1
00:00:05,550 --> 00:00:07,423
- Where are we at with the veggies?
- Veggies?
2
00:00:07,424 --> 00:00:08,926
I was deconstructing the water ice.
3
00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:10,540
Are you [BLEEP] kidding me?
4
00:00:10,590 --> 00:00:13,920
We're pretty busy prepping for
open house, aka AVA Fest.
5
00:00:13,970 --> 00:00:16,050
Last year, we only served
various mac and cheeses,
6
00:00:16,100 --> 00:00:17,760
so this year, we elevated.
7
00:00:17,810 --> 00:00:18,960
It's time to show the people
8
00:00:19,019 --> 00:00:21,010
what Abbott Elementary
kitchen can really do.
9
00:00:21,063 --> 00:00:22,430
Hands! I need hands!
10
00:00:22,481 --> 00:00:23,870
- Yes, Chef!
- We're walking.
11
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:25,640
We're walking, table one.
12
00:00:39,810 --> 00:00:41,667
Oh, allow me.
13
00:00:56,980 --> 00:00:58,100
This is...
14
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:00,728
trash.
15
00:01:02,270 --> 00:01:04,890
Nnnooo!
16
00:01:04,940 --> 00:01:06,510
Now, who's gonna clean that up?
17
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,900
- Synced & corrected by MementMori -
-- www.addic7ed.com --
18
00:01:18,970 --> 00:01:22,250
Next month's priority is
Emily's tutoring initiative,
19
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:23,490
"The Study Buddy,"
20
00:01:23,542 --> 00:01:25,740
so keep your eyes out for
your school assignments.
21
00:01:25,790 --> 00:01:29,260
That's weird, 'cause it sounds a
lot like the program that I pitched.
22
00:01:29,310 --> 00:01:31,550
Remember, "Tutor Friends"?
23
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,170
For the last time,
Simon, it's not the same.
24
00:01:34,220 --> 00:01:35,250
Mine rhymes.
25
00:01:35,304 --> 00:01:36,710
Oh, that's why I liked it better.
26
00:01:36,764 --> 00:01:38,500
Nothing rhymes with "tutor."
27
00:01:38,557 --> 00:01:40,830
Tutor, scooter. Tutor, shooter.
Tutor, recruiter.
28
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:42,630
Oh, that's good.
29
00:01:43,340 --> 00:01:45,980
Moving on to a program update.
30
00:01:46,030 --> 00:01:48,480
Uh, early reports are
back for the first month
31
00:01:48,530 --> 00:01:51,600
of the expansion of
Janine's librarian program,
32
00:01:51,654 --> 00:01:54,100
and feedback has been
extremely positive.
33
00:01:54,150 --> 00:01:55,460
Well, that's the big Teagues.
34
00:01:55,500 --> 00:01:56,749
That's the big Teagues over here.
35
00:01:56,750 --> 00:01:57,890
- The big Teagues!
- Come on.
36
00:01:57,940 --> 00:01:59,960
Teacher evaluations
are through the roof.
37
00:02:00,010 --> 00:02:01,780
There's also been
improvement in attendance
38
00:02:01,830 --> 00:02:03,870
and even classroom participation.
39
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,680
I'm not sure if that has anything
to do with your program,
40
00:02:06,710 --> 00:02:10,240
but if I were you,
I would take the credit.
41
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,580
Cool.
42
00:02:13,620 --> 00:02:15,620
Oh, hey, that's my class.
43
00:02:15,670 --> 00:02:18,180
There are going to be so many
more Abbots you can help
44
00:02:18,230 --> 00:02:19,807
- now that you're here permanently.
- Yep.
45
00:02:19,808 --> 00:02:21,880
Alright, everyone, until next month.
46
00:02:21,900 --> 00:02:24,680
And please, do not submit
any new proposals
47
00:02:24,730 --> 00:02:27,160
unless they are, say it with me now...
48
00:02:27,210 --> 00:02:28,800
- Fffff.
- Fire.
49
00:02:28,857 --> 00:02:30,818
- For real.
- Fantastic.
50
00:02:30,830 --> 00:02:32,560
- Free.
- Free!
51
00:02:32,610 --> 00:02:34,400
- Free.
- Come, on guys.
52
00:02:34,450 --> 00:02:35,880
- We know "free," right?
- Yes!
53
00:02:35,920 --> 00:02:37,240
I feel like I say this every day.
54
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:38,350
- You do.
- Yeah.
55
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:39,480
Free, yeah.
56
00:02:40,220 --> 00:02:42,980
Hey, don't forget, everybody,
per district tradition,
57
00:02:43,020 --> 00:02:45,582
tonight is Janine's
official new hire party.
58
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,550
- Woo.
- Hey, hey, hey.
59
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,520
- Wow.
- Alright.
60
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,640
You good? You didn't seem as
pumped as I thought you would be
61
00:02:52,690 --> 00:02:53,882
with your program killing it.
62
00:02:53,883 --> 00:02:56,100
Oh, yeah. I'm... fine.
63
00:02:56,150 --> 00:02:58,540
I don't know. I just feel
a little off, I guess.
64
00:02:58,595 --> 00:03:00,710
Ah, I get it. You're in the dip.
65
00:03:00,764 --> 00:03:01,990
What's the dip?
66
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,360
It's like when a big project
ends and the dust settles,
67
00:03:04,390 --> 00:03:06,560
and you're like, "What do I do now?
68
00:03:06,610 --> 00:03:07,790
Buy a condo?
69
00:03:07,820 --> 00:03:09,010
Redo the one I have?"
70
00:03:09,064 --> 00:03:10,200
You have a condo?
71
00:03:10,250 --> 00:03:12,530
There's so many other projects
coming down the line,
72
00:03:12,580 --> 00:03:13,940
you won't even have enough time
73
00:03:13,980 --> 00:03:15,840
to think about being
in the dip too long.
74
00:03:15,890 --> 00:03:17,760
- Trust me.
- Cool.
75
00:03:18,490 --> 00:03:20,940
Seeing my students doing
so well in the program
76
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,080
seems like it would have made me elated,
77
00:03:23,130 --> 00:03:26,980
so it's good to know where that
off feeling was coming from.
78
00:03:27,030 --> 00:03:28,920
I guess that's just what happens
79
00:03:28,950 --> 00:03:31,990
when you're always
working on new projects.
80
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:33,300
You dip.
81
00:03:34,180 --> 00:03:36,390
What are we even meeting
about the open house for?
82
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:37,620
I got a classroom to prep.
83
00:03:37,670 --> 00:03:38,780
Attention, attention.
84
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,721
We have a very packed agenda today.
85
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,040
It just says "AVA Fest"
over and over and over.
86
00:03:44,090 --> 00:03:46,100
Exactly. Last year's AVA Fest was great,
87
00:03:46,130 --> 00:03:48,230
but this year needs to be
even bigger and better.
88
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:49,800
Well, last year you lied to everybody
89
00:03:49,830 --> 00:03:51,419
and said that Jazmine
Sullivan was coming.
90
00:03:51,420 --> 00:03:53,550
- And then people got very angry.
- Mm-hmm.
91
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,600
And this year's needs to be even better.
92
00:03:55,650 --> 00:03:57,910
Ava, this is simply an open house.
93
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,210
We will continue prepping all day,
94
00:04:00,260 --> 00:04:02,100
and everything will be just fine.
95
00:04:02,150 --> 00:04:04,576
Do you think I want something that
has my name on it to be just fine?
96
00:04:04,577 --> 00:04:06,049
Doesn't have to have your name on it.
97
00:04:06,050 --> 00:04:08,140
I've actually been prepping all week.
98
00:04:08,190 --> 00:04:10,530
Look at the solar system
that my class made.
99
00:04:10,580 --> 00:04:12,530
- Aww.
- Boo!
100
00:04:12,580 --> 00:04:13,820
Un-show me that, right now.
101
00:04:13,879 --> 00:04:16,240
AVA Fest, on the other hand,
is going to be special.
102
00:04:16,298 --> 00:04:18,810
I just have to come up with a
way to take it over the top,
103
00:04:18,860 --> 00:04:20,500
a way to make it unhinged.
104
00:04:20,552 --> 00:04:22,059
Have you ever tried just being hinged?
105
00:04:22,060 --> 00:04:24,240
Alright. Are we done here?
106
00:04:24,290 --> 00:04:25,889
I need to put the finishing
touches on my proposal
107
00:04:25,890 --> 00:04:27,226
before I go drop it off at the district.
108
00:04:27,227 --> 00:04:29,650
Gregory's Garden Goofballs
getting a glow up.
109
00:04:29,700 --> 00:04:31,650
Gregory, would you please
give this to Janine?
110
00:04:31,660 --> 00:04:33,140
Yeah, I got a box of her crap, too.
111
00:04:33,190 --> 00:04:35,520
Oh, could you also give her
this important message?
112
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,060
I love her, I miss her, and I
can't wait to see her again.
113
00:04:38,111 --> 00:04:39,610
Oh... I'll paraphrase.
114
00:04:39,660 --> 00:04:42,420
Well, make yourself useful
and grab Janine's lanyard.
115
00:04:42,470 --> 00:04:45,360
The AVA Dome has a strict
no Janine re-entry policy.
116
00:04:45,410 --> 00:04:47,910
Alright, everyone, focus.
117
00:04:50,180 --> 00:04:51,240
You are all set.
118
00:04:51,291 --> 00:04:53,790
Now, they're going to email you
when it's officially official.
119
00:04:53,840 --> 00:04:55,300
That's amazing. Thank you.
120
00:04:55,350 --> 00:04:57,479
Oh, do you happen to know
where Janine Teagues' office is?
121
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,080
Mm, yes. Office 237.
122
00:05:00,133 --> 00:05:01,710
- Thanks.
- On the second floor.
123
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,669
Now, you're going to pass a
little kitchenette moment,
124
00:05:03,670 --> 00:05:05,710
and 237 is right next to 239.
125
00:05:05,764 --> 00:05:08,284
Now, if you go to that big conference
room, you've gone too far.
126
00:05:09,490 --> 00:05:10,680
Yeah.
127
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,390
This place would collapse without me.
128
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:16,600
Okay.
129
00:05:16,650 --> 00:05:17,700
I figured it out, y'all.
130
00:05:17,750 --> 00:05:19,220
I found a way to top last year.
131
00:05:19,278 --> 00:05:20,810
And here we go.
132
00:05:20,863 --> 00:05:23,270
I got a Root! Philadelphia's
own Questlove.
133
00:05:23,323 --> 00:05:24,350
Ahh.
134
00:05:24,408 --> 00:05:27,020
The same way you got Jazmine
Sullivan to come here last year?
135
00:05:27,077 --> 00:05:29,400
- Exactly.
- Okay, but she didn't come.
136
00:05:29,450 --> 00:05:31,123
Do you not have an imagination?
137
00:05:31,140 --> 00:05:33,240
- Mm-hmm.
- Questlove and I go way back.
138
00:05:33,290 --> 00:05:35,720
We went parasailing in the
Florida Keys over summer break.
139
00:05:35,770 --> 00:05:37,280
He lost his afro pick in the water.
140
00:05:37,330 --> 00:05:38,589
Almost ruined the whole trip.
141
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,580
So he kept his afro pick
in while parasailing?
142
00:05:42,630 --> 00:05:44,980
He never takes it out.
He says it holds his power.
143
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,360
Look, Questlove is coming.
The people need to know.
144
00:05:48,410 --> 00:05:50,560
Jacob, I want you to
make a flyer on Canva,
145
00:05:50,610 --> 00:05:52,430
something that pops,
and then blast it wide.
146
00:05:52,450 --> 00:05:54,380
Sure, I'll get right on that.
147
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,065
Pick up the energy, people!
148
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:58,800
I don't want my esteemed best friend
149
00:05:58,850 --> 00:06:00,579
and occasional pickleball
partner, Questlove,
150
00:06:00,580 --> 00:06:02,020
to catch a bad vibe at my festival.
151
00:06:02,070 --> 00:06:03,800
Ava, come on...
152
00:06:03,850 --> 00:06:05,050
You know she's lying.
153
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:06,560
Just keep doing what you're doing.
154
00:06:06,617 --> 00:06:08,020
Let her go.
155
00:06:08,700 --> 00:06:11,450
We are so excited for
your party tonight.
156
00:06:11,500 --> 00:06:12,789
I hope you don't like hooks, girl,
157
00:06:12,790 --> 00:06:14,860
- 'cause this party gonna be off one.
- Ooh.
158
00:06:14,917 --> 00:06:16,770
Party's starting to
sound like a big deal.
159
00:06:16,820 --> 00:06:19,490
'Cause it's your big day.
You're one of us now.
160
00:06:19,540 --> 00:06:20,820
- One of us.
- Yeah.
161
00:06:20,870 --> 00:06:23,750
One of us. One of us.
162
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,420
One of us.
163
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,960
Party's gonna be off the hook, I get it.
164
00:06:31,010 --> 00:06:33,750
- What party?
- Oh, my God. I'm so sorry.
165
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:35,470
I thought you were one of my coworkers.
166
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:36,680
Well, I used to be.
167
00:06:36,730 --> 00:06:37,840
What are you doing here?
168
00:06:37,890 --> 00:06:39,169
I'm just here dropping off the paperwork
169
00:06:39,170 --> 00:06:40,484
for my Goofballs proposal.
170
00:06:40,500 --> 00:06:42,200
Oh, that's great.
171
00:06:42,250 --> 00:06:43,770
It's gonna go through, I know it.
172
00:06:43,820 --> 00:06:45,050
This is a nice view.
173
00:06:45,110 --> 00:06:47,100
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Thanks.
174
00:06:47,150 --> 00:06:48,840
You know what?
If you squint hard enough,
175
00:06:48,890 --> 00:06:50,400
you can see Abbott from here.
176
00:06:53,140 --> 00:06:54,720
Um, speaking of Abbott,
177
00:06:54,750 --> 00:06:57,070
I have some parting gifts from the crew.
178
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:58,820
- Oh.
- I have a card from Barbara.
179
00:06:58,860 --> 00:07:01,330
- Aww.
- A framed photo of Jacob
180
00:07:01,380 --> 00:07:02,760
- from Jacob.
- Mm-hmm.
181
00:07:02,810 --> 00:07:04,200
Melissa got you some mace,
182
00:07:04,257 --> 00:07:06,890
and Mr. Johnson wanted
you to have a strand
183
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:08,790
from his favorite mop.
184
00:07:09,820 --> 00:07:11,080
That is so thoughtful.
185
00:07:11,750 --> 00:07:13,710
And this is from me.
186
00:07:14,460 --> 00:07:16,130
Wow! Dirt!
187
00:07:16,180 --> 00:07:18,030
You said that you missed
the dirt at Abbott,
188
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:19,800
so I brought it to you.
189
00:07:19,850 --> 00:07:20,980
Oh, my God.
190
00:07:21,030 --> 00:07:23,070
There's also seeds in there.
It's a polka dot plant.
191
00:07:23,090 --> 00:07:26,446
It's supposed to be a reminder
to embrace the unexpected.
192
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,900
Thanks, Gregory. I love it.
193
00:07:29,950 --> 00:07:31,110
Alright, I gotta head out.
194
00:07:31,140 --> 00:07:33,119
We're still prepping for AVA
Fest. You gonna be there?
195
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,260
Oh, no. That party I mentioned earlier,
196
00:07:36,310 --> 00:07:38,041
it's kind of for me, so I can't miss it.
197
00:07:38,060 --> 00:07:40,070
Okay. Oh, um...
198
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,740
Ava said I need to get your
Abbott lanyard from you.
199
00:07:42,796 --> 00:07:44,019
It's probably at home
or something like that,
200
00:07:44,020 --> 00:07:45,660
so when you get a chance, just...
201
00:07:47,260 --> 00:07:49,370
You still have it on?
202
00:07:49,420 --> 00:07:52,210
Yeah. Just thought it went
well with this outfit...
203
00:07:52,260 --> 00:07:54,880
and all my other outfits, so...
204
00:07:55,580 --> 00:07:57,040
Thanks for coming, Gregory.
205
00:07:57,090 --> 00:07:58,311
- Yeah.
- And I love my dirt!
206
00:07:58,312 --> 00:08:01,050
It's a plant, but see you around.
207
00:08:01,100 --> 00:08:02,100
Bye.
208
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:07,770
Yeah, it's the end of an era,
209
00:08:07,820 --> 00:08:12,160
um, but Janine will always have
a special place with all of us.
210
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:14,029
I mean, it's because of her
211
00:08:14,030 --> 00:08:16,610
I realized that Abbott
is where I'm meant to be.
212
00:08:16,660 --> 00:08:21,420
So it's great to see her find
where she is meant to be.
213
00:08:23,620 --> 00:08:25,080
_
214
00:08:28,500 --> 00:08:30,360
All three now. Right, Chef?
215
00:08:30,410 --> 00:08:31,920
- Yeah.
- I just texted my mom,
216
00:08:31,970 --> 00:08:33,660
and she sent me this voice note.
217
00:08:34,220 --> 00:08:35,720
Oh, my God, Oh, my God, Oh, my God!
218
00:08:35,770 --> 00:08:38,360
- I love Questlove!
- See, Mom gets it.
219
00:08:38,410 --> 00:08:40,060
So make sure you tell everyone you know,
220
00:08:40,110 --> 00:08:41,590
AVA Fest is not to be missed.
221
00:08:43,820 --> 00:08:46,850
Ava. How exactly did you meet Questlove?
222
00:08:46,900 --> 00:08:48,970
- Yeah.
- We met at a party in the 2000s.
223
00:08:49,020 --> 00:08:50,363
I was dating Allen Iverson.
224
00:08:50,370 --> 00:08:52,810
A couple of his groupies
was trying to get at me.
225
00:08:52,866 --> 00:08:54,850
I'm beating on them, and
then Questlove walks by
226
00:08:54,860 --> 00:08:56,910
and he says, "You have natural rhythm."
227
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,110
A couple of weeks later,
we started The Roots.
228
00:08:59,164 --> 00:09:02,110
So you're saying that you're a
founding member of The Roots?
229
00:09:02,167 --> 00:09:03,320
More like the founder.
230
00:09:03,376 --> 00:09:05,820
- Ava, you're not a Root.
- Well, I quit to save the band.
231
00:09:05,879 --> 00:09:07,390
I almost Yoko Ono'd them.
232
00:09:09,100 --> 00:09:11,330
I really thought we were going
to be able to ignore this
233
00:09:11,350 --> 00:09:13,700
and just have a lovely open house,
234
00:09:14,310 --> 00:09:15,950
- but this is gonna be a problem.
- Yeah.
235
00:09:15,980 --> 00:09:17,340
I haven't even sent the flyer out,
236
00:09:17,380 --> 00:09:18,860
and word is already spreading.
237
00:09:18,890 --> 00:09:20,230
One of the parents just texted me
238
00:09:20,260 --> 00:09:22,090
and asked if there are VIP tickets.
239
00:09:22,140 --> 00:09:24,100
- Oh!
- Okay, this calls for a plan B
240
00:09:24,150 --> 00:09:26,010
you cannot get at CVS.
241
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:28,780
Okay, the party starts at 8:00,
242
00:09:28,820 --> 00:09:30,579
and you'll probably want
to take a car home after,
243
00:09:30,580 --> 00:09:32,100
because things can get a little wild.
244
00:09:32,150 --> 00:09:33,950
There will be cake, there will be fun...
245
00:09:33,980 --> 00:09:35,270
There will be blood oaths.
246
00:09:35,325 --> 00:09:36,920
- What?
- He's kidding.
247
00:09:36,970 --> 00:09:38,890
- No.
- Don't do that.
248
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:43,140
- Teagues?
- Yeah?
249
00:09:43,150 --> 00:09:44,165
You see your new assignment?
250
00:09:44,166 --> 00:09:46,429
Oh, yeah. I got the email.
Just haven't had a chance to...
251
00:09:46,430 --> 00:09:49,381
Okay, so we are going to have
you do a class size assessment
252
00:09:49,390 --> 00:09:50,440
of the ninth grade.
253
00:09:50,460 --> 00:09:52,383
You're going to start at
Park Legendary High School.
254
00:09:52,384 --> 00:09:53,490
Oh, okay.
255
00:09:53,540 --> 00:09:55,719
See, I was just thinking I'd
stick with elementary schools
256
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,080
- and stay at Abbott.
- Oh, you know what?
257
00:09:58,130 --> 00:09:59,200
That's on me.
258
00:09:59,250 --> 00:10:01,590
I forgot to ask you which
school you'd prefer.
259
00:10:01,643 --> 00:10:03,350
Oh, it's alright.
260
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,039
- So I was...
- Of course, I'm being sarcastic.
261
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:06,869
Your job is to help all the
schools in the district,
262
00:10:06,870 --> 00:10:08,520
- not just Abbott.
- Right.
263
00:10:08,570 --> 00:10:09,650
- Totally hear you.
- Yeah.
264
00:10:09,700 --> 00:10:11,519
I was just thinking maybe
I would ease into it,
265
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,720
- like a cold plunge?
- You don't ease into a cold plunge.
266
00:10:14,770 --> 00:10:16,700
That's pretty... pretty
sure it's in the name.
267
00:10:16,710 --> 00:10:17,720
- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah.
268
00:10:17,730 --> 00:10:19,790
Janine, this is all mapped out for you
269
00:10:19,820 --> 00:10:21,100
in your new hire packet...
270
00:10:21,150 --> 00:10:23,740
raise in year two,
promotion in year three.
271
00:10:23,790 --> 00:10:25,541
Yep. Team leader in
year four. I read it.
272
00:10:25,542 --> 00:10:28,600
Great, so you're familiar with
our standard seven-year plan.
273
00:10:28,650 --> 00:10:30,129
Welcome to your future.
274
00:10:31,190 --> 00:10:34,120
- Ooh, this is heavy.
- Whoa.
275
00:10:34,176 --> 00:10:35,770
- Big cake.
- Yeah.
276
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:39,330
Oh!
277
00:10:39,380 --> 00:10:40,560
Questlove gonna be here?
278
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,170
- Questlove!
- I'm telling you...
279
00:10:43,226 --> 00:10:44,350
What have you got?
280
00:10:44,390 --> 00:10:46,390
Well, I've got my church
choir ready to sing
281
00:10:46,420 --> 00:10:48,460
one of our secular selections,
282
00:10:48,510 --> 00:10:50,360
"Angel" by Amanda Perez.
283
00:10:50,380 --> 00:10:52,190
Great, and I reached out
to the Story Samurai.
284
00:10:52,220 --> 00:10:54,149
They said they're going to come
and do some story performances.
285
00:10:54,150 --> 00:10:55,660
But they did ask for a per diem,
286
00:10:55,718 --> 00:10:56,770
- which in Latin...
- Ohh.
287
00:10:56,823 --> 00:10:58,809
I reached out to Tariq to see
if he could perform again,
288
00:10:58,810 --> 00:11:01,500
but apparently he's moderating
a panel at City Hall.
289
00:11:01,550 --> 00:11:03,570
Well, I'm bringing a
few friends myself...
290
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,990
De Niro. Stallone.
291
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,570
And then Stallone as De Niro.
292
00:11:09,620 --> 00:11:11,900
"Yo, Adrian, you lookin' at me?"
293
00:11:14,870 --> 00:11:16,384
Yeah, yeah.
294
00:11:16,390 --> 00:11:18,550
- Yeah, right?
- There is one more thing.
295
00:11:18,580 --> 00:11:20,170
Um, Ava asked me to send that email
296
00:11:20,220 --> 00:11:21,819
to all the parents with the Canva flyer,
297
00:11:21,820 --> 00:11:23,620
and I took the liberty
of letting them know
298
00:11:23,650 --> 00:11:26,060
that Questlove will
not be able to attend.
299
00:11:26,110 --> 00:11:27,590
Oh.
300
00:11:27,646 --> 00:11:29,510
Jacob, you beautiful backstabber.
301
00:11:31,608 --> 00:11:33,220
Oh, hey, there.
302
00:11:33,276 --> 00:11:34,720
I've been trying to track you down.
303
00:11:34,778 --> 00:11:37,279
Now, here's all the information
to enroll in our health insurance.
304
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,350
Which, let me tell you,
it's pretty bomb.
305
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:40,940
That's why my teeth are on point.
306
00:11:41,010 --> 00:11:43,940
Um, you know what?
307
00:11:43,990 --> 00:11:45,669
I don't actually need
better health insurance.
308
00:11:45,670 --> 00:11:47,000
Um, I'm healthy.
309
00:11:47,050 --> 00:11:49,680
And if everyone in America can't
have free health insurance,
310
00:11:49,730 --> 00:11:52,620
- why should I?
- Okay, first of all, it's not free.
311
00:11:52,671 --> 00:11:54,320
And second of all, are you sure?
312
00:11:54,350 --> 00:11:55,700
Because I've heard you breathing,
313
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,160
and I think you need a specialist.
314
00:11:57,210 --> 00:11:59,460
Or maybe I just have a
special way of breathing.
315
00:11:59,511 --> 00:12:00,870
- There you are.
- Hey.
316
00:12:00,929 --> 00:12:02,279
Here is your permanent parking pass.
317
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,000
Employee lot is right out front.
318
00:12:04,050 --> 00:12:05,900
Um, you know what?
319
00:12:05,950 --> 00:12:07,870
I don't really need a parking spot.
320
00:12:07,890 --> 00:12:08,900
I can just walk.
321
00:12:08,950 --> 00:12:11,560
- It's like, a 20-minute walk.
- Yeah. That's okay.
322
00:12:11,610 --> 00:12:13,040
I love to walk, you know?
323
00:12:13,090 --> 00:12:14,530
Look, I love it. Doing it right now.
324
00:12:14,540 --> 00:12:16,810
- Doing a good job at it.
- Hey.
325
00:12:16,860 --> 00:12:18,059
- Hey.
- I noticed you haven't signed up
326
00:12:18,060 --> 00:12:19,580
for your 401K.
327
00:12:19,630 --> 00:12:20,999
When you don't fill out the paperwork,
328
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,600
I have to talk to people,
and I hate talking to people.
329
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,160
Great, I'll sign up for it
if there's something less intense,
330
00:12:26,190 --> 00:12:29,480
you know, like a 301K or a 201J.
331
00:12:32,980 --> 00:12:34,190
What is that?
332
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:35,330
Where did this come from?
333
00:12:35,340 --> 00:12:38,070
That's a super sick district
desktop computer.
334
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:39,770
You got to personalize your background.
335
00:12:39,820 --> 00:12:42,080
- Mine's a mountain lion.
- Well, I don't want it.
336
00:12:42,130 --> 00:12:43,920
- Oh.
- Yeah. I like my laptop
337
00:12:43,972 --> 00:12:45,170
because it's mobile.
338
00:12:45,220 --> 00:12:47,642
You can move. You're not stuck anywhere.
339
00:12:47,660 --> 00:12:51,380
That's the reason why Steve
Jobs made laptops, Simon.
340
00:12:51,430 --> 00:12:54,680
If I get information and I
want to take it somewhere,
341
00:12:54,710 --> 00:12:57,460
- where do I put it, Simon?
- I don't know, Janine.
342
00:12:58,120 --> 00:12:59,270
The cloud?
343
00:13:06,820 --> 00:13:11,570
Yeah, baby. Oh, behave.
344
00:13:12,850 --> 00:13:14,790
Okay, I don't know who
that's supposed to be,
345
00:13:14,820 --> 00:13:18,620
- but he sounds responsible.
- Who wants to die?
346
00:13:18,670 --> 00:13:20,600
Which one of you did this?
347
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,250
I did.
348
00:13:24,300 --> 00:13:25,860
- I did.
- Ava.
349
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,050
We did not want to lie to the
people coming to AVA Fest.
350
00:13:29,100 --> 00:13:30,950
And the real entertainment
will go over better
351
00:13:30,980 --> 00:13:33,130
if the community is not
expecting Questlove.
352
00:13:33,180 --> 00:13:35,680
'Cause he ain't showing up.
353
00:13:35,732 --> 00:13:37,330
- Shh.
- Y'all are haters.
354
00:13:37,380 --> 00:13:39,694
He thanked me in the liner
notes of "Things Fall Apart."
355
00:13:39,700 --> 00:13:42,060
That's when I used to go
by the name MC Gillette,
356
00:13:42,110 --> 00:13:43,380
a name that he gave me
357
00:13:43,439 --> 00:13:46,033
because he said I am
the best a man can get.
358
00:13:46,034 --> 00:13:48,200
Now I gotta make another
flyer and send it out myself.
359
00:13:48,250 --> 00:13:49,570
Corner.
360
00:13:50,497 --> 00:13:52,457
Are we just yelling out
things we see now?
361
00:13:52,470 --> 00:13:55,380
Walls, floor, huge mess of food!
362
00:13:57,340 --> 00:13:59,740
Get in my belly.
363
00:14:01,170 --> 00:14:02,180
_
364
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,410
I got your start paperwork.
365
00:14:04,469 --> 00:14:06,650
Oh, yeah. This is my favorite tradition.
366
00:14:06,700 --> 00:14:08,960
You take a shot, you sign the paperwork,
367
00:14:09,010 --> 00:14:10,630
we snap a nasty photo.
368
00:14:10,680 --> 00:14:12,920
- Oh, boy.
- It's just a fun little thing
369
00:14:12,970 --> 00:14:14,854
we've been doing for all the new hires.
370
00:14:14,870 --> 00:14:16,990
You do not have to take the shot,
371
00:14:17,020 --> 00:14:18,106
but you got to take the photo.
372
00:14:18,107 --> 00:14:19,609
But you should still take the shot.
373
00:14:19,620 --> 00:14:20,850
- Here.
- Oh.
374
00:14:20,900 --> 00:14:23,520
Uh, alright.
375
00:14:23,570 --> 00:14:25,340
Um, you know what?
376
00:14:25,390 --> 00:14:27,250
I just need to go grab my lucky pen,
377
00:14:27,300 --> 00:14:29,130
because I cannot sign without it.
378
00:14:29,150 --> 00:14:31,540
So I'll be right back.
379
00:14:31,590 --> 00:14:32,900
And, um...
380
00:14:32,956 --> 00:14:35,800
Simon, make sure you get the
perfect lighting for me, okay?
381
00:14:35,850 --> 00:14:37,390
Do I have the perfect lighting?
382
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,712
Uh, shhing.
383
00:15:07,220 --> 00:15:10,590
"Janine, I'm so proud of
the person you've become.
384
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:14,460
I have no doubt your
adventure is just beginning.
385
00:15:14,510 --> 00:15:17,760
One thing I've learned about you
is that you have a big heart.
386
00:15:17,810 --> 00:15:21,870
And, my dear, that heart
will never lead you astray.
387
00:15:23,210 --> 00:15:25,050
Blessings, Barbara."
388
00:15:43,151 --> 00:15:45,410
Hey, are you good?
389
00:15:48,260 --> 00:15:51,820
Honestly, better than I've ever been.
390
00:15:53,030 --> 00:15:55,579
Alright, I gotta get to the chopper,
391
00:15:55,580 --> 00:15:58,480
but as Matthew McConaughey would say...
392
00:15:58,530 --> 00:16:03,580
AVA Fest's alright, alright, alright.
393
00:16:03,630 --> 00:16:04,990
Thank you.
394
00:16:06,190 --> 00:16:08,390
I can't believe they made
me sit through that.
395
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,560
Questlove better be here soon.
396
00:16:10,610 --> 00:16:12,931
They better not have lured
us down here again
397
00:16:12,950 --> 00:16:14,849
with the promise of seeing a well-known
398
00:16:14,850 --> 00:16:17,644
and respected R&B and/or rap artist.
399
00:16:17,660 --> 00:16:22,270
Okay, so there are a few
disappointed people here,
400
00:16:22,290 --> 00:16:24,480
but overall, I think
it's going pretty well.
401
00:16:24,510 --> 00:16:25,985
Thank God we had a backup plan.
402
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,300
- You're welcome.
- And people seem to be liking the food.
403
00:16:28,350 --> 00:16:30,420
- Yes.
- Thank you. We worked really hard,
404
00:16:30,470 --> 00:16:31,570
lost some good men.
405
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:32,617
Shanae quit.
406
00:16:32,630 --> 00:16:35,740
- What?
- I said I was quick, dumbass.
407
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:37,550
- Oh.
- What's up?
408
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:38,600
It's the district.
409
00:16:38,610 --> 00:16:40,800
The Garden Goofballs program
passed its final hurdle.
410
00:16:40,820 --> 00:16:41,833
It's officially approved.
411
00:16:41,834 --> 00:16:44,390
- Ooh, good for you, goofball.
- Oh!
412
00:16:44,420 --> 00:16:45,870
That is so awesome.
413
00:16:45,922 --> 00:16:48,180
Well, I'll be.
414
00:16:48,230 --> 00:16:49,580
Gomer Pyle.
415
00:16:49,620 --> 00:16:50,710
Congrats, man.
416
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:51,890
I knew it was gonna happen.
417
00:16:51,940 --> 00:16:53,309
It's just good to know it's official.
418
00:16:53,310 --> 00:16:55,050
- I gotta tell Janine.
- Aww.
419
00:16:55,100 --> 00:16:56,400
Tell Janine what?
420
00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,351
What are you doing here?
What happened to your party?
421
00:16:59,352 --> 00:17:01,729
Well, I decided I wanted to be here.
422
00:17:01,740 --> 00:17:04,430
- Aww.
- For good.
423
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:05,930
What?
424
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:07,630
I'm coming back to Abbott.
425
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:09,070
Yes!
426
00:17:09,090 --> 00:17:12,240
Good to have you back, sweetheart.
427
00:17:12,270 --> 00:17:13,780
- Yes!
- Wait, what? You... You quit?
428
00:17:13,830 --> 00:17:16,230
- No. She got fired.
- What? Why?
429
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,530
- Pregnant.
- You can see it in her feet.
430
00:17:18,580 --> 00:17:19,900
No, no, no, no. I'm not pregnant.
431
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,610
You cannot get fired
for that. And I quit.
432
00:17:22,667 --> 00:17:24,590
Well, technically, I never
signed the contract,
433
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,190
- so I'm in the clear.
- Oh.
434
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,790
Reynolds did say I should
have said something sooner
435
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:32,175
and that he will be considering
holding a grudge against Abbott,
436
00:17:32,176 --> 00:17:33,630
but it'll be fine.
437
00:17:33,670 --> 00:17:34,790
It'll be fun.
438
00:17:34,846 --> 00:17:37,900
The fact is, I love being a teacher.
439
00:17:37,950 --> 00:17:39,320
It's who I am.
440
00:17:39,370 --> 00:17:41,090
Well, welcome back, kiddo.
441
00:17:41,144 --> 00:17:44,450
There's no one I'd rather teach
second grade with than you.
442
00:17:44,500 --> 00:17:46,719
This has made my entire year,
so I don't want to ruin it,
443
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:48,350
but what made you change your mind?
444
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:49,940
It was a lot of things.
445
00:17:49,980 --> 00:17:53,890
But what really did it for
me was Barbara's card.
446
00:17:55,060 --> 00:17:56,850
My... ?
447
00:17:56,900 --> 00:17:59,830
But all I wrote was
how proud I am of you
448
00:17:59,860 --> 00:18:01,960
and all the great things
you're going to do.
449
00:18:02,010 --> 00:18:04,300
Yeah, but it was the other part,
450
00:18:04,350 --> 00:18:05,650
what the kids wrote.
451
00:18:07,500 --> 00:18:09,820
I drew Ms. Teagues a
picture of a football
452
00:18:09,850 --> 00:18:12,480
and wrote that she is
the best teacher ever.
453
00:18:12,530 --> 00:18:15,020
I said, "You make me
laugh, Ms. Teagues."
454
00:18:15,070 --> 00:18:18,010
I wrote that I miss her this much.
455
00:18:18,060 --> 00:18:21,150
And that's how I knew
I have to be with those kids.
456
00:18:22,030 --> 00:18:23,410
Is that why you had them sign?
457
00:18:23,460 --> 00:18:26,022
No. That was their idea.
458
00:18:27,100 --> 00:18:28,650
This is so sweet.
459
00:18:28,670 --> 00:18:30,710
But we all know the real
reason you came back
460
00:18:30,740 --> 00:18:31,850
is to see Questlove.
461
00:18:31,903 --> 00:18:34,020
Ava, Questlove is not coming here.
462
00:18:34,072 --> 00:18:35,390
Now, why would I lie about that?
463
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:36,906
Because you lied about it last year.
464
00:18:36,907 --> 00:18:38,380
And I was honest about my lying.
465
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,520
Oh, please. You're like the
principal who cried wolf,
466
00:18:40,570 --> 00:18:42,400
- except she's also the wolf.
- Mm-hmm.
467
00:18:42,450 --> 00:18:45,500
So I guess it's just me and
Gregory against the world.
468
00:18:45,550 --> 00:18:47,377
I'm gonna take the
world's side on this one.
469
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:49,459
Y'all gonna feel real
foolish when Questlove...
470
00:18:49,460 --> 00:18:50,630
Enough, Ava.
471
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:52,960
We have tolerated your lies
472
00:18:52,990 --> 00:18:55,200
- for four years.
- Five.
473
00:18:55,250 --> 00:18:58,190
Eventually, you have got to be stopped.
474
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:04,170
We have watched you steal,
cut corners, lie pathologically,
475
00:19:04,220 --> 00:19:07,740
plot, prevaricate, palter, persist,
476
00:19:07,790 --> 00:19:10,800
and I don't know whether
you are delusional or not,
477
00:19:10,850 --> 00:19:13,861
but Questlove is not...
478
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,120
Oh... Is... ?
479
00:19:16,170 --> 00:19:17,560
Questlove is...
480
00:19:17,615 --> 00:19:20,030
Gillette, what is up?
481
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:21,390
Questlove...
482
00:19:21,430 --> 00:19:24,860
- Oh, my God, you're Questlove.
- ... is here. You are here.
483
00:19:24,914 --> 00:19:26,110
And you know Ava?
484
00:19:27,834 --> 00:19:29,919
Do I know the Ava Coleman?
485
00:19:29,930 --> 00:19:32,280
Of course. I mean,
we go back like molars.
486
00:19:32,330 --> 00:19:34,465
I mean, I was just talking to
Allen Iverson the other day
487
00:19:34,466 --> 00:19:36,000
about how, without her,
488
00:19:36,030 --> 00:19:37,670
our lives would have
never been the same.
489
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:39,400
They thought I was lying, Ahmir.
490
00:19:39,450 --> 00:19:41,270
You, Honest Ava?
491
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:42,619
- Oh.
- That is not what we call her.
492
00:19:42,620 --> 00:19:44,730
Okay, well, later,
I'll tell you about the time
493
00:19:44,740 --> 00:19:47,170
where she wrestled a bluefin
tuna for my afro pick.
494
00:19:47,220 --> 00:19:49,647
Almost as fun as the day we
started The Roots together.
495
00:19:51,580 --> 00:19:53,420
Stop bragging about me.
496
00:19:53,470 --> 00:19:56,070
Now get up there and do it
for the people one time.
497
00:19:56,120 --> 00:19:57,340
I got you.
498
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:00,400
I told y'all I wasn't lying.
499
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:02,770
Unlike Janine and her pregnancy.
500
00:20:02,827 --> 00:20:05,650
- Janine?
- I am not pregnant.
501
00:20:05,700 --> 00:20:06,913
- Tariq.
- Yeah.
502
00:20:06,914 --> 00:20:08,110
- No.
- Congrats.
503
00:20:08,166 --> 00:20:10,150
- What?
- It's exciting.
504
00:20:10,209 --> 00:20:13,070
Let's go, Abbott Elementary!
505
00:20:15,270 --> 00:20:21,471
♪ Everybody, move your feet
and feel united, oh-oh-oh ♪
506
00:20:23,170 --> 00:20:29,790
♪ Everybody, move your feet
and feel united, oh-oh-oh ♪
507
00:20:34,233 --> 00:20:35,510
- Hey, Janine.
- Yeah?
508
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:39,370
Just so you know, I'm gonna
need that mop strand back.
509
00:20:40,500 --> 00:20:41,750
Okay.
510
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:55,270
I mean, it's understandable.
511
00:20:55,300 --> 00:20:56,550
Janine loves Abbott,
512
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,549
but no one's gonna be
able to fill her shoes.
513
00:20:58,550 --> 00:21:00,770
Her surprisingly large shoes.
514
00:21:00,820 --> 00:21:03,770
- Yeah.
- I could be like Janine.
515
00:21:03,820 --> 00:21:05,190
- No.
- No.
516
00:21:05,223 --> 00:21:08,050
What are we going to do with that
district chain that we got her?
517
00:21:09,310 --> 00:21:11,460
We'll have to find
somebody else to wear it.
518
00:21:13,120 --> 00:21:14,640
Can I have her office?
519
00:21:14,690 --> 00:21:15,690
- No.
- No.
520
00:21:15,700 --> 00:21:17,220
