and I know that was too much.

519
00:19:21,410 --> 00:19:23,013
It's a very small cup of coffee.

520
00:19:23,037 --> 00:19:24,931
That's not even close,
and I can say whatever I want

521
00:19:24,955 --> 00:19:26,290
to my stupid sister.

522
00:19:27,625 --> 00:19:30,562
Sister? As in the woman
that works at the other school?

523
00:19:30,586 --> 00:19:32,606
You have the same mom?
Y-Your sister?

524
00:19:32,630 --> 00:19:34,524
Yeah, yeah, good, you know
what having a sister means.

525
00:19:34,548 --> 00:19:37,152
Glad you're making good use
of that Penn education.

526
00:19:37,176 --> 00:19:40,489
Wait... And, no, I'm not
saying another word about this.

527
00:19:40,513 --> 00:19:44,326
Well, um, hey,
you got to hand it to Ava.

528
00:19:44,350 --> 00:19:46,119
This is... This
is a blast. Yeah.

529
00:19:46,143 --> 00:19:49,831
And it is so good that the kids
can feel special today.

530
00:19:49,855 --> 00:19:52,668
Oh, are you saying
that I was right, Barbara?

531
00:19:52,692 --> 00:19:54,485
Uh... no.

532
00:19:56,654 --> 00:19:58,674
[ Sighs ] Oh, this is so fun.

533
00:19:58,698 --> 00:20:01,385
Yeah. I just wish
Gregory could enjoy it.

534
00:20:01,409 --> 00:20:02,552
What's wrong with Gregory?

535
00:20:02,576 --> 00:20:04,805
Well, you didn't
hear it from me,

536
00:20:04,829 --> 00:20:07,623
but I think he and Taylor
are on the outs.

537
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:12,354
That's too bad.

538
00:20:12,378 --> 00:20:13,504
Yeah.

539
00:20:15,297 --> 00:20:18,300
Hey, Devin,
can I get a piña colada?

540
00:20:23,681 --> 00:20:25,742
Hey. Hey.

541
00:20:25,766 --> 00:20:27,577
You okay?

542
00:20:27,601 --> 00:20:28,394
I will be.

543
00:20:31,814 --> 00:20:32,999
Thank you.

544
00:20:33,023 --> 00:20:35,127
You are so welcome.

545
00:20:35,151 --> 00:20:36,586
You're all welcome!

546
00:20:36,610 --> 00:20:38,213
I really killed that today.

547
00:20:38,237 --> 00:20:41,216
Kids happy, Janine quiet,
Gregory fine.

548
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,051
I feel like I got
a real knack for this,

549
00:20:43,075 --> 00:20:46,221
like I could be president
or maybe even mayor of a school.

550
00:20:46,245 --> 00:20:47,455
What would you call that?

551
00:20:49,957 --> 00:20:51,935
How's that petering out going?

552
00:20:51,959 --> 00:20:55,689
Well, it turns out that Taylor
was actually petering out on me.

553
00:20:55,713 --> 00:20:58,483
Whoa, she petered?

554
00:20:58,507 --> 00:20:59,860
That's amazing.

555
00:20:59,884 --> 00:21:01,486
How is that amazing?

556
00:21:01,510 --> 00:21:03,697
Because, man, that's what
people used to do to me.

557
00:21:03,721 --> 00:21:06,491
Huh? Just one more thing
we have in common.

558
00:21:06,515 --> 00:21:07,701
Don't take it so hard.

559
00:21:07,725 --> 00:21:09,369
Everybody gets dumped.

560
00:21:09,393 --> 00:21:10,912
If it can happen
to Michael B. Jordan,

561
00:21:10,936 --> 00:21:12,414
it can happen to you.

562
00:21:12,438 --> 00:21:15,041
Now, that white boy
sure can act.

563
00:21:15,065 --> 00:21:19,570
Ooh! I love those
"Back to the Future" movies.

564
00:21:21,405 --> 00:21:22,758
Together: Michael J. Fox.

565
00:21:22,782 --> 00:21:24,033
Hmm?
