Oh, I sign anything that's put in front of me.

That's how I ended up cosigning my ex's car loan.

-(chuckles) -Thanks for your support.

It's been going great.

Well, it could be going better. Step was my thing in college!

We won the step show six years in a row.

We should teach that step class together.

If you can commit, then I'd be more than happy

to have another pair of feet around. (chuckles)

Well, don't say it like that, but I'll be there.

↓

And I would ask what I would bring,

↓

Okay, listen, this has got bad news written all over it.

She only looks after herself.

I've seen her push students out of the way during a fire drill.

-True. -I'm gonna choose

Okay. It's your glass.

Just make sure Ava doesn't spit in it.

JANINE: I get that Ava hasn't historically been

janine

↓

the most reliable,

↓

but she seems really excited about this,

excited seems

↓

and I think we're gonna make a great team.

team

↓

Step's all about the fundamentals.

step steps

↓

She's the "fun," and I'm the "mentals."

↓

That didn't sound right.

↓

Oh, my God. Is that pizza from Dough Nuts?

nuts pizza

↓

Best in the city. They bake it in an oven

best city oven

↓

blessed by Pope John Paul II.

↓

John Paul II wasn't the most progressive.

john

↓

Blesses a good oven, though.

↓

I'm just saying, wouldn't have blessed a gay oven.

↓

Well, I think it's a fine pizza, but it is nothing compared to

pizza

↓

the burrata pizza at Pauly's. Mwah!

pizza

↓

Best pizza in Philly is from Federico's.

best philly pizza

↓

They put this mushroom extract in the sauce

↓

that just kind of relaxes you to high heaven.

↓

Yeah, you're both wrong.

↓

What makes Philly-style pizza?

↓

Uh, five things.

↓

You got your crust, sauce, cheese,

↓

maybe some toppings, and the last thing --

Okay, I got an idea --

You never told us your favorite pizza place.

↓

You never heard of Baltimore style?

Another fun day of step! (laughs)

Does anyone want to help lead the warm-ups?

We like to play this fun game called "call and no response."

↓

The kids are so good at it. (chuckles)

chuckles kids

↓

I got the tacos! Now, who got the tea?

↓

I heard Miss Cooper is dating Mr. Peace and Coach Wilson.

coach dating heard miss peace

↓

Ooh! Now, that's scandalous.

↓

Um, we actually usually begin class by doing some stretches

begin class usually

↓

to make sure our bodies are properly warmed up.

↓

Can't warm up on an empty stomach.

empty stomach warm

↓

You can't just pump them full of burritos,

full pump

↓

'cause they'll all throw up.

↓

Stepping is half stepping and half farting around.

half stepping

↓

They got to bond.

↓

The way we bond is via structure and discipline.

structure

↓

Nah, it's about who would have your back at 3:00 a.m.

↓

at the after-after-party.

party

↓

Yeah, people having your back by learning the steps

having learning steps

↓

is a sign that they'll have your back out there.

↓

Janine! Are you saying you'd square up on a stranger for me?

janine

↓

Go ahead and get stuff started.

I'll be back after I finish my exciting blue slushy.

You're like, "There's no way a parakeet and crocodile

crocodile

↓

can make it work and..."

↓

Actually, in the one I just watched, they didn't.

↓

Uh, it was mislabeled. Very tragic.

↓

This Pauly's Pizza is delish, isn't it?

pizza

↓

It's decent, but it's not as good as Dough Nuts. Sorry.

nuts

↓

Is anybody else not enjoying the mouth-feel of Federico's?

↓

-Mnh-mnh. -Greg?

↓

Oh, I mean, it's all gonna be trash to me.

I'm a Baltimore pizza guy, like I said.

Okay, just because you don't like this one popular thing

↓

-You did do that, huh? -Yes, I --

You were like, "I'm Janine. I like responsibility

but Ava is a great leader.

(chuckles) Who'd have thought?

↓

I know, right?

↓

I mean, she did try to get the kids into Akon's cryptocurrency,

but she's been there every day, so...

↓

Yeah, there's gotta be some kind of catch.

catch

↓

I mean, maybe it's just time for you guys to admit

↓

that you misjudged Ava.

↓

Janine, do not get your hopes up,

janine

↓

because Ava will find a way to bring them down.

bring

↓

I don't think that's fair. She's been doing the work.

↓

Maybe Ava has never risen to expectations

↓

because nobody believed in her.

believed nobody

↓

-Nah. -That's not it.

↓

-Yeah, that was a bit much. -Mnh-mnh.

But I'm telling you, I believe in her.
