Jacob Quote #38
Quote from Jacob in Gifted Program
Jacob: The chicken has an ovary and an oviduct, and as the female reaches maturity, these ova develop a few at a time into yolks. And when they hatch, what do we get? We get breakfast. Am I right? Served ova easy.
Boy: It's happening! They're hatching!
Janine: [gasps] Aww! Look at that. They're seeing that chickens don't just come from Crown Fried Chicken.
Jacob: [sings] ♫ I'm comin' out of retirement to save the environment ♫ ♫ I like farms 'cause they're rustic, but GMOs - don't trust it ♫
Boy: Ms. Teagues, I'm smart. Can I go to the chicken school?
All: Me too!
Jacob: [call and response] Franken...
Children: Food!
Jacob: Franken...
Children: Food!
Jacob: Very good.

Quote from Jacob
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.
Quote from Jacob
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. But, seriously, I loved the gifted program I was in growing up. I learned so much, and those experiences were priceless.
Jacob: I was in one, too. Yeah. I got to write my own musical rap parody about Monsanto. It was called "Mo' Santo, Mo' Problems." Yo, check it... [Barbara cuts Jacob off]
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.
