1
00:00:01,653 --> 00:00:04,221
This is where our winter
vegetables will be growing.

2
00:00:04,221 --> 00:00:05,570
But we'll also have
tomatoes there next year.

3
00:00:05,570 --> 00:00:06,832
And, Barbara, I don't
want to get into it.

4
00:00:06,832 --> 00:00:08,269
This is not the dirt
I was promised.

5
00:00:08,269 --> 00:00:10,184
Barbara, you said you had
a good story for me.

6
00:00:10,184 --> 00:00:11,315
Ooh.

7
00:00:12,403 --> 00:00:15,058
What is that?

8
00:00:15,058 --> 00:00:16,233
Ugh.

9
00:00:16,233 --> 00:00:17,756
Oh, my God.

10
00:00:17,756 --> 00:00:18,931
A bone?

11
00:00:18,931 --> 00:00:20,498
From a person?

12
00:00:20,498 --> 00:00:21,499
Nope.

13
00:00:21,499 --> 00:00:22,587
Ohh.

14
00:00:22,587 --> 00:00:24,241
Have mercy.

15
00:00:24,241 --> 00:00:26,374
Got 'em.

16
00:00:27,766 --> 00:00:29,942
Wait.

17
00:00:29,942 --> 00:00:31,944
Was this the one I buried?

18
00:00:31,944 --> 00:00:33,424
Oh.

19
00:00:33,424 --> 00:00:35,383
It's a beef rib.

20
00:00:35,383 --> 00:00:36,732
Got 'em.

21
00:00:38,299 --> 00:00:39,996
Stay out of my garden.

22
00:00:59,102 --> 00:01:01,148
So, this is our midterm
development meeting

23
00:01:01,148 --> 00:01:03,759
where we explore benchmarks for
the second half of the year.

24
00:01:03,759 --> 00:01:05,456
We love these.

25
00:01:05,456 --> 00:01:07,110
They remind you that
even though it feels

26
00:01:07,110 --> 00:01:09,025
like it's almost time
for summer break,

27
00:01:09,025 --> 00:01:11,462
the school year
isn't even close to over.

28
00:01:11,462 --> 00:01:13,508
So that's the school district's
requirements.

29
00:01:13,508 --> 00:01:15,597
Now, hurry up and talk
about your individual
goals or whatever.

30
00:01:15,597 --> 00:01:17,642
This is cutting into
my pre-happy hour hour.

31
00:01:17,642 --> 00:01:18,991
Uh, I have an entire week

32
00:01:18,991 --> 00:01:20,689
dedicate to
the historical terrors

33
00:01:20,689 --> 00:01:22,778
of Thanksgiving
for the indigenous people,

34
00:01:22,778 --> 00:01:24,780
followed by a screening
of the seminal film--

35
00:01:24,780 --> 00:01:26,521
"Soul Food"?
You know it.

36
00:01:26,521 --> 00:01:28,349
♪ Mama ♪ Mama

37
00:01:28,349 --> 00:01:30,046
Well, I love the holidays,

38
00:01:30,046 --> 00:01:31,874
and this year Barbara Howard's
Little Helpers

39
00:01:31,874 --> 00:01:35,138
will be making the most adorable
handprint Christmas trees.

40
00:01:35,138 --> 00:01:37,880
And my kids will be doing
hand turkey art,

41
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,622
and I'll be recycling it
to soak up all the snow

42
00:01:40,622 --> 00:01:42,319
that gets through
the cracks in the windows.

43
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:43,973
Children's hands really seem
to carry the holidays.

44
00:01:43,973 --> 00:01:45,453
Yeah, they do.
It's crazy.

45
00:01:45,453 --> 00:01:47,019
Uh, my eighth grade students
and I will need the gym

46
00:01:47,019 --> 00:01:49,065
and a safety ladder
next week.

47
00:01:49,065 --> 00:01:50,284
For a dunk contest?

48
00:01:50,284 --> 00:01:51,894
No.

49
00:01:51,894 --> 00:01:53,287
We'll be doing
the egg drop.

50
00:01:53,287 --> 00:01:54,984
Appreciate it if everyone
can bring any eggs

51
00:01:54,984 --> 00:01:56,464
that they can spare.

52
00:01:56,464 --> 00:01:57,900
Good. 'Cause we're low
on eggs in the lounge,

53
00:01:57,900 --> 00:01:59,554
and my doctor says
I need some omega-3s.

54
00:01:59,554 --> 00:02:02,383
That sounds like a great
opportunity to be creative.

55
00:02:02,383 --> 00:02:04,907
I always wanted to do one
of those when I was a kid.

56
00:02:04,907 --> 00:02:06,691
Maybe my second graders
can participate.

57
00:02:06,691 --> 00:02:08,084
Here we go.

58
00:02:08,084 --> 00:02:09,390
Oh, I mean,
I know my kids

59
00:02:09,390 --> 00:02:11,566
won't be as good as yours,
of course,

60
00:02:11,566 --> 00:02:13,437
but I just think it sounds
like fun for the kids.

61
00:02:13,437 --> 00:02:15,352
It's not fun, it's science.

62
00:02:15,352 --> 00:02:18,573
Well, maybe it can be both.

63
00:02:18,573 --> 00:02:20,923
I'm sure my kids are gonna have
a blast doing the egg drop.

64
00:02:20,923 --> 00:02:22,925
The egg drop is too advanced
for your students,

65
00:02:22,925 --> 00:02:25,145
but if you'd like them
to partake, it's your funeral.

66
00:02:26,407 --> 00:02:28,235
More like my fun-eral.

67
00:02:31,107 --> 00:02:32,500
Yeah.

68
00:02:32,500 --> 00:02:35,155
Here's Tamika's homework,
Ms. Howard.

69
00:02:38,114 --> 00:02:39,202
Thank you.
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

70
00:02:39,202 --> 00:02:40,943
You have a good one.

71
00:02:40,943 --> 00:02:42,249
Learn lots, boo!

72
00:02:43,250 --> 00:02:44,860
As a good Christian woman,

73
00:02:44,860 --> 00:02:49,560
I would never mark my body
with such an obscenity.

74
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,128
I don't even believe in saying
that word out loud.

75
00:02:52,128 --> 00:02:53,216
Ugh.

76
00:02:53,216 --> 00:02:55,262
My favorite "B" word?

77
00:02:55,262 --> 00:02:57,089
Barbara.

78
00:02:57,089 --> 00:02:58,874
Oh! Bible.

79
00:02:58,874 --> 00:03:01,572
Blessing.

80
00:03:01,572 --> 00:03:03,226
Blueberries.

81
00:03:05,228 --> 00:03:08,405
Okay, so I was promised
these are definitely not snakes.

82
00:03:08,405 --> 00:03:10,277
Oh,
that's good to know.

83
00:03:12,279 --> 00:03:14,019
This is part
of my recovery elixir.

84
00:03:15,195 --> 00:03:16,326
Strong like bull.

85
00:03:17,588 --> 00:03:18,633
Oh, good morning, y'all.

86
00:03:18,633 --> 00:03:20,417
Did you just get here?

87
00:03:20,417 --> 00:03:22,158
No.

88
00:03:22,158 --> 00:03:24,160
So, how much glitter would
you say your kids are using

89
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:25,466
on their egg drop
thingies?

90
00:03:25,466 --> 00:03:27,119
We never use glitter
on our <i>thingies,</i>

91
00:03:27,119 --> 00:03:28,295
because that
would add mass

92
00:03:28,295 --> 00:03:29,731
which would throw off
the equation.

93
00:03:29,731 --> 00:03:31,472
Okay, so maybe just
like a dash, then?

94
00:03:32,473 --> 00:03:33,691
Answer?

95
00:03:35,476 --> 00:03:37,173
Hello, Mr. Hill.

96
00:03:39,088 --> 00:03:40,916
The nerve of that guy.

97
00:03:40,916 --> 00:03:43,397
We've had a long-standing beef
ever since I got here.

98
00:03:43,397 --> 00:03:45,137
Really? It seems like
he's just polite to you.

99
00:03:45,137 --> 00:03:47,836
No, he's very
passive-aggressive.

100
00:03:47,836 --> 00:03:49,838
Don't even ask me why. Okay.

101
00:03:49,838 --> 00:03:51,840
You feel like the egg drop
is right for your kids?

102
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:53,929
I mean, it takes a fairly decent
understanding of physics.

103
00:03:53,929 --> 00:03:55,670
Yeah,
I'm sure it's right,

104
00:03:55,670 --> 00:03:58,629
because learning should be fun
and about new experiences,

105
00:03:58,629 --> 00:04:00,196
and not whether or not
the eggs break.

106
00:04:00,196 --> 00:04:02,329
It's actually only about
whether or not the eggs break.

107
00:04:02,329 --> 00:04:05,157
Oh, my God, you won't shut up
about this egg drop.

108
00:04:05,157 --> 00:04:07,029
And now your kids
told my kids.

109
00:04:07,029 --> 00:04:09,466
Now my kids are all excited,
so I gotta do it.

110
00:04:09,466 --> 00:04:12,513
And all these wasted eggs
when the Cowboys are in town.

111
00:04:12,513 --> 00:04:14,906
Now I gotta throw Molotov
cocktails at their bus.

112
00:04:18,693 --> 00:04:21,217
You guys are doing
a great job.

113
00:04:21,217 --> 00:04:23,045
These are so cute.

114
00:04:23,045 --> 00:04:26,048
Eli, I love how yours
has all those plastic straws.

115
00:04:26,048 --> 00:04:27,658
Watch out, turtles.

116
00:04:27,658 --> 00:04:29,530
Oh, and, Nia,
yours has a heart on it.

117
00:04:29,530 --> 00:04:32,010
That's so-- I can't wait to see
how these work, guys.

118
00:04:32,010 --> 00:04:34,056
I named my egg Ralph!

119
00:04:34,056 --> 00:04:36,493
I put a face on him
- and everything.
- Aww!

120
00:04:36,493 --> 00:04:39,670
Well, Ralph looks egg-cited
for the egg drop tomorrow.

121
00:04:39,670 --> 00:04:42,064
He's my best friend.

122
00:04:42,064 --> 00:04:43,892
My only friend.

123
00:04:43,892 --> 00:04:47,504
Oh, yeah, Eli is fine.
He's exaggerating.

124
00:04:47,504 --> 00:04:50,594
I've seen him talk to Nia
before, I think.

125
00:04:52,596 --> 00:04:53,902
Excuse me.

126
00:04:53,902 --> 00:04:55,251
I was just wondering if,
you know,

127
00:04:55,251 --> 00:04:57,079
when you are around
the children,

128
00:04:57,079 --> 00:04:58,907
if you might...

129
00:04:58,907 --> 00:05:01,083
cover up a bit.

130
00:05:01,083 --> 00:05:02,911
Oh, yeah, of course.

131
00:05:02,911 --> 00:05:04,434
Thank you.

132
00:05:05,522 --> 00:05:07,219
You have a good one.

133
00:05:07,219 --> 00:05:08,220
Ms. Howard.

134
00:05:08,220 --> 00:05:09,831
Yes?
What's S-L--

135
00:05:09,831 --> 00:05:11,528
It is, uh...

136
00:05:11,528 --> 00:05:15,663
the Saint Louis University
of Technology.

137
00:05:15,663 --> 00:05:17,665
And it is a very fine
university, yes, it is.

138
00:05:17,665 --> 00:05:19,144
Please, have a seat.

139
00:05:20,276 --> 00:05:22,713
How is a ladder
that tall even possible?

140
00:05:22,713 --> 00:05:24,889
'Cause of physics?

141
00:05:24,889 --> 00:05:26,369
The thing we're
kinda doing here?

142
00:05:26,369 --> 00:05:28,023
Mr. Morton:
And lastly, we have Omar's

143
00:05:28,023 --> 00:05:30,068
gravitational resistance mechanism,

144
00:05:30,068 --> 00:05:33,550
with a payload
of 58.7 grams.

145
00:05:33,550 --> 00:05:35,770
May Sir Isaac Newton
have mercy on your soul.

146
00:05:35,770 --> 00:05:37,815
Though, such a thing
does not exist.

147
00:05:44,387 --> 00:05:46,607
Well done, eighth graders.

148
00:05:46,607 --> 00:05:49,610
I have taught you
some serious science

149
00:05:49,610 --> 00:05:51,568
that will serve you
for the rest of your lives.

150
00:05:51,568 --> 00:05:54,049
And now, without further ado...

151
00:05:54,049 --> 00:05:55,920
the second graders.

152
00:05:58,096 --> 00:05:59,620
Hey! Thanks for coming
to support.

153
00:05:59,620 --> 00:06:01,273
Of course.

154
00:06:01,273 --> 00:06:02,492
Plus, I didn't want
to miss a chance

155
00:06:02,492 --> 00:06:04,146
to see Morton
with egg on his face.

156
00:06:04,146 --> 00:06:05,974
Look, kids, my esteemed
colleague, Mr. Hill,

157
00:06:05,974 --> 00:06:07,410
has joined us.

158
00:06:07,410 --> 00:06:10,544
Hmm, hmm.
Keep poking the bear, Morton.

159
00:06:10,544 --> 00:06:13,329
You know, I'm just gonna double
fist these so I'm done quicker.

160
00:06:13,329 --> 00:06:15,679
You got this,
Ms. Schemmenti!
Whoo!

161
00:06:33,218 --> 00:06:34,437
See what a little
can-do attitude

162
00:06:34,437 --> 00:06:36,352
and optimism can get you?

163
00:06:36,352 --> 00:06:37,353
Can't wait.

164
00:06:39,573 --> 00:06:42,140
Oh, good. I didn't miss
Stump-ty Dumpty's
turn at the top.

165
00:06:42,140 --> 00:06:44,142
Is it just me or is this ladder
getting much taller?

166
00:06:44,142 --> 00:06:45,361
Right?

167
00:06:45,361 --> 00:06:46,928
Somebody get me
some magic beans.

168
00:06:46,928 --> 00:06:48,495
You know, like
"Jack and the Beanstalk"?

169
00:06:48,495 --> 00:06:51,454
- Get it?
- Climb the ladder, Janine.

170
00:06:51,454 --> 00:06:53,935
All right, all right.
Just give me a minute.

171
00:06:53,935 --> 00:06:56,024
I don't to get the bends, Melissa.

172
00:06:56,024 --> 00:06:57,939
Okay, here we go.

173
00:06:57,939 --> 00:07:00,289
Going up the ladder.

174
00:07:00,289 --> 00:07:01,943
All right, yeah.

175
00:07:01,943 --> 00:07:04,336
Mr. Morton, is it necessary
to go to the top of it?

176
00:07:04,336 --> 00:07:05,642
It is? Okay.

177
00:07:06,904 --> 00:07:08,645
Can someone give me
a bigger basket?

178
00:07:08,645 --> 00:07:09,733
Okay.

179
00:07:12,344 --> 00:07:14,216
I should've done
a time lapse.

180
00:07:14,216 --> 00:07:16,392
We have made it to the top.

181
00:07:16,392 --> 00:07:17,524
Oh, my God.

182
00:07:17,524 --> 00:07:18,829
Okay. Here we go.

183
00:07:18,829 --> 00:07:20,091
First one!

184
00:07:21,049 --> 00:07:22,616
Oh.

185
00:07:22,616 --> 00:07:25,314
Oh, um... it's okay, Tre.

186
00:07:25,314 --> 00:07:27,316
That made a fun splat,
all right?

187
00:07:27,316 --> 00:07:28,535
Okay, next up.

188
00:07:28,535 --> 00:07:29,884
This is going great.

189
00:07:30,841 --> 00:07:32,756
Oh.

190
00:07:32,756 --> 00:07:34,236
But we're having a good time.

191
00:07:34,236 --> 00:07:35,846
Ooh, marshmallows!

192
00:07:36,673 --> 00:07:39,023
Sponges.

193
00:07:40,677 --> 00:07:42,766
This one's just an egg.

194
00:07:42,766 --> 00:07:44,115
Oh, no.

195
00:07:44,115 --> 00:07:45,682
All right, one more.

196
00:07:45,682 --> 00:07:46,683
This one's gonna make it.

197
00:07:48,032 --> 00:07:50,121
Two eggs, wow!

198
00:07:50,121 --> 00:07:51,949
Look away!

199
00:07:56,519 --> 00:07:57,781
No!

200
00:08:00,262 --> 00:08:02,046
Ralph?!

201
00:08:02,046 --> 00:08:04,179
He was my best friend!

202
00:08:04,179 --> 00:08:06,094
Someone get a Band-Aid!

203
00:08:09,445 --> 00:08:11,491
There's starving children
in America, Janine.

204
00:08:11,491 --> 00:08:12,883
It's okay!

205
00:08:12,883 --> 00:08:14,319
Even though
the eggs broke,

206
00:08:14,319 --> 00:08:16,887
you all did great
and were so creative.

207
00:08:16,887 --> 00:08:19,237
And, uh, look.
Look!

208
00:08:19,237 --> 00:08:20,456
I have these medals.

209
00:08:20,456 --> 00:08:22,893
And if you stop crying
long enough,

210
00:08:22,893 --> 00:08:24,460
I can put them on you.

211
00:08:24,460 --> 00:08:27,768
Because there are no winners
or losers here, right?

212
00:08:27,768 --> 00:08:29,596
Kids, science
is almost exclusively

213
00:08:29,596 --> 00:08:31,119
about winner and losers.

214
00:08:31,119 --> 00:08:33,338
It's okay, Ralph.
You just have to believe.

215
00:08:34,296 --> 00:08:35,602
You may want to have
that children checked out

216
00:08:35,602 --> 00:08:38,039
for salmonella.

217
00:08:40,737 --> 00:08:42,086
Um, hello?

218
00:08:42,086 --> 00:08:43,348
What are you,
some kind of mad scientist?

219
00:08:43,348 --> 00:08:44,959
How did none of
your eggs break?

220
00:08:44,959 --> 00:08:46,961
Easy. I cheated.

221
00:08:46,961 --> 00:08:50,268
Just hard-boiled a bunch
of eggs and, boom, happy class.

222
00:08:50,268 --> 00:08:52,357
And you're proud of that?

223
00:08:52,357 --> 00:08:54,882
Are you proud of having a class
full of crying second graders?

224
00:08:54,882 --> 00:08:57,624
Look, I'd love to teach
my class quantum mechanics.

225
00:08:57,624 --> 00:08:59,495
It's my secret weapon
at the craps table,

226
00:08:59,495 --> 00:09:02,106
but second graders
can't understand it, Janine.

227
00:09:02,106 --> 00:09:04,152
Well, look,
now my kids feel awful,

228
00:09:04,152 --> 00:09:07,111
and they need to have
a successful egg drop
to feel better.

229
00:09:07,111 --> 00:09:09,549
Or maybe there's
a sale on gold stars.

230
00:09:09,549 --> 00:09:12,290
Well, they feel bad because
they failed, but that's science.

231
00:09:12,290 --> 00:09:14,728
Yeah, but it doesn't
- have to be.
- It literally does.

232
00:09:14,728 --> 00:09:16,164
It's part of
the scientific method.

233
00:09:16,164 --> 00:09:18,296
I don't like science--
too many laws.

234
00:09:18,296 --> 00:09:20,385
And who's the judge?
God?

235
00:09:20,385 --> 00:09:23,650
If you think about it, science
is just history plus math.

236
00:09:23,650 --> 00:09:25,303
That's not at all correct.

237
00:09:25,303 --> 00:09:26,827
Y'all seen that movie
"Pacific Rim,"

238
00:09:26,827 --> 00:09:28,568
where Idris Elba
fights the Kaiju?

239
00:09:28,568 --> 00:09:29,830
Now that's science.

240
00:09:29,830 --> 00:09:31,614
You know what's iffy, though?
Pigeons.

241
00:09:31,614 --> 00:09:33,660
- Wait.
- While we're here,

242
00:09:33,660 --> 00:09:35,749
I'm not sure I believe
the moon landing happened.

243
00:09:35,749 --> 00:09:37,054
I don't believe
in the moon.

244
00:09:37,054 --> 00:09:38,447
I believe that
gluten intolerance

245
00:09:38,447 --> 00:09:40,188
is just internalized
White guilt.

246
00:09:40,188 --> 00:09:42,320
- Gluten isn't real!
- Stevie Wonder ain't blind.

247
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,932
You know, Bill Gates--Enough!

248
00:09:44,932 --> 00:09:47,630
Science
is factual and real,

249
00:09:47,630 --> 00:09:49,501
and failure is a part
of the scientific method.

250
00:09:49,501 --> 00:09:50,807
So congratulations, Janine,

251
00:09:50,807 --> 00:09:52,983
you just mastered
the first part.

252
00:09:52,983 --> 00:09:54,637
Now, have you run
your error analysis yet?

253
00:09:54,637 --> 00:09:57,640
Oh, yes, my error analysis
is that we will never give up.

254
00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,990
We believe in ourselves,
and we know we can do it.

255
00:09:59,990 --> 00:10:01,775
So... no.

256
00:10:01,775 --> 00:10:04,821
Um, Janine, do you understand
the science behind the egg drop?

257
00:10:06,693 --> 00:10:08,782
Look, if you want your kids
to really get this,

258
00:10:08,782 --> 00:10:10,697
then <i>you're</i> gonna
have to get it.

259
00:10:10,697 --> 00:10:13,221
I used
to love the egg drop.

260
00:10:13,221 --> 00:10:17,486
Look, Amber cancelled on me
for tonight, so if you want...

261
00:10:17,486 --> 00:10:19,009
I can walk you through it.

262
00:10:19,009 --> 00:10:21,577
Thanks, Gregory.
That'd be great, actually.

263
00:10:21,577 --> 00:10:24,232
I bet you believe dinosaurs
really went extinct.

264
00:10:27,365 --> 00:10:28,845
The parent of
one of my students

265
00:10:28,845 --> 00:10:32,675
has a very unsavory marking
across her bosom.

266
00:10:32,675 --> 00:10:34,155
The mom with
the "Bitch" tattoo?

267
00:10:34,155 --> 00:10:35,852
Loved that book.
Movie was meh.

268
00:10:35,852 --> 00:10:38,855
And even after I gently
asked her to cover up,

269
00:10:38,855 --> 00:10:41,902
she came back with a sweater
that was even worse!

270
00:10:41,902 --> 00:10:43,686
Oh, yeah, you gotta do
something about her.

271
00:10:43,686 --> 00:10:44,948
I agree.

272
00:10:44,948 --> 00:10:46,341
Uh, I just want to
chime in and say

273
00:10:46,341 --> 00:10:48,082
I'm gonna sit
this one out.

274
00:10:48,082 --> 00:10:50,954
I think my role here is best
as an active listener.

275
00:10:50,954 --> 00:10:53,914
Although, I will say, the
reclamation of the word "bi--"

276
00:10:53,914 --> 00:10:55,393
Ava, I'm surprised.

277
00:10:55,393 --> 00:10:57,047
You actually have
a problem with this?

278
00:10:57,047 --> 00:10:59,615
Sure do, but it's about
placement not the content.

279
00:10:59,615 --> 00:11:01,225
The clavicle is such
a powerful bone.

280
00:11:01,225 --> 00:11:02,792
Why take attention
away from it?

281
00:11:02,792 --> 00:11:04,968
Keep the tattoos to the tatas.
That's hot.

282
00:11:04,968 --> 00:11:07,710
How could anyone find this
tata tattoo hot?

283
00:11:07,710 --> 00:11:09,233
Much less appropriate?

284
00:11:09,233 --> 00:11:10,626
Well, it's a generational
thing, Barb.

285
00:11:10,626 --> 00:11:12,454
Women her age grew up
with Lil' Kim,

286
00:11:12,454 --> 00:11:14,021
- Foxy Brown, and Eve.
- Mm-hmm.

287
00:11:14,021 --> 00:11:16,240
And I grew up
with Adam and Eve.

288
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:20,114
And maybe all this young woman
needs is a little guidance.

289
00:11:20,114 --> 00:11:21,593
Heh.

290
00:11:21,593 --> 00:11:23,552
Barb wouldn't be offended
by my tattoos,

291
00:11:23,552 --> 00:11:25,206
unless she speaks Mandarin.

292
00:11:25,206 --> 00:11:26,990
Chinese people
hate my tattoos.

293
00:11:29,297 --> 00:11:30,820
To understand the egg drop,

294
00:11:30,820 --> 00:11:32,256
you have to understand
some scientific principles

295
00:11:32,256 --> 00:11:33,605
that are fairly complex
for a second grader.

296
00:11:33,605 --> 00:11:35,259
I believe
in my second graders.

297
00:11:35,259 --> 00:11:36,478
And I want to show them

298
00:11:36,478 --> 00:11:38,088
that if they believe
in themselves,

299
00:11:38,088 --> 00:11:39,524
they can do anything.

300
00:11:40,961 --> 00:11:42,266
I appreciate the optimism,

301
00:11:42,266 --> 00:11:44,616
but you can't just
positive-attitude

302
00:11:44,616 --> 00:11:45,966
your way through physics.

303
00:11:45,966 --> 00:11:47,881
Well, I beg to differ.

304
00:11:51,362 --> 00:11:53,800
Can you touch my hand?
What?

305
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,063
If you believe in yourself
enough, can you touch my hand?

306
00:12:03,505 --> 00:12:05,289
As I was saying--No, wait, hold on.

307
00:12:05,289 --> 00:12:06,943
Because

308
00:12:06,943 --> 00:12:09,641
if I were to just,
you know, gra--

309
00:12:09,641 --> 00:12:10,773
- Oh. Oh, oh, aah.
- Oh!

310
00:12:11,861 --> 00:12:12,993
Come on.

311
00:12:14,821 --> 00:12:16,866
See, this is why science
shouldn't be taught in schools.

312
00:12:18,955 --> 00:12:20,914
I feel like this is about
something else.

313
00:12:20,914 --> 00:12:23,177
Look, this may come
as a surprise,

314
00:12:23,177 --> 00:12:24,613
but...

315
00:12:24,613 --> 00:12:27,485
I've never been good
at not getting things.

316
00:12:27,485 --> 00:12:28,965
You don't say.

317
00:12:28,965 --> 00:12:30,967
Normally, I'm able to
come into anything

318
00:12:30,967 --> 00:12:33,361
with a positive mindset
and succeed.

319
00:12:33,361 --> 00:12:35,711
Failure is what propels
science forward.

320
00:12:35,711 --> 00:12:37,800
If you can't
accept failure,

321
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,802
then you can never
learn from it.

322
00:12:39,802 --> 00:12:42,326
"If you
can't accept failure,
then you can never--"

323
00:12:42,326 --> 00:12:43,980
I don't sound
like that, Janine.

324
00:12:43,980 --> 00:12:45,416
My voice is quite deep.

325
00:12:45,416 --> 00:12:47,027
Now, if we can get back
to the egg drop.

326
00:12:53,163 --> 00:12:55,035
When I was little, I could
never keep my shoes tied,

327
00:12:55,035 --> 00:12:57,341
and people loved
to make fun of that.

328
00:12:57,341 --> 00:12:59,996
But then I got Velcro shoes,
and they made fun of that, too.

329
00:12:59,996 --> 00:13:01,476
But here's what I learned
about failure--

330
00:13:01,476 --> 00:13:04,609
It sucks and I don't want
my kids to feel it.

331
00:13:04,609 --> 00:13:06,742
Time to get them
some Velcro shoes.

332
00:13:06,742 --> 00:13:07,961
Good to see you.

333
00:13:07,961 --> 00:13:09,527
Hi, baby.

334
00:13:09,527 --> 00:13:10,833
Well, how 'bout that?

335
00:13:10,833 --> 00:13:12,487
So nice to run into you.

336
00:13:12,487 --> 00:13:14,576
You work here, that's a very
predictable scenario.

337
00:13:14,576 --> 00:13:16,534
Yes, but I'm just glad
to have your ear,

338
00:13:16,534 --> 00:13:19,450
because I came across
some information

339
00:13:19,450 --> 00:13:22,845
about a support group
for single mothers.

340
00:13:24,151 --> 00:13:26,370
Okay, well, um...

341
00:13:26,370 --> 00:13:28,764
if Tamika's dad,
my husband...

342
00:13:29,765 --> 00:13:32,855
...of six years,
just so happens to die,

343
00:13:32,855 --> 00:13:34,161
I promise
I'll check it out.

344
00:13:34,161 --> 00:13:37,077
And if you want
some nice clothes,

345
00:13:37,077 --> 00:13:39,166
my daughter's friend, Mallory,

346
00:13:39,166 --> 00:13:43,257
does this monthly clothes swap
for young professionals.

347
00:13:43,257 --> 00:13:46,390
Lots of
expletive-free attire.

348
00:13:46,390 --> 00:13:47,914
Well, I see
what's happening here.

349
00:13:47,914 --> 00:13:49,567
You think you know me,
Miss Lady?

350
00:13:49,567 --> 00:13:51,047
But you don't.

351
00:13:51,047 --> 00:13:53,093
I am not going to trade
first-run items

352
00:13:53,093 --> 00:13:54,746
from <i>my</i> clothing line

353
00:13:54,746 --> 00:13:58,011
with a bunch of diversity,
equity, and inclusion officers.

354
00:13:58,011 --> 00:13:59,577
I did not mean
to upset you.

355
00:13:59,577 --> 00:14:01,971
You can never upset a
professional bitch like myself.

356
00:14:01,971 --> 00:14:04,887
Now you have a wonderful
rest of your day...

357
00:14:04,887 --> 00:14:06,541
Miss Ma'am.

358
00:14:06,541 --> 00:14:07,759
It's Mrs. Howard.

359
00:14:07,759 --> 00:14:09,674
Oh, I know who you are.

360
00:14:11,415 --> 00:14:13,635
Keep painting, kids, okay?

361
00:14:13,635 --> 00:14:14,810
Keep painting.

362
00:14:14,810 --> 00:14:16,290
These are tough as nails now,

363
00:14:16,290 --> 00:14:18,335
so they need to look
really pretty, too.

364
00:14:18,335 --> 00:14:21,077
I finally have my head
wrapped around the egg drop.

365
00:14:21,077 --> 00:14:23,079
It only took Gregory
walking me through it

366
00:14:23,079 --> 00:14:24,776
and then three hours
of YouTube videos

367
00:14:24,776 --> 00:14:26,213
when I still didn't get it.

368
00:14:26,213 --> 00:14:28,258
I've helped my kids
rebuild their egg drops,

369
00:14:28,258 --> 00:14:30,391
and my hypothesis is...

370
00:14:30,391 --> 00:14:32,045
we're going to succeed!

371
00:14:34,961 --> 00:14:37,267
Mr. Morton,
what a surprise.

372
00:14:37,267 --> 00:14:38,921
What makes you drop by?

373
00:14:38,921 --> 00:14:40,662
You took all my scales.

374
00:14:40,662 --> 00:14:42,577
What a great observation.

375
00:14:42,577 --> 00:14:45,710
I hypothesized that taking your
scales would get you down here.

376
00:14:45,710 --> 00:14:47,930
Cause, effect, science.

377
00:14:47,930 --> 00:14:51,629
My students and I are building
new egg drop contraptions.

378
00:14:51,629 --> 00:14:53,240
I now know the science
behind it,

379
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,286
therefore my kids and I
are ready to prove

380
00:14:56,286 --> 00:14:57,940
that we can do anything.

381
00:14:57,940 --> 00:14:59,463
So, I'd like
to kindly request

382
00:14:59,463 --> 00:15:01,030
that you put on
another egg drop event.

383
00:15:01,030 --> 00:15:02,945
Miss Teagues, I have
an eighth grade curriculum

384
00:15:02,945 --> 00:15:05,165
to keep up with,
so no more egg drop.

385
00:15:05,165 --> 00:15:06,601
- We've moved on.
- Wha--

386
00:15:06,601 --> 00:15:08,211
So, no--

387
00:15:08,211 --> 00:15:10,822
What am I supposed
- to tell my kids?
- Not my problem.

388
00:15:10,822 --> 00:15:12,215
If you're looking for
something more their speed,

389
00:15:12,215 --> 00:15:13,825
why don't you teach them
how to tie their shoes?

390
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,485
I want to fight you.

391
00:15:25,272 --> 00:15:26,534
Jacob is right.

392
00:15:26,534 --> 00:15:28,492
That Mr. Morton's
got a real attitude.

393
00:15:28,492 --> 00:15:30,103
He will not put on
another egg drop event.

394
00:15:30,103 --> 00:15:32,279
You know you can do an egg drop
event without him, right?

395
00:15:32,279 --> 00:15:33,628
That's not the point.

396
00:15:33,628 --> 00:15:35,543
Look, I've faced
so many Mr. Mortons

397
00:15:35,543 --> 00:15:37,893
and there are so many
Mr. Mortons in this world,

398
00:15:37,893 --> 00:15:40,243
and I want my kids
to face them now.

399
00:15:40,243 --> 00:15:42,550
And I want to shield them
with the best defense--

400
00:15:42,550 --> 00:15:44,987
positivity.

401
00:15:44,987 --> 00:15:47,729
Janine, your kids
are lucky to have a teacher

402
00:15:47,729 --> 00:15:49,426
who believes in them
as much as you do.

403
00:15:49,426 --> 00:15:54,475
But maybe sometimes, possibly,
you could come at it with, like,

404
00:15:54,475 --> 00:15:57,130
so much positivity
that it's...

405
00:15:57,130 --> 00:15:58,435
toxic.

406
00:16:00,089 --> 00:16:03,092
Mr. Morton's science
is just too advanced for them.

407
00:16:03,092 --> 00:16:04,528
Those are the facts.

408
00:16:05,399 --> 00:16:07,314
Ugh! I know.

409
00:16:07,314 --> 00:16:09,011
I spiraled.

410
00:16:09,011 --> 00:16:11,883
Happens to all of us, but
it happens to you a lot, huh?

411
00:16:11,883 --> 00:16:15,017
So now I have to tell
my kids that I messed up

412
00:16:15,017 --> 00:16:19,543
and that they can't do anything
they put their minds to?

413
00:16:19,543 --> 00:16:22,764
It's the truth,
and the truth is science.

414
00:16:22,764 --> 00:16:24,548
Isn't it our job
to tell them the truth?

415
00:16:25,985 --> 00:16:27,682
That was, like,
a serious question.

416
00:16:27,682 --> 00:16:29,249
I-I haven't been here very long,
I don't know the answer to that.

417
00:16:29,249 --> 00:16:30,380
Should I be lying more?

418
00:16:31,642 --> 00:16:33,122
Oh!

419
00:16:35,907 --> 00:16:37,866
Looking to refresh
your wardrobe, Barb?

420
00:16:37,866 --> 00:16:40,129
That stuff is hot, but a little
flashier than I pegged you for.

421
00:16:40,129 --> 00:16:43,045
This is Tamika's mother's
clothing line.

422
00:16:43,045 --> 00:16:45,308
And it is worse
than I expected.

423
00:16:45,308 --> 00:16:47,267
I'm--
T-There are cuss words here

424
00:16:47,267 --> 00:16:49,660
I didn't even know existed.

425
00:16:49,660 --> 00:16:51,227
Well, dang, if this
is worrying you so much

426
00:16:51,227 --> 00:16:52,576
that you're spending
your free time

427
00:16:52,576 --> 00:16:53,925
cyberstalking
this lady's store,

428
00:16:53,925 --> 00:16:55,231
you must really have
a problem with her.

429
00:16:56,711 --> 00:16:58,974
Do you think this child
is in danger?
No.

430
00:16:58,974 --> 00:17:00,802
Okay, well, how's Tamika's
grades and attendance?

431
00:17:00,802 --> 00:17:02,412
Stellar.

432
00:17:02,412 --> 00:17:03,805
Okay, then what's
the real problem?

433
00:17:03,805 --> 00:17:05,546
'Cause I'm not hearing
anything to worry about.

434
00:17:06,895 --> 00:17:08,505
Okay, I admit it.

435
00:17:08,505 --> 00:17:10,159
I misjudged her
when I confronted her,

436
00:17:10,159 --> 00:17:13,858
but I just don't understand
why a grown woman,

437
00:17:13,858 --> 00:17:17,558
a mother,
would act like this.

438
00:17:17,558 --> 00:17:19,995
Okay, well,
let me ask you this--

439
00:17:19,995 --> 00:17:21,518
do you need to?

440
00:17:24,130 --> 00:17:25,827
Uh, before you finish
that order,

441
00:17:25,827 --> 00:17:27,437
throw in a pair of those
"Whore" leggings.

442
00:17:27,437 --> 00:17:29,135
I gotta gala next week.

443
00:17:35,228 --> 00:17:37,099
Are we getting balloons
because we're great?

444
00:17:37,099 --> 00:17:39,797
Well, you are great,
but these are actually

445
00:17:39,797 --> 00:17:42,061
for an age-appropriate
science lesson.

446
00:17:43,236 --> 00:17:45,629
Please no more science,
Miss Teagues.

447
00:17:45,629 --> 00:17:47,675
Can those lift me in the air?

448
00:17:47,675 --> 00:17:49,372
If you believe hard enough,
they can.

449
00:17:49,372 --> 00:17:52,375
Well, that actually
isn't true.

450
00:17:52,375 --> 00:17:54,595
But we're going to
learn about why.

451
00:17:54,595 --> 00:17:56,075
Just give them to us.

452
00:17:56,075 --> 00:17:57,772
No!

453
00:17:57,772 --> 00:17:59,382
We're doing this.

454
00:17:59,382 --> 00:18:02,385
Thank you, Ayesha.

455
00:18:02,385 --> 00:18:06,259
Oh, Tamika, you did
a wonderful job!

456
00:18:06,259 --> 00:18:08,130
Thank you.
My mom taught me.

457
00:18:08,130 --> 00:18:10,611
She said it's important
to know about flowers

458
00:18:10,611 --> 00:18:13,092
so you can tell when a man
gets you cheap ones.

459
00:18:14,397 --> 00:18:16,443
Okay, thank you.

460
00:18:16,443 --> 00:18:17,618
All right.

461
00:18:17,618 --> 00:18:19,010
Let's get ourselves ready.

462
00:18:19,010 --> 00:18:20,447
Thank you.

463
00:18:20,447 --> 00:18:21,665
Get your stuff.

464
00:18:21,665 --> 00:18:23,014
Uh, e-excuse me.

465
00:18:23,014 --> 00:18:24,320
I just wanted
to let you know

466
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,149
that Tamika's work
was so well done.

467
00:18:27,149 --> 00:18:29,717
I thank you for putting
in the extra effort.

468
00:18:31,849 --> 00:18:33,373
And I want to apologize.

469
00:18:35,636 --> 00:18:39,683
I am sorry for the assumptions
that I made about your character

470
00:18:39,683 --> 00:18:41,946
when you have been
showing me all year long

471
00:18:41,946 --> 00:18:43,644
the type of parent
you are.

472
00:18:45,776 --> 00:18:47,474
It's not the first time
this has happened to me.

473
00:18:47,474 --> 00:18:49,302
People are quick to judge, but...

474
00:18:49,302 --> 00:18:52,000
that's part of the thinking
behind my apparel line.

475
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:53,915
You see, one day soon
when people hear

476
00:18:53,915 --> 00:18:56,135
"Forever Bitch Apparel,"

477
00:18:56,135 --> 00:18:59,094
they're gonna think
about locally made,

478
00:18:59,094 --> 00:19:01,749
Black-owned, and sustainable
business practices.

479
00:19:01,749 --> 00:19:05,361
And that is something
that I would love to support.

480
00:19:05,361 --> 00:19:07,015
Really?

481
00:19:07,015 --> 00:19:08,973
And, you know, sometimes
I do get a little busy

482
00:19:08,973 --> 00:19:11,062
and I forget that Forever Bitch
isn't for the kids.

483
00:19:11,062 --> 00:19:13,456
So I'll be sure to wear
PG-rated clothing from now on

484
00:19:13,456 --> 00:19:14,718
when I pick Tamika up.

485
00:19:14,718 --> 00:19:17,068
- Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.

486
00:19:17,068 --> 00:19:19,636
And that's a--
a lovely...

487
00:19:21,290 --> 00:19:22,813
...mouth accessory.

488
00:19:22,813 --> 00:19:26,208
I-Is that from your line, Forever...

489
00:19:26,208 --> 00:19:28,210
Yeah, yeah, look,
get a little closer.

490
00:19:28,210 --> 00:19:30,343
Check out the quality
of this engraving.

491
00:19:30,343 --> 00:19:32,475
Like, Mrs. Howard.

492
00:19:37,132 --> 00:19:38,829
Three helium balloons
was not enough.

493
00:19:38,829 --> 00:19:41,005
We failed.
But what did we learn?

494
00:19:41,005 --> 00:19:42,746
That we need
more balloons?

495
00:19:42,746 --> 00:19:45,227
Right, because balloons
can only hold

496
00:19:45,227 --> 00:19:46,794
a certain amount of...

497
00:19:46,794 --> 00:19:49,013
- Mass!
- That's right.

498
00:19:49,013 --> 00:19:50,667
- I'm impressed.
- Yeah?

499
00:19:50,667 --> 00:19:54,193
Well, I realized that
the egg drop was too advanced,

500
00:19:54,193 --> 00:19:57,587
but then I decided to experiment
with another special project--

501
00:19:57,587 --> 00:19:59,328
the egg lift.

502
00:19:59,328 --> 00:20:01,765
And it involves something
they like already-- balloons.

503
00:20:01,765 --> 00:20:03,376
All right, release!

504
00:20:04,812 --> 00:20:08,076
Mr. Morton, ah,
how nice of you to be here.

505
00:20:08,076 --> 00:20:10,252
- Hello.
- You took my helium tank.

506
00:20:10,252 --> 00:20:12,341
I did, and that's because
I wanted you to see us learn

507
00:20:12,341 --> 00:20:13,690
all about--

508
00:20:17,172 --> 00:20:18,956
Oh, no.

509
00:20:24,701 --> 00:20:26,225
Not Ralph Jr.!

510
00:20:27,487 --> 00:20:28,531
Oh.

511
00:20:28,531 --> 00:20:30,272
Um, uh, science!

512
00:20:30,272 --> 00:20:31,621
Science!

513
00:20:31,621 --> 00:20:33,188
Yes!

514
00:20:33,188 --> 00:20:36,278
Oh, did we egg-ceed
your egg-spectations?

515
00:20:36,278 --> 00:20:37,801
Egg.

516
00:20:37,801 --> 00:20:39,238
Oh, and you have
a little something right...

517
00:20:41,196 --> 00:20:43,242
...there.
Yep, mm-hmm.

518
00:20:46,506 --> 00:20:48,072
Well, and then I said
the gaming industry is a bil--

519
00:20:48,072 --> 00:20:49,900
is billions,
like, not millions,

520
00:20:49,900 --> 00:20:51,293
like, billions of dollars,
which means that--Mr. Hill,

521
00:20:51,293 --> 00:20:52,555
do you need any help
carrying those to your car?

522
00:20:52,555 --> 00:20:55,036
No, no, thank you.
I am fine.

523
00:20:55,036 --> 00:20:56,690
You have a restful night
and a pleasant weekend.

524
00:20:58,169 --> 00:20:59,519
Yep! You, too!

525
00:20:59,519 --> 00:21:01,085
See?
What is that guy's deal?

526
00:21:01,085 --> 00:21:02,739
That guy
really gets my goat.

527
00:21:02,739 --> 00:21:04,306
I don't know
what that means,

528
00:21:04,306 --> 00:21:05,612
but that man is nothing
but nice to you, okay?

529
00:21:05,612 --> 00:21:07,657
This is all in your head.

530
00:21:07,657 --> 00:21:09,093
"Have a pleasant weekend."

531
00:21:09,093 --> 00:21:10,530
Stop.

532
00:21:10,530 --> 00:21:11,705
He doesn't sound like that.

533
00:21:11,705 --> 00:21:13,837
I--
Nobody sounds like that.

534
00:21:15,230 --> 00:21:16,666
What's wrong with you?

535
00:21:16,666 --> 00:21:19,147
Nothing.
It's been a long week.

536
00:21:19,147 --> 00:21:20,583
Geez.

537
00:21:20,583 --> 00:21:22,150
Oh, Jacob Hill?
Hate him.

538
00:21:22,150 --> 00:21:24,152
Always have, always will.
