Quote from Melissa in Ava vs. Superintendent
Barbara: Yeah, well, maybe this will be the year where the school board finally awards me that Advancement Grant that I have been applying to for years.
Melissa: They will if we make them. Just like a little... gentle arm-twisting.
Barbara: A little arm twist never hurt.
Melissa: [gasps] This is so exciting. Oh, my God. I'm gonna go to the mall right after school and get a new shakedown sweater.

‘Ava vs. Superintendent’ Quotes
Quote from Melissa
Janine: So we get the funding we need?
Superintendent Collins: No, of course not. As long as Ava's at Abbott and I'm the superintendent, you never will. She blackmailed me. It's kind of hard to get over being blackmailed.
Melissa: You know, he's not wrong. I haven't spoken to my blackmailer in two years. Do I miss my sister? Yeah, every day.
Quote from Barbara
Barbara: Well, my suggestion to all of you is to enjoy your free periods while you can. Because music class will be going bye-bye-bye like Blackstreet Boyz II Men.
Janine: Mm, mnh, no. Wrong in like three ways.
Quote from Barbara
Barbara: I know we need the money. And I have applied for that Advancement Grant for 10 years now. I just don't want to compromise my morals to get it.
Jacob: Look, while I admire that you've applied years in a row, have you heard that saying about the definition of insanity?
Barbara: Have you ever heard the saying that I will pop you upside your head if you imply that I am insane?
