so that everyone feels included.

175

I try to implement
a lot of color.

176
00:06:43,445 --> 00:06:45,947
Wanted to go with blue
because that inspires focus.

177
00:06:45,947 --> 00:06:48,158
And calm, which is so important
for primary classes.

178
00:06:48,158 --> 00:06:50,118

Anyway, I wanted to paint
the walls blue last year,

190

but you guys... the district...

191
00:07:12,098 --> 00:07:14,017
didn't like the idea
of painting walls, so...

192
00:07:14,017 --> 00:07:15,769
What?! Why not? That is so good.

193
00:07:15,769 --> 00:07:17,395
I think that's exactly an idea

194
00:07:17,395 --> 00:07:19,147
that we could
and should implement.

I learned that communal seating

207

you brought in taught me

1035
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:40,146
how to use borage as a cover
crop to improve the soil.

1036
00:40:40,146 --> 00:40:42,732
We're about to have some of
the richest radishes in Philly.

1037
00:40:44,484 --> 00:40:47,070
I'm sorry. You...
You just are the only person

1038
00:40:47,070 --> 00:40:49,447
I know that gets this excited
about radishes.

1039
00:40:49,447 --> 00:40:51,074
Well, it's one of
the only foods that I love.

1040
00:40:51,074 --> 00:40:52,283
It's dry, bitter. Bitter, yeah.

1041
00:40:52,283 --> 00:40:53,660
It's, like, perfect.

1042
00:40:53,660 --> 00:40:54,869
Yeah, I know. [ Laughs ]

1043
00:40:54,869 --> 00:40:56,037
Your fave.

1044
00:40:57,497 --> 00:40:58,790
I miss this.

1045
00:41:00,333 --> 00:41:03,086
Just chatting about our days.

1046
00:41:03,086 --> 00:41:04,420
It's...

1047
00:41:04,420 --> 00:41:08,132
Oh, my God. Me too. So much.

1048
00:41:08,132 --> 00:41:10,134
Like, anytime
anything happens here,

1049
00:41:10,134 --> 00:41:11,511
I want to tell you about it.

1050
00:41:11,511 --> 00:41:12,887
Really? Yes!

1051
00:41:12,887 --> 00:41:14,722
Like, earlier with
Melissa and Gary? Yeah.

1052
00:41:14,722 --> 00:41:16,808
She said no to him
in front of the Eagles?

1053
00:41:16,808 --> 00:41:18,768
I just wanted to tell you
immediately.

1054
00:41:18,768 --> 00:41:21,604
Wow. That's... Okay.

1055
00:41:21,604 --> 00:41:23,731
Yeah, 'cause the vibes
were just off.

1056
00:41:23,731 --> 00:41:25,525
Yeah, it was weird.

1057
00:41:25,525 --> 00:41:27,986
I was kind of just
giving you your space.

1058
00:41:29,070 --> 00:41:32,198
I noticed that.

1059
00:41:32,198 --> 00:41:33,866
Why?

1060
00:41:36,536 --> 00:41:39,956
Well, I thought our conversation
was the reason why you left.

1061
00:41:41,833 --> 00:41:44,627
Oh, my God. N-No.

1062
00:41:44,627 --> 00:41:46,421
No, no, no, no.

1063
00:41:46,421 --> 00:41:49,716
I really respected
what you said.

1064
00:41:49,716 --> 00:41:53,302
I only left because I wanted
to try working for the district.

1065
00:41:53,302 --> 00:41:54,637
That was it.

1066
00:41:58,099 --> 00:42:00,226
Well, that's good to hear.

1067
00:42:00,226 --> 00:42:01,269
Okay.

1068
00:42:02,937 --> 00:42:05,231
So, I heard you got caught
under a tarp?

1069
00:42:07,608 --> 00:42:10,028
What, do you have, like,
a Google alert for me?

1070
00:42:10,028 --> 00:42:13,114
No, I have a Google alert
for humiliating tarp incidents.

1071
00:42:13,114 --> 00:42:15,700
Hmm. Don't you have a lot of
work to do at the district?

1072
00:42:19,162 --> 00:42:21,748
Mr. Johnson: Right when I
thought I was finally a made man,

1073
00:42:21,748 --> 00:42:22,957
they had the audacity
to try and whack me!

1074
00:42:22,957 --> 00:42:24,417
Can you believe that?

1075
00:42:24,417 --> 00:42:26,377
So after making short work
of those goons,

1076
00:42:26,377 --> 00:42:29,338
I left Sicily, officially became
an American citizen,

1077
00:42:29,338 --> 00:42:30,840
and landed here.

1078
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:32,592
I tried about 400 careers

1079
00:42:32,592 --> 00:42:36,262
until I picked up this mop
and never looked back.

1080
00:42:36,262 --> 00:42:38,890
I still can't look at tortellini
the same.

1081
00:42:38,890 --> 00:42:42,602
Anyway, janitorial work
is self-explanatory.

1082
00:42:42,602 --> 00:42:45,772
You've seen me around.
You know what I do.

1083
00:42:45,772 --> 00:42:47,148
Jacob: Ohh...

1084
00:42:47,148 --> 00:42:49,484
[ Cheers and applause ]

1085
00:42:49,484 --> 00:42:50,818
Jacob: Yeah! Whoo!

1086
00:42:50,818 --> 00:42:52,695
[ Cheers and applause ]

1087
00:42:57,700 --> 00:43:00,703
