Vanetta: Come on, baby. Yeah, you too good for this place, baby. That lady... I mean, is that who's teaching our youth, nosy-ass, judgy-ass over-steppers? [chuckles] I mean, that's crazy. Because I'm down there, minding my own business, and then she go calling bitches broke. And I'm like, "Excuse me?" Yeah, see, see, you only caught the tail end.
Janine: Mm-hmm.
Vanetta: Yeah, she like, "You broke and deadbeat." And I'm like, "How can a mother be deadbeat?" I carried you in my body. Ugh. Anyway, then she squared up.
Janine: Barbara Howard squared up?
Vanetta: She sure did, talking about she from North Philly. I said so, I'm from West. What's good?
Janine: Hmm.
Vanetta: Then she gonna switch it up and try to give me a handout.
Janine: Hmm.
Vanetta: Something ain't right with her.

[aside to camera:]
Janine: Today's the big field trip to the Franklin Institute, which is my favorite museum of science and technology.
Gregory: And it's a sleepover.
Janine: Yes, our first sleepover. [off Gregory's look] Because neither of us has ever done a sleepover before.
Gregory: With teachers.
Janine: And the kids.
Gregory: Everyone.
Janine: Everyone's going to be there.
Gregory: There's going to be a lot of people there.
Janine: Yeah.
Gregory: Yeah.
Janine: Yeah.

Janine: I'll be back for her, and I have some spare clothes for him in my room. I will get him changed and then send him back to you, alright?
Gregory: Oh, w-wait. What was your name?
Janine: Oh. Silly me. I'm Janine. So, nice to meet you. [offers hand] Oh, sorry, pee.
Gregory: There's vomit.
Janine: Yeah. Um, make a wish. [both laugh] Okay, welcome to our school.
Gregory: Okay. Thanks.
Janine: It's okay. Everyone pees, you know?
[aside to camera:]
Gregory: Yeah, that was disgusting, but she seems nice. Is that me? [sniffs]

Janine: And then, Tariq said, "Let's get ready to rumbly!" [chuckles] Because my tummy was rumbly. It was funny. [chuckles]
Melissa: Oh, my God. Are those pork rinds? [Barbara walks away]
Janine: W... [chuckles] I know. I've been talking about my ex too much. [sighs] Jacob tells me I sound like a lesbian. I'm working on it.
Melissa: No. Not that. I mean, yeah, you do, but this food. You eat like you took a cooking class in prison.
Janine: You know, it's funny you say that, because my play cousin Meechie just got out and taught me this. It's so delicious and cheap.

Janine: It's not about money. My mom never taught my sister or I how to cook.
Mr. Johnson: So everybody just got a sister now?
Janine: Tariq used to do the cooking. He used to say, "Call me Chef Tariq-riq, 'cause when you cook, it stink-stink."
Melissa: You know no one's making you tell these stories, right?
Janine: I know.
