Quote from Janine in Open House
Monica: Hey, I'm...
Janine: Nina's mom, yeah. The open house closed at 8:00. It's 8:30, so, no, sorry, you missed it.
Monica: I know, but...
Janine: No buts. I've been trying to get you in this classroom all year. You had plenty of time to get here.
Monica: If you'll let me exp...
Janine: I'm tired of excuses. You weren't here when you said you would be. Your kid's having trouble, and are you there for them? No. You're doing whatever you want because the whole world revolves around you.
Monica: But...
Janine: Just be there for your kid. It's not fair that they have to be more of a grown-up than you are, and the only time you reach out is when you ask for a Disney+ login.
Monica: Um, I have my own login. And I was stuck in the E.R. There was a guy with a bullet in his groin, and I thought it'd be a good idea to stick around and help him get it out. Is that okay with you?
Janine: Yeah, yeah. No, that's okay. That's fine with me.

Quote from Melissa
Melissa: Okay, I'm back. Had to show a couple of parents... how to get to another school. They were in the wrong place. [reshuffles cards] Oh, sorry, Mr. Johnson, I gotta do that. Last time I trusted someone else to shuffle, I lost a kidney.
Quote from Mr. Johnson
[After studying his hand, Jacob goes to slide all his chips in]
Melissa: Okay! Just wait. I can't let you do this, kid. Why don't we just say we're playing for these chips and not real money?
Mr. Johnson: A bet is a bet. I gambled away my house, my car, and my subscription to Horse Fancy. No one ever said, "That's okay, Mr. Johnson. It was an honest mistake."

Ava: [over P.A.] Principal A-A-Ava, son! Another one! Check out this oldie but goodie by my guy Ginuwine! It's called "Pony," y'all! And he ain't talking about a horse! ["Pony" plays over P.A.] Superintendent Collins, you showed.
Superintendent Collins: Just stopping by for a quick tour.
Ava: Well, if you want to waste your time, fine by me. But you know if you got a problem, there's nothing you can do about it.
Superintendent Collins: It's my job to be here.
Ava: Well, I wouldn't want to cheat you out of a tour. [chuckles] I say that 'cause you cheated on your wife.
Superintendent Collins: I got it the first time.
Ava: Let me put on some Toni Braxton. You'll like this one. It's called... [echoing] "Love Shoulda Brought You Home"!
