Quote from Gregory
Miss Janet: I'm Janet Elton, trauma counselor sent by the district. I'm looking for acting-principal Gregory Eddie.
Janine: Oh.
Gregory: Interim principal. Unofficially, but effectively. Thank you for coming.
Janine: Wow, you called the district and they actually sent someone right away?
Gregory: Well, people really respect my leadershi...
Miss Janet: I was on my way when you called.
Quote from Janine
Miss Janet: Where can I set up? I need to work my way top to bottom and visit all classrooms ahead of the fire safety meeting.
Janine: Oh, lucky. [chuckles] Ask the third graders if they miss me. [chuckles]
Gregory: Right this way. [they walk away]
Janine: I'm Miss Teagues.
Quote from Jacob
Jacob: Wow, she, uh... she seems really into fire trucks.
Firefighter: Yeah, we call them Truckies.
Jacob: Mm.
Firefighter: Just once I'd like a woman to like me for me, not the truck, you know?
Jacob: Yeah, I mean, not super relatable, but empathizing nonetheless.
Firefighter: Mm.
Jacob: Hey, thank you for everything that you do. As a fellow employee of the city and aspiring humble hero... I see you.
Firefighter: Any chance you could see to getting your co-worker away from our truck?
Quote from Melissa
Melissa: Doesn't even make sense. Why would a fire own sunglasses?
Quote from Melissa
Melissa: Well, I better get back to those firefighters. I gotta help them find their keys. [swings key]
Quote from Barbara
Boy: Mrs. Howard, is the fire done?
Barbara: Oh, sweetheart, the fire is all done. Would you like to talk about it with Miss Janet, the nice lady from earlier?
Boy: It's okay.
Barbara: You know it's okay to feel scared. You don't have to pretend that you're not. Pretending can make it harder. [holds boy's hand] You know, sometimes Mrs. Howard gets scared... and upset, too. And that's okay. Okay? [the boy gives Barbara a thumbs up]
