Jake, how you like that, man?

00:00:13,096 --> 00:00:15,432
Tell me how dope that was.
7
00:00:15,432 --> 00:00:17,267
Uh, incredibly dope?
8
00:00:17,267 --> 00:00:18,810
Ooh, you heard him!
9
00:00:18,810 --> 00:00:20,937
I carpool with Janine occasionally
10
00:00:21,021 --> 00:00:23,106
to reduce my carbon footprint,
11
00:00:23,106 --> 00:00:26,776
and Tariq is there sometimes
when he needs to use the car,
12
00:00:26,860 --> 00:00:29,863
which is...all the time.
13
00:00:29,863 --> 00:00:31,656
Yeah, yeah, no, I'm gonna
have to run it back for you.

It takes a couple times
to get the wordplay.
15
00:00:33,408 --> 00:00:34,826
- Mm-hmm.
- Yo, you spit, too?
16
00:00:34,826 --> 00:00:36,494
- Rap with me, Jake.
- Oh, no.
17
00:00:36,578 --> 00:00:39,330
That could potentially be
very undope.
18
00:00:39,414 --> 00:00:41,541
Baby, his name is Jacob. Jacob.
19
00:00:41,541 --> 00:00:43,334

be performing later today?
22
00:00:47,756 --> 00:00:49,674
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I got way more, too.
23
00:00:49,758 --> 00:00:51,885
The show is about to be lit,
to be honest, man.
24
00:00:51,885 --> 00:00:53,470
The after-party gonna be stupid.
25
00:00:53,470 --> 00:00:54,512
Oh, no.
26
00:00:54,596 --> 00:00:57,682
It is an anti-drug
and gang-violence presentation
27
00:00:57,766 --> 00:00:58,683
for children.
28
00:00:58,767 --> 00:01:00,518
So no after-party.
29
00:01:00,602 --> 00:01:03,146
Tariq's gonna be performing
some of his songs later today
30
00:01:03,146 --> 00:01:06,816
at Abbott for F.A.D.E.,
Friends Against Drug Exposure.
31
00:01:06,900 --> 00:01:09,819
Yeah, he got the gig
totally on his own.
32
00:01:09,903 --> 00:01:12,405
I mean, I reached out
to the organization,
33
00:01:12,489 --> 00:01:15,116
and Tariq said, "Sure."
34
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:16,451
Oh, baby, I was thinking.
35
00:01:16,451 --> 00:01:17,869
You've been working
way too much lately.
36
00:01:17,869 --> 00:01:19,371
We need to go travel somewhere.
37
00:01:19,371 --> 00:01:20,997

Oh, well, I've always wanted to
go to Paris.
40
00:01:23,750 --> 00:01:25,251
Ooh, ooh, Paris!
41
00:01:25,335 --> 00:01:27,045
Or, uh, uh, Coney Island.
42
00:01:27,045 --> 00:01:28,046
- Oh.
- We could go out there.
43
00:01:28,046 --> 00:01:29,381
I could get my Joe Chestnut on,

00:01:29,381 --> 00:01:31,049

But also maybe focus
on the performance today.

00:02:43,121 --> 00:02:44,706
Zach?
75
00:02:44,706 --> 00:02:46,833
And how long have you two
been dating?
76
00:02:46,833 --> 00:02:50,253
Like a year, plus another year.
77
00:02:50,337 --> 00:02:52,881
Jacob, how did I not know
any of this?
78
00:02:52,881 --> 00:02:54,424
You've never mentioned him.
79
00:02:54,424 --> 00:02:56,843
Well, actually, I guess I just
answered my own question.
80
00:02:56,843 --> 00:02:59,554
I thought you knew. I mean,
I could've swore I told you.
81
00:02:59,554 --> 00:03:02,182
My friends say I won't
shut up about him.
82
00:03:02,182 --> 00:03:03,725
Your friends?
83
00:03:03,725 --> 00:03:05,352
I thought we were friends.
84
00:03:05,352 --> 00:03:09,230
We are. Yeah, we're friends.
We're just, you know...
85
00:03:09,314 --> 00:03:11,191
"You know" what?
86
00:03:11,191 --> 00:03:13,401
W-Work friends.
87
00:03:13,485 --> 00:03:15,487
We don't talk about
real deep stuff.
88
00:03:15,487 --> 00:03:18,031
You told me when you got
a tapeworm in Zimbabwe.
89
00:03:18,031 --> 00:03:20,200
Um, um, yeah, I was --
I was trying to be helpful,
90
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,577
in case you ever go to Africa.
91
00:03:22,577 --> 00:03:24,829
Look, work friends
are still friends.
92
00:03:24,913 --> 00:03:28,124
They're just, like,
friends in one place.
93
00:03:28,208 --> 00:03:30,418
Well, I thought we were friends
in all places.
94
00:03:30,502 --> 00:03:32,671
We are -- We are friends
in other places, actually.
95
00:03:32,671 --> 00:03:35,507
You know, just today we were --
we were friends together,
96
00:03:35,507 --> 00:03:37,592
you know, from my apartment
to the school...
97
00:03:37,676 --> 00:03:39,427
- (school bell rings)
- ...where -- where we work,
98
00:03:39,511 --> 00:03:41,262
as friends.
99
00:03:43,264 --> 00:03:45,058
Um...
100
00:03:45,892 --> 00:03:48,353
I can't believe Jacob
didn't tell me about Zach.
101
00:03:48,353 --> 00:03:50,271
I mean, I have
so many questions, okay?
102
00:03:50,355 --> 00:03:52,691
Is he tall? Is he a cat person
or a dog person?
103
00:03:52,691 --> 00:03:55,026
Is Zach spelled with a "ck"
or a "ch"
104
00:03:55,110 --> 00:03:58,113
or, what I find to be the most
exotic spelling, just a "c"?
105
00:03:58,113 --> 00:04:00,365
And... I don't know.
Maybe he's right.
106
00:04:00,365 --> 00:04:02,534
Maybe we are just work friends,
107
00:04:02,534 --> 00:04:05,662
because a "friend" friend
would know.
108
00:04:05,662 --> 00:04:08,957
Okay. Eyes up here.
Farmer Hank has five turkeys.
109
00:04:08,957 --> 00:04:10,500
Then he buys four more.
110
00:04:10,500 --> 00:04:13,336
How many turkeys
does Farmer Hank have?
111
00:04:13,420 --> 00:04:15,296
Are any turkeys pregnant?
112
00:04:15,380 --> 00:04:18,008
Guys, let's focus, okay?
Uh, you know what?
113
00:04:18,008 --> 00:04:19,551
We're gonna do more math drills.
114
00:04:19,551 --> 00:04:21,678
(students groan)
115
00:04:21,678 --> 00:04:23,346
Statewide assessments
are coming up.
116
00:04:23,430 --> 00:04:24,889
It's a necessary evil.
117
00:04:24,973 --> 00:04:26,349
They say not to teach
to the test,
118
00:04:26,433 --> 00:04:28,351
but if that were the case,
119
00:04:28,435 --> 00:04:30,311
they wouldn't give tests,
would they?
120
00:04:30,395 --> 00:04:31,521
Six plus seven?
121
00:04:31,521 --> 00:04:33,481
ALL:
13!
122
00:04:33,565 --> 00:04:36,151
- 13 minus 6?
- Can we please take a break?
123
00:04:38,737 --> 00:04:40,530
Is everything okay?
124
00:04:40,530 --> 00:04:43,366
I-I didn't see your class
at morning recess.
125
00:04:43,450 --> 00:04:45,201
Yeah. Yeah. No.
Everything's fine.
126
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,998
Kids, turn to page 13 minus 6.
127
00:04:51,499 --> 00:04:53,293
Seven.
128
00:04:53,293 --> 00:04:55,295
So, the whole class
is underperforming,
129
00:04:55,295 --> 00:04:57,547
specifically in math,
so we're taking time in recess
130
00:04:57,547 --> 00:04:59,382
to practice
to get those scores up.
131
00:05:00,592 --> 00:05:02,385
Well, you know,
it's always been my thought
132
00:05:02,469 --> 00:05:04,637
that if one child fails...
133
00:05:04,721 --> 00:05:06,306
- Mm-hmm.
- ...it's on the child.
134
00:05:06,306 --> 00:05:07,349
- Right.
- But --
135
00:05:07,349 --> 00:05:11,311
But if all of the children fail,
it's on their teacher.
136
00:05:14,189 --> 00:05:16,399
If there's something
I'm doing wrong
137
00:05:16,483 --> 00:05:18,401
or if it can be improved upon,
138
00:05:18,485 --> 00:05:22,030
I am more than happy, uh,
to take some pointers.
139
00:05:22,030 --> 00:05:24,616
Wonderful.
Lunchtime.
140
00:05:24,616 --> 00:05:26,284
You and me.
141
00:05:26,368 --> 00:05:28,578
Yes. Sure.
142
00:05:28,578 --> 00:05:31,623
I am more than happy
to give up some of my free time
143
00:05:31,623 --> 00:05:34,793
to gain knowledge
and better myself.
144
00:05:34,793 --> 00:05:36,670
(chuckles)
145
00:05:36,670 --> 00:05:39,047
I still didn't get my answer.
13 minus 6?
146
00:05:39,047 --> 00:05:40,256
(students groan)
147
00:05:40,340 --> 00:05:42,050
That "uh" better be
you thinking.
148
00:05:42,050 --> 00:05:43,843
(thunder rumbles)
149
00:05:46,346 --> 00:05:48,932
Well, looks like
I'm not eating today,
150
00:05:48,932 --> 00:05:51,059
'cause if you think I'm getting
this hair wet, mnh-mnh.
151
00:05:51,059 --> 00:05:53,311
Yep, it's gonna be
vending-machine lunch.
152
00:05:53,395 --> 00:05:55,021
- Oh.
- Well, look on the bright side.
153
00:05:55,105 --> 00:05:58,358
Now we get to all stay inside
and have lunch together,
154
00:05:58,358 --> 00:06:01,945
which will be nice because,
despite what some people say,
155
00:06:01,945 --> 00:06:04,197
we all love each other,
like one big, happy family.
156
00:06:04,197 --> 00:06:06,032
Ugh, what are you
talking about?
157
00:06:06,116 --> 00:06:08,618
I told her we're work friends,
and now she's doing this.
158
00:06:08,702 --> 00:06:11,121
Well, we are work friends.
What's the problem?
159
00:06:11,121 --> 00:06:13,665
Uh, no. No, no, no.
We are a family.
160
00:06:13,665 --> 00:06:15,125
(mockingly)
"We're family."
161
00:06:15,125 --> 00:06:17,252
Enough with that
Dominic Toretto rhetoric.
162
00:06:17,252 --> 00:06:20,005
Th-There's a reason that there
are nine of those movies.
163
00:06:20,005 --> 00:06:21,965
Honey, family you kill for.
164
00:06:21,965 --> 00:06:24,759
I ain't killing for any of ya.
Except Barbara.
165
00:06:24,843 --> 00:06:27,804
Look, we come here,
we love our kids,
166
00:06:27,804 --> 00:06:30,807
we exchange
some delightful repartee.
167
00:06:30,807 --> 00:06:32,934
We are good colleagues.
168
00:06:33,018 --> 00:06:35,395
And then we leave.
There's nothing wrong with that.
169
00:06:35,395 --> 00:06:38,148
But I just feel like
it doesn't have to be that way.
170
00:06:38,148 --> 00:06:39,816
Girl, this ain't a sorority.
171
00:06:39,816 --> 00:06:41,776
I'm not shoplifting Plan B
for you.
172
00:06:41,860 --> 00:06:43,945
See, this is what people
are trying to avoid.
173
00:06:44,029 --> 00:06:44,988
I know.
174
00:06:44,988 --> 00:06:46,698
I just think we should spend
the time
175
00:06:46,698 --> 00:06:48,825
to get to know each other better.
176
00:06:48,825 --> 00:06:51,953
(thunder rumbling, rain falling)
177
00:06:53,163 --> 00:06:55,498
Oh, they may not want to share,
178
00:06:55,582 --> 00:06:57,876
but I have ways
of making people talk.
179
00:06:57,876 --> 00:07:00,253
- (thunder crashes)
- Mm.
180
00:07:01,379 --> 00:07:05,884
I have enlisted the help of one
of Abbott Elementary's finest.
181
00:07:05,884 --> 00:07:09,346
Now, come on, come on.
Show us what you got.
182
00:07:09,346 --> 00:07:11,598
- (clears throat)
- What, here?
183
00:07:11,598 --> 00:07:13,850
- Yeah!
- Yeah, here. Get this kid.
184
00:07:13,850 --> 00:07:15,894
Of course here. Come on.
Teach us something.
185
00:07:15,894 --> 00:07:17,520
Uh, all right.
186
00:07:17,604 --> 00:07:22,359
Um, Farmer Hank has seven
turkeys, then he buys six more.
187
00:07:22,359 --> 00:07:24,361
How many turkeys does
Farmer Hank now have?
188
00:07:24,361 --> 00:07:26,780
- Hmm.
- Is one of the turkeys pregnant?
189
00:07:26,780 --> 00:07:28,239
One of my kids asked
the same thing.
190
00:07:28,323 --> 00:07:29,991
Because it's a good question,
191
00:07:30,075 --> 00:07:32,744
and it shows that they're using
critical thinking.
192
00:07:32,744 --> 00:07:33,870
It's irrelevant.
193
00:07:33,870 --> 00:07:35,872
No, it might be silly to you,
194
00:07:35,872 --> 00:07:37,999
but to them, it might be
an important question that,
195
00:07:38,083 --> 00:07:40,418
if they don't get it answered,
they can't focus.
196
00:07:40,502 --> 00:07:43,296
And diversions are
an important part of learning.
197
00:07:43,380 --> 00:07:45,382
Otherwise,
they're just memorizing.
198
00:07:45,382 --> 00:07:47,592
Memorization is how I learned
all the states' capitals.
199
00:07:47,676 --> 00:07:50,136
Juneau, Salem, Madison.
I can keep going.
200
00:07:50,220 --> 00:07:52,389
In my class,
we do silly voice time
201
00:07:52,389 --> 00:07:54,307
to, you know, break up the day.
202
00:07:54,391 --> 00:07:56,893
(high-pitched voice) And it
makes learning more fun, too.
203
00:07:56,893 --> 00:07:59,062
Okay.
(laughs)
204
00:07:59,062 --> 00:08:00,897
Follow my lead.
Here we go.
205
00:08:00,897 --> 00:08:02,232
Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm.
206
00:08:02,232 --> 00:08:03,233
What's happening?
207
00:08:03,233 --> 00:08:05,443
Oh, come on, now, son.
208
00:08:05,527 --> 00:08:08,154
Moving those hips a little,
it is not going to kill you.
209
00:08:08,238 --> 00:08:10,615
Now, let's do this
math problem again.
210
00:08:10,699 --> 00:08:12,367
Oh, what's
the turkey farmer's name?
211
00:08:12,367 --> 00:08:14,160
- Hank?
- Yes!
212
00:08:14,244 --> 00:08:15,745
All right.
213
00:08:15,829 --> 00:08:17,747
Hank has two turkeys ♪
214
00:08:17,831 --> 00:08:19,916
He gets two more ♪
215
00:08:19,916 --> 00:08:23,003
How many turkeys? ♪
216
00:08:25,171 --> 00:08:27,590
Hank has two turkeys ♪
217
00:08:27,674 --> 00:08:29,676
He gets two more ♪
218
00:08:29,676 --> 00:08:32,053
How many turkeys? ♪
219
00:08:32,137 --> 00:08:33,763
(off-key)
He has four ♪
220
00:08:33,847 --> 00:08:35,140
(laughing) Aah! Yes!
221
00:08:35,140 --> 00:08:36,933
(silly voice)
Or six if one of the turkeys
222
00:08:37,017 --> 00:08:39,102
is pregnant with twins.
(silly laugh)
223
00:08:39,102 --> 00:08:41,938
(normal voice) See? Who told you
learning can't be fun?
224
00:08:42,022 --> 00:08:43,648
- Mm.
- Mm-hmm.
225
00:08:43,732 --> 00:08:44,941
Hey, guys.
226
00:08:45,025 --> 00:08:46,818
Oh, you look a m--
227
00:08:46,818 --> 00:08:48,361
Wait a minute.
(sniffs)
228
00:08:48,445 --> 00:08:50,780
What is that smell?
229
00:08:50,864 --> 00:08:52,365
Is that...
230
00:08:52,449 --> 00:08:55,368
Danny Wok's makes the best
chicken in all of Philly.
231
00:08:55,452 --> 00:08:59,247
I don't know what Danny puts
in that chicken, but it woks.
232
00:08:59,247 --> 00:09:01,291
Mmm!
That was very thoughtful of you.
233
00:09:01,291 --> 00:09:03,001
Oh, oh, oh, oh!
234
00:09:03,001 --> 00:09:05,128
- If you want the "Wok"...
- (thunder crashes)
235
00:09:05,128 --> 00:09:07,339
...you gotta talk.
236
00:09:09,049 --> 00:09:10,967
Okay. So, I thought we all
could play a little game
237
00:09:11,051 --> 00:09:12,177
to get to know
each other better.
238
00:09:12,177 --> 00:09:13,178
(all sigh)
239
00:09:13,178 --> 00:09:15,221
This text said
that you had Danny Wok.
240
00:09:15,305 --> 00:09:17,140
That's the only reason
I'm here, Dork Dash.
241
00:09:17,140 --> 00:09:20,685
It's a simple, fun game where
we write down a little fact
242
00:09:20,769 --> 00:09:22,395
about ourselves on these cards,
243
00:09:22,479 --> 00:09:24,147
something you think
no one else knows.
244
00:09:24,147 --> 00:09:25,648
Then the cards are shuffled,
245
00:09:25,732 --> 00:09:27,609
and we try to figure out
who each secret belongs to.
246
00:09:27,609 --> 00:09:28,610
It's so fun.
247
00:09:28,610 --> 00:09:30,445
- When do we get the chicken?
- When you tell a secret.
248
00:09:30,445 --> 00:09:32,155
My cousin turned down the hit
on Bobby Kennedy.
249
00:09:32,155 --> 00:09:34,366
Not that kind of secret,
and we write it down.
250
00:09:34,366 --> 00:09:36,659
Janine, please,
just give me the food.
251
00:09:36,743 --> 00:09:40,497
Guys, you get the wings
when you say the things.
252
00:09:40,497 --> 00:09:41,831
Okay.
253
00:09:41,915 --> 00:09:43,917
(indistinct whispering)
254
00:09:43,917 --> 00:09:46,336
Don't love being left out
of huddles.
255
00:09:46,336 --> 00:09:47,962
Okay.
256
00:09:49,506 --> 00:09:51,925
Oh, I can feel us
getting closer already.
257
00:09:51,925 --> 00:09:55,053
Okay, Sister Sledge,
let's get this over with.
258
00:09:55,053 --> 00:09:58,264
All right. So, "I once drank
three cups of coffee,
259
00:09:58,348 --> 00:09:59,849
thinking it was decaf,
260
00:09:59,933 --> 00:10:02,185
and started tap-dancing
in front of my students"?
261
00:10:02,185 --> 00:10:04,104
- MELISSA: Wasn't me.
- Okay, I no longer
262
00:10:04,104 --> 00:10:06,356
- keep tap shoes in my classroom.
- JANINE: Okay.
263
00:10:06,356 --> 00:10:09,693
"I won a bronze medal
for a hammer throw
264
00:10:09,693 --> 00:10:12,362
in the 1976 Olympics."
265
00:10:12,362 --> 00:10:14,030
What can I say?
266
00:10:14,114 --> 00:10:16,032
The rumors about
the Olympic Village are true.
267
00:10:16,116 --> 00:10:17,951
JANINE:
Let's move on.
268
00:10:17,951 --> 00:10:20,078
"I once impersonated Jill Scott
269
00:10:20,078 --> 00:10:23,623
to get free bottle service
at Xfinity Live!"
270
00:10:24,541 --> 00:10:26,042
You don't even
look like Jill Scott.
271
00:10:26,126 --> 00:10:28,044
To white people in South Philly
I do.
272
00:10:28,128 --> 00:10:30,046
- (cellphone vibrates)
- Sorry. I got to take this.
273
00:10:30,130 --> 00:10:32,340
Okay.
Hurry back.
274
00:10:32,424 --> 00:10:34,175
Hey, Pop.
275
00:10:34,259 --> 00:10:36,845
Gregory...you get a chance
276
00:10:36,845 --> 00:10:39,264
to look at those job listings
I e-mailed you?
277
00:10:39,264 --> 00:10:41,266
You know, I-I haven't -- I
haven't gotten around to it yet.
278
00:10:41,266 --> 00:10:43,018
Get around to it.
279
00:10:43,018 --> 00:10:44,894
When you gonna quit
your babysitting gig,
280
00:10:44,978 --> 00:10:47,022
get yourself a real job?
281
00:10:47,022 --> 00:10:49,357
You know who else could teach
a first grader?
282
00:10:49,441 --> 00:10:51,192
A second grader.
283
00:10:51,276 --> 00:10:52,777
(chuckles)
That's funny, sir.
284
00:10:52,861 --> 00:10:53,945
I actually, um, applied
285
00:10:54,029 --> 00:10:55,989
to a few other principal jobs
at other schools.
286
00:10:55,989 --> 00:10:57,323
I'm just waiting to hear back.
287
00:10:57,407 --> 00:11:00,118
Why don't you come work at the
landscaping company with me?
288
00:11:00,702 --> 00:11:02,537
This school idea,
I don't get it.
289
00:11:02,537 --> 00:11:04,122
You've been trying
to become a principal
290
00:11:04,122 --> 00:11:05,790
since you left college.
291
00:11:05,874 --> 00:11:09,294
Come do a real man's job.
Time to grow up, Gregory.
292
00:11:10,462 --> 00:11:13,631
(clicks tongue)
I will consider that, sir.
293
00:11:13,715 --> 00:11:15,425
- I'll take it.
- (chuckles)
294
00:11:15,425 --> 00:11:16,718
All right.
295
00:11:16,718 --> 00:11:18,762
(cellphone chimes)
296
00:11:22,515 --> 00:11:24,059
(sighs)
297
00:11:24,059 --> 00:11:26,061
You loved Green Book?
298
00:11:26,061 --> 00:11:28,438
It is a well-made film, okay?
299
00:11:28,438 --> 00:11:31,232
Do I think it's the most astute
observation on race relations?
300
00:11:31,316 --> 00:11:34,611
No. But did I cry at the end?
Almost.
301
00:11:34,611 --> 00:11:37,238
Okay, um, Gregory,
why don't you pull a card?
302
00:11:37,322 --> 00:11:39,657
Uh, I think I'll pass
on this one, thanks.
303
00:11:39,741 --> 00:11:41,326
Okay.
No chicken for you.
304
00:11:41,326 --> 00:11:42,619
All right.
So I'll go.
305
00:11:42,619 --> 00:11:45,080
This mystery person says,
306
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,916
"I've been dating my boyfriend
since eighth grade."
307
00:11:47,916 --> 00:11:50,502
(chuckles) Ooh!
I wonder who this could be.
308
00:11:50,502 --> 00:11:52,921
Wait.
Like, off and on?
309
00:11:52,921 --> 00:11:55,423
Well, who says it's me?
But no, just on.
310
00:11:55,507 --> 00:11:57,550
- The whole time?
- Yeah.
311
00:11:57,634 --> 00:11:59,177
But you've dated
lots of other people?
312
00:11:59,177 --> 00:12:01,054
Nope.
313
00:12:01,846 --> 00:12:03,640
Why are you all looking at me
like that?
314
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:04,849
Janine, sweetheart,
315
00:12:04,933 --> 00:12:08,144
you have only dated one man
your entire life?
316
00:12:08,228 --> 00:12:09,437
Yeah.
317
00:12:09,521 --> 00:12:11,856
No women?
Nobody else, ever?
318
00:12:11,940 --> 00:12:14,109
That just answers
so many things. I mean...
319
00:12:14,109 --> 00:12:16,027
(laughs)
Somebody get me a chair.
320
00:12:16,111 --> 00:12:18,446
(laughing)
321
00:12:18,530 --> 00:12:20,532
(thud)
322
00:12:20,532 --> 00:12:22,867
Is -- Is the guy rich?
323
00:12:22,951 --> 00:12:26,663
No, not monetarily.
He's an aspiring musician.
324
00:12:26,663 --> 00:12:28,915
So he broke?
Somebody get me a fresh chair.
325
00:12:28,915 --> 00:12:30,542
Look, you don't know Tariq.
326
00:12:30,542 --> 00:12:33,503
He's sweet. He's caring.
He's ambitious.
327
00:12:33,503 --> 00:12:34,921
Jacob knows.
328
00:12:35,005 --> 00:12:36,673
Oh, I've...
329
00:12:36,673 --> 00:12:38,008
He's very spirited.
330
00:12:38,008 --> 00:12:39,175
Spirited?
331
00:12:39,259 --> 00:12:41,553
I could use a little bit
more help than that, Jacob.
332
00:12:41,553 --> 00:12:44,597
You know, he's...confident.
333
00:12:45,932 --> 00:12:49,060
And, um, he's a real
extemporaneous thinker.
334
00:12:49,144 --> 00:12:50,353
BARBARA:
Hmm!
335
00:12:50,437 --> 00:12:51,938
I-I'm still getting to
know him, I guess.
336
00:12:52,022 --> 00:12:53,440
Et tu, work friend?
337
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,066
You were beatboxing with him
this morning.
338
00:12:55,150 --> 00:12:56,359
Did that mean nothing?
339
00:12:56,443 --> 00:12:58,820
(beatboxing)
One joystick.
340
00:12:58,820 --> 00:12:59,821
(imitates record scratching)
Wait.
341
00:12:59,821 --> 00:13:01,531
Does that mean that you're,
like, secretly Mormon?
342
00:13:01,531 --> 00:13:02,866
- No.
- Oh.
343
00:13:02,866 --> 00:13:04,576
You should be
'cause you need more men.
344
00:13:04,576 --> 00:13:05,910
- Can I get it? (laughs)
- Barbara!
345
00:13:05,994 --> 00:13:08,872
I'm sorry, Janine, but that
was actually very clever.
346
00:13:08,872 --> 00:13:11,249
Look, this is the man
I'm going to marry.
347
00:13:11,249 --> 00:13:14,753
Janine, when people get married,
they try a lot of cakes.
348
00:13:14,753 --> 00:13:17,630
Have you had two slices of cake
at one time?
349
00:13:17,714 --> 00:13:20,091
I can tell you, when I was
at the Olympic Village...
350
00:13:20,175 --> 00:13:23,345
You know what? He is a good guy,
and I love him.
351
00:13:24,054 --> 00:13:25,513
But how do you know if this
has only been the one guy?
352
00:13:25,597 --> 00:13:26,681
But haven't you ever worri--
wondered,
353
00:13:26,765 --> 00:13:27,766
like, what --
who else is out there?
354
00:13:27,766 --> 00:13:30,226
- I mean, you've only...
- Janine, you need to grow up.
355
00:13:30,310 --> 00:13:31,978
BARBARA:
The whole time, one guy?
356
00:13:32,062 --> 00:13:33,563
Ohh!
357
00:13:36,316 --> 00:13:37,817
Ohh.
358
00:13:44,032 --> 00:13:47,243
Oh. Hold on.
You're gonna get drenched.
359
00:13:47,327 --> 00:13:49,037
Thanks.
360
00:13:49,037 --> 00:13:50,288
You okay?
361
00:13:50,372 --> 00:13:52,582
Yeah. Are they still in there
making fun of me?
362
00:13:52,582 --> 00:13:55,543
It's only been a few seconds,
so yeah, probably.
363
00:13:55,627 --> 00:13:57,295
Look, you can't care about
364
00:13:57,379 --> 00:13:59,005
what other people think
about your choices
365
00:13:59,089 --> 00:14:00,632
'cause at the end of the day
you're the one
366
00:14:00,632 --> 00:14:02,717
who got to live with them.
367
00:14:06,388 --> 00:14:08,223
My dad doesn't want me
to be a teacher.
368
00:14:08,807 --> 00:14:10,141
What?
369
00:14:10,225 --> 00:14:12,018
But teaching's the best job
in the world.
370
00:14:12,102 --> 00:14:14,104
Well, Lieutenant Colonel
Martin Eddie
371
00:14:14,104 --> 00:14:15,730
doesn't see it that way.
372
00:14:15,814 --> 00:14:17,440
But it shouldn't matter
what he thinks, right?
373
00:14:17,524 --> 00:14:19,901
It should be about
what makes me happy?
374
00:14:19,901 --> 00:14:21,778
Does teaching make you happy?
375
00:14:24,447 --> 00:14:25,657
It could.
376
00:14:30,704 --> 00:14:32,747
Does Tariq make you happy?
377
00:14:38,044 --> 00:14:40,714
Hey!
What y'all doing out here?
378
00:14:40,714 --> 00:14:43,091
It's raining harder
than an Usher video!
379
00:14:43,091 --> 00:14:45,301
- Um...
- We're just here to greet you.
380
00:14:45,385 --> 00:14:47,303
- I'm Gregory.
- Oh, what's up, Gregory?
381
00:14:47,387 --> 00:14:49,431
Are you the talent handler?
382
00:14:49,431 --> 00:14:51,099
Sure.
383
00:14:51,099 --> 00:14:53,059
I need some bananas
in the greenroom.
384
00:14:55,311 --> 00:14:57,605
(vocalizing)
385
00:14:59,399 --> 00:15:01,317
- Hey, baby.
- Hey. (clears throat)
386
00:15:01,401 --> 00:15:02,485
Everything okay?
You seem off.
387
00:15:02,569 --> 00:15:05,572
Uh, yeah. No.
I'm just nervous for you.
388
00:15:05,572 --> 00:15:06,573
Don't be nervous.
389
00:15:06,573 --> 00:15:08,867
This is gonna be like when Lil
Nas X performed at that school.
390
00:15:08,867 --> 00:15:10,535
- Mm.
- Except it's not a surprise
391
00:15:10,535 --> 00:15:13,830
and they don't know the words
and I'm very straight.
392
00:15:13,830 --> 00:15:14,956
But come on.
Come on.
393
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:15,999
- Bring it in.
- Yeah.
394
00:15:15,999 --> 00:15:17,375
- Yeah.
- Okay.
395
00:15:17,459 --> 00:15:19,586
Lord, thank you for giving me
this opportunity
396
00:15:19,586 --> 00:15:22,422
to blow the impressionable minds
of these young children.
397
00:15:22,422 --> 00:15:23,506
- Amen.
- Amen.
398
00:15:23,590 --> 00:15:24,758
- Okay.
- All right. Come on.
399
00:15:27,469 --> 00:15:31,765
Oh, yeah, get it, get it,
get it, hey, let's go, go!
400
00:15:31,765 --> 00:15:33,767
- Okay. I love you, baby.
- I love you, baby.
401
00:15:33,767 --> 00:15:35,685
Let's get it!
Yeah!
402
00:15:35,769 --> 00:15:38,355
Yeah, it's really hard breaking
into the industry right now.
403
00:15:38,355 --> 00:15:41,691
Nobody's in that anti-drug,
anti-alcohol lane, you know?
404
00:15:41,775 --> 00:15:44,110
Don't nobody rap about stuff
that's good for you.
405
00:15:44,194 --> 00:15:47,364
You never heard a song called,
like..."Broccoli."
406
00:15:47,364 --> 00:15:49,157
Except that one song
called "Broccoli,"
407
00:15:49,157 --> 00:15:51,201
but that's still about drugs,
so -- Uh-oh.

00:19:47,729 --> 00:19:49,606
Was it hard to let go?
516
00:19:49,606 --> 00:19:51,608
Extremely.
517
00:19:51,608 --> 00:19:53,568
But if I hadn't,
I wouldn't have met Zach.
518
00:19:53,568 --> 00:19:56,905
Ah, yes. Zach, boyfriend of two
years that I knew nothing about.
519
00:19:56,905 --> 00:19:59,282
- (chuckles)
- He's 5'9".
520
00:19:59,366 --> 00:20:02,619
He loves dogs.
He spells his name with a "ch."
521
00:20:02,619 --> 00:20:04,662
All right.
Well, that's a start.
522
00:20:04,746 --> 00:20:06,456
I'd love to meet him one day.
523
00:20:06,456 --> 00:20:09,042
Unless, you know,
we're not there yet.
524
00:20:09,834 --> 00:20:12,379
I'll bring him around.
525
00:20:12,379 --> 00:20:14,005
Hey, whatever you do,
526
00:20:14,089 --> 00:20:17,425
you should know that I love
and support you as a friend.
527
00:20:18,802 --> 00:20:20,178
And, most importantly,
528
00:20:20,178 --> 00:20:24,474
maybe give yourself a chance to
be the best Janine you can be.
529
00:20:24,474 --> 00:20:26,142
TARIQ:
Let's go! Let's go!
530
00:20:26,226 --> 00:20:29,187
Yeah! Let's go.
Whoo!
531
00:20:29,187 --> 00:20:35,527
♪
532
00:20:36,111 --> 00:20:38,613
Okay. This is gonna be on
your assessment, so let's focus.
533
00:20:38,697 --> 00:20:42,283
If there are 12 bikes
and Riley buys 4,
534
00:20:42,367 --> 00:20:45,620
how many bikes are left
in the store?
535
00:20:45,704 --> 00:20:47,956
Why does Riley need
so many bikes?
536
00:20:49,666 --> 00:20:52,293
That is a good question.
For his friends.
537
00:20:52,377 --> 00:20:53,795
Is he in a bicycle gang?
538
00:20:54,504 --> 00:20:55,839
Yes.
539
00:20:55,839 --> 00:20:58,550
Then there's 8 bikes left.
540
00:20:58,550 --> 00:20:59,926
That's correct.
541
00:21:00,010 --> 00:21:01,886
Can you do the dance?
542
00:21:01,970 --> 00:21:03,471
What did I say?
543
00:21:03,555 --> 00:21:06,141
You get this right,
then we dancin'.
544
00:21:06,141 --> 00:21:08,018
Come on, y'all.
Get up with it.
545
00:21:08,018 --> 00:21:10,145
Hey, okay.
546
00:21:10,145 --> 00:21:12,313
Okay.
All right.
547
00:21:12,397 --> 00:21:14,858
Let's go.
Hey, oh, oh.
548
00:21:14,858 --> 00:21:17,027
- (children laughing)
- Oh!
549
00:21:17,027 --> 00:21:19,112
Hey, oh!
550
00:21:19,112 --> 00:21:20,989
Hey!
551
00:21:20,989 --> 00:21:22,282
(laughs)
552
00:21:29,497 --> 00:21:32,333
