Barbara Quote #48
Quote from Barbara in Zoo Balloon
Barbara: All right, children, get ready to see my favorite animal... The tuatara! It's a lizard that arrived here at the zoo the same year I started teaching. What? Where's... Oh, excuse me. Where's Duster?
Zoo Keeper: Oh, he's in a reserve. When the stimulation here gets to be too much, we retire them.
Barbara: Retire them? But he's been here as long as I've been coming.
Zoo Keeper: Cycle of life.
Barbara: Oh. Melissa, they have retired my Duster.
Melissa: Retired like my Uncle Anthony or retired like my Uncle Tony? [off Barbara's look] It's just a lizard, Barb.
Barbara: Duster is a tuatara. He is an institution that I have been coming here to visit for 30 years. He's been working as long as I have! Retirement?
Melissa: Okay, guys, let's give Mrs. Howard a minute. Move out.

Quote from Mr. Johnson
Mr. Johnson: [aside to camera] I love field trips. I get to do Mr. Johnson's Day Off. That's when I watch Ferris Bueller's Day Off, which is a movie about a depressed kid who murder his father's Ferrari.
[Ava takes a group of kids to Mr. Johnson's custodial closet:]
Ava: Mr. Johnson, sorry to interrupt whatever this is, but these kids need to stay with you.
Mr. Johnson: Well, looks like Ava switched this day from Ferris Bueller's Day Off to The Breakfast Club. Life moves pretty fast, and if you don't stop every once in a while to take a look, you might...
Ava: Missed one. [chuckles]
Mr. Johnson: Come on in.
Quote from Ava
Bird Trainer: And it helps with the search for food.
Ava: [grabs microphone] And that's why you don't feed a bird any meat, kids, because then they'll revert back into a T.
