Abbott Elementary (2021–present) is an American mockumentary school comedy, airing on ABC, about a group of teachers brought together in one of the worst public schools in the country, simply because they love teaching.
Career Day, Part 1 [3.01]
Barbara: They're not all bad.
Jacob: I think they're cool.
Ava: Mnh.
Gregory: I actually like them this year.
Melissa: Shocking.
Ava: I don't know. I feel like they've been unequivocally and universally worse than they've ever been. From unhelpful to unbearable.
Janine: Good morning, Abbott Elementary!
Barbara: Ava! Your needed in the gym!
Melissa: Yeah, there's a bunch of teachers in there saying Princeton's better than Harvard.
Ava: OH HELL NO!
[Ava runs out of the office.]
Melissa: Okay, we have like two minutes so can you please fill us in on the rest of this genius plan?
Barbara: Ava said she stopped listening to the Town Women.
Gregory: City Girls.
Barbara: But I know there's one song she cannot resist. Jacob, whip out the Walkman.
Jacob: Phone.
Barbara: Open up Napster.
Jacob: Spotify.
Barbara: Jesus, close your ears. Come on.
[Ava runs into the gym.]
Ava: Princeton is the Temple University of the Ivies!
Barbara: Now Mr. Johnson!
Mr. Johnson: Let go of your butts!
[The lights turn on and Juvenile's "Back That Azz Up" starts playing with Ava dancing]
Career Day, Part 2 [3.02]
Melissa: Yeah. Okay, class, uh... Ms. Schemmenti's gonna step outside for a sec. Guys, watch 'em, okay?
Janine: Oh, you guys don't have to do that.
Jalen Hurts: Heads down, thumbs up. Time to play seven up!
Janine: They actually listened. Have you ever considered teaching?
Jalen Hurts: Uh... y'all hiring? I mostly work on Sundays.
Gregory's Garden Goofballs [3.03]
Barbara: Good morning. Good morning. (Gasps) Good morning.
Tariq: Good morning Mrs. Howard.
Barbara: Tariq.
Tariq: Huh?
Barbara: What are you doing here? Janine's down at the district now.
Tariq: Dang, she moved to D.C.?
Barbara: And take your presumably sticky hands off of my student.
Tariq: You mean take my definitely sticky hands off of my son.
Barbara: To quote Maury Povich, you are not the father.
Tariq: And to quote the hip-hop legend Shaquille O'Neal, his biological didn't bother. See, I've been dating his mama for like seven weeks, so technically, I'm a stepdaddy right now. Ain't that right, Tariq Jr.?
Smoking [3.04]
Melissa: Mm.
Melissa and Captain Robinson: Childhood.
Captain Robinson: Nah, but this is a real problem.
Gregory: Mm-hmm.
Janine: Yeah.
Melissa: Oh, yeah, absolutely. Where did you even get a cigarette?
Ava: Yeah, what you, a French child?
Curtis: The guy around the corner sold it to me for a dollar.
Ava: A dollar? Inflation is crazy. But you are in big trouble, because cigarettes are banned.
Curtis: Not on any of the signs I saw.
Jacob: What?
Kid 1: It just seems like most drugs aren't that bad.
Caroline: Fine, you can smoke a little! Just don't do opioids.
[Everyone shakes their head in disagreement]
Kid 1: My grandfather is on opioids.
Caroline: Drugs from a doctor are okay.
Kid 2: My mom's on Valtrex.
Caroline: That's fine, your mom has herpes.
Everyone: HEY!
Ava: Lady, are you high?!
Breakup [3.05]
Mr. Johnson: We used to be the Three Musketeers. But now I'm one musketeer, and they're just two, that don't invite me to things.
Ava: Ooh, ooh.
Willard R. Abbott [3.06]
Jacob: Look, guys, I don't know. She just said she's dropping by with a special surprise.
Melissa: Yeah. Plus this is Philly. I mean, you can't hock a loogie without hitting something historic around here.
Librarian [3.07]
Barbara: I just don't feel good about you giving out your address to strangers online. It's not safe.
Barbara: You and Jacob living together is I know it's God's will, but he's gotten awfully creative.
Panel [3.08]
Barbara: Give me the ball. Three, four, five. And shoot!
Tariq: Alright. Well, uh, that's gonna bring Abbott's score to a negative-2 at the bottom of the first, y'all. Educator of the year, folks. Ugh. We are not just losing. We are getting smoked. You cannot lose a panel. This is like every other panel that's ever existed.
Alex [3.09]
Janine: As you all know, my fellowship at the district is coming to an end.
Ava: Ooh, girl, don't remind me. My doomsday countdown clock is set to the day that you're back.
Janine: Stop.
Gregory: You know, we make a really good team.
Janine: Yeah, we do.
2 Ava 2 Fest [3.10]
Ava: We all know the real reason you came back is to see Questlove.
Janine: Ava, Questlove is not coming here.
Ava: Ava Fest, on the other hand, is going to be special. I just have to come up with a way to take it over the top. A way to make it unhinged.
Melissa: Have you ever tried just being hinged?
Emily: There will be cake, there will be fun.
Simon: There will be blood oaths!
Double Date [3.11]
Ava: I have an exciting announcement, Abbott. Today is the long-anticipated return of one of our faves, cinnamon buns in the cafeteria.
Students: Good morning.
Janine: Hey, Alex.
Barbara: Book club was Ava's idea.
Mother's Day [3.12]
Man: Make some noise!
Vanetta: Hey, girl.
Mr. Johnson: Barbers. I hate 'em. Who do you think did this to me?
Smith Playground [3.13]
Melissa: Look at 'em. Those Liberty kids keep cutting our kids in line.
Jacob: She was being rude. I get it now.
Party [3.14]
Ava: Last but not least.
Janine: Where is it?!
Barbara: I am the captain now!
