Melissa Quote #129
Quote from Melissa in Read-A-Thon
Melissa: Okay, guys, after re-running the numbers, it appears that Ms. Teagues' class read more books than us. [kids groan] Yeah, no, no. Don't get it twisted. Let's think about it. If you're in Ms. Teagues' class, are you really a winner? [laughter] Alright, don't repeat that. I just wanted to let you chipmunks know how proud I am of you, all the books you read. And when you walk out of this classroom, you keep your heads held high, 'cause, at the end of the day, all that really matters is, everyone's eating pizza.

Quote from Ava
Jacob: Anyways, here is something to go off of for Episode 1. But, you know, make it your own. Wherever the story takes you, go there.
Ava: Y'all be careful. That equipment ain't cheap. You think just anybody can start a podcast? Please!
[aside to camera:]
Ava: Oh, you haven't heard of the Coleman Podcast Network? It's a couple of Housewife recaps, Banana Mouth, my screenwriting-advice podcast, Catch These Fade Ins, not to mention my ASMR endeavors. [whispering] But Spotify made me take those down. [ASMR eating noises]
Quote from Jacob
Jacob: Janine! Did you see the big news?
Janine: Oh, my God. Did the multi-color pushpins come in?
Jacob: No. Well, I mean, yes, that is huge. But, uh, I got two sign-ups for after-school podcast club.
Janine: Oh! Two. Two? Wow! That... That's enough to tango.
Jacob: I cannot wait to get started. I'm picturing This American Life meets Pod Save America with the research of The Daily, the storytelling of The Moth, all while, like, redefining the form, à la Radiolab.
Janine: How many white podcasts do you listen to?
Jacob: Hundreds. I listen at triple speed, though, you know, to fit them all in. Actually, this conversation kind of feels like it's in slow motion. But I am so informed.
