1
00:00:02,586 --> 00:00:03,919
I know you're standing behind me.

2
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:07,005
Hey, so did you see my email
about asking for a water heater

3
00:00:07,006 --> 00:00:09,591
at the district meeting so that we can
start actually washing our hands

4
00:00:09,592 --> 00:00:12,719
in hot water and I can regain
the color in my fingertips?

5
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:17,017
Ugh. Get those cold paws out of my face
I don't read emails before 1:00 p.m.

6
00:00:18,018 --> 00:00:21,061
Tomorrow is the annual district budget
meeting where schools plead their case

7
00:00:21,062 --> 00:00:23,605
to the school board to receive funding,
blah, blah, blah.

8
00:00:23,606 --> 00:00:24,814
But thanks to the golf course,

9
00:00:24,815 --> 00:00:27,943
or should I say thanks to me
and my black belt in blackmail,

10
00:00:27,944 --> 00:00:29,736
we actually have what we need
for a change.

11
00:00:29,737 --> 00:00:32,282
So now we get to ask
for the finer things in life,

12
00:00:32,908 --> 00:00:34,324
like hot water.

13
00:00:34,325 --> 00:00:35,575
It's really not that big of an ask.

14
00:00:35,576 --> 00:00:38,912
Just one late bus, twice a week,
for my Goofballs and the step team.

15
00:00:38,913 --> 00:00:41,164
Yeah, but the kids
need two-ply toilet paper,

16
00:00:41,165 --> 00:00:43,250
and I don't wanna say why,
but we all know why.

17
00:00:43,251 --> 00:00:45,585
Okay, no, Ava, some of the kids,
they've never seen a live fish,

18
00:00:45,586 --> 00:00:47,587
so we need to a-carry them
to the aquarium.

19
00:00:47,588 --> 00:00:49,548
Yeah, but you're wasting your time.

20
00:00:49,549 --> 00:00:51,383
Yeah, the school board says no
to everything.

21
00:00:51,384 --> 00:00:53,134
Sometimes there's a school
they say yes to.

22
00:00:53,135 --> 00:00:56,096
Remember when they gave Franklin West
all those double sided erasers?

23
00:00:56,097 --> 00:00:58,348
- That was huge.
- The Great "Erasening."

24
00:00:58,349 --> 00:01:00,267
- Mm-hmm.
- It's a crapshoot.

25
00:01:00,268 --> 00:01:02,435
You never know
what's gonna get them to say yes.

26
00:01:02,436 --> 00:01:04,646
Well, this year my presentation
is on point,

27
00:01:04,647 --> 00:01:06,733
so I'm asking for all of it.
I did the ED Talk for them,

28
00:01:07,401 --> 00:01:09,818
and whilst doing that very gracious favor
that they owe me for,

29
00:01:09,819 --> 00:01:11,653
I learned how to speak fluent district.

30
00:01:11,654 --> 00:01:12,821
- Hmm.
- Mmm.

31
00:01:12,822 --> 00:01:14,781
Equity. Action item.

32
00:01:14,782 --> 00:01:15,615
Mmm.

33
00:01:15,616 --> 00:01:19,869
Deliverables.
Academic rigor. KPIs.

34
00:01:19,870 --> 00:01:20,914
What the hell's a KPI?

35
00:01:22,291 --> 00:01:23,873
Let's circle back on that.

36
00:01:23,874 --> 00:01:25,751
- Oh.
- Impressive.

37
00:01:38,223 --> 00:01:42,726
Oh, are you two lovebirds making plans
for the holiday tomorrow?

38
00:01:42,727 --> 00:01:46,313
Oh, t-tomorrow?
What is tomorrow? Is it Presidents' Day?

39
00:01:46,314 --> 00:01:47,439
Hmm. What's tomorrow, Gregory?

40
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,025
You know, I'm not sure,
but you trying to kick it, my guy?

41
00:01:50,026 --> 00:01:52,444
I don't know. It's an ordinary day to me, playboy.

42
00:01:52,445 --> 00:01:54,529
- We're kidding.
- Yeah, we know it's Valentine's Day.

43
00:01:54,530 --> 00:01:56,908
Didn't buy tickets.
Don't wanna see the show.

44
00:01:57,576 --> 00:02:00,243
Well, it's our first Valentine's Day
together as a couple.

45
00:02:00,244 --> 00:02:02,203
We usually go hard for our holidays.

46
00:02:02,204 --> 00:02:03,955
But for some reason,
the school board decided

47
00:02:03,956 --> 00:02:05,874
to schedule a district budget meeting
on the same day.

48
00:02:05,875 --> 00:02:07,167
Yeah. And we're gonna be exhausted,

49
00:02:07,168 --> 00:02:09,377
so we figured we'd just chill
at my place for V-Day.

50
00:02:09,378 --> 00:02:12,047
- Watch a nice rom-com.
- Yeah, low stakes. No stakes.

51
00:02:12,048 --> 00:02:13,383
Although I would like a burger.

52
00:02:14,468 --> 00:02:15,469
We can get you a burger.

53
00:02:16,345 --> 00:02:17,179
Oh.

54
00:02:17,763 --> 00:02:18,805
He's such a provider.

55
00:02:20,432 --> 00:02:22,891
So, what improvements to society

56
00:02:22,892 --> 00:02:25,646
did the second industrial revolution
bring about?

57
00:02:26,355 --> 00:02:27,687
RJ, hit me.

58
00:02:27,688 --> 00:02:28,813
Better ways of communicating.

59
00:02:28,814 --> 00:02:32,860
- Yes, great.
- Also tech advances, railroad expansion.

60
00:02:34,279 --> 00:02:35,322
Are you crying?

61
00:02:38,075 --> 00:02:39,199
Um...

62
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,162
Have a great rest of your day, everyone.

63
00:02:43,955 --> 00:02:47,082
Hey, Mr. C, that's cool
you started a club for RJ.

64
00:02:47,083 --> 00:02:48,208
Oh, thank you, Andrew.

65
00:02:48,209 --> 00:02:49,918
But I want a club for me.

66
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,880
Yeah, RJ's not the only one
with problems at home. I want a club too.

67
00:02:53,881 --> 00:02:56,883
Okay, that's alarming, but fair. Um...

68
00:02:56,884 --> 00:03:00,387
Well... [sighs] ...what are you
interested in? Gardening, hopefully.

69
00:03:00,388 --> 00:03:04,557
I don't know. You tell me. Isn't that,
like, your job to figure out what I like?

70
00:03:04,558 --> 00:03:06,851
No, my job is to teach history.

71
00:03:06,852 --> 00:03:08,063
That's your whole job?

72
00:03:08,855 --> 00:03:10,271
I will see what I can do.

73
00:03:10,272 --> 00:03:11,483
Then get on it.

74
00:03:12,651 --> 00:03:13,652
Chop-chop, bitch.

75
00:03:14,528 --> 00:03:16,446
What did I say about calling me "bitch"?

76
00:03:21,368 --> 00:03:23,702
- District bingo, anyone?
- Yes.

77
00:03:23,703 --> 00:03:28,289
The boxes contain district platitudes
and Abbott certainties.

78
00:03:28,290 --> 00:03:32,502
"We'll do our best to accommodate."
Yeah, you really nailed that district BS.

79
00:03:32,503 --> 00:03:35,797
Just reading it makes me wanna
slap the hell out of somebody.

80
00:03:35,798 --> 00:03:37,966
Oh, Melissa threatens violence.
Hey, I've got that.

81
00:03:37,967 --> 00:03:39,719
- Yeah. Yeah.
- That's pretty good.

82
00:03:40,220 --> 00:03:41,636
Hey, yo.

83
00:03:41,637 --> 00:03:43,598
Watch it, Stick Stickly.

84
00:03:44,182 --> 00:03:46,599
- What are you looking at SpongeBob?
- Oh.

85
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,602
Hey, hey. He was Teacher of the Year.
Not last year, but, like,

86
00:03:49,603 --> 00:03:50,728
- a couple of years ago.
- Yeah.

87
00:03:50,729 --> 00:03:53,356
- Can it, Tommy Pickles.
- Oh, my God.

88
00:03:53,357 --> 00:03:55,358
- Okay.
- Why does she watch so much Nickelodeon?

89
00:03:55,359 --> 00:03:59,529
- Oof. It is tense in here.
- Uh-oh. The Big Teagues.

90
00:03:59,530 --> 00:04:02,282
- Hey, Manny.
- Gregory Eddie.

91
00:04:02,283 --> 00:04:04,244
I hear you two are an item now.

92
00:04:05,954 --> 00:04:08,874
- I love that. You have my blessing.
- Aw.

93
00:04:09,541 --> 00:04:13,084
Jacob Hill. Come on, man.

94
00:04:13,085 --> 00:04:14,588
Mrs. Howard.

95
00:04:15,380 --> 00:04:17,088
- Ms. Schemmenti.
- Oh, this is gonna take forever.

96
00:04:17,089 --> 00:04:18,923
Um, I'm gonna go get a smoothie
from next door.

97
00:04:18,924 --> 00:04:21,301
Okay. Can you get me an Apple a Day
Keeps the Doctor Away.

98
00:04:21,302 --> 00:04:24,514
Oh, and get me one of the strawberry ones
with the Cocoa Puffs.

99
00:04:25,098 --> 00:04:26,931
- Cacao nibs. Yeah.
- I got it. All right.

100
00:04:26,932 --> 00:04:32,189
Crystal R-R-R-Riley!

101
00:04:32,773 --> 00:04:37,734
Ah! Well, well, well.
Look who's here. Hey, Soror.

102
00:04:37,735 --> 00:04:39,486
You sound surprised for someone
who just texted me,

103
00:04:39,487 --> 00:04:41,823
"See you soon, Soror."
But okay. Hey, girl.

104
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:46,620
Enough with the pleasantries.

105
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,579
I am clocked in at the locked in factory

106
00:04:49,580 --> 00:04:52,540
and I'm about to take all
the district's money for Liberty Rings.

107
00:04:52,541 --> 00:04:56,419
Well, how will you get anything when I'm
gonna get it all for Abbott?

108
00:04:56,420 --> 00:04:58,338
Make it make sense.

109
00:04:58,339 --> 00:05:01,382
Honestly, truly, I am rooting for you.

110
00:05:01,383 --> 00:05:08,350
I sincerely hope there's something left
for dusty old Abbott after I go seventh.

111
00:05:09,476 --> 00:05:13,063
That's right. That's right.
We got the best spot.

112
00:05:14,105 --> 00:05:18,233
Lucky number seven,
the one right before the 15 minute break.

113
00:05:18,234 --> 00:05:21,361
They always throw someone a bone
in that spot,

114
00:05:21,362 --> 00:05:24,697
so that people will come back
with a little bit of hope.

115
00:05:24,698 --> 00:05:26,783
Well, I don't need hope.

116
00:05:26,784 --> 00:05:30,245
'Cause I'm locked in
at the clock factory and guess what?

117
00:05:30,246 --> 00:05:31,331
There's no key.

118
00:05:32,874 --> 00:05:35,416
<i>Attention.
The meeting is starting in one minute.</i>

119
00:05:35,417 --> 00:05:36,753
Oh.

120
00:05:37,504 --> 00:05:38,711
Oh, oh, oh, oh.

121
00:05:38,712 --> 00:05:42,549
Hold on. I got a voice note from Gregory.
Might be a smoothie emergency.

122
00:05:42,550 --> 00:05:44,592
Because you know what?
I'm not allergic to apple,

123
00:05:44,593 --> 00:05:46,471
- but I kinda get this thing where my--
- Bye.

124
00:05:55,522 --> 00:05:58,275
<i>Hey, so the smoothie you ordered
has a different name.</i>

125
00:05:58,900 --> 00:06:00,191
<i>What was in it again?</i>

126
00:06:00,192 --> 00:06:02,527
<i>You know what? Never mind.
I'll just, uh... I'll surprise you.</i>

127
00:06:02,528 --> 00:06:05,448
<i>I gotta go. Bye-bye. Okay. I love you.</i>

128
00:06:07,284 --> 00:06:09,452
Did he just tell me he loves me
for the first time?

129
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:11,580
In a voice note?

130
00:06:13,915 --> 00:06:16,543
So if you could please consider
our request for windows.

131
00:06:17,085 --> 00:06:19,296
I miss the sunlight
and the children do too.

132
00:06:20,171 --> 00:06:21,004
We'll have to...

133
00:06:21,005 --> 00:06:23,256
- Ava Colem--
- Stop.

134
00:06:23,257 --> 00:06:25,258
I heard Liberty Rings got the seventh spot

135
00:06:25,259 --> 00:06:26,926
even though I volunteered
to do that ED Talk,

136
00:06:26,927 --> 00:06:28,887
not out of the kindness of my heart.

137
00:06:28,888 --> 00:06:30,763
Look, the district really appreciated
that talk,

138
00:06:30,764 --> 00:06:33,099
and we know that it's been a while
since Abbott's walked out

139
00:06:33,100 --> 00:06:35,935
with anything at these meetings.
So between you and me,

140
00:06:35,936 --> 00:06:39,024
the superintendent set aside a nice chunk
of money for you.

141
00:06:39,774 --> 00:06:42,692
You could sleepwalk up there
and wake up with a bag.

142
00:06:42,693 --> 00:06:45,528
If we get some textbooks
that make it past the civil rights era,

143
00:06:45,529 --> 00:06:48,197
I feel like it might help with some of
the racial tension in the school.

144
00:06:48,198 --> 00:06:49,409
We'll take a look at that.

145
00:06:49,993 --> 00:06:52,746
Ha! "We'll take a look at that." Got it.

146
00:06:53,246 --> 00:06:57,123
- Are you cheating?
- How am I cheating? You made these.

147
00:06:57,124 --> 00:06:59,125
You know, people say
you can't be good at bingo.

148
00:06:59,126 --> 00:07:02,170
- Tell that to my cards.
- Thank you. Next, please.

149
00:07:02,171 --> 00:07:03,465
What are you smiling about?

150
00:07:05,091 --> 00:07:06,134
Well...

151
00:07:14,351 --> 00:07:18,144
- Oh, hello.
- Hi. Oh, my God, what? This?

152
00:07:18,145 --> 00:07:20,521
Call me Scrappy-Doo
'cause I got a mystery on my hands.

153
00:07:20,522 --> 00:07:22,690
Do you mind listening to this voice note
that Gregory left me

154
00:07:22,691 --> 00:07:23,775
while he was getting smoothies

155
00:07:23,776 --> 00:07:25,568
and tell me what you think
he says at the end?

156
00:07:25,569 --> 00:07:26,736
Okay.

157
00:07:26,737 --> 00:07:29,574
...<i>gotta go.
Bye-bye. Okay. I love you.</i>

158
00:07:30,992 --> 00:07:34,204
- Sounds to me like he said, "I love food."
- Hmm?

159
00:07:34,788 --> 00:07:36,456
Sure. Yeah, for sure.

160
00:07:37,332 --> 00:07:39,957
Um, I just... I thought it sounded like
he said "I love you,"

161
00:07:39,958 --> 00:07:42,669
but that... that'd be weird to say
for the first time in a voice note, right?

162
00:07:42,670 --> 00:07:44,422
Yeah, that would definitely be weird.

163
00:07:46,049 --> 00:07:51,219
Although that young man
notoriously does not love food.

164
00:07:51,220 --> 00:07:52,681
- No, he doesn't. Right?
- Mm-mm.

165
00:07:53,223 --> 00:07:56,474
Maybe he said, "I love boots."
What kind of footwear does he sport?

166
00:07:56,475 --> 00:07:58,017
Um... I'm trying to think,

167
00:07:58,018 --> 00:08:00,603
but I honestly can't remember
anything about him below the knees.

168
00:08:00,604 --> 00:08:03,065
- Ooh, that reminds me.
- What?

169
00:08:04,984 --> 00:08:08,486
"Janine needs help
with something silly." Ha!

170
00:08:08,487 --> 00:08:12,198
- I got the corners, baby. Yeah.
- Right, but if you can focus on this.

171
00:08:12,199 --> 00:08:13,616
I just wanna know what you think.

172
00:08:13,617 --> 00:08:15,785
Oh, hello, ladies. You don't know me,

173
00:08:15,786 --> 00:08:17,578
but would you mind weighing in
on a voice note?

174
00:08:17,579 --> 00:08:21,292
Of course we don't need sporks,
but it doesn't hurt to ask.

175
00:08:22,794 --> 00:08:24,129
Or I guess it does.

176
00:08:24,671 --> 00:08:28,923
- "Principal cries."
- Sporks. Such a luxurious ask.

177
00:08:28,924 --> 00:08:32,510
Yeah, people are really starting
to lose it and I'm not gonna lie.

178
00:08:32,511 --> 00:08:34,512
It feels good to not have
to worry this year.

179
00:08:34,513 --> 00:08:39,058
I know. I can't believe Manny told Ava
that they set aside money for us.

180
00:08:39,059 --> 00:08:41,018
You know, I was actually thinking
about asking Ava

181
00:08:41,019 --> 00:08:43,229
if we could request money for more clubs.

182
00:08:43,230 --> 00:08:45,106
What do we need more clubs for?

183
00:08:45,107 --> 00:08:48,401
You and Gregory got big plans
to help two to six more students?

184
00:08:48,402 --> 00:08:50,278
Actually, yesterday some of the kids,

185
00:08:50,279 --> 00:08:53,197
they were asking me if I could help them
find something they're passionate about.

186
00:08:53,198 --> 00:08:54,866
You know, kind of like I did with RJ.

187
00:08:54,867 --> 00:08:57,410
Okay, so who's gonna run
all these clubs? You?

188
00:08:57,411 --> 00:09:01,372
That's like another full-time job
on top of your already full-time job.

189
00:09:01,373 --> 00:09:04,333
It's like an overtime job.
It's too many jobs.

190
00:09:04,334 --> 00:09:09,005
Please, we must have absolute silence
and be respectful to the people here.

191
00:09:09,006 --> 00:09:10,633
Request denied.

192
00:09:11,134 --> 00:09:14,596
Next up, looks like we have
Liberty Rings Elementary.

193
00:09:16,514 --> 00:09:17,766
Uh, excuse me.

194
00:09:22,812 --> 00:09:24,147
Watch and learn, Soror.

195
00:09:25,523 --> 00:09:26,649
Good luck, babe.

196
00:09:27,192 --> 00:09:28,566
You know what...

197
00:09:28,567 --> 00:09:30,359
I always thought
he would tell me he loved me,

198
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,155
like, using a plant or something,
but using his words? He's...

199
00:09:32,822 --> 00:09:33,988
He's such a wild card.

200
00:09:33,989 --> 00:09:36,282
Did you happen to catch anyone saying
"low-hanging fruit"?

201
00:09:36,283 --> 00:09:37,533
It's a critical square.

202
00:09:37,534 --> 00:09:39,037
- No.
- Oh, okay.

203
00:09:39,913 --> 00:09:42,789
So apparently they changed
all the names for Valentine's Day,

204
00:09:42,790 --> 00:09:44,125
so hopefully I got this right.

205
00:09:44,626 --> 00:09:47,335
- Here is your Apple Of My Eye.
- Thank you.

206
00:09:47,336 --> 00:09:52,300
Here is your strawberry and cacao nib,
I Love You with Extra Love, aka nibs.

207
00:09:54,260 --> 00:09:55,093
Um...

208
00:09:55,094 --> 00:09:57,178
- Aren't those festive names?
- Mm-hmm.

209
00:09:57,179 --> 00:09:59,514
More like confusing. It took me a second

210
00:09:59,515 --> 00:10:02,102
to realize Be Still My Beating Heart
was my go-to.

211
00:10:02,977 --> 00:10:05,144
Ironically, the opposite of
what beets do for the heart.

212
00:10:05,145 --> 00:10:07,313
Yeah. No, super confusing.

213
00:10:07,314 --> 00:10:08,941
- Yeah.
- Yeah.

214
00:10:12,153 --> 00:10:14,153
Oh, hey, you're full-time now?

215
00:10:14,154 --> 00:10:17,281
For almost a year. We were just venting
about how terrible the district is.

216
00:10:17,282 --> 00:10:19,951
Yeah.
Seems like nobody gets what they want.

217
00:10:19,952 --> 00:10:24,122
Seriously. Five years ago our school's
roof caved in, and instead of fixing it,

218
00:10:24,123 --> 00:10:25,915
they had a counselor come in once a week

219
00:10:25,916 --> 00:10:28,376
to deal with the emotional burden
of not having a roof.

220
00:10:28,377 --> 00:10:31,379
Apparently they were like,
"I know you feel a dank draft, kid,

221
00:10:31,380 --> 00:10:34,132
but how does that dank draft
make you feel?"

222
00:10:34,133 --> 00:10:36,342
"Uh, Dank. The hell?"

223
00:10:36,343 --> 00:10:40,223
Wow. That's interesting.
Wait, so the counselor came once a week?

224
00:10:40,849 --> 00:10:43,266
Our school turned into a drop-top.
That's what you're focused on?

225
00:10:43,267 --> 00:10:45,643
No, yeah. That is...
That is wild.

226
00:10:45,644 --> 00:10:48,813
District sucks.

227
00:10:48,814 --> 00:10:50,439
All right.

228
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:56,281
So with that, I ask the board to grant us
these basic necessities.

229
00:10:56,906 --> 00:10:58,364
And to quote Amanda Gorman,

230
00:10:58,365 --> 00:11:04,745
"For there is always light,
if only we're brave enough to see it,

231
00:11:04,746 --> 00:11:09,252
if only we are brave enough to be it."

232
00:11:10,128 --> 00:11:13,296
Oh, yes. Wasn't that lovely?

233
00:11:13,297 --> 00:11:15,548
Corny ass.

234
00:11:15,549 --> 00:11:17,343
That was an impressive presentation.

235
00:11:20,889 --> 00:11:25,101
But highly unlikely. We'll circle back.

236
00:11:26,019 --> 00:11:27,604
Let's reconvene in 15 minutes.

237
00:11:28,771 --> 00:11:32,773
Oof. "Highly unlikely"
and "We'll circle back."

238
00:11:32,774 --> 00:11:33,858
That's a double whammy.

239
00:11:33,859 --> 00:11:36,736
- Yeah.
- And also double squares. I'm one away.

240
00:11:36,737 --> 00:11:37,820
- What? How?
- One away.

241
00:11:37,821 --> 00:11:38,988
- You got one?
- Yeah, I got one.

242
00:11:38,989 --> 00:11:40,114
- Did you--
- Hey, so,

243
00:11:40,115 --> 00:11:41,991
about that counselor that you mentioned...

244
00:11:41,992 --> 00:11:45,747
Oh, my... You know,
you Abbott people are weird.

245
00:11:46,247 --> 00:11:47,540
All the teachers talk about it.

246
00:11:48,458 --> 00:11:50,082
Right, right. Well...

247
00:11:50,083 --> 00:11:53,836
Anyways, can you tell me more about,
like, how it works?

248
00:11:53,837 --> 00:11:55,129
She comes once a week,

249
00:11:55,130 --> 00:11:58,341
which is nowhere near enough
to get anything real done.

250
00:11:58,342 --> 00:12:00,051
The line is always out the door.

251
00:12:00,052 --> 00:12:02,303
And the district would never pay
for more days.

252
00:12:02,304 --> 00:12:03,765
Yeah, that's, um...

253
00:12:05,183 --> 00:12:06,643
Awesome, good talk!

254
00:12:07,477 --> 00:12:10,480
Liberty Rings got smoked.

255
00:12:11,522 --> 00:12:13,105
I'm gonna go kick Crystal
while she's down.

256
00:12:13,106 --> 00:12:16,776
I'm really sorry, but it's okay.
We will get them next year.

257
00:12:16,777 --> 00:12:19,487
That's what we've been saying
for the last three years.

258
00:12:19,488 --> 00:12:20,821
I know I'm trying to stay positive.

259
00:12:20,822 --> 00:12:25,868
They are up there hoarding resources
while our kids are sharing books,

260
00:12:25,869 --> 00:12:27,872
taking turns doing the homework.

261
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,624
I don't know how I'm gonna go back
into the school and tell everybody

262
00:12:31,625 --> 00:12:33,418
I didn't get anything for the kids.

263
00:12:34,921 --> 00:12:37,338
I just...
I really thought we had it this time.

264
00:12:37,339 --> 00:12:40,635
If it helps, you know,
no one really got anything.

265
00:12:41,928 --> 00:12:44,637
Watch out for the Ava-lanche
rolling through,

266
00:12:44,638 --> 00:12:49,310
getting resources,
knocking down houses. Cool.

267
00:12:52,772 --> 00:12:56,691
Mmm. You know what I love?
I don't use this word often.

268
00:12:56,692 --> 00:13:00,571
I love when they add just a pinch of
salt to balance out the flavors.

269
00:13:01,155 --> 00:13:02,071
God, I just love that.

270
00:13:02,072 --> 00:13:04,367
You love that. That's great.
That's good stuff.

271
00:13:04,951 --> 00:13:09,287
There you are. Hey, what do you think
about asking Ava for a counselor?

272
00:13:09,288 --> 00:13:12,707
Oh, is this instead of your request
for a Pan-African flag?

273
00:13:12,708 --> 00:13:15,793
Well, in an ideal world
we would get both, but yes, yes.

274
00:13:15,794 --> 00:13:19,130
I really think a counselor, like two
or three times a week, you know,

275
00:13:19,131 --> 00:13:20,506
giving individualized attention,

276
00:13:20,507 --> 00:13:23,011
it could change the trajectory of
some of our students' lives.

277
00:13:23,636 --> 00:13:25,678
I mean, don't you think
that's worth pursuing?

278
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,930
I mean, I could use some support
with the Goofballs.

279
00:13:27,931 --> 00:13:30,474
I know they look up to me, but I don't
have all the answers they need.

280
00:13:30,475 --> 00:13:32,143
The world is so different
from when I was a kid.

281
00:13:32,144 --> 00:13:33,060
Yeah.

282
00:13:33,061 --> 00:13:34,812
Yeah, the older girls who come talk to me,

283
00:13:34,813 --> 00:13:36,689
they've got some real stuff
they're dealing with,

284
00:13:36,690 --> 00:13:39,358
and I don't know what
half the words they're saying mean.

285
00:13:39,359 --> 00:13:40,609
Gyatt.

286
00:13:40,610 --> 00:13:42,278
See? Melissa gyatts it.

287
00:13:42,279 --> 00:13:43,988
No, just... No.

288
00:13:43,989 --> 00:13:46,157
Yeah, but a counselor
that many times a week

289
00:13:46,158 --> 00:13:48,993
would be almost as expensive
as our entire list.

290
00:13:48,994 --> 00:13:50,119
Ava's not gonna go for that.

291
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:51,622
- Yeah, she'd kill you.
- Yeah.

292
00:13:52,498 --> 00:13:53,497
Maybe we'll get lucky next year.

293
00:13:53,498 --> 00:13:56,000
No. Guys, guys, so much
can happen in a year.

294
00:13:56,001 --> 00:13:56,959
Haven't you seen <i>Rent</i>?

295
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:00,087
Okay? We can't sit on our hands.
This... This is our year.

296
00:14:00,088 --> 00:14:02,800
I'm sorry, man, but I just don't know
what else we could do at this point.

297
00:14:03,509 --> 00:14:04,425
Well, on the bright side,

298
00:14:04,426 --> 00:14:08,095
we can all mark off Jacob gives
an impassioned speech.

299
00:14:08,096 --> 00:14:09,930
- Oh, yeah. Okay.
- Mm-hmm.

300
00:14:09,931 --> 00:14:12,808
I already marked mine when I was still
set on the flag and I was explaining

301
00:14:12,809 --> 00:14:15,061
what the colors black, green,
and red represent.

302
00:14:15,062 --> 00:14:16,314
Was it to a Black person?

303
00:14:16,939 --> 00:14:17,980
Yes.

304
00:14:17,981 --> 00:14:18,939
Barb, you should have put

305
00:14:18,940 --> 00:14:21,984
"Jacob explains an element of
Black culture" on here.

306
00:14:21,985 --> 00:14:23,696
Maybe next time.

307
00:14:26,365 --> 00:14:27,531
Hey, Ava.

308
00:14:27,532 --> 00:14:28,908
Jacob, not now.

309
00:14:28,909 --> 00:14:30,326
No, totally. But...

310
00:14:30,327 --> 00:14:34,455
Oh, hey, actually, do you think, um,
I could give the presentation for you?

311
00:14:34,456 --> 00:14:37,083
I would love some face time
with the district

312
00:14:37,084 --> 00:14:40,421
and, uh, it's in the bag, right?
So what's the harm?

313
00:14:40,922 --> 00:14:45,466
Before we hear from the next school,
a reminder, get to the point.

314
00:14:45,467 --> 00:14:48,387
Less pomp, no circumstance. Okay?

315
00:14:50,765 --> 00:14:53,307
- Yeah, go ahead.
- Wait, really?

316
00:14:53,308 --> 00:14:56,143
Yeah, they said we could sleepwalk
up there and get the money,

317
00:14:56,144 --> 00:14:58,856
so march your squirrel ass
up there and go get our nut.

318
00:14:59,982 --> 00:15:00,981
Okay.

319
00:15:00,982 --> 00:15:03,442
It doesn't even matter
what you say up there...

320
00:15:03,443 --> 00:15:06,153
...or what you need
or how much you prepare,

321
00:15:06,154 --> 00:15:08,908
just how much the district decides
they like you that year.

322
00:15:09,492 --> 00:15:11,369
Next up, Abbott Elementary.

323
00:15:16,165 --> 00:15:18,668
Hello, distinguished school board members.

324
00:15:19,252 --> 00:15:23,714
My name is Jacob Hill, and I am a teacher
at Abbott Elementary, um...

325
00:15:26,134 --> 00:15:27,633
I'm gonna cut to the point.

326
00:15:27,634 --> 00:15:31,470
We don't need, currently,
some of the material things

327
00:15:31,471 --> 00:15:33,681
that the other schools
are asking for today.

328
00:15:33,682 --> 00:15:37,601
The students at our school are each
facing issues outside of the classroom,

329
00:15:37,602 --> 00:15:41,190
and these things are impacting
their lives in school.

330
00:15:41,774 --> 00:15:46,485
Now, we do our best, but as teachers
we just don't have the bandwidth

331
00:15:46,486 --> 00:15:48,948
to give them the one-on-one attention
that they need.

332
00:15:49,574 --> 00:15:53,826
So I'm asking for Abbott
to get a counselor three days a week.

333
00:15:53,827 --> 00:15:55,244
Excuse me?

334
00:15:55,245 --> 00:15:57,705
That is a very big ask.

335
00:15:57,706 --> 00:16:01,459
Well, it would be our entire request.

336
00:16:04,172 --> 00:16:05,173
Then it's granted.

337
00:16:06,382 --> 00:16:09,675
Oh, no. Ava's gonna kill him.
I can't look. I can't look.

338
00:16:09,676 --> 00:16:10,759
Oh.

339
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:12,970
You have love for the boy.

340
00:16:12,971 --> 00:16:15,099
I have love for the rent he pays me, Barb.

341
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,683
A counselor? I love that for you,

342
00:16:17,684 --> 00:16:20,477
but you're leaving
like 25 grand on the table.

343
00:16:20,478 --> 00:16:22,771
...and your generosity.
Yeah.

344
00:16:22,772 --> 00:16:25,733
I guess I didn't even really
need these cards. Um, wow.

345
00:16:25,734 --> 00:16:27,569
And you all look fantastic...

346
00:16:31,657 --> 00:16:32,658
Why?

347
00:16:33,826 --> 00:16:34,785
Um...

348
00:16:38,664 --> 00:16:40,958
Actually, Abbott has another request.

349
00:16:42,376 --> 00:16:43,459
Proceed.

350
00:16:43,460 --> 00:16:46,962
We would also like to ask for computers,
new history books,

351
00:16:46,963 --> 00:16:49,091
and we could use some discretionary funds.

352
00:16:50,259 --> 00:16:52,676
Approved. Can we move on now?

353
00:16:52,677 --> 00:16:54,720
Of course, but one more thing.

354
00:16:54,721 --> 00:16:56,224
Oh, my God, sit down.

355
00:16:57,934 --> 00:16:59,683
I'm gonna need for those things
to be divided

356
00:16:59,684 --> 00:17:03,564
between the three Title I schools
that came before us and were denied.

357
00:17:04,315 --> 00:17:05,316
Oh, my bad.

358
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,027
And now I'm done. Thank you.

359
00:17:09,362 --> 00:17:14,698
Fine. We'll divide it amongst the schools,
which we would have done eventually.

360
00:17:14,699 --> 00:17:16,075
You were just putting a pin in it.

361
00:17:16,076 --> 00:17:20,539
I knew y'all would circle back
after you ran it up the flagpole. KPI.

362
00:17:22,625 --> 00:17:24,627
- Yeah!
- Whoo!

363
00:17:31,425 --> 00:17:35,678
I should have known
you'd pull out some theatrics.

364
00:17:35,679 --> 00:17:39,306
Well... [giggles] ...the spotlight
finds me. I don't go looking for it.

365
00:17:39,307 --> 00:17:43,271
But thank you. For what you did in there.

366
00:17:43,854 --> 00:17:47,106
Of course. But when you kill it
as hard as I do,

367
00:17:47,107 --> 00:17:48,524
it's easy to share the wealth.

368
00:17:48,525 --> 00:17:51,904
I just want others to experience
what I experience on a daily basis.

369
00:17:52,488 --> 00:17:54,530
- Well, I appreciate it.
- Mmm.

370
00:17:54,531 --> 00:17:57,575
Although, I did find it so interesting
what your teacher said

371
00:17:57,576 --> 00:18:00,496
about Abbott already having
material things.

372
00:18:02,999 --> 00:18:04,041
Bye, girl.

373
00:18:10,673 --> 00:18:12,256
That was incredible.

374
00:18:12,257 --> 00:18:15,801
Jacob, you lied to me. Interesting choice.

375
00:18:15,802 --> 00:18:18,679
You know, ever since I did a nice thing
ten minutes ago,

376
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:23,561
I've been looking for a new person
to destroy. To restore order.

377
00:18:24,937 --> 00:18:28,147
Ava, none of that was on my bingo card.

378
00:18:28,148 --> 00:18:31,942
This has a whiff of a long con of which
we do not yet know the ramifications.

379
00:18:31,943 --> 00:18:34,612
Why do y'all act like I can't do
something nice every once in a while?

380
00:18:34,613 --> 00:18:37,323
I told you since the beginning,
I had this covered.

381
00:18:37,324 --> 00:18:42,703
Abbott Element. So hey, that was awesome
in there very cool, very rad,

382
00:18:42,704 --> 00:18:46,665
but the school board is super pissed.

383
00:18:46,666 --> 00:18:48,959
Like, I've never seen them
this mad before,

384
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,587
so I would mind your P's and Q's
going forward

385
00:18:51,588 --> 00:18:54,675
because they're about to be on your ass.

386
00:18:56,093 --> 00:19:00,431
Hey. The school board.

387
00:19:02,016 --> 00:19:04,058
- Pretty cool move by Ava.
- Mm-hmm.

388
00:19:04,059 --> 00:19:05,934
- I kinda loved it.
- Oh.

389
00:19:05,935 --> 00:19:08,022
God, what don't you love, Gregory?

390
00:19:08,981 --> 00:19:13,151
Okay. What's going on?
I'm missing something?

391
00:19:16,572 --> 00:19:20,117
...<i>surprise you. I gotta go.
Bye-bye. Okay. I love you.</i>

392
00:19:23,329 --> 00:19:24,495
I see.

393
00:19:24,496 --> 00:19:27,875
I know you were just ordering
a special smoothie, but I kinda...

394
00:19:29,460 --> 00:19:32,586
I thought that you said you loved me.
So...

395
00:19:32,587 --> 00:19:35,675
- 'Cause I did.
- It's just a loaded drink name. But...

396
00:19:38,010 --> 00:19:40,594
Wait. What?

397
00:19:40,595 --> 00:19:42,765
Yeah, I wasn't ordering when I said that.

398
00:19:43,849 --> 00:19:48,437
I said I love you to you.
Must have just slipped out.

399
00:19:49,897 --> 00:19:50,898
Oh.

400
00:19:52,525 --> 00:19:53,982
But it was an accident?

401
00:19:53,983 --> 00:19:59,281
Yeah, but it slipped out
because that's how I feel.

402
00:20:02,576 --> 00:20:03,828
I think it all the time.

403
00:20:05,329 --> 00:20:06,954
I was gonna say it tonight
over for dinner,

404
00:20:06,955 --> 00:20:08,874
but apparently I couldn't wait.

405
00:20:11,669 --> 00:20:12,753
'Cause I love you.

406
00:20:15,965 --> 00:20:18,384
Sick, sick, sick.

407
00:20:22,513 --> 00:20:23,806
I love you too.

408
00:20:46,746 --> 00:20:48,497
- Do you want to go to Bone Town?
- Hell yeah.

409
00:20:50,249 --> 00:20:52,291
Welcome back. Let's get settled.

410
00:20:52,292 --> 00:20:57,254
Next up on the agenda, public comment.
First up we have...

411
00:20:57,255 --> 00:21:00,424
I can't make out the first name,
but the last name is Johnson.

412
00:21:00,425 --> 00:21:04,221
Greetings, board.
Sister Sloss, looking good.

413
00:21:05,181 --> 00:21:09,349
I'd like to file a motion that
the district give me $50 and a sandwich.

414
00:21:09,350 --> 00:21:11,977
Yes! Bingo!

415
00:21:11,978 --> 00:21:15,564
- Come on.
- Mr. Johnson says some Mr. Nonsense.

416
00:21:15,565 --> 00:21:17,024
Damn it. Gotta be kidding me.

417
00:21:17,025 --> 00:21:18,442
How am I bad at bingo?

418
00:21:18,443 --> 00:21:19,860
Request denied.

419
00:21:19,861 --> 00:21:22,364
Okay then. Just give me the $50
and I'll starve to death.
