1
00:00:01,001 --> 00:00:04,003
I'm Cassius. Nathan's twin.
2
00:00:04,004 --> 00:00:06,964
Might that be enough General Hospital
for the day?
3
00:00:06,965 --> 00:00:08,591
How about the news?
4
00:00:08,592 --> 00:00:11,594
Muting it would also be an option.
Who has the remote?
5
00:00:11,595 --> 00:00:13,429
Mm-hmm.
6
00:00:13,430 --> 00:00:15,598
Yeah, Mr. Johnson,
have you seen the remote?
7
00:00:15,599 --> 00:00:18,310
Have I seen it? Yeah, nice remote.
8
00:00:19,353 --> 00:00:20,770
I couldn't find it this morning.
9
00:00:20,771 --> 00:00:22,383
Somebody hit my car
chase group chat, and
10
00:00:22,395 --> 00:00:23,981
I couldn't even switch
to live coverage.
11
00:00:23,982 --> 00:00:25,566
Aren't there buttons on the TV?
12
00:00:25,567 --> 00:00:28,444
- Eh! You're aging yourself, Barb.
- They got rid of the buttons.
13
00:00:28,445 --> 00:00:30,196
Okay, everybody, just... Shh!
14
00:00:30,197 --> 00:00:32,326
Please, I'm trying
to watch my stories.
15
00:00:32,338 --> 00:00:34,158
Jacob won't let me do it at home.
16
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:35,284
Damn right.
17
00:00:35,285 --> 00:00:37,161
Who still watches soap operas?
18
00:00:37,162 --> 00:00:39,956
People with taste, like me.
19
00:00:39,957 --> 00:00:41,499
Soaps have got everything, man.
20
00:00:41,500 --> 00:00:45,503
They got plots and schemes
and five new episodes a week.
21
00:00:45,504 --> 00:00:48,089
These are the hardest-working actors
in show business.
22
00:00:48,090 --> 00:00:49,715
They're like the teachers of Hollywood.
23
00:00:49,716 --> 00:00:51,676
I don't know about all that.
24
00:00:51,677 --> 00:00:54,929
What's crazy is,
this literally happened to my aunt.
25
00:00:54,930 --> 00:00:56,813
Her son, fake Nathan,
revealed that he's
26
00:00:56,825 --> 00:00:58,766
actually Nathan's
identical twin brother,
27
00:00:58,767 --> 00:01:01,060
Cassius, who she didn't
even know was alive?
28
00:01:01,061 --> 00:01:03,187
Different names, but yeah.
29
00:01:03,188 --> 00:01:05,231
They should let me on this.
30
00:01:05,232 --> 00:01:06,399
Ooh, what are we watching?
31
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:07,401
Shh!
32
00:01:08,235 --> 00:01:09,360
Oh, my God.
33
00:01:09,361 --> 00:01:12,113
Are you guys seriously sitting here
watching soap operas?
34
00:01:12,114 --> 00:01:14,115
Wow, you're elementary school teachers.
35
00:01:14,116 --> 00:01:15,992
You should know better
than to be watching this cr...
36
00:01:15,993 --> 00:01:18,369
So where's real Nathan?
And who plays him?
37
00:01:18,370 --> 00:01:20,289
- Same actor.
- Wow.
38
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,639
Okay, corner office.
39
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,308
- It's not bad, right?
- Yeah.
40
00:01:40,309 --> 00:01:41,767
- I'll be right out.
- Okay.
41
00:01:41,768 --> 00:01:45,271
I have two roles this year, so
figured I might as well have two desks,
42
00:01:45,272 --> 00:01:47,815
one for teacher me
and one for assistant principal me.
43
00:01:47,816 --> 00:01:49,483
I'm holding check-ins
with the teachers all week,
44
00:01:49,484 --> 00:01:51,319
and I'm already ahead of schedule.
45
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,281
I checked in with myself,
and it's going great.
46
00:01:55,824 --> 00:01:58,200
Oh, hey, Courtney.
What are you doing here so late?
47
00:01:58,201 --> 00:02:01,287
- Podcast Club.
- You joined? That's great.
48
00:02:01,288 --> 00:02:02,913
Aw!
49
00:02:02,914 --> 00:02:05,166
Wait, Podcast Club
went really late today.
50
00:02:05,167 --> 00:02:07,585
Well, you know, Mr. C talks a lot.
51
00:02:07,586 --> 00:02:10,088
I know that's right, girlfriend.
52
00:02:11,965 --> 00:02:15,718
Cool. Um, how was Mr. Hill's lesson
on ethical editorializing?
53
00:02:15,719 --> 00:02:17,429
- Enlightening. Bye.
- Oh.
54
00:02:19,473 --> 00:02:20,682
Good talk, Court.
55
00:02:21,350 --> 00:02:26,020
Good morning,
my bright and beautiful students.
56
00:02:26,021 --> 00:02:27,980
- Hi.
- Hello.
57
00:02:27,981 --> 00:02:30,441
This year,
I have a new student named Justin.
58
00:02:30,442 --> 00:02:32,234
Oh, he's a very good listener.
59
00:02:32,235 --> 00:02:36,864
He loves superheroes,
and he happens to have alopecia areata.
60
00:02:36,865 --> 00:02:39,297
It is an autoimmune condition that
61
00:02:39,309 --> 00:02:42,328
can cause partial
or total loss of hair.
62
00:02:42,329 --> 00:02:47,291
All right, class, when we have
a question, what do we do?
63
00:02:47,292 --> 00:02:50,962
That's right, we raise our hand.
64
00:02:51,588 --> 00:02:53,068
Yes, young man, what's your question?
65
00:02:53,632 --> 00:02:56,093
Why doesn't he have any hair?
66
00:02:58,512 --> 00:03:01,263
His parents have asked
that I not bring it up to the class.
67
00:03:01,264 --> 00:03:03,015
They know the situation best,
68
00:03:03,016 --> 00:03:06,603
so I will follow their lead
and hope the students follow mine.
69
00:03:07,270 --> 00:03:09,189
- Hey, Melissa.
- Hey.
70
00:03:09,815 --> 00:03:11,274
Does this mean anything to you?
71
00:03:11,983 --> 00:03:13,609
Uh, paper towel? No.
72
00:03:13,610 --> 00:03:16,862
No, no. It's what's...
It's what's in the paper towel.
73
00:03:16,863 --> 00:03:18,699
- Okay.
- Um...
74
00:03:19,533 --> 00:03:20,616
It's gum.
75
00:03:20,617 --> 00:03:22,743
The kids have been chewing nonstop
during my class.
76
00:03:22,744 --> 00:03:24,129
I asked them who's
allowing them to put
77
00:03:24,141 --> 00:03:25,538
gum in their mouths
in the first place,
78
00:03:25,539 --> 00:03:26,831
and what do you know?
79
00:03:26,832 --> 00:03:28,510
It's none other than my inconsiderate
80
00:03:28,522 --> 00:03:30,167
roommate and problematic landlord,
81
00:03:30,168 --> 00:03:32,128
Melissa Ann Caterina Schemmenti.
82
00:03:32,129 --> 00:03:35,715
It's a huge distraction, and they refuse
to throw it away post chew.
83
00:03:37,717 --> 00:03:40,010
It's like teaching
a classroom full of cows,
84
00:03:40,011 --> 00:03:42,012
except instead of digesting their cud,
85
00:03:42,013 --> 00:03:43,973
they just stick it under their desk.
It's gross.
86
00:03:43,974 --> 00:03:47,226
Okay, so what do you want 'em to do,
Jacob? Swallow it?
87
00:03:47,227 --> 00:03:49,186
It'll live in their stomach
for seven years.
88
00:03:49,187 --> 00:03:51,897
- I want 'em to throw it away.
- I thought you wanted them to stop.
89
00:03:51,898 --> 00:03:54,400
Well, that too, but they're not
going to honor that request
90
00:03:54,401 --> 00:03:55,818
if they can do it in your classroom.
91
00:03:55,819 --> 00:03:59,488
Look, if it keeps them off their phones
and it keeps them focused,
92
00:03:59,489 --> 00:04:00,656
that's a miracle.
93
00:04:00,657 --> 00:04:01,907
Who am I to stop that?
94
00:04:01,908 --> 00:04:03,325
This sounds messy.
95
00:04:03,326 --> 00:04:05,369
Melissa is disrespecting my classroom.
96
00:04:05,370 --> 00:04:07,413
Oh, boo, never mind.
97
00:04:07,414 --> 00:04:10,134
I'm sure Gregory will love to hear
all about it during your check-in.
98
00:04:10,876 --> 00:04:12,251
Are you...
99
00:04:12,252 --> 00:04:13,627
cute or what?
100
00:04:18,008 --> 00:04:21,427
Yeah, sometimes I think that the fact
that I don't actually like kids
101
00:04:21,428 --> 00:04:22,762
is one of my biggest strengths.
102
00:04:22,763 --> 00:04:25,598
- Really?
- How's it going?
103
00:04:25,599 --> 00:04:26,682
Good.
104
00:04:26,683 --> 00:04:28,278
You sure you don't want me to get a sub?
105
00:04:28,302 --> 00:04:30,395
No, no, no. I got it handled. Trust me.
106
00:04:31,271 --> 00:04:32,354
Okay.
107
00:04:32,355 --> 00:04:35,107
I don't trust him. Gregory could do
all the check-ins he wants.
108
00:04:35,108 --> 00:04:38,527
It's not gonna erase the fact
that he actually hired a AI teacher.
109
00:04:38,528 --> 00:04:40,946
All men handle being proven wrong
the same way.
110
00:04:40,947 --> 00:04:42,907
Stage one, rewrite history.
111
00:04:42,908 --> 00:04:44,617
Stage two, double down.
112
00:04:44,618 --> 00:04:47,745
And my favorite, stage three,
self-destruction.
113
00:04:47,746 --> 00:04:49,914
Mr. Eddie, I'm done reading.
114
00:04:49,915 --> 00:04:52,666
Uh, excuse me, I still have time left.
115
00:04:52,667 --> 00:04:55,252
Oh, okay, good job, Antonio.
116
00:04:55,253 --> 00:04:56,975
Why don't you go
back and read it again
117
00:04:56,987 --> 00:04:58,547
while I finish up with Ms. Hoffman?
118
00:04:58,548 --> 00:05:01,176
Anything worth reading
is worth taking a second pass.
119
00:05:01,968 --> 00:05:03,595
See? I got it.
120
00:05:05,639 --> 00:05:07,098
He's in stage two.
121
00:05:08,058 --> 00:05:10,101
Oh, my God, Janine,
This Abbott Life has
122
00:05:10,113 --> 00:05:12,269
hit a record number
of subscribers. Eight.
123
00:05:12,270 --> 00:05:14,855
- Wow. Watch out, Amy Poehler.
- Yeah.
124
00:05:14,856 --> 00:05:17,650
Man, I knew Courtney would be great
for Podcast Club. Good get.
125
00:05:17,651 --> 00:05:19,528
Courtney's not in Podcast Club.
126
00:05:20,403 --> 00:05:22,988
- She's not?
- Yeah, I've asked her a million times,
127
00:05:22,989 --> 00:05:25,324
and, uh, she says no
in a different language each time.
128
00:05:25,325 --> 00:05:28,202
Once, she hit me with hapana.
It's "no" in Swahili.
129
00:05:28,203 --> 00:05:29,454
Why would she lie to me?
130
00:05:33,208 --> 00:05:35,167
Whoa! Easy, cashew slayer.
131
00:05:35,168 --> 00:05:37,211
I'm trying to refuel
before my next check-in.
132
00:05:37,212 --> 00:05:39,630
Can't wait for mine.
133
00:05:39,631 --> 00:05:41,757
I have a very important
issue to discuss.
134
00:05:41,758 --> 00:05:44,510
Do you mind if we handle that right now
and get it out of the way?
135
00:05:44,511 --> 00:05:45,594
My day is pretty jam-packed.
136
00:05:45,595 --> 00:05:46,762
- Absolutely.
- Okay.
137
00:05:46,763 --> 00:05:48,931
Not. As a community leader myself,
138
00:05:48,932 --> 00:05:50,975
I respect the time
of my fellow administrators,
139
00:05:50,976 --> 00:05:53,812
but I will be at your office
at 11:00 on the dot.
140
00:05:56,690 --> 00:05:58,607
What's up, Barb?
141
00:05:58,608 --> 00:06:00,526
Your brow is never furrowed.
142
00:06:00,527 --> 00:06:02,736
My kindergartners
are starting to ask questions
143
00:06:02,737 --> 00:06:04,780
about their classmate with alopecia.
144
00:06:04,781 --> 00:06:06,198
Well, that's only natural, right?
145
00:06:06,199 --> 00:06:08,701
Now, normally,
I would step in on something like this,
146
00:06:08,702 --> 00:06:10,578
but his parents have asked me not to,
147
00:06:10,579 --> 00:06:12,746
and I don't want this
to get out of control.
148
00:06:12,747 --> 00:06:15,332
These parents have no idea
what it's like in a classroom.
149
00:06:15,333 --> 00:06:18,961
But at least they're asking questions,
right? Not just staring.
150
00:06:18,962 --> 00:06:20,754
Oh, they are staring...
151
00:06:20,755 --> 00:06:23,090
- Oh!
- ...and there was a finger point too.
152
00:06:23,091 --> 00:06:26,635
I don't want to single him out.
I just want him to feel comfortable.
153
00:06:26,636 --> 00:06:27,971
Yeah, yeah.
154
00:06:28,513 --> 00:06:30,180
- I got nothing.
- Mmm.
155
00:06:30,181 --> 00:06:31,849
No experience in this area.
156
00:06:31,850 --> 00:06:32,851
Yeah.
157
00:06:34,019 --> 00:06:35,562
But I know someone who does.
158
00:06:38,481 --> 00:06:40,024
When did that get there?
159
00:06:40,025 --> 00:06:42,319
It's new. It's his
first time winning it.
160
00:06:43,236 --> 00:06:44,738
I'm really proud of him.
161
00:06:46,948 --> 00:06:48,782
Mr. Hill said you wanted to see me.
162
00:06:48,783 --> 00:06:50,035
Yes, I did.
163
00:06:50,619 --> 00:06:53,579
Why did you lie to me
about being in Podcast Club?
164
00:06:53,580 --> 00:06:56,457
I don't have to tell you anything.
You're not my teacher.
165
00:06:56,458 --> 00:06:58,250
That's harsh and true,
166
00:06:58,251 --> 00:07:01,629
but as a steward of this school,
I care about all students.
167
00:07:01,630 --> 00:07:04,882
Ms. Teagues, Davon
keeps calling me musty.
168
00:07:04,883 --> 00:07:06,425
I think you should care about that.
169
00:07:06,426 --> 00:07:07,969
No... Courtney.
170
00:07:10,305 --> 00:07:12,140
I don't know why I lied, okay?
171
00:07:12,807 --> 00:07:15,977
I had a lot of homework
and didn't realize how late it was.
172
00:07:16,853 --> 00:07:19,022
That's it. Can I go to class now?
173
00:07:19,939 --> 00:07:21,232
Yeah, you can.
174
00:07:24,444 --> 00:07:28,698
Davon, what did I say
about using the M-word?
175
00:07:30,075 --> 00:07:31,618
I said don't. It's not nice.
176
00:07:32,827 --> 00:07:36,497
My approach has never really
jelled with Courtney, but small win,
177
00:07:36,498 --> 00:07:38,582
she owned up to her lie
and is now safe in class.
178
00:07:39,668 --> 00:07:43,128
And if you'll excuse me,
I am off to go find some air fresheners.
179
00:07:43,129 --> 00:07:45,965
Second graders are very M-word.
180
00:07:51,221 --> 00:07:52,263
Courtney?
181
00:07:53,223 --> 00:07:55,724
Wha... Courtney! Courtney!
182
00:07:55,725 --> 00:07:57,434
Courtney, where are you going?
183
00:07:57,435 --> 00:07:59,520
Courtney, come back to school! Court...
184
00:07:59,521 --> 00:08:00,730
She can't hear me.
185
00:08:04,234 --> 00:08:05,567
Do you mind if we wrap this up?
186
00:08:05,568 --> 00:08:07,263
I only have lunch and
PE without my class
187
00:08:07,275 --> 00:08:08,779
and I'm pulling all kinds of favors.
188
00:08:08,780 --> 00:08:10,864
These are the first check-ins
we've ever had at Abbott.
189
00:08:10,865 --> 00:08:13,826
I'm using my full ten minutes.
Now, about my paycheck...
190
00:08:13,827 --> 00:08:16,078
- Gregory, we have a situation.
- One second.
191
00:08:16,079 --> 00:08:18,038
I don't have a second.
Can you give me special treatment?
192
00:08:18,039 --> 00:08:20,999
Special treatment? Uh-uh.
She gonna just skip the line?
193
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,876
- I'm bringing this up in my check-in.
- Oh, no, no...
194
00:08:22,877 --> 00:08:25,129
Guys, he's not gonna give me
special treatment.
195
00:08:25,130 --> 00:08:27,005
- No, no, no.
- Unless...
196
00:08:27,006 --> 00:08:28,173
No?
197
00:08:28,174 --> 00:08:30,801
Okay, all right, it's totally fine.
I'm gonna go find Ava.
198
00:08:30,802 --> 00:08:32,428
- Talk later? Okay.
- Okay, bye.
199
00:08:32,429 --> 00:08:35,014
Okay, Terry, what were we saying?
200
00:08:37,267 --> 00:08:39,560
Hey, Ava,
can I talk to you about something?
201
00:08:39,561 --> 00:08:40,853
No, check-ins are with Gregory.
202
00:08:40,854 --> 00:08:44,815
Oh, he's swamped.
Anyway, I just saw Courtney leave school
203
00:08:44,816 --> 00:08:47,735
and she was wandering the hallways
late the other evening.
204
00:08:47,736 --> 00:08:49,496
I think something might
be going on with her.
205
00:08:50,238 --> 00:08:51,572
First of all, tattletale.
206
00:08:51,573 --> 00:08:53,073
Second, that's bad
207
00:08:53,074 --> 00:08:55,367
- and not like her at all.
- Right?
208
00:08:55,368 --> 00:08:57,202
I'll talk to her homeroom teacher
and call her parents.
209
00:08:57,203 --> 00:08:59,204
Great, thank you. I appreciate it.
210
00:08:59,205 --> 00:09:01,915
Prove it by Cash Apping me.
I've already sent the request.
211
00:09:01,916 --> 00:09:03,667
How much?
212
00:09:03,668 --> 00:09:05,045
You'll see.
213
00:09:08,006 --> 00:09:11,467
And finally, any goals for this year
that the school can help support?
214
00:09:11,468 --> 00:09:13,511
Look at you. I could cry.
215
00:09:14,387 --> 00:09:15,971
And I will.
216
00:09:15,972 --> 00:09:18,223
I know you see that line of people
behind you. What are your goals?
217
00:09:18,224 --> 00:09:19,851
My goal is to get Melissa fired.
218
00:09:21,019 --> 00:09:22,853
No, I'm kidding, I'm kidding,
219
00:09:22,854 --> 00:09:24,938
but I would like her to knock it off
with the gum chewing. It...
220
00:09:24,939 --> 00:09:27,274
Whoa, excuse me, not so fast.
221
00:09:27,275 --> 00:09:30,110
Listen, you chooch,
my classroom, my rules.
222
00:09:30,111 --> 00:09:31,487
Well, this is my classroom
and everybody's just doi...
223
00:09:31,488 --> 00:09:34,865
It's loud, it's unsanitary,
and at the risk of sounding crude,
224
00:09:34,866 --> 00:09:36,575
- it's tacky.
- Tacky?
225
00:09:36,576 --> 00:09:39,072
Would a tacky woman have a Capodimonte
226
00:09:39,084 --> 00:09:41,789
water feature installed
in her bedroom?
227
00:09:41,790 --> 00:09:42,915
People are waiting.
228
00:09:42,916 --> 00:09:44,666
My kids will be back soon,
all hopped up on PE.
229
00:09:44,667 --> 00:09:46,293
- If we could just...
- Melissa's got an idea.
230
00:09:46,294 --> 00:09:48,337
Give them all a bunch of gum,
right, Melissa?
231
00:09:48,338 --> 00:09:49,463
- Yeah.
- Time's up.
232
00:09:49,464 --> 00:09:53,009
Okay, fine.
I will be back for my check-in later.
233
00:09:54,594 --> 00:09:55,595
Excuse me.
234
00:09:57,055 --> 00:09:59,514
Mr. Johnson, I have
a delicate matter that
235
00:09:59,526 --> 00:10:01,767
I would like to have your thoughts on.
236
00:10:01,768 --> 00:10:03,144
Finally.
237
00:10:04,229 --> 00:10:05,729
How's my boy Justin?
238
00:10:05,730 --> 00:10:07,189
How do you know his name?
239
00:10:07,190 --> 00:10:09,983
Our struggles may be different,
but I clock every bald person
240
00:10:09,984 --> 00:10:11,318
who walks through those doors.
241
00:10:11,319 --> 00:10:13,696
His parents want to protect him,
and so do I.
242
00:10:14,405 --> 00:10:18,117
But ignoring his classmates,
I'm not sure that's the way to do that.
243
00:10:18,118 --> 00:10:19,618
It's not.
244
00:10:19,619 --> 00:10:22,086
When I lost all my
hair, I had no one to
245
00:10:22,098 --> 00:10:24,457
show me the way, no one to look up to.
246
00:10:24,999 --> 00:10:27,084
You see, pressure makes pearls,
247
00:10:27,085 --> 00:10:30,588
and pearls are beautiful
and famously bald.
248
00:10:31,297 --> 00:10:33,258
That's why I became
a champion free diver.
249
00:10:33,883 --> 00:10:36,593
Best thing you can do for that boy
is get him some flippers
250
00:10:36,594 --> 00:10:38,680
and get his classmates some goggles.
251
00:10:39,305 --> 00:10:44,518
Mr. Johnson, this has been very helpful,
not in the way you think.
252
00:10:44,519 --> 00:10:46,688
Or exactly in the way I think.
253
00:10:47,605 --> 00:10:48,772
No.
254
00:10:48,773 --> 00:10:50,649
Then every morning
at the breakfast table,
255
00:10:50,650 --> 00:10:54,570
Jacob's journaling,
so loud you would not believe it.
256
00:10:54,571 --> 00:10:57,489
Journaling is supposed
to be internal, right?
257
00:10:57,490 --> 00:11:00,075
Nah, not the way he does it.
258
00:11:00,076 --> 00:11:02,661
Melissa, anything school-related?
259
00:11:02,662 --> 00:11:04,873
Well, you said no more gum talk, so...
260
00:11:05,540 --> 00:11:07,207
Not so fast.
261
00:11:07,208 --> 00:11:08,709
She's assassinating
my character, isn't she?
262
00:11:08,710 --> 00:11:10,752
- Oh, come on.
- Jacob, you already had your check-in.
263
00:11:10,753 --> 00:11:12,254
That Melissa interrupted.
264
00:11:12,255 --> 00:11:15,632
You know what? I think I figured
this out. Both of you need to leave.
265
00:11:15,633 --> 00:11:18,135
- What about him trying to boss...
- Aren't you gonna discipline...
266
00:11:18,136 --> 00:11:21,264
Leave my office now.
267
00:11:24,350 --> 00:11:25,768
It's a classroom, Gregory.
268
00:11:26,352 --> 00:11:27,395
Wake up.
269
00:11:31,733 --> 00:11:34,359
Oh, hey, Ava, any news?
270
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,946
I was using my VIP entrance
to avoid this interaction, but fine.
271
00:11:37,947 --> 00:11:41,283
Dia found Courtney hanging around
outside. She's in my office now.
272
00:11:41,284 --> 00:11:43,243
Oh, okay.
Did you reach out to her parents?
273
00:11:43,244 --> 00:11:45,245
Yeah, turns out they're divorcing.
274
00:11:45,246 --> 00:11:48,373
Super messy. I would've loved
to have gotten both sides,
275
00:11:48,374 --> 00:11:51,127
but I didn't want to
pry, and she hung up.
276
00:11:52,795 --> 00:11:54,463
Well, uh, wait, sorry.
277
00:11:54,464 --> 00:11:57,883
So are you going to, like, talk to
her about her family issues or...
278
00:11:57,884 --> 00:12:00,844
No. I hated when people did that to me
when I was growing up.
279
00:12:00,845 --> 00:12:02,471
What's there to say?
280
00:12:02,472 --> 00:12:03,680
Exactly.
281
00:12:03,681 --> 00:12:05,316
People get together, babies are
282
00:12:05,328 --> 00:12:07,560
born, couples split
up, hard-knock life.
283
00:12:08,228 --> 00:12:10,979
Courtney's smart,
she doesn't need me to tell her that.
284
00:12:10,980 --> 00:12:13,274
She needs me to remind her
what's at stake.
285
00:12:19,614 --> 00:12:22,616
- Hey, Dia, how you doing?
- Well, my surgery went...
286
00:12:22,617 --> 00:12:24,618
That's great.
Could you just, for one second, shh?
287
00:12:24,619 --> 00:12:26,203
I'm sorry, just quiet.
288
00:12:26,204 --> 00:12:28,580
Skipping class has never helped anyone.
289
00:12:28,581 --> 00:12:30,958
Eighth grade is not the time
to lose focus.
290
00:12:30,959 --> 00:12:32,719
You're Abbott's shining star, but
291
00:12:32,731 --> 00:12:34,878
that comes with a lot of expectations,
292
00:12:34,879 --> 00:12:37,005
and we're here to help you exceed them.
293
00:12:37,006 --> 00:12:40,009
I know you can do it.
You know you can do it, so do it.
294
00:12:41,135 --> 00:12:43,096
Focus on the things you can control.
295
00:12:43,972 --> 00:12:45,515
That will get you through anything.
296
00:12:46,182 --> 00:12:48,101
All right... get back to class.
297
00:12:57,610 --> 00:13:00,821
Okay. I'm sorry, Dia.
What was it about your surgery?
298
00:13:00,822 --> 00:13:02,824
No, don't act like you care now.
299
00:13:05,410 --> 00:13:06,702
- Plus, it sustains...
- What was that?
300
00:13:06,703 --> 00:13:07,911
Yo, Mr. Eddie.
301
00:13:07,912 --> 00:13:10,163
Your students have moves, bro.
They just taught me this dance.
302
00:13:10,164 --> 00:13:11,999
- ...and it smells like...
- Not now.
303
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,626
Guys, just hang tight and take a seat.
Thank you. Thanks, Caleb.
304
00:13:14,627 --> 00:13:18,922
Um, you were saying something
about your... your free periods, right.
305
00:13:18,923 --> 00:13:21,800
- Yes, so...
- Excuse me. Thank you.
306
00:13:21,801 --> 00:13:24,553
- Excuse me. Excuse me.
- You can't cut.
307
00:13:24,554 --> 00:13:26,596
- Ooh! I'm Barbara Howard.
- I'll be right with you, Barbara.
308
00:13:26,597 --> 00:13:29,349
I'm so tired of you
and your little clique.
309
00:13:29,350 --> 00:13:33,271
Y'all think y'all run this school,
but you don't! Man, I'm pissed.
310
00:13:36,649 --> 00:13:39,234
Barbara, did you happen
to schedule an appointment?
311
00:13:39,235 --> 00:13:40,986
Because there's a whole line of people
behind you.
312
00:13:40,987 --> 00:13:42,320
- This can't wait, Gregory.
- Okay.
313
00:13:42,321 --> 00:13:44,448
The school is all out of tape.
Do you have any?
314
00:13:44,449 --> 00:13:47,034
- Are you serious?
- Yes, I'm serious.
315
00:13:47,035 --> 00:13:49,619
I don't right... What happened?
316
00:13:49,620 --> 00:13:51,621
I got my head stuck in a chair.
317
00:13:51,622 --> 00:13:54,541
I got sent to Principal Coleman,
but she sent me to you.
318
00:13:54,542 --> 00:13:57,335
- Okay, all right, well, just take a seat.
- I can't.
319
00:13:57,336 --> 00:13:59,254
Not on that one.
Take a seat on another chair.
320
00:13:59,255 --> 00:14:00,797
Find something else,
and we'll handle it later.
321
00:14:00,798 --> 00:14:03,300
- Hey, Gregory.
- No, no. I...
322
00:14:05,178 --> 00:14:06,179
I can't do this.
323
00:14:08,056 --> 00:14:09,140
I can't do this.
324
00:14:09,766 --> 00:14:11,349
Stage three, self-destruction.
325
00:14:11,350 --> 00:14:13,811
Right on time.
I should write a book on this.
326
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,397
I did.
What To Expect When Proving Men Wrong.
327
00:14:17,398 --> 00:14:19,191
Buy anywhere ebooks are sold.
328
00:14:19,192 --> 00:14:21,277
This is the only physical copy.
329
00:14:29,077 --> 00:14:30,160
Good afternoon, Ava.
330
00:14:30,161 --> 00:14:31,495
How can I help you?
331
00:14:31,496 --> 00:14:34,790
- Well, I tried, but I can't do both jobs.
- Do both jobs.
332
00:14:34,791 --> 00:14:37,085
- I know.
- Then why didn't you say anything?
333
00:14:37,710 --> 00:14:39,630
If I had said something,
would you have listened?
334
00:14:41,714 --> 00:14:42,923
No.
335
00:14:42,924 --> 00:14:44,966
I want to do this
assistant principal thing right,
336
00:14:44,967 --> 00:14:46,677
and I can't do that
if I'm still teaching.
337
00:14:47,678 --> 00:14:48,762
I pulled a list of subs
338
00:14:48,763 --> 00:14:51,014
that you can go through
until we can hire someone full-time.
339
00:14:51,015 --> 00:14:52,346
Threw a couple of AI options in the
340
00:14:52,358 --> 00:14:53,892
mix to see if you learned your lesson.
341
00:14:53,893 --> 00:14:55,268
Thank you.
342
00:14:55,269 --> 00:14:58,439
Welcome to the big leagues,
Assistant Principal Gregory Eddie.
343
00:15:00,358 --> 00:15:01,484
No.
344
00:15:05,113 --> 00:15:07,781
Whoa, hey, where'd you get the tape?
I thought we were out.
345
00:15:07,782 --> 00:15:09,200
Mr. Johnson has some.
346
00:15:09,951 --> 00:15:11,910
Uh, may I ask what it is you're doing?
347
00:15:11,911 --> 00:15:13,495
Well, Janine, I'm crossing a boundary.
348
00:15:13,496 --> 00:15:17,249
- Oh! This early in the year?
- Well, I tried not to,
349
00:15:17,250 --> 00:15:19,503
but I've been doing
this long enough to
350
00:15:19,515 --> 00:15:21,837
know when I need
to follow my instincts.
351
00:15:21,838 --> 00:15:25,508
I have a student that needs reassurance.
352
00:15:27,218 --> 00:15:28,677
Hmm.
353
00:15:28,678 --> 00:15:29,679
Well...
354
00:15:30,263 --> 00:15:34,350
What if it wasn't your student,
but you still thought you could help?
355
00:15:35,518 --> 00:15:36,519
Instincts.
356
00:15:38,271 --> 00:15:39,772
- Thanks, Barb.
- Mm-hmm.
357
00:15:40,606 --> 00:15:42,400
But seriously,
what the hell are you doing?
358
00:15:44,777 --> 00:15:48,531
Someone parked in my spot again.
Jesus, this neighborhood!
359
00:15:49,073 --> 00:15:52,535
Yeah, this neighborhood wasn't
a problem for you when you moved in.
360
00:15:55,204 --> 00:15:59,207
- Spaghetti again?
- Yeah, I had a hard day.
361
00:15:59,208 --> 00:16:01,877
I wanted a little comfort food.
Is that all right with you?
362
00:16:01,878 --> 00:16:03,370
I'm just saying I had a hard day too.
363
00:16:03,382 --> 00:16:05,130
Jeez, you can't say
anything around here.
364
00:16:05,131 --> 00:16:08,425
Here we go again. First it's the gum.
Now it's my cooking.
365
00:16:08,426 --> 00:16:11,303
You know, I don't charge extra for this.
This food's included.
366
00:16:11,304 --> 00:16:14,222
Is it so much to ask for
a little variation at dinner time?
367
00:16:14,223 --> 00:16:16,183
- Well, then you cook it.
- I like spaghetti.
368
00:16:16,184 --> 00:16:17,601
- Thank you.
- Go to my room!
369
00:16:17,602 --> 00:16:19,227
Hey, don't talk to him like that!
370
00:16:19,228 --> 00:16:22,230
This is my house that I rent.
I can do what...
371
00:16:22,231 --> 00:16:23,982
Is there another man here?
372
00:16:23,983 --> 00:16:25,525
Yeah, Chief Rob!
373
00:16:25,526 --> 00:16:26,611
Oh, right. Duh.
374
00:16:30,573 --> 00:16:31,698
What happened to us?
375
00:16:31,699 --> 00:16:33,241
This isn't who we are.
376
00:16:33,242 --> 00:16:34,409
No.
377
00:16:34,410 --> 00:16:36,996
Can you just get the kids
to stop chewing gum in my class?
378
00:16:37,705 --> 00:16:39,154
Yeah, you know, I'll just get them to,
379
00:16:39,166 --> 00:16:40,666
like, throw it out before they leave.
380
00:16:42,251 --> 00:16:43,668
This spaghetti is delicious.
381
00:16:47,048 --> 00:16:51,259
Some of us have tall hair,
some of us have small hair.
382
00:16:51,260 --> 00:16:56,056
Some of us might have no hair at all,
like Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson.
383
00:16:56,057 --> 00:16:57,140
Yes, sweetheart.
384
00:16:57,141 --> 00:16:59,017
Who's that, Ms. Howard?
385
00:16:59,018 --> 00:17:01,686
Justin, I'm so glad
you asked that question.
386
00:17:01,687 --> 00:17:05,565
This is Christopher Reeve,
and he had alopecia,
387
00:17:05,566 --> 00:17:08,193
but do you know
what we called him in my day?
388
00:17:08,194 --> 00:17:09,486
What?
389
00:17:09,487 --> 00:17:11,196
Superman!
390
00:17:11,197 --> 00:17:13,573
- Ooh!
- Mm-hmm.
391
00:17:13,574 --> 00:17:17,702
The most important thing
isn't what's on your head,
392
00:17:17,703 --> 00:17:21,873
it's what's in your head, your mind.
393
00:17:25,836 --> 00:17:29,214
Wait. Why isn't my
picture above Jordan's?
394
00:17:29,215 --> 00:17:30,883
I'm S-Tier, Barb.
395
00:17:31,467 --> 00:17:32,842
S-Tier.
396
00:17:32,843 --> 00:17:35,554
Mr. Johnson, I do not know
what that means, but good for you.
397
00:17:35,555 --> 00:17:38,432
Mrs. Howard, why aren't you bald?
398
00:17:39,725 --> 00:17:42,144
Mrs. Howard?
399
00:17:43,312 --> 00:17:45,021
Hey, Courtney.
400
00:17:45,022 --> 00:17:46,940
- Am I in trouble?
- No, no, no, no.
401
00:17:46,941 --> 00:17:50,110
I was thinking of making some
modifications to my jungle classroom
402
00:17:50,111 --> 00:17:52,572
and I just wanted to know
if I could get your feedback.
403
00:17:53,823 --> 00:17:55,241
- Okay.
- Yeah?
404
00:18:02,123 --> 00:18:03,748
There aren't dinosaurs in the jungle.
405
00:18:03,749 --> 00:18:05,542
There are not.
406
00:18:05,543 --> 00:18:08,837
It's not my place
to put any more pressure on Courtney
407
00:18:08,838 --> 00:18:11,007
or to try to fix her family issues.
408
00:18:11,841 --> 00:18:14,009
But I think I could be there for her.
409
00:18:14,010 --> 00:18:17,471
You know, Courtney, believe it or not,
I used to cut class.
410
00:18:18,264 --> 00:18:21,224
Yeah, I would go down to the art museum.
411
00:18:21,225 --> 00:18:23,893
So what about you? Did you go
anywhere fun? Or did you go home?
412
00:18:23,894 --> 00:18:27,439
I didn't want to go home.
Um, I went to South Street.
413
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,190
You went clubbing?
414
00:18:29,191 --> 00:18:31,208
No, I went to Ishkabibble's,
415
00:18:31,220 --> 00:18:32,944
got a cheesesteak, walked around.
416
00:18:32,945 --> 00:18:35,572
Okay, yeah, good food, fresh air.
I get that.
417
00:18:35,573 --> 00:18:37,157
Principal Coleman
already talked to me about it.
418
00:18:37,158 --> 00:18:38,743
I'm not going to cut class anymore.
419
00:18:39,452 --> 00:18:40,786
Good. Good.
420
00:18:41,829 --> 00:18:44,831
And Courtney, look, just so you know,
421
00:18:44,832 --> 00:18:48,377
if you ever need to talk,
my door is always open.
422
00:18:50,129 --> 00:18:52,423
How did that get shut?
I'm sorry, excuse me.
423
00:18:54,383 --> 00:18:56,594
- Always open.
- Always open.
424
00:18:57,803 --> 00:18:59,012
- Have a good day.
- Bye.
425
00:18:59,013 --> 00:19:00,306
I'm breaking through.
426
00:19:00,931 --> 00:19:02,932
And I'm going to take a look
at the dinosaurs.
427
00:19:02,933 --> 00:19:05,685
They seem to be hurting
more than they're helping, so...
428
00:19:05,686 --> 00:19:08,773
Oh, hey, I brought
enough for both of us.
429
00:19:10,775 --> 00:19:13,026
Oh, don't worry, Gregory,
we renewed our vows.
430
00:19:13,027 --> 00:19:14,611
Great. I knew you could.
431
00:19:14,612 --> 00:19:16,696
- See why I don't get involved?
- Mm-hmm.
432
00:19:16,697 --> 00:19:19,074
We binged a season of Couples Therapy
and talked it out.
433
00:19:19,075 --> 00:19:21,868
Yeah, those couples think
that being married is tough?
434
00:19:21,869 --> 00:19:24,205
They should try being
roommates and coworkers.
435
00:19:25,623 --> 00:19:27,333
He loves my spaghetti, by the way.
436
00:19:28,334 --> 00:19:29,460
Yeah.
437
00:19:31,087 --> 00:19:32,380
Okay, this is you.
438
00:19:37,551 --> 00:19:38,552
Hey.
439
00:19:40,054 --> 00:19:42,472
So you still down
for happy hour after school?
440
00:19:42,473 --> 00:19:44,474
Yes, please.
I've been looking forward to it.
441
00:19:44,475 --> 00:19:45,642
Good.
442
00:19:45,643 --> 00:19:47,477
- Hey, Ms. Teagues.
- Hey, Courtney.
443
00:19:47,478 --> 00:19:49,480
Are you going to be around
after school today?
444
00:19:50,189 --> 00:19:51,649
- I will be.
- Cool.
445
00:19:53,818 --> 00:19:54,819
Rain check?
446
00:19:56,946 --> 00:19:58,613
Good morning.
447
00:19:58,614 --> 00:20:00,491
Oh!
448
00:20:01,617 --> 00:20:04,744
Seeing that smile
on Justin's little face,
449
00:20:04,745 --> 00:20:08,748
knowing I made a difference,
ooh, that never gets old.
450
00:20:08,749 --> 00:20:10,250
Mm-mmm.
451
00:20:10,251 --> 00:20:11,460
God, I'm good.
452
00:20:12,253 --> 00:20:14,462
And God is good.
453
00:20:14,463 --> 00:20:15,839
All the time.
454
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:17,133
Amen.
455
00:20:17,967 --> 00:20:20,635
What the hell is my son
learning in your class
456
00:20:20,636 --> 00:20:23,930
that made him think
he should shave his head bald?
457
00:20:23,931 --> 00:20:27,684
I just wanted to be like Mike.
458
00:20:27,685 --> 00:20:30,228
Are you teaching these kids
Chicago Bulls propaganda?
459
00:20:30,229 --> 00:20:32,083
I'm teaching them to respect each
460
00:20:32,095 --> 00:20:34,357
other and embrace their individuality.
461
00:20:34,358 --> 00:20:37,736
- And you, you're looking good, sweetheart.
- Thank you.
462
00:20:37,737 --> 00:20:38,945
Yes.
463
00:20:38,946 --> 00:20:42,574
You know, perhaps you might consider
placing the clippers out of reach.
464
00:20:42,575 --> 00:20:46,619
Now, that is parental tip
from yours truly, Barbara Howard.
465
00:20:46,620 --> 00:20:48,247
Have a good day. Bye-bye.
466
00:20:50,458 --> 00:20:52,584
So Sonny's been trying to whack Sidwell
467
00:20:52,585 --> 00:20:54,335
since Sidwell put a hit out on Sonny.
468
00:20:54,336 --> 00:20:55,754
And Sonny's adopted son, Michael,
469
00:20:55,755 --> 00:20:58,006
almost died in a penthouse firebomb
he meant for Sonny.
470
00:20:58,007 --> 00:21:00,759
And Sonny almost killed
his other son, Dante.
471
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:02,927
For being an undercover cop,
but then he realized they were related.
472
00:21:02,928 --> 00:21:04,137
Yeah, they got through all of that.
473
00:21:04,138 --> 00:21:07,098
But when Sonny's grandson, Gio,
returns to the Quartermaine Mansion...
474
00:21:07,099 --> 00:21:09,225
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
whose kid is Gio?
475
00:21:09,226 --> 00:21:10,643
That's an interesting question.
476
00:21:10,644 --> 00:21:12,061
- So...
- Look what I found.
477
00:21:12,062 --> 00:21:14,939
Someone hid it in the pocket
of the pants I was wearing Monday.
478
00:21:14,940 --> 00:21:17,650
Mr. Johnson, thank you.
You found the remote.
479
00:21:17,651 --> 00:21:20,153
- Now we can finally turn this up.
- Yeah.
480
00:21:22,072 --> 00:21:23,364
Mmm.
481
00:21:23,365 --> 00:21:24,366
Oh!
482
00:21:24,577 --> 00:21:30,067
