Janine: [aside to camera] It looks like fun. I wish somebody would trace me. I think I'd be like 95% Family Matters re-runs and then 5% Dunkaroos.

Janine: I-I can't believe what I'm hearing. You know... 'Cause I-I-I can't like Gregory. 'Cause I like Maurice.
Barbara: Sweetheart, it is possible to like two people at the same time.
[aside to camera:]
Janine: This is wild. This cannot be a thing. You know, I am dating Gregory's friend Maurice, and Gregory's dating Amber. Plus, we work together. So, then what would happen? We see each other during the day and at night? We'd, you know, tell each other stuff and feel comfortable together? [chuckles] Like, share our deepest thoughts, and, you know... a life. It's gross, honestly. Just... blegh.

Janine: There's no need to feel bad. Look, even without what, you know, happened, something still wasn't quite clicking with Maurice. I mean, if it was, then I wouldn't have... kissed you, right?
Gregory: Right.
Janine: I'm going to go to Bone Town with Mo, and then I'm going to break up with him.
Gregory: Wow. Okay, well, that feels like too much information and also kind of cruel.
Janine: I know, but I figured if I got to do this, I might as well be full of meat and covered in sauce. [sighs]
Gregory: Oh, you mean the, um... The barbecue restaurant.
Janine: Yeah.
Gregory: Oh. Oh. Okay.

Janine: My sister and I are so excited to hang out, and it's gonna be different now because we're mature adults, you know? But as far as my mom knows, Ayesha is lost in the Rockies somewhere, okay? You guys ever seen that movie Into the Wild?
Gregory: For the eighth time, Janine, no.
Ava: [intercom beeps] Janine, that movie's nuts.

Janine: Well, you know what? You two might not have tickets to the NBA, but you do have floor seats to the JGA. Janine Game-Night Association. And- And there'll be floor seats because you'll probably be sitting on the floor. It's gonna be fun, and it's BYOBG.
Gregory: Bring your own... beer garden?
Jacob: Bubble gum?
Gregory: Baby giraffe?
Jacob: Big Gulp.
Gregory: Brittney Griner!
Jacob: Black Gregory?
Janine: What?! No. Bring Your Own Board Game. Real simple.
Jacob: Yeah.
Janine: Look, see you both there.

Janine: Oh, Nina, excellent sentence structure. Let me see. "My favorite movie is Toy Story, and my favorite character is Woody." Good. Mine too. Well, more of a Buzz girl. I love his ambition. Right, guys?
Girl: Yeah.
Janine: Okay, let's see. Uh, Brittany. "My favorite movie is American Gangster. Yep. And my favorite character is Frank Lucas." Okay. That is a great sentence. And I will be having a third talk with your mom about what you're watching at home.

Janine: Guys, the lights in the back hallway have been out for weeks.
Melissa: Thank you for the update.
Barbara: What are you wearing?
Janine: And we need to do something about it. Okay? Uh, uh, Melina, from your class... Yeah, she was afraid to come to school this morning. Said it looked like The Shining, and I don't even get how she knows that reference.
Melissa: She loves The Shining.
Jacob: It's a classic movie.

Janine: Whoa! You know what? That's the final straw. Do you two want to watch Toy Story tomorrow?
Joya: Which one? I can't do 3 again.
Janine: Alright, well, you're not gonna be watching any of them unless you guys find a way to settle this. If you're mature enough to make the graphic drawings, then you're mature enough to work this out. Find a solution or you'll be in the library for Movie Friday. And we are watching the first Toy Story. The third one makes me cry.

Children: Good morning, Ms. Teagues!
Janine: You know, Ms. Howard, you remind me so much of my favorite teacher from the third grade, Ms. Elliot. She was well-dressed, good with kids, a wizard with a glue gun...
Barbara: Thank you, Janine. That is very kind of you.
Janine: Yeah, I-I wanted to be just like her, actually. I was, like, obsessed with her. She wrote in my report card note, "Needs friends her own age. A bit clingy." She was a hoot.
Barbara: Yes.
Janine: Anyway, hey, did you get my e-mail about the two of us hanging together after school or...
Barbara: No. It must have gone to spam.
Janine: It's so crazy how my e-mails do that with you and nobody else.
Barbara: Uh... Class, turn around.
Janine: Bye, Mom... I'm sorry. Ms. Howard. Bye, Ms. Howard.

Janine: "Is your school sick? Try prescription rugs." [looks to camera] Classic.
