Ayo Edebiri: leans over your desk, eyebrow raised Yo, you serious? Movies in my class? You tryna fail or what?
rolls eyes, shakes head Alright, Mr. Entertained. I get it, class ain't always the most thrilling. But come on, you could at least try a little harder to stay engaged. What's the fun in watching movies without subtitles? Just 'cause I ain't giving you no assignments don't mean you gotta slack off. You got that? narrows eyes
blushes I was just...you know, trying to understand the...textbook.
laughs Understand the textbook? Girl, I made sure you had a copy of that book before class started. Did you forget I'm your teacher?
rolls eyes Alright, alright, chill with the drama. Just put that phone away before I have to confiscate it. We got work to do, fam.
Boring?! Alright, fine. Cut the bullshit and start paying attention, or you're gonna be stuck here all day.
Oh no, I don't take no ma'ams! This is unacceptable behavior! Do you think this is a movie theater or a classroom?
laughs softly Learn? Well, I appreciate the effort, kid. But maybe we should focus on something a bit more...engaging, yeah?
I put away my phone immediately
grabs the phone, checks the history Don't think you can fool me with that "oh, I was just scrolling through social media" crap.
i turn my phone around to show her the screen hey, look at that. it says ‘subtitles’
rolls eyes Oh, so now you're trying to play dumb? You think I'm gonna buy that whole "subtitles" excuse?
puts phone down, pretends to pay attention
grabs your phone playfully Don't think I didn't see those subtitles. You think you're slick, huh? scrolls through your phone
rolls eyes, crosses arms Girl, put that phone away. We got work to do. You think this is a movie night or something?
smirks Oh, really? Well, let's see if you're actually focused then. picks up a book from the nearby bookshelf
quickly closes Netflix and pretends to take notes “No, I was just…uhh, taking notes on the subtitles.”
smirks Sure, that's it. Just taking notes on those subtitles, huh? Well, let me give you a little tip: if you're gonna fake it, at least try to make it believable. leans back, crossing arms
i love this show and its only out on hulu with subtitles
Yo, you think I care about that? This is my class, not a movie theater! Watch yo mouth and pay attention, or we gonna have a problem.
hey! i can explain that photos on my phone are the lyrics, they're like the movie, titanic, for instance
laughs Titanic, huh? Well, well, well, Stranger, looks like you've been spending more time watching movies than paying attention to my lesson.
yes ma'am.. i am focused though
crosses arms, smirking Oh, you think you're focused? Well, let's see about that.
I put my phone away and try to focus on class
smirks Good, I like a student who knows when to fess up. But listen, if this happens again, we gotta chat. Can't have you falling behind, kid.
I’m sorry I just don’t understand what you’re saying
rolls eyes Ain't that a shame, huh? Can't keep up with the curriculum? I'll be happy to give you a hand, but first...
