1
00:00:01,042 --> 00:00:03,336
- (school bell rings) - JANINE: Oh, Nina,
2
00:00:03,420 --> 00:00:05,672
excellent sentence structure.
3
00:00:05,672 --> 00:00:08,174
Let me see. "My favorite movie
is Toy Story,
4
00:00:08,258 --> 00:00:10,176
and my favorite character
is Woody."
5
00:00:10,260 --> 00:00:11,928
Good. Mine too.
6
00:00:12,012 --> 00:00:15,056
Well, more of a Buzz girl.
I love his ambition.
7
00:00:15,140 --> 00:00:16,307
- Right, guys?
- CHILD: Yeah.
8
00:00:16,391 --> 00:00:18,309
Okay, let's see.
Uh, Brittany.
9
00:00:18,393 --> 00:00:19,519
"My favorite movie
10
00:00:19,519 --> 00:00:21,855
- is American Gangster."
- Yep.
11
00:00:21,855 --> 00:00:24,983
"And my favorite character
is Frank Lucas."
12
00:00:24,983 --> 00:00:27,193
Okay.
That is a great sentence.
13
00:00:27,277 --> 00:00:29,571
And I will be having
a third talk with your mom
14
00:00:29,571 --> 00:00:31,489
about what you're watching
at home.
15
00:00:31,573 --> 00:00:34,534
Ow! Ms. Teagues,
Andrew hit me!
16
00:00:34,534 --> 00:00:37,328
Andrew, apologize.
17
00:00:38,705 --> 00:00:44,878
1...2...3...4.
18
00:00:44,878 --> 00:00:45,962
I'm Janine Teagues.
19
00:00:46,046 --> 00:00:47,630
I've been teaching second grade
20
00:00:47,714 --> 00:00:49,674
here at Abbott Elementary
for a year now.
21
00:00:49,758 --> 00:00:52,010
...8...9...
22
00:00:52,010 --> 00:00:54,512
And as a product of
the Philadelphia school system,
23
00:00:54,596 --> 00:00:57,974
I'm proud to say I survived
and now teach here today.
24
00:00:58,058 --> 00:00:59,809
All right, guys, so,
there have been three presidents
25
00:00:59,893 --> 00:01:02,062
since this one, okay?
It's an old book,
26
00:01:02,062 --> 00:01:04,564
so here's where I taped in
the others.
27
00:01:04,564 --> 00:01:06,733
I'd say the main problem
in this school district is,
28
00:01:06,733 --> 00:01:08,193
yeah, no money.
29
00:01:08,193 --> 00:01:10,362
Uh, the city says
there isn't any,
30
00:01:10,362 --> 00:01:12,864
but they're doing a
multimillion-dollar renovation
31
00:01:12,864 --> 00:01:14,657
to the Eagles' stadium
down the street from here.
32
00:01:14,741 --> 00:01:16,368
But we just make do.
33
00:01:16,368 --> 00:01:18,995
I mean, the staff here
is incredible.
34
00:01:19,079 --> 00:01:21,414
They're all amazing teachers.
35
00:01:21,498 --> 00:01:23,041
I really look up to them all.
36
00:01:23,041 --> 00:01:24,834
- (children shouting)
- Please, sit down!
37
00:01:24,918 --> 00:01:26,169
Why?!
38
00:01:26,169 --> 00:01:28,129
Well, I look up to
the older ones.
39
00:01:28,213 --> 00:01:31,424
We younger teachers are still
getting the hang of it...
40
00:01:31,508 --> 00:01:33,677
if we don't end up leaving.
41
00:01:33,677 --> 00:01:35,553
Look, I know
this school is rough,
42
00:01:35,637 --> 00:01:36,846
but I became a teacher
43
00:01:36,930 --> 00:01:38,765
to make sure
students come out alive.
44
00:01:38,765 --> 00:01:41,142
And after learning a lot
in my first year,
45
00:01:41,226 --> 00:01:42,852
I finally feel on top of things.
46
00:01:42,936 --> 00:01:44,854
(liquid trickling)
47
00:01:44,938 --> 00:01:47,065
Jamal,
what are you doing?
48
00:01:47,065 --> 00:01:49,150
I had to go,
and the toilets don't work.
49
00:01:49,234 --> 00:01:50,902
And the rug was Plan B?!
50
00:01:50,902 --> 00:01:53,405

53
00:02:06,418 --> 00:02:08,378
Janine, why are you putting
that rug away?
54
00:02:08,378 --> 00:02:10,630
Erica, I told you
to call me Ms. Teagues.
55
00:02:10,714 --> 00:02:13,466
I'm an adult, though we are
almost the same height.
56
00:02:13,550 --> 00:02:14,801
And there's a little bit
too much pee on it.
57
00:02:14,801 --> 00:02:16,136
Mm!
58
00:02:16,136 --> 00:02:17,512
Yeah, but where do we sit
for story time?
59
00:02:17,512 --> 00:02:20,473
(sighs) I will
figure something out, okay?
60
00:02:20,557 --> 00:02:22,559
Losing the rug is a big deal.
61
00:02:22,559 --> 00:02:24,060
For primary classes,
62
00:02:24,227 --> 00:02:27,022
rugs are like a calming space
for the kids.
63
00:02:27,022 --> 00:02:28,815
It's like a Xanax.
64
00:02:28,815 --> 00:02:32,444
Like a huge Xanax
for kids to sit on.
65
00:02:34,404 --> 00:02:38,033
Janine.
Turn that down, please!
66
00:02:38,033 --> 00:02:40,744
I'm trying to teach my
kindergartners the letter "C,"
67
00:02:40,744 --> 00:02:43,246
and they are distracted
by this song.
68
00:02:43,246 --> 00:02:45,540
It's like "Back That Azz Up"
for kids.
69
00:02:45,540 --> 00:02:49,044
Hey, guys, um,
could you sit down, please?
70
00:02:49,044 --> 00:02:51,713
Guys,
I'm gonna count to 3.
71
00:02:51,713 --> 00:02:53,715
1...2...
72
00:02:53,715 --> 00:02:56,634
And I am not counting.
Sit down!

(music stops)
74
00:03:00,221 --> 00:03:03,058
I'm Barbara Howard,
woman of God.
75
00:03:03,058 --> 00:03:05,143
I do my work, I go home.
76
00:03:05,143 --> 00:03:06,936
I get my nails done every week.
77
00:03:07,020 --> 00:03:09,647
And... I love teaching.
78
00:03:09,731 --> 00:03:12,275
That is incredible,
Ms. Howard.
79
00:03:12,359 --> 00:03:14,027
I can't wait to get
on that level.
80
00:03:14,027 --> 00:03:15,320
Where is your class,
by the way?
81
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,697
Out in the hallway
in a single file.
82
00:03:17,781 --> 00:03:19,324
- Really?
- Mm-hmm.
83
00:03:21,159 --> 00:03:24,662
KINDERGARTNERS:
Good morning, Ms. Teagues!
84
00:03:24,746 --> 00:03:26,498
You know, Ms. Howard,
you remind me so much
85
00:03:26,498 --> 00:03:29,167
of my favorite teacher from
the third grade, Ms. Elliot.
86
00:03:29,167 --> 00:03:31,419
She was well-dressed,
good with kids,
87
00:03:31,503 --> 00:03:33,129
a wizard with a glue gun --
88
00:03:33,213 --> 00:03:35,006
Thank you, Janine.
That is very kind of you.
89
00:03:35,090 --> 00:03:37,258
Yeah, I-I wanted to be
just like her, actually.
90
00:03:37,342 --> 00:03:38,510
I was, like,
obsessed with her.
91
00:03:38,510 --> 00:03:40,261
She wrote
in my report card note,
92
00:03:40,345 --> 00:03:42,472
"Needs friends her own age.
A bit clingy."
93
00:03:42,472 --> 00:03:43,515
- She was a hoot.
- Yes.
94
00:03:43,515 --> 00:03:44,766
Anyway, hey,
did you get my e-mail
95
00:03:44,766 --> 00:03:47,102
about the two of us hanging
together after school or...
96
00:03:47,102 --> 00:03:49,688
No.
It must have gone to spam.
97
00:03:49,688 --> 00:03:51,189
It's so crazy how my e-mails
98
00:03:51,189 --> 00:03:52,982
do that with you
and nobody else.
99
00:03:53,066 --> 00:03:54,859
Uh...
Class, turn around.
100
00:03:54,943 --> 00:03:57,112
Bye, Mom -- I'm sorry.
Ms. Howard.
101
00:03:57,112 --> 00:03:58,863
Bye, Ms. Howard.
102
00:03:58,947 --> 00:04:02,242
(indistinct conversations)
103
00:04:02,242 --> 00:04:04,035
Janine, Janine,
you're not gonna believe this.
104
00:04:04,119 --> 00:04:06,204
Rachel freakin' Maddow
just retweeted me.
105
00:04:06,204 --> 00:04:09,249
- Wow!
- So I basically work for MSNBC.
106
00:04:09,249 --> 00:04:10,917
I'm Jacob Hill.
107
00:04:11,001 --> 00:04:13,420
Uh, I like to say
I teach history,
108
00:04:13,420 --> 00:04:14,879
but I live in the present.
109
00:04:14,963 --> 00:04:16,548
Jacob and I came in together
last year
110
00:04:16,548 --> 00:04:18,133
with 20 other teachers.
111
00:04:18,133 --> 00:04:20,176
We're two of the three left.
112
00:04:20,260 --> 00:04:22,929
So trauma bonding, I guess?
113
00:04:23,013 --> 00:04:24,389
Hey, do you want
cheese steaks
114
00:04:24,389 --> 00:04:25,640
from the corner store
for lunch today?
115
00:04:25,724 --> 00:04:27,142
Uh, not --
not from there.
116
00:04:27,142 --> 00:04:29,728
The guy behind the counter,
he calls me "white boy."
117
00:04:29,728 --> 00:04:31,563
Well, it's like
a term of endearment,
118
00:04:31,563 --> 00:04:33,356
and, like, if you don't like it,
just ask him to stop.
119
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:34,441
No way.
120
00:04:34,441 --> 00:04:36,693
There's an entire chapter in
White Fragility on that, okay?
121
00:04:36,693 --> 00:04:38,111
Robin DiAngelo, she says,
122
00:04:38,111 --> 00:04:39,821
"When you start policing
people who have --"
123
00:04:39,821 --> 00:04:42,323
Hey, Melissa, can you please
tell "Ta-Nehisi Quotes" here
124
00:04:42,407 --> 00:04:43,700
that "white boy" is
a term of endearment
125
00:04:43,700 --> 00:04:45,285
from the corner-store
people?
126
00:04:45,285 --> 00:04:47,620
For Zach Ertz, yeah.
For him, it's an insult.
127
00:04:47,704 --> 00:04:49,205
Hmm?
128
00:04:49,289 --> 00:04:50,957
Uh... Melissa.
129
00:04:53,543 --> 00:04:55,587
Schemmenti.
Second-grade teacher.
130
00:04:55,587 --> 00:04:56,921
What's half of 100?
131
00:04:57,005 --> 00:04:58,256
CHILDREN: 50!
132
00:04:58,340 --> 00:05:00,967
Also, $100,
known as a C-note.
133
00:05:01,051 --> 00:05:03,303
You Sicilian?
134
00:05:03,303 --> 00:05:05,513
Italian?
135
00:05:05,597 --> 00:05:07,766
You from South?
136
00:05:07,766 --> 00:05:09,267
Okay, you guys
working with the cops?
137
00:05:09,351 --> 00:05:10,602
'Cause you gotta tell me.
138
00:05:10,602 --> 00:05:12,687
Whew!
Guys, I need a new rug.
139
00:05:12,771 --> 00:05:13,938
Mine is officially done.
140
00:05:14,022 --> 00:05:15,357
Mmm! Me too.
141
00:05:15,357 --> 00:05:17,067
I shook mine out,
and all of the asthma kids
142
00:05:17,067 --> 00:05:18,276
had to go to the nurse's office.
143
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:19,444
Yeah, mine's busted.
144
00:05:19,444 --> 00:05:20,862
And you can't
class up a rug
145
00:05:20,862 --> 00:05:23,073
like you can a couch
with a nice coat of plastic.
146
00:05:23,073 --> 00:05:26,284
Hey-yo! What it do, baby-boos?
What y'all think about
147
00:05:26,368 --> 00:05:27,410
this little film crew
I brought in here?
148
00:05:27,494 --> 00:05:29,662
Distracting,
makes our jobs harder.
149
00:05:29,746 --> 00:05:31,456
But exciting.
We about to be on TV.
150
00:05:31,456 --> 00:05:34,501
Because they are covering
underfunded, poorly managed
151
00:05:34,501 --> 00:05:36,336
public schools in America.
152
00:05:36,336 --> 00:05:37,879
No press
is bad press, Barb.
153
00:05:37,879 --> 00:05:39,798
Look at Mel Gibson.
Still thriving.
154
00:05:39,798 --> 00:05:42,342
(laughs) Daddy's Home 2?
Hilarious!
155
00:05:42,342 --> 00:05:43,927
JANINE:
Ava's our principal.
156
00:05:43,927 --> 00:05:47,847
She has a...
unique take on her job.
157
00:05:47,931 --> 00:05:49,182
She's bad at her job.
158
00:05:49,182 --> 00:05:51,101
What's unique is that
she's bad at her job.
159
00:05:51,101 --> 00:05:53,186
There you are.
Ava, can I talk to you?
160
00:05:53,186 --> 00:05:54,938
Uh, I need an aide.
161
00:05:54,938 --> 00:05:57,190
I'm outnumbered in there.
The kids are crazy.
162
00:05:57,190 --> 00:05:59,442
One of them told me
to mind my six this morning.
163
00:05:59,526 --> 00:06:01,611
I don't know what that means,
and I need help.
164
00:06:01,695 --> 00:06:03,488
Calm down.
They're just kids.
165
00:06:03,488 --> 00:06:06,074
And, besides, aides cost money,
and we don't have that.
166
00:06:06,074 --> 00:06:07,951
- Right, but I just --
- Do you want to split
167
00:06:07,951 --> 00:06:09,577
- your salary with somebody else?
- No.
168
00:06:09,661 --> 00:06:11,079
No, no.
I didn't think so.
169
00:06:11,079 --> 00:06:14,249
Well, if we can't get aides,
maybe we can get new rugs?
170
00:06:14,249 --> 00:06:17,127
All I'm hearing is, "New, new,
new, need, need, need."
171
00:06:17,127 --> 00:06:18,670
And, yet, Barb,
172
00:06:18,670 --> 00:06:20,755
one of our best
and most senior teachers here,
173
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,967
she never complains.
What is your secret, Barb?
174
00:06:23,967 --> 00:06:26,928
Knowing there's not much
you can do, Ava.
175
00:06:27,012 --> 00:06:28,388
So understanding.
176
00:06:28,388 --> 00:06:29,681
Be like Ms. Howard, people.
177
00:06:29,681 --> 00:06:31,182
- (school bell rings)
- (chuckles)
178
00:06:31,266 --> 00:06:33,476
(sniffles)
But I'm not Ms. Howard.
179
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:37,564
Oh! Tina, look, just try
some counting exercises.
180
00:06:37,564 --> 00:06:40,150
Somewhere between 1 and 40,
the kids calm down.
181
00:06:40,150 --> 00:06:41,359
Uh...
182
00:06:41,443 --> 00:06:43,069
Oh. (sighs)
183
00:06:43,153 --> 00:06:44,738
You know, a little support
184
00:06:44,738 --> 00:06:46,781
might help
make things happen, ladies.
185
00:06:46,865 --> 00:06:48,158
My support was gonna do
about as much
186
00:06:48,158 --> 00:06:50,493
as that five-year-old bra
you've got on right there.
187
00:06:50,577 --> 00:06:53,163
Hey, it's not impossible
to get things.
188
00:06:53,163 --> 00:06:55,415
Melissa asked for
those new toy cash registers
189
00:06:55,415 --> 00:06:56,541
for her classroom
and got them.
190
00:06:56,541 --> 00:06:57,792
Yeah, those aren't toys.
191
00:06:57,876 --> 00:07:00,211
I know a guy who worked
a Walmart demolition.
192
00:07:00,295 --> 00:07:01,546
I got a guy
for everything.
193
00:07:01,546 --> 00:07:04,049
I know a guy right now
working the stadium build.
194
00:07:04,049 --> 00:07:05,967
- Need rebar?
- No.
195
00:07:06,051 --> 00:07:09,304
Melissa is resourceful,
capable.
196
00:07:09,304 --> 00:07:11,723
Well, I think the younger
teachers are capable.
197
00:07:11,723 --> 00:07:13,099
Really? Then why is it
198
00:07:13,183 --> 00:07:15,185
that Ms. Schwartz's hair
is falling out?
199
00:07:15,185 --> 00:07:17,145
Why does Jacob here
need a smoking break
200
00:07:17,145 --> 00:07:18,229
every five minutes?
201
00:07:18,313 --> 00:07:19,314
I switched to
an herbal vape.
202
00:07:19,314 --> 00:07:20,815
And why can't any of you
stick it out
203
00:07:20,899 --> 00:07:22,442
longer than two years?
204
00:07:22,442 --> 00:07:24,861
More turnovers
than a bakery.
205
00:07:24,861 --> 00:07:26,613
(door opens)
206
00:07:26,613 --> 00:07:28,198
Ouch.
(chuckles)
207
00:07:28,198 --> 00:07:29,908
(door closes)
208
00:07:29,908 --> 00:07:32,202
You know what? Hell, I think
we should still try for rugs.
209
00:07:32,202 --> 00:07:33,495
Yeah.
210
00:07:33,495 --> 00:07:35,830
You know, before I taught here,
I was in Zimbabwe.
211
00:07:35,914 --> 00:07:37,332
I was doing
Teachers Without Borders,
212
00:07:37,332 --> 00:07:38,833
- and what I learned --
- Jacob,
213
00:07:38,917 --> 00:07:40,669
what did I say about, like,
not talking
214
00:07:40,669 --> 00:07:42,712
about your time
in Africa?
215
00:07:42,796 --> 00:07:44,047
- You -- You told me to --
- I told you to stop.
216
00:07:44,047 --> 00:07:45,965
Yeah, it's weird.
217
00:07:46,049 --> 00:07:48,093
The new-teacher track record
here isn't great,
218
00:07:48,093 --> 00:07:49,844
but, ultimately,
we are passionate
219
00:07:49,928 --> 00:07:51,638
and capable of doing this job.
220
00:07:51,638 --> 00:07:54,099
Janine, Ms. Schwartz
just kicked Rajon,
221
00:07:54,099 --> 00:07:56,685
and everyone's in the hallway
going crazy.
222
00:07:56,685 --> 00:07:57,727
Wait. What?
223
00:07:57,811 --> 00:07:58,770
(indistinct shouting)
224
00:07:58,770 --> 00:08:01,147
All right, all right.
Calm down.
225
00:08:01,231 --> 00:08:03,149
- Calm down.
- What happened?
226
00:08:03,233 --> 00:08:05,652
- He hit me first!
- Liar!
227
00:08:05,652 --> 00:08:06,861
I'm a liar?!
I'm the liar?!
228
00:08:06,945 --> 00:08:09,030
Okay, aspetta.
Calm it down.
229
00:08:09,114 --> 00:08:12,242
I wonder if she tried counting.
(chuckles)
230
00:08:12,242 --> 00:08:14,285
JACOB: All right, let's get you
to the nurse.
231
00:08:16,162 --> 00:08:17,872
You do not hit a kid.
232
00:08:17,956 --> 00:08:19,749
It's like the one thing
you don't do.
233
00:08:19,833 --> 00:08:21,793
- You could threaten them.
- You can yell at them.
234
00:08:21,793 --> 00:08:23,003
Threaten the parents.
235
00:08:23,003 --> 00:08:24,629
Mildly embarrass them.
236
00:08:24,713 --> 00:08:26,214
I threatened a grandfather once.
237
00:08:26,214 --> 00:08:28,216
You just don't kick a kid.
238
00:08:28,216 --> 00:08:29,342
There was the bet.
You didn't do --
239
00:08:29,426 --> 00:08:30,427
- Okay.
- Oh.
240
00:08:30,427 --> 00:08:31,636
So, not good.
241
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,138
Ms. Schwartz was out of line
242
00:08:33,138 --> 00:08:34,848
and clearly didn't know
how to handle her class.
243
00:08:34,848 --> 00:08:36,641
- You hired her.
- And fired her.
244
00:08:36,725 --> 00:08:38,476
They give me a lot of power
around here. It's crazy.
245
00:08:38,560 --> 00:08:41,396
In the meantime, Mr. Johnson
will be watching her class.
246
00:08:41,396 --> 00:08:42,981
Wait. Sorry.
Mr. Johnson, the janitor?
247
00:08:44,315 --> 00:08:47,027
That's who runs the world, kids.
248
00:08:47,027 --> 00:08:49,696
I think maybe we should alert
the school district to this.
249
00:08:49,696 --> 00:08:50,822
I mean, a child was harmed.
250
00:08:50,822 --> 00:08:53,199
Hey! H-Harmed?
I handled this.
251
00:08:53,283 --> 00:08:55,160
No need to let them know that
a child was harmed on my wa--
252
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,495
on the school's watch,
to be clear.
253
00:08:57,579 --> 00:08:58,955
Ava, this is not handled.
254
00:08:59,039 --> 00:09:01,458
There is a 70-year-old custodian
who voted for Kanye
255
00:09:01,458 --> 00:09:02,500
teaching social studies
right now.
256
00:09:02,584 --> 00:09:05,045
We need help. Look, I know
we don't have any money --
257
00:09:05,045 --> 00:09:07,339
Okay! All right,
I'll make a small
258
00:09:07,339 --> 00:09:08,923
emergency budget request
to the district,
259
00:09:09,007 --> 00:09:10,884
and you guys can get pencils
and hire aides
260
00:09:10,884 --> 00:09:11,968
or whatever else you need.
261
00:09:12,052 --> 00:09:14,804
- So even rugs?
- Sure! Just e-mail a request.
262
00:09:14,888 --> 00:09:16,681
Okay, I can --
I can write an e-mail.
263
00:09:16,765 --> 00:09:18,683
Another day
in principal life.
264
00:09:18,767 --> 00:09:23,188
♪ I believe the children
are our future ♪
265
00:09:23,188 --> 00:09:25,273
Yes! Hear that?
266
00:09:25,357 --> 00:09:27,817
- Ask and receive.
- Mm.
267
00:09:27,901 --> 00:09:30,320
(school bell rings)
268
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,072
- I'll get you two.
- Okay.
269
00:09:33,907 --> 00:09:36,117
Um...hello?
270
00:09:36,201 --> 00:09:37,911
I'm looking for
Ms. Coleman.
271
00:09:37,911 --> 00:09:40,455
Oh, yeah, she --
272
00:09:40,455 --> 00:09:41,998
Hello.
273
00:09:42,082 --> 00:09:44,084
Hi. I'm Gregory Eddie.
I'm the sub for the teacher
274
00:09:44,084 --> 00:09:46,544
who, uh...
punted a student.
275
00:09:46,628 --> 00:09:49,047
Oh! You're the sub.
Forgive me.
276
00:09:49,047 --> 00:09:51,508
I thought one of my colleagues
here hired a stripper for me.
277
00:09:51,508 --> 00:09:52,801
(laughs)
278
00:09:52,801 --> 00:09:54,052
Okay.
279
00:09:54,052 --> 00:09:55,595
Nice to meet you,
young man.
280
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,972
- Yeah, you too.
- Yeah, nice to meet you, Ryan.
281
00:09:58,056 --> 00:09:59,099
It's Gregory.
282
00:09:59,099 --> 00:10:01,059
Eh, let's see
how long you'll be here.
283
00:10:01,059 --> 00:10:03,228
Then I'll remember your name,
okay, Tim?
284
00:10:04,270 --> 00:10:06,314
Yes! My dude.
285
00:10:06,398 --> 00:10:08,817
(chuckles)
Oh, yeah.
286
00:10:08,817 --> 00:10:10,944
Yeah. Keepin' it profesh.
I like that.
287
00:10:10,944 --> 00:10:12,612
I'm Jacob.
288
00:10:12,696 --> 00:10:14,698
It's nice to see
another male teacher in here.
289
00:10:14,698 --> 00:10:16,449
- Hmm!
- There's not a lot of us.
290
00:10:16,533 --> 00:10:18,660
Hey, now I got somebody
to talk sports with.
291
00:10:18,660 --> 00:10:20,995
You like women's tennis?
292
00:10:21,079 --> 00:10:23,707
Or, as I call it, you know,
regular tennis.
293
00:10:24,791 --> 00:10:26,334
I'm subbing here
because I need a job
294
00:10:26,418 --> 00:10:27,544
until I can become principal.
295
00:10:27,544 --> 00:10:29,671
It's what I studied for.
296
00:10:29,671 --> 00:10:31,881
I actually interviewed here
and got it, but then --
297
00:10:31,965 --> 00:10:33,633
I don't know --
something happened.
298
00:10:33,717 --> 00:10:35,593
I go to the same church
as the Superintendent.
299
00:10:35,677 --> 00:10:37,345
Caught him cheating on his wife
with the deaconess.
300
00:10:37,429 --> 00:10:39,014
I needed a job.
301
00:10:39,014 --> 00:10:45,186
"Is your school sick?
Try prescription rugs." Classic.
302
00:10:45,270 --> 00:10:46,646
CHILD:
(cough, splatter)
303
00:10:46,730 --> 00:10:48,857
- CHILDREN: Ewwww!
- Oh, my God!
304
00:10:48,857 --> 00:10:51,151
- Bria, what happened?
- I threw up.
305
00:10:51,151 --> 00:10:53,820
Great communication skills,
Bria.
306
00:10:53,820 --> 00:10:56,322
Okay, let's get you
cleaned up.
307
00:10:56,406 --> 00:10:58,241
I actually throw up
all the time, so it's okay.
308
00:10:58,241 --> 00:10:59,367
- Argh!
- (screams)
309
00:10:59,451 --> 00:11:01,202
Random man!
Child pants!
310
00:11:01,286 --> 00:11:02,912
- Security!
- Oh, no! No, no, no, no, no!
311
00:11:02,996 --> 00:11:05,206
I'm -- I'm Gregory, the, uh --
the sub for Ms. Schwartz.
312
00:11:05,290 --> 00:11:07,584
- Okay. Oh.
- Yeah.
313
00:11:07,584 --> 00:11:10,045
But that's still not
explaining the pants.
314
00:11:10,045 --> 00:11:11,171
- Security!
- Hold on. Hold on.
315
00:11:11,171 --> 00:11:12,464
- Wait, wait, wait.
- Okay, one of my kids
316
00:11:12,464 --> 00:11:14,049
had to go to the bathroom,
so I brought him,
317
00:11:14,049 --> 00:11:15,508
but then he accidentally
went on himself.
318
00:11:15,592 --> 00:11:17,010
Oh! Okay.
319
00:11:17,010 --> 00:11:18,762
And I tried to
flush the toilet,
320
00:11:18,762 --> 00:11:20,430
and the water shot back up
in the air.
321
00:11:20,430 --> 00:11:21,806
- And then I'm --
- Oh, God.
322
00:11:21,890 --> 00:11:23,433
No one told you about
Reversy Toilet then?
323
00:11:23,433 --> 00:11:25,060
- Okay.
- No. Why is that even a thing?
324
00:11:25,060 --> 00:11:26,102
I know.
I'm sorry. Okay.
325
00:11:26,186 --> 00:11:29,898
Um, could you just
watch her for a second?
326
00:11:29,898 --> 00:11:31,191
Um... Hi.
327
00:11:33,276 --> 00:11:36,237
- How you doing?
- I threw up.
328
00:11:36,321 --> 00:11:38,406
All right.
329
00:11:38,490 --> 00:11:42,369
Okay. I'll be back for her,
and I have some spare clothes
330
00:11:42,369 --> 00:11:43,828
for him in my room.
331
00:11:43,912 --> 00:11:45,080
I will get him changed
332
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:46,998
and then send him back to you,
all right?
333
00:11:47,082 --> 00:11:48,458
Oh, w-wait.
What was your name?
334
00:11:48,458 --> 00:11:50,168
Oh. Silly me.
335
00:11:50,168 --> 00:11:52,045
I'm Janine.
So, nice to meet you.
336
00:11:52,045 --> 00:11:53,630
- Oh, sorry, pee.
- There's vomit.
337
00:11:53,630 --> 00:11:55,548
- Yeah.
- Um, make a wish.
338
00:11:55,632 --> 00:11:56,591
(both laugh)
339
00:11:56,675 --> 00:11:58,259
Okay, welcome to
our school.
340
00:11:58,343 --> 00:11:59,844
- Okay.
- Thanks.
341
00:11:59,928 --> 00:12:01,888
It's okay.
Everyone pees, you know?
342
00:12:01,888 --> 00:12:06,518
Yeah, that was disgusting,
but she seems nice.
343
00:12:08,186 --> 00:12:10,605
Is that me?
(sniffs)
344
00:12:12,232 --> 00:12:13,274
(school bell rings)
345
00:12:13,358 --> 00:12:15,527
(indistinct conversations)
346
00:12:15,527 --> 00:12:17,737
- All right. Remember...
- Good morning, Mrs. Howard ♪
347
00:12:17,821 --> 00:12:19,864
- 2 and 2 equals...
- ALL: 4!
348
00:12:19,948 --> 00:12:22,534
- Yes!
- Sorry.
349
00:12:22,534 --> 00:12:25,370
I wanted to get your expert,
classy eye
350
00:12:25,370 --> 00:12:27,372
on my rug request e-mail
to Ava.
351
00:12:27,372 --> 00:12:30,000
Janine, we are not getting
new rugs.
352
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,293
We are not getting
anything.
353
00:12:32,377 --> 00:12:34,212
Barbara, have some faith.
354
00:12:34,212 --> 00:12:36,840
Ava literally said
she'll get us whatever we need.
355
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,009
Janine, I have been working in
the Philadelphia School District
356
00:12:39,009 --> 00:12:40,176
for 20 years,
357
00:12:40,260 --> 00:12:41,803
and Ava is just the latest
358
00:12:41,803 --> 00:12:45,724
in a long line of people
who do absolutely nothing.
359
00:12:45,724 --> 00:12:48,643
- Just do your job.
- But this is me doing my job.
360
00:12:48,727 --> 00:12:50,937
I think the job means trying to
make things better.
361
00:12:51,021 --> 00:12:52,772
And I think the job is working
with what you've got
362
00:12:52,856 --> 00:12:54,524
so you don't get let down.
363
00:12:54,524 --> 00:12:57,152
- (intercom beeps)
- AVA: Good morning, teachers.
364
00:12:57,152 --> 00:12:59,362
During passing, please come to
the front entrance
365
00:12:59,446 --> 00:13:00,447
for a special announcement
366
00:13:00,447 --> 00:13:02,407
about some much-needed
improvements to the school
367
00:13:02,407 --> 00:13:03,658
that I made happen.
368
00:13:03,742 --> 00:13:05,702
Yes!
Oh, did you hear that?!
369
00:13:05,702 --> 00:13:07,704
Optimism wins again!
(gasps)
370
00:13:07,704 --> 00:13:09,372
"Oh, thank you, Janine."
371
00:13:09,456 --> 00:13:10,832
No problem,
Ms. Howard.
372
00:13:10,832 --> 00:13:12,959
"You're doing
your job so well,
373
00:13:13,043 --> 00:13:15,045
I see a little bit of me
in you."
374
00:13:15,045 --> 00:13:17,339
You do? 'Cause I always felt
we had a lot in common.
375
00:13:17,339 --> 00:13:21,760
"Oh, Janine,
You're so lovely ♪"
376
00:13:25,930 --> 00:13:27,140
I got a good feeling
about this.
377
00:13:27,140 --> 00:13:29,351
- Right? Me too.
- Good morning. (laughs)
378
00:13:29,351 --> 00:13:32,187
- Good morning.
- Gregory.
379
00:13:32,187 --> 00:13:34,230
The district was so moved
by my plea
380
00:13:34,314 --> 00:13:36,024
that they approved
the emergency budget
381
00:13:36,024 --> 00:13:37,609
and sent us the money
right away.
382
00:13:37,609 --> 00:13:40,111
Okay, we could have
hired aides,
383
00:13:40,195 --> 00:13:42,280
we could have got rugs,
but then I thought,
384
00:13:42,364 --> 00:13:44,908
"No. We need something
more immediate."
385
00:13:44,908 --> 00:13:47,077
Oh, no, no.
The rugs are immediate.
386
00:13:47,077 --> 00:13:49,204
They're -- they're like
instant Xanax for kids.
387
00:13:49,204 --> 00:13:50,622
I explained it all
in my e-mail.
388
00:13:50,622 --> 00:13:51,873
Girl, who told you
to send an e-mail?
389
00:13:51,873 --> 00:13:53,958
- You did.
- Anyway,
390
00:13:54,042 --> 00:13:56,336
I always feel better when I get
my hair done.
391
00:13:56,336 --> 00:13:59,089
Thus, I do better work,
like I'm doing now.
392
00:13:59,089 --> 00:14:03,677
You know, fix the outside,
inside takes care of itself.
393
00:14:06,763 --> 00:14:08,973
Y'all seeing this?
394
00:14:09,057 --> 00:14:10,517
- A plastic sign?
- AVA: Thank God
395
00:14:10,517 --> 00:14:12,560
for the school district,
'cause they gave us $3,000,
396
00:14:12,644 --> 00:14:14,062
and I had to spend all of it.
397
00:14:14,062 --> 00:14:16,940
You spent all of the money
on this?!
398
00:14:16,940 --> 00:14:19,275
AVA: Rush job.
Can you believe this quality?
399
00:14:19,359 --> 00:14:22,570
How's that optimism taste?
400
00:14:22,654 --> 00:14:24,781
JANINE: This is ridiculous.
She has gone too far.
401
00:14:24,781 --> 00:14:26,491
Somebody needs to
do something. I --
402
00:14:26,491 --> 00:14:28,493
Yes, yes.
Somebody should do something.
403
00:14:28,493 --> 00:14:29,828
You know what?
I'm gonna do something.
404
00:14:29,828 --> 00:14:31,246
Okay. All right.
Whatever you do,
405
00:14:31,246 --> 00:14:32,539
- I will cosign it.
- Yes!
406
00:14:32,539 --> 00:14:34,332
That is how change works --
someone does something,
407
00:14:34,416 --> 00:14:36,042
and somebody cosigns it.
408
00:14:36,126 --> 00:14:38,545
JANINE: Ava can't win here,
409
00:14:38,545 --> 00:14:40,880
because if she wins,
then Barbara's right.
410
00:14:40,964 --> 00:14:43,967
And if Barbara's right, then
what does that say about me?
411
00:14:45,343 --> 00:14:47,429
I mean, am I even a Sagittarius?
412
00:14:47,429 --> 00:14:49,264
Hey, you two.
Wait up.
413
00:14:49,264 --> 00:14:50,849
I'm going out to lunch,
too.
414
00:14:50,849 --> 00:14:52,559
Oh, yeah? Where you going
for lunch, pip-squeak?
415
00:14:52,559 --> 00:14:54,185
Bird feeder?
416
00:14:54,269 --> 00:14:55,937
I thought you'd be working on
your next miracle
417
00:14:56,021 --> 00:14:57,647
from Saint Ava.
418
00:14:57,731 --> 00:14:59,232
Ha ha. No.
419
00:14:59,232 --> 00:15:01,443
I don't think I'll need anything
from Ava ever again.
420
00:15:01,443 --> 00:15:02,902
- (chuckles)
- What does that mean?
421
00:15:02,986 --> 00:15:05,155
Well, I e-mailed
the superintendent
422
00:15:05,155 --> 00:15:07,824
and told him everything that Ava
has done today.
423
00:15:07,824 --> 00:15:09,534
No way she doesn't
get fired.
424
00:15:09,534 --> 00:15:12,245
- Oh, for the love of God.
- What?
425
00:15:12,245 --> 00:15:14,789
The superintendent
never sees our e-mails.
426
00:15:14,873 --> 00:15:17,083
He has them bounced back
427
00:15:17,167 --> 00:15:19,502
to the person in charge
of where they came from.
428
00:15:19,586 --> 00:15:21,129
Wait. I'm sorry.
429
00:15:21,129 --> 00:15:22,964
Person in charge?
430
00:15:23,048 --> 00:15:25,258
That means the e-mails
go back to...
431
00:15:25,342 --> 00:15:27,218
- (intercom beeps)
- AVA: Teachers,
432
00:15:27,302 --> 00:15:30,305
it's come to my attention that
some of you -- one of you --
433
00:15:30,305 --> 00:15:32,140
think it's okay
to go over my head.
434
00:15:32,140 --> 00:15:34,642
So during lunch break --
this lunch break --
435
00:15:34,726 --> 00:15:36,186
we'll be having
a trust workshop
436
00:15:36,186 --> 00:15:38,605
so that we can learn
how to become a work family.
437
00:15:40,065 --> 00:15:41,191
It's gonna be fun!
438
00:15:44,861 --> 00:15:47,405
We are at a crossroads.
This is a crisis.
439
00:15:47,489 --> 00:15:51,034
No, a crisis is eating
the cafeteria pizza for lunch.
440
00:15:51,034 --> 00:15:53,078
Uh, why are we here,
exactly?
441
00:15:53,078 --> 00:15:55,372
Well, chocolate drop, I learned
442
00:15:55,372 --> 00:15:57,957
that someone here
doesn't respect me.
443
00:15:58,041 --> 00:16:00,627
But it's not about me,
'cause if you don't respect me,
444
00:16:00,627 --> 00:16:02,170
how can you respect this school?
445
00:16:03,129 --> 00:16:05,215
You can't.
It's mathematically impossible.
446
00:16:05,215 --> 00:16:06,633
W-Whoa. Who doesn't
respect you, Ava --
447
00:16:06,633 --> 00:16:08,885
- I-I mean, the school?
- It's not important.
448
00:16:08,885 --> 00:16:10,095
We're gonna make this
a group matter
449
00:16:10,095 --> 00:16:11,596
as to not single
any one person out.
450
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,306
Let's try an exercise
where we say
451
00:16:13,390 --> 00:16:14,599
whatever we want
out loud to each other,
452
00:16:14,683 --> 00:16:15,934
no matter how critical.
453
00:16:15,934 --> 00:16:17,560
It'll be fun!
Let's start with Janine.
454
00:16:17,644 --> 00:16:19,437
Janine?
455
00:16:19,521 --> 00:16:20,814
Yes?
456
00:16:20,814 --> 00:16:22,315
You're pushy, squeaky,
and annoying.
457
00:16:22,399 --> 00:16:24,317
- Excuse me?
- That's just --
458
00:16:24,401 --> 00:16:26,319
No, it's not bad. No.
459
00:16:26,403 --> 00:16:28,863
We're sharing with the goal
of making us all better.
460
00:16:28,947 --> 00:16:30,281
Constructive.
461
00:16:30,365 --> 00:16:32,200
Hershey Kiss, why don't you try?
Start with Janine.
462
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,160
- I really don't want to.
- You're right.
463
00:16:34,244 --> 00:16:35,453
It should be someone
who knows her better.
464
00:16:35,537 --> 00:16:36,496
Jacob, Barbara?
465
00:16:36,496 --> 00:16:38,581
- Well, her hair is --
- Absolutely not.
466
00:16:38,665 --> 00:16:39,791
Yeah, absolutely not.
467
00:16:39,791 --> 00:16:42,043
Ava, no one's doing this
to anyone.
468
00:16:42,127 --> 00:16:43,628
Hold on.
I came prepared for this.
469
00:16:43,712 --> 00:16:45,964
Sheena, come on in.
470
00:16:45,964 --> 00:16:49,009
Ava, that is my student.
She should be at lunch.
471
00:16:49,009 --> 00:16:50,427
I am kind of hungry.
472
00:16:51,553 --> 00:16:53,847
AVA: Sheena, remember
what we talked about?
473
00:16:53,847 --> 00:16:55,765
What was the thing
that you wish was different
474
00:16:55,849 --> 00:16:57,809
about Ms. Teagues?
475
00:16:57,809 --> 00:16:59,936
She got some big feet.
476
00:17:00,020 --> 00:17:03,481
Okay. Everyone,
(sighs) that's enough.
477
00:17:03,565 --> 00:17:06,943
I am the person
who disrespected Ava.
478
00:17:07,027 --> 00:17:08,737
I e-mailed the superintendent
to tell him
479
00:17:08,737 --> 00:17:10,989
that she spent
the school's money on a sign.
480
00:17:11,990 --> 00:17:13,074
I'm sorry, Ava.
481
00:17:13,158 --> 00:17:14,951
And I'm sorry
everyone missed lunch,
482
00:17:15,035 --> 00:17:16,286
especially you, Sheena.
483
00:17:16,286 --> 00:17:20,582
But I did it because I care
about the kids in this school,
484
00:17:20,582 --> 00:17:22,834
and that shouldn't be
a bad thing.
485
00:17:22,834 --> 00:17:24,669
I -- (sighs)
486
00:17:24,753 --> 00:17:27,422
Okay.
You know what?
487
00:17:27,422 --> 00:17:29,841
Actually, Sheena,
you should have this.
488
00:17:29,841 --> 00:17:32,260
- I'm so sorry.
- No, thank you.
489
00:17:32,344 --> 00:17:33,428
Okay.
490
00:17:35,430 --> 00:17:36,389
(door opens)
491
00:17:36,473 --> 00:17:38,892
Not a compelling speaker.
(laughs)
492
00:17:38,892 --> 00:17:40,685
- (door closes)
- Charisma vacuum, am I right?
493
00:17:40,769 --> 00:17:44,022
You know what, Ava?
Janine is a lot of things --
494
00:17:44,022 --> 00:17:46,691
naive, a bit clingy,
too cheerful.
495
00:17:46,775 --> 00:17:48,568
Oh, this is good stuff.
Let me call her back in.
496
00:17:48,568 --> 00:17:50,695
But she is also right.
497
00:17:50,779 --> 00:17:53,031
You know, actually
wanting to help the children
498
00:17:53,031 --> 00:17:56,284
at this school
shouldn't be a bad thing.
499
00:17:56,368 --> 00:17:57,619
(clicks tongue)
Mm!
500
00:17:59,204 --> 00:18:00,413
And where is everybody going?
501
00:18:00,497 --> 00:18:02,082
- To check on Janine.
- To eat lunch...
502
00:18:02,082 --> 00:18:03,917
after I check on Janine.
503
00:18:07,087 --> 00:18:09,214
(door opens)
504
00:18:09,214 --> 00:18:10,715
Janine, ignore Ava.
505
00:18:10,799 --> 00:18:12,509
Big feet are a sign of
fertility.
506
00:18:12,509 --> 00:18:15,303
Every lunch period,
Barbara.
507
00:18:15,387 --> 00:18:18,890
Every single one, Amir
comes and naps on the rug.
508
00:18:18,890 --> 00:18:21,434
Mm-hmm.
He was in my class.
509
00:18:21,518 --> 00:18:23,061
Mom's got a lot of kids.
510
00:18:23,061 --> 00:18:25,897
Dad's not around, and when
he is, the parents fight.
511
00:18:25,897 --> 00:18:28,066
JANINE: Right. So he doesn't get
much sleep.
512
00:18:28,066 --> 00:18:29,734
I told him
to sleep at his desk,
513
00:18:29,818 --> 00:18:32,737
but he says
the rug is softer --
514
00:18:32,821 --> 00:18:34,572
softer than his bed
at home.
515
00:18:36,616 --> 00:18:37,951
You know what?
I don't care
516
00:18:37,951 --> 00:18:41,413
if you think I'm good at this
or not anymore.
517
00:18:41,413 --> 00:18:45,125
I care about whether or not
I can make a change.
518
00:18:45,125 --> 00:18:49,045
Janine, teachers
at a school like Abbott --
519
00:18:49,129 --> 00:18:51,381
we have to be able to
do it all.
520
00:18:51,381 --> 00:18:53,800
We are admin.
We are social workers.
521
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:55,927
We are therapists.
We are second parents.
522
00:18:56,011 --> 00:18:58,388
Hell, sometimes,
we're even first.
523
00:18:58,388 --> 00:18:59,806
- MELISSA: Mm-hmm.
- Why?
524
00:18:59,806 --> 00:19:02,142
Heh, it sure ain't
the money.
525
00:19:02,142 --> 00:19:03,601
Mm-hmm.
526
00:19:03,685 --> 00:19:05,603
I could make more
working the street -- easy.
527
00:19:06,646 --> 00:19:10,692
Look, we do this
'cause we're supposed to.
528
00:19:10,692 --> 00:19:12,444
- It's a calling.
- Mm.
529
00:19:12,444 --> 00:19:13,570
You answered.
530
00:19:14,696 --> 00:19:16,573
I believe it was
Brother Cornel West --
531
00:19:16,573 --> 00:19:18,992
- Don't. Not right now.
- Don't!
532
00:19:18,992 --> 00:19:21,077
You want to know
my secret?
533
00:19:21,161 --> 00:19:24,372
Do everything you can
for your kids.
534
00:19:24,456 --> 00:19:25,874
We'll help.
535
00:19:25,874 --> 00:19:28,501
Hey, I suggest we put
our money together
536
00:19:28,585 --> 00:19:30,420
and buy Janine the rug.
537
00:19:30,420 --> 00:19:32,339
- What y'all think?
- Absolutely.
538
00:19:32,339 --> 00:19:34,299
- Yes.
- Guys, you can't.
539
00:19:34,299 --> 00:19:35,508
You don't have it.
540
00:19:35,592 --> 00:19:37,344
I know because
I have the same salary as you
541
00:19:37,344 --> 00:19:39,346
and I overdrafted on
a doughnut hole this morning.
542
00:19:39,346 --> 00:19:41,056
Well, what are you
gonna do?
543
00:19:41,056 --> 00:19:42,307
Steal a rug?
544
00:19:44,351 --> 00:19:49,022
Not me, but I know a guy
who knows a guy?
545
00:19:49,022 --> 00:19:50,648
(cellphone clacking)
546
00:19:50,732 --> 00:19:52,567
Way ahead of you.
547
00:19:52,567 --> 00:19:55,028
I'm gonna have to
bake a ziti.
548
00:19:55,028 --> 00:19:57,572
Hey, Tony, you big strunz,
listen,
549
00:19:57,572 --> 00:19:59,115
you still working
that stadium build?
550
00:19:59,199 --> 00:20:02,327
This day hasn't been easy,
but it's been good,
551
00:20:02,327 --> 00:20:05,080
because I finally get
what Barbara has been saying.
552
00:20:06,664 --> 00:20:07,874
- Oh, my God. He came.
- Go get it.
553
00:20:07,874 --> 00:20:09,793
- Hello! Hi.
- Yeah!
554
00:20:09,793 --> 00:20:12,587
JANINE:
You have to find a way.
555
00:20:12,671 --> 00:20:13,922
Get things done yourself.
556
00:20:13,922 --> 00:20:16,049
Hey, thank you so much.
What's your name?
557
00:20:16,049 --> 00:20:17,342
- I got no name.
- He doesn't got a name.
558
00:20:17,342 --> 00:20:18,927
Okay.
559
00:20:18,927 --> 00:20:20,970
Even if the way you do them
is...
560
00:20:21,054 --> 00:20:22,764
outside of the system.
(chuckles)
561
00:20:22,764 --> 00:20:25,392
You're on a mission.
It's cool to see.
562
00:20:25,392 --> 00:20:26,893
Thank you.
563
00:20:26,893 --> 00:20:28,853
It's just a day in the life
of being a teacher here.
564
00:20:28,937 --> 00:20:30,313
You get used to it.
565
00:20:30,397 --> 00:20:31,690
And that smell
in the walls?
566
00:20:31,690 --> 00:20:33,108
Oh, no, you're never
gonna get used to that.
567
00:20:33,108 --> 00:20:34,275
- Okay.
- So...
568
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,737
But, um, you're subbing to
go full time, right? Like...
569
00:20:37,821 --> 00:20:40,198
- Um, we'll see.
- Mm.
570
00:20:40,198 --> 00:20:42,117
The job definitely
surprises me.
571
00:20:42,117 --> 00:20:44,744
Well, I hope you stay.
572
00:20:44,828 --> 00:20:45,787
For the kids.
573
00:20:45,787 --> 00:20:47,455
Yeah.
574
00:20:47,539 --> 00:20:48,665
Okay.
575
00:20:50,083 --> 00:20:51,501
(chuckles)
576
00:20:53,294 --> 00:20:54,796
GREGORY: I'll stick around
for a little while.
577
00:20:54,796 --> 00:20:58,216
(clears throat)
You know, for the kids.
578
00:20:59,384 --> 00:21:03,263
(cheers and applause)
579
00:21:09,144 --> 00:21:10,937
JANINE: I provided for
my students today.
580
00:21:11,021 --> 00:21:13,273
That's huge.
It's all any of us want to do.
581
00:21:13,273 --> 00:21:15,608
"And gave him
a piece of tough ash.
582
00:21:15,692 --> 00:21:19,195
But no sooner had the man
fitted it into his ax-head
583
00:21:19,279 --> 00:21:21,865
than he quickly began
to use it..."
584
00:21:23,825 --> 00:21:27,412
I was called, I answered,
and now I know,
585
00:21:27,412 --> 00:21:29,456
even with no help from
the higher-ups
586
00:21:29,456 --> 00:21:30,957
and no money from the city,
587
00:21:31,041 --> 00:21:33,418
I can get this job done.
588
00:21:34,419 --> 00:21:35,503
MAN: All right, Step 3,
589
00:21:35,587 --> 00:21:37,839
you flush the toilet
to empty the tank.
590
00:21:37,839 --> 00:21:39,466
Now you're all set to go.
591
00:21:39,466 --> 00:21:41,593
Now, remember,
you got to redo Step 1
592
00:21:41,593 --> 00:21:43,219
before trying to flush.
593
00:21:44,971 --> 00:21:46,931
But money
would still be nice, though.
594
00:21:51,519 --> 00:21:55,482
