Janine Quote #55
Quote from Janine in Gifted Program
Janine: That sucks, how you had to come up, like, not thinking you're special. I mean, I really hope you don't carry that with you, because I think you're gifted. Just not as gifted as me. [both laugh]
Gregory: Oh, oh, is that so? Okay.
Janine: That is. That is so. Um, but, in all seriousness, Gregory, I was just thinking, um... do you need me to back your car out for you? Because I can do that. You know, I have the brain that it takes to...
Gregory: Alright, now, you have a good night. [both laugh]
Janine: Alright, see you later.
Gregory: I'll see you.
[aside to camera:]
Janine: I'm really happy Gregory's opening up. I mean, he's great, and it's really nice to have another friend at the school. ... What?

Jacob: I, for one, love the program. I feel like a blend of Robin Williams in Dead Poets Society and, well, Robin Williams in Patch Adams.
Gregory: Didn't all those kids in Patch Adams die of cancer?
Jacob: Well, the real cancer is ignorance.
Gregory: Mm, the real cancer is cancer.

Janine: [gasps] You know what? We should have a gifted program here. I mean, I need something for the kids in my class to do other than grade papers and... [off Barbara's look] I'm kidding.

Quote from Janine
Janine: [aside to camera] It'd be easy to just give up and not have a gifted program, but there was an acronym I learned in the one I was in... PIE... Perseverance, Ingenuity, and Effort. I love PIE. Even though I can't eat it, though. Hurts my tummy. [chuckles] But I did try it for many years. That's the perseverance part, which is why we should have a gifted program.
