Janine: Ava made... I asked Ava to make a video to promote your wishlist because it worked for me, and I knew your class needed stuff. And it got a lot of attention, clearly, because it was a bit over-the-top.
Barbara: How far over-the-top?
Janine: Really, really over-the-top. Like, if you went to the top, you wouldn't be able to find it, 'cause it was way up there. I'm sorry. I just wanted you to have all the tools you deserve and that your kids deserve.
Barbara: My kids don't have half the supplies they need most of the time, but they don't need to know that.
Janine: Yeah, but I saw your kids painting with empty water colors. It's our job...
Barbara: Our job is to build them up, make them confident. Is it nice to have stuff? Sure. But my students do not need to feel less than because they do not have stuff. So, we talk about what they do have, not about what they don't.
Janine: [exhales deeply] That was a painfully well-said reality check. So, um, are you gonna give the stuff back?
Barbara: Oh, hell no. [chuckles] I'm keeping all of that. Besides, do you know how expensive those staplers are?
Janine: They're so expensive.
Barbara: And thank you for trying. Your hyperactive little heart was in the right place.

Janine: Hey, Gregory, um, I just wanted to apologize for inserting... myself... Wha... This looks amazing.
Gregory: I think it looks good, too. Yeah, I still don't know what kind of teacher I want to be, but I think I want to stay around and figure it out. Plus, the kids probably want to see their art on the wall. This is a, um, interesting piece.
Janine: That is you as a businessman.
Gregory: Really?
Janine: Yes.
Gregory: Okay, 'cause I thought I was a building. I'm... I'm really bad at this.
Janine: Mm. No. Um, the trick is if you see, like, a really big circle, that's usually the head. And if you see bananas, those are usually fingers. So, yeah.
Gregory: Oh, yeah! Yeah. Okay.
Janine: Yes. I'm really, really good at deciphering this stuff, so I'll help you.

Jacob: [sips loudly] Pencils, erasers, left-handed scissors... Oh, you got some southpaws in your class. You know, there's actually a lot...
Janine: Jacob. Please. I'm just trying to inventory my needs.

[aside to camera:]
Janine: So, it's wishlist week here at Abbott Elementary. The city doesn't always give us the funding we need for our supplies. I know I keep saying that, but it keeps being true. It's not like we have nothing. We, uh, clip old pictures out of magazines from the barbershop down the street. Uh, the whole wishlist thing makes it very easy for the community to help.
[cut to:]
Old Lady: Hello.
Janine: Hi.
Old Lady: I heard about your needs over here, so I would like to donate this to the school.
Janine: Oh, um, thank you, but we actually put specific items on our online wishlist, which you can find...
Old Lady: I don't know what that is. Here. Top of the line. Enjoy.
Janine: Okay. Um, you know what? It's actually very nice, now that I look at it. [chuckles] Yeah. I love it.
Old Lady: Sometimes you need to unplug it, then plug it back in. Couldn't find the cord.
Janine: Okay.
Old Lady: It also smokes. [old woman exits] Okay.
Mr. Johnson: The trash?
Janine: Yeah.

Janine: Knock, knock. I don't know why I said that. It's weird when you think about it. You don't say "pull" when you open a door. [Janine and Gregory chuckle] Um, I just wanted to know if I could borrow your projector for a little pro-ject that I'm doing. Making a wishlist video for my classroom supplies, which, by the looks of things, you could use.

Jacob: I got out all the old cords from the computer room. I mean, one of them's gotta fit this thing.
Janine: Hey, can I show you what I've made so far? My video? I know you have ethical objections to... well, everything, but you're more Internet-y than I am, so...
Jacob: Um, yeah.
Janine: Okay. Alright. Let me start from the beginning.
Janine: [on video] Hi. I'm Janine Teagues, and I teach... See how I spelled my name out in the back on the projector on the wall?
Jacob: Hmm. Mm-hmm.
Janine: [on video] ...needs school supplies. What do we need? Tape, right-handed scissors...
Janine: So, I'm going to, like, put the items over my head - pictures - and, um, as soon as I learn how to do that. And you get the idea.

Janine: Hey, Barbara.
Barbara: Mm-hmm?
Janine: Have you gotten anything on your list yet?
Barbara: I don't think so. And yet, the day moves on. Sometimes the Lord gives a lot, and then sometimes, He does not.
Janine: Yeah. Well, you know, I'm gonna have a bunch of extra stuff, if you need anything, in case the Lord cheaps out. Also, it's not too late to make a video. It's just...
Barbara: Janine, I am just fine.
Janine: Okay.
Barbara: And if you'll excuse me, I have shapes to grade.

Girl: Look. I drew a picture of you.
Gregory: Oh, wow. Okay, what am I? I'm a cowboy?
Girl: No. It's a picture of you playing baseball.
Gregory: Oh, right. Yeah, I can see him running the bases.
Girl: No, you're hitting a home run.
Gregory: Of course. Yes. Well, thank you.

Jacob: [to printer] I will find another use for you. What could you be? What could you be?
Mr. Johnson: Could be trash.

Barbara: Wait a minute. There is a tiny, little printed note.
Janine: Oh, why don't you let me read that for you, Barbara?
Barbara: "I know you only requested one, but I wanted to get enough for the whole class. You deserve it."
Melissa: So many aprons.
Barbara: Yes! You know the Lord works in mysterious ways, and He is good!
Janine: Yes. He is good! I think He's great... And this school's great, and this box is great. Barbara, you're great, and most importantly, it's great for the kids, so we got everything we need. Yay! Whoo! Yeah.
Barbara: You okay?
Janine: Yeah, I'm good.
