Gregory Quote #92
Quote from Gregory in Egg Drop
Janine: Jacob is right. That Mr. Morton's got a real attitude. He will not put on another egg drop event.
Gregory: You know you can do an egg drop event without him, right?
Janine: That's not the point. Look, I've faced so many Mr. Mortons and there are so many Mr. Mortons in this world, and I want my kids to face them now. And I want to shield them with the best defense... Positivity.
Gregory: Janine, your kids are lucky to have a teacher who believes in them as much as you do. But maybe sometimes, possibly, you could come at it with, like, so much positivity that it's... toxic. Mr. Morton's science is just too advanced for them. Those are the facts.
Janine: Ugh! I know. I spiraled.
Gregory: Happens to all of us, but it happens to you a lot, huh?
Janine: So now I have to tell my kids that I messed up and that they can't do anything they put their minds to?
Gregory: It's the truth, and the truth is science. Isn't it our job to tell them the truth? [Janine nods] That was, like, a serious question. I-I haven't been here very long, I don't know the answer to that. Should I be lying more?

Quote from Barbara
Barbara: [aside to camera] As a good Christian woman, I would never mark my body with such an obscenity. I don't even believe in saying that word out loud. Ugh. My favorite "B" word? Barbara. Oh! Bible. [gasps] Blessing. Blueberries.
Quote from Ava
Barbara: Ava, I'm surprised. You actually have a problem with this?
Ava: Sure do, but it's about placement not the content. The clavicle is such a powerful bone. Why take attention away from it? Keep the tattoos to the tatas. That's hot.
Barbara: How could anyone find this tata tattoo hot? Much less appropriate?
Ava: Well, it's a generational thing, Barb. Women her age grew up with Lil' Kim, Foxy Brown, and Eve.
Melissa: Mm-hmm.
Barbara: And I grew up with Adam and Eve. And maybe all this young woman needs is a little guidance. Heh.
Ava: Barb wouldn't be offended by my tattoos, unless she speaks Mandarin. Chinese people hate my tattoos.
Quote from Mr. Johnson
Melissa: While we're here, I'm not sure I believe the moon landing happened.
Mr. Johnson: I don't believe in the moon.
Jacob: I believe that gluten intolerance is just internalized white guilt.
Mr. Johnson: Gluten isn't real!
Ava: Stevie Wonder ain't blind.
Melissa: You know, Bill Gates...
