Quote from Janine

Janine: [enters] ♪ Ca-a-a-a-a-thy! ♪ [squeals, chuckles] I cannot believe this is your last day with us. I mean, you have been the greatest volunteer art teacher this school has ever seen. And look. Bermuda shorts, because your favorite vacation spot is Bermuda!
Mrs. Temple: Well, how sweet.
Janine: Mm-hmm.
Mrs. Temple: Thank you!
Janine: You're so welcome.
Mrs. Temple: Aww. [chuckles] [whispers] Barbara, what is her name again?

Quote from Janine

Janine: This is us in college when we first met. [laughs] She never got wine stains on her teeth. Ugh, God. Man, believe it or not, I had a hard time making friends back then.
Ava: [chuckling] No.
Janine: Yeah, yeah, I know. But Sahar really took me outside of my box, and, you know, I'm sure she's gonna do the same thing for the kids, and I don't know. If you think I'm cool...
Ava: I don't.
Jacob: Janine's cool.
Janine: Yes, thank you, Jacob.
Jacob: She does puzzles, she knits.
Janine: Just thank you, thank you.

Quote from Melissa

Ava: She wears orthopedics, and she eats plums.
Janine: What is wrong with plums?
Gregory: I mean...
Barbara: They're not exactly the coolest fruit.
Melissa: You know what's a cool fruit? Kiwi.
Ava: Exactly.

Quote from Ava

Ava: So, you used to hang out with Janine? Was it some kind of big sister thing or some kind of Make-A-Wish for people who are dying of embarrassment?
Janine: [laughs] That is Ava. She's funny.
Sahar: Well, I'm so excited to be here. I cannot wait to collaborate.
Janine: Okay, let me go show you around. Come on.
Ava: Pulling off overalls? That's not easy.

Quote from Jacob

Jacob: [exhales sharply] Are there even any vegetables in these meals?
Devin: Yeah. We got sprouts flown in from Brussels every morning.

Quote from Melissa

Melissa: I know they're not assigned. We all understand who parks where, and you parked in my understood spot. You understand?

Quote from Janine

Janine: [aside to camera] This is classic Janine and Sahar. I mean, being her friend is so exciting. We are just doing a ton of cool stuff all the time, like going to a party at Tierra Whack's house, which she got to go. I actually... I stood outside and, um, I just listened because I couldn't get in. It all sounded so fun. Everyone was having a really good time.

Quote from Janine

Janine: Amaya, you are in Jupiter's group. Stop hoarding Saturn's rings.

Quote from Melissa

Melissa: What do you mean by old? Old how? Like, I'm old or it's old-fashioned?
Sahar: What...
Melissa: What old?
Sahar: No, no. The project is just a little elementary.
Melissa: Of course it's elementary! This is an elementary school!
Sahar: Okay, I misspoke. I shouldn't have said "elementary." I'm sorry.
Janine: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa. What's going on?
Melissa: Little miss MoMA over here thinks a beloved tradition is too "elementary" for second graders, so she wants to do some installation in the library instead.

Quote from Janine

Melissa: Okay, we're doing the bunny plates like we've always done, and that's the end of the discussion. Janine, get your girl and tell her to watch out because you don't know who you're messing with. [slams door, exits]
Janine: [whispers] Okay, so, um, what I got from that is you should watch out and you don't know who you're messing with.
Sahar: Mm.
