Janine Quote #96
Quote from Janine in Open House
Janine: Not getting multiplication tables, difficulty telling time... They're things that can be worked on at home while we continue to work on them here. And I won't leave anyone behind, but I just need it to be a group effort.
Monica: I want to work together.
Janine: That's all I'm asking. You know, Nina's a smart kid. Like her mom. She just needs some extra attention from all of us at this stage, and once she gets that, she's gonna thrive.
Monica: She's so lucky to have you. Thank you.
Janine: Oh. [Monica hugs Janine] Oh. [the hug continues]
Monica: I hugged you, but... now it feels like you're hugging me.
Janine: Yeah. I think I need it.

Quote from Melissa
Melissa: Okay, I'm back. Had to show a couple of parents... how to get to another school. They were in the wrong place. [reshuffles cards] Oh, sorry, Mr. Johnson, I gotta do that. Last time I trusted someone else to shuffle, I lost a kidney.

Melissa: Okay! Just wait. I can't let you do this, kid. Why don't we just say we're playing for these chips and not real money?
Mr. Johnson: A bet is a bet. I gambled away my house, my car, and my subscription to Horse Fancy. No one ever said, "That's okay, Mr. Johnson. It was an honest mistake."

Superintendent Collins: Just stopping by for a quick tour.
Ava: Well, if you want to waste your time, fine by me. But you know if you got a problem, there's nothing you can do about it.
Superintendent Collins: It's my job to be here.
Ava: Well, I wouldn't want to cheat you out of a tour. [chuckles] I say that 'cause you cheated on your wife.
Superintendent Collins: I got it the first time.
Ava: Let me put on some Toni Braxton. You'll like this one. It's called... [echoing] "Love Shoulda Brought You Home"!
