‘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.

Janine: Mm, mnh, no. Wrong in like three ways.

Barbara: Have you ever heard the saying that I will pop you upside your head if you imply that I am insane?
