Ava Quote #124
Quote from Ava in Ava vs. Superintendent
Ava: So, what do you think?
Janine: I think... I don't think this is what the school board is looking for.
Ava: [sighs] Damn it! I knew it. [sighs] I thought I could just hit 'em with the ol' razzle dazzle. These are the parts about being a principal that I'm not good at.
Janine: Interesting. What parts would you say you are good at?
Ava: This isn't the time for jokes, Janine. This is the first time in my life that I won't be able to charisma my way out of the situation. This is the first job that I've liked in my life. I don't wanna lose it.
Janine: Okay. Well, what if we find a way to combine your charisma with what the school board is actually looking for?
Ava: That's the point... I don't know. I'm not some nerd, got somebody showing me the ropes and giving me advice and putting up with my near-constant hijinks.

Quote from Melissa
Janine: So we get the funding we need?
Superintendent Collins: No, of course not. As long as Ava's at Abbott and I'm the superintendent, you never will. She blackmailed me. It's kind of hard to get over being blackmailed.
Melissa: You know, he's not wrong. I haven't spoken to my blackmailer in two years. Do I miss my sister? Yeah, every day.

Janine: Mm, mnh, no. Wrong in like three ways.
Quote from Barbara
Barbara: I know we need the money. And I have applied for that Advancement Grant for 10 years now. I just don't want to compromise my morals to get it.
Jacob: Look, while I admire that you've applied years in a row, have you heard that saying about the definition of insanity?
Barbara: Have you ever heard the saying that I will pop you upside your head if you imply that I am insane?
