Season 5, Episode 21 - Aired May 9, 2018

Quote from Pops
Erica: You know what? Who wants to sit in a lame dorm when it's parents' weekend? There's a faculty mixer and Frisbee golf in the quad.
Pops: There's even an improv show. Wouldn't mind sharing a few laughs with Yuk Yuk Goose. Oh, no, forget it.
Quote from Coach Mellor
Jackie: Okay, guys, no more fluff pieces. I want hard-hitting stories, shocking exposes, and fiery op-eds. What do you got?
Dan: The price of tater tots in the cafeteria has skyrocketed. Where's all that extra dough going?
Jackie: Good. Follow the money. Next!
Dave Kim: I can tackle the recent scandal in Coach Mellor's health class.
Coach Mellor: Hey, nobody told me I had to do a whole unit on weenies!
Quote from Coach Mellor
Jackie: Oh, we're printing this, Coach. It's called freedom of the press.
Coach Mellor: I do love freedom. Damn it, you can proceed.
Quote from Adam
Dave Kim: Since when are you political, bro?
Adam: Since never, Dave Kim! That was an ad for my Mel Brooks Club. I've always been aggressively non-political, mostly 'cause it's boring and bums me out.
Quote from Adam
Mr. Glascott: No kids in the teachers' lounge. This is where we go to be regular people.
Adam: I I need a place to hide out. People are trying to engage me about politics.
Quote from Beverly
Beverly: Okay, okay, no need to panic. I will just do my mama thing and threaten whoever's responsible.
Quote from Erica
Erica: Mom, this isn't high school. There's no way to fix this.
Beverly: Trust me, Mama can fix anything.
Erica: I don't even have books or a meal plan anymore. I cashed it all in to fund our band's demo.
Beverly: Mama can fix that.
Erica: But I don't even have a room next year.
Beverly: Mama can fix that.
Erica: I skipped the housing lotto for a gig in New York.
Beverly: [quietly] Mama can fix it.
Erica: I also skipped finals, which isn't ideal because I'm already on academic probation, which means I'm more failing out than dropping out.
Beverly: Mama can fix-
Erica: I also never wear flip-flops in the shower, so my feet are not good.
Beverly: Oh, for [bleep] sake, Erica!
Quote from Adam
Adam: Hey, guys? Sorry to interrupt your Tetris-ing, but I'm trying my hand at political satire, and I could really use a little feedback.
Barry: What you got?
Adam: Okay, so, my first one's all about how people protest injustice. So then I thought, "You know who's really got it bad? Pizza." And you know who's always eating pizza? The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. So, the slices, like, rise up in protest.
Barry: Oh, this is good.
Adam: I knew it.
Barry: This is real good.
Quote from Barry
Geoff: Uh, what What is this for, exactly?
Adam: I'm having dinner with Jackie's parents and have to show them that I'm a smart guy who knows stuff about the world and politics and junk.
Geoff: Oh, boy. You're gonna need some others.
Adam: For sure! See, here we got lasagna protesting Garfield.
Barry: 'Cause he loves lasagna. Slam dunk, dude.
Geoff: Um, do you have any different concepts aside from a food protesting the thing that eats it?
