Barbara Quote #77
Barbara: I know you didn't mean to ruin my day, Janine.
Janine: But I did.
Barbara: You did. I tried to tell you no, but you wouldn't listen. All day long I have 5-year-olds asking me why this, why that. I do not have the time for a bunch of 20-somethings doing the same thing.
Janine: I hear you. I do. But, Barbara, we need to know the why. If you just tell us the answer, we'll never learn how to solve the problems. We need you to show your work, too. Look, when you were first starting out, didn't you have someone who, like, walked you through everything and showed you the tricks of the trade?
Barbara: I did not.
Janine: Oh. Okay. I can't believe that they won't come out for a week just because we have one working bathroom left. Phew.
Barbara: Janine, now is when you fix something. When it's broken. You see how that works?
Janine: I mean [chuckles] yeah, unless you're the city.
Barbara: I will be right back. Watch my class. Thank you. Excuse me.

‘Juice’ Quotes
Quote from Gregory
Janine: Yes, it's less sugar. It's better all around. It's a really easy low-lift win for our kids. So what do you guys think?
Gregory: Less sugar is compelling. I'm not really a big fan of juice. I prefer nature's juice... Water.
Quote from Ava
Jacob: I had to go over to the corner store and they wouldn't give me the bathroom code without a purchase, so I panic-bought some scratchers.
Melissa: [takes scratchers] Come on, early retirement.
Ava: Yeah, same. So terrible. Couldn't pee anywhere all day. It was bananas.
[Ava is followed by the documentary crew as she leaves the teachers' lounge, opens a door, walks down some stairs and enters a code into a keypad, before opening the door of a luxurious bathroom]
Ava: I know y'all didn't think I was using them little kiddie toilets up there. [soothing music plays] Unh-unh. No cameras in the bathroom. But if you're wondering if I have a bidet, you bet I bi-do.
Quote from Jacob
Jacob: I saw an unfamiliar man milling about the rack this morning.
Ava: Okay, well, what did he look like?
Jacob: ... U-Uh, I would say he had a, you know, somewhat curly and spherical haircut.
Ava: An afro?
Jacob: It was... Some might call it... You know what, this feels reductive.
Ava: No, no, no! No, let's get to the bottom of this. Would you describe this person as someone who might have difficulty getting a loan?
Jacob: You know what? It's fine. [laughs] Was it really ever my bike, anyways? You know, does anyone really own anything? I will, uh, leave you to ponder that query, and, uh, adieu. [drops bike helmet in the Lost and Found box] I suppose I won't be needing this. [Ava laughs]
