1
00:00:01,089 --> 00:00:03,467
Okay.
Thank you, Melanie,
2
00:00:03,467 --> 00:00:05,260
for showing us the inside
of your eyelids again.
3
00:00:05,260 --> 00:00:06,720
Okay. Khalil, come on.
You're up.
4
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:08,889
What you got?
5
00:00:08,889 --> 00:00:12,768
For Show-and-Tell, I brought
a famous person I saw outside.
6
00:00:12,768 --> 00:00:13,936
Come on in.
7
00:00:13,936 --> 00:00:16,271
Hi, I'm Bradley Cooper.
What?
8
00:00:16,271 --> 00:00:19,608
Y-You are Bradley Cooper.
Why are you Bradley Cooper?
9
00:00:19,608 --> 00:00:21,193
And why are you here?
10
00:00:21,193 --> 00:00:22,402
Uh, well,
whenever I'm in Philly,
11
00:00:22,402 --> 00:00:24,488
you know the deli
across the street?
12
00:00:24,488 --> 00:00:26,490
Uh, that's my first stop. My dad
used to always take me there.
13
00:00:26,490 --> 00:00:27,532
They have the best hoagies
in the city.
14
00:00:28,867 --> 00:00:30,869
Everybody wanted to take
a picture with him,
15
00:00:30,869 --> 00:00:33,539
so I figured
he was famous.
Yeah, you bet he is.
16
00:00:33,539 --> 00:00:35,874
I'm just texting the other
teachers, not paps.
That's okay.
17
00:00:35,874 --> 00:00:38,252
Anyway, so when my friend here
asked me to come by,
18
00:00:38,252 --> 00:00:39,962
I had a minute,
so I thought, "What the heck?"
19
00:00:39,962 --> 00:00:42,214
If you're famous,
are you in "Spider-Man"?
20
00:00:42,214 --> 00:00:43,507
I'm not in "Spider-Man,"
21
00:00:43,507 --> 00:00:45,425
but I am in "Guardians
of the Galaxy."
22
00:00:45,425 --> 00:00:46,885
No, you're not!
23
00:00:46,885 --> 00:00:48,470
Are you frickin' kiddin' me?
24
00:00:48,470 --> 00:00:50,013
I'm the voice
of Rocket Raccoon!
25
00:00:51,974 --> 00:00:53,809
And the face
of "Alias."
26
00:00:53,809 --> 00:00:56,436
Not the face of.
Yeah, you were the face.
27
00:00:56,436 --> 00:00:58,063
A-And "He's Just
Not That Into You."
28
00:00:58,063 --> 00:01:00,232
Well, Janine,
that was rude.
29
00:01:00,232 --> 00:01:02,276
No, I-I mean
"He's Just Not That Into You"
30
00:01:02,276 --> 00:01:04,027
is my favorite
Bradley Cooper film.
31
00:01:04,027 --> 00:01:05,195
It's more
of an ensemble,
32
00:01:05,195 --> 00:01:06,405
but if you think
about it,
33
00:01:06,405 --> 00:01:07,906
it's Justin Long's movie.
34
00:01:07,906 --> 00:01:09,866
You crazy, Bradley.
35
00:01:09,866 --> 00:01:12,911
Oh, I've been a Cooper Trooper
since "Wet Hot American Summer."
36
00:01:12,911 --> 00:01:14,663
Well, you look different
in person.
37
00:01:14,663 --> 00:01:15,831
You don't look famous.
38
00:01:15,831 --> 00:01:17,666
Yeah. Shouldn't your teeth
be whiter?
39
00:01:17,666 --> 00:01:19,585
They should,
40
00:01:19,585 --> 00:01:21,503
but I can't whiten them
because they're too sensitive.
41
00:01:21,503 --> 00:01:23,797
Oh.
I just loved you
in "The Holdovers."
42
00:01:23,797 --> 00:01:26,633
It was just
so heartwarming.
43
00:01:26,633 --> 00:01:28,343
It's "The Hangover,"
and, no, it's not.
44
00:01:28,343 --> 00:01:30,387
Guys, he's literally
in a critically acclaimed film
45
00:01:30,387 --> 00:01:32,014
right now.
"Oppenheimer."
46
00:01:32,014 --> 00:01:33,432
Is that the one
about Napoleon?
47
00:01:33,432 --> 00:01:35,642
Yes.
I don't think so.
I'm not in "Oppenheimer."
48
00:01:35,642 --> 00:01:37,644
Are you sure? Everybody
was in "Oppenheimer."
49
00:01:37,644 --> 00:01:38,770
Yeah.
50
00:01:38,770 --> 00:01:41,023
Why are there cameras here?
51
00:01:41,023 --> 00:01:43,191
It's a long story, Brad.
Bradley.
52
00:01:43,191 --> 00:01:44,860
Um, but, hey,
since we have you --
53
00:01:44,860 --> 00:01:47,571
Okay, I-I do you have to
get that hoagie, so, um...
54
00:01:47,571 --> 00:01:48,989
but this -- this was
so much fun,
55
00:01:48,989 --> 00:01:50,240
and does Khalil
get an "A"?
56
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:51,867
Oh, hell yeah,
he does.
57
00:01:51,867 --> 00:01:53,452
Um, can you stay and take
just one picture before you go?
58
00:01:53,452 --> 00:01:54,953
Yeah, of course.
Okay. Thank you.
59
00:01:54,953 --> 00:01:57,497
Let's do it. Ooh!
Get in, get in, get in.
60
00:01:57,497 --> 00:01:59,416
Hey.
This is so exciting.
61
00:01:59,416 --> 00:02:01,460
I can't wait to tell
everyone at the district.
62
00:02:01,460 --> 00:02:02,919
Oh, you work
at the school district?
Yeah.
63
00:02:02,919 --> 00:02:05,547
Oh, you know that these schools
are criminally underfunded?
64
00:02:05,547 --> 00:02:07,007
It's proven every--
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah. I'm working on it.
65
00:02:07,007 --> 00:02:08,550
Let's just take the picture.
Okay.
66
00:02:11,678 --> 00:02:19,645
♪♪
67
00:02:21,980 --> 00:02:23,649
Jacob:
Look, guys, I don't know.
68
00:02:23,649 --> 00:02:26,234
She just said she's "dropping
by with a special surprise."
69
00:02:26,234 --> 00:02:28,028
Wait, who's coming?
Janine?
70
00:02:28,028 --> 00:02:29,237
It's not too late to leave,
y'all.
71
00:02:29,237 --> 00:02:31,323
She can't annoy us if
we're not here.
72
00:02:31,323 --> 00:02:34,576
Hello! Hi, everyone!
Sorry we're late.
73
00:02:34,576 --> 00:02:38,288
But do notice that we are a we,
which is exciting.
74
00:02:38,288 --> 00:02:40,540
Please meet Joan
from the city.
75
00:02:40,540 --> 00:02:42,459
And you'll remember
Elizabeth Washington
76
00:02:42,459 --> 00:02:44,419
from the Education Board.
77
00:02:44,419 --> 00:02:46,421
Okay, what's up?
'Cause last time she was here,
78
00:02:46,421 --> 00:02:49,007
I had to eulogize Gregory at
the Educator of the Year thing.
79
00:02:49,007 --> 00:02:51,301
There's my star.
80
00:02:51,301 --> 00:02:53,887
Hey, you never sent me
thank you flowers.
81
00:02:53,887 --> 00:02:55,389
This is my nightmare.
82
00:02:55,389 --> 00:02:57,474
Literally, she's
my sleep paralysis demon.
83
00:02:57,474 --> 00:03:00,644
Abbott Elementary
is set to be designated
84
00:03:00,644 --> 00:03:05,273
as a historical landmark
in the city of Philadelphia.
85
00:03:05,273 --> 00:03:06,900
We're gonna be
a historical place?
86
00:03:06,900 --> 00:03:08,568
Cha-ching!
87
00:03:08,568 --> 00:03:09,653
What?
88
00:03:09,653 --> 00:03:10,779
It comes
with a discretionary fund
89
00:03:10,779 --> 00:03:12,489
for structural upkeep.
90
00:03:12,489 --> 00:03:13,657
Yeah, that's true.
91
00:03:13,657 --> 00:03:15,784
My great aunt's
pastrami shop got designated
92
00:03:15,784 --> 00:03:18,370
'cause Dick Clark looked
through the window once.
93
00:03:18,370 --> 00:03:20,414
We've always known
how special Abbott is,
94
00:03:20,414 --> 00:03:22,582
but now we're historic.
95
00:03:22,582 --> 00:03:24,126
Like the "Rocky" stairs.
96
00:03:24,126 --> 00:03:26,837
Not quite, as Rocky
is a fictional character.
97
00:03:26,837 --> 00:03:28,213
How about we throw you
down those stairs,
98
00:03:28,213 --> 00:03:29,506
and you can see how fictional
they feel?!
99
00:03:29,506 --> 00:03:31,466
I think she just means like
the home of Betsy Ross.
100
00:03:31,466 --> 00:03:32,801
Right? Okay.
101
00:03:32,801 --> 00:03:34,094
Oh, my God, guys,
102
00:03:34,094 --> 00:03:36,430
we're probably going to be
a part of walking tours.
103
00:03:36,430 --> 00:03:38,140
Oh, my gosh.
Who's gonna give the tour?
104
00:03:38,140 --> 00:03:39,266
Uh, okay. I'll do it.
Barbara: Okay.
105
00:03:39,266 --> 00:03:42,727
Abbott is certainly old,
but historic?
106
00:03:42,727 --> 00:03:45,147
Willard R. Abbott himself
107
00:03:45,147 --> 00:03:49,234
used this very building
as a bomb shelter.
108
00:03:49,234 --> 00:03:50,861
It actually turned out
to be a false alarm.
109
00:03:50,861 --> 00:03:52,612
Nevertheless,
110
00:03:52,612 --> 00:03:56,116
a great man cowered
on this hallowed ground.
111
00:03:56,116 --> 00:03:57,868
That's right.
We're gonna be famous.
112
00:03:57,868 --> 00:04:00,287
Aah! This is so cool.
113
00:04:00,287 --> 00:04:03,957
Working at the district,
we treat every school as equal.
114
00:04:03,957 --> 00:04:05,834
But I always knew
Abbott was exceptional.
115
00:04:05,834 --> 00:04:07,335
And now the city agrees.
116
00:04:07,335 --> 00:04:09,588
Eat it, all other schools
in the district!
117
00:04:11,715 --> 00:04:13,258
You'll cut that part out,
right?
118
00:04:13,258 --> 00:04:15,594
Attention
Abbott Elementarians...
119
00:04:15,594 --> 00:04:17,512
it's your captain,
Principal Coleman, speaking.
120
00:04:17,512 --> 00:04:19,222
If you're learning, stop.
121
00:04:19,222 --> 00:04:21,266
Abbott Elementary,
the school that I raised,
122
00:04:21,266 --> 00:04:23,894
is becoming a Philly
historical landmark.
123
00:04:23,894 --> 00:04:26,146
There will be a plaque ceremony
honoring our school's
124
00:04:26,146 --> 00:04:28,190
namesake,
Willard R. Abbott.
125
00:04:28,190 --> 00:04:29,775
And if that sounds old
and dusty to you,
126
00:04:29,775 --> 00:04:31,860
the district is also
throwing a pre-party
127
00:04:31,860 --> 00:04:33,361
for us and the neighborhood.
128
00:04:33,361 --> 00:04:35,030
We're partying
on the district's tab.
129
00:04:35,030 --> 00:04:36,781
Oh, and there will be pizza.
130
00:04:38,783 --> 00:04:40,702
You're welcome.
131
00:04:40,702 --> 00:04:42,662
Just imagine how
many people are gonna be posing
132
00:04:42,662 --> 00:04:44,456
with peace signs out
by the plaque.
133
00:04:44,456 --> 00:04:46,958
Oh, no. People do
finger hearts now. Like that.
134
00:04:46,958 --> 00:04:49,044
I have to admit,
this is impressive.
135
00:04:49,044 --> 00:04:50,253
I already feel
more distinguished.
136
00:04:50,253 --> 00:04:51,922
You can't even spell
"distinguished."
137
00:04:53,840 --> 00:04:56,676
Barbara, Melissa.
138
00:04:56,676 --> 00:04:58,887
That was your, uh,
"This is amazing look," huh?
139
00:04:58,887 --> 00:05:00,055
Right?
140
00:05:00,055 --> 00:05:01,932
I'm so happy
you're happy.
141
00:05:01,932 --> 00:05:03,016
But?
142
00:05:03,016 --> 00:05:04,226
No but.
There's a but.
143
00:05:04,226 --> 00:05:05,811
I can feel a but.
144
00:05:05,811 --> 00:05:07,479
Damn.
You freaky.
145
00:05:08,772 --> 00:05:10,565
But...
I knew it.
146
00:05:10,565 --> 00:05:13,276
...Janine, this is
just local politics.
147
00:05:13,276 --> 00:05:15,237
It's got nothing
to do with our school.
148
00:05:15,237 --> 00:05:16,780
Melissa: Yeah.
Plus this is Philly.
149
00:05:16,780 --> 00:05:18,949
I mean, you can't hock a loogie
without hitting
150
00:05:18,949 --> 00:05:20,659
something historic
around here.
151
00:05:20,659 --> 00:05:22,536
Oh, my God, please.
152
00:05:22,536 --> 00:05:25,497
Just one parade without Barbara
clouds and Melissa meatballs.
153
00:05:25,497 --> 00:05:27,457
You wish
it rained my meatballs.
154
00:05:27,457 --> 00:05:30,043
And let me remind you,
you asked.
155
00:05:30,043 --> 00:05:31,545
Uh, yes,
but that was before
156
00:05:31,545 --> 00:05:33,296
when I thought
I would like to answer.
157
00:05:33,296 --> 00:05:35,048
No one is saying
that meaningless accolades
158
00:05:35,048 --> 00:05:37,551
can't be a win-win,
but...
159
00:05:37,551 --> 00:05:40,595
No, it's more like
a don't care...
...don't care.
160
00:05:41,638 --> 00:05:43,139
Like I said,
161
00:05:43,139 --> 00:05:47,435
I am so happy
you are happy.
162
00:05:47,435 --> 00:05:49,938
Yeah, we're ecstatic.
For you.
163
00:05:49,938 --> 00:05:51,064
Okay, well, that's good,
164
00:05:51,064 --> 00:05:53,316
because it is
objectively cool
165
00:05:53,316 --> 00:05:55,986
that Abbott won't be able
to be overlooked anymore.
166
00:05:55,986 --> 00:05:59,239
You know? We're finally getting
the recognition we deserve.
167
00:05:59,239 --> 00:06:00,907
You can't even spell
"deserve."
168
00:06:02,617 --> 00:06:03,785
There you go.
169
00:06:03,785 --> 00:06:05,537
Ooh!
Hey.
170
00:06:05,537 --> 00:06:07,706
"I 'heart' Willard R. Abbott"
cupcakes!
You know it.
171
00:06:07,706 --> 00:06:09,875
To match my "I 'heart'
Willard R. Abbott" shirt.
172
00:06:09,875 --> 00:06:11,251
I love that.
Gregory:
You know, I really admire
173
00:06:11,251 --> 00:06:12,377
the commitment
to the middle initial,
174
00:06:12,377 --> 00:06:13,879
but does anyone know
what the "R" stands for?
175
00:06:13,879 --> 00:06:15,255
Uh, maybe Rashid?
176
00:06:15,255 --> 00:06:17,173
No. Probably --
Probably Robert.
177
00:06:17,173 --> 00:06:21,219
Hello, Abbott Elementary
and community!
178
00:06:21,219 --> 00:06:23,305
My name is
Elizabeth Washington,
179
00:06:23,305 --> 00:06:25,849
and I am
the Chief Education Officer.
180
00:06:25,849 --> 00:06:28,685
I want to thank you all
so much for joining us
181
00:06:28,685 --> 00:06:29,769
at this press opp--
182
00:06:29,769 --> 00:06:31,438
...party.
183
00:06:31,438 --> 00:06:32,897
Party.
184
00:06:32,897 --> 00:06:35,066
And I want to welcome
my mentee
185
00:06:35,066 --> 00:06:37,694
and Abbott's own
Janine Teagues
186
00:06:37,694 --> 00:06:40,697
to the stage
for opening remarks.
187
00:06:45,994 --> 00:06:48,580
Um, thank you.
Thank you, Elizab--
188
00:06:48,580 --> 00:06:51,166
Thank you, Elizabeth,
and thank you, everyone,
189
00:06:51,166 --> 00:06:53,585
for joining us
in this celebration.
190
00:06:53,585 --> 00:06:56,880
We have always known how
special Abbott Elementary is,
191
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:01,635
but we are grateful that what we
know will now be set in stone.
192
00:07:01,635 --> 00:07:03,595
That's a plaque pun.
193
00:07:03,595 --> 00:07:04,971
Thank you, Joan.
194
00:07:04,971 --> 00:07:07,515
Yeah.
195
00:07:07,515 --> 00:07:10,602
And, finally, I'm gonna give
a posthumous thank you
196
00:07:10,602 --> 00:07:14,147
to Abbott Elementary's namesake,
Willard R. Abbott,
197
00:07:14,147 --> 00:07:17,400
who famously
crawled these very halls
198
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,653
in a historical manner.
199
00:07:19,653 --> 00:07:21,321
Thank you.
We love you, Willard!
200
00:07:21,321 --> 00:07:22,656
Elizabeth: Hey! Yes!
201
00:07:22,656 --> 00:07:25,408
Hey. H-Hey, Willard R. Abbott
was a racist.
202
00:07:26,951 --> 00:07:30,288
Oh, my.
Okay. So, we can't just
shout things out
203
00:07:30,288 --> 00:07:32,290
because it's fun
to shout.
It's true!
204
00:07:32,290 --> 00:07:33,625
Know your history!
205
00:07:33,625 --> 00:07:35,627
Okay. That's -- Easy.
206
00:07:35,627 --> 00:07:38,880
I want everybody to just
calm down and take a breath...
207
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,341
Well, now we know
what the "R" stands for.
...and then welcome, uh,
208
00:07:41,341 --> 00:07:43,093
dialoguing
and different poin--
209
00:07:45,303 --> 00:07:48,598
And when you say racist,
you mean like racist racist?
210
00:07:48,598 --> 00:07:51,142
One racist is racist enough,
don't you think?
211
00:07:51,142 --> 00:07:53,561
I'm sorry. B.L.A.C.K.S.?
What does that even stand for?
212
00:07:53,561 --> 00:07:56,731
Building Love And
Creating Kids Safety, obviously.
213
00:07:56,731 --> 00:07:58,525
And don't be trying to change
the subject.
214
00:07:58,525 --> 00:08:00,694
Now, Willard R. Abbott
was a city planner
215
00:08:00,694 --> 00:08:03,321
and his city plan was
to uphold segregation
216
00:08:03,321 --> 00:08:05,365
while red lining all
of Philadelphia.
217
00:08:05,365 --> 00:08:07,367
Oh, my God.
How did I not know that?
218
00:08:07,367 --> 00:08:08,910
Am I bad at history?
219
00:08:08,910 --> 00:08:11,746
They have all kind of methods
for rewriting legacies.
220
00:08:11,746 --> 00:08:13,998
You know, like getting
schools named after themselves.
221
00:08:13,998 --> 00:08:15,458
I guess
we shouldn't be surprised
222
00:08:15,458 --> 00:08:17,460
that a white man of that era
was racist.
223
00:08:17,460 --> 00:08:20,505
And so none of you thought to,
like, background-check this guy?
224
00:08:20,505 --> 00:08:22,173
Are you even from
Philadelphia?
225
00:08:22,173 --> 00:08:23,842
Yeah, I mean, Joan,
did you know about this?
226
00:08:23,842 --> 00:08:26,052
Oh, yes, absolutely.
227
00:08:26,052 --> 00:08:27,345
Janine: Guess that tracks.
228
00:08:27,345 --> 00:08:28,805
There are a lot of landmarks
in this city
229
00:08:28,805 --> 00:08:30,056
honoring bad men.
230
00:08:30,056 --> 00:08:32,308
And women.
No, wait. No.
231
00:08:32,308 --> 00:08:34,185
Ever been
on Columbus Boulevard?
232
00:08:34,185 --> 00:08:36,521
Literal state
of "Penn"-sylvania.
233
00:08:36,521 --> 00:08:39,190
Franklin Bridge, Franklin Court,
Franklin Institute.
234
00:08:39,190 --> 00:08:40,483
My uncle Franklin.
235
00:08:40,483 --> 00:08:42,360
A lot of eggs
in that Franklin basket.
236
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:43,695
This is the nature
of history.
237
00:08:43,695 --> 00:08:45,029
It's not all good.
238
00:08:45,029 --> 00:08:46,489
I'm so mad...
239
00:08:46,489 --> 00:08:47,824
at you!
240
00:08:47,824 --> 00:08:49,534
Damn, why did
you have to bring this up?
241
00:08:49,534 --> 00:08:52,370
Okay, w-what if we change
the school's name to...
242
00:08:52,370 --> 00:08:54,789
um...blanking on people
who aren't problematic.
243
00:08:54,789 --> 00:08:56,958
"Doin' Just Fine" Elementary.
244
00:08:56,958 --> 00:09:00,128
We already have
100 school names and mascots
245
00:09:00,128 --> 00:09:01,838
already in line
for a makeover,
246
00:09:01,838 --> 00:09:04,549
and the ones that are racist
without having to Google
247
00:09:04,549 --> 00:09:05,967
are priority.
248
00:09:05,967 --> 00:09:08,470
And you're looking at
at least three to five years.
249
00:09:08,470 --> 00:09:10,930
I'm sorry, Janine.
This is too messy. We're out.
250
00:09:10,930 --> 00:09:12,307
No, wait.
My clout!
251
00:09:12,307 --> 00:09:13,725
Wait, uh, what if,
uh...what if --
252
00:09:13,725 --> 00:09:15,393
Melissa:
There's no "what if."
253
00:09:15,393 --> 00:09:17,854
A stupid designation
is not gonna change anything
254
00:09:17,854 --> 00:09:18,897
about this school.
255
00:09:18,897 --> 00:09:20,106
Barbara:
We didn't have one yesterday.
256
00:09:20,106 --> 00:09:21,524
We don't have one today.
257
00:09:21,524 --> 00:09:23,359
But look on the bright side.
258
00:09:23,359 --> 00:09:25,278
The kids got pizza!
259
00:09:25,278 --> 00:09:26,863
Let's just leave it
at that.
260
00:09:26,863 --> 00:09:30,658
Guys, if we give up now,
we're named after a racist
261
00:09:30,658 --> 00:09:32,702
and we don't have
a plaque.
262
00:09:32,702 --> 00:09:34,954
Level with me, Liz.
What can we do?
263
00:09:34,954 --> 00:09:37,707
Well, I mean, the plaque
is already made, so
you're out of luck.
264
00:09:37,707 --> 00:09:41,920
Unless you can find another
Willard R. Abbott of note
265
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,380
and say that
the school is named after him.
266
00:09:44,380 --> 00:09:45,256
Janine can do that.
I can do that.
267
00:09:45,256 --> 00:09:46,549
Oh, wow.
268
00:09:46,549 --> 00:09:49,469
Uh, so is it not clear
I was joking?
269
00:09:49,469 --> 00:09:51,679
Oh, so racism's
a laughing matter?
Mm-hmm.
270
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,350
Of course not.
Great.
271
00:09:55,350 --> 00:09:56,851
So if my minions can find
a better Abbott,
272
00:09:56,851 --> 00:09:57,894
can we have the money?
273
00:09:57,894 --> 00:09:59,229
Because I've already
mentally spent it
274
00:09:59,229 --> 00:10:00,688
on zip ties,
beans, and birth control,
275
00:10:00,688 --> 00:10:02,232
and there's no returns
in the apocalypse.
276
00:10:02,232 --> 00:10:04,609
She means, does Abbott get
the recognition it deserves?
277
00:10:04,609 --> 00:10:06,402
I I guess so.
278
00:10:08,196 --> 00:10:09,489
Chop, chop!
To the library!
279
00:10:09,489 --> 00:10:10,240
Yeah.
280
00:10:12,659 --> 00:10:14,410
Go help her!
Damn!
281
00:10:14,410 --> 00:10:15,912
What if she needs to reach
a book on the middle shelf?
282
00:10:20,625 --> 00:10:22,794
Okay, well, there are definitely
more Willard R. Abbotts
283
00:10:22,794 --> 00:10:24,129
than I expected.
284
00:10:24,129 --> 00:10:26,422
Oh, Abbott used to have
an indoor pool.
285
00:10:26,422 --> 00:10:27,966
Wait, no.
286
00:10:27,966 --> 00:10:29,425
Apparently the basement flooded
in '63
287
00:10:29,425 --> 00:10:31,553
and they just didn't
drain it until '71.
288
00:10:31,553 --> 00:10:32,595
Oh, God.
289
00:10:32,595 --> 00:10:34,097
Oh. Wow.
290
00:10:34,097 --> 00:10:35,807
Look at this picture
from the district archives.
291
00:10:35,807 --> 00:10:37,934
Hmm. I didn't know Abbott
had Black teachers back then.
292
00:10:37,934 --> 00:10:39,394
I didn't know
Philly did.
293
00:10:39,394 --> 00:10:41,563
Okay, trailblazing.
Hold on.
294
00:10:41,563 --> 00:10:44,816
Did Abbott have a real-life owl
as a mascot back in the '80s?
295
00:10:44,816 --> 00:10:46,067
Keep reading.
296
00:10:46,067 --> 00:10:48,570
"World's most rabid owl
discovered in local school."
297
00:10:48,570 --> 00:10:50,029
Yeah, that makes sense now.
Mm-hmm. Yeah.
298
00:10:50,029 --> 00:10:51,155
Oh!
Ohh.
299
00:10:51,155 --> 00:10:52,824
How does a book
smell bad?
300
00:10:52,824 --> 00:10:54,742
I cannot wait
to get my librarian program
301
00:10:54,742 --> 00:10:56,244
off the ground.
302
00:10:56,244 --> 00:10:57,871
Library program?
303
00:10:57,871 --> 00:11:00,582
Yeah.
Did I not tell you?
304
00:11:00,582 --> 00:11:03,877
Sorry.
I've been so busy.
305
00:11:03,877 --> 00:11:05,879
Okay, team,
I'm gonna go see
306
00:11:05,879 --> 00:11:07,297
if I can rustle up
anything in admin.
307
00:11:07,297 --> 00:11:08,298
Alright.
308
00:11:08,298 --> 00:11:10,258
Jacob:
Look. Research? Absolutely.
309
00:11:10,258 --> 00:11:12,802
But between us,
Janine and Gregory...
310
00:11:14,721 --> 00:11:17,974
...they're like a handsome moth
to a cutie-patootie flame.
311
00:11:17,974 --> 00:11:19,976
They've given: they will.
They've given: they won't.
312
00:11:19,976 --> 00:11:21,978
Now they're giving:
two people that kissed
313
00:11:21,978 --> 00:11:24,856
but decided to just be friends
for some Godforsaken reason.
314
00:11:24,856 --> 00:11:26,566
So, yeah.
315
00:11:26,566 --> 00:11:29,402
Figured they should
have some time alone.
316
00:11:29,402 --> 00:11:31,988
So...
317
00:11:31,988 --> 00:11:33,031
how has it been
at the district?
318
00:11:33,031 --> 00:11:35,366
Oh, it's been great,
actually.
319
00:11:35,366 --> 00:11:36,910
Been learning a lot.
320
00:11:36,910 --> 00:11:39,245
It's different, though.
Clean.
321
00:11:39,245 --> 00:11:41,831
Isn't that a good thing?
You know, you'd think,
322
00:11:41,831 --> 00:11:44,709
but I just miss
Abbott's ambience.
323
00:11:44,709 --> 00:11:46,502
Our dirt has a certain...
324
00:11:46,502 --> 00:11:47,587
"Janine" sais quoi.
325
00:11:51,049 --> 00:11:53,593
So, your, uh --
your library program...
326
00:11:53,593 --> 00:11:54,594
Mm-hmm.
327
00:11:54,594 --> 00:11:55,762
...will there
be microfiche?
328
00:11:55,762 --> 00:11:57,347
Of course not.
329
00:11:57,347 --> 00:12:00,058
Never mind.
That would be nuts, right?
330
00:12:00,058 --> 00:12:02,060
Yes, Gregory,
that would be nuts.
331
00:12:02,060 --> 00:12:04,854
Yeah, I know. I know.
But that's amazing, though.
332
00:12:04,854 --> 00:12:06,606
Thanks.
Look at you,
333
00:12:06,606 --> 00:12:08,942
programming stuff
and taking names.
334
00:12:08,942 --> 00:12:12,028
You're absurd...
and thank you.
335
00:12:12,028 --> 00:12:13,655
I'm absurd?
Yes.
336
00:12:13,655 --> 00:12:15,490
You're the one with a pin
that's a game of tic-tac-toe.
337
00:12:15,490 --> 00:12:17,450
I like this.
Yeah, I know you do.
338
00:12:17,450 --> 00:12:18,868
Guys! Guys!
I found something.
339
00:12:18,868 --> 00:12:20,495
Both: What?
340
00:12:20,495 --> 00:12:23,039
Well, I found an idea,
like, in my head.
341
00:12:23,039 --> 00:12:24,207
Willy!
342
00:12:24,207 --> 00:12:25,708
You can't just say Willy
all willy-nilly.
343
00:12:25,708 --> 00:12:28,461
What is...?
Short for Willard.
344
00:12:28,461 --> 00:12:30,004
Okay. We searched for
Willard R. Abbott
345
00:12:30,004 --> 00:12:33,591
and Bill Abbott,
but we didn't search for Willy.
346
00:12:33,591 --> 00:12:36,177
Willy is insane,
but okay.
347
00:12:38,221 --> 00:12:42,225
Oh, my God, Willy Abbott,
AKA Willard R. Abbott V.
348
00:12:42,225 --> 00:12:43,601
He's a direct descendant.
349
00:12:43,601 --> 00:12:46,729
Environmental philanthropist.
Seems promising.
350
00:12:46,729 --> 00:12:48,064
He funds environmental
research
351
00:12:48,064 --> 00:12:49,691
and he works to combat
misinformation.
352
00:12:49,691 --> 00:12:51,734
He's -- He's --
He's basically a hero!
353
00:12:51,734 --> 00:12:52,944
Okay.
Alright, keep looking.
354
00:12:52,944 --> 00:12:54,570
Let's make sure
that he's squeaky clean.
355
00:12:54,570 --> 00:12:56,656
He wrote a Medium article...
Oh, no.
356
00:12:56,656 --> 00:12:58,199
...denouncing
the racist views
357
00:12:58,199 --> 00:12:59,951
of his great-great-grandfather
and namesake,
358
00:12:59,951 --> 00:13:02,412
Willard R. Abbott!
Hot damn!
359
00:13:02,412 --> 00:13:04,664
He has a contact form
on his website.
360
00:13:04,664 --> 00:13:06,916
Let's free Willy.
Let's just e-mail him,
yeah?
361
00:13:06,916 --> 00:13:07,500
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
362
00:13:11,921 --> 00:13:13,381
So, what are we thinking
racism-wise?
363
00:13:13,381 --> 00:13:14,799
I can't tell
by his outfit.
364
00:13:14,799 --> 00:13:17,719
Good find.
He's a charmer.
365
00:13:17,719 --> 00:13:19,137
Thank you guys so much
for coming back
366
00:13:19,137 --> 00:13:20,555
and giving us
another shot.
367
00:13:20,555 --> 00:13:22,598
Well, the plaque was
very expensive, yeah.
Yep.
368
00:13:22,598 --> 00:13:24,434
But, um, seems legit.
We vetted him.
369
00:13:26,019 --> 00:13:29,439
At the district, "vet" means
checked for a pulse.
370
00:13:29,439 --> 00:13:32,150
You know,
another pass wouldn't hurt.
371
00:13:32,150 --> 00:13:34,027
Especially
with his demographic.
372
00:13:34,027 --> 00:13:36,154
Ask him if he thinks
the moon is a spaceship.
373
00:13:36,154 --> 00:13:37,363
You know what?
I'll handle this.
374
00:13:37,363 --> 00:13:41,242
Oh.
Hey, Willy,
how you doing?
375
00:13:41,242 --> 00:13:43,369
So, I wanted to ask
you a couple of questions.
376
00:13:43,369 --> 00:13:45,872
Man, you guys
sure are thorough, huh?
377
00:13:45,872 --> 00:13:48,207
Alright. Fill in the blank.
"Women are..."
378
00:13:48,207 --> 00:13:50,460
Great leaders.
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
379
00:13:50,460 --> 00:13:51,919
Thoughts on birds?
380
00:13:51,919 --> 00:13:54,672
Real.
And majestic.
381
00:13:54,672 --> 00:13:56,299
Also, go Birds!
382
00:13:56,299 --> 00:13:57,925
Lifetime
season ticket order.
Yeah.
Okay.
383
00:13:57,925 --> 00:13:58,926
Where were you
on January 6th?!
384
00:13:58,926 --> 00:14:00,094
Hey!
Have some decorum.
385
00:14:00,094 --> 00:14:02,263
Oh, my God.
Melissa: I got this.
386
00:14:02,263 --> 00:14:03,806
Well?
387
00:14:03,806 --> 00:14:05,850
In a coma actually.
388
00:14:05,850 --> 00:14:07,685
'Cause you
fell off a wall?
389
00:14:07,685 --> 00:14:10,688
Medically induced.
Tricky wisdom tooth situation.
390
00:14:10,688 --> 00:14:12,231
That is great.
391
00:14:12,231 --> 00:14:13,858
Okay, let's get you
up on stage.
Great.
392
00:14:13,858 --> 00:14:16,444
Alright.
393
00:14:16,444 --> 00:14:18,362
It is time
to introduce our guest...
394
00:14:20,740 --> 00:14:24,160
...good guy philanthropist
and the name on this plaque,
395
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,246
Willard R. Abbott V.
396
00:14:27,246 --> 00:14:29,207
Thank you.
Thank you, Principal Coleman.
397
00:14:29,207 --> 00:14:30,416
And you can
call me Willy.
398
00:14:30,416 --> 00:14:32,168
Willard's
actually better for us.
399
00:14:32,168 --> 00:14:35,671
A school as wonderful
as this
400
00:14:35,671 --> 00:14:38,674
shouldn't be named after a man
like my great-great-grandfather.
401
00:14:38,674 --> 00:14:41,094
I've spent my life
and career
402
00:14:41,094 --> 00:14:42,512
using family money
to try
403
00:14:42,512 --> 00:14:45,723
and fight environmental
prejudice and inequality,
404
00:14:45,723 --> 00:14:49,018
to right the wrongs
of Abbott's past.
405
00:14:49,018 --> 00:14:51,521
And I accept this honor...
406
00:14:51,521 --> 00:14:53,648
with that pledge in mind.
407
00:14:53,648 --> 00:14:55,942
The world is such
a beautiful place,
408
00:14:55,942 --> 00:14:57,944
and we want to
keep it that way.
409
00:14:57,944 --> 00:15:01,405
This planet is
in desperate need of saving.
410
00:15:03,616 --> 00:15:06,577
And there is no place
for racism
411
00:15:06,577 --> 00:15:10,248
from one edge of the Earth
all the way to the other.
412
00:15:10,248 --> 00:15:12,250
Now, I don't claim
to know all,
413
00:15:12,250 --> 00:15:17,380
but I do know that this
flat Earth is our home for now.
414
00:15:17,380 --> 00:15:18,589
Excuse me, what?
415
00:15:18,589 --> 00:15:20,383
Yeah. Alright.
Let's, um...
416
00:15:20,383 --> 00:15:22,468
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
Let him cook.
417
00:15:22,468 --> 00:15:26,013
The gravity of this situation
is undeniable,
418
00:15:26,013 --> 00:15:27,431
even though gravity itself
isn't real.
419
00:15:27,431 --> 00:15:30,268
Okay.
420
00:15:30,268 --> 00:15:32,228
This is
all Janine's fault.
421
00:15:32,228 --> 00:15:33,771
The Earth is flat?
422
00:15:33,771 --> 00:15:35,690
Yes.
No, no, no. No.
The Earth is a globe.
423
00:15:35,690 --> 00:15:36,691
It is round, students.
424
00:15:36,691 --> 00:15:38,442
Then explain maps.
425
00:15:38,442 --> 00:15:39,318
Okay, let's go.
426
00:15:39,318 --> 00:15:40,153
Okay.
427
00:15:40,153 --> 00:15:41,612
Janine: No, wait, wait.
No.
428
00:15:41,612 --> 00:15:43,990
I'm sorry, Janine.
We were never here.
429
00:15:43,990 --> 00:15:46,033
And the moon
is a spaceship!
430
00:15:46,033 --> 00:15:48,828
Okay.
Told you.
Real recognize real.
431
00:15:53,958 --> 00:15:56,085
You have fun?
432
00:15:56,085 --> 00:15:57,211
Janine.
433
00:15:57,211 --> 00:15:59,589
Don't gloat just yet,
please.
434
00:15:59,589 --> 00:16:01,507
I'm going to think of a way
to save this.
435
00:16:01,507 --> 00:16:03,217
Just need to sulk
for a second.
436
00:16:03,217 --> 00:16:04,594
I'm not here to gloat.
437
00:16:04,594 --> 00:16:05,761
Yeah,
we already did that
438
00:16:05,761 --> 00:16:07,471
a few minutes ago
behind your back.
439
00:16:07,471 --> 00:16:11,017
Janine, we usually understand
where it is you're coming from,
440
00:16:11,017 --> 00:16:14,437
even if we disagree, but
we're not really getting this.
441
00:16:14,437 --> 00:16:16,939
Why are you so obsessed
with a plaque?
442
00:16:16,939 --> 00:16:18,774
I just love this school
so much.
443
00:16:18,774 --> 00:16:21,444
Yes. That's your
defining characteristic.
444
00:16:21,444 --> 00:16:24,405
I can't be here
every day this year,
445
00:16:24,405 --> 00:16:26,866
and so it's just made
it more clear, you know?
446
00:16:26,866 --> 00:16:29,660
These kids, the people
in the community who went here,
447
00:16:29,660 --> 00:16:33,080
we all know that this isn't
just some school.
448
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:34,415
It's special.
449
00:16:34,415 --> 00:16:36,459
And I know
it was just a plaque,
450
00:16:36,459 --> 00:16:39,462
but...
it was validation.
451
00:16:39,462 --> 00:16:41,047
I really wanted that
for us.
452
00:16:41,047 --> 00:16:43,132
Well, tell me this.
453
00:16:43,132 --> 00:16:46,177
What makes Abbott special
for you?
454
00:16:46,177 --> 00:16:50,139
What we teach,
what we learn...
455
00:16:50,139 --> 00:16:53,142
the kids,
teachers like you two.
456
00:16:53,142 --> 00:16:55,811
Exactly.
A plaque can't convey that.
457
00:16:55,811 --> 00:16:59,357
Yeah. We don't have to prove
our worth to anybody out there.
458
00:16:59,357 --> 00:17:01,484
Plus, somebody would've
just stolen that plaque
459
00:17:01,484 --> 00:17:04,695
and melted it down
and made, like, the perfect,
460
00:17:04,695 --> 00:17:07,949
lightweight meat tenderizer
with just a -- a swing...
461
00:17:07,949 --> 00:17:09,742
like a dream.
462
00:17:11,535 --> 00:17:14,538
I-I guess I just thought it was
a chance to do something.
463
00:17:14,538 --> 00:17:18,042
What we do is we teach
these remarkable students
464
00:17:18,042 --> 00:17:21,504
the best we can
with what we have.
465
00:17:21,504 --> 00:17:23,506
And that is what
teachers have done here
466
00:17:23,506 --> 00:17:25,549
at Abbott
since it opened.
467
00:17:25,549 --> 00:17:28,594
There you go.
Now that is special enough.
468
00:17:30,221 --> 00:17:31,389
Thanks, guys.
469
00:17:31,389 --> 00:17:34,308
I would love to sit
in this moment with you,
470
00:17:34,308 --> 00:17:36,852
but I just thought of a plan
that will fix everything,
471
00:17:36,852 --> 00:17:39,605
ignoring your pleas
for me to let it rest.
472
00:17:39,605 --> 00:17:40,439
I love you. Bye.
473
00:17:43,526 --> 00:17:45,278
Now, I'll tell you what he
should have been nominated for
474
00:17:45,278 --> 00:17:46,529
was "Failure to Launch."
475
00:17:46,529 --> 00:17:47,905
I thought that was
McConaughey.
476
00:17:47,905 --> 00:17:49,740
It's both of them.
That's why --
477
00:17:51,075 --> 00:17:52,368
You know, you don't
have to run everywhere.
478
00:17:52,368 --> 00:17:54,161
I wasn't running,
but I am excited.
479
00:17:54,161 --> 00:17:55,496
Don't tell me there's
a sixth Willard.
480
00:17:55,496 --> 00:17:56,622
No. Better.
481
00:17:56,622 --> 00:17:58,624
I'll tell you more
when we get there.
482
00:17:58,624 --> 00:17:59,417
Ooh.
483
00:18:01,419 --> 00:18:03,337
I thought it was clear
we move in a pack.
484
00:18:03,337 --> 00:18:05,423
To the district archives
we go!
485
00:18:08,593 --> 00:18:09,927
Ooh!
486
00:18:12,888 --> 00:18:15,057
I don't know why I was waiting
for random people to tell us
487
00:18:15,057 --> 00:18:16,726
that Abbott is important.
488
00:18:16,726 --> 00:18:17,977
I'm Janine Teagues,
damn it.
489
00:18:17,977 --> 00:18:20,229
I don't wait for anything.
490
00:18:20,229 --> 00:18:23,232
Except when it's polite.
That's just courtesy.
491
00:18:23,232 --> 00:18:27,194
History happens every day,
even when it's overlooked,
492
00:18:27,194 --> 00:18:30,156
especially
when it's overlooked
493
00:18:30,156 --> 00:18:33,451
and I overlooked some,
right in front of us.
494
00:18:36,495 --> 00:18:37,455
Okay.
495
00:18:37,455 --> 00:18:39,874
Um, let me just...
real quick.
496
00:18:39,874 --> 00:18:42,209
Oh. Mm, yeah. Okay.
Mm-hmm.
497
00:18:42,209 --> 00:18:45,087
No news cameras,
no blonde women.
498
00:18:45,087 --> 00:18:46,922
What's with all
the pomp and circumstance?
499
00:18:48,549 --> 00:18:50,885
Over a century
and a half ago,
500
00:18:50,885 --> 00:18:53,471
there were no Black teachers
in this city.
501
00:18:53,471 --> 00:18:56,265
And in 1862,
Banneker Colored School
502
00:18:56,265 --> 00:18:58,893
hired Philadelphia's
first Black teacher
503
00:18:58,893 --> 00:19:00,478
in a public school.
504
00:19:00,478 --> 00:19:03,481
He was a pioneer
named John Quincy Allen.
505
00:19:03,481 --> 00:19:06,942
Soon after, another school,
our school,
506
00:19:06,942 --> 00:19:10,613
hired the first group
of Black teachers in the city.
507
00:19:10,613 --> 00:19:14,367
They had no idea what history
they were making at the time,
508
00:19:14,367 --> 00:19:16,077
but that was for us
to find out.
509
00:19:16,077 --> 00:19:17,620
And now we know.
510
00:19:17,620 --> 00:19:21,499
They came here every day
through unimaginable adversity
511
00:19:21,499 --> 00:19:23,250
to teach
remarkable students
512
00:19:23,250 --> 00:19:25,961
while doing the very best
with what they had.
513
00:19:25,961 --> 00:19:29,006
So we may not have a plaque,
but it's okay.
514
00:19:29,006 --> 00:19:30,675
We don't need one,
515
00:19:30,675 --> 00:19:33,010
because it's what's
on the inside that counts.
516
00:19:33,010 --> 00:19:34,970
And what's on the inside
is us,
517
00:19:34,970 --> 00:19:37,640
and there would be no us
without them.
518
00:19:43,312 --> 00:19:45,064
That was great, Janine.
Thank you.
519
00:19:45,064 --> 00:19:46,982
Yeah, that was really something,
hon.
520
00:19:46,982 --> 00:19:49,819
Yeah,
it's a cute picture,
521
00:19:49,819 --> 00:19:51,695
but it'd be cuter
with some cash on top.
522
00:19:51,695 --> 00:19:54,156
Here is 10 bucks, Ava.
Are you happy now?
523
00:19:54,156 --> 00:19:55,825
Yes.
524
00:19:55,825 --> 00:19:57,118
Is that so wrong?
525
00:20:01,372 --> 00:20:03,249
Which one do you think
was the Jacob?
526
00:20:03,249 --> 00:20:04,250
None of them.
None of them.
527
00:20:04,250 --> 00:20:05,292
Yeah.
528
00:20:05,292 --> 00:20:06,627
Both: Oh
529
00:20:06,627 --> 00:20:09,004
For the last time,
stop trying to take my job.
530
00:20:25,146 --> 00:20:28,107
