Gregory: I can't fully accept this award because I'm still learning.
Elizabeth Washington: Cameras back up.
Gregory: As teachers, we all are. But every day I can come in here and teach, I'm being held up by some of the most incredibly deserving teachers here at Abbott. [Mr. Johnson stops Jacob snapping his fingers] This profession isn't about being the best, it's about doing your best. Being a constant for your students on the good days, the bad, the terrible. It's the showing up that counts. Uh, so I'd like to dedicate this award to all the teachers here at Abbott who show up every day and give their best. [chuckles lightly] It's an honor to walk through those doors with you every morning. Thank you. [cheers and applause]
Elizabeth Washington: Thank you. And please, please give a hand to this wonderful Black man.

Jacob: If I didn't love Shanae so much, I would be jealous of her cookie success. Ava really knows how to work a room.
Gregory: I can also work a room. Watch me. Nurse Makiah. [Nurse Makiah turns around] Hello.
Nurse Makiah: Did you need something?
Gregory: No, no, I'm just shooting the breeze. You know, speaking of breeze, how do you feel about pollution?
Nurse Makiah: Bad?
Gregory: Mm-hmm, yes, same here. So we have that in common. Yeah, cool. Do you have any other opinions? [Nurse Makiah walks off]

Janine: So what does a Gregory pack for an overnight trip to the Franklin Institute?
Gregory: We have a do-rag.
Janine: Uh-huh.
Gregory: All 13 essential vitamins.
Janine: Of course.
Gregory: And night socks.
Janine: Night socks?
Gregory: Yeah. For after I take off my day socks. [both chuckle]

Janine: Man, I'm happy Ava paired us up as group buddies.
Gregory: Now, don't ever leave us behind. I need you to have my back in case someone casts an ancient spell and the exhibits come to life. I'm counting on those tiny fists for very precise blows.
Janine: Wait. So you did watch Night at the Museum?
Gregory: Yeah. I take all your recommendations seriously. I want to know why you like stuff.

Janine: So, if you liked me for that long, then what was the whole Taylor thing?
Gregory: You were in a multi-presidential-term relationship when...
Janine: Okay. But then I wasn't.
Gregory: Are we really about to do this?
Janine: And then Amber.
Gregory: Hey, she asked me out. And you was giving me nothing.
Janine: Kissing you was giving you nothing?
Gregory: You called it a whoops.
Janine: You could have said it wasn't a whoops.
Gregory: Look, I didn't think it was an accident or a mistake. Besides, you started dating Maurice. We were both all over the place. But we're here... Now.
