Well, this isn't
a social visit.

I need you to keep your kids
out of my class.

if I common-law marry

to connect with him

to connect with the students,

using their names.

So you might consider
calling him Nick.

for the boy.

confuse little TJ.

y'all go to class.
348
00:12:03,473 --> 00:12:05,224
Did you see that?
Yes, and, you know,
349
00:12:05,224 --> 00:12:06,684
I really think
they would respect me more
350
00:12:06,684 --> 00:12:09,020
if you wouldn't make
so many jokes at my expense.
351
00:12:09,020 --> 00:12:10,313
I was talking
about Imani.
352
00:12:10,313 --> 00:12:11,773
Why she so late
on all my jokes?
353
00:12:11,773 --> 00:12:13,149
Oh, it's her
hearing aid.
354
00:12:13,149 --> 00:12:15,318
It has issues when
she's in a group setting,
355
00:12:15,318 --> 00:12:16,736
and so she uses
her tablet,
356
00:12:16,736 --> 00:12:19,197
which, you know,
takes a second to transcribe.
357
00:12:19,197 --> 00:12:20,406
But you can't learn
on a tape delay.
358
00:12:20,406 --> 00:12:22,492
And I must be
experienced live.
359
00:12:22,492 --> 00:12:24,160
I thought Janine was helping
with all of this.
360
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:25,954
I think it just
got too hard.
361
00:12:25,954 --> 00:12:28,289
For Janine? The person who got
a commercial driver's license
362
00:12:28,289 --> 00:12:30,083
so she could drive a bus
in case someone went down?
363
00:12:30,083 --> 00:12:32,543
Hell no.
364
00:12:32,543 --> 00:12:34,504
Ah, if it isn't
Joe Cool.

[ Chuckles ]

00:12:36,047 --> 00:12:37,590
We missed you
at the bar last night.
367
00:12:37,590 --> 00:12:40,051
I had a few too many
Aperol spritzes.
368
00:12:40,051 --> 00:12:42,303
I might need to take
a nap-erol spritz.
369
00:12:42,303 --> 00:12:44,138
You stole that joke
from Janine, didn't you?
370
00:12:44,138 --> 00:12:46,516
What, are you
the comedy police now?
371

[ Sobbing ]
I...hate... you... Mr. Eddie!

Sweetheart,
what is the matter?
373
00:12:52,563 --> 00:12:57,402
Mr. Eddie told Javon
that he should break up with me!
374
00:12:57,402 --> 00:12:59,153
No, no, no, no, no.
I did not say that.
375
00:12:59,153 --> 00:13:01,072
Well, what did
you say?
376
00:13:01,072 --> 00:13:03,741
Um, Javon was talking
about getting a new chain,
377
00:13:03,741 --> 00:13:06,577
so I told him that he should
just, you know, focus on school.
378
00:13:06,577 --> 00:13:07,954
He was gonna buy
a new chain?!
379
00:13:07,954 --> 00:13:10,373
Okay, are you
kidding me?!
380
00:13:10,373 --> 00:13:12,834
We've been trying to get Javon
to buy a new chain for months.
381
00:13:12,834 --> 00:13:14,294
The old one made him
like a gavone.
382
00:13:14,294 --> 00:13:16,921
We finally had him convinced
it was his idea.
383
00:13:16,921 --> 00:13:20,174
The devil's got her.
Be gone, Satan!

holy mop water.

from your incompetence

Mm!

Well, Gregory?
Is no?

Exactly.

more private right now.

No, you're not.

You just made me hang up
on a Nigerian prince!
402
00:14:09,348 --> 00:14:10,933
Why are you
in my classroom?
403

'Cause it's the only one
that's not bugged.

Why are you in here
hiding, anyway?

The kids keep coming in here
and talking about things

that I just don't feel
comfortable weighing in on.

I don't do that.

You'd think a man who's been
given a second chance at life

might want
to pay it forward.

important things
that they need my input on,

will the child's mother ever
be dropping off and picking up?

like four times.
518
00:18:16,721 --> 00:18:18,598
You see? He knows
it's dangerous.
Yeah.
519
00:18:18,598 --> 00:18:21,434
So after I read
that letter...
520
00:18:21,434 --> 00:18:23,728
I went through
every proper channel,
521
00:18:23,728 --> 00:18:26,814
and I just kept
coming up empty.
522
00:18:26,814 --> 00:18:28,482
But remember that
we brought you here
523
00:18:28,482 --> 00:18:31,402
because of your creative
problem-solving skills.
524
00:18:31,402 --> 00:18:34,572
The district never asks
how you did something,
525
00:18:34,572 --> 00:18:36,824
and look...
526
00:18:36,824 --> 00:18:38,576
you just gotta
get it done.
527
00:18:42,413 --> 00:18:43,956
It's worth it.
528
00:18:45,416 --> 00:18:47,501
[ Indistinct conversations ]
529
00:18:47,501 --> 00:18:50,254
[ Cellphone buzzing ]
530
00:18:50,254 --> 00:18:51,797
I'm guessing
you're going to be late?
531
00:18:51,797 --> 00:18:55,134
Yes, but I also need to ask you
something off the record.
532
00:18:55,134 --> 00:18:57,261
Is this about you being
Ava's mole at the district?
533
00:18:57,261 --> 00:18:59,138
I am not Ava's mole!
534
00:18:59,138 --> 00:19:00,640
Way to keep
your cover, girl.
535
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,808
I need you to send me
the contact information
536
00:19:02,808 --> 00:19:04,226
for Imani's parents.
537
00:19:06,479 --> 00:19:08,481
Your door's open?
538
00:19:08,481 --> 00:19:09,940
Yes.
539
00:19:09,940 --> 00:19:12,985
And if you still wanna
hang out in here, you can.
540
00:19:12,985 --> 00:19:14,820
But we're gonna do it
with boundaries.
541
00:19:14,820 --> 00:19:16,572
Number one--
I don't wanna hear anything
542
00:19:16,572 --> 00:19:18,866
about your relationships
or the word "females".
543
00:19:18,866 --> 00:19:20,826
Deal.
Your advice sucked.
544
00:19:20,826 --> 00:19:22,536
Fair enough.
545
00:19:22,536 --> 00:19:23,662
Also, we're not just gonna
sit around here and do nothing.
546
00:19:23,662 --> 00:19:24,664
We're gonna
be productive.
547
00:19:24,664 --> 00:19:26,374
Can we still fart, though?
548
00:19:26,374 --> 00:19:27,708
If you must.
549
00:19:27,708 --> 00:19:29,627
[ Sighs ] Good,
'cause I just did.
550
00:19:29,627 --> 00:19:32,546
[ All groan ]
551
00:19:32,546 --> 00:19:35,424
Sometimes big places
552
00:19:35,424 --> 00:19:38,636
make it hard
to get small things done.
553
00:19:38,636 --> 00:19:42,390
So to find the answer,
I had to get out of my office,
554
00:19:42,390 --> 00:19:45,684
stop filling out paperwork,
and go out on my own.
555
00:19:45,684 --> 00:19:49,355
I thought about how much the
district hates bad publicity,
556
00:19:49,355 --> 00:19:51,899
and somehow word
got to Imani's parents
557
00:19:51,899 --> 00:19:55,111
that if they gently threatened
to go to a reporter
558
00:19:55,111 --> 00:19:56,987
who has a bone to pick
with the district,
559
00:19:56,987 --> 00:19:58,322
we might see speedier results.
560
00:19:58,322 --> 00:19:59,240
And voilà.
561
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:00,950
All of a sudden, Imani has
562
00:20:00,950 --> 00:20:03,452
a qualified ASL interpreter
at Abbott.
563
00:20:03,452 --> 00:20:05,913
It's that last bit of effort
564
00:20:05,913 --> 00:20:09,708
that no one expects
that tends to mean the most.
565
00:20:09,708 --> 00:20:12,378
We don't get paid to care...
but we do it anyway.
566
00:20:12,378 --> 00:20:14,839
So the female stigma
collects pollen.
567
00:20:14,839 --> 00:20:15,923
You said "females".
568
00:20:15,923 --> 00:20:17,842
[ Laughter ]
569
00:20:17,842 --> 00:20:21,554
We do it for our co-workers,
our friends...
570
00:20:21,554 --> 00:20:23,806
and we do it for the kids.
571
00:20:23,806 --> 00:20:26,267
We do it for ourselves, too,
I guess,
572
00:20:26,267 --> 00:20:30,396
because much like Liam Neeson
in "Taken" 1, 2, and 3,
573
00:20:30,396 --> 00:20:32,815
we kinda can't help it.
574
00:20:34,525 --> 00:20:37,069
Still haven't seen any of them,
by the way.
575
00:20:39,321 --> 00:20:42,742
Hey. Uh, could I get a word
with you, Your Honor?
576
00:20:42,742 --> 00:20:44,243
You may approach
the bench.
577
00:20:44,243 --> 00:20:45,661
Okay, so, you know,
578
00:20:45,661 --> 00:20:47,496
with my firstborn son
coming here and everything,
579
00:20:47,496 --> 00:20:49,206
I think it's a good time
for me to step up,
580
00:20:49,206 --> 00:20:51,041
and, you know,
start a PTA.
581
00:20:51,041 --> 00:20:53,085
You, Tariq, want to start
a Parent Teacher Association?
582
00:20:53,085 --> 00:20:54,336
No, no, no, no.
583
00:20:54,336 --> 00:20:56,464
Uh, a Parent Tariq Alliance, actually.
584
00:20:56,464 --> 00:20:57,882
But what you said
sounds good.
585
00:20:57,882 --> 00:20:59,383
We should just call it that
and get people in the--
586
00:20:59,383 --> 00:21:02,261
Oh, damn.
Here go my childless ex.
587
00:21:02,261 --> 00:21:04,305
Janine, don't be trying to spin
the block on me today, okay?
588
00:21:04,305 --> 00:21:05,389
I got a family now.
589
00:21:05,389 --> 00:21:06,766
I am here for work.
590
00:21:06,766 --> 00:21:08,893
Yeah, more like working her way
back into your life.
591
00:21:08,893 --> 00:21:10,519
Exactly, period.
[ Chuckles ]
592
00:21:10,519 --> 00:21:12,646
So, uh, with me being
a new father and everything,
593
00:21:12,646 --> 00:21:15,441
I was thinking,
what if I start a PTA?
594
00:21:15,441 --> 00:21:18,861
No. Ava, the Parent Tariq
Alliance cannot happen, okay?
595
00:21:18,861 --> 00:21:19,862
What--
No.
596
00:21:19,862 --> 00:21:21,238
I see why
you broke up with her.
597
00:21:21,238 --> 00:21:22,448
Not what happened.
