Janine: [laughs loudly] That's... Oh, sorry. I was just thinking about something Jacob said. It was zany, really. He said that someone likes me, which I don't think they do. But, you know, what's a surefire way to know if someone likes you?
Melissa: Well, who did Jacob say liked you?
Janine: Oh, I don't want to go into details.
Melissa: Yes, you do. You brought it up.
Barbara: And why are we talking about this? I thought you made a friend for this.
Mr. Johnson: [taunting] ♪ I know who it is ♪
Janine: Okay, you know what? You guys are right. Let's not talk about it.
Mr. Johnson: It's Gregory!

Gregory: I have something really important I need to ask you.
Janine: Okay.
Gregory: Did Jacob already tell you?
Janine: I mean, to be fair, he didn't mean to. He thought I knew already, which I didn't, so...
Gregory: Well, now that you do, what do you think? You think it's good enough?
Janine: That's a weird way to phrase it. I don't think it's about if it's good enough. I just think it's, you know... It's... it's complicated. That's what I'm stuck on.
Gregory: It's actually not that complicated.
Janine: But it is, though, Gregory. I mean, it also...
Gregory: It's ages 12 and up. How complicated could it be?
Janine: Wait... S... Mnh. Sorry. Wait. Just... Time out. What?
Gregory: It's... [pulls out Lego set] It's got a lot of pieces, but complicated it is not. See, Amber's allergic to real flowers, so it's a Lego set that you can build into a bouquet of flowers. But if you think it's too much or not enough...

Jacob: [whistling] So, I didn't mean to tell you, and I was feeling really bad about it at lunch, but then I happened to walk by and I saw that you were having a rather intense conversation, so if it went bad, don't blame me, because, again, I didn't mean to tell you, but if it went well, give me credit, because...
Janine: Do you want to shut up now so that I can tell you?
Jacob: Yes. Okay.

Janine: So, everything's fine. In fact, everything is more than fine because he really likes Amber. So I'm off the hook. In fact, there was never a hook. Or a line. Or even a boat. So... yay.
Jacob: I'm sorry. I thought... Wait. Are you sure?
Janine: Yes. And why be sorry? Everything's great. He got her an amazing gift, the most romantic Legos I've ever seen, so, obviously, he's really into her, which means he's obviously not into me.

Janine: Look, Donnie, um... Valentine's Day is our most confusing holiday. Look, I know you think you have feelings for me, but sometimes when we think we...
Donnie: Let me stop you. I don't think I like you anymore. It's not you. It's me.
Janine: Oh.
Donnie: There's someone else. [Donnie points back to a girl in the class, who makes the "I'm watching you" gesture to Janine] Can I have my Valentine back?
Janine: Of course. Yes. Of course. Heh! Whew.
Donnie: I see I'm not the only one.
Janine: These are the ones I'm gonna be giving out, but thank you.

Ava: So I was like, "Malcolm X? More like 'Malcolm Y we gotta be in this class so long?'" [laughter] [laughter stops]
Paul: Oh. Hey, Dad.
Ava: Paul and I were just discussing today's Black history lesson.
Tristan: And I bet it was better considering Mr. Hill wasn't teaching it.
Ava: Oh, he was teaching it, and he's gonna continue to. Don't judge him by the color of his skin or by the content of his class. Wow. I just made that up! [giggles]
Tristan: So you didn't listen to any of my concerns?
Ava: Why are you just now getting concerned? I found out in class that Jacob teaches about Black historical figures all year, not just February. Did you just start paying attention this month?
Tristan: Oh. I didn't know that.
Ava: Nor did I. Looks like we both learned something today. [chuckles softly]
Tristan: Son.
Paul: See you later.
Ava: What a shame. So hot, yet so very annoying.

Barbara: I purchased two tickets to Atlantic City on Spirit Airlines, so Gerald and I are good to go at Cibo's Bistro at the airport.
Melissa: Sweet.
Barbara: Mm. You're welcome to join us.
Melissa: Nope. Mnh-mnh.
Barbara: Oh, we don't mind. Heck, the tickets cost less than the meal. [chuckles]

Melissa: Hey. Look who finally decided to text. Are you kidding me? It's about work of all things. Gary wants me to take a picture of the vending machine to see if we're running low on Doritos. [cut to Melissa and Barbara entering the teachers' lounge] Yeah... I'm just making sure that...
Melissa: Aww! Gary!
Gary: Welcome to the coo-de-grass.
Melissa: Ohh! Well, it's "I..." I something you. "I... I owe you"?
Barbara: "I love you."
Melissa: I love you, too, Barb, but... Oh. Ohh! Is... Is this... You love me?
Gary: Yeah! I love the crap out of you.
Melissa: I love you, too, you big gavone! Don't ever scare me like that again!
Gary: I won't. I won't.
