1
00:00:01,223 --> 00:00:03,729
Greetings and saaaaluuutations...
2
00:00:03,754 --> 00:00:06,422
Not today, Jacob. This morning
is already on my last nerve.
3
00:00:06,458 --> 00:00:08,357
I tried to take a picture of
this woman's crooked lace front,
4
00:00:08,393 --> 00:00:10,025
dropped my phone, cracked it.
5
00:00:10,061 --> 00:00:11,994
I asked her to pay for it, she
said she gonna call the cops.
6
00:00:12,029 --> 00:00:15,231
I am one minor inconvenience
from putting this whole day in rice.
7
00:00:15,266 --> 00:00:17,400
Oh, been there. Sort of.
8
00:00:17,435 --> 00:00:20,002
Well, let me improve your day
with a tasty offering.
9
00:00:20,037 --> 00:00:21,236
I made carrot cookies.
10
00:00:21,261 --> 00:00:23,339
- You mean carrot cake?
- As if.
11
00:00:23,374 --> 00:00:26,902
Carrot cookies... made with
carrots and carrot juice.
12
00:00:27,112 --> 00:00:29,945
Mnh, no, just looking at them
almost put me over the top.
13
00:00:29,981 --> 00:00:31,380
- Janine? Can I tempt you?
- Yeah.
14
00:00:31,416 --> 00:00:33,116
They're made with salvaged oat pulp.
15
00:00:33,151 --> 00:00:34,717
Those look alive.
16
00:00:34,752 --> 00:00:36,218
Well, yeah. That's the probiotics.
17
00:00:36,253 --> 00:00:37,419
Uh, you know what?
18
00:00:37,454 --> 00:00:39,221
I probably shouldn't
on an empty stomach, so...
19
00:00:41,626 --> 00:00:42,925
I didn't know we were
having a fire drill today.
20
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:44,026
Was it on the schedule?
21
00:00:44,061 --> 00:00:46,028
- I have it memorized, and no.
- Oh.
22
00:00:46,063 --> 00:00:49,231
Single-file line,
most flammable kids first,
23
00:00:49,266 --> 00:00:51,066
and remember... No running!
24
00:00:51,102 --> 00:00:52,234
Everybody out!
25
00:00:52,269 --> 00:00:53,568
This is a real fire
in the teachers' lounge!
26
00:00:53,604 --> 00:00:55,871
This is a real fire!
This is not a drill! Hootie-hoo!
27
00:00:55,906 --> 00:00:57,572
- Wait, Ava, where are you going?!
- I'm protecting my peace.
28
00:00:57,608 --> 00:00:59,775
The firefighters are almost
here. Y'all got it!
29
00:00:59,810 --> 00:01:01,777
- Okay, real fire.
- Um, okay, um...
30
00:01:01,803 --> 00:01:03,703
- A-Alright, two, three, four, five.
- You guys up. Turn that way.
31
00:01:05,149 --> 00:01:06,649
- Alright, y'all, come out safely.
- Alright, guys.
32
00:01:06,684 --> 00:01:08,083
- Right there.
- Get the door.
33
00:01:08,119 --> 00:01:10,552
Do not go into the street.
Go, go, go, go. Go.
34
00:01:10,587 --> 00:01:11,887
She's not coming back, is she?
35
00:01:11,922 --> 00:01:13,421
- No. Alright, guys.
- Okay.
36
00:01:15,902 --> 00:01:19,902
- Synced and corrected by synk -
- www.addic7ed.com -
37
00:01:27,204 --> 00:01:28,836
Jacob, you know I love you, I do.
38
00:01:28,872 --> 00:01:30,251
But did your cookies do this?
39
00:01:30,276 --> 00:01:31,939
No, these are no-bakes.
40
00:01:31,975 --> 00:01:33,975
It's better for
the environment and your gut.
41
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,168
- What is wrong with you?
- Oh, disgusting.
42
00:01:36,213 --> 00:01:38,079
Okay, I can tell you, I didn't do this.
43
00:01:38,114 --> 00:01:40,515
Because as someone who wanted
to be a firefighter,
44
00:01:40,551 --> 00:01:42,584
I hate fires. They sicken me.
45
00:01:42,619 --> 00:01:43,918
I want to fight them.
46
00:01:43,953 --> 00:01:46,154
Smoke and fire... The devil's fresh air.
47
00:01:46,190 --> 00:01:47,855
It was probably shoddy wiring.
48
00:01:47,891 --> 00:01:49,123
- Yeah.
- Good morning, everyone.
49
00:01:49,159 --> 00:01:50,659
I'm Captain Robinson.
50
00:01:50,694 --> 00:01:53,694
No relation to Smokey, so save
your jokes. I've heard them all.
51
00:01:53,719 --> 00:01:54,795
Hm.
52
00:01:54,830 --> 00:01:55,996
I'd like to speak to your principal.
53
00:01:57,300 --> 00:01:58,765
Oh, well, that's... That's great
54
00:01:58,801 --> 00:02:00,367
because, actually,
she just posted a video.
55
00:02:00,403 --> 00:02:02,436
She's probably on her way
back to Abbott.
56
00:02:02,471 --> 00:02:04,171
All my preppers know what time it is.
57
00:02:04,207 --> 00:02:05,339
Let's get into this.
58
00:02:05,374 --> 00:02:07,474
"What's In My Go Bag:
Fire Safety Edition."
59
00:02:07,510 --> 00:02:09,310
First up... matches.
60
00:02:09,345 --> 00:02:12,012
'Cause one thing about me,
I'mma fight fire with fire.
61
00:02:12,047 --> 00:02:14,348
- Alright.
- Our principal is otherwise engaged.
62
00:02:14,383 --> 00:02:16,483
But I'm happy to fill in for her.
How can I help you?
63
00:02:16,519 --> 00:02:19,776
I took a series of catastrophe modules
in my principal training.
64
00:02:19,801 --> 00:02:22,233
I'm also prepared for tidal
waves, Facebook crashing...
65
00:02:22,258 --> 00:02:24,658
That's for the older teachers...
And a lice outbreak...
66
00:02:24,694 --> 00:02:26,360
for the white teachers.
67
00:02:26,395 --> 00:02:28,662
Looks like the fire
was started by a candle
68
00:02:28,698 --> 00:02:30,163
and this nearby shawl.
69
00:02:30,199 --> 00:02:32,165
Classic case of flame meets fabric.
70
00:02:32,201 --> 00:02:34,301
Wait, but that's Barbara's shawl
71
00:02:34,337 --> 00:02:36,302
and Barbara's candle.
72
00:02:36,338 --> 00:02:38,138
Oh, my God, someone's trying to use
73
00:02:38,173 --> 00:02:40,073
cashmere and Jesus to blackmail Barbara.
74
00:02:40,109 --> 00:02:42,075
- You mean "frame".
- Semantics.
75
00:02:42,111 --> 00:02:44,244
I did step out earlier
to take a phone call.
76
00:02:44,279 --> 00:02:46,880
And maybe a gust from the vent
77
00:02:46,915 --> 00:02:49,883
just blew my shawl over the candle.
78
00:02:49,918 --> 00:02:52,085
I take full responsibility.
79
00:02:52,121 --> 00:02:53,887
Well, let's hope
it doesn't happen again.
80
00:02:53,922 --> 00:02:55,188
Luckily, no one was hurt.
81
00:02:55,224 --> 00:02:56,256
But we're still gonna have to go
82
00:02:56,281 --> 00:02:58,491
through the standard
post-fire protocols.
83
00:02:58,526 --> 00:03:00,326
Of course, I'm happy to sidebar.
84
00:03:00,362 --> 00:03:01,995
I still can't believe
85
00:03:02,030 --> 00:03:04,865
they brought a tractor drawn aerial.
86
00:03:04,900 --> 00:03:07,067
Yeah, that's... That's one big daddy.
87
00:03:08,303 --> 00:03:10,503
I am sorry for the inconvenience.
88
00:03:10,538 --> 00:03:14,374
But if there's any way that I can help,
please let me know.
89
00:03:14,409 --> 00:03:17,509
I lost three precious diamonds
in the fire. And a Ferrari.
90
00:03:17,544 --> 00:03:21,284
Not sure if the time is right,
but I think we should talk insurance.
91
00:03:23,317 --> 00:03:26,085
We all behaved as kings and queens.
92
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,490
I took my line-leader
duties very seriously.
93
00:03:28,514 --> 00:03:30,790
Cool, cool.
Okay, now, everyone, drop your bags.
94
00:03:30,825 --> 00:03:32,124
Zip those coats back up.
95
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:33,558
We're going on an impromptu excursion.
96
00:03:33,594 --> 00:03:34,927
What's an excursion?
97
00:03:34,962 --> 00:03:37,729
That's where youse all work those
cute little puppy dog eyes
98
00:03:37,765 --> 00:03:40,099
to get the firefighters
to let us play on the truck.
99
00:03:40,134 --> 00:03:42,434
Cool! Come on!
100
00:03:44,272 --> 00:03:46,471
The fire department sent a TDA.
101
00:03:46,507 --> 00:03:49,574
That's industry speak for
"tractor drawn aerial."
102
00:03:49,610 --> 00:03:51,610
And for me, that's top of the line.
103
00:03:51,645 --> 00:03:53,445
That's the one my uncle used to drive.
104
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,216
The Schemmentis have a rich
history in firefighting...
105
00:03:57,251 --> 00:03:58,583
also fighting fighting.
106
00:03:59,186 --> 00:04:00,752
Wow.
107
00:04:00,788 --> 00:04:03,167
Would you look at this
108
00:04:03,192 --> 00:04:06,958
big... hunk... of... metal.
109
00:04:06,993 --> 00:04:08,760
See, this is why I love fire trucks.
110
00:04:08,796 --> 00:04:11,596
I get older... They stay the same.
111
00:04:11,632 --> 00:04:13,465
Nothing beats fire engine red.
112
00:04:13,500 --> 00:04:15,266
Come on in, guys. Hi.
113
00:04:15,302 --> 00:04:16,435
- Excuse me.
- Yes.
114
00:04:16,470 --> 00:04:18,503
I'm Janet Elton, trauma
counselor sent by the district.
115
00:04:18,539 --> 00:04:20,972
I'm looking for
acting-principal Gregory Eddie.
116
00:04:21,007 --> 00:04:22,140
Oh. Interim principal.
117
00:04:22,175 --> 00:04:24,743
Unofficially, but effectively.
Thank you for coming.
118
00:04:24,778 --> 00:04:26,645
Wow, you called the district
119
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,413
and they actually
sent someone right away?
120
00:04:28,449 --> 00:04:30,014
Well, people really
respect my leadershi...
121
00:04:30,050 --> 00:04:31,650
I was on my way when you called.
122
00:04:31,675 --> 00:04:33,074
Where can I set up?
123
00:04:33,099 --> 00:04:34,766
I need to work my way top to bottom
124
00:04:34,791 --> 00:04:37,165
and visit all classrooms ahead
of the fire safety meeting.
125
00:04:37,190 --> 00:04:39,423
Oh, lucky.
126
00:04:39,459 --> 00:04:41,192
Ask the third graders if they miss me.
127
00:04:42,295 --> 00:04:43,461
Right this way.
128
00:04:45,398 --> 00:04:47,298
I'm Miss Teagues.
129
00:04:47,334 --> 00:04:49,367
It's normal to be shaken up.
130
00:04:49,402 --> 00:04:50,835
I'll be here for the rest of the day
131
00:04:50,871 --> 00:04:53,204
should any of you want to talk
about today's events.
132
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,439
That's teachers and students alike.
133
00:04:55,475 --> 00:04:58,009
- Mm.
- My metaphorical door is open.
134
00:04:58,044 --> 00:05:00,511
Thank you, Miss Janet.
135
00:05:00,546 --> 00:05:03,114
As I always say, "When in doubt,
talk it out."
136
00:05:03,149 --> 00:05:05,016
Right, guys?
137
00:05:05,051 --> 00:05:08,953
Can I offer you a carrot cookie
for your Abbott journey?
138
00:05:08,989 --> 00:05:12,123
It's late morning, and the container
is still completely full.
139
00:05:12,158 --> 00:05:13,191
I'll pass.
140
00:05:14,229 --> 00:05:16,160
I will keep a close eye on them,
141
00:05:16,196 --> 00:05:18,296
and if any of the students
express any concern,
142
00:05:18,331 --> 00:05:20,260
I will be sure to let you know.
143
00:05:20,285 --> 00:05:23,185
And how are you holding up, Mrs. Howard?
144
00:05:23,210 --> 00:05:24,579
Me?
145
00:05:24,604 --> 00:05:26,537
Oh, I'm just fine.
146
00:05:26,572 --> 00:05:28,906
I lit a candle, then
I received a phone call,
147
00:05:28,941 --> 00:05:32,142
and because I am a courteous
person, I answered it.
148
00:05:32,177 --> 00:05:33,511
And...
149
00:05:33,546 --> 00:05:35,913
You know, this is just
much ado about nothing.
150
00:05:35,948 --> 00:05:37,014
I'm fine.
151
00:05:39,471 --> 00:05:41,385
Are you writing I'm fine?
152
00:05:41,421 --> 00:05:42,920
I'm just taking some notes.
153
00:05:42,955 --> 00:05:45,355
Well, that's a lot
of writing for "I'm fine."
154
00:05:45,391 --> 00:05:48,426
Um, "She's fine"... It's just two words,
155
00:05:48,461 --> 00:05:50,260
and one of them is a contraction.
156
00:05:50,296 --> 00:05:52,696
You know, when those vents get going,
157
00:05:52,732 --> 00:05:54,598
it is like a hurricane.
158
00:05:54,634 --> 00:05:57,768
So if there is anyone to blame,
it would be the wind.
159
00:05:57,804 --> 00:05:59,236
Okay, I'll be going...
160
00:05:59,271 --> 00:06:01,405
And I just want you
to have the specifics.
161
00:06:01,441 --> 00:06:04,407
Because I know that you are on
a fact-finding mission.
162
00:06:04,443 --> 00:06:06,870
I'm just a counselor,
not an investigator.
163
00:06:06,895 --> 00:06:10,290
Yes, but it seems like you are
an investigator of feelings.
164
00:06:10,315 --> 00:06:14,417
And I want you to know
that I am feeling just fine.
165
00:06:14,453 --> 00:06:15,870
Facts.
166
00:06:18,888 --> 00:06:21,802
I mean, honestly, lately I've been
having some issues with my sister.
167
00:06:21,827 --> 00:06:24,760
We argue about my mom sometimes.
She lives in Denver.
168
00:06:24,785 --> 00:06:26,260
Not my mom, my sister.
169
00:06:26,285 --> 00:06:29,186
Um, so anyway, I've been seeing
this guy Maurice a little bit...
170
00:06:29,211 --> 00:06:32,312
No, I meant, how are you doing
in relation to the fire?
171
00:06:32,337 --> 00:06:33,636
Right, I was getting to that.
172
00:06:33,672 --> 00:06:36,057
So we went to this restaurant,
and guess what breaks out.
173
00:06:36,082 --> 00:06:38,217
- A fire?
- A mariachi band.
174
00:06:38,242 --> 00:06:40,477
And I said I wanted to leave.
175
00:06:40,512 --> 00:06:41,878
So I made him think
that I don't like mariachi.
176
00:06:41,913 --> 00:06:43,145
But the thing is, I do.
177
00:06:43,181 --> 00:06:45,280
It was just a small restaurant,
and it was really loud.
178
00:06:45,315 --> 00:06:46,915
Accident schmaccident.
179
00:06:46,951 --> 00:06:48,260
I smell arson.
180
00:06:48,285 --> 00:06:50,818
Ask any of my exes. It's always arson.
181
00:06:50,843 --> 00:06:52,862
I blame "Waiting to Exhale."
182
00:06:53,893 --> 00:06:55,656
Which one of you kids
want to honk the horn?
183
00:06:55,681 --> 00:06:58,048
Oh, c'mon, they've heard horns before.
184
00:06:58,073 --> 00:06:59,815
This city runs on road rage.
185
00:06:59,840 --> 00:07:01,518
I want to show them the Jaws of Life.
186
00:07:01,543 --> 00:07:03,008
Okay, look, kids.
187
00:07:03,033 --> 00:07:06,768
This is what you use if you want
to destroy a car...
188
00:07:06,793 --> 00:07:08,826
If you want to get someone out of a car.
189
00:07:08,851 --> 00:07:10,917
It's cold. Can we go inside?
190
00:07:10,942 --> 00:07:13,237
Yeah, but the truck
only fits seven at a time.
191
00:07:13,262 --> 00:07:14,487
So who's got first?
192
00:07:14,512 --> 00:07:17,345
Man, I just wanted to honk the horn.
193
00:07:20,384 --> 00:07:22,317
The pyramid and the cone can be tricky,
194
00:07:22,352 --> 00:07:23,585
so make sure you pay attention.
195
00:07:23,621 --> 00:07:25,754
Keep working on those shapes, kids.
196
00:07:25,789 --> 00:07:28,356
Mr. Eddie needs to have a conversation.
197
00:07:28,392 --> 00:07:29,491
Please hold.
198
00:07:36,189 --> 00:07:38,377
Interim Principal Gregory Eddie
at your service.
199
00:07:38,402 --> 00:07:40,096
We'll dig into that later.
200
00:07:40,121 --> 00:07:42,925
First, an update.
No concerns on the students thus far.
201
00:07:42,950 --> 00:07:45,083
And all the staff has passed
my standard inspection.
202
00:07:45,108 --> 00:07:47,486
I've longed for protocol.
This is the best day of my life.
203
00:07:47,511 --> 00:07:49,644
Except for one person who isn't
handling it well...
204
00:07:49,679 --> 00:07:50,901
at all.
205
00:07:50,926 --> 00:07:52,358
Oh, well, look,
that's just how Janine is.
206
00:07:52,383 --> 00:07:53,683
I'm not talking about Janine.
207
00:07:53,708 --> 00:07:55,607
Jacob? That one lunch lady?
208
00:07:55,632 --> 00:07:57,221
Her name is Shanae.
That don't sound right.
209
00:07:57,246 --> 00:07:58,312
It's not her.
210
00:07:58,337 --> 00:07:59,736
Well, who could it be? Mr. Johnson?
211
00:07:59,761 --> 00:08:02,128
That is the single most
well-adjusted man I have ever met.
212
00:08:02,153 --> 00:08:04,619
I'm talking about Barbara Howard.
213
00:08:04,928 --> 00:08:06,461
Are you sure you don't mean Janine?
214
00:08:06,496 --> 00:08:09,729
I'm sure. Listen, I've been
with people in the aftermath
215
00:08:09,765 --> 00:08:11,206
of some tough situations...
216
00:08:11,231 --> 00:08:14,701
Heart attacks, flooding,
wig falling off at an assembly.
217
00:08:14,736 --> 00:08:16,823
Nothing shakes people up
more than a fire.
218
00:08:16,848 --> 00:08:18,914
There's usually something
under the surface.
219
00:08:19,611 --> 00:08:21,401
I feel like you're reading her wrong.
220
00:08:21,426 --> 00:08:24,471
Barbara is the most together
and collected person at this school.
221
00:08:24,496 --> 00:08:25,729
She's made mistakes, but she moved on...
222
00:08:25,754 --> 00:08:28,417
Oh! Miss Janet.
223
00:08:28,442 --> 00:08:30,198
There you are.
224
00:08:30,223 --> 00:08:33,357
I just wanted to reiterate
that I am fine.
225
00:08:33,382 --> 00:08:34,432
Is that all?
226
00:08:34,457 --> 00:08:36,523
Also, I wanted to add that I never
227
00:08:36,548 --> 00:08:39,216
listen to Chaka Khan's
"Through the Fire"
228
00:08:39,241 --> 00:08:41,065
when it comes up on my Pandora.
229
00:08:41,090 --> 00:08:43,490
"I'm Every Woman," not a pyromaniac.
230
00:08:45,215 --> 00:08:46,425
No one was thinking that, Barbara.
231
00:08:46,450 --> 00:08:49,042
I know, but I just wanted to make sure
that it was on the record.
232
00:08:49,067 --> 00:08:52,653
You know, in that little...
fact-finding notebook of hers.
233
00:08:52,678 --> 00:08:53,911
Facts.
234
00:08:56,182 --> 00:09:00,079
It's worrisome. But I still think
you should take a look at Janine.
235
00:09:05,019 --> 00:09:06,346
Is everything okay, Barbara?
236
00:09:06,371 --> 00:09:09,105
Didn't I make that
perfectly clear earlier?
237
00:09:12,126 --> 00:09:14,927
Well, I just wanted you to know
that if you feel any which way,
238
00:09:14,963 --> 00:09:16,728
you can come to me, as a friend,
239
00:09:16,764 --> 00:09:19,598
or, if you prefer it to be more formal,
240
00:09:19,633 --> 00:09:21,010
as your interim principal.
241
00:09:21,035 --> 00:09:23,313
You are not a principal, Gregory.
242
00:09:23,338 --> 00:09:25,271
You are but a child.
243
00:09:25,306 --> 00:09:27,073
I'm just making sure that you're good.
244
00:09:27,108 --> 00:09:28,975
I'm as good as it gets.
245
00:09:29,021 --> 00:09:30,920
Perfect, even.
246
00:09:30,945 --> 00:09:32,911
I'm also just making my rounds
to remind all staff
247
00:09:32,947 --> 00:09:34,646
about the fire safety meeting at lunch.
248
00:09:34,682 --> 00:09:36,182
Thank you, but no thank you.
249
00:09:36,217 --> 00:09:38,283
It's mandatory.
250
00:09:38,318 --> 00:09:41,987
Gregory, I am spiritually tenured.
251
00:09:42,022 --> 00:09:46,124
Mandates are nothing more
than fervent suggestions.
252
00:09:46,159 --> 00:09:48,193
Ava would let me skip this.
253
00:09:48,228 --> 00:09:51,329
Respectfully and thankfully,
I'm not Ava.
254
00:09:53,467 --> 00:09:55,000
And don't you think
if anyone should attend
255
00:09:55,035 --> 00:09:57,970
the fire safety meeting,
it should be you?
256
00:09:57,995 --> 00:09:59,071
Considering...
257
00:09:59,096 --> 00:10:01,840
Look, it's no big deal.
258
00:10:01,876 --> 00:10:06,444
My shawl caught fire on
a stained-glass Jesus candle.
259
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:07,980
Nobody got hurt.
260
00:10:08,015 --> 00:10:11,650
So why don't we all just
put this ordeal behind us
261
00:10:11,685 --> 00:10:13,318
and move forward?
262
00:10:13,353 --> 00:10:14,819
- I agree.
- Oh!
263
00:10:14,854 --> 00:10:16,621
- Let's move forward.
- Forward.
264
00:10:16,656 --> 00:10:18,089
After the meeting.
265
00:10:19,726 --> 00:10:21,026
Which is mandatory.
266
00:10:21,995 --> 00:10:23,594
I miss Ava.
267
00:10:29,702 --> 00:10:32,970
Are you all bored or just
kind of quietly reflecting?
268
00:10:33,006 --> 00:10:36,741
Holy smokes, this must be
the 15-pound turbo flathead.
269
00:10:36,776 --> 00:10:38,243
2018 model, too.
270
00:10:38,278 --> 00:10:40,811
They got too flashy after the 2019s.
271
00:10:40,847 --> 00:10:42,213
Don't touch my Axe.
272
00:10:42,249 --> 00:10:45,149
Melissa, I think your kids
are a little, like, disengaged.
273
00:10:45,184 --> 00:10:47,017
Nah! I haven't even introduced them
274
00:10:47,053 --> 00:10:48,485
to the wonderful world
of the tiller yet.
275
00:10:48,521 --> 00:10:52,656
I bet this baby's got
some baller wheel markers.
276
00:10:54,026 --> 00:10:56,560
Wow, she, uh... she seems
really into fire trucks.
277
00:10:56,595 --> 00:10:59,196
- Yeah, we call them Truckies.
- Mm.
278
00:10:59,231 --> 00:11:01,231
Just once I'd like a woman
to like me for me,
279
00:11:01,267 --> 00:11:03,200
not the truck, you know?
280
00:11:04,970 --> 00:11:07,371
Yeah, I mean, not super relatable,
281
00:11:07,406 --> 00:11:09,573
- but empathizing nonetheless.
- Mm.
282
00:11:09,608 --> 00:11:11,775
Hey, thank you for
everything that you do.
283
00:11:11,810 --> 00:11:13,377
As a fellow employee of the city
284
00:11:13,412 --> 00:11:16,346
and aspiring humble hero...
285
00:11:16,382 --> 00:11:17,548
I see you.
286
00:11:19,050 --> 00:11:20,616
Any chance you could see
to getting your co-worker
287
00:11:20,651 --> 00:11:22,245
away from our truck?
288
00:11:26,924 --> 00:11:29,559
Hey, um... I'm worried about Barbara.
289
00:11:29,594 --> 00:11:31,794
Oh, no, why? What's wrong?
What happened? Where is she?
290
00:11:31,829 --> 00:11:33,262
- She says she's fine.
- Okay.
291
00:11:33,298 --> 00:11:35,098
But the counselor seems to think
292
00:11:35,133 --> 00:11:37,032
that she's not processing
what happened earlier.
293
00:11:37,068 --> 00:11:38,901
And that there may be
something else going on.
294
00:11:38,936 --> 00:11:41,036
Well, that counselor doesn't
know what she's talking about.
295
00:11:41,072 --> 00:11:44,039
She said she thought that
I might benefit from therapy.
296
00:11:46,311 --> 00:11:48,544
Right. But she may be onto
something with Barbara.
297
00:11:48,580 --> 00:11:49,812
So let's keep an eye out.
298
00:11:49,847 --> 00:11:52,115
Okay, but, you know,
Barbara's solid as a rock.
299
00:11:52,150 --> 00:11:53,281
She's my rock.
300
00:11:53,317 --> 00:11:54,549
And, you know, if she says she's fine,
301
00:11:54,585 --> 00:11:57,119
- then she's fine.
- Okay.
302
00:11:57,154 --> 00:11:58,721
Alright, folks. Let's get serious.
303
00:12:00,290 --> 00:12:02,591
♪ Think safe, be safe,
all throughout the day ♪
304
00:12:02,627 --> 00:12:06,261
Doesn't even make sense.
Why would a fire own sunglasses?
305
00:12:06,296 --> 00:12:07,930
Can anyone tell me
306
00:12:07,965 --> 00:12:10,265
the three leading causes
of fires in schools?
307
00:12:10,300 --> 00:12:12,735
- The CIA.
- No.
308
00:12:12,770 --> 00:12:14,136
Too close to the truth, huh?
309
00:12:15,706 --> 00:12:19,008
Cooking, intentional action,
and heating.
310
00:12:19,043 --> 00:12:20,575
Let's save the questions
for the end, please.
311
00:12:20,611 --> 00:12:22,310
Less of a question, more of a comment.
312
00:12:22,346 --> 00:12:24,412
I could run this meeting in my sleep.
313
00:12:24,448 --> 00:12:26,481
Well, that won't be necessary,
but thanks for the offer.
314
00:12:26,517 --> 00:12:28,016
Let's move into fire prevention.
315
00:12:28,051 --> 00:12:31,353
Typical firefighter machismo,
silencing women.
316
00:12:31,388 --> 00:12:32,587
There's a woman right there.
317
00:12:32,623 --> 00:12:33,755
Yeah, well, that's new.
318
00:12:33,790 --> 00:12:35,457
Back in the day, female firefighter
319
00:12:35,492 --> 00:12:38,360
was just the punch line of the
dirtiest joke you ever heard.
320
00:12:38,395 --> 00:12:40,962
Trust me.
They crushed my dreams with that
321
00:12:40,997 --> 00:12:43,265
"Girls can't be firefighters" crap.
322
00:12:43,300 --> 00:12:44,932
Yeah, I think that's generational.
323
00:12:44,968 --> 00:12:47,802
You can't spell firefighter
without "her."
324
00:12:48,905 --> 00:12:52,073
I mean, you gotta take the "G"
and the "T" out, but...
325
00:12:54,070 --> 00:12:57,222
Now, today's blaze
was the result of heating.
326
00:12:57,247 --> 00:12:59,547
A candle was the heat source.
327
00:12:59,582 --> 00:13:03,184
And the fuel was
a haphazardly placed shawl.
328
00:13:03,219 --> 00:13:05,319
Which could hap-happen to anyone.
329
00:13:05,354 --> 00:13:06,821
It was simply an accident.
330
00:13:06,856 --> 00:13:08,189
Right, and that's not an indictment
331
00:13:08,224 --> 00:13:10,558
on the owner of said candle
or the owner of said shawl.
332
00:13:10,593 --> 00:13:11,893
I mean, and it definitely doesn't mean
333
00:13:11,928 --> 00:13:13,561
that they're getting older
and growing forgetful,
334
00:13:13,596 --> 00:13:15,029
- if that's how they feel.
- Gregory.
335
00:13:15,065 --> 00:13:16,297
- What the hell?!
- What?
336
00:13:16,332 --> 00:13:18,632
But if they did feel that way,
they can just talk to somebody.
337
00:13:18,668 --> 00:13:20,634
- But if they don't, that...
- Gregory, stop.
338
00:13:20,670 --> 00:13:23,470
Look, I think what Gregory
means to say is that,
339
00:13:23,506 --> 00:13:25,406
you know, fires can start
in all kinds of ways.
340
00:13:25,441 --> 00:13:26,908
- Right.
- Right? Yes.
341
00:13:26,943 --> 00:13:28,409
Actually, firefighters wind up
342
00:13:28,444 --> 00:13:29,877
starting a lot of fires themselves.
343
00:13:29,913 --> 00:13:31,378
- Uh, but you know that already.
- Excuse me?
344
00:13:31,414 --> 00:13:34,182
You know, one of the most famous fires
was actually started by a cow.
345
00:13:34,217 --> 00:13:37,218
But I don't see them asking a cow
to join a fire safety meeting.
346
00:13:37,253 --> 00:13:38,652
Right, Barb?
347
00:13:38,688 --> 00:13:40,187
I would like to see that, though.
348
00:13:40,223 --> 00:13:42,189
"Mooooo-ve! There's fire!"
349
00:13:42,225 --> 00:13:44,057
Alright, folks,
this meeting was actually
350
00:13:44,093 --> 00:13:45,826
not meant to be so interactive, okay?
351
00:13:45,861 --> 00:13:48,662
Bottom line... no more
open flames in school.
352
00:13:48,698 --> 00:13:51,265
Intentional or not, they start fires.
353
00:13:51,300 --> 00:13:53,200
Especially when used carelessly.
354
00:13:53,236 --> 00:13:56,770
Excuse me, but what exactly
do you mean by open flame?
355
00:13:56,805 --> 00:13:59,005
I mean, surely candles are still okay.
356
00:13:59,041 --> 00:14:01,041
A candle's an open flame,
so, no, they're not.
357
00:14:01,076 --> 00:14:04,945
Well, that's ridiculous. I've been
lighting candles here for 20 years
358
00:14:04,980 --> 00:14:06,680
without a single problem.
359
00:14:06,716 --> 00:14:08,881
- Until today.
- And there won't be another.
360
00:14:08,916 --> 00:14:10,383
Exactly, there won't be another one
361
00:14:10,418 --> 00:14:13,081
because there will be no
more candles on this property.
362
00:14:13,106 --> 00:14:14,505
Does that apply to birthday candles?
363
00:14:14,530 --> 00:14:17,400
Well, that is unfair.
This school is full of hazards.
364
00:14:17,425 --> 00:14:18,658
And birthdays.
365
00:14:18,693 --> 00:14:20,698
You have no idea the nonsense
366
00:14:20,723 --> 00:14:23,253
that teachers get away
with here repeatedly.
367
00:14:23,278 --> 00:14:27,680
But the one time I light
a candle for peace of mind,
368
00:14:27,705 --> 00:14:30,072
without ever having a prior problem,
369
00:14:30,097 --> 00:14:32,230
you want to take it away from me.
370
00:14:32,255 --> 00:14:36,620
Well, that is unfair and ridiculous!
371
00:14:37,579 --> 00:14:39,545
Good job, Little Fires Everywhere.
372
00:14:39,581 --> 00:14:41,714
You really helped calm things down.
373
00:14:42,884 --> 00:14:44,049
Did you see that?
374
00:14:44,085 --> 00:14:46,085
- Yes.
- Yeah, we're right here.
375
00:14:52,033 --> 00:14:53,800
Hey, Barb.
376
00:14:53,836 --> 00:14:57,070
Hey, don't worry about that meeting.
That was a farce.
377
00:14:57,105 --> 00:14:59,473
Hey, want something to cheer you up?
378
00:14:59,508 --> 00:15:01,908
Take a look at these pictures
of me with the fire truck, huh?
379
00:15:01,944 --> 00:15:03,910
Hard to be mad when I look that good.
380
00:15:03,946 --> 00:15:06,411
Your hair matches the truck. Marvelous.
381
00:15:08,549 --> 00:15:10,616
You wanna talk about it?
382
00:15:10,651 --> 00:15:12,317
I'm fine.
383
00:15:12,353 --> 00:15:13,552
Okay.
384
00:15:16,056 --> 00:15:17,456
Been dealing with Gerald's health.
385
00:15:17,492 --> 00:15:18,991
Barb...
386
00:15:19,026 --> 00:15:20,993
We had a prostate situation.
387
00:15:21,028 --> 00:15:23,195
Oh, no. Oh, my gosh. Is he okay?
388
00:15:23,230 --> 00:15:25,798
Yeah, doctor called this morning
389
00:15:25,833 --> 00:15:27,600
said he is in the clear.
390
00:15:27,635 --> 00:15:29,034
Oh, thank God.
391
00:15:29,069 --> 00:15:31,971
But those PSA numbers came back high.
392
00:15:31,996 --> 00:15:33,015
And, y-you know, the past few days
393
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,975
just waiting to find out the results,
394
00:15:36,010 --> 00:15:37,776
it's been stressful.
395
00:15:37,812 --> 00:15:40,845
Of course. I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry I didn't know.
396
00:15:40,881 --> 00:15:44,883
Well, all I could do was
light my candle and pray.
397
00:15:44,918 --> 00:15:46,283
- Mm.
- What was I gonna do?
398
00:15:46,319 --> 00:15:47,986
Sit around and worry about it all day?
399
00:15:48,021 --> 00:15:49,286
That never does any good.
400
00:15:49,322 --> 00:15:50,522
Right? That's life.
401
00:15:50,557 --> 00:15:51,956
Just always something coming at you.
402
00:15:51,992 --> 00:15:53,791
You just gotta keep on truckin'.
403
00:15:53,827 --> 00:15:54,993
Keep truckin'.
404
00:15:55,028 --> 00:15:58,997
I mean, if we were to blab
every time life got hard,
405
00:15:59,032 --> 00:16:00,131
we would be...
406
00:16:00,156 --> 00:16:01,175
Janine.
407
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:02,767
Janine.
408
00:16:04,838 --> 00:16:05,970
Oh, I'm glad he's okay, honey.
409
00:16:06,006 --> 00:16:07,705
- Yeah.
- Okay.
410
00:16:07,741 --> 00:16:10,374
Well, I better get back
to those firefighters.
411
00:16:10,410 --> 00:16:12,777
I gotta help them find their keys.
412
00:16:16,615 --> 00:16:18,582
Ma'am, we really need to get going.
413
00:16:18,617 --> 00:16:20,350
There has to be a fire somewhere.
414
00:16:23,622 --> 00:16:25,556
Hey, man.
415
00:16:25,591 --> 00:16:28,025
I was just playing a little
pick-up solo Ultimate.
416
00:16:28,060 --> 00:16:29,325
Ultimate Frisbee.
417
00:16:29,361 --> 00:16:31,494
Solo play helps you
burn the most calories.
418
00:16:31,530 --> 00:16:32,896
It's niche.
419
00:16:32,932 --> 00:16:34,998
Anyways, I got my commemorative
Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!
420
00:16:35,034 --> 00:16:36,767
Frisbee stuck up on
that ledge over there.
421
00:16:36,802 --> 00:16:39,502
Why don't you just use these... cookies?
422
00:16:39,538 --> 00:16:40,938
They look hefty. Get the Frisbee down.
423
00:16:40,973 --> 00:16:42,338
Uh, no. Um, no!
424
00:16:42,374 --> 00:16:43,540
Oh, no, please! Please!
425
00:16:43,575 --> 00:16:45,007
It's a 57-step recipe.
426
00:16:45,043 --> 00:16:47,176
You know, I actually wasn't even
gonna ask the squad
427
00:16:47,211 --> 00:16:49,845
to help get it down. I had another idea.
428
00:16:50,815 --> 00:16:54,016
Are you familiar with the Schemmentis
of Southern Philadelphia?
429
00:16:55,887 --> 00:16:58,888
Hey, B-to-the-A-to-the-R-to-the B...
430
00:16:58,923 --> 00:17:00,122
to-the-A-to-the-R-to-the A.
431
00:17:00,157 --> 00:17:02,524
Hey, how you doing?
Just coming to check on you.
432
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:06,629
Holding space for you
in case you wanted to, you know, talk.
433
00:17:06,664 --> 00:17:07,964
There's no need to worry.
434
00:17:07,999 --> 00:17:11,266
I will not be lighting my candle anymore
435
00:17:11,302 --> 00:17:13,235
per the orders of the district
436
00:17:13,270 --> 00:17:15,071
and the interim principal.
437
00:17:15,106 --> 00:17:17,206
Oh, would we say that I ordered?
438
00:17:17,241 --> 00:17:18,406
That sounds strong.
439
00:17:18,441 --> 00:17:19,741
Well, either way,
440
00:17:19,776 --> 00:17:22,276
I will not be lighting
my candle anymore.
441
00:17:22,312 --> 00:17:24,079
And that's life, right?
442
00:17:24,114 --> 00:17:25,446
Right.
443
00:17:31,688 --> 00:17:35,123
Mrs. Howard, is the fire done?
444
00:17:35,158 --> 00:17:39,327
Oh, sweetheart, the fire is all done.
445
00:17:39,362 --> 00:17:41,997
Would you like to talk
about it with Miss Janet,
446
00:17:42,032 --> 00:17:44,232
the nice lady from earlier?
447
00:17:44,267 --> 00:17:45,667
It's okay.
448
00:17:45,702 --> 00:17:48,069
You know it's okay to feel scared.
449
00:17:48,105 --> 00:17:50,071
You don't have to pretend
that you're not.
450
00:17:50,107 --> 00:17:52,740
Pretending can make it harder.
451
00:17:54,210 --> 00:17:58,779
You know, sometimes
Mrs. Howard gets scared...
452
00:18:00,183 --> 00:18:01,815
...and upset, too.
453
00:18:05,355 --> 00:18:07,155
And that's okay.
454
00:18:07,190 --> 00:18:09,056
Okay?
455
00:18:14,164 --> 00:18:15,329
Frisbee secured!
456
00:18:15,365 --> 00:18:17,798
Whoo-hoo! Yeah!
457
00:18:17,833 --> 00:18:20,601
Ooh, should she really
be up there in heels?
458
00:18:20,637 --> 00:18:22,036
She's wearing a helmet.
459
00:18:22,071 --> 00:18:23,671
Hey, why don't you try playing a sport
460
00:18:23,706 --> 00:18:26,640
that actually involves balls...
like downhill skiing.
461
00:18:32,915 --> 00:18:34,381
Thanks for letting me do that.
462
00:18:34,416 --> 00:18:36,784
That felt even better
than I could've imagined.
463
00:18:36,809 --> 00:18:39,386
Don't mention it. You should've
told me that you're a Schemmenti!
464
00:18:39,421 --> 00:18:40,688
- Yeah.
- Your uncle was a legend.
465
00:18:40,723 --> 00:18:42,389
He put out the Hawthorne fire in '95.
466
00:18:42,424 --> 00:18:43,525
Mm-hmm.
467
00:18:43,550 --> 00:18:45,803
Never did find out who started that.
468
00:18:45,828 --> 00:18:47,995
It was started by my other uncle.
469
00:18:48,030 --> 00:18:50,130
And I'm not snitching. He's proud of it.
470
00:18:51,734 --> 00:18:53,901
I get it. It was just an accident.
471
00:18:53,936 --> 00:18:56,570
And you are Mary J. Blige
levels of "Just Fine."
472
00:18:56,605 --> 00:18:59,005
Actually, I want to thank you
for coming today,
473
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:02,475
because I have been dealing
with some things at home
474
00:19:02,511 --> 00:19:06,413
and the fire was a direct result
of that stress.
475
00:19:06,448 --> 00:19:08,648
Almost to the letter.
476
00:19:10,852 --> 00:19:12,752
Thank you for sharing, Mrs. Howard.
477
00:19:12,787 --> 00:19:17,056
You know, if you want,
I can write you a day off.
478
00:19:17,092 --> 00:19:18,391
A day off?
479
00:19:18,427 --> 00:19:19,916
For what?
480
00:19:19,941 --> 00:19:22,008
A day off because you might need it...
481
00:19:22,033 --> 00:19:23,233
or just want it.
482
00:19:23,258 --> 00:19:25,742
I have only ever taken a day off
483
00:19:25,767 --> 00:19:29,436
because I was sick or a vacation.
484
00:19:29,471 --> 00:19:32,205
Once to get my hair done.
It was an emergency.
485
00:19:32,241 --> 00:19:35,241
Kirk Franklin was in town
with The Family.
486
00:19:36,510 --> 00:19:39,211
But I've never taken a day off
for no reason.
487
00:19:39,247 --> 00:19:41,146
Feels like there is a reason.
488
00:19:41,181 --> 00:19:43,115
It's actually called
a mental health day.
489
00:19:43,150 --> 00:19:46,151
But if I said that,
she wouldn't take it.
490
00:19:46,186 --> 00:19:47,886
I know her type.
491
00:19:47,921 --> 00:19:51,056
Seems like your principal
leaves whenever she wants.
492
00:19:52,360 --> 00:19:54,159
Well...
493
00:19:54,194 --> 00:19:56,629
Here is a work-excusal form.
494
00:19:56,664 --> 00:19:58,264
Don't you need to put my name on it?
495
00:19:58,299 --> 00:20:00,010
Oh, it's on there.
496
00:20:00,834 --> 00:20:02,234
Had a feeling.
497
00:20:03,804 --> 00:20:06,338
Now, I know you said
you were fine, but...
498
00:20:06,374 --> 00:20:09,641
♪ You are my sunshine, my only sun... ♪
499
00:20:09,676 --> 00:20:10,875
♪ You're not Barbara ♪
500
00:20:12,178 --> 00:20:13,311
Barb took the day off.
501
00:20:13,346 --> 00:20:15,480
What? Uh, is she okay?
502
00:20:15,515 --> 00:20:17,982
I mean, is everything alright?
Is she mad at me?
503
00:20:18,017 --> 00:20:20,351
Just because you got a round face
like the Teletubbies sun baby
504
00:20:20,387 --> 00:20:22,775
doesn't mean that the world
revolves around you.
505
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:24,322
Where's Barbara?
506
00:20:24,357 --> 00:20:25,657
Take that blazer off.
507
00:20:25,692 --> 00:20:27,292
You think you the principal
or something?
508
00:20:27,327 --> 00:20:28,625
The hell happening 'round here?
509
00:20:28,650 --> 00:20:30,538
Hey, Ava, what did Barbara say?
510
00:20:30,563 --> 00:20:31,996
She said she needed
some time to herself.
511
00:20:32,031 --> 00:20:33,298
I tried to send her to that spa
512
00:20:33,333 --> 00:20:35,266
I was at yesterday...
They offer referral cash...
513
00:20:35,302 --> 00:20:37,368
But she said she wanted to
"spend time with her husband."
514
00:20:37,404 --> 00:20:38,536
Good for her, though.
515
00:20:38,571 --> 00:20:41,306
Wow, never thought I'd see the day.
516
00:20:42,308 --> 00:20:44,608
Wait a minute. You were at a spa?
517
00:20:47,293 --> 00:20:49,461
Good night.
518
00:20:49,496 --> 00:20:51,534
Still with the cookies?
519
00:20:51,559 --> 00:20:53,526
Come on, it's been days.
520
00:20:53,561 --> 00:20:55,261
They're probably even worse than before.
521
00:20:55,297 --> 00:20:56,762
Actually, they age like fine wine
522
00:20:56,798 --> 00:20:59,031
due to a key ingredient...
Grape-seed oil.
523
00:20:59,066 --> 00:21:00,599
Yeah, that's not how that works.
524
00:21:00,634 --> 00:21:02,434
Oh, I think I understand fermentation.
525
00:21:02,470 --> 00:21:05,204
You know, they're putting these
new things in cookies these days.
526
00:21:05,239 --> 00:21:06,472
It's called chocolate chips.
527
00:21:06,507 --> 00:21:08,546
Hardy har. See you tomorrow.
528
00:21:19,653 --> 00:21:21,953
Son of a Bocelli, they're delicious.
529
00:21:23,157 --> 00:21:24,523
Wipe the tape.
530
00:21:24,548 --> 00:21:28,548
