Abbott Elementary
Wednesdays 9:00 PM on ABCAbbott Elementary Quotes
Janine: These new district people...they smile in your face, and tell you your ideas are good...but they suck, right?
Barbara: You know, I can't believe I'm going to say this, but I actually have hope for this new group. I think they can make change.
Manny: You don't trust us, do you?
Barbara: Honestly? No. I've seen many versions of you walk through that door, all with nice smiles, appearing to care.
Janine: I can't be away from my classroom for that long. I want to cry just thinking about it.
Jacob: You actually are crying.
Gregory: What did you do over the break?
Janine: I just spent a lot of time with myself. And it was good for me! I feel...sure, centered, good.
So, yeah. I work for the school district now. You guys missed a lot.

More than 80% of the ocean has never been explored by humans. Aliens might already be here drinking Mai Tais and using the Indian Ocean as a lazy river.

Maurice: So, for clarity. You don’t think you were being selfish?
Janine: No.
Maurice: So it’s normal for you to invite a guy to his favorite barbecue restaurant just to break up with him in front of his friend who you kissed but didn’t actually date?
Janine: I didn’t think of it that way.
Jacob: You two have done everything but tell each other how you feel. You have to tell her how you feel.
Gregory: There’s no real going back after that, is there?
Jacob: Nope. But there might be a lot of good stuff on the other side.
I’m okay. Really. I’m happy I put it out there and even if it didn’t go how I wanted. And Jacob was right. There’s some good stuff on the other side. It’s time to plant something new.
Gregory
Volunteer: Have you ever thought about volunteering?
Melissa: Work for free? Ha! Yeah, you’re really not from Philly, are you, hon?
I think I did the right thing. I want to continue the path I’m on. I actually think selfish is good for me, for now. Gregory is great. He’s the greatest, actually. I guess I’m not ready for him, but that’s okay. I’m okay.
Janine
Janine: I’m happy Ava paired us up as group buddies.
Gregory: Now, don’t ever leave us behind. I need you to have my back in case someone casts an ancient spell and all of the exhibits come to life. I’m counting on those tiny fists for very precise blows.
Janine: Wait, so you did watch Night at the Museum?
Gregory: Yeah, I take all of your recommendations seriously. I want to know why you like stuff.
