Quote from Jacob in Open House

Jacob: Darn it! I just have the same four cards.
Melissa: Are you frickin' kidding me?
Jacob: Does that mean I get all the chips? [smiles]
Melissa: What was that?
Jacob: What was what?
Melissa: That right there. That... that smirk.
Mr. Johnson: Yeah, he's definitely besmirked.
Melissa: You've played poker before, haven't you? [Jacob smiles] All right, you hustled me.
Jacob: Sorry. Yeah. I'm actually really good at poker. When I did Teachers Without Borders, we had a lot of free time, so we basically would just play cards... and have sex with each other.
Mr. Johnson: What's the name of that organization again?
Melissa: You know what? I'm not even mad. I'm impressed. I mean, I will get revenge on you, and you should look over your shoulder for the rest of your life, but... well done.

Superintendent Collins: Just stopping by for a quick tour.
Ava: Well, if you want to waste your time, fine by me. But you know if you got a problem, there's nothing you can do about it.
Superintendent Collins: It's my job to be here.
Ava: Well, I wouldn't want to cheat you out of a tour. [chuckles] I say that 'cause you cheated on your wife.

Quote from Ava in Step Class

Janine: Uh, [clears throat] what's the problem?
Ava: This royalty-free music is wack, and these moves are tired. Where'd you get this routine from? Barney?
Janine: The Big Book of Step.

Girl: Like Cardi?
Ava: Great minds. Let's move this to the floor. We gonna need some room.
[aside to camera:]
Janine: So, this is becoming like the crocodile-parakeet video. She's the crocodile.

Quote from Janine in Step Class

Janine: [aside to camera] I get that Ava hasn't historically been the most reliable, but she seems really excited about this, and I think we're gonna make a great team. Step's all about the fundamentals. She's the "fun," and I'm "damentals." Doesn't sound right.

Jacob: Yeah, mm-hmm. That checks out.

Janine: Barbara!
Barbara: I'm sorry, Janine, but that was actually very clever.

Quote from Ava in Work Family

Janine: Let's move on. "I once impersonated Jill Scott to get free bottle service at Xfinity Live!" [all look at Ava] You don't even look like Jill Scott.

Quote from Melissa in Work Family

Janine: It's a simple, fun game where we write down a little fact about ourselves on these cards, something you think no one else knows. Then the cards are shuffled, and we try to figure out who each secret belongs to. It's so fun.
Melissa: When do we get the chicken?
Janine: When you tell a secret.
Melissa: My cousin turned down the hit on Bobby Kennedy.
Janine: Not that kind of secret, and we write it down.

Quote from Ava in Work Family

Janine: Okay, so, I thought we all could play a little game to get to know each other better. [all sigh]
Ava: This text said that you had Danny Wok. That's the only reason I'm here, Dork Dash.
