1
00:00:04,045 --> 00:00:05,922
Let me see these
permission slips to the zoo.
2
00:00:06,006 --> 00:00:07,173
And they better be real,
'cause I can tell
3
00:00:07,257 --> 00:00:10,093
- if you faked a Herbie Hancock.
- Oh, it's John Hancock.
4
00:00:10,093 --> 00:00:11,970
Girl, I know.
I just say whatever I want.
5
00:00:11,970 --> 00:00:13,596
You ain't learned that yet?
(chuckles)
6
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,141
Chad, did you forge
your mom's signature?
7
00:00:17,559 --> 00:00:19,019
No?
8
00:00:19,019 --> 00:00:20,687
It says "Chad's Mom."
9
00:00:20,687 --> 00:00:22,731
That's her name?
10
00:00:22,731 --> 00:00:24,149
You're staying behind
with the rest of the kids
11
00:00:24,149 --> 00:00:25,525
who don't have permission slips.
Come on.
12
00:00:27,068 --> 00:00:28,236
I love field trips.
13
00:00:28,236 --> 00:00:30,363
I get to do
Mr. Johnson's Day Off.
14
00:00:30,447 --> 00:00:32,824
That's when I watch
Ferris Bueller's Day Off,
15
00:00:32,824 --> 00:00:35,160
which is a movie
about a depressed kid
16
00:00:35,160 --> 00:00:37,287
who murders
his father's Ferrari.
17
00:00:38,413 --> 00:00:41,875
Mr. Johnson, sorry to interrupt
whatever this is,
18
00:00:41,875 --> 00:00:44,544
but these kids
need to stay with you.
19
00:00:44,544 --> 00:00:46,379
Well, looks like
Ava switched this day
20
00:00:46,463 --> 00:00:49,924
from Ferris Bueller's Day Off
to The Breakfast Club.
21
00:00:50,008 --> 00:00:51,259
Life moves pretty fast,
22
00:00:51,343 --> 00:00:52,677
and if you don't stop
every once in a while
23
00:00:52,761 --> 00:00:54,304
to take a look,
you might --
24
00:00:54,304 --> 00:00:56,431
Missed one.
(chuckles)
25
00:00:58,600 --> 00:00:59,601
Come on in.
26
00:00:59,601 --> 00:01:02,562
(Maker's "Hold'em" playing)
27
00:01:02,562 --> 00:01:11,029
♪
28
00:01:13,323 --> 00:01:15,408
- It's zoo time!
- (kids cheering)
29
00:01:15,492 --> 00:01:17,744
I got some free chaperones
so that I could save money --
30
00:01:17,744 --> 00:01:19,245
we could save money!
31
00:01:19,329 --> 00:01:22,248
One of whom is my daughter, Taylor.
32
00:01:22,332 --> 00:01:26,169
And Taylor
lives in New York City!
33
00:01:26,169 --> 00:01:27,754
CHILDREN: Boo!
34
00:01:27,754 --> 00:01:29,839
Boo!
35
00:01:29,923 --> 00:01:31,257
O-Oh, sorry.
36
00:01:31,341 --> 00:01:34,260
I heard people booing New York,
and my instinct just kicked in.
37
00:01:34,344 --> 00:01:36,596
You knew
they were gonna do that.
38
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,098
Okay, class, this is --
39
00:01:38,098 --> 00:01:40,016
Oh, I guess
you've already met Zach.
40
00:01:40,100 --> 00:01:42,686
Yeah, Scrub and Bubbles
will take that mark right off.
41
00:01:42,686 --> 00:01:45,855
But you got to use the foam,
not the spray.
42
00:01:45,939 --> 00:01:48,316
Uh, Tariq, you cannot trade
a sandwich.
43
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:49,526
You need to eat
your sandwich.
44
00:01:49,526 --> 00:01:51,695
I pay taxes.
I ain't gotta eat no sandwich.
45
00:01:51,695 --> 00:01:53,613
AVA: Janine,
there can't be any mishaps.
46
00:01:53,697 --> 00:01:55,156
I didn't exactly
"fill out" the paperwork
47
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:56,282
for the school district.
48
00:01:56,366 --> 00:01:58,076
Wait.
Then why are we going?
49
00:01:58,076 --> 00:02:00,370
'Cause I wanna go to the zoo,
so keep your man in check.
50
00:02:00,370 --> 00:02:02,080
AVA:
Tariq's been doing great.
51
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,290
He's been doing shows
for F.A.D.E.,
52
00:02:04,374 --> 00:02:06,501
that drug prevention program,
all around Philly.
53
00:02:06,501 --> 00:02:10,005
And he has been waking up
at 11:50
54
00:02:10,005 --> 00:02:11,047
to get a jump on his day.
55
00:02:11,131 --> 00:02:12,799
So proud.
56
00:02:12,799 --> 00:02:14,843
I don't know why people act like
it's hard to watch kids, anyway.
57
00:02:14,843 --> 00:02:17,012
Watch this. Hey,
when I move, you move.
58
00:02:17,012 --> 00:02:18,054
CHILDREN:
Just like that!
59
00:02:18,138 --> 00:02:19,222
When I move, you move.
60
00:02:19,222 --> 00:02:20,306
CHILDREN:
Just like that!
61
00:02:20,390 --> 00:02:21,683
When I move, you move.
62
00:02:21,683 --> 00:02:23,143
CHILDREN:
Just like that!
63
00:02:25,812 --> 00:02:27,105
Hold up. I'm missing a kid.
64
00:02:27,105 --> 00:02:28,314
This one of yours?
65
00:02:28,398 --> 00:02:30,692
I found him
hiding inside a trash bag.
66
00:02:30,692 --> 00:02:32,235
I almost threw him out.
67
00:02:32,235 --> 00:02:34,904
Kenny, yeah. Come on, man.
Thank you, Mr. Johnson.
68
00:02:34,988 --> 00:02:37,907
Can I go to the water zoo
instead?
69
00:02:37,991 --> 00:02:38,992
You mean the aquarium?
70
00:02:38,992 --> 00:02:40,744
N-Next time, buddy.
Go ahead, sit down.
71
00:02:40,744 --> 00:02:43,204
- Is Kenny okay?
- Yeah, he's...
72
00:02:43,288 --> 00:02:45,248
just a little nervous
about going into second grade.
73
00:02:45,248 --> 00:02:47,876
Oh, I get it.
New experiences can be tough.
74
00:02:47,876 --> 00:02:49,419
Which I get.
75
00:02:49,419 --> 00:02:51,254
I remember the first time
I had clam chowder.
76
00:02:51,338 --> 00:02:53,173
'Cause it was yesterday,
and it was awful.
77
00:02:54,007 --> 00:02:55,133
Hey, you know,
I'm probably gonna be
78
00:02:55,133 --> 00:02:56,801
Kenny's 2nd grade teacher.
79
00:02:56,885 --> 00:02:59,471
Why don't you just let him get
a head start with me today?
80
00:02:59,471 --> 00:03:01,765
- That'd be great. Yeah.
- Yeah? Okay.
81
00:03:01,765 --> 00:03:03,641
Hey, Kenny,
82
00:03:03,725 --> 00:03:05,852
would you like to be
in my group today?
83
00:03:05,852 --> 00:03:08,938
Uh, not really.
84
00:03:09,022 --> 00:03:11,274
That's the spirit.
I got 'em.
85
00:03:12,275 --> 00:03:14,444
BARBARA: Go ahead.
86
00:03:14,444 --> 00:03:17,197
All right, now, has everybody
used the bathroom?
87
00:03:17,197 --> 00:03:19,407
This is your last chance!
88
00:03:19,491 --> 00:03:21,493
TAYLOR: Were we this crazy
when I was in your class?
89
00:03:21,493 --> 00:03:24,120
No. And I blame
Real Housewives.
90
00:03:24,204 --> 00:03:25,455
The kids watch
with their mothers,
91
00:03:25,455 --> 00:03:27,999
and every season,
a new beast is created.
92
00:03:28,083 --> 00:03:29,751
- (chomps)
- Wha--
93
00:03:29,751 --> 00:03:32,504
Don't bite me with
your fake Gucci jacket!
94
00:03:32,504 --> 00:03:34,381
All right, sit down!
And every--
95
00:03:34,381 --> 00:03:36,633
Just relax, okay?
Just relax!
96
00:03:36,633 --> 00:03:39,094
Mrs. Howard,
I've gotta use the bathroom.
97
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,098
Party bus!
If you're excited, say, "Yass!"
98
00:03:43,098 --> 00:03:45,016
(all cheer)
99
00:03:45,100 --> 00:03:47,143
Okay. What big cat's
everybody gonna see first?
100
00:03:47,227 --> 00:03:48,895
- CHILDREN: Lions!
- Lion! That's right.
101
00:03:48,895 --> 00:03:50,021
Boom.
102
00:03:50,105 --> 00:03:51,731
Meow, y'all!
(laughs)
103
00:03:51,815 --> 00:03:54,984
What? Ava, you really
had to change into that?
104
00:03:55,068 --> 00:03:57,070
Of course I did. The zoo
is a Mecca for single dads.
105
00:03:57,070 --> 00:03:58,905
Better pickings than
a Sunday brunch up in there.
106
00:03:58,905 --> 00:04:00,240
Now, who ready
for the zoo?!
107
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:01,282
- (engine starts)
- CHILDREN: Me!
108
00:04:01,366 --> 00:04:04,119
(all cheering)
109
00:04:04,119 --> 00:04:05,662
(engine revs)
110
00:04:05,662 --> 00:04:08,289
The ♪
111
00:04:08,373 --> 00:04:12,168
♪ Wheels on the bus
go round and round ♪
112
00:04:12,252 --> 00:04:13,878
Round and round ♪
113
00:04:13,962 --> 00:04:15,422
Round and round ♪
114
00:04:15,422 --> 00:04:17,298
Okay.
So, just remember,
115
00:04:17,382 --> 00:04:18,591
everyone needs to be
with their buddy,
116
00:04:18,675 --> 00:04:20,719
and if you see someone, like,
start to meander off --
117
00:04:20,719 --> 00:04:22,762
- Bruh!
- What?
118
00:04:22,846 --> 00:04:25,265
I just got an e-mail
from F.A.D.E. headquarters.
119
00:04:25,265 --> 00:04:26,516
Oh, no.
Did they have a problem
120
00:04:26,516 --> 00:04:27,851
with one of
your performances?
121
00:04:27,851 --> 00:04:29,102
- Yeah.
- Oh.
122
00:04:29,102 --> 00:04:31,771
Yeah, they got a problem with me
not doing more of them.
123
00:04:31,855 --> 00:04:33,648
- Wait. What?
- Oh, man.
124
00:04:33,732 --> 00:04:36,568
I didn't want to jinx it
by telling you, but...
125
00:04:36,568 --> 00:04:37,944
they want me to do
a whole tour,
126
00:04:38,028 --> 00:04:39,946
like, every elementary school
in New York
127
00:04:40,030 --> 00:04:42,699
and record a whole album
of, like, anti-meth songs
128
00:04:42,699 --> 00:04:44,200
called
"Meth-od To My Madness."
129
00:04:44,284 --> 00:04:45,452
- Oh!
- It just got confirmed.
130
00:04:45,452 --> 00:04:46,745
Oh, my goodness!
131
00:04:46,745 --> 00:04:47,996
Everybody catchin'
F.A.D.E. fades.
132
00:04:47,996 --> 00:04:49,914
- Oh, my God.
- Oh, my gosh, Tariq!
133
00:04:49,998 --> 00:04:52,125
- This is incredible!
- I know, it's wild.
134
00:04:52,125 --> 00:04:54,753
It's crazy to think that I,
Tariq Temple,
135
00:04:54,753 --> 00:04:57,547
could single-handedly stop
drug use in all of America.
136
00:04:57,547 --> 00:05:00,633
Well, I am really proud
of you, baby.
137
00:05:00,717 --> 00:05:02,218
This is everything
you've been working for.
138
00:05:02,302 --> 00:05:03,803
It's everything
we've been working for.
139
00:05:03,887 --> 00:05:05,013
- Yeah. (laughs)
- This is crazy.
140
00:05:05,013 --> 00:05:07,098
So, does this mean
that you're going to be
141
00:05:07,182 --> 00:05:09,100
working full-time
in New York City?
142
00:05:09,184 --> 00:05:11,644
I mean, yeah, at least for,
like, the next year, right?
143
00:05:11,728 --> 00:05:14,356
You know.
Whoo! (laughs)
144
00:05:14,356 --> 00:05:16,566
Jadakiss don't even know,
but we 'bout to have, like,
145
00:05:16,566 --> 00:05:18,443
the craziest rap beef
in rap beef history.
146
00:05:18,443 --> 00:05:20,278
'Cause you know,
he stole my laugh.
147
00:05:20,362 --> 00:05:22,155
A-ha! A-ha!
148
00:05:22,155 --> 00:05:24,240
She doesn't know
about that. Yeah.
149
00:05:24,324 --> 00:05:26,659
Well, this is just such
amazing news, Tariq. Wow.
150
00:05:26,743 --> 00:05:27,702
Yeah.
I gotta call 'em back.
151
00:05:27,786 --> 00:05:28,745
- (laughs)
- (chuckles)
152
00:05:28,745 --> 00:05:31,790
- We moving to New York, baby!
- Wait. What?
153
00:05:31,790 --> 00:05:33,625
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I gotta
talk to, uh, Mr. F.A.D.E.
154
00:05:33,625 --> 00:05:35,919
What do you mean
there's no Mr. F.A.D.E.?
155
00:05:38,004 --> 00:05:40,548
(indistinct conversations)
156
00:05:40,632 --> 00:05:43,093
- Two, three...
- There you go. Right there.
157
00:05:43,093 --> 00:05:45,220
Yeah.
When I move, you move.
158
00:05:45,220 --> 00:05:46,805
CHILDREN:
Just like that!
159
00:05:46,805 --> 00:05:48,098
- Uh, yeah, that's all of them.
- Yeah.
160
00:05:48,098 --> 00:05:49,516
- I can hear it.
- Come on, let's go.
161
00:05:49,516 --> 00:05:51,976
- Come on, guys.
- Okay. So, what's your plan?
162
00:05:52,060 --> 00:05:54,104
I don't know.
I mean, New York is really far.
163
00:05:54,104 --> 00:05:55,230
Far for me, anyway.
164
00:05:55,230 --> 00:05:57,148
I've never lived anywhere
outside of Philly.
165
00:05:57,232 --> 00:05:58,942
And, I don't know,
there are a lot of schools there
166
00:05:58,942 --> 00:06:00,360
that could use
a teacher like me.
167
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,613
But I just refilled
my transit pass, and...
168
00:06:03,697 --> 00:06:05,532
I don't know, maybe this is
just, like, that moment --
169
00:06:05,532 --> 00:06:08,034
Okay. I just meant what exhibit
did you plan on hitting first?
170
00:06:08,118 --> 00:06:10,912
Oh, um, the flamingos?
171
00:06:10,912 --> 00:06:12,664
Oh, hey, 'Neen!
172
00:06:12,664 --> 00:06:14,749
That's the best neck
I ever seen. Look.
173
00:06:16,334 --> 00:06:17,627
- Come on.
- MELISSA: Okay, kids, come on.
174
00:06:17,711 --> 00:06:20,296
Let's play a game called
"How many animals do you spot
175
00:06:20,380 --> 00:06:22,799
on the way to getting
Ms. Schemmenti a hot pretzel?"
176
00:06:22,799 --> 00:06:25,010
This one looks best on me.
(chuckles)
177
00:06:26,219 --> 00:06:27,637
Now take a candid of me
walking in,
178
00:06:27,721 --> 00:06:28,847
and I'll tell you when.
179
00:06:28,847 --> 00:06:32,642
('80s rock music plays)
180
00:06:32,726 --> 00:06:42,485
♪
181
00:06:42,569 --> 00:06:44,571
Oh!
182
00:06:44,571 --> 00:06:45,655
You like dancing?
183
00:06:45,739 --> 00:06:47,782
Well, this dance is called
"the vac it up."
184
00:06:49,034 --> 00:06:50,702
I heard it's going viral.
185
00:06:50,702 --> 00:06:52,954
You, plug it in.
186
00:06:53,038 --> 00:06:57,584
I want y'all to take turns
and have fun.
187
00:06:57,584 --> 00:07:01,713
All right, children, get ready
to see my favorite animal --
188
00:07:01,713 --> 00:07:03,089
the tuatara!
189
00:07:03,173 --> 00:07:05,550
It's a lizard that arrived here
at the zoo
190
00:07:05,550 --> 00:07:07,927
the same year
I started teaching.
191
00:07:10,472 --> 00:07:12,557
What? Where's...
192
00:07:12,557 --> 00:07:15,018
Oh, excuse me.
Where's Duster?
193
00:07:15,018 --> 00:07:16,186
Oh, he's in a reserve.
194
00:07:16,186 --> 00:07:18,521
When the stimulation here
gets to be too much,
195
00:07:18,605 --> 00:07:20,565
- we retire them.
- Retire them?
196
00:07:20,565 --> 00:07:23,401
But he's been here
as long as I've been coming.
197
00:07:23,485 --> 00:07:24,569
Cycle of life.
198
00:07:24,569 --> 00:07:26,071
Oh.
199
00:07:28,656 --> 00:07:31,618
Melissa, they have retired
my Duster.
200
00:07:31,618 --> 00:07:33,495
Retired
like my Uncle Anthony
201
00:07:33,495 --> 00:07:35,622
or retired
like my Uncle Tony?
202
00:07:37,332 --> 00:07:38,500
It's just a lizard, Barb.
203
00:07:38,500 --> 00:07:40,835
Duster is a tuatara.
204
00:07:40,919 --> 00:07:43,963
He is an institution that
I have been coming here to visit
205
00:07:44,047 --> 00:07:45,465
for 30 years.
206
00:07:45,465 --> 00:07:47,634
He's been working
as long as I have!
207
00:07:47,634 --> 00:07:49,010
Retirement?
208
00:07:49,094 --> 00:07:51,012
Okay, guys, let's give
Mrs. Howard a minute.
209
00:07:51,096 --> 00:07:53,056
Move out.
210
00:07:53,056 --> 00:07:55,600
And that is how birds
are related to dinosaurs.
211
00:07:55,684 --> 00:07:57,936
CHILDREN: Ooh!
212
00:07:57,936 --> 00:08:00,730
Theropods, to be exact,
which means they're bipedal.
213
00:08:00,814 --> 00:08:02,273
Come on. Do your job, son.
214
00:08:02,357 --> 00:08:04,234
- (scoffs)
- Macaws need a variety...
215
00:08:04,234 --> 00:08:06,277
Hey.
Kenny, how you doing?
216
00:08:06,361 --> 00:08:08,738
You, uh, enjoying learning
about that bird life?
217
00:08:08,822 --> 00:08:09,989
I guess.
218
00:08:11,574 --> 00:08:12,784
You know, Kenny,
I hear you're worried
219
00:08:12,784 --> 00:08:15,328
about going to
the second grade.
220
00:08:15,412 --> 00:08:17,205
But it really isn't
that big a change.
221
00:08:17,205 --> 00:08:19,165
It's, like,
two nickels' worth.
222
00:08:19,249 --> 00:08:20,792
Yeah, you'll have
all the same friends,
223
00:08:20,792 --> 00:08:22,585
and it'll be
in the same place.
224
00:08:22,669 --> 00:08:25,422
- Really?
- Yeah.
225
00:08:25,422 --> 00:08:26,715
That's good, I guess.
226
00:08:26,715 --> 00:08:29,384
Yeah, it isn't like
you'd be moving to a new city
227
00:08:29,384 --> 00:08:32,470
where you maybe don't know
anyone except for one person.
228
00:08:32,554 --> 00:08:33,638
And maybe that person
isn't even thinking
229
00:08:33,722 --> 00:08:35,265
about how this
is gonna affect you.
230
00:08:35,265 --> 00:08:37,851
It's just crazy.
231
00:08:41,563 --> 00:08:44,149
All right. Let's regroup
after the bird show, all right?
232
00:08:44,149 --> 00:08:45,859
That's a parakeet.
233
00:08:47,610 --> 00:08:49,738
(sighs)
234
00:08:51,114 --> 00:08:52,115
How's Kenny?
235
00:08:52,115 --> 00:08:53,742
Oh.
236
00:08:53,742 --> 00:08:56,494
He's okay. Um...
237
00:08:56,578 --> 00:08:59,456
Definitely scared,
but I get it.
238
00:08:59,456 --> 00:09:01,541
Change can be scary.
239
00:09:01,541 --> 00:09:03,334
But you know that
better than anyone --
240
00:09:03,418 --> 00:09:04,377
you know, as a sub.
241
00:09:04,461 --> 00:09:05,962
You're here one day
242
00:09:06,046 --> 00:09:07,714
and in a totally different
school tomorrow.
243
00:09:07,714 --> 00:09:10,550
Well, not anymore, actually.
244
00:09:13,470 --> 00:09:14,971
Just got this today.
245
00:09:17,849 --> 00:09:19,392
You're full-time?
246
00:09:19,476 --> 00:09:21,394
Yeah, Abbott
is a special place.
247
00:09:21,478 --> 00:09:23,646
And you helped me realize that,
so thank you.
248
00:09:25,732 --> 00:09:27,484
Yeah.
249
00:09:27,484 --> 00:09:30,111
Is there a skunk around here?
Because my eyes are watering.
250
00:09:30,195 --> 00:09:31,237
(both laugh)
251
00:09:35,158 --> 00:09:36,409
I got you
a clam chowder
252
00:09:36,493 --> 00:09:37,702
since you loved it
so much yesterday.
253
00:09:37,786 --> 00:09:39,287
Oh!
254
00:09:39,371 --> 00:09:41,790
They sell clam chowder
at the zoo?
255
00:09:41,790 --> 00:09:43,750
In -- In a bowl
you can eat.
256
00:09:43,750 --> 00:09:45,085
- Yay!
- (Chuckles)
257
00:09:45,085 --> 00:09:46,795
And it helps
with the search for food.
258
00:09:46,795 --> 00:09:49,089
And that's why you don't feed
a bird any meat, kids,
259
00:09:49,089 --> 00:09:51,299
because then they'll revert back
into a T. Rex.
260
00:09:51,383 --> 00:09:52,884
Now, who wants to go
on a real tour?!
261
00:09:52,884 --> 00:09:54,010
Come on!
262
00:09:54,094 --> 00:09:55,845
I'm about to show y'all
how I do.
263
00:09:57,222 --> 00:09:58,598
- (sighs)
- I should probably go with her
264
00:09:58,682 --> 00:10:00,767
so they don't wind up
on the news.
265
00:10:02,686 --> 00:10:04,437
- You -- Do you want some?
- No, I just had some.
266
00:10:04,521 --> 00:10:06,690
- You sure?
- It's all for you.
267
00:10:07,941 --> 00:10:09,651
I heard about Tariq's
new gig.
268
00:10:09,651 --> 00:10:11,361
The zoo is buzzing.
269
00:10:11,361 --> 00:10:14,239
Yeah. I'm really happy
for Tariq.
270
00:10:15,573 --> 00:10:17,409
Can't imagine Abbott
without you.
271
00:10:20,078 --> 00:10:22,831
I really can't imagine
not being at Abbott.
272
00:10:22,831 --> 00:10:25,291
I can't, um...
273
00:10:27,001 --> 00:10:31,339
I'm -- I'm gonna go, uh,
find some, uh, hippos.
274
00:10:31,423 --> 00:10:33,717
Um... Guys.
275
00:10:36,386 --> 00:10:37,721
- Careful.
- BARBARA: Slow down, now.
276
00:10:37,721 --> 00:10:39,305
Careful, careful.
277
00:10:40,557 --> 00:10:42,684
(sighs)
278
00:10:42,684 --> 00:10:46,354
Are you at least having
a good day at the zoo, Barb?
279
00:10:46,438 --> 00:10:49,024
You know, one of the last things
I get to do with my students
280
00:10:49,024 --> 00:10:50,817
before they move on
to first grade
281
00:10:50,817 --> 00:10:53,987
is to come out here
and visit with Duster,
282
00:10:53,987 --> 00:10:56,489
and class after class,
they graduate,
283
00:10:56,573 --> 00:11:00,118
and it seems like ol' Barbara
is in the same place.
284
00:11:00,118 --> 00:11:02,746
And... I just don't know
285
00:11:02,746 --> 00:11:04,914
if I have the energy
for this anymore.
286
00:11:04,998 --> 00:11:08,001
Maybe I should
just move on.
287
00:11:08,001 --> 00:11:10,920
Wow. Been kind of thinking
the same thing lately.
288
00:11:11,755 --> 00:11:13,465
What, you're thinking about
quitting teaching?
289
00:11:13,465 --> 00:11:15,342
No. I'm thinking about --
290
00:11:15,342 --> 00:11:16,926
Wait, you're thinking about
quitting teaching?
291
00:11:17,010 --> 00:11:17,969
- (chuckles)
- TARIQ: Yeah, you know,
292
00:11:18,053 --> 00:11:20,013
none of these dinosaurs
is actually real, you know,
293
00:11:20,013 --> 00:11:21,389
or else we'd all be a meal.
294
00:11:21,473 --> 00:11:23,016
(laughs)
Oh, wait! That's a bar.
295
00:11:23,016 --> 00:11:25,101
You know, dinosaurs,
they been extinct,
296
00:11:25,185 --> 00:11:27,354
went bye bye bye like NSYNC.
297
00:11:27,354 --> 00:11:29,356
T. Rex, he's the meanest,
got little arms,
298
00:11:29,356 --> 00:11:30,899
- can't even touch his --
- JANINE: Tariq! Tariq.
299
00:11:32,150 --> 00:11:35,278
...head...because
all the dinosaurs is dead.
300
00:11:35,362 --> 00:11:37,030
Except me. Rawr!
301
00:11:37,030 --> 00:11:39,366
- (children screaming)
- Raar! Raar!
302
00:11:40,909 --> 00:11:41,951
- Hey, baby.
- Hi.
303
00:11:42,035 --> 00:11:43,078
This is fun.
304
00:11:43,078 --> 00:11:45,038
I wanted to talk to you
about New York.
305
00:11:45,038 --> 00:11:46,081
Yes, yes, okay.
306
00:11:46,081 --> 00:11:47,791
So, I've been looking at
some apartments
307
00:11:47,791 --> 00:11:50,710
and seeing the pricing, and,
whoa, buddy, can't swing that.
308
00:11:50,794 --> 00:11:52,212
- Yeah.
- So I've been looking at
309
00:11:52,212 --> 00:11:54,964
some really roomy closets
in, like, Bushwick.
310
00:11:55,048 --> 00:11:56,716
- You know?
- This is, um...
311
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,052
It's a really big conversation.
312
00:11:59,052 --> 00:12:00,553
- Uh, yeah, yeah.
- Yeah.
313
00:12:00,637 --> 00:12:02,597
And, look, I don't want to
force any decisions
314
00:12:02,681 --> 00:12:03,640
on your behalf.
315
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:04,683
You know I'm a feminist.
316
00:12:04,683 --> 00:12:06,768
That's why I let you pay
for all my stuff, and --
317
00:12:06,768 --> 00:12:08,228
Yeah,
and I appreciate that.
318
00:12:08,228 --> 00:12:10,563
Um, it's just that...
319
00:12:10,647 --> 00:12:11,898
you know how much
I love my job,
320
00:12:11,898 --> 00:12:13,316
and you know how much
I love Philly.
321
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:14,651
And, um...
322
00:12:15,652 --> 00:12:17,362
What are you thinking,
'Neen?
323
00:12:17,362 --> 00:12:18,530
Just...
324
00:12:18,530 --> 00:12:21,908
You know how when a butterfly
comes out of its cocoon?
325
00:12:21,908 --> 00:12:25,453
Are we talking, like,
monarch butterfly?
326
00:12:25,537 --> 00:12:27,247
No, I, um...
327
00:12:27,247 --> 00:12:29,749
I guess what I'm saying...
328
00:12:32,419 --> 00:12:33,920
You know what?
Never mind.
329
00:12:34,004 --> 00:12:35,964
Cool.
330
00:12:35,964 --> 00:12:37,924
Wait, I think
you're missing a kid.
331
00:12:38,008 --> 00:12:40,468
- What?
- Yeah, yeah.
332
00:12:40,552 --> 00:12:41,678
When I move, you move!
333
00:12:41,678 --> 00:12:43,888
CHILDREN:
Just like that!
334
00:12:43,972 --> 00:12:45,974
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're down one backup singer.
335
00:12:45,974 --> 00:12:48,101
That's supposed to have
more bass in it.
336
00:12:49,185 --> 00:12:50,270
Kenny!
337
00:12:50,270 --> 00:12:51,646
Yes, yes, Kenny.
338
00:12:51,730 --> 00:12:53,940
That's my bass. Kenny.
339
00:12:54,816 --> 00:12:56,192
Oh, my God.
We lost Kenny.
340
00:12:56,276 --> 00:12:58,778
I lost Kenny. I lost a kid.
I'm negligent.
341
00:12:58,862 --> 00:13:00,905
Damn. You're supposed to be
the boring, dependable one.
342
00:13:00,989 --> 00:13:02,449
This is an unsanctioned
field trip.
343
00:13:02,449 --> 00:13:03,867
I'm not doing
jail time for you.
344
00:13:03,867 --> 00:13:05,910
Melissa, get zoo security
to make an announcement.
345
00:13:05,994 --> 00:13:06,995
- On it.
- Jacob, Zach,
346
00:13:06,995 --> 00:13:09,039
I need you to check the buses thoroughly,
347
00:13:09,039 --> 00:13:10,165
- then stand near the exit.
- Let's go.
348
00:13:10,165 --> 00:13:12,250
Gregory, Janine,
check the zoo balloon
349
00:13:12,250 --> 00:13:14,127
in case Kenny goes airborne.
350
00:13:14,127 --> 00:13:15,754
- Kids love balloons.
- Okay.
351
00:13:15,754 --> 00:13:16,838
Tariq, Ava, stay here
352
00:13:16,838 --> 00:13:18,131
- with the other children.
- Kenny!
353
00:13:18,131 --> 00:13:19,507
- Got it.
- Taylor, watch them.
354
00:13:19,591 --> 00:13:20,675
- JANINE: Kenny!
- BARBARA: Y'all stay
355
00:13:20,759 --> 00:13:23,053
- together now.
- JANINE: Kenny!
356
00:13:23,053 --> 00:13:24,804
Kenny!
357
00:13:24,888 --> 00:13:26,890
Kenny?
Oh, my God.
358
00:13:26,890 --> 00:13:29,309
I cannot believe
I lost him.
359
00:13:29,309 --> 00:13:30,477
- What I was thinking?
- It's all right.
360
00:13:30,477 --> 00:13:32,270
BOTH: Kenny!
361
00:13:32,354 --> 00:13:33,313
I have been through this
many times before.
362
00:13:33,313 --> 00:13:34,356
(Gregory and Janine shouting
"Kenny!")
363
00:13:34,356 --> 00:13:36,024
The worst was 2005.
364
00:13:36,024 --> 00:13:39,027
A child by the name of August
got lost in The Hershey Factory,
365
00:13:39,027 --> 00:13:41,029
looking for a chocolate river.
366
00:13:41,029 --> 00:13:42,447
Mnh!
367
00:13:46,242 --> 00:13:48,495
Kondo, you so crazy.
368
00:13:48,495 --> 00:13:50,330
I am so bored.
369
00:13:50,330 --> 00:13:51,623
MR. JOHNSON: Oh, you're bored?
370
00:13:51,623 --> 00:13:54,751
Then write me a one-page essay
due by the end of the day.
371
00:13:54,751 --> 00:13:56,419
About what?
372
00:13:56,503 --> 00:13:58,171
Um, how about
superheroes?
373
00:13:59,673 --> 00:14:01,257
Can I just draw?
374
00:14:01,341 --> 00:14:03,093
Whatever it takes
to keep you out of my hair.
375
00:14:03,093 --> 00:14:05,261
Sir, you are bald.
376
00:14:08,765 --> 00:14:11,309
Kenny!
377
00:14:11,393 --> 00:14:13,103
Kenny.
378
00:14:13,103 --> 00:14:15,271
Gregory, I found him.
379
00:14:15,355 --> 00:14:17,148
- I got it, I got it.
- Uh, are you sure?
380
00:14:17,232 --> 00:14:19,192
Yeah. Hey, Kenny.
381
00:14:19,192 --> 00:14:21,444
We were so worried about you.
Are you all right?
382
00:14:21,528 --> 00:14:23,279
(basket door closes)
383
00:14:23,363 --> 00:14:24,447
No, no, no,
no, no, no, no.
384
00:14:24,531 --> 00:14:26,074
- Hey, uh, excuse me, sir.
- Hmm?
385
00:14:26,074 --> 00:14:27,826
- We -- We need to get off.
- Too late, little lady.
386
00:14:27,826 --> 00:14:29,327
As the saying goes,
387
00:14:29,411 --> 00:14:32,205
once the gate's closed,
it's away we goes!
388
00:14:32,205 --> 00:14:33,248
(metal clinks)
389
00:14:33,248 --> 00:14:36,126
- (basket creaks)
- (gasps)
390
00:14:36,126 --> 00:14:38,211
(indistinct conversations)
391
00:14:41,589 --> 00:14:43,008
Well, this should be interesting.
392
00:14:43,008 --> 00:14:45,135
Janine was afraid of heights
going up a ladder,
393
00:14:45,135 --> 00:14:46,886
and now she's much higher.
394
00:14:46,970 --> 00:14:48,763
GUIDE: Over there is
the new Schuylkill Boardwalk.
395
00:14:48,847 --> 00:14:50,265
- Hey.
- Hey.
396
00:14:50,265 --> 00:14:51,558
Hey, could you let go
of my hand, please?
397
00:14:51,558 --> 00:14:52,809
- Oh.
- Check that out if you can.
398
00:14:52,809 --> 00:14:54,561
Are you afraid,
Ms. Teagues?
399
00:14:54,561 --> 00:14:57,147
Yes. Ms. Teagues
is afraid of heights.
400
00:14:57,147 --> 00:14:58,189
You know,
I gotta tell you,
401
00:14:58,273 --> 00:15:00,483
watching you snap
into Super Barbara Mode,
402
00:15:00,567 --> 00:15:02,318
that really took me back
403
00:15:02,402 --> 00:15:03,903
to when we started working
at Abbott.
404
00:15:03,987 --> 00:15:06,573
That was back when I used to
dress like Janine.
405
00:15:06,573 --> 00:15:08,700
(laughs)
406
00:15:09,951 --> 00:15:11,161
You're not
a turturro.
407
00:15:11,161 --> 00:15:13,413
- Tuatara.
- Whatever.
408
00:15:13,413 --> 00:15:15,874
My point is,
unlike the fancy lizard,
409
00:15:15,874 --> 00:15:18,918
no one's gonna take you
and put you in the back.
410
00:15:19,002 --> 00:15:20,337
I mean, it's up to you.
411
00:15:20,337 --> 00:15:23,673
My opinion --
you've gotten better with age.
412
00:15:23,757 --> 00:15:24,841
Like good wine
413
00:15:24,841 --> 00:15:26,426
- and Stanley Tucci.
- (chuckles)
414
00:15:28,428 --> 00:15:33,266
Well, you know, maybe one day,
I will pack it in.
415
00:15:33,350 --> 00:15:36,728
But today
is not that day.
416
00:15:36,728 --> 00:15:37,979
- Mnh-mnh.
- (chuckles)
417
00:15:38,063 --> 00:15:39,898
Is that a water ice?
418
00:15:39,898 --> 00:15:43,276
I was looking for the kid
while I was getting it.
419
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,987
JANINE: Kenny, it was very scary
when you ran away.
420
00:15:46,071 --> 00:15:47,489
Everyone was worried
about you.
421
00:15:47,489 --> 00:15:49,282
And we need to get off
this balloon.
422
00:15:49,366 --> 00:15:52,744
(sighs) Look, second grade
is gonna be incredible.
423
00:15:52,744 --> 00:15:55,080
You're gonna love it
just as much as first grade --
424
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:56,873
maybe even more.
425
00:15:56,873 --> 00:16:02,629
And sometimes, the best things
you can ever do are...
426
00:16:02,629 --> 00:16:04,047
the scary things.
427
00:16:05,465 --> 00:16:07,133
And they help you grow.
428
00:16:07,217 --> 00:16:08,927
GUIDE: You can see William Penn
really well from up here.
429
00:16:08,927 --> 00:16:11,971
And you're gonna have
a pretty cool teacher
430
00:16:12,055 --> 00:16:15,141
to help you
every step of the way.
431
00:16:15,225 --> 00:16:16,601
(sighs)
432
00:16:16,685 --> 00:16:18,311
So we're gonna do this
together, you know?
433
00:16:18,395 --> 00:16:22,357
We're going to love it,
even if it scares us.
434
00:16:22,357 --> 00:16:24,734
So now do you love
being on this balloon?
435
00:16:24,818 --> 00:16:25,902
No, I'm still very scared.
436
00:16:25,902 --> 00:16:28,488
But I'm gonna try to be brave
and stand up.
437
00:16:28,488 --> 00:16:29,572
Okay.
438
00:16:29,656 --> 00:16:30,782
Let's look over the side!
439
00:16:30,782 --> 00:16:32,826
Oh, da da da!
Not that brave yet.
440
00:16:32,826 --> 00:16:33,993
(wind whistling)
441
00:16:34,077 --> 00:16:35,578
- Ms. Teagues?
- Huh?
442
00:16:35,662 --> 00:16:37,372
You're squeezing me.
443
00:16:38,373 --> 00:16:40,125
- Ohh. There we go.
- Whoo!
444
00:16:40,125 --> 00:16:42,335
JANINE: Oh, my God.
What a ride.
445
00:16:42,419 --> 00:16:44,838
Did you see me up there?
446
00:16:44,838 --> 00:16:47,007
I am so happy
that Kenny is fine
447
00:16:47,007 --> 00:16:48,675
and that we're gonna get him
to the second grade,
448
00:16:48,675 --> 00:16:50,176
but, like, I don't know.
449
00:16:50,260 --> 00:16:51,761
What a rush!
(laughs)
450
00:16:51,845 --> 00:16:53,096
I can make changes.
451
00:16:53,096 --> 00:16:55,890
And...change is good.
452
00:16:55,974 --> 00:16:58,143
Everyone's making changes.
453
00:16:58,143 --> 00:16:59,269
I am always out of breath.
454
00:16:59,269 --> 00:17:01,396
It's like...
What is that?
455
00:17:01,396 --> 00:17:04,232
Because I feel like I should
get that checked out.
456
00:17:04,232 --> 00:17:05,859
Ooh!
You did that, baby.
457
00:17:05,859 --> 00:17:07,694
(chuckles)
That's crazy.
458
00:17:07,694 --> 00:17:09,237
I was --
You was up in the sky.
459
00:17:09,237 --> 00:17:10,864
I was -- I was scared, honestly.
I was very scared.
460
00:17:10,864 --> 00:17:12,699
I started rapping
when I was scared. I was like...
461
00:17:12,699 --> 00:17:14,034
(rapping) ♪ That's my little
balloon baby ♪
462
00:17:14,034 --> 00:17:15,535

464
00:17:17,162 --> 00:17:20,582
Tariq,
I'm so proud of you.
465
00:17:20,582 --> 00:17:22,709
You've worked really hard,
466
00:17:22,709 --> 00:17:24,794
and now you're getting
your big break.
467
00:17:24,878 --> 00:17:26,880
Well, you know,
it's a little break,
468
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,008
but I'm grateful for it,
like how I'm grateful for you.
469
00:17:32,344 --> 00:17:35,096
Tariq, I think our lives
are going down different paths.
470
00:17:39,142 --> 00:17:41,061
I think we should
take a break.
471
00:17:42,145 --> 00:17:43,813
A break from what,
'Neen?
472
00:17:46,483 --> 00:17:48,568
I don't want to move
to New York.
473
00:17:48,568 --> 00:17:52,447
So...you want to do
long distance?
474
00:17:52,447 --> 00:17:55,283
No. I want us
to take a break
475
00:17:55,367 --> 00:17:58,244
for the time
that you're in New York.
476
00:18:01,081 --> 00:18:02,374
I'm sorry.
477
00:18:02,374 --> 00:18:04,209
We've been together
since bag lunches.
478
00:18:04,209 --> 00:18:05,251
- Like...
- I know.
479
00:18:05,335 --> 00:18:07,087
I'm jelly,
you're peanut butter.
480
00:18:07,087 --> 00:18:09,047
I know, Tariq.
481
00:18:09,047 --> 00:18:11,675
I-I don't...
(sighs)
482
00:18:11,675 --> 00:18:13,927
What did that Kenny kid
say to you in the balloon?
483
00:18:13,927 --> 00:18:15,512
I knew he wasn't my dawg.
484
00:18:15,512 --> 00:18:18,682
I think we have
this opportunity
485
00:18:18,682 --> 00:18:21,309
to figure out who we are
without each other.
486
00:18:21,393 --> 00:18:22,977
I know I need that time.
487
00:18:31,945 --> 00:18:35,490
So, can I use that time
to smash other people or nah?
488
00:18:38,868 --> 00:18:40,203
Mm.
489
00:18:42,330 --> 00:18:45,417
- One last one for the road?
- Yeah.
490
00:18:55,051 --> 00:18:58,221
(bus engine idling)
491
00:18:58,221 --> 00:18:59,848
(indistinct conversations)
492
00:18:59,848 --> 00:19:01,725
I'm so glad they found that kid.
493
00:19:01,725 --> 00:19:04,394
I thought I was gon'
lose my job again. (chuckles)
494
00:19:04,394 --> 00:19:06,479
(high-pitched) Choo-choo!
All aboard the fun bus.
495
00:19:06,563 --> 00:19:07,522
Come on!
496
00:19:07,522 --> 00:19:09,858
(silly voice) Now that
was a good silly voice.
497
00:19:09,858 --> 00:19:11,901
- Well, thank you.
- Mm. We are amused.
498
00:19:11,985 --> 00:19:13,611
(laughs)
499
00:19:13,695 --> 00:19:15,905
(normal voice)
I'm excited for next year.
500
00:19:15,989 --> 00:19:17,949
This is what it looks like
when I'm excited.
501
00:19:18,033 --> 00:19:19,034
But at the end of the day,
502
00:19:19,034 --> 00:19:21,453
it wasn't a hard decision
to stay here.
503
00:19:21,453 --> 00:19:23,329
Abbott is a special place
504
00:19:23,413 --> 00:19:26,249
with a lot
of really special people.
505
00:19:26,249 --> 00:19:30,086
(indistinct conversations)
506
00:19:31,921 --> 00:19:33,673
You've come a long way,
Miss Teagues.
507
00:19:35,133 --> 00:19:37,093
And I'm happy
you're staying at Abbott.
508
00:19:38,470 --> 00:19:39,596
It's where you belong.
509
00:19:41,431 --> 00:19:42,932
Thank you, Mrs. Howard.
510
00:19:43,016 --> 00:19:44,851
(children shouting)
511
00:19:44,851 --> 00:19:45,977
Excuse me.
512
00:19:46,061 --> 00:19:48,355
Sit down!
513
00:19:48,355 --> 00:19:49,606
