﻿1
00:00:00,102 --> 00:00:02,205
Check out the new sub. Oof.

2
00:00:02,229 --> 00:00:03,832
Little bow tie. That
does not bode well.

3
00:00:03,856 --> 00:00:05,834
Uh, I beg to differ.

4
00:00:05,858 --> 00:00:07,335
You know how hard it
is to tie one of those?

5
00:00:07,359 --> 00:00:09,045
That man has already
persevered once today.

6
00:00:09,069 --> 00:00:10,213
I think he got this.

7
00:00:10,237 --> 00:00:12,063
Grand rising,
brother... All right.

8
00:00:12,088 --> 00:00:12,900
Sister... Mm.

9
00:00:12,925 --> 00:00:14,610
And ma'am.

10
00:00:14,912 --> 00:00:16,306
I'm Ethan Joyner, subbing
for the second grade.

11
00:00:16,330 --> 00:00:17,724
Thanks for coming in.

12
00:00:17,748 --> 00:00:18,767
You'll be right down the
hall and on the left.

13
00:00:18,791 --> 00:00:20,268
Okay. Thank you.

14
00:00:20,292 --> 00:00:22,061
He will be selling bean pies

15
00:00:22,085 --> 00:00:24,189
betwixt lanes of
traffic before lunch.

16
00:00:24,213 --> 00:00:26,983
Five bucks that he's gone
by the end of recess.

17
00:00:27,007 --> 00:00:28,860
You know what? Gregory
really needs a win today.

18
00:00:28,884 --> 00:00:30,069
I'll take that bet. All right.

19
00:00:30,093 --> 00:00:31,988
I just smelled a smelly smell

20
00:00:32,012 --> 00:00:34,699
that I've never
s-smelled before, and,

21
00:00:34,723 --> 00:00:36,743
and the doorknobs are so sticky!

22
00:00:36,767 --> 00:00:39,412
I think I just lost a
couple fingerprints.

23
00:00:39,436 --> 00:00:41,081
I forgot.

24
00:00:41,105 --> 00:00:42,791
I actually want to be a lawyer.

25
00:00:42,815 --> 00:00:44,542
But the kids ain't
even here yet.

26
00:00:44,566 --> 00:00:45,710
Mm-mm-mm. Mm-mm.

27
00:00:45,734 --> 00:00:47,253
It's a clip-on!

28
00:00:47,277 --> 00:00:51,549
A real bow-tie
bamboozle. Mm-hmm.

29
00:01:04,169 --> 00:01:05,980
You want to get a drink
at Rubies tonight?

30
00:01:06,004 --> 00:01:07,732
Uh, yeah. I'm down.

31
00:01:07,756 --> 00:01:09,609
Did y'all not check out
Sabrina's yesterday?

32
00:01:09,633 --> 00:01:11,694
Oh, we did. Yeah. Did
you mention my name?

33
00:01:11,718 --> 00:01:14,697
Yeah. The staff had a
really loaded reaction.

34
00:01:14,721 --> 00:01:15,824
Bet you didn't have
to pay, though.

35
00:01:15,848 --> 00:01:18,701
Monetarily? No.
Emotionally, however...

36
00:01:18,725 --> 00:01:21,287
You know, you're a real
social butterfly lately.

37
00:01:21,311 --> 00:01:24,707
Takes me back to when I
used to stay out all night

38
00:01:24,731 --> 00:01:26,376
to avoid my problems.

39
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,086
But that was <i>last</i> week.

40
00:01:28,110 --> 00:01:31,464
Old gal still got it, huh?

41
00:01:31,488 --> 00:01:33,049
I mean young maiden.

42
00:01:33,073 --> 00:01:35,552
Hey, that's how
we roll, Mel Mel.

43
00:01:35,576 --> 00:01:38,579
Dudin' it up. Blokin' it back.

44
00:01:40,289 --> 00:01:41,957
Bro-ing it down.

45
00:01:43,834 --> 00:01:45,168
Really?

46
00:01:47,254 --> 00:01:49,607
Mr. Johnson: We used to
be the Three Musketeers.

47
00:01:49,631 --> 00:01:51,234
But now I'm one musketeer,

48
00:01:51,258 --> 00:01:54,112
and they're just two that
don't invite me to things.

49
00:01:54,136 --> 00:01:56,406
Hey, there. How you doing?

50
00:01:56,430 --> 00:01:57,866
I'm Melissa Schemmenti.

51
00:01:57,890 --> 00:01:58,908
I'm the other second
grade teacher,

52
00:01:58,932 --> 00:02:00,743
so I just wanted to
pop over and say hi

53
00:02:00,767 --> 00:02:02,412
and let you know I'm
right across the hall.

54
00:02:02,436 --> 00:02:03,955
Thanks. In case
you need anything.

55
00:02:03,979 --> 00:02:05,498
Okay. I doubt I'll
have any issues.

56
00:02:05,522 --> 00:02:07,458
I used to be a kid. I think
I can handle a dozen me's.

57
00:02:07,482 --> 00:02:09,711
Well, you know, this
is a public school,

58
00:02:09,735 --> 00:02:11,754
so there's gonna be
like 30 of yo use there.

59
00:02:11,778 --> 00:02:12,964
Thirty?

60
00:02:12,988 --> 00:02:13,965
Yeah. Wow.

61
00:02:13,989 --> 00:02:15,967
That's three groups of ten.

62
00:02:15,991 --> 00:02:18,303
Hey, you're qualified
to take classes here.

63
00:02:18,327 --> 00:02:19,721
Yeah. Well, thanks
for checking in. Yeah.

64
00:02:19,745 --> 00:02:21,306
I'm gonna be the best temp
these parts have ever seen.

65
00:02:21,330 --> 00:02:22,849
You mean sub.

66
00:02:22,873 --> 00:02:25,935
I did mean sub. Yeah.

67
00:02:25,959 --> 00:02:28,354
But not all of us can remember
the right words every time.

68
00:02:28,378 --> 00:02:31,107
Um, how long you been a sub?

69
00:02:31,131 --> 00:02:32,692
Ever since I got my gift card

70
00:02:32,716 --> 00:02:34,944
gift certificate...
teaching certificate.

71
00:02:34,968 --> 00:02:37,780
Teaching... feels like a gift.

72
00:02:40,807 --> 00:02:42,785
Okay, y'all. Good job today.

73
00:02:42,809 --> 00:02:44,996
And remember, practicing is more
important than your homework.

74
00:02:45,020 --> 00:02:46,497
And if any of your
teachers disagree,

75
00:02:46,521 --> 00:02:48,041
I can and will fire them.

76
00:02:48,065 --> 00:02:51,085
Well, I hope the gym is
to everyone's liking.

77
00:02:51,109 --> 00:02:55,757
I find the acoustics
to be delicious.

78
00:02:55,781 --> 00:02:58,718
Well, Sister Howard,
with a little practice,

79
00:02:58,742 --> 00:03:01,429
our voices will ring louder
than that lipstick of yours.

80
00:03:03,221 --> 00:03:05,908
My church choir is going to be
rehearsing in the school gym

81
00:03:05,932 --> 00:03:09,244
because they found mold in
the church rehearsal room.

82
00:03:09,268 --> 00:03:11,163
So I'm graciously
letting them use

83
00:03:11,187 --> 00:03:14,041
the freshly named Ava
Coleman Memorial Coliseum

84
00:03:14,065 --> 00:03:17,169
for a very reasonable
yet expensive price.

85
00:03:17,193 --> 00:03:19,046
All right, choir.

86
00:03:19,070 --> 00:03:21,840
The announcement of
the closing number

87
00:03:21,864 --> 00:03:24,676
for the Triumphant Love Concert.

88
00:03:24,700 --> 00:03:27,554
After careful deliberation
and consultation,

89
00:03:27,578 --> 00:03:30,390
we are going to
sing... "Shackles."

90
00:03:30,414 --> 00:03:32,559
Oh! Just imagine.

91
00:03:32,583 --> 00:03:36,271
One woman will harness
the power of two Marys!

92
00:03:36,295 --> 00:03:38,065
Right you are,
Sister Howard. Yes!

93
00:03:38,089 --> 00:03:39,942
And we all know
there's only one woman

94
00:03:39,966 --> 00:03:43,028
who can lead us through those
melodious pastures. Yes.

95
00:03:43,052 --> 00:03:44,887
Sheila!

96
00:03:49,058 --> 00:03:51,495
Congratulations,
Sheila. Ava: Ooh, ooh.

97
00:03:51,519 --> 00:03:52,913
Have y'all heard the mash-up

98
00:03:52,937 --> 00:03:55,040
between "Shackles"
and "Poundtown"?

99
00:03:55,064 --> 00:03:57,501
You are not gonna believe what
she took the shackles off of.

100
00:03:57,525 --> 00:03:59,711
Guess.

101
00:04:00,945 --> 00:04:03,131
Ah! I love it here!

102
00:04:03,155 --> 00:04:06,552
It's like "Cheers"...
except nobody knows my name.

103
00:04:06,576 --> 00:04:07,845
Hey. I'm gonna go close out.

104
00:04:07,869 --> 00:04:09,638
Oh, close out? Not
so fast, <i>mon frère.</i>

105
00:04:09,662 --> 00:04:12,349
I'm trying to get another round!

106
00:04:12,373 --> 00:04:15,394
Of water. The drinks
here are a wee bit pricy.

107
00:04:15,418 --> 00:04:17,396
Don't you think it's getting a
little late for a school night?

108
00:04:17,420 --> 00:04:18,605
It's okay.

109
00:04:18,629 --> 00:04:20,858
I will caffeinate to
the gods tomorrow.

110
00:04:20,882 --> 00:04:22,651
Besides, I think
Zach's still awake,

111
00:04:22,675 --> 00:04:24,069
so I kind of want
to wait that out.

112
00:04:24,093 --> 00:04:25,904
Oh, what's going on?
You all in a fight?

113
00:04:25,928 --> 00:04:27,865
Didn't nobody tell you to stay
out of gay folks' business?

114
00:04:27,889 --> 00:04:29,324
Now, you know
that's not the same.

115
00:04:29,348 --> 00:04:31,118
Fine.

116
00:04:31,142 --> 00:04:33,579
Yeah, we've... we've been
arguing a bit more lately,

117
00:04:33,603 --> 00:04:35,497
but that's normal.

118
00:04:35,521 --> 00:04:36,790
You have your honeymoon phase

119
00:04:36,814 --> 00:04:38,125
and then your "I'm
in Hell" phase

120
00:04:38,149 --> 00:04:39,835
and then "I guess we're
stuck here" phase.

121
00:04:39,859 --> 00:04:42,087
And then you get married,
and then you die.

122
00:04:42,111 --> 00:04:44,006
Well, how long has
this been going on?

123
00:04:44,030 --> 00:04:45,507
Mm, about a month.

124
00:04:45,531 --> 00:04:47,509
Wait. No. February
is almost over.

125
00:04:47,533 --> 00:04:49,928
So... I'd say seven months.

126
00:04:49,952 --> 00:04:51,245
Seven months?

127
00:04:52,496 --> 00:04:55,225
We're bored, I guess.

128
00:04:55,249 --> 00:04:57,186
We go entire days
without talking.

129
00:04:57,210 --> 00:04:59,313
And when we do, we're
just kind of pretending

130
00:04:59,337 --> 00:05:00,981
to still be into each other.

131
00:05:01,005 --> 00:05:02,816
And when we're not
bored, we're bickering.

132
00:05:02,840 --> 00:05:04,568
I don't know. It's
just... It's not working.

133
00:05:04,592 --> 00:05:06,403
It's like a DC movie over here.

134
00:05:06,427 --> 00:05:08,780
I-I don't want to overstep,

135
00:05:08,804 --> 00:05:11,909
but at this point, if
you're avoiding going home,

136
00:05:11,933 --> 00:05:13,911
you might want to
consider breaking up.

137
00:05:13,935 --> 00:05:15,871
Well, when you put it like that,

138
00:05:15,895 --> 00:05:17,855
I guess it's pretty
obvious, huh?

139
00:05:19,148 --> 00:05:21,001
Oh! Nice!

140
00:05:21,025 --> 00:05:22,025
I got one!

141
00:05:26,530 --> 00:05:31,470
♪ Take the shackles off
my feet so I can dance ♪

142
00:05:31,494 --> 00:05:32,721
♪ I just want to praise You ♪

143
00:05:32,745 --> 00:05:33,972
♪ What you gonna do? ♪

144
00:05:33,996 --> 00:05:36,683
♪ I'm gonna praise
You ♪ Damn, Barb!

145
00:05:36,707 --> 00:05:38,435
You were robbed of that solo.

146
00:05:38,459 --> 00:05:40,729
Sister Sipp picks who she
thinks should sing the solos

147
00:05:40,753 --> 00:05:42,773
based upon who she thinks
is gonna sing it best.

148
00:05:42,797 --> 00:05:45,192
And it just so
happens it's never me.

149
00:05:45,216 --> 00:05:46,610
That's just like my sorority.

150
00:05:46,634 --> 00:05:48,320
If you're not cool
with the mean girls,

151
00:05:48,344 --> 00:05:49,655
they'll have you all the way
at the back of the step show

152
00:05:49,679 --> 00:05:51,281
like the creepy
uncle at a wedding.

153
00:05:51,305 --> 00:05:52,908
But this is different.

154
00:05:52,932 --> 00:05:56,203
What is a choir if not
a sorority for the Lord?

155
00:05:56,227 --> 00:05:59,289
While I do not agree,
I see your point.

156
00:05:59,313 --> 00:06:02,042
At the next rehearsal, you
need to ask for what you want.

157
00:06:02,066 --> 00:06:05,069
You got to walk in there
like "I am <i>that</i> girl."

158
00:06:07,213 --> 00:06:09,107
I am <i>that</i> woman.

159
00:06:09,132 --> 00:06:09,777
That girl.

160
00:06:09,801 --> 00:06:12,320
I am <i>that</i> lady.

161
00:06:12,344 --> 00:06:15,073
It's just that that doesn't
really hit the same.

162
00:06:15,097 --> 00:06:16,181
That girl.

163
00:06:17,516 --> 00:06:19,744
That girl. Yes.

164
00:06:23,730 --> 00:06:25,958
Is everything all right?!

165
00:06:25,982 --> 00:06:27,460
For sure.

166
00:06:27,484 --> 00:06:29,796
Been using tactics I
read in a book I heard.

167
00:06:29,820 --> 00:06:34,384
You know, sometimes it feels
like <i>I'm</i> the one teaching <i>them.</i>

168
00:06:34,408 --> 00:06:37,553
Where did you say you got
your teacher's certification?

169
00:06:37,577 --> 00:06:38,888
I didn't.

170
00:06:38,912 --> 00:06:40,556
You didn't get
your certification?

171
00:06:40,580 --> 00:06:43,685
No, I didn't say. Hey, you
want to get in on this?

172
00:06:43,709 --> 00:06:49,709
Aah!

173
00:06:50,090 --> 00:06:52,735
We can't bill them.

174
00:06:52,759 --> 00:06:55,571
Hey, Melissa. Look, I'm
completely underwater

175
00:06:55,595 --> 00:06:57,281
and just in the middle of an
impossible decision right now.

176
00:06:57,305 --> 00:06:58,533
What's up? Okay.

177
00:06:58,557 --> 00:07:00,243
There's a phony
subbing for your class.

178
00:07:00,267 --> 00:07:02,245
Oh, my goodness.
Are the kids okay?

179
00:07:02,269 --> 00:07:04,205
Yeah, they're fine,
but there is no way

180
00:07:04,229 --> 00:07:05,540
this person has a
teaching certificate.

181
00:07:05,564 --> 00:07:07,291
Melissa, are you sure?

182
00:07:07,315 --> 00:07:09,252
I mean, I cannot be
weird about another sub.

183
00:07:09,276 --> 00:07:12,463
Please just look up
Cassidy Jeffrey for me.

184
00:07:12,487 --> 00:07:13,756
Okay. But you owe me one.

185
00:07:13,780 --> 00:07:15,508
I'm hanging up now.

186
00:07:15,532 --> 00:07:17,593
All right.

187
00:07:17,617 --> 00:07:22,306
I didn't get in this position by
shying away from bold choices.

188
00:07:22,330 --> 00:07:25,726
Put me down for the Waldorf
salad, extra grapes.

189
00:07:25,750 --> 00:07:27,878
Damn it, Janine.
You've done it again.

190
00:07:29,004 --> 00:07:30,773
Them doughnuts are
gonna kill you.

191
00:07:30,797 --> 00:07:32,692
Mm-hmm. You know that, right?

192
00:07:38,180 --> 00:07:39,639
Witchyo nosy ass.

193
00:07:44,728 --> 00:07:47,165
Well, I did it. You
broke up with him?

194
00:07:47,189 --> 00:07:48,875
What? No. Never.

195
00:07:48,899 --> 00:07:51,377
I started the process of
getting <i>him</i> to break up with <i>me.</i>

196
00:07:51,401 --> 00:07:52,670
By telling him that you're
unhappy in the relationship?

197
00:07:52,694 --> 00:07:54,213
Uh, no.

198
00:07:54,237 --> 00:07:55,590
By doing things that I
know he doesn't like.

199
00:07:55,614 --> 00:07:57,842
For example, when I just got
out of the car right now,

200
00:07:57,866 --> 00:07:59,177
I did not say goodbye.

201
00:07:59,201 --> 00:08:00,553
He hates that.

202
00:08:00,577 --> 00:08:02,096
So you did nothing.

203
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,557
Trust me, this is
not nothing, okay?

204
00:08:04,581 --> 00:08:07,560
If I know him, he is
absolutely fuming right now.

205
00:08:07,584 --> 00:08:09,711
I can't watch.

206
00:08:17,636 --> 00:08:20,114
Hey, man, you got a second?
Uh, I'm kind of busy.

207
00:08:20,138 --> 00:08:21,157
I got to finish
watching the Eras Tour.

208
00:08:21,181 --> 00:08:22,575
When Zach finds out I
watched it without him,

209
00:08:22,599 --> 00:08:24,410
we are gonna have bad blood.

210
00:08:24,434 --> 00:08:27,079
I said we're gonna have bad...
Yeah, I heard you. Um, look.

211
00:08:27,103 --> 00:08:28,498
I don't think
you're gonna end up

212
00:08:28,522 --> 00:08:30,082
feeling really good about
what you're doing here.

213
00:08:30,106 --> 00:08:31,667
I don't. I feel terrible.

214
00:08:31,691 --> 00:08:32,710
Then why are you doing it?

215
00:08:32,734 --> 00:08:34,212
Because I love Zach,

216
00:08:34,236 --> 00:08:35,963
and if I break up with
him, it will crush him.

217
00:08:35,987 --> 00:08:38,007
And so I'm doing this for him.

218
00:08:38,031 --> 00:08:39,550
Okay.

219
00:08:39,574 --> 00:08:41,677
Maybe I should stay out
of gay folks' business,

220
00:08:41,701 --> 00:08:44,305
but you can't actually
think this is gonna work.

221
00:08:44,329 --> 00:08:46,265
Would some positive
reinforcement kill you?

222
00:08:46,289 --> 00:08:47,975
I have never broken
up with someone, okay?

223
00:08:47,999 --> 00:08:49,143
I don't even know how to do it.

224
00:08:49,167 --> 00:08:50,895
Uh, "Hey, Zach,
neither of us is happy,

225
00:08:50,919 --> 00:08:52,688
and so I think we
should break up"?

226
00:08:52,712 --> 00:08:54,440
That's pretty much exactly
it. Well, you would know.

227
00:08:54,464 --> 00:08:55,691
You're, like, the only person

228
00:08:55,715 --> 00:08:57,676
who's been dumped more
times than I have.

229
00:08:58,857 --> 00:09:00,626
My time for caring
about this has expired.

230
00:09:00,650 --> 00:09:01,836
Wait. No, no, no.

231
00:09:01,860 --> 00:09:03,045
You said what you
said. I heard you.

232
00:09:03,069 --> 00:09:04,487
I... Mm-hmm.

233
00:09:07,699 --> 00:09:09,302
What do you got for me, kid?

234
00:09:09,326 --> 00:09:12,513
Not only can I not find a
sub cert for Cassidy Jeffrey,

235
00:09:12,537 --> 00:09:14,598
there's not even a Cassidy
Jeffrey in the system.

236
00:09:14,622 --> 00:09:16,142
I knew it. Okay.

237
00:09:16,166 --> 00:09:18,602
Are you on your way down
here now to bury their ass?

238
00:09:18,626 --> 00:09:20,396
Just hold your horsies, okay?

239
00:09:20,420 --> 00:09:22,857
<i>I will be there when I
can, but they need me here.</i>

240
00:09:22,881 --> 00:09:23,858
What...

241
00:09:27,677 --> 00:09:30,239
Oh, sorry. I had
to take that call.

242
00:09:30,263 --> 00:09:31,574
We saw you dial.

243
00:09:31,598 --> 00:09:34,785
Emily, I swear to God.

244
00:09:34,809 --> 00:09:38,664
Barbara, is that a new
ear piercing I see?

245
00:09:38,688 --> 00:09:41,292
No, Sister Sloss.
It's the same one.

246
00:09:41,316 --> 00:09:42,734
You mean the same several.

247
00:09:46,446 --> 00:09:50,468
Before we begin, I'd like
to throw my hat in the ring

248
00:09:50,492 --> 00:09:52,636
as lead singer on "Shackles."

249
00:09:52,660 --> 00:09:55,097
I've been in the choir
for quite some time now,

250
00:09:55,121 --> 00:09:57,933
and I think that I
deserve a chance.

251
00:09:57,957 --> 00:09:59,644
Well, that's rather unorthodox,

252
00:09:59,668 --> 00:10:01,851
but I shouldn't
say I'm surprised.

253
00:10:01,976 --> 00:10:05,372
In order for us to get a better
sense of your vocal stylings,

254
00:10:05,396 --> 00:10:07,916
why don't you sing
"O Happy Day"?

255
00:10:07,940 --> 00:10:10,085
Oh. A curve ball.

256
00:10:10,109 --> 00:10:11,878
♪ O happy day... ♪

257
00:10:11,902 --> 00:10:13,463
Thank you!

258
00:10:13,487 --> 00:10:14,923
That was beautiful.

259
00:10:14,947 --> 00:10:17,384
However, "Shackles" is
more in Sheila's key,

260
00:10:17,408 --> 00:10:19,243
so I think we'll stick with her.

261
00:10:20,536 --> 00:10:21,972
I understand.

262
00:10:21,996 --> 00:10:23,598
I don't.

263
00:10:23,622 --> 00:10:25,309
And this time it's not because
I wasn't paying attention.

264
00:10:25,333 --> 00:10:28,395
Ava, please. Just calm down.

265
00:10:28,419 --> 00:10:30,355
Nah! 'Cause they ain't gonna
be lying in my coliseum.

266
00:10:30,379 --> 00:10:33,608
No, no. They have
made up their minds.

267
00:10:33,632 --> 00:10:35,027
It's fine.

268
00:10:35,051 --> 00:10:36,695
This is ridiculous.
I've heard Sheila sing.

269
00:10:36,719 --> 00:10:38,447
What she does to those
songs, it's not right.

270
00:10:38,471 --> 00:10:39,781
It's not of the Lord.

271
00:10:39,805 --> 00:10:41,533
Well, sometimes
she does sound like

272
00:10:41,557 --> 00:10:43,452
<i>she's</i> the one up on the cross.

273
00:10:43,476 --> 00:10:45,203
That's a good one. Let's
go back in and say that.

274
00:10:45,227 --> 00:10:47,372
No.

275
00:10:47,396 --> 00:10:51,233
Ava, I tried. Let's
just leave it alone.

276
00:10:57,531 --> 00:11:00,385
Well, the plan continues
to work flawlessly.

277
00:11:00,409 --> 00:11:02,888
Last night, I focused on the
most passive-aggressive room

278
00:11:02,912 --> 00:11:04,890
in our one-bedroom
apartment... the kitchen.

279
00:11:04,914 --> 00:11:07,142
I didn't squeeze out the sponge.

280
00:11:07,166 --> 00:11:08,894
I left the microwave door open.

281
00:11:08,918 --> 00:11:11,438
As if that wasn't
enough, I made toast.

282
00:11:11,462 --> 00:11:13,774
I took a knife, and
I spread the butter,

283
00:11:13,798 --> 00:11:15,817
and then I took that same
knife and I got some jelly.

284
00:11:15,841 --> 00:11:19,863
I left everything out, and
then I took a big old bite.

285
00:11:19,887 --> 00:11:23,307
Crumbs, like, everywhere.

286
00:11:30,064 --> 00:11:32,042
It's frightening how
good I am at all of this.

287
00:11:32,066 --> 00:11:35,462
It's, um... I'm s...
I'm scaring myself.

288
00:11:35,486 --> 00:11:36,797
All right. We got
to do this quickly.

289
00:11:36,821 --> 00:11:38,090
Pulled out of an early meeting.

290
00:11:38,114 --> 00:11:39,383
Told them I had to
go feed the meter.

291
00:11:39,407 --> 00:11:40,884
Don't you guys
have a parking lot?

292
00:11:40,908 --> 00:11:42,177
They knew I was lying. Ready?

293
00:11:42,201 --> 00:11:43,845
Oh, absolutely.

294
00:11:43,869 --> 00:11:45,847
You know, most people
calm down over time,

295
00:11:45,871 --> 00:11:48,016
but I just get angrier
and less rational.

296
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,102
That's concerning.

297
00:11:50,126 --> 00:11:53,313
Oh. Hello, Melissa and...

298
00:11:53,337 --> 00:11:56,024
Your worst nightmare.
The jig is up, Jeffrey.

299
00:11:56,048 --> 00:11:57,859
I actually work at
the school district.

300
00:11:57,883 --> 00:12:00,153
And guess who isn't in
the substitute database?

301
00:12:00,177 --> 00:12:01,613
Who? You.

302
00:12:01,637 --> 00:12:03,073
I don't know what
you're talking about.

303
00:12:03,097 --> 00:12:04,074
I've subbed all over Philly.

304
00:12:04,098 --> 00:12:05,659
Oh, yeah? What schools?

305
00:12:05,683 --> 00:12:07,869
Washington.
Jefferson. Roosevelt.

306
00:12:07,893 --> 00:12:09,329
McKinley. Roosevelt again.

307
00:12:09,353 --> 00:12:10,664
Okay. You're just
naming presidents.

308
00:12:10,688 --> 00:12:11,873
You're out of here. Yeah.

309
00:12:11,897 --> 00:12:13,583
I've searched every
employment file

310
00:12:13,607 --> 00:12:16,211
that the district has,
and there's no record

311
00:12:16,235 --> 00:12:18,279
of a Cassidy...

312
00:12:20,739 --> 00:12:22,175
Is it "Gee-oh-free"?

313
00:12:22,199 --> 00:12:24,160
It's pronounced "Jeffrey."

314
00:12:26,078 --> 00:12:28,974
But it isn't <i>spelled</i>
that way, now, is it?

315
00:12:28,998 --> 00:12:32,102
And... And I bet if I
spelled it correctly

316
00:12:32,126 --> 00:12:35,522
that there would be a record
of you at the district.

317
00:12:35,546 --> 00:12:37,315
Yeah, you really
stepped in it this time,

318
00:12:37,339 --> 00:12:39,025
didn't you, Teagues?

319
00:12:39,049 --> 00:12:40,467
So, is that the German spelling?

320
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,054
<i>Ja.</i>

321
00:12:45,473 --> 00:12:47,617
It's finally gonna be over soon.

322
00:12:47,641 --> 00:12:49,453
Zach just sent a text that
said, "We need to talk,"

323
00:12:49,477 --> 00:12:51,538
and he should be
here momentarily.

324
00:12:51,562 --> 00:12:52,664
You shouldn't have doubted me.

325
00:12:52,688 --> 00:12:54,541
My plan worked, and
your plan shorked.

326
00:12:54,565 --> 00:12:57,127
Not a word. I just came
to get my pen I forgot.

327
00:12:57,151 --> 00:12:58,795
Hey, Gregory!

328
00:12:58,819 --> 00:13:00,797
Oh, hey, Zach. I just came to
grab my pen and I'll be out.

329
00:13:00,821 --> 00:13:02,507
You seemed really, uh, stressed

330
00:13:02,531 --> 00:13:04,718
in your text. What did
you want to talk about?

331
00:13:04,742 --> 00:13:07,387
Jacob, I've been rather
frustrated and confused.

332
00:13:07,411 --> 00:13:10,015
Well, that seems really...
frustrating and confusing.

333
00:13:10,039 --> 00:13:11,516
And you don't deserve
to feel that way.

334
00:13:11,540 --> 00:13:12,809
My brother, if I could just...

335
00:13:12,833 --> 00:13:15,020
Jacob, I didn't think
it would come to this,

336
00:13:15,044 --> 00:13:17,314
but I think we should go
to couples counseling.

337
00:13:17,338 --> 00:13:19,173
I wanna break up!

338
00:13:25,095 --> 00:13:27,932
This is exactly why
I'm not in a throuple.

339
00:13:30,226 --> 00:13:32,621
You want to break up? What?
You want to break up? What?

340
00:13:32,645 --> 00:13:34,456
Jacob, you said you
wanted to break up.

341
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,208
Are you sure you
didn't say it first?

342
00:13:36,232 --> 00:13:38,001
Because I-I think you did.

343
00:13:38,025 --> 00:13:40,629
And if that's the case,
I-I totally understand.

344
00:13:40,653 --> 00:13:42,005
I'm glad you got
that off your chest.

345
00:13:42,029 --> 00:13:44,925
Jacob, what's going on?

346
00:13:44,949 --> 00:13:46,617
Are you breaking up with me?

347
00:13:50,454 --> 00:13:52,390
Yes. I don't think

348
00:13:52,414 --> 00:13:54,517
we should be together.

349
00:13:54,541 --> 00:13:56,603
I'm sorry.

350
00:13:56,627 --> 00:13:58,480
We haven't been happy
for a long time, okay?

351
00:13:58,504 --> 00:14:00,649
I felt it. I know you felt it.

352
00:14:00,673 --> 00:14:02,567
I don't think either
of us wanted to admit

353
00:14:02,591 --> 00:14:04,361
that this is what
needs to happen.

354
00:14:04,385 --> 00:14:08,907
In my heart of hearts, if
I'm being completely honest,

355
00:14:08,931 --> 00:14:10,784
maybe I just brought
up couples therapy

356
00:14:10,808 --> 00:14:12,911
because I was too afraid
to rip off the bandage.

357
00:14:12,935 --> 00:14:15,104
Mm.

358
00:14:16,814 --> 00:14:17,958
This sucks.

359
00:14:17,982 --> 00:14:19,233
Yeah.

360
00:14:22,369 --> 00:14:27,058
I mean... thank you
for being upfront.

361
00:14:27,082 --> 00:14:28,309
That took guts.

362
00:14:28,333 --> 00:14:30,520
Well... don't give
me too much credit.

363
00:14:30,544 --> 00:14:32,439
I've... I've been so scared.

364
00:14:32,463 --> 00:14:34,774
I've been trying to get
you to break up with me.

365
00:14:34,798 --> 00:14:36,341
Sorry. What?

366
00:14:38,010 --> 00:14:40,905
Well, actually, it's...
it's really funny.

367
00:14:40,929 --> 00:14:43,742
Like, because I've been
trying to drive you nuts

368
00:14:43,766 --> 00:14:45,493
so that you would
break up with me.

369
00:14:45,517 --> 00:14:49,289
Is that why you've been
buying two of every condiment

370
00:14:49,313 --> 00:14:52,542
despite our limited
fridge and cabinet space?

371
00:14:52,566 --> 00:14:54,169
No. That was... That
was a genuine mistake

372
00:14:54,193 --> 00:14:55,587
each and every time.

373
00:14:55,611 --> 00:14:58,715
But, uh, everything else
was kinda on purpose.

374
00:14:58,739 --> 00:15:02,343
Jacob Hill, you sick bitch.

375
00:15:02,367 --> 00:15:04,345
You just released the kraken.

376
00:15:04,369 --> 00:15:06,222
Ca-caw!

377
00:15:06,246 --> 00:15:07,766
The kraken isn't a
bird. It's a sea mons...

378
00:15:07,790 --> 00:15:10,101
Quiet, sweet prince.

379
00:15:10,125 --> 00:15:13,104
I don't have to care
about that anymore.

380
00:15:13,128 --> 00:15:16,900
And FYI... Your
facts were never fun,

381
00:15:16,924 --> 00:15:19,235
composting is disgusting,

382
00:15:19,259 --> 00:15:22,679
and you held our team
back at trivia night.

383
00:15:24,973 --> 00:15:27,142
♪ Oh, my God ♪

384
00:15:32,356 --> 00:15:34,000
Jacob: You were right.

385
00:15:34,024 --> 00:15:35,210
I was.

386
00:15:35,234 --> 00:15:37,378
I should have talked
to him immediately.

387
00:15:37,402 --> 00:15:38,402
You should've.

388
00:15:39,780 --> 00:15:41,257
You came back for me.

389
00:15:41,281 --> 00:15:43,033
Came back for my pen.

390
00:15:55,087 --> 00:15:57,840
Yeah, I guess I do
have other pens.

391
00:16:02,803 --> 00:16:04,447
Oh. There you are.

392
00:16:04,471 --> 00:16:06,282
Here is the key to the gym.

393
00:16:06,306 --> 00:16:08,910
I will not be sticking around
to overhear those old biddies

394
00:16:08,934 --> 00:16:10,829
praying for the curbs
to stop being so high.

395
00:16:10,853 --> 00:16:12,229
Thanks, Ava.

396
00:16:13,397 --> 00:16:15,542
I know why my sorority
sisters don't like me.

397
00:16:15,566 --> 00:16:18,193
But why don't those church
ladies like you, Barb?

398
00:16:19,903 --> 00:16:22,215
I'm too modern for them.

399
00:16:22,239 --> 00:16:25,093
I am not Christian
enough for them.

400
00:16:25,117 --> 00:16:26,845
All because you got
a few piercings?

401
00:16:26,869 --> 00:16:28,638
If anybody can appreciate
a few extra holes

402
00:16:28,662 --> 00:16:30,056
in their bodies, it's Jesus.

403
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,559
It is not just
about the piercings.

404
00:16:32,583 --> 00:16:34,936
It is the jazz
nights with Gerald.

405
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:36,646
It's the all-inclusive cruises

406
00:16:36,670 --> 00:16:38,898
where Sea Barbara pokes
her little head out.

407
00:16:38,922 --> 00:16:41,609
And not to mention that...

408
00:16:41,633 --> 00:16:46,948
I'm friends with some of
Abbott's more colorful teachers.

409
00:16:46,972 --> 00:16:48,032
Why do you even want to
be part of that choir

410
00:16:48,056 --> 00:16:49,576
if that's how they treat you?

411
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,662
Because when I'm singing, that's
when I feel closest to God.

412
00:16:52,686 --> 00:16:56,749
And... when my kids were younger,
you know, balancing it all,

413
00:16:56,773 --> 00:16:58,877
it was... it was rough.

414
00:16:58,901 --> 00:17:01,421
So one day I didn't
go to church.

415
00:17:01,445 --> 00:17:03,089
And then the next week,
we didn't go to church.

416
00:17:03,113 --> 00:17:05,341
And I just started to think

417
00:17:05,365 --> 00:17:09,470
if I could just give it all up
like that, what does that mean?

418
00:17:09,494 --> 00:17:12,473
Then I started questioning
my faith altogether.

419
00:17:12,497 --> 00:17:15,435
And then one day, I heard
"Shackles" on the radio.

420
00:17:15,459 --> 00:17:20,797
And that song... ooh! It
brought me back to church.

421
00:17:24,051 --> 00:17:26,863
"The testing of your faith
produces perseverance."

422
00:17:26,887 --> 00:17:29,157
Not you quoting scripture.

423
00:17:29,181 --> 00:17:32,410
Lord, He does work
in mysterious ways.

424
00:17:32,434 --> 00:17:33,870
Not that mysterious.

425
00:17:33,894 --> 00:17:35,747
You thought they could
keep me away from a place

426
00:17:35,771 --> 00:17:37,457
that passes out free
money on a free plate?

427
00:17:37,481 --> 00:17:40,960
You know something,
Ava? You are right.

428
00:17:40,984 --> 00:17:43,713
Ah. The Lord wants
me to persevere.

429
00:17:43,737 --> 00:17:47,091
He wants me to tell that story.

430
00:17:47,115 --> 00:17:48,259
Yes!

431
00:17:48,283 --> 00:17:50,386
Tell that story.

432
00:17:50,410 --> 00:17:52,037
That's not what I meant at all.

433
00:17:54,748 --> 00:17:57,352
Hey. How we doing, buddy?

434
00:17:57,376 --> 00:17:59,771
Not great. Turns out Zach
is the vengeful type.

435
00:17:59,795 --> 00:18:01,856
He shrunk all of my shrinkables,

436
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,317
which is pretty much
every sweater I own.

437
00:18:04,341 --> 00:18:05,902
And not only do I
need new clothes,

438
00:18:05,926 --> 00:18:09,239
but I also have to find a
new apartment... and soon.

439
00:18:09,263 --> 00:18:11,616
Zach has already started
writing a one-man show about me.

440
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,911
He's calling it "Fleabag,"
but with an "F."

441
00:18:14,935 --> 00:18:17,372
"Fleafaf"?

442
00:18:17,396 --> 00:18:19,207
No.

443
00:18:19,231 --> 00:18:21,233
I am so sick of you two.

444
00:18:23,026 --> 00:18:26,339
Um, why don't we go to
Rubensteins tonight?

445
00:18:26,363 --> 00:18:27,882
I should probably teach
you how to throw darts

446
00:18:27,906 --> 00:18:28,883
so you don't take
somebody's eye out.

447
00:18:28,907 --> 00:18:30,885
We can invite Janine.

448
00:18:30,909 --> 00:18:33,263
Yeah. That sounds nice.

449
00:18:33,287 --> 00:18:35,765
Hey, can... can you grab
that granola for me?

450
00:18:35,789 --> 00:18:38,917
It's on the top shelf, and I've
got this... situation happening.

451
00:18:42,504 --> 00:18:44,047
Yeah.

452
00:18:51,263 --> 00:18:53,908
Just came from
apologizing to the sub.

453
00:18:53,932 --> 00:18:55,660
Oh. It went well,

454
00:18:55,684 --> 00:18:58,579
but they are filing a complaint
with the school district.

455
00:18:58,603 --> 00:19:00,999
Just hope they spell
Teagues with two G's.

456
00:19:01,023 --> 00:19:03,251
I'm sorry I roped you
into this whole thing.

457
00:19:03,275 --> 00:19:05,420
I don't know whether it's
'cause I'm down to one class

458
00:19:05,444 --> 00:19:08,006
or I'm home by myself
all the time now or...

459
00:19:08,030 --> 00:19:09,591
I don't know... maybe
I'm just plain bored.

460
00:19:09,615 --> 00:19:11,509
Maybe you just miss getting
into classic high jinks

461
00:19:11,533 --> 00:19:12,760
with you and me.

462
00:19:12,784 --> 00:19:14,804
Nah. That's not it.

463
00:19:14,828 --> 00:19:15,829
It's the bored thing.

464
00:19:18,874 --> 00:19:20,268
So, did you tell them

465
00:19:20,292 --> 00:19:22,061
why "Shackles" was
so important to you?

466
00:19:22,085 --> 00:19:24,772
I did. They were unmoved.

467
00:19:24,796 --> 00:19:26,149
I knew they wouldn't go for it.

468
00:19:26,173 --> 00:19:27,775
Church ladies, sorority sisters,

469
00:19:27,799 --> 00:19:29,861
everyone who's ever worked at
a dermatologist's office...

470
00:19:29,885 --> 00:19:31,112
They're all the same.

471
00:19:31,136 --> 00:19:33,489
You know what? It's all right.

472
00:19:33,513 --> 00:19:36,743
I've learned not to
overlook my many blessings.

473
00:19:36,767 --> 00:19:40,455
Besides, I still get to perform
a song that means so much to me.

474
00:19:40,479 --> 00:19:42,457
And you get to do it twice.

475
00:19:42,481 --> 00:19:43,607
What do you mean?

476
00:19:45,942 --> 00:19:48,212
I threw together this little
surprise recital for Barb,

477
00:19:48,236 --> 00:19:50,631
because apparently you can't
key a church lady's car anymore?

478
00:19:50,655 --> 00:19:53,176
Well, go on in.

479
00:20:02,834 --> 00:20:05,188
<i>It sure is hot out
here.</i> Go, girl.

480
00:20:05,212 --> 00:20:08,024
<i>I don't mind, though.</i>

481
00:20:08,048 --> 00:20:10,151
<i>I'm just glad to be free.</i>

482
00:20:10,175 --> 00:20:11,694
<i>Know what I'm sayin'? Unh!</i>

483
00:20:11,718 --> 00:20:16,074

00:20:42,874 --> 00:20:45,186

I should've told Barbara
to stick to one song.

496
00:20:55,345 --> 00:20:56,406
She's going through
her whole discography.

497
00:20:56,430 --> 00:20:57,573
We've heard everything
from "We Shall Overcome"

498
00:20:57,597 --> 00:20:59,075
to "This Little Light of Mine."

499
00:20:59,099 --> 00:21:01,160
We can't keep going on with
all this biblical talk.

500
00:21:01,184 --> 00:21:02,703
This is a public
school, for God's sake.

501
00:21:02,727 --> 00:21:05,581
Barbara: Now, this next note
is called a whistle tone.

502
00:21:05,605 --> 00:21:07,875
Your first instinct might
be to cover your ears.

503
00:21:07,899 --> 00:21:09,919
Don't. ♪ Ahhh ♪

504
00:21:09,943 --> 00:21:11,838
Hey, Barb. Hey. Do you
know "Go Down, Moses"?

505
00:21:11,862 --> 00:21:13,256
Oh, yes.

506
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,341
'Cause I'mma need you
to let my people go.

507
00:21:15,365 --> 00:21:16,634
Ooh.

508
00:21:16,658 --> 00:21:17,677
Oh, yeah!

509
00:21:19,286 --> 00:21:22,414
Thank you. Thank you.

510
00:21:24,749 --> 00:21:27,544
