Ava Quote #44
Quote from Ava in Gifted Program
Ava: Anyway, Malcolm has a bright future. I can already see him at the White House, thanking Ms. Ava Eva Coleman for turning him into the Oprah of Science.
Barbara: All you ever have to be is the Malcolm of Science, and that will be enough.
Janine: Mm-hmm.
Malcolm: Thank you.
Janine: Malcolm, would you like to go get some breakfast with the other kids?
Ava: Yes! Go get whatever your super brain needs. We have fish oils or whatever. Make way! Smart kid coming through. Don't look at him with your regular IQs.

‘Gifted Program’ Quotes
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.
