Janine: What happened to your walls?
Gregory: Oh, I took all the old teacher's stuff down. It just didn't feel like me, you know?
Janine: I know that if this feels like you, you might be a serial killer.
Gregory: I think it looks good. It's clean. I like clean.
Janine: Yeah, no, clean is good. It's just, you know, the walls are the soul of the classroom. You gotta put something up there. You know?
Gregory: Yeah. Okay. I'll, um... I'll think about that. Okay.
Janine: Yeah. Remember the walls. Let them speak from you to your kids. What kind of teacher are you? Who is Gregory?
[aside to camera:]
Gregory: Gregory is a Baltimore Ravens fan, a Grape Nuts fan - although, they can get a bit sugary - and a temporary teacher.

Janine: Oh, hey, Ava. Hey, hey, hey. So, it worked. Mrs. Howard got everything on her wishlist. We can take the video down now.
Ava: You want me to delete the most liked video I've ever created?
Janine: If you don't take the video down, I will quit. [Ava laughs] Okay. Fine. I won't quit. I love this job. But could you please take the video down?
Ava: This is like Beyoncé deleting "Lemonade."

Janine: Hey, Barbara, you know, you should make one of these videos. I know your class is short on resources. This could really help.
Barbara: You know, I actually submitted a list. Typed it up myself, and I left it with the young man at the front desk with the earring in his cheek.
Janine: Yeah, well, I mean, it could be really easy, though. It only takes seconds, and it's so effective. All you have to do is go, "Hi. I'm a teacher, and I need pens and paper and..." [Barbara struggles to staple paper] It looks like you might need a new stapler?
Barbara: We make do in my classroom, and my kids are just fine, and there's nothing wrong with my stapler.

Jacob: Oh. Whoa. That's not... You're not throwing that away, are you?
Mr. Johnson: The bloody paper towel or the Hustler magazine?
[Jacob reaches into the bag to retrieve the old printer]
Barbara: Oh, Lordy. Boy is in the trash.
Jacob: This is not trash.
Mr. Johnson: Yes, it is.
Jacob: We are so quick to throw things away, you know, always looking for, or... Or asking for new, new, new, new, new. Well, I'm gonna get this thing working and show you that, like our students, you can't give up on something just because it's easy. I mean, this is a perfectly good... Well, I can't find a brand name, but...
Mr. Johnson: Oh, I know what it's called. It's called trash.
[Jacob goes to place the old printer on the kitchen counter]
Barbara: Don't put that up there.

Janine: Did you notice that last part?
Jacob: That it rhymed?
Janine: Yeah. That was fun, right?
Jacob: I like it. I just... I'm not sure it's going to, you know, break through the noise. The Internet is very busy. You know, you're competing with alien conspiracies and animals that can sing, and it just... It... It's... it's missing that... that thing.
Janine: Huh. What thing?
Jacob: You know, that thing, where you look at something and you're like, "That's good."
Janine: Well, I'm adding a filter that's gonna rain glitter, so...
Jacob: That's not gonna compete with singing parrots. It just needs a little showmanship.

Janine: [on video] Hi. I'm Janine Teagues, and I teach second grade...
Ava: Ugh.
Janine: Well, I'm not on social media like that, so I don't have a lot of experience with...
Ava: Quality control? [chuckles] I'm kidding. [to camera] She know I'm playin'.
Janine: [on video] And that's why I, or more importantly, we...
Ava: I can get you a lot of views, and that's gonna mean a lot of supplies. But I'm gonna need complete creative control.
Janine: Mm, what does that mean?
Ava: I'm gonna take some photos, do a little video, and then I'll do my thing in post. Can you twerk? You don't look like you can, but I could be wrong.

Melissa: Wait. How many views do you have?
Janine: 20,000, and it just went up yesterday. My wishlist is almost totally full.
Barbara: Ooh, Janine, I'm happy for you.
Janine: Thank you. Also, Taye Diggs shared it.
Barbara: And I'm sure that's a good thing.
Janine: Very good.

Gregory: I decorated my room. You wanna come see?
Janine: Oh. Yes. Excuse me. I love a reveal. [chuckles] Let me see this.
Gregory: [off Janine's look] What? You don't like it?
Janine: No. It's... It's great. It's great. It's just... It feels a little like you went into an office supply store and bought the first five or six posters you saw. [chuckles]
[Gregory kicks the empty plastic bags under his disk]
Gregory: Those are really good stores. I, um... I-I got a whole tub of licorice. Would you like one?
Janine: No. Look, Gregory, this is a classroom, not an office. It's just missing a certain warmth. Those stores are great for, like, ink cartridges or whatever, but I wouldn't rely on them to represent me as a teacher. You know, is this really a reflection of you?
Gregory: Maybe the giraffe.
Janine: Yeah. M-Maybe so.

Janine: Oh, wow. That's neat.
Jacob: So much unnecessary packaging.
Melissa: Would you just enjoy something? You're gonna get an ulcer.

Janine: Gregory... these drawings are all of you. These kids have a real connection to you.
Gregory: They do?
Janine: Yes. Look, here you are hitting a home run.
Gregory: How did you...
Janine: There you are buying a donut at Dunkin' Donuts. There you are in a durag. And here you are teaching... on the moon.
Gregory: Yeah.
Janine: In a space durag.
Gregory: [laughs] Okay, so kids draw stuff. So what?
Janine: So, they like you.
