,543
New and improved models...
71
00:03:30,543 --> 00:03:32,170
Same old engines.
72
00:03:32,170 --> 00:03:35,006
These people aren't gonna change
a blessed thing
73
00:03:35,006 --> 00:03:37,008
except how many bodies are in the room.
74
00:03:37,008 --> 00:03:38,885
Thank you,
and we'll see you around.
75
00:03:38,885 --> 00:03:41,012
Thank you.
76
00:03:41,012 --> 00:03:45,016
{\an8}Gregory, we still need you to read
from section A, there, in your binder.
77
00:03:45,725 --> 00:03:46,726
Um...
78
00:03:47,810 --> 00:03:49,145
"Section A.
79
00:03:49,145 --> 00:03:50,480
Welcome back.
80
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,106
That concludes section A."
81
00:03:52,815 --> 00:03:54,776
Thank you, Mr. Eddie. You may be seated.
82
00:03:57,153 --> 00:03:59,906
"Ask the teachers if they have any ideas
from over the summer
83
00:03:59,906 --> 00:04:01,199
they'd like to implement.
84
00:04:01,199 --> 00:04:02,367
Try to make it fun."
85
00:04:04,786 --> 00:04:08,456
Does anyone have any ideas from over
the summer that they'd like to implement?
86
00:04:08,456 --> 00:04:09,540
Oh.
87
00:04:09,540 --> 00:04:13,628
Janine, one of our most--
teachers at Abbott.
88
00:04:13,628 --> 00:04:16,798
So I was thinking over the summer
while I was spending time with myself
89
00:04:16,798 --> 00:04:18,633
and thinking about
what really led me to this--
90
00:04:18,633 --> 00:04:20,885
Get to the point.
- Get to the point, Janine.
91
00:04:20,885 --> 00:04:23,554
Yes. So Career Day. I think we should do
Career Day at the school
92
00:04:23,554 --> 00:04:26,808
because I checked, and we haven't had one
since the only jobs for women
93
00:04:26,808 --> 00:04:28,935
were typists, moms and wet nurses.
94
00:04:28,935 --> 00:04:32,730
I think it'd be a great way for the kids
to see all the amazing jobs they can have.
95
00:04:32,730 --> 00:04:35,316
And that's it. That's my idea.
I'm done. Career Day.
96
00:04:35,316 --> 00:04:38,444
I could go into the plethora
of reasons that won't work.
97
00:04:38,444 --> 00:04:42,115
Scheduling, previous failed attempts,
the fact that it was your idea...
98
00:04:42,115 --> 00:04:43,199
Right. But there is a way--
99
00:04:43,199 --> 00:04:46,619
...but I'm just gonna go ahead and say
"no" and save you the embarrassment.
100
00:04:46,619 --> 00:04:48,496
You know, this is my fourth year
of teaching here,
101
00:04:48,496 --> 00:04:51,499
and I've wasted a lot of time trying
to fight the odds.
102
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,169
So I've just decided
to just be a good teacher, you know?
103
00:04:55,169 --> 00:04:57,922
Take a page out of Barbara's book,
just do what I can.
104
00:04:58,423 --> 00:04:59,757
And maybe start wearing pearls.
105
00:04:59,757 --> 00:05:03,261
Hey. Janine, right?
I'm Manny, which I said up there.
106
00:05:03,261 --> 00:05:04,971
- Mm-hmm.
- Um, I just wanted to say that, uh,
107
00:05:04,971 --> 00:05:06,848
Career Day sounded good. It's a good idea.
108
00:05:06,848 --> 00:05:08,766
I would love to hear more.
Thank you.
109
00:05:08,766 --> 00:05:11,853
- So, you guys are new at the district?
- Yep, just started over the summer.
110
00:05:11,853 --> 00:05:14,605
Loving it so far. Feel like we're gonna
make a lot of positive changes
111
00:05:14,605 --> 00:05:16,774
and do what
the last administration didn't.
112
00:05:16,774 --> 00:05:19,193
Nobody embezzling funds on my watch.
113
00:05:19,193 --> 00:05:21,779
Love that.
- Uh, hey.
114
00:05:21,779 --> 00:05:24,741
Uh, actually, one of the things we wanted
to do today was shadow a teacher.
115
00:05:24,741 --> 00:05:25,658
Can we shadow you?
116
00:05:25,658 --> 00:05:28,119
Yeah, sure. I'm just gonna be
settin' up my classroom.
117
00:05:28,119 --> 00:05:29,120
Exciting.
118
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,456
- It is exciting, so--
- Yeah.
119
00:05:31,456 --> 00:05:34,459
I'm just gonna grab my coworkers. They're
talking to Principal Coleman over there.
120
00:05:34,459 --> 00:05:37,337
You guys are so lucky.
You have such a good principal.
121
00:05:38,296 --> 00:05:39,464
Yes.
122
00:05:39,464 --> 00:05:42,300
A little early for this, no?
123
00:05:42,300 --> 00:05:46,554
For Christmas? Maybe. To watch you lift
heavy stuff in that shirt? Never.
124
00:05:46,554 --> 00:05:47,680
This thing?
125
00:05:48,431 --> 00:05:50,767
Well, it is husband material.
126
00:05:50,767 --> 00:05:53,478
Speaking of which,
did you hear about Mr. Morton?
127
00:05:53,478 --> 00:05:54,562
What?
128
00:05:54,562 --> 00:05:55,980
He eloped over the summer.
129
00:05:55,980 --> 00:05:58,191
Vegas?
- Hersheypark.
130
00:05:58,191 --> 00:05:59,609
- Classy.
- Mmm.
131
00:05:59,609 --> 00:06:02,695
Wow. You approve of that,
but I bring up marriage and I get a...
132
00:06:02,695 --> 00:06:04,322
Yeah, yeah. All right.
133
00:06:04,322 --> 00:06:06,741
You just concentrate on getting
that mini fridge next to an outlet.
134
00:06:06,741 --> 00:06:10,661
A boyfriend brings it in the room.
A husband sets it near an outlet.
135
00:06:10,661 --> 00:06:13,122
Well, a booty call will put it down
wherever I want him to,
136
00:06:13,122 --> 00:06:15,708
so don't make me go find one.
137
00:06:17,043 --> 00:06:19,712
So, where did you teach
before pivoting to the school district?
138
00:06:19,712 --> 00:06:22,590
I didn't, actually.
But I grew up here, though.
139
00:06:22,590 --> 00:06:25,885
My firsthand experience is more
from when I was a student in the area.
140
00:06:25,885 --> 00:06:26,969
Ah, all right.
141
00:06:27,595 --> 00:06:30,098
Well, you know, that's one of the reasons
I wanted to teach at Abbott,
142
00:06:30,098 --> 00:06:32,767
because I was a student
in the area as well, so--
143
00:06:32,767 --> 00:06:34,268
This is my room.
144
00:06:34,268 --> 00:06:35,353
What are you making here?
145
00:06:35,353 --> 00:06:38,731
Oh, a welcome back sign
for the kids.
146
00:06:38,731 --> 00:06:42,068
We're gonna decorate it together
so that everyone feels included.
147
00:06:42,068 --> 00:06:44,028
I try to implement a lot of color.
148
00:06:44,028 --> 00:06:46,572
Wanted to go with blue
because that inspires focus.
149
00:06:46,572 --> 00:06:49,075
And calm, which is so important
for primary classes.
150
00:06:49,075 --> 00:06:50,910
I read about that in Chalk Beat.
151
00:06:50,910 --> 00:06:52,662
- You read Chalk Beat?
- Mm-hmm.
152
00:06:52,662 --> 00:06:54,497
I basically live
in the comment section, so...
153
00:06:54,497 --> 00:06:56,707
Oh, my God. Are you @JTeagues215?
154
00:06:56,707 --> 00:07:00,795
Yes. And @JTeagues267
when I wanna spice up the discourse.
155
00:07:00,795 --> 00:07:03,506
Ms. Teagues, I'm @Mannyfromtheblock.
I'm always using this emoji.
156
00:07:03,506 --> 00:07:04,924
- That's you!
- That's me.
157
00:07:04,924 --> 00:07:07,093
- I love your comments.
- I love your comments.
158
00:07:08,010 --> 00:07:12,223
Anyway, I wanted to paint
the walls blue last year, but you guys--
159
00:07:12,223 --> 00:07:14,600
the district didn't like the idea
of painting walls, so...
160
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,936
What? Why not? That is so good.
161
00:07:16,936 --> 00:07:19,730
I think that's exactly an idea
that we could and should implement.
162
00:07:19,730 --> 00:07:22,024
It's a low-stakes,
high-reward improvement.
163
00:07:22,024 --> 00:07:23,443
Yes, let's revisit that.
164
00:07:26,070 --> 00:07:27,321
Are you okay?
Yeah.
165
00:07:27,321 --> 00:07:29,449
It's just a lot of positive reinforcement.
166
00:07:31,868 --> 00:07:33,202
Ava, I've already told you,
167
00:07:33,202 --> 00:07:36,414
I'm not interested in auditioning
for The Golden Bachelorette.
168
00:07:36,414 --> 00:07:38,958
Gerald is still very much alive.
169
00:07:38,958 --> 00:07:40,960
Actually, I'm here about your desks.
170
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:42,211
When I was at Harvard,
171
00:07:42,211 --> 00:07:45,423
I learned that communal seating is better
for kindergartners' development.
172
00:07:45,423 --> 00:07:47,758
Well, I like my desks separated.
173
00:07:47,758 --> 00:07:51,179
It's easier for me
to move about the cabin.
174
00:07:53,014 --> 00:07:55,183
"I'm little Jonathan,
and I never learned
175
00:07:55,183 --> 00:07:57,518
how to make direct
eye contact with anyone.
176
00:07:57,518 --> 00:08:01,689
And so now they call me Shifty-Eyed
Johnny, and I can't hold down a job."
177
00:08:01,689 --> 00:08:05,610
All right. I will take that
into account if I must.
178
00:08:05,610 --> 00:08:08,196
- You must. District mandate.
-"Mandate"?
179
00:08:08,196 --> 00:08:10,072
And cursive is no longer
in the curriculum.
180
00:08:16,245 --> 00:08:18,039
- Hey. Fancy meeting you here.
- Hey.
181
00:08:18,039 --> 00:08:19,665
Oh, I'm just bringing in the workbooks.
182
00:08:19,665 --> 00:08:22,460
Oh, there is a ten-for-ten sale
at Nichols School Supply by the way.
183
00:08:22,460 --> 00:08:24,545
Oh, [bleep] yeah.
184
00:08:24,545 --> 00:08:27,673
Trying out cursing. Still gettin' the hang
of it. How was Baltimore?
185
00:08:27,673 --> 00:08:29,467
Um, it was good. Yeah, it was good.
186
00:08:29,467 --> 00:08:31,177
I did a really cool job with my dad
187
00:08:31,177 --> 00:08:33,054
- working the grounds crew for the Orioles.
- Mm-hmm.
188
00:08:33,054 --> 00:08:35,640
I laid a patch of Kentucky bluegrass
right by home plate.
189
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,475
It was so flat!
190
00:08:38,267 --> 00:08:40,144
What did you do over the break?
191
00:08:40,144 --> 00:08:43,314
I just spent a lot of time with myself,
and it was good for me.
192
00:08:43,314 --> 00:08:47,068
I feel sure, centered, good.
193
00:08:47,068 --> 00:08:49,654
Oh, and Jacob, Erika and I
started going out to brunch together.
194
00:08:49,654 --> 00:08:51,531
We're calling ourselves
"The Brunchy Bunch."
195
00:08:51,531 --> 00:08:52,782
Why not just "The Brunch Bunch"?
196
00:08:53,407 --> 00:08:55,326
, that's good.
197
00:08:55,326 --> 00:08:57,578
- It's just not working for me, is it?
- Not quite there.
198
00:08:57,578 --> 00:08:59,830
Hey, teacher of the year Gregory Eddie.
199
00:08:59,830 --> 00:09:02,917
I heard about that garden you made
out front. Really cool, man.
200
00:09:02,917 --> 00:09:06,170
Oh, thanks. I like to do it, and it makes
the school and the street look good.
201
00:09:06,170 --> 00:09:07,255
Sure does.
202
00:09:07,255 --> 00:09:09,882
Uh, Ms. Teagues, could I speak
with you quick? One-on-one?
203
00:09:09,882 --> 00:09:11,008
Sorry to interrupt.
204
00:09:11,008 --> 00:09:13,761
No, all good. Yeah, sure.
And you can call me Janine.
205
00:09:13,761 --> 00:09:15,304
Okay. Janine.
Yeah.
206
00:09:15,304 --> 00:09:18,516
Uh, so I was talking with the others
from the school district.
207
00:09:18,516 --> 00:09:20,601
You seem to have a ton of great ideas.
208
00:09:20,601 --> 00:09:23,980
There's this fellowship-- uh,
the Robeson Fellowship-- at the district.
209
00:09:23,980 --> 00:09:26,524
We want somebody with in-field experience
210
00:09:26,524 --> 00:09:29,944
to come enhance what the district can do
to make schools as efficient as possible.
211
00:09:29,944 --> 00:09:31,612
That sounds like a great opportunity.
212
00:09:31,612 --> 00:09:33,197
Yeah, I can help you
find somebody for that.
213
00:09:33,197 --> 00:09:35,992
Well, no, I had you in mind for it.
214
00:09:35,992 --> 00:09:37,201
Oh...
215
00:09:37,201 --> 00:09:38,494
...I'm flattered.
216
00:09:38,494 --> 00:09:43,207
But, you know, the summer is when I get
a little bit of a break away from school.
217
00:09:43,207 --> 00:09:44,542
This would be during the school year.
218
00:09:44,542 --> 00:09:46,544
- But that's when I'm doing the schooling.
- Yes.
219
00:09:46,544 --> 00:09:48,212
Well, a sub would take over your class
220
00:09:48,212 --> 00:09:50,673
while you're with us for the duration
of the fellowship.
221
00:09:50,673 --> 00:09:52,800
S-- Sorry, but no.
222
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,344
I can't imagine being away
from my students.
223
00:09:55,344 --> 00:09:58,681
So, I'm flattered, but no, thank you.
224
00:09:59,307 --> 00:10:00,725
Okay.
All right.
225
00:10:03,102 --> 00:10:05,605
J-Just give it some thought, okay?
226
00:10:05,605 --> 00:10:08,983
You could help make some real change.
Painted walls are just the start.
227
00:10:14,530 --> 00:10:15,781
Feels forced.
228
00:10:17,241 --> 00:10:19,160
This-- This thing. Oh.
229
00:10:22,830 --> 00:10:25,291
Oh, Janine, check out this video
I'm gonna show the kids.
230
00:10:25,291 --> 00:10:28,085
Common doing a spoken-word poem
about the Korean War.
231
00:10:28,085 --> 00:10:30,046
Oh, that's not spoken word.
He's just rapping a cappella.
232
00:10:30,046 --> 00:10:31,172
Oh, tomato, tomato.
233
00:10:31,172 --> 00:10:33,674
Hey, what do you think
about these new district people?
234
00:10:33,674 --> 00:10:35,051
Oh, I like 'em.
235
00:10:35,051 --> 00:10:38,137
Ooh, I saw you talking
to that cute guy, Manny.
236
00:10:38,137 --> 00:10:39,221
What's his deal?
237
00:10:39,221 --> 00:10:41,641
I mean, he's no Gregory. My king. My guy.
238
00:10:41,641 --> 00:10:43,100
No. No, no, no. It wasn't like that.
239
00:10:43,100 --> 00:10:45,394
You know, he was just asking
me to do something,
240
00:10:45,394 --> 00:10:48,147
work at the district for a little while.
Something about a fellowship.
241
00:10:48,147 --> 00:10:51,942
Oh, my God. The Robeson Fellowship?
This is a huge deal, Janine.
242
00:10:51,942 --> 00:10:54,612
They asked you? Why didn't they ask me?
243
00:10:55,863 --> 00:10:57,698
Manny can sense my allegiance
to Gregory, I bet.
244
00:10:57,698 --> 00:10:59,909
- Jacob.
- You should do it, Janine.
245
00:10:59,909 --> 00:11:01,410
You can make a real difference.
246
00:11:01,410 --> 00:11:04,246
I can't be away from my classroom
for that long.
247
00:11:04,246 --> 00:11:05,998
I'm gonna cry just thinking about it.
248
00:11:07,333 --> 00:11:08,668
You actually are crying.
249
00:11:10,169 --> 00:11:13,547
Jacob, that is video contraband,
not allowed in this school.
250
00:11:13,547 --> 00:11:15,257
- What? Why?
- It's not curriculum.
251
00:11:15,257 --> 00:11:17,426
But our textbooks are so old, Ava.
252
00:11:17,426 --> 00:11:20,388
According to these books, we still
haven't even pulled out of Iraq yet.
253
00:11:20,388 --> 00:11:22,306
You know,
one of the first things I learned
254
00:11:22,306 --> 00:11:25,976
when I was physically located within the
legal property lines of Harvard is that
255
00:11:25,976 --> 00:11:28,354
teachers are required
to stick to curriculum
256
00:11:28,354 --> 00:11:30,690
for student safety and school protection.
257
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,568
Wait, that's my personal computer.
Y-You can't do that.
258
00:11:35,152 --> 00:11:36,153
Did it.
259
00:11:37,947 --> 00:11:39,865
Welcome back. First day of school.
260
00:11:39,865 --> 00:11:43,285
All right. Get in line, kids.
Single file line.
261
00:11:43,285 --> 00:11:45,621
Tuck them shirts in. No talkin'.
262
00:11:47,206 --> 00:11:48,541
Boy, you lucky.
263
00:11:48,541 --> 00:11:50,167
Last year's Ava would've roasted you
264
00:11:50,167 --> 00:11:53,170
for looking like Adam Sandler
at a pick-up game...
265
00:11:53,170 --> 00:11:55,589
...or Adam Sandler at a wedding.
266
00:11:55,589 --> 00:11:58,050
Adam Sandler at the Oscars.
267
00:11:58,050 --> 00:11:59,218
Now go to class.
268
00:12:00,261 --> 00:12:02,888
Good morning. Welcome, welcome.
269
00:12:02,888 --> 00:12:05,516
Welcome, you guys. All right.
270
00:12:08,018 --> 00:12:10,396
Hey. Hi. You wanna sit here?
271
00:12:11,021 --> 00:12:13,065
I don't bite. I'm Ms. Teagues.
What's your name?
272
00:12:13,065 --> 00:12:15,276
- Alex.
- Alex. Nice to meet you.
273
00:12:16,861 --> 00:12:21,282
All right. You guys, welcome
to second grade. You made it.
274
00:12:21,282 --> 00:12:23,033
Let me just say, it's really cool
275
00:12:23,033 --> 00:12:25,494
you guys get to be the first
to use our brand-new iPads.
276
00:12:25,494 --> 00:12:26,871
These are old.
277
00:12:26,871 --> 00:12:28,622
Brand-new iPads to us
278
00:12:28,622 --> 00:12:32,418
because Abbott Elementary is on
the forefront of cutting-edge technology.
279
00:12:32,418 --> 00:12:34,003
My iPad is dead.
280
00:12:34,003 --> 00:12:35,838
- Ours too!
- Ours too.
281
00:12:35,838 --> 00:12:39,175
Uh, okay. Um, all right. That's okay.
282
00:12:39,175 --> 00:12:41,510
How about we just have you guys share
with them over there?
283
00:12:41,510 --> 00:12:43,387
This one's on 7%.
284
00:12:44,680 --> 00:12:48,350
Um, all right. So--
We can just charge them while we work.
285
00:12:48,350 --> 00:12:49,435
Okay.
286
00:12:49,435 --> 00:12:54,064
And we only have two chargers.
287
00:12:54,774 --> 00:12:57,735
{\an8}Did you see the cherry Ring Pop Gary left
in the vending machine?
288
00:12:57,735 --> 00:12:59,820
Gosh. He is too much.
289
00:12:59,820 --> 00:13:01,864
Girl, he's sending you signals.
290
00:13:01,864 --> 00:13:03,157
He's just joking.
291
00:13:03,157 --> 00:13:05,826
You know how men joke
about that stuff all the time.
292
00:13:05,826 --> 00:13:06,911
No, I do not.
293
00:13:06,911 --> 00:13:10,206
I do not know of one man who would ask
his girlfriend's friend
294
00:13:10,206 --> 00:13:12,374
for her correct ring size as a joke.
295
00:13:12,374 --> 00:13:15,211
He's probably, like, getting me
a Super Bowl replica ring or something.
296
00:13:16,462 --> 00:13:20,007
Okay. Ava is literally gatekeeping
when I can use the garden.
297
00:13:20,007 --> 00:13:22,134
She put a padlock on my kumquats.
298
00:13:22,134 --> 00:13:25,888
She is making me rearrange
the seating in my classroom,
299
00:13:25,888 --> 00:13:29,850
throwing off decades
of good educational feng shui.
300
00:13:29,850 --> 00:13:31,560
{\an8}She made me replace my mop water,
301
00:13:31,560 --> 00:13:33,771
{\an8}but the best stuff
is like a sourdough starter.
302
00:13:33,771 --> 00:13:35,231
{\an8}The older it is, the better it gets.
303
00:13:35,231 --> 00:13:36,774
All right, l-let's relax.
304
00:13:36,774 --> 00:13:39,485
Ava is finally the principal
she is supposed to be.
305
00:13:39,485 --> 00:13:43,864
So, I say we give her a shot, just like we
give this new whole-grain tofu spot a shot
306
00:13:43,864 --> 00:13:45,950
for lunch today, because it's my pick.
307
00:13:45,950 --> 00:13:48,077
Who's ready to get "antioxidated"?
308
00:13:48,953 --> 00:13:51,497
Great news, everyone.
There are no more free periods.
309
00:13:51,497 --> 00:13:56,085
Instead, everyone will be volunteering
for lunch duty, hall monitoring,
310
00:13:56,085 --> 00:13:58,504
library management, et cetera,
at all times.
311
00:14:00,756 --> 00:14:03,133
Well, at least we can still
enjoy our lunches.
312
00:14:03,133 --> 00:14:06,512
Oh, and no more off-campus lunches.
It's against policy.
313
00:14:08,931 --> 00:14:10,140
She must be stopped.
314
00:14:11,433 --> 00:14:17,523
Yeah, the library to librarian ratio
is troubling, but nothing we can't fix.
315
00:14:17,523 --> 00:14:19,733
Listen. Speakin' of,
316
00:14:19,733 --> 00:14:22,820
could you look into gettin' a McFlurry
machine for my classroom?
317
00:14:22,820 --> 00:14:25,531
Because the McFlurry machine
to classroom ratio--
318
00:14:25,531 --> 00:14:27,116
That's-- That's also way off.
319
00:14:27,116 --> 00:14:28,492
We can't do that.
320
00:14:28,993 --> 00:14:29,994
Typical.
321
00:14:32,496 --> 00:14:33,747
- Hey, Manny?
- Hey.
322
00:14:33,747 --> 00:14:37,877
Hey. So, you said to mention ideas,
and I think I have one.
323
00:14:37,877 --> 00:14:40,379
- Okay.
- Love the iPads that you gave us,
324
00:14:40,379 --> 00:14:44,049
but I was just thinking it would be cool
if we had more chargers for charging.
325
00:14:44,049 --> 00:14:47,845
You know, like, three or four or seven.
326
00:14:47,845 --> 00:14:49,471
- Or eight.
- Hey, you said it, not me.
327
00:14:49,471 --> 00:14:50,890
Yeah. Guys, we should make sure
328
00:14:50,890 --> 00:14:53,976
that we have enough chargers
for the iPads in all the classrooms.
329
00:14:53,976 --> 00:14:55,060
- Yes.
- Yes.
330
00:14:55,060 --> 00:14:57,897
Yeah. And I'm just throwing
this out there that, um,
331
00:14:57,897 --> 00:14:59,857
you know,
LeapFrog tablets could be better.
332
00:14:59,857 --> 00:15:03,569
Ooh, yes. They're built for student use,
more cost-efficient.
333
00:15:03,569 --> 00:15:05,988
Right. And they haven't changed
their cords in years.
334
00:15:05,988 --> 00:15:08,657
See? That's why I knew
you'd be a great fit for the fellowship.
335
00:15:08,657 --> 00:15:10,826
I know that you don't wanna be
away from your class.
336
00:15:10,826 --> 00:15:12,411
So, would it help if I told you
337
00:15:12,411 --> 00:15:15,581
that you would get to be at Abbott
once or even twice a week?
338
00:15:16,165 --> 00:15:17,166
- Really?
- Yeah.
339
00:15:17,166 --> 00:15:20,085
The fellowship is built so that you
stay on the ground with a pilot school
340
00:15:20,085 --> 00:15:23,213
where you can still hear from all your
teachers and test out all your new ideas.
341
00:15:23,213 --> 00:15:25,257
Well, that's nice to hear.
342
00:15:26,258 --> 00:15:27,885
And I-I don't wanna sound money-hungry,
343
00:15:27,885 --> 00:15:30,220
but is there, like,
a pay raise?
344
00:15:30,220 --> 00:15:31,513
- Two dollars.
- Two dollars?
345
00:15:31,513 --> 00:15:33,098
That's like a million dollars!
346
00:15:33,098 --> 00:15:37,269
Well, hey, we don't make this offer
just to any teacher, okay?
347
00:15:37,269 --> 00:15:39,271
You got a knack for doing this.
348
00:15:39,271 --> 00:15:42,399
Yeah, and if she says no, you gotta--
gotta find somebody else, right?
349
00:15:43,609 --> 00:15:47,112
And if it's about diversity,
let me tell you that I am queer.
350
00:15:47,112 --> 00:15:48,614
It's not.
351
00:15:48,614 --> 00:15:50,366
I'm-I'm fun to be around?
352
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:54,328
Hi there.
- Ow.
353
00:15:54,328 --> 00:15:55,746
Everything okay?
354
00:15:55,746 --> 00:15:57,122
Fine, fine.
355
00:15:57,122 --> 00:16:01,543
Just trying to move these desks
the way you people want them.
356
00:16:01,543 --> 00:16:02,711
Can we help you?
357
00:16:02,711 --> 00:16:06,173
No, I don't have the time
to file the paperwork just to move a desk.
358
00:16:06,173 --> 00:16:08,175
No, I can help you lift the desk.
359
00:16:10,302 --> 00:16:11,929
The legendary Mrs. Howard.
360
00:16:11,929 --> 00:16:16,433
I haven't had a chance to connect
with you yet, but I hear you're the one.
361
00:16:17,017 --> 00:16:18,394
Charmed.
362
00:16:19,979 --> 00:16:22,898
We're actually working on a program
to get assistance in the classroom
363
00:16:22,898 --> 00:16:24,316
at the beginning of the school year
364
00:16:24,316 --> 00:16:27,736
instead of you having to request one
that doesn't get here until January.
365
00:16:27,736 --> 00:16:30,572
Thank you. I do not need
a whole song and dance.
366
00:16:30,572 --> 00:16:32,741
And thank you for your help.
367
00:16:39,415 --> 00:16:40,833
You don't trust us, do you?
368
00:16:41,792 --> 00:16:42,960
Honestly?
369
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:44,044
No.
370
00:16:44,878 --> 00:16:47,798
I've seen many versions of you
walk through that door,
371
00:16:47,798 --> 00:16:50,801
all with nice smiles, appearing to care.
372
00:16:50,801 --> 00:16:52,219
Mrs. Howard, I get it.
373
00:16:52,219 --> 00:16:54,138
I know what this district was,
374
00:16:54,138 --> 00:16:59,143
and I am aware of how I come off,
but I don't know any other way to be.
375
00:16:59,727 --> 00:17:01,061
I started working at the district
376
00:17:01,061 --> 00:17:05,649
because I saw that it needed to change
for students like the student that I was,
377
00:17:05,649 --> 00:17:09,445
for teachers like you
and for teachers like my mom.
378
00:17:11,321 --> 00:17:12,489
Your mom's an educator?
379
00:17:12,489 --> 00:17:13,574
She was.
380
00:17:13,574 --> 00:17:15,242
And before she retired,
381
00:17:15,242 --> 00:17:19,204
I listened to her complain about the
district every single year for 20 years.
382
00:17:20,539 --> 00:17:22,583
I just wanted to make
the job easier for her.
383
00:17:23,167 --> 00:17:25,711
So, I can't make you trust me,
384
00:17:26,587 --> 00:17:29,965
but I'm not gonna stop
trying to make the job easier.
385
00:17:30,466 --> 00:17:31,759
And that goes for me and my team.
386
00:17:40,517 --> 00:17:41,935
It was a pleasure, Mrs. Howard.
387
00:17:44,563 --> 00:17:46,440
Keeps it--
Break it up, slackers.
388
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:51,278
Yeah, I'm talking to you, Mrs. Miller,
Ms. Schemmenti, ponytail guy.
389
00:17:51,278 --> 00:17:52,362
Yeah, that's right.
390
00:17:52,362 --> 00:17:54,239
I got cameras all over this place
391
00:17:54,239 --> 00:17:58,160
just to make sure we're always working
to make Abbott a brighter place.
392
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,829
Well, we made a plan
to solve this Ava problem.
393
00:18:00,829 --> 00:18:02,206
We need to, like, reset her.
394
00:18:02,206 --> 00:18:04,291
We looked for a button. There wasn't one.
395
00:18:04,291 --> 00:18:07,586
So we decided to tempt her
with things we know she loves.
396
00:18:07,586 --> 00:18:10,672
First, money. We sent Jacob in
looking incredibly scammable.
397
00:18:10,672 --> 00:18:13,175
Second, her love of skipping work.
398
00:18:13,175 --> 00:18:16,178
In this case, for an Usher show.
399
00:18:16,178 --> 00:18:20,099
Nothing has worked so far,
so now we're pulling out the big guns.
400
00:18:20,099 --> 00:18:21,183
Ready?
401
00:18:22,476 --> 00:18:23,644
No.
Oh, come on.
402
00:18:23,644 --> 00:18:26,730
We cannot stand any more
of this "new Ava."
403
00:18:26,730 --> 00:18:30,526
And unfortunately,
you are a very powerful tool.
404
00:18:30,526 --> 00:18:32,194
Tool? You're literally objectifying me.
405
00:18:32,194 --> 00:18:33,529
Objects don't talk.
406
00:18:33,529 --> 00:18:37,074
Bro, dog, do you wanna continue
to live under this new regime?
407
00:18:38,492 --> 00:18:40,994
- No.
- Then you know what we must do.
408
00:18:40,994 --> 00:18:43,664
- Take it off. Take off the sweater.
- Are we sure there's no other way?
409
00:18:43,664 --> 00:18:46,708
Hush. Roll up a sleeve and
tastefully welcome her to the gun show.
410
00:18:46,708 --> 00:18:48,377
And lean against the doorframe.
411
00:18:48,377 --> 00:18:49,711
- You know how.
- Yeah.
412
00:18:57,261 --> 00:18:59,763
- Can I help you with something?
- Well, it depends.
413
00:19:01,014 --> 00:19:06,520
All these rules are so hard and rigid.
414
00:19:10,065 --> 00:19:11,692
Well, here's a rule.
415
00:19:12,192 --> 00:19:14,403
Put your arms away, Jeremy Allen Black.
416
00:19:14,945 --> 00:19:16,113
This is a school.
417
00:19:19,408 --> 00:19:20,993
Please.
418
00:19:21,618 --> 00:19:24,454
Okay. Look, we need old Ava back.
419
00:19:24,454 --> 00:19:25,539
Mm-hmm.
420
00:19:25,539 --> 00:19:27,332
Well, she's dead and gone.
421
00:19:27,332 --> 00:19:29,626
I lead now. I communicate.
422
00:19:29,626 --> 00:19:31,670
I haven't listened
to the City Girls in months.
423
00:19:32,963 --> 00:19:34,131
This is who I am now.
424
00:19:35,632 --> 00:19:37,718
Well, I guess this is just life now.
425
00:19:37,718 --> 00:19:39,803
If Gregory's arms didn't work,
nothing will.
426
00:19:39,803 --> 00:19:40,888
Oh, no.
427
00:19:41,513 --> 00:19:46,310
There's one card we can play,
but we're gonna have to go low.
428
00:19:46,894 --> 00:19:50,314
Nay, get low.
429
00:19:55,068 --> 00:19:56,528
Hey, Barbara.
- Hey.
430
00:19:57,029 --> 00:19:58,739
Oh. You changed your desks.
431
00:19:58,739 --> 00:19:59,948
Mandate.
432
00:19:59,948 --> 00:20:01,950
These new district people.
433
00:20:01,950 --> 00:20:05,829
They smile in your face and tell you
your ideas are good, but they suck, right?
434
00:20:05,829 --> 00:20:08,207
You know, I can't believe
I'm gonna say this,
435
00:20:09,666 --> 00:20:11,460
but I actually have hope
for this new group.
436
00:20:11,460 --> 00:20:13,212
I think they can make change.
437
00:20:13,712 --> 00:20:16,381
What-- Seriously?
438
00:20:16,381 --> 00:20:18,383
Wow. I was really hoping
for a Barbara bummer.
439
00:20:18,383 --> 00:20:19,509
And what would that be?
440
00:20:19,509 --> 00:20:21,386
Uh, it's when you tell me
everything's trash
441
00:20:21,386 --> 00:20:23,555
and that people are useless
and I shouldn't have hope.
442
00:20:23,555 --> 00:20:26,391
Beside the fact
that I have never said any of that,
443
00:20:26,391 --> 00:20:27,768
I've had a change of heart.
444
00:20:27,768 --> 00:20:29,228
I think this new group--
445
00:20:29,228 --> 00:20:31,605
There's something there,
something genuine.
446
00:20:31,605 --> 00:20:33,106
What?
447
00:20:33,106 --> 00:20:34,942
They offered me a fellowship.
448
00:20:34,942 --> 00:20:37,986
This thing where I can go work
at the district
449
00:20:37,986 --> 00:20:41,448
and help them bring big ideas to life
for all of Philly's schools,
450
00:20:41,448 --> 00:20:43,242
and I turned it down.
451
00:20:43,825 --> 00:20:45,619
Well, you don't seem happy
you turned it down.
452
00:20:45,619 --> 00:20:50,374
I've been doing this for three years now,
and I finally got it in my brain
453
00:20:50,374 --> 00:20:53,126
that you just have to accept
the things you can't change.
454
00:20:53,126 --> 00:20:55,504
Just be. Just be a good teacher.
455
00:20:56,213 --> 00:20:57,839
Stop dreaming, I guess.
456
00:20:57,839 --> 00:21:02,719
Dreamers are the only people
that can bring about a different reality.
457
00:21:03,595 --> 00:21:05,514
Do you really want this fellowship?
458
00:21:06,098 --> 00:21:07,099
Maybe.
459
00:21:07,099 --> 00:21:10,811
Sweetheart, you know that you still have
Abbott to come home to when it ends.
460
00:21:12,562 --> 00:21:16,608
And now, if you will excuse me,
I've got to go save the school.
461
00:21:19,027 --> 00:21:20,112
What?
462
00:21:22,656 --> 00:21:24,658
{\an8}Ava, you're needed in the gym.
463
00:21:24,658 --> 00:21:27,703
Yeah, there's a bunch of teachers in there
saying Princeton's better than Harvard.
464
00:21:27,703 --> 00:21:29,204
Oh, hell, no!
465
00:21:32,207 --> 00:21:33,458
Okay. We have, like, two minutes.
466
00:21:33,458 --> 00:21:35,836
So, can you please fill us in
on the rest of this genius plan?
467
00:21:35,836 --> 00:21:37,087
Ava said she stopped listening
468
00:21:37,087 --> 00:21:38,463
- to the Town Women...
- City Girls.
469
00:21:38,463 --> 00:21:42,175
...but I know there's one song
she cannot resist.
470
00:21:42,175 --> 00:21:44,469
- Jacob, whip out the Walkman.
- Phone.
471
00:21:44,469 --> 00:21:45,929
- Open up Napster.
- Spotify.
472
00:21:45,929 --> 00:21:48,098
Jesus, close your ears.
473
00:21:48,098 --> 00:21:49,182
Come on.
474
00:21:51,977 --> 00:21:54,062
Princeton is the Temple University
of the Ivies!
475
00:21:54,730 --> 00:21:56,189
Now, Mr. Johnson.
476
00:21:56,189 --> 00:21:57,441
Let go of your butts.
477
00:21:59,067 --> 00:22:00,485
What the hell?
478
00:22:01,945 --> 00:22:04,740
No. No.
479
00:22:04,740 --> 00:22:06,366
Not today, Juvenile.
480
00:22:10,829 --> 00:22:11,997

I'm back, y'all!
490
00:22:32,517 --> 00:22:35,020
So, Ava, can we have
our free periods back now?
491
00:22:35,604 --> 00:22:36,855
Y'all can do whatever you want.
492
00:22:37,356 --> 00:22:39,524
Mr. Johnson, find my ring light!
493
00:22:39,524 --> 00:22:42,152
I'm about to be on IG live all day!
494
00:22:42,652 --> 00:22:43,945
Yes!
495
00:22:43,945 --> 00:22:45,822
Go, Ava! Go A--
496
00:22:45,822 --> 00:22:46,948
So, it turns out,
497
00:22:46,948 --> 00:22:49,284
the only thing worse
than Ava being an awful principal
498
00:22:49,284 --> 00:22:50,911
is Ava being a good one.
499
00:22:50,911 --> 00:22:54,206
You should've been there, Janine.
We tried everything to get her back.
500
00:22:54,206 --> 00:22:56,208
Gregory even flexed his muscles.
501
00:22:56,208 --> 00:22:58,126
You flexed?
Yeah.
502
00:22:59,461 --> 00:23:02,506
Well, did you guys try just playing
"Back That Azz Up"? Because that--
503
00:23:02,506 --> 00:23:04,383
How did you know to do that?
504
00:23:04,383 --> 00:23:07,052
Wow. You really are district material.
505
00:23:07,052 --> 00:23:08,553
Oh, stop.
506
00:23:09,346 --> 00:23:14,309
Oh, um, so Manny offered me
a fellowship at the district,
507
00:23:14,309 --> 00:23:16,019
and I'm, like, 80-20 on doing it.
508
00:23:16,019 --> 00:23:17,354
So, you'd leave Abbott?
509
00:23:17,354 --> 00:23:18,855
Well, yeah, but not permanently.
510
00:23:18,855 --> 00:23:21,775
Well, I'm happy for you
and jealous and sad.
511
00:23:21,775 --> 00:23:23,944
I'm emotional, which calls for shots.
512
00:23:23,944 --> 00:23:26,780
Can you see about my cheese fries please?
513
00:23:26,780 --> 00:23:28,824
Uh. Wow. Well, congrats.
514
00:23:28,824 --> 00:23:30,075
Mmm.
515
00:23:30,075 --> 00:23:32,953
But I haven't made my mind up yet.
Just haven't decided.
516
00:23:32,953 --> 00:23:34,538
Look, you'd be perfect for it.
517
00:23:38,625 --> 00:23:40,293
- What?
- What?
518
00:23:40,293 --> 00:23:41,753
What? You--
519
00:23:41,753 --> 00:23:44,214
Uh-- No, it's great. It really is.
520
00:23:44,214 --> 00:23:46,383
It's just-- It'd be weird,
you not being at Abbott.
521
00:23:46,383 --> 00:23:47,467
Yeah.
522
00:23:47,467 --> 00:23:50,512
It's-It's a fantastic opportunity,
but I don't know.
523
00:23:50,512 --> 00:23:52,389
When I think of Abbott, I think of you.
524
00:23:52,389 --> 00:23:54,641
And when I think of you,
I think of Abbott.
525
00:23:57,894 --> 00:23:59,729
Yeah. No, I know.
526
00:24:00,397 --> 00:24:02,232
And I'm gonna miss my students.
527
00:24:02,732 --> 00:24:06,111
I'm gonna miss my classroom.
528
00:24:06,987 --> 00:24:08,989
Will miss knocking on that wall to chat.
529
00:24:11,950 --> 00:24:13,452
I'm gonna miss that too.
530
00:24:18,248 --> 00:24:19,541
You're really gonna leave us?
531
00:24:32,179 --> 00:24:33,805
Happy Career Day, Ava.
532
00:24:34,931 --> 00:24:36,892
There's no such thing as a happy career.
533
00:24:36,892 --> 00:24:38,393
To work is to lose in life.
534
00:24:39,519 --> 00:24:40,687
Good to have her back.
535
00:24:49,738 --> 00:24:51,823
Oh, no. No, no, no, no.
You haven't missed anything.
536
00:24:51,823 --> 00:24:53,408
Nothing is weird with Gregory.
537
00:24:53,408 --> 00:24:56,328
I basically just decided
to go work with the district and,
538
00:24:56,328 --> 00:24:57,704
you know, Gregory and I are good.
539
00:24:57,704 --> 00:24:58,955
Me and Janine?
540
00:24:58,955 --> 00:25:00,332
Yeah-- No, we-- We're fine.
541
00:25:00,332 --> 00:25:03,793
It's--
It's just noth-- It's nothing weird.
542
00:25:03,793 --> 00:25:06,588
Oh, hell, yeah, something weird
is going on between Gregory and Janine.
543
00:25:06,588 --> 00:25:07,839
They ain't tell you?
544
00:25:07,839 --> 00:25:10,467
Well, lucky for y'all,
my hidden cameras picked up everything.
545
00:25:10,467 --> 00:25:11,843
Y'all gonna love this.
546
00:25:13,595 --> 00:25:14,763
Hey.
Hey.
547
00:25:14,763 --> 00:25:16,765
That was a fun hang
the other night, right?
548
00:25:16,765 --> 00:25:18,934
- It was. I really liked that place.
- Me too.
549
00:25:19,643 --> 00:25:22,312
But you think the camera crew
got home safe though, right?
550
00:25:22,312 --> 00:25:23,980
I mean, we did tell them
it was a rough area.
551
00:25:23,980 --> 00:25:25,190
Yeah. I'm sure they're fine.
552
00:25:25,190 --> 00:25:26,733
They're probably
all just sick or something.
553
00:25:26,733 --> 00:25:28,693
What are the chances
they all got robbed? It's--
554
00:25:33,156 --> 00:25:36,493
Hey. So I was thinking about the field
trip from last year to the museum.
555
00:25:36,493 --> 00:25:38,078
Okay. Uh-huh.
556
00:25:38,078 --> 00:25:43,208
And, particularly, the part where
you told me that you had feelings for me.
557
00:25:44,459 --> 00:25:46,461
And I had some too, I guess.
558
00:25:47,337 --> 00:25:51,591
And I basically still have those feelings.
559
00:25:51,591 --> 00:25:53,218
I realized it at the bar.
560
00:25:53,718 --> 00:25:54,719
Yeah?
561
00:25:54,719 --> 00:25:57,514
So, I don't know.
I was wondering if maybe--
562
00:25:58,014 --> 00:26:03,603
What if now we could try to explore that,
try to-- I don't know.
563
00:26:05,105 --> 00:26:06,940
Uh.
- Mmm.
564
00:26:06,940 --> 00:26:08,608
Wow. Um--
565
00:26:10,443 --> 00:26:13,196
- Definitely didn't see that coming.
- I know.
566
00:26:13,196 --> 00:26:14,823
- Me either.
- Uh--
567
00:26:16,074 --> 00:26:22,455
Honestly, Janine, in my mind,
I had kinda put a period on that.
568
00:26:26,084 --> 00:26:27,085
Out of respect.
569
00:26:27,085 --> 00:26:29,004
- Yeah.
- You know? It just-- It-It see--
570
00:26:30,088 --> 00:26:32,924
I had mentally moved on,
and it seemed like that was kind of a--
571
00:26:33,967 --> 00:26:36,469
- The right thing to do, so I did.
- Mm-hmm. Right.
572
00:26:36,469 --> 00:26:39,139
I mean, just so you know,
I wasn't saying we should never.
573
00:26:40,223 --> 00:26:41,224
Okay, yeah. No.
574
00:26:41,224 --> 00:26:45,353
But, like, you know... [sighs] ...even
with you changing your mind right now,
575
00:26:45,353 --> 00:26:48,523
- it just feels like it would be safer...
- Mm-hmm.
576
00:26:48,523 --> 00:26:52,736
- ...for both of us if we were just friends.
- Mm-hmm.
577
00:26:52,736 --> 00:26:53,987
Mm-hmm.
578
00:26:53,987 --> 00:26:56,156
Yeah, definitely.
- You know?
579
00:26:56,156 --> 00:26:58,033
- 'Cause I really value what we have...
- So do I.
580
00:26:58,033 --> 00:26:59,618
- ...and I don't want this to get all--
- Yeah.
581
00:26:59,618 --> 00:27:01,995
- You know what I mean?
- I get it. I really do. I understand.
582
00:27:01,995 --> 00:27:04,914
- Okay.
- Safer is better. Safe is great.
583
00:27:04,914 --> 00:27:06,499
- Yeah.
- Yeah. Okay.
584
00:27:10,170 --> 00:27:12,005
Look at Janine's face.
585
00:27:13,715 --> 00:27:14,883
She mad.
586
00:27:15,967 --> 00:27:17,927
Good morning, everyone.
We are so excited.
587
00:27:17,927 --> 00:27:20,430
And let me just tell you,
this isn't your mothers' Career Day.
588
00:27:20,430 --> 00:27:21,514
- No, it's not.
- Yep.
589
00:27:21,514 --> 00:27:24,601
Though, we're sure all your mothers
have vibrant professional careers.
590
00:27:24,601 --> 00:27:26,019
Yeah, if they so choose.
591
00:27:26,019 --> 00:27:30,732
Uh, the main goal of this fellowship
is piloting new programs and initiatives
592
00:27:30,732 --> 00:27:32,025
for the entire district.
593
00:27:32,025 --> 00:27:34,110
Which is why I've spent
the last four months
594
00:27:34,110 --> 00:27:37,739
making sure that Career Day
is a fresh and impactful experience
595
00:27:37,739 --> 00:27:41,201
for students, staff and professionals
all over this great city.
596
00:27:41,201 --> 00:27:42,285
- All over.
- It's major.
597
00:27:42,285 --> 00:27:43,370
Yeah.
598
00:27:43,370 --> 00:27:45,413
Connections will be made,
dreams will be born--
599
00:27:45,413 --> 00:27:47,207
Wow.
- Janines will be quiet.
600
00:27:47,207 --> 00:27:48,291
Okay.
601
00:27:48,291 --> 00:27:52,671
Um, so, for you, Mrs. Murphy,
an anesthesiologist.
602
00:27:52,671 --> 00:27:55,382
For Mrs. Howard, a licensed cosmetologist.
603
00:27:55,382 --> 00:27:56,758
- Oh.
- Lovely.
604
00:27:56,758 --> 00:27:59,469
Cosmetology is quite lucrative these days.
605
00:27:59,469 --> 00:28:01,304
Um, a zoologist for my class.
606
00:28:01,304 --> 00:28:03,765
I'm sorry. I mean the substitute,
Ms. Lee's class.
607
00:28:03,765 --> 00:28:05,266
I don't like animals.
608
00:28:05,767 --> 00:28:09,312
Well, the students will love it. Uh, so--
609
00:28:09,312 --> 00:28:11,523
Ms. Schemmenti,
we have a marketing professional...
610
00:28:11,523 --> 00:28:14,150
- Boo.
- ...from the Philadelphia Eagles.
611
00:28:14,150 --> 00:28:16,861
Yes! Hell, yes!
612
00:28:16,861 --> 00:28:19,280
What about me?
Tell me I got him please, please, please.
613
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,242
Yes, Jacob, as requested,
you have Mr. Johnson.
614
00:28:22,242 --> 00:28:25,537
Yes! Oh, he's had, like,
every job under the sun.
615
00:28:25,537 --> 00:28:27,872
Very useful in today's gig economy.
616
00:28:27,872 --> 00:28:30,333
Oh, the places we'll go.
617
00:28:31,418 --> 00:28:37,048
Um, and for Mr. Eddie, you'll have
a botanist from the Longwood Gardens.
618
00:28:37,048 --> 00:28:39,050
Cool. Thank you, Ms. Teagues.
619
00:28:39,634 --> 00:28:41,428
Cool. Okay.
620
00:28:41,428 --> 00:28:42,721
Hey, Gary.
621
00:28:42,721 --> 00:28:45,014
I thought you restocked
the vending machines yesterday.
622
00:28:45,014 --> 00:28:47,726
{\an8}Oh, I'm here to dispense
more than just high sodium.
623
00:28:47,726 --> 00:28:49,561
Yeah, he's here for Career Day.
Mmm.
624
00:28:49,561 --> 00:28:51,980
This man has got a 401(k).
625
00:28:51,980 --> 00:28:54,524
I mean, it's all in quarters.
But, hey, money's money.
626
00:28:54,524 --> 00:28:55,942
Yeah.
627
00:28:55,942 --> 00:28:57,861
- I'm really loving Career Day, though.
- Mm-hmm.
628
00:28:57,861 --> 00:29:01,823
I'm hoping that cosmetologist
will do my nails also.
629
00:29:01,823 --> 00:29:04,200
Oh, maybe she could do your nails too.
630
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,162
You never know
when you're gonna need a ring photo.
631
00:29:07,746 --> 00:29:10,582
I'm just teasing. Just teasing.
Okay.
632
00:29:11,166 --> 00:29:12,625
Okay. Yeah, I know.
633
00:29:12,625 --> 00:29:14,711
'Cause you love to make
these little jokes...
634
00:29:14,711 --> 00:29:16,171
- Yeah.
- ...but, uh, yeah,
635
00:29:16,171 --> 00:29:18,173
just checking in that we're
on the same page.
636
00:29:18,173 --> 00:29:21,259
'Cause, like, Gary, you know
I don't wanna get married again, right?
637
00:29:21,259 --> 00:29:23,219
Like, I did it before.
I don't wanna do it again.
638
00:29:23,219 --> 00:29:25,138
- Yeah, I got you.
- Okay, okay.
639
00:29:25,138 --> 00:29:27,474
Just 'cause I want us
to be clear, all right?
640
00:29:27,474 --> 00:29:30,560
So, it would take like a miracle
for me to want to get hitched again.
641
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:32,437
- All right. Okay.
- Okay. All right.
642
00:29:32,437 --> 00:29:34,481
Like, an absolute friggin' miracle.
643
00:29:34,981 --> 00:29:37,066
Thank you all so much for coming.
644
00:29:37,066 --> 00:29:38,318
It means a lot to the kids
645
00:29:38,318 --> 00:29:41,279
to be able to see
all the different career possibilities.
646
00:29:41,279 --> 00:29:43,490
- We cannot pay you enough.
- You're paying us nothing.
647
00:29:43,490 --> 00:29:45,867
And I assure you that any amount
would not be enough.
648
00:29:46,868 --> 00:29:48,536
Oh, I can't believe it's finally here.
649
00:29:48,536 --> 00:29:50,497
All these weeks of work for one day.
650
00:29:50,497 --> 00:29:51,581
{\an8}I can't blow this.
651
00:29:52,373 --> 00:29:54,876
{\an8}If I mess this up, the district won't
let me pitch anything else.
652
00:29:54,876 --> 00:29:55,794
{\an8}That's right.
653
00:29:55,794 --> 00:29:57,670
{\an8}Yeah, I tanked the rollout
for electric school buses,
654
00:29:57,670 --> 00:29:59,464
{\an8}and I haven't been allowed
to speak in meetings since.
655
00:29:59,464 --> 00:30:00,882
{\an8}It's gonna be great.
656
00:30:01,424 --> 00:30:02,509
Okay, this is you.
657
00:30:03,635 --> 00:30:04,552
Hey.
658
00:30:04,552 --> 00:30:05,637
Hi.
659
00:30:06,262 --> 00:30:07,263
{\an8}All right.
660
00:30:07,972 --> 00:30:13,061
{\an8}Oh. And this just gets harder and harder,
because they go crazy for me.
661
00:30:13,061 --> 00:30:14,229
Hey, guys.
662
00:30:18,608 --> 00:30:19,901
They get tired after lunch.
663
00:30:19,901 --> 00:30:21,444
- It's 8:30.
- Is it?
664
00:30:22,070 --> 00:30:23,404
{\an8}I don't think it-it--
665
00:30:24,572 --> 00:30:25,782
I see why they're being weird.
666
00:30:25,782 --> 00:30:28,409
She put the date on the bottom
of the board instead of the top.
667
00:30:28,409 --> 00:30:30,203
Classic mistake. Let me just...
668
00:30:31,913 --> 00:30:33,039
What do you think you're doing?
669
00:30:33,039 --> 00:30:35,166
Oh, I was gonna just put the date
at the top of the board.
670
00:30:35,166 --> 00:30:37,210
I like my dates at the bottom,
671
00:30:37,210 --> 00:30:38,628
and I like to fight.
672
00:30:38,628 --> 00:30:41,381
- Oh.
- Territorial behavior.
673
00:30:41,381 --> 00:30:42,966
Oh.
- Pretty common in the wild.
674
00:30:42,966 --> 00:30:45,051
Yes. You see that
in the kingdom all the time.
675
00:30:45,051 --> 00:30:46,803
Now let's see those cheetahs.
676
00:30:46,803 --> 00:30:48,888
I did not bring any cheetahs.
677
00:30:48,888 --> 00:30:50,306
Okay. Let's see a cheetah.
678
00:30:50,849 --> 00:30:52,600
I brought a fake sloth.
679
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:53,852
Really? That's what you brought?
680
00:30:53,852 --> 00:30:56,479
So what I do is make
a little palm tree on the forehead
681
00:30:56,479 --> 00:31:00,024
in a straight line down my nose
all the way to the Cupid's bow area.
682
00:31:00,024 --> 00:31:01,568
Mrs. Howard, if you're interested,
683
00:31:01,568 --> 00:31:04,112
you can find my tutorials
on Instagram and TikTok.
684
00:31:04,112 --> 00:31:07,782
No, I've been doing my makeup
now for well over 30 years.
685
00:31:07,782 --> 00:31:08,908
And you look fantastic,
686
00:31:08,908 --> 00:31:11,661
but maybe some face contouring
and some underpainting
687
00:31:11,661 --> 00:31:12,954
could take you to the next level.
688
00:31:12,954 --> 00:31:14,372
Maybe that would be all right.
689
00:31:14,873 --> 00:31:18,209
When you put these two kinds
of fruit trees close together
690
00:31:18,209 --> 00:31:20,378
- that can lead to--
- Cross-pollination.
691
00:31:21,212 --> 00:31:23,798
Sorry, I was, um, just trying to help.
692
00:31:23,798 --> 00:31:24,883
You know, this summer I--
693
00:31:24,883 --> 00:31:27,051
- Worked with the Orioles grounds crew.
- Yeah.
694
00:31:27,051 --> 00:31:29,429
You mentioned it.
Several times.
695
00:31:29,429 --> 00:31:31,764
Were you the guy that got caught
under the tarp?
696
00:31:35,018 --> 00:31:36,978
Kentucky bluegrass is slippery.
697
00:31:37,854 --> 00:31:40,440
Well, at this point in my story,
you may be asking yourself,
698
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,775
"How did you get elected
to the State Senate?"
699
00:31:42,775 --> 00:31:44,819
Yes, I was asking myself that.
700
00:31:44,819 --> 00:31:46,237
Well, it's real simple.
701
00:31:46,237 --> 00:31:49,407
You see, the incumbent passed away
right before the election.
702
00:31:50,158 --> 00:31:52,619
Everybody would just vote for him
when they saw his name.
703
00:31:53,119 --> 00:31:56,831
Just so happens that this man's name
was also Mr. Johnson.
704
00:31:56,831 --> 00:32:00,043
I got myself on the ballot,
and the rest is history.
705
00:32:00,043 --> 00:32:03,338
Anyway, I served three terms,
and we won the Cold War.
706
00:32:04,088 --> 00:32:07,467
So then I come over here
and I create a hyperlink,
707
00:32:07,467 --> 00:32:10,970
which I then put in an email
708
00:32:10,970 --> 00:32:15,266
that I blast to our platinum members.
709
00:32:15,266 --> 00:32:16,726
And then comes the fun part.
710
00:32:16,726 --> 00:32:17,727
We wait.
711
00:32:18,478 --> 00:32:20,605
This guy does not look like a Eagle.
712
00:32:20,605 --> 00:32:21,898
Hey, pipe down.
713
00:32:21,898 --> 00:32:23,775
He could be a punter if he wanted to.
Go ahead.
714
00:32:23,775 --> 00:32:25,735
Thank you. No, that--
You know, that's okay.
715
00:32:25,735 --> 00:32:27,028
It happens all the time.
716
00:32:27,028 --> 00:32:31,449
That's why I've arranged a special guest
to come say hi to everyone.
717
00:32:31,449 --> 00:32:33,785
Think you might like him more than me.
718
00:32:33,785 --> 00:32:35,578
Well, I mean if we start a database,
719
00:32:35,578 --> 00:32:37,288
then there's no reason
not to do Career Day
720
00:32:37,288 --> 00:32:38,706
in every school across the city.
721
00:32:38,706 --> 00:32:39,958
And if we're short on volunteers,
722
00:32:39,958 --> 00:32:42,460
we can get vocational schools
to send students over for credit.
723
00:32:42,460 --> 00:32:44,003
That is brilliant.
Hey.
724
00:32:44,003 --> 00:32:47,048
Why did you invite me here
just to speak to an empty classroom?
725
00:32:47,048 --> 00:32:50,343
All the kids left. The teacher left.
I just brought my fake sloth for nothing?
726
00:32:50,343 --> 00:32:52,178
What?
Yeah.
727
00:32:52,178 --> 00:32:54,430
Whoa, whoa.
Hey, guys, no running!
728
00:32:54,430 --> 00:32:55,932
Hey, no running! Guys!
729
00:32:55,932 --> 00:32:57,642
Ava, what is going on?
730
00:32:57,642 --> 00:33:00,520
The world's finest starting quarterback
is here. Everybody, move!
731
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:01,604
What?
732
00:33:02,313 --> 00:33:04,941
Excuse me. Excuse me,
excuse me, excuse me, sorry. Sorry.
733
00:33:06,401 --> 00:33:07,694
Oh, my God.
734
00:33:08,486 --> 00:33:11,656
Hey, little girl. Look at you
all dressed up for Career Day.
735
00:33:15,326 --> 00:33:16,911
Good one, Jalen Hurts.
736
00:33:18,830 --> 00:33:21,624
Melissa, how is Jalen Hurts
on your screen right now?
737
00:33:21,624 --> 00:33:23,584
Because sometimes
God has favorites, Janine.
738
00:33:23,584 --> 00:33:25,211
America's sweetheart is here.
739
00:33:25,211 --> 00:33:27,755
Thanks to that boat-shoe-wearing
hero over there.
740
00:33:27,755 --> 00:33:30,466
It's an absolute
freaking miracle!
741
00:33:30,466 --> 00:33:32,218
Do we get to talk to Jalen too?
742
00:33:32,218 --> 00:33:36,723
Oh, no, kids. I don't think Jalen Hurts
is gonna be able to stay.
743
00:33:36,723 --> 00:33:38,266
Career Day blows.
744
00:33:38,266 --> 00:33:40,601
This makes you wanna never work.
745
00:33:40,601 --> 00:33:41,936
All right, that's dramatic.
746
00:33:42,562 --> 00:33:45,523
Dang it, Eagles marketing guy.
Why'd you have to go above and beyond?
747
00:33:45,523 --> 00:33:48,109
Why couldn't you just bring
Eagles pencils or something?
748
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:53,489
Jay, since we only have
but so much time together, uh,
749
00:33:53,489 --> 00:33:56,034
I was wondering.
What do you dream about at night?
750
00:33:56,034 --> 00:33:59,328
That I'm the prince
of the underwater kingdom of Atlantis.
751
00:34:03,416 --> 00:34:07,712
Hey, I got a crazy favor to ask you.
752
00:34:08,921 --> 00:34:10,548
I got it. I got it.
Hmm?
753
00:34:10,548 --> 00:34:11,632
Let's call an audible.
754
00:34:11,632 --> 00:34:13,926
We'll get the video link set up
in every classroom.
755
00:34:13,926 --> 00:34:16,721
Then we'll take the kids
back to the rooms with their teachers.
756
00:34:16,721 --> 00:34:18,431
We get Jalen to talk to everybody at once.
757
00:34:18,431 --> 00:34:21,059
And we've got eight charged iPads now,
so that shouldn't be a problem.
758
00:34:21,059 --> 00:34:22,643
Now, that's a great play.
759
00:34:22,643 --> 00:34:23,811
Ready for kickoff.
760
00:34:23,811 --> 00:34:25,855
Oh, my gosh. District on three?
Absolutely.
761
00:34:25,855 --> 00:34:28,024
Okay. One, two, three!
Two, three!
762
00:34:28,024 --> 00:34:29,609
District!
Nerds!
763
00:34:30,401 --> 00:34:32,195
Okay.
Uh,
764
00:34:32,195 --> 00:34:34,822
excellence from the people around you
and have fun with them as well.
765
00:34:34,822 --> 00:34:37,617
Hey, Jalen, um, you might remember
me from earlier.
766
00:34:37,617 --> 00:34:38,826
Janine Teagues from the district.
767
00:34:38,826 --> 00:34:41,913
Do you think you can give us ten minutes
so we can put you in every classroom?
768
00:34:41,913 --> 00:34:43,831
For the kids,
I got all the time in the world,
769
00:34:43,831 --> 00:34:46,250
as long as it's wrapped up in ten minutes.
I gotta get to practice.
770
00:34:46,250 --> 00:34:48,294
Thank you. Your face is incredible.
771
00:34:48,294 --> 00:34:49,545
Excuse me.
772
00:34:49,545 --> 00:34:51,714
Oh, my gosh. That could have been a mess.
773
00:34:51,714 --> 00:34:53,674
But we found a solution.
774
00:34:53,674 --> 00:34:57,637
No kids or professionals feel left out,
and Jalen meets every class.
775
00:34:57,637 --> 00:34:58,721
Efficient after all.
776
00:34:59,305 --> 00:35:02,058
As the girls say, "I ate that."
777
00:35:02,058 --> 00:35:03,226
I consumed it.
778
00:35:03,226 --> 00:35:04,477
Thank you to everyone
779
00:35:04,477 --> 00:35:06,354
who took the time
out of their day to be here.
780
00:35:06,354 --> 00:35:09,107
After football,
I have to start another career.
781
00:35:09,107 --> 00:35:12,110
So I wish I had been there
to hear the other professionals talk.
782
00:35:12,693 --> 00:35:14,028
Now, before I go,
783
00:35:14,028 --> 00:35:18,324
there's a special someone
who wants to propose, because,
784
00:35:19,992 --> 00:35:22,036
"This love feels like a first down,
785
00:35:22,036 --> 00:35:23,996
and he wants to be
in the end zone of your heart.
786
00:35:24,789 --> 00:35:27,291
Let's touch down on our future together."
787
00:35:27,291 --> 00:35:29,377
Is Jalen Hurts proposing to me?
788
00:35:29,877 --> 00:35:31,045
I don't think so.
789
00:35:33,131 --> 00:35:34,674
You said it would take a miracle,
790
00:35:34,674 --> 00:35:38,594
and there's no clearer sign
than me being able to get Jalen Hurts
791
00:35:38,594 --> 00:35:40,596
to be part of the proposal.
792
00:35:40,596 --> 00:35:42,390
So I'm throwing a Hail Mary.
793
00:35:43,099 --> 00:35:45,977
Melissa Ann Katerina Schemmenti...
794
00:35:45,977 --> 00:35:47,603
Oh.
795
00:35:47,603 --> 00:35:48,688
...will you marry me?
796
00:35:48,688 --> 00:35:50,189
- Oh.
- Oh.
797
00:35:53,609 --> 00:35:54,569
No.
798
00:35:54,569 --> 00:35:56,487
Oh.
799
00:35:57,238 --> 00:35:59,282
Damn. They usually say yes.
800
00:36:00,283 --> 00:36:03,077
Babe, why not?
801
00:36:03,828 --> 00:36:06,455
Hey, man. You're late for practice.
802
00:36:06,455 --> 00:36:07,957
Yeah, what's happening?
803
00:36:07,957 --> 00:36:10,793
He just asked me to ask her
to marry him, and she said no.
804
00:36:10,793 --> 00:36:12,503
Another proposal?
805
00:36:12,503 --> 00:36:14,839
Jalen, you gotta say no
to this kind of stuff.
806
00:36:14,839 --> 00:36:15,923
Boundaries.
807
00:36:15,923 --> 00:36:18,009
You know my boundaries porous as hell.
808
00:36:18,009 --> 00:36:19,635
I-I really thought we had a great thing.
809
00:36:19,635 --> 00:36:20,678
It has been great.
810
00:36:20,678 --> 00:36:22,388
Really. It has.
811
00:36:22,388 --> 00:36:25,725
But I just-- Gar,
I don't wanna get married again.
812
00:36:26,350 --> 00:36:29,270
And I told you this, like, a lot.
813
00:36:29,270 --> 00:36:30,897
I know. I-I--
814
00:36:30,897 --> 00:36:34,025
I just thought if the perfect moment
ever came around,
815
00:36:34,025 --> 00:36:37,153
and then suddenly Jalen freaking Hurts is...
816
00:36:37,153 --> 00:36:39,197
Oh, my God.
- ...talking in your class. I mean--
817
00:36:39,197 --> 00:36:41,532
Hey, guys. I think maybe
you should take this outside
818
00:36:41,532 --> 00:36:43,784
because everyone's watching,
and I don't think you want that.
819
00:36:43,784 --> 00:36:47,538
Yeah, okay. Class, uh, Miss Schemmenti
is gonna step outside for a sec.
820
00:36:47,538 --> 00:36:49,332
Guys, watch 'em, okay?
821
00:36:49,332 --> 00:36:51,292
Oh, you guys don't have to do that.
822
00:36:51,292 --> 00:36:54,003
Heads down, thumbs up.
Time to play Seven Up.
823
00:36:54,003 --> 00:36:57,131
They actually listened.
Have you ever considered teaching?
824
00:36:57,131 --> 00:37:00,885
Uh, y'all hiring?
I mostly work on Sundays.
825
00:37:03,137 --> 00:37:04,138
That's really funny.
826
00:37:11,229 --> 00:37:12,188
So what do we do now?
827
00:37:12,188 --> 00:37:13,940
You really wanna get married?
828
00:37:13,940 --> 00:37:15,733
I really wanna get married.
829
00:37:15,733 --> 00:37:17,026
And you deserve that.
830
00:37:18,361 --> 00:37:20,404
But, Gar, I'm never getting married again.
831
00:37:20,404 --> 00:37:22,615
- I--
- I-I-I don't need to be convinced.
832
00:37:22,615 --> 00:37:23,783
This is my truth.
833
00:37:24,951 --> 00:37:27,620
Maybe the best thing for both of us...
834
00:37:29,705 --> 00:37:30,998
is not each other.
835
00:37:32,291 --> 00:37:33,292
So...
836
00:37:35,044 --> 00:37:36,420
we're breaking up?
837
00:37:38,547 --> 00:37:40,174
I hate to say it, but I think so.
838
00:37:47,431 --> 00:37:48,432
I'm okay.
839
00:37:49,016 --> 00:37:50,101
I'll be all right.
840
00:37:53,062 --> 00:37:54,855
Even though I feel like a zero right now.
841
00:37:54,855 --> 00:37:56,857
Oh, honey, you're not a zero.
842
00:37:58,609 --> 00:38:00,653
You're a Philly 11.
843
00:38:16,335 --> 00:38:18,629
So the bald guy was on his knee, right?
844
00:38:18,629 --> 00:38:20,756
And Miss Schemmenti's like, "Not today."
845
00:38:20,756 --> 00:38:23,759
She's back.
She's back. Sit down.
846
00:38:24,468 --> 00:38:27,513
We just wanna say,
we think it's cool you trusted your gut.
847
00:38:27,513 --> 00:38:29,724
You're cold, but you're bold.
848
00:38:29,724 --> 00:38:31,767
And that, as a man
with an all-woman management team,
849
00:38:31,767 --> 00:38:35,479
I support a woman's right to stand up
for what she wants or doesn't want.
850
00:38:37,273 --> 00:38:38,941
Get to practice, you guys.
851
00:38:39,483 --> 00:38:41,569
- All right now.
- Bye, Jalen Hurts.
852
00:38:42,153 --> 00:38:44,196
I mean, it could have been worse, right?
853
00:38:44,947 --> 00:38:48,200
I think now we know,
we-we lay some ground rules, right?
854
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:49,577
No football players.
855
00:38:49,577 --> 00:38:51,704
No football at all to be safe.
856
00:38:51,704 --> 00:38:52,705
No proposals.
857
00:38:52,705 --> 00:38:54,040
What are you doing in here?
858
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:57,585
Oh, um, Ava hasn't given me
any office space.
859
00:38:57,585 --> 00:38:59,045
Well, this is my mop's office,
860
00:38:59,045 --> 00:39:01,047
and we're about to have
an important meeting.
861
00:39:02,715 --> 00:39:03,716
Yes, that's--
862
00:39:03,716 --> 00:39:06,427
Hey, guys. I am so sorry about that.
863
00:39:06,427 --> 00:39:07,845
Sorry about what?
864
00:39:07,845 --> 00:39:10,139
That was a mess.
It wasn't streamlined at all.
865
00:39:10,139 --> 00:39:12,975
I know that's the key to the district
picking up these things. I mean--
866
00:39:12,975 --> 00:39:14,060
Uh, Jalen Hurts was here.
867
00:39:14,060 --> 00:39:15,186
Go Birds.
Yeah.
868
00:39:15,186 --> 00:39:16,979
That alone makes
this event a success.
869
00:39:16,979 --> 00:39:18,230
The kids loved it.
870
00:39:18,230 --> 00:39:20,483
Anybody can execute
under perfect circumstances.
871
00:39:20,483 --> 00:39:23,027
You know how to improvise.
872
00:39:23,027 --> 00:39:25,654
Well, I do watch a lot of
Whose Line Is It Anyway?
873
00:39:25,654 --> 00:39:27,323
- Oh.
- It's usually Wayne Brady's.
874
00:39:27,323 --> 00:39:29,825
Right? I know.
Right?
875
00:39:31,327 --> 00:39:32,161
Yeah.
876
00:39:32,161 --> 00:39:34,497
Ooh, this look is a slay, Mrs. Howard.
877
00:39:34,497 --> 00:39:37,208
It's giving grade A baddie.
878
00:39:37,208 --> 00:39:40,002
Well, period to that.
879
00:39:41,087 --> 00:39:43,297
I could never do this on my own every day,
880
00:39:43,297 --> 00:39:45,966
but it's nice to see
what I could look like.
881
00:39:45,966 --> 00:39:47,426
Thank you.
882
00:39:47,968 --> 00:39:48,969
Oh.
883
00:39:52,181 --> 00:39:53,182
Gerald.
884
00:39:53,182 --> 00:39:56,018
Honey, grab your gators,
'cause we are going out tonight
885
00:39:56,018 --> 00:39:58,604
'cause mama looks good, baby.
886
00:40:06,821 --> 00:40:08,114
Okay, let's keep some order.
887
00:40:09,615 --> 00:40:10,616
That'll be it.
888
00:40:17,915 --> 00:40:20,626
Okay, really think about
the career you wanna pursue.
889
00:40:20,626 --> 00:40:23,629
Also remember,
superhero, not really a career.
890
00:40:25,089 --> 00:40:26,841
Hey.
- Hey.
891
00:40:26,841 --> 00:40:27,925
Hey.
892
00:40:27,925 --> 00:40:30,177
Uh, how do you feel
about your first Career Day?
893
00:40:30,177 --> 00:40:31,387
Oh. You know, it was--
894
00:40:31,971 --> 00:40:34,306
It was actually good. The kids loved it.
895
00:40:34,306 --> 00:40:36,684
Well, you should feel
really great about it.
896
00:40:36,684 --> 00:40:38,561
And that botanist
that you brought in taught me
897
00:40:38,561 --> 00:40:40,980
how to use borage as a cover crop
to improve the soil.
898
00:40:40,980 --> 00:40:43,607
We're about to have some
of the richest radishes in Philly.
899
00:40:45,109 --> 00:40:46,485
I'm sorry. You--
900
00:40:46,485 --> 00:40:50,030
You just are the only person I know
that gets this excited about radishes.
901
00:40:50,030 --> 00:40:51,740
Well, it's one of
the only foods that I love.
902
00:40:51,740 --> 00:40:53,159
- It's dry, bitter. It's...
- Bitter.
903
00:40:53,159 --> 00:40:55,453
- Yeah. I know.
- ...perfect as a whole. Yeah.
904
00:40:55,453 --> 00:40:56,912
Your fave.
905
00:40:58,581 --> 00:40:59,665
I miss this.
906
00:41:01,500 --> 00:41:04,503
Just chatting about our days. It's...
907
00:41:05,254 --> 00:41:07,214
Oh, my God. Me too.
908
00:41:07,923 --> 00:41:08,924
So much.
909
00:41:08,924 --> 00:41:12,178
Like anytime anything happens here,
I want to tell you about it.
910
00:41:12,178 --> 00:41:13,345
- Really?
- Yes.
911
00:41:13,345 --> 00:41:15,473
Like earlier with Melissa and Gary.
912
00:41:15,473 --> 00:41:16,891
- She said no to him...
- Yeah. Mm-hmm.
913
00:41:16,891 --> 00:41:18,058
...in front of the Eagles.
914
00:41:18,058 --> 00:41:20,811
- I just wanted to tell you immediately--
- Just-- Wow, that's--
915
00:41:21,562 --> 00:41:22,605
Okay.
916
00:41:22,605 --> 00:41:24,315
Yeah, 'cause the vibes were just off.
917
00:41:24,315 --> 00:41:25,649
Yeah, it was weird.
918
00:41:26,692 --> 00:41:28,527
I was kind of just giving you your space.
919
00:41:30,488 --> 00:41:31,489
I noticed that.
920
00:41:33,574 --> 00:41:34,700
Why?
921
00:41:37,203 --> 00:41:40,831
I thought our conversation
was the reason why you left.
922
00:41:42,917 --> 00:41:43,918
Oh, my God.
923
00:41:44,585 --> 00:41:47,338
N-No. No, no, no, no.
924
00:41:47,338 --> 00:41:49,715
I really respected what you said.
925
00:41:50,508 --> 00:41:54,094
I only left because I wanted
to try working for the district.
926
00:41:54,094 --> 00:41:55,262
That was it.
927
00:41:59,642 --> 00:42:00,935
Well, that's good to hear.
928
00:42:00,935 --> 00:42:02,394
Okay.
929
00:42:03,687 --> 00:42:06,190
So I heard you got caught under a tarp.
930
00:42:08,317 --> 00:42:10,611
What, do you have
like a Google Alert for me?
931
00:42:10,611 --> 00:42:13,781
No, I have a Google Alert
for humiliating tarp incidents.
932
00:42:13,781 --> 00:42:14,949
Hmm.
933
00:42:14,949 --> 00:42:17,243
Don't you have a lot of work
to do at the district?
934
00:42:18,827 --> 00:42:21,497
Right when I thought
I was finally a made man,
935
00:42:21,497 --> 00:42:23,457
they had the audacity to try and whack me.
936
00:42:23,457 --> 00:42:24,833
Can you believe that?
937
00:42:24,833 --> 00:42:27,545
So after making short work of those goons,
938
00:42:27,545 --> 00:42:31,382
I left Sicily, officially became
an American citizen and landed here.
939
00:42:31,966 --> 00:42:33,384
I tried about 400 careers
940
00:42:33,384 --> 00:42:36,053
{\an8}until I picked up this mop
and never looked back.
941
00:42:37,054 --> 00:42:39,181
{\an8}I still can't look at tortellini the same.
942
00:42:39,807 --> 00:42:43,477
{\an8}Anyway, janitorial work
is self-explanatory.
943
00:42:43,477 --> 00:42:44,937
{\an8}You see me around.
944
00:42:45,437 --> 00:42:46,939
{\an8}You know what I do.
945
00:42:48,315 --> 00:42:52,027
Yeah! Whoo!
