1
00:00:01,084 --> 00:00:03,462
Okay.
Thank you, Melanie,
2
00:00:03,462 --> 00:00:05,255
for showing us the inside
of your eyelids again.
3
00:00:05,255 --> 00:00:06,715
Okay. Khalil, come on.
You're up.
4
00:00:06,715 --> 00:00:08,884
What you got?
5
00:00:08,884 --> 00:00:12,763
For Show-and-Tell, I brought
a famous person I saw outside.
6
00:00:12,763 --> 00:00:13,931
Come on in.
7
00:00:13,931 --> 00:00:16,266
Hi, I'm Bradley Cooper.
What?
8
00:00:16,266 --> 00:00:19,603
Y-You are Bradley Cooper.
Why are you Bradley Cooper?
9
00:00:19,603 --> 00:00:21,188
And why are you here?
10
00:00:21,188 --> 00:00:22,397
Uh, well,
whenever I'm in Philly,
11
00:00:22,397 --> 00:00:24,483
you know the deli
across the street?
12
00:00:24,483 --> 00:00:26,485
Uh, that's my first stop. My dad
used to always take me there.
13
00:00:26,485 --> 00:00:27,527
They have the best hoagies
in the city.
14
00:00:28,862 --> 00:00:30,864
Everybody wanted to take
a picture with him,
15
00:00:30,864 --> 00:00:33,534
so I figured
he was famous.
Yeah, you bet he is.
16
00:00:33,534 --> 00:00:35,869
I'm just texting the other
teachers, not paps.
That's okay.
17
00:00:35,869 --> 00:00:38,247
Anyway, so when my friend here
asked me to come by,
18
00:00:38,247 --> 00:00:39,957
I had a minute,
so I thought, "What the heck?"
19
00:00:39,957 --> 00:00:42,209
If you're famous,
are you in "Spider-Man"?
20
00:00:42,209 --> 00:00:43,502
I'm not in "Spider-Man,"
21
00:00:43,502 --> 00:00:45,420
but I am in "Guardians
of the Galaxy."
22
00:00:45,420 --> 00:00:46,880
No, you're not!
23
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:48,465
Are you frickin' kiddin' me?
24
00:00:48,465 --> 00:00:50,008
I'm the voice
of Rocket Raccoon!
25
00:00:51,969 --> 00:00:53,804
And the face
of "Alias."
26
00:00:53,804 --> 00:00:56,431
Not the face of.
Yeah, you were the face.
27
00:00:56,431 --> 00:00:58,058
A-And "He's Just
Not That Into You."
28
00:00:58,058 --> 00:01:00,227
Well, Janine,
that was rude.
29
00:01:00,227 --> 00:01:02,271
No, I-I mean
"He's Just Not That Into You"
30
00:01:02,271 --> 00:01:04,022
is my favorite
Bradley Cooper film.
31
00:01:04,022 --> 00:01:05,190
It's more
of an ensemble,
32
00:01:05,190 --> 00:01:06,400
but if you think
about it,
33
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:07,901
it's Justin Long's movie.
34
00:01:07,901 --> 00:01:09,861
You crazy, Bradley.
35
00:01:09,861 --> 00:01:12,906
Oh, I've been a Cooper Trooper
since "Wet Hot American Summer."
36
00:01:12,906 --> 00:01:14,658
Well, you look different
in person.
37
00:01:14,658 --> 00:01:15,826
You don't look famous.
38
00:01:15,826 --> 00:01:17,661
Yeah. Shouldn't your teeth
be whiter?
39
00:01:17,661 --> 00:01:19,580
They should,
40
00:01:19,580 --> 00:01:21,498
but I can't whiten them
because they're too sensitive.
41
00:01:21,498 --> 00:01:23,792
Oh.
I just loved you
in "The Holdovers."
42
00:01:23,792 --> 00:01:26,628
It was just
so heartwarming.
43
00:01:26,628 --> 00:01:28,338
It's "The Hangover,"
and, no, it's not.
44
00:01:28,338 --> 00:01:30,382
Guys, he's literally
in a critically acclaimed film
45
00:01:30,382 --> 00:01:32,009
right now.
"Oppenheimer."
46
00:01:32,009 --> 00:01:33,427
Is that the one
about Napoleon?
47
00:01:33,427 --> 00:01:35,637
Yes.
I don't think so.
I'm not in "Oppenheimer."
48
00:01:35,637 --> 00:01:37,639
Are you sure? Everybody
was in "Oppenheimer."
49
00:01:37,639 --> 00:01:38,765
Yeah.
50
00:01:38,765 --> 00:01:41,018
Why are there cameras here?
51
00:01:41,018 --> 00:01:43,186
It's a long story, Brad.
Bradley.
52
00:01:43,186 --> 00:01:44,855
Um, but, hey,
since we have you--
53
00:01:44,855 --> 00:01:47,566
Okay, I-I do you have to
get that hoagie, so, um...
54
00:01:47,566 --> 00:01:48,984
but this-- this was
so much fun,
55
00:01:48,984 --> 00:01:50,235
and does Khalil
get an "A"?
56
00:01:50,235 --> 00:01:51,862
Oh, hell yeah,
he does.
57
00:01:51,862 --> 00:01:53,447
Um, can you stay and take
just one picture before you go?
58
00:01:53,447 --> 00:01:54,948
Yeah, of course.
Okay. Thank you.
59
00:01:54,948 --> 00:01:57,492
Let's do it. Ooh!
Get in, get in, get in.
60
00:01:57,492 --> 00:01:59,411
Hey.
This is so exciting.
61
00:01:59,411 --> 00:02:01,455
I can't wait to tell
everyone at the district.
62
00:02:01,455 --> 00:02:02,914
Oh, you work
at the school district?
Yeah.
63
00:02:02,914 --> 00:02:05,542
Oh, you know that these schools
are criminally underfunded?
64
00:02:05,542 --> 00:02:07,002
It's proven every--
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah. I'm working on it.
65
00:02:07,002 --> 00:02:08,545
Let's just take the picture.
Okay.
66
00:02:21,975 --> 00:02:23,644
Look, guys, I don't know.
67
00:02:23,644 --> 00:02:26,229
She just said she's "dropping
by with a special surprise."
68
00:02:26,229 --> 00:02:28,023
Wait, who's coming?
Janine?
69
00:02:28,023 --> 00:02:29,232
It's not too late to leave,
y'all.
70
00:02:29,232 --> 00:02:31,318
She can't annoy us if
we're not here.
71
00:02:31,318 --> 00:02:34,571
Hello! Hi, everyone!
Sorry we're late.
72
00:02:34,571 --> 00:02:38,283
But do notice that we are a we,
which is exciting.
73
00:02:38,283 --> 00:02:40,535
Please meet Joan
from the city.
74
00:02:40,535 --> 00:02:42,454
And you'll remember
Elizabeth Washington
75
00:02:42,454 --> 00:02:44,414
from the Education Board.
76
00:02:44,414 --> 00:02:46,416
Okay, what's up?
'Cause last time she was here,
77
00:02:46,416 --> 00:02:49,002
I had to eulogize Gregory at
the Educator of the Year thing.
78
00:02:49,002 --> 00:02:51,296
There's my star.
79
00:02:51,296 --> 00:02:53,882
Hey, you never sent me
thank you flowers.
80
00:02:53,882 --> 00:02:55,384
This is my nightmare.
81
00:02:55,384 --> 00:02:57,469
Literally, she's
my sleep paralysis demon.
82
00:02:57,469 --> 00:03:00,639
Abbott Elementary
is set to be designated
83
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:05,268
as a historical landmark
in the city of Philadelphia.
84
00:03:05,268 --> 00:03:06,895
We're gonna be
a historical place?
85
00:03:06,895 --> 00:03:08,563
Cha-ching!
86
00:03:08,563 --> 00:03:09,648
What?
87
00:03:09,648 --> 00:03:10,774
It comes
with a discretionary fund
88
00:03:10,774 --> 00:03:12,484
for structural upkeep.
89
00:03:12,484 --> 00:03:13,652
Yeah, that's true.
90
00:03:13,652 --> 00:03:15,779
My great aunt's
pastrami shop got designated
91
00:03:15,779 --> 00:03:18,365
'cause Dick Clark looked
through the window once.
92
00:03:18,365 --> 00:03:20,409
We've always known
how special Abbott is,
93
00:03:20,409 --> 00:03:22,577
but now we're historic.
94
00:03:22,577 --> 00:03:24,121
Like the "Rocky" stairs.
95
00:03:24,121 --> 00:03:26,832
Not quite, as Rocky
is a fictional character.
96
00:03:26,832 --> 00:03:28,208
How about we throw you
down those stairs,
97
00:03:28,208 --> 00:03:29,501
and you can see how fictional
they feel?!
98
00:03:29,501 --> 00:03:31,461
I think she just means like
the home of Betsy Ross.
99
00:03:31,461 --> 00:03:32,796
Right? Okay.
100
00:03:32,796 --> 00:03:34,089
Oh, my God, guys,
101
00:03:34,089 --> 00:03:36,425
we're probably going to be
a part of walking tours.
102
00:03:36,425 --> 00:03:38,135
Oh, my gosh.
Who's gonna give the tour?
103
00:03:38,135 --> 00:03:39,261
Uh, okay. I'll do it.
Okay.
104
00:03:39,261 --> 00:03:42,722
Abbott is certainly old,
but historic?
105
00:03:42,722 --> 00:03:45,142
Willard R. Abbott himself
106
00:03:45,142 --> 00:03:49,229
used this very building
as a bomb shelter.
107
00:03:49,229 --> 00:03:50,856
It actually turned out
to be a false alarm.
108
00:03:50,856 --> 00:03:52,607
Nevertheless,
109
00:03:52,607 --> 00:03:56,111
a great man cowered
on this hallowed ground.
110
00:03:56,111 --> 00:03:57,863
That's right.
We're gonna be famous.
111
00:03:57,863 --> 00:04:00,282
Aah! This is so cool.
112
00:04:00,282 --> 00:04:03,952
Working at the district,
we treat every school as equal.
113
00:04:03,952 --> 00:04:05,829
But I always knew
Abbott was exceptional.
114
00:04:05,829 --> 00:04:07,330
And now the city agrees.
115
00:04:07,330 --> 00:04:09,583
Eat it, all other schools
in the district!
116
00:04:11,710 --> 00:04:13,253
You'll cut that part out, right?
117
00:04:13,253 --> 00:04:15,589
Attention
Abbott Elementarians...
118
00:04:15,589 --> 00:04:17,507
it's your captain,
Principal Coleman, speaking.
119
00:04:17,507 --> 00:04:19,217
If you're learning, stop.
120
00:04:19,217 --> 00:04:21,261
Abbott Elementary,
the school that I raised,
121
00:04:21,261 --> 00:04:23,889
is becoming a Philly
historical landmark.
122
00:04:23,889 --> 00:04:26,141
There will be a plaque ceremony
honoring our school's
123
00:04:26,141 --> 00:04:28,185
namesake,
Willard R. Abbott.
124
00:04:28,185 --> 00:04:29,770
And if that sounds old
and dusty to you,
125
00:04:29,770 --> 00:04:31,855
the district is also
throwing a pre-party
126
00:04:31,855 --> 00:04:33,356
for us and the neighborhood.
127
00:04:33,356 --> 00:04:35,025
We're partying
on the district's tab.
128
00:04:35,025 --> 00:04:36,776
Oh, and there will be pizza.
129
00:04:38,778 --> 00:04:40,697
You're welcome.
130
00:04:40,697 --> 00:04:42,657
Just imagine how
many people are gonna be posing
131
00:04:42,657 --> 00:04:44,451
with peace signs out
by the plaque.
132
00:04:44,451 --> 00:04:46,953
Oh, no. People do
finger hearts now. Like that.
133
00:04:46,953 --> 00:04:49,039
I have to admit,
this is impressive.
134
00:04:49,039 --> 00:04:50,248
I already feel
more distinguished.
135
00:04:50,248 --> 00:04:51,917
You can't even spell
"distinguished."
136
00:04:53,835 --> 00:04:56,671
Barbara, Melissa.
137
00:04:56,671 --> 00:04:58,882
That was your, uh,
"This is amazing look," huh?
138
00:04:58,882 --> 00:05:00,050
Right?
139
00:05:00,050 --> 00:05:01,927
I'm so happy
you're happy.
140
00:05:01,927 --> 00:05:03,011
But?
141
00:05:03,011 --> 00:05:04,221
No but.
There's a but.
142
00:05:04,221 --> 00:05:05,806
I can feel a but.
143
00:05:05,806 --> 00:05:07,474
Damn.
You freaky.
144
00:05:08,767 --> 00:05:10,560
But...
I knew it.
145
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,271
...Janine, this is
just local politics.
146
00:05:13,271 --> 00:05:15,232
It's got nothing
to do with our school.
147
00:05:15,232 --> 00:05:16,775
Yeah.
Plus this is Philly.
148
00:05:16,775 --> 00:05:18,944
I mean, you can't hock a loogie
without hitting
149
00:05:18,944 --> 00:05:20,654
something historic
around here.
150
00:05:20,654 --> 00:05:22,531
Oh, my God, please.
151
00:05:22,531 --> 00:05:25,492
Just one parade without Barbara
clouds and Melissa meatballs.
152
00:05:25,492 --> 00:05:27,452
You wish
it rained my meatballs.
153
00:05:27,452 --> 00:05:30,038
And let me remind you,
you asked.
154
00:05:30,038 --> 00:05:31,540
Uh, yes,
but that was before
155
00:05:31,540 --> 00:05:33,291
when I thought
I would like to answer.
156
00:05:33,291 --> 00:05:35,043
No one is saying
that meaningless accolades
157
00:05:35,043 --> 00:05:37,546
can't be a win-win,
but...
158
00:05:37,546 --> 00:05:40,590
No, it's more like
a don't care...
...don't care.
159
00:05:41,633 --> 00:05:43,134
Like I said,
160
00:05:43,134 --> 00:05:47,430
I am so happy
you are happy.
161
00:05:47,430 --> 00:05:49,933
Yeah, we're ecstatic.
For you.
162
00:05:49,933 --> 00:05:51,059
Okay, well, that's good,
163
00:05:51,059 --> 00:05:53,311
because it is
objectively cool
164
00:05:53,311 --> 00:05:55,981
that Abbott won't be able
to be overlooked anymore.
165
00:05:55,981 --> 00:05:59,234
You know? We're finally getting
the recognition we deserve.
166
00:05:59,234 --> 00:06:00,902
You can't even spell
"deserve."
167
00:06:02,612 --> 00:06:03,780
There you go.
168
00:06:03,780 --> 00:06:05,532
Ooh!
Hey.
169
00:06:05,532 --> 00:06:07,701
"I 'heart' Willard R. Abbott"
cupcakes!
You know it.
170
00:06:07,701 --> 00:06:09,870
To match my "I 'heart'
Willard R. Abbott" shirt.
171
00:06:09,870 --> 00:06:11,246
I love that.
You know, I really admire
172
00:06:11,246 --> 00:06:12,372
the commitment
to the middle initial,
173
00:06:12,372 --> 00:06:13,874
but does anyone know
what the "R" stands for?
174
00:06:13,874 --> 00:06:15,250
Uh, maybe Rashid?
175
00:06:15,250 --> 00:06:17,168
No. Probably--
Probably Robert.
176
00:06:17,168 --> 00:06:21,214
Hello, Abbott Elementary
and community!
177
00:06:21,214 --> 00:06:23,300
My name is
Elizabeth Washington,
178
00:06:23,300 --> 00:06:25,844
and I am
the Chief Education Officer.
179
00:06:25,844 --> 00:06:28,680
I want to thank you all
so much for joining us
180
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:29,764
at this press opp--
181
00:06:29,764 --> 00:06:31,433
...party.
182
00:06:31,433 --> 00:06:32,892
Party.
183
00:06:32,892 --> 00:06:35,061
And I want to welcome
my mentee
184
00:06:35,061 --> 00:06:37,689
and Abbott's own
Janine Teagues
185
00:06:37,689 --> 00:06:40,692
to the stage
for opening remarks.
186
00:06:45,989 --> 00:06:48,575
Um, thank you.
Thank you, Elizab--
187
00:06:48,575 --> 00:06:51,161
Thank you, Elizabeth,
and thank you, everyone,
188
00:06:51,161 --> 00:06:53,580
for joining us
in this celebration.
189
00:06:53,580 --> 00:06:56,875
We have always known how
special Abbott Elementary is,
190
00:06:56,875 --> 00:07:01,630
but we are grateful that what we
know will now be set in stone.
191
00:07:01,630 --> 00:07:03,590
That's a plaque pun.
192
00:07:03,590 --> 00:07:04,966
Thank you, Joan.
193
00:07:04,966 --> 00:07:07,510
Yeah.
194
00:07:07,510 --> 00:07:10,597
And, finally, I'm gonna give
a posthumous thank you
195
00:07:10,597 --> 00:07:14,142
to Abbott Elementary's namesake,
Willard R. Abbott,
196
00:07:14,142 --> 00:07:17,395
who famously
crawled these very halls
197
00:07:17,395 --> 00:07:19,648
in a historical manner.
198
00:07:19,648 --> 00:07:21,316
Thank you.
We love you, Willard!
199
00:07:21,316 --> 00:07:22,651
Hey! Yes!
200
00:07:22,651 --> 00:07:25,403
Hey. H-Hey, Willard R. Abbott
was a racist.
201
00:07:26,946 --> 00:07:30,283
Oh, my.
Okay. So, we can't just
shout things out
202
00:07:30,283 --> 00:07:32,285
because it's fun
to shout.
It's true!
203
00:07:32,285 --> 00:07:33,620
Know your history!
204
00:07:33,620 --> 00:07:35,622
Okay. That's-- Easy.
205
00:07:35,622 --> 00:07:38,875
I want everybody to just
calm down and take a breath...
206
00:07:38,875 --> 00:07:41,336
Well, now we know
what the "R" stands for.
...and then welcome, uh,
207
00:07:41,336 --> 00:07:43,088
dialoguing
and different poin--
208
00:07:45,298 --> 00:07:48,593
And when you say racist,
you mean like racist racist?
209
00:07:48,593 --> 00:07:51,137
One racist is racist enough,
don't you think?
210
00:07:51,137 --> 00:07:53,556
I'm sorry. B.L.A.C.K.S.?
What does that even stand for?
211
00:07:53,556 --> 00:07:56,726
Building Love And
Creating Kids Safety, obviously.
212
00:07:56,726 --> 00:07:58,520
And don't be trying to change
the subject.
213
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,689
Now, Willard R. Abbott
was a city planner
214
00:08:00,689 --> 00:08:03,316
and his city plan was
to uphold segregation
215
00:08:03,316 --> 00:08:05,360
while red lining all
of Philadelphia.
216
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,362
Oh, my God.
How did I not know that?
217
00:08:07,362 --> 00:08:08,905
Am I bad at history?
218
00:08:08,905 --> 00:08:11,741
They have all kind of methods
for rewriting legacies.
219
00:08:11,741 --> 00:08:13,993
You know, like getting
schools named after themselves.
220
00:08:13,993 --> 00:08:15,453
I guess
we shouldn't be surprised
221
00:08:15,453 --> 00:08:17,455
that a white man of that era
was racist.
222
00:08:17,455 --> 00:08:20,500
And so none of you thought to,
like, background-check this guy?
223
00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:22,168
Are you even from
Philadelphia?
224
00:08:22,168 --> 00:08:23,837
Yeah, I mean, Joan,
did you know about this?
225
00:08:23,837 --> 00:08:26,047
Oh, yes, absolutely.
226
00:08:26,047 --> 00:08:27,340
Guess that tracks.
227
00:08:27,340 --> 00:08:28,800
There are a lot of landmarks
in this city
228
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,051
honoring bad men.
229
00:08:30,051 --> 00:08:32,303
And women.
No, wait. No.
230
00:08:32,303 --> 00:08:34,180
Ever been
on Columbus Boulevard?
231
00:08:34,180 --> 00:08:36,516
Literal state
of "Penn"-sylvania.
232
00:08:36,516 --> 00:08:39,185
Franklin Bridge, Franklin Court,
Franklin Institute.
233
00:08:39,185 --> 00:08:40,478
My uncle Franklin.
234
00:08:40,478 --> 00:08:42,355
A lot of eggs
in that Franklin basket.
235
00:08:42,355 --> 00:08:43,690
This is the nature
of history.
236
00:08:43,690 --> 00:08:45,024
It's not all good.
237
00:08:45,024 --> 00:08:46,484
I'm so mad...
238
00:08:46,484 --> 00:08:47,819
at you!
239
00:08:47,819 --> 00:08:49,529
Damn, why did
you have to bring this up?
240
00:08:49,529 --> 00:08:52,365
Okay, w-what if we change
the school's name to...
241
00:08:52,365 --> 00:08:54,784
um... blanking on people
who aren't problematic.
242
00:08:54,784 --> 00:08:56,953
"Doin' Just Fine" Elementary.
243
00:08:56,953 --> 00:09:00,123
We already have
100 school names and mascots
244
00:09:00,123 --> 00:09:01,833
already in line
for a makeover,
245
00:09:01,833 --> 00:09:04,544
and the ones that are racist
without having to Google
246
00:09:04,544 --> 00:09:05,962
are priority.
247
00:09:05,962 --> 00:09:08,465
And you're looking at
at least three to five years.
248
00:09:08,465 --> 00:09:10,925
I'm sorry, Janine.
This is too messy. We're out.
249
00:09:10,925 --> 00:09:12,302
No, wait.
My clout!
250
00:09:12,302 --> 00:09:13,720
Wait, uh, what if,
uh... what if--
251
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,388
There's no "what if."
252
00:09:15,388 --> 00:09:17,849
A stupid designation
is not gonna change anything
253
00:09:17,849 --> 00:09:18,892
about this school.
254
00:09:18,892 --> 00:09:20,101
We didn't have one yesterday.
255
00:09:20,101 --> 00:09:21,519
We don't have one today.
256
00:09:21,519 --> 00:09:23,354
But look on the bright side.
257
00:09:23,354 --> 00:09:25,273
The kids got pizza!
258
00:09:25,273 --> 00:09:26,858
Let's just leave it
at that.
259
00:09:26,858 --> 00:09:30,653
Guys, if we give up now,
we're named after a racist
260
00:09:30,653 --> 00:09:32,697
and we don't have
a plaque.
261
00:09:32,697 --> 00:09:34,949
Level with me, Liz.
What can we do?
262
00:09:34,949 --> 00:09:37,702
Well, I mean, the plaque
is already made, so
you're out of luck.
263
00:09:37,702 --> 00:09:41,915
Unless you can find another
Willard R. Abbott of note
264
00:09:41,915 --> 00:09:44,375
and say that
the school is named after him.
265
00:09:44,375 --> 00:09:45,251
Janine can do that.
I can do that.
266
00:09:45,251 --> 00:09:46,544
Oh, wow.
267
00:09:46,544 --> 00:09:49,464
Uh, so is it not clear
I was joking?
268
00:09:49,464 --> 00:09:51,674
Oh, so racism's
a laughing matter?
Mm-hmm.
269
00:09:51,674 --> 00:09:55,345
Of course not.
Great.
270
00:09:55,345 --> 00:09:56,846
So if my minions can find
a better Abbott,
271
00:09:56,846 --> 00:09:57,889
can we have the money?
272
00:09:57,889 --> 00:09:59,224
Because I've already
mentally spent it
273
00:09:59,224 --> 00:10:00,683
on zip ties,
beans, and birth control,
274
00:10:00,683 --> 00:10:02,227
and there's no returns
in the apocalypse.
275
00:10:02,227 --> 00:10:04,604
She means, does Abbott get
the recognition it deserves?
276
00:10:04,604 --> 00:10:06,397
I [sighs] I guess so.
277
00:10:08,191 --> 00:10:09,484
Chop, chop!
To the library!
278
00:10:09,484 --> 00:10:10,235
Yeah.
279
00:10:12,654 --> 00:10:14,405
Go help her!
Damn!
280
00:10:14,405 --> 00:10:15,907
What if she needs to reach
a book on the middle shelf?
281
00:10:20,620 --> 00:10:22,789
Okay, well, there are definitely
more Willard R. Abbotts
282
00:10:22,789 --> 00:10:24,124
than I expected.
283
00:10:24,124 --> 00:10:26,417
Oh, Abbott used to have
an indoor pool.
284
00:10:26,417 --> 00:10:27,961
Wait, no.
285
00:10:27,961 --> 00:10:29,420
Apparently the basement flooded
in '63
286
00:10:29,420 --> 00:10:31,548
and they just didn't
drain it until '71.
287
00:10:31,548 --> 00:10:32,590
Oh, God.
288
00:10:32,590 --> 00:10:34,092
Oh. Wow.
289
00:10:34,092 --> 00:10:35,802
Look at this picture
from the district archives.
290
00:10:35,802 --> 00:10:37,929
Hmm. I didn't know Abbott
had Black teachers back then.
291
00:10:37,929 --> 00:10:39,389
I didn't know
Philly did.
292
00:10:39,389 --> 00:10:41,558
Okay, trailblazing.
Hold on.
293
00:10:41,558 --> 00:10:44,811
Did Abbott have a real-life owl
as a mascot back in the '80s?
294
00:10:44,811 --> 00:10:46,062
Keep reading.
295
00:10:46,062 --> 00:10:48,565
"World's most rabid owl
discovered in local school."
296
00:10:48,565 --> 00:10:50,024
Yeah, that makes sense now.
Mm-hmm. Yeah.
297
00:10:50,024 --> 00:10:51,150
Oh!
Ohh.
298
00:10:51,150 --> 00:10:52,819
How does a book
smell bad?
299
00:10:52,819 --> 00:10:54,737
I cannot wait
to get my librarian program
300
00:10:54,737 --> 00:10:56,239
off the ground.
301
00:10:56,239 --> 00:10:57,866
Library program?
302
00:10:57,866 --> 00:11:00,577
Yeah.
Did I not tell you?
303
00:11:00,577 --> 00:11:03,872
Sorry.
I've been so busy.
304
00:11:03,872 --> 00:11:05,874
Okay, team,
I'm gonna go see
305
00:11:05,874 --> 00:11:07,292
if I can rustle up
anything in admin.
306
00:11:07,292 --> 00:11:08,293
Alright.
307
00:11:08,293 --> 00:11:10,253
Look. Research? Absolutely.
308
00:11:10,253 --> 00:11:12,797
But between us,
Janine and Gregory...
309
00:11:14,716 --> 00:11:17,969
...they're like a handsome moth
to a cutie-patootie flame.
310
00:11:17,969 --> 00:11:19,971
They've given: they will.
They've given: they won't.
311
00:11:19,971 --> 00:11:21,973
Now they're giving:
two people that kissed
312
00:11:21,973 --> 00:11:24,851
but decided to just be friends
for some Godforsaken reason.
313
00:11:24,851 --> 00:11:26,561
So, yeah.
314
00:11:26,561 --> 00:11:29,397
Figured they should
have some time alone.
315
00:11:29,397 --> 00:11:31,983
So...
316
00:11:31,983 --> 00:11:33,026
how has it been
at the district?
317
00:11:33,026 --> 00:11:35,361
Oh, it's been great, actually.
318
00:11:35,361 --> 00:11:36,905
Been learning a lot.
319
00:11:36,905 --> 00:11:39,240
It's different, though.
Clean.
320
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,826
Isn't that a good thing?
You know, you'd think,
321
00:11:41,826 --> 00:11:44,704
but I just miss
Abbott's ambience.
322
00:11:44,704 --> 00:11:46,497
Our dirt has a certain...
323
00:11:46,497 --> 00:11:47,582
"Janine" sais quoi.
324
00:11:51,044 --> 00:11:53,588
So, your, uh--
your library program...
325
00:11:53,588 --> 00:11:54,589
Mm-hmm.
326
00:11:54,589 --> 00:11:55,757
...will there
be microfiche?
327
00:11:55,757 --> 00:11:57,342
Of course not.
328
00:11:57,342 --> 00:12:00,053
Never mind.
That would be nuts, right?
329
00:12:00,053 --> 00:12:02,055
Yes, Gregory,
that would be nuts.
330
00:12:02,055 --> 00:12:04,849
Yeah, I know. I know.
But that's amazing, though.
331
00:12:04,849 --> 00:12:06,601
Thanks.
Look at you,
332
00:12:06,601 --> 00:12:08,937
programming stuff
and taking names.
333
00:12:08,937 --> 00:12:12,023
You're absurd...
and thank you.
334
00:12:12,023 --> 00:12:13,650
I'm absurd?
Yes.
335
00:12:13,650 --> 00:12:15,485
You're the one with a pin
that's a game of tic-tac-toe.
336
00:12:15,485 --> 00:12:17,445
I like this.
Yeah, I know you do.
337
00:12:17,445 --> 00:12:18,863
Guys! Guys!
I found something.
338
00:12:18,863 --> 00:12:20,490
What?
339
00:12:20,490 --> 00:12:23,034
Well, I found an idea,
like, in my head.
340
00:12:23,034 --> 00:12:24,202
Willy!
341
00:12:24,202 --> 00:12:25,703
You can't just say Willy
all willy-nilly.
342
00:12:25,703 --> 00:12:28,456
What is...?
Short for Willard.
343
00:12:28,456 --> 00:12:29,999
Okay. We searched for
Willard R. Abbott
344
00:12:29,999 --> 00:12:33,586
and Bill Abbott,
but we didn't search for Willy.
345
00:12:33,586 --> 00:12:36,172
Willy is insane,
but okay.
346
00:12:38,216 --> 00:12:42,220
Oh, my God, Willy Abbott,
AKA Willard R. Abbott V.
347
00:12:42,220 --> 00:12:43,596
He's a direct descendant.
348
00:12:43,596 --> 00:12:46,724
Environmental philanthropist.
Seems promising.
349
00:12:46,724 --> 00:12:48,059
He funds environmental
research
350
00:12:48,059 --> 00:12:49,686
and he works to combat
misinformation.
351
00:12:49,686 --> 00:12:51,729
He's-- He's--
He's basically a hero!
352
00:12:51,729 --> 00:12:52,939
Okay.
Alright, keep looking.
353
00:12:52,939 --> 00:12:54,565
Let's make sure
that he's squeaky clean.
354
00:12:54,565 --> 00:12:56,651
He wrote a Medium article...
Oh, no.
355
00:12:56,651 --> 00:12:58,194
...denouncing
the racist views
356
00:12:58,194 --> 00:12:59,946
of his great-great-grandfather
and namesake,
357
00:12:59,946 --> 00:13:02,407
Willard R. Abbott!
Hot damn!
358
00:13:02,407 --> 00:13:04,659
He has a contact form
on his website.
359
00:13:04,659 --> 00:13:06,911
Let's free Willy.
Let's just e-mail him, yeah?
360
00:13:06,911 --> 00:13:07,495
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
361
00:13:11,916 --> 00:13:13,376
So, what are we thinking
racism-wise?
362
00:13:13,376 --> 00:13:14,794
I can't tell
by his outfit.
363
00:13:14,794 --> 00:13:17,714
Good find.
He's a charmer.
364
00:13:17,714 --> 00:13:19,132
Thank you guys so much
for coming back
365
00:13:19,132 --> 00:13:20,550
and giving us
another shot.
366
00:13:20,550 --> 00:13:22,593
Well, the plaque was
very expensive, yeah.
Yep.
367
00:13:22,593 --> 00:13:24,429
But, um, seems legit.
We vetted him.
368
00:13:26,014 --> 00:13:29,434
At the district, "vet" means
checked for a pulse.
369
00:13:29,434 --> 00:13:32,145
You know,
another pass wouldn't hurt.
370
00:13:32,145 --> 00:13:34,022
Especially
with his demographic.
371
00:13:34,022 --> 00:13:36,149
Ask him if he thinks
the moon is a spaceship.
372
00:13:36,149 --> 00:13:37,358
You know what?
I'll handle this.
373
00:13:37,358 --> 00:13:41,237
Oh.
Hey, Willy,
how you doing?
374
00:13:41,237 --> 00:13:43,364
So, I wanted to ask
you a couple of questions.
375
00:13:43,364 --> 00:13:45,867
Man, you guys
sure are thorough, huh?
376
00:13:45,867 --> 00:13:48,202
Alright. Fill in the blank.
"Women are..."
377
00:13:48,202 --> 00:13:50,455
Great leaders.
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
378
00:13:50,455 --> 00:13:51,914
Thoughts on birds?
379
00:13:51,914 --> 00:13:54,667
Real.
And majestic.
380
00:13:54,667 --> 00:13:56,294
Also, go Birds!
381
00:13:56,294 --> 00:13:57,920
Lifetime
season ticket order.
Yeah.
Okay.
382
00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:58,921
Where were you
on January 6th?!
383
00:13:58,921 --> 00:14:00,089
Hey!
Have some decorum.
384
00:14:00,089 --> 00:14:02,258
Oh, my God.
I got this.
385
00:14:02,258 --> 00:14:03,801
Well?
386
00:14:03,801 --> 00:14:05,845
In a coma actually.
387
00:14:05,845 --> 00:14:07,680
'Cause you
fell off a wall?
388
00:14:07,680 --> 00:14:10,683
Medically induced.
Tricky wisdom tooth situation.
389
00:14:10,683 --> 00:14:12,226
That is great.
390
00:14:12,226 --> 00:14:13,853
Okay, let's get you
up on stage.
Great.
391
00:14:13,853 --> 00:14:16,439
Alright.
392
00:14:16,439 --> 00:14:18,357
It is time
to introduce our guest...
393
00:14:20,735 --> 00:14:24,155
...good guy philanthropist
and the name on this plaque,
394
00:14:24,155 --> 00:14:27,241
Willard R. Abbott V.
395
00:14:27,241 --> 00:14:29,202
Thank you.
Thank you, Principal Coleman.
396
00:14:29,202 --> 00:14:30,411
And you can
call me Willy.
397
00:14:30,411 --> 00:14:32,163
Willard's
actually better for us.
398
00:14:32,163 --> 00:14:35,666
A school as wonderful
as this
399
00:14:35,666 --> 00:14:38,669
shouldn't be named after a man
like my great-great-grandfather.
400
00:14:38,669 --> 00:14:41,089
I've spent my life
and career
401
00:14:41,089 --> 00:14:42,507
using family money
to try
402
00:14:42,507 --> 00:14:45,718
and fight environmental
prejudice and inequality,
403
00:14:45,718 --> 00:14:49,013
to right the wrongs
of Abbott's past.
404
00:14:49,013 --> 00:14:51,516
And I accept this honor...
405
00:14:51,516 --> 00:14:53,643
with that pledge in mind.
406
00:14:53,643 --> 00:14:55,937
The world is such
a beautiful place,
407
00:14:55,937 --> 00:14:57,939
and we want to
keep it that way.
408
00:14:57,939 --> 00:15:01,400
This planet is
in desperate need of saving.
409
00:15:03,611 --> 00:15:06,572
And there is no place
for racism
410
00:15:06,572 --> 00:15:10,243
from one edge of the Earth
all the way to the other.
411
00:15:10,243 --> 00:15:12,245
Now, I don't claim
to know all,
412
00:15:12,245 --> 00:15:17,375
but I do know that this
flat Earth is our home for now.
413
00:15:17,375 --> 00:15:18,584
Excuse me, what?
414
00:15:18,584 --> 00:15:20,378
Yeah. Alright.
Let's, um...
415
00:15:20,378 --> 00:15:22,463
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
Let him cook.
416
00:15:22,463 --> 00:15:26,008
The gravity of this situation
is undeniable,
417
00:15:26,008 --> 00:15:27,426
even though gravity itself
isn't real.
418
00:15:27,426 --> 00:15:30,263
Okay.
419
00:15:30,263 --> 00:15:32,223
This is
all Janine's fault.
420
00:15:32,223 --> 00:15:33,766
The Earth is flat?
421
00:15:33,766 --> 00:15:35,685
Yes.
No, no, no. No.
The Earth is a globe.
422
00:15:35,685 --> 00:15:36,686
It is round, students.
423
00:15:36,686 --> 00:15:38,437
Then explain maps.
424
00:15:38,437 --> 00:15:39,313
Okay, let's go.
425
00:15:39,313 --> 00:15:40,148
Okay.
426
00:15:40,148 --> 00:15:41,607
No, wait, wait.
No.
427
00:15:41,607 --> 00:15:43,985
I'm sorry, Janine.
We were never here.
428
00:15:43,985 --> 00:15:46,028
And the moon
is a spaceship!
429
00:15:46,028 --> 00:15:48,823
Okay.
Told you.
Real recognize real.
430
00:15:53,953 --> 00:15:56,080
You have fun?
431
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:57,206
Janine.
432
00:15:57,206 --> 00:15:59,584
Don't gloat just yet, please.
433
00:15:59,584 --> 00:16:01,502
I'm going to think of a way
to save this.
434
00:16:01,502 --> 00:16:03,212
Just need to sulk
for a second.
435
00:16:03,212 --> 00:16:04,589
I'm not here to gloat.
436
00:16:04,589 --> 00:16:05,756
Yeah,
we already did that
437
00:16:05,756 --> 00:16:07,466
a few minutes ago
behind your back.
438
00:16:07,466 --> 00:16:11,012
Janine, we usually understand
where it is you're coming from,
439
00:16:11,012 --> 00:16:14,432
even if we disagree, but
we're not really getting this.
440
00:16:14,432 --> 00:16:16,934
Why are you so obsessed
with a plaque?
441
00:16:16,934 --> 00:16:18,769
I just love this school
so much.
442
00:16:18,769 --> 00:16:21,439
Yes. That's your
defining characteristic.
443
00:16:21,439 --> 00:16:24,400
I can't be here
every day this year,
444
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,861
and so it's just made
it more clear, you know?
445
00:16:26,861 --> 00:16:29,655
These kids, the people
in the community who went here,
446
00:16:29,655 --> 00:16:33,075
we all know that this isn't
just some school.
447
00:16:33,075 --> 00:16:34,410
It's special.
448
00:16:34,410 --> 00:16:36,454
And I know
it was just a plaque,
449
00:16:36,454 --> 00:16:39,457
but...
it was validation.
450
00:16:39,457 --> 00:16:41,042
I really wanted that
for us.
451
00:16:41,042 --> 00:16:43,127
Well, tell me this.
452
00:16:43,127 --> 00:16:46,172
What makes Abbott special
for you?
453
00:16:46,172 --> 00:16:50,134
What we teach,
what we learn...
454
00:16:50,134 --> 00:16:53,137
the kids,
teachers like you two.
455
00:16:53,137 --> 00:16:55,806
Exactly.
A plaque can't convey that.
456
00:16:55,806 --> 00:16:59,352
Yeah. We don't have to prove
our worth to anybody out there.
457
00:16:59,352 --> 00:17:01,479
Plus, somebody would've
just stolen that plaque
458
00:17:01,479 --> 00:17:04,690
and melted it down
and made, like, the perfect,
459
00:17:04,690 --> 00:17:07,944
lightweight meat tenderizer
with just a-- a swing...
460
00:17:07,944 --> 00:17:09,737
like a dream.
461
00:17:11,530 --> 00:17:14,533
I-I guess I just thought it was
a chance to do something.
462
00:17:14,533 --> 00:17:18,037
What we do is we teach
these remarkable students
463
00:17:18,037 --> 00:17:21,499
the best we can
with what we have.
464
00:17:21,499 --> 00:17:23,501
And that is what
teachers have done here
465
00:17:23,501 --> 00:17:25,544
at Abbott
since it opened.
466
00:17:25,544 --> 00:17:28,589
There you go.
Now that is special enough.
467
00:17:30,216 --> 00:17:31,384
Thanks, guys.
468
00:17:31,384 --> 00:17:34,303
I would love to sit
in this moment with you,
469
00:17:34,303 --> 00:17:36,847
but I just thought of a plan
that will fix everything,
470
00:17:36,847 --> 00:17:39,600
ignoring your pleas
for me to let it rest.
471
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:40,434
I love you. Bye.
472
00:17:43,521 --> 00:17:45,273
Now, I'll tell you what he
should have been nominated for
473
00:17:45,273 --> 00:17:46,524
was "Failure to Launch."
474
00:17:46,524 --> 00:17:47,900
I thought that was
McConaughey.
475
00:17:47,900 --> 00:17:49,735
It's both of them.
That's why--
476
00:17:51,070 --> 00:17:52,363
You know, you don't
have to run everywhere.
477
00:17:52,363 --> 00:17:54,156
I wasn't running,
but I am excited.
478
00:17:54,156 --> 00:17:55,491
Don't tell me there's
a sixth Willard.
479
00:17:55,491 --> 00:17:56,617
No. Better.
480
00:17:56,617 --> 00:17:58,619
I'll tell you more
when we get there.
481
00:17:58,619 --> 00:17:59,412
Ooh.
482
00:18:01,414 --> 00:18:03,332
I thought it was clear
we move in a pack.
483
00:18:03,332 --> 00:18:05,418
To the district archives
we go!
484
00:18:08,588 --> 00:18:09,922
Ooh!
485
00:18:12,883 --> 00:18:15,052
I don't know why I was waiting
for random people to tell us
486
00:18:15,052 --> 00:18:16,721
that Abbott is important.
487
00:18:16,721 --> 00:18:17,972
I'm Janine Teagues,
damn it.
488
00:18:17,972 --> 00:18:20,224
I don't wait for anything.
489
00:18:20,224 --> 00:18:23,227
Except when it's polite.
That's just courtesy.
490
00:18:23,227 --> 00:18:27,189
History happens every day,
even when it's overlooked,
491
00:18:27,189 --> 00:18:30,151
especially
when it's overlooked
492
00:18:30,151 --> 00:18:33,446
and I overlooked some,
right in front of us.
493
00:18:36,490 --> 00:18:37,450
Okay.
494
00:18:37,450 --> 00:18:39,869
Um, let me just...
real quick.
495
00:18:39,869 --> 00:18:42,204
Oh. Mm, yeah. Okay.
Mm-hmm.
496
00:18:42,204 --> 00:18:45,082
No news cameras,
no blonde women.
497
00:18:45,082 --> 00:18:46,917
What's with all
the pomp and circumstance?
498
00:18:48,544 --> 00:18:50,880
Over a century
and a half ago,
499
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,466
there were no Black teachers
in this city.
500
00:18:53,466 --> 00:18:56,260
And in 1862,
Banneker Colored School
501
00:18:56,260 --> 00:18:58,888
hired Philadelphia's
first Black teacher
502
00:18:58,888 --> 00:19:00,473
in a public school.
503
00:19:00,473 --> 00:19:03,476
He was a pioneer
named John Quincy Allen.
504
00:19:03,476 --> 00:19:06,937
Soon after, another school,
our school,
505
00:19:06,937 --> 00:19:10,608
hired the first group
of Black teachers in the city.
506
00:19:10,608 --> 00:19:14,362
They had no idea what history
they were making at the time,
507
00:19:14,362 --> 00:19:16,072
but that was for us
to find out.
508
00:19:16,072 --> 00:19:17,615
And now we know.
509
00:19:17,615 --> 00:19:21,494
They came here every day
through unimaginable adversity
510
00:19:21,494 --> 00:19:23,245
to teach
remarkable students
511
00:19:23,245 --> 00:19:25,956
while doing the very best
with what they had.
512
00:19:25,956 --> 00:19:29,001
So we may not have a plaque,
but it's okay.
513
00:19:29,001 --> 00:19:30,670
We don't need one,
514
00:19:30,670 --> 00:19:33,005
because it's what's
on the inside that counts.
515
00:19:33,005 --> 00:19:34,965
And what's on the inside
is us,
516
00:19:34,965 --> 00:19:37,635
and there would be no us
without them.
517
00:19:43,307 --> 00:19:45,059
That was great, Janine.
Thank you.
518
00:19:45,059 --> 00:19:46,977
Yeah, that was really something, hon.
519
00:19:46,977 --> 00:19:49,814
Yeah,
it's a cute picture,
520
00:19:49,814 --> 00:19:51,690
but it'd be cuter
with some cash on top.
521
00:19:51,690 --> 00:19:54,151
Here is 10 bucks, Ava.
Are you happy now?
522
00:19:54,151 --> 00:19:55,820
Yes.
523
00:19:55,820 --> 00:19:57,113
Is that so wrong?
524
00:20:01,367 --> 00:20:03,244
Which one do you think
was the Jacob?
525
00:20:03,244 --> 00:20:04,245
None of them.
None of them.
526
00:20:04,245 --> 00:20:05,287
Yeah.
527
00:20:05,287 --> 00:20:06,622
Oh
528
00:20:06,622 --> 00:20:08,999
For the last time,
stop trying to take my job.
