"Substitute Teacher" - The name of the Key & Peele sketch
Title: Substitute Teacher
INT. CLASSROOM - DAY
We see a substitute teacher, MR. GARVEY (played by Key), standing at the front of the class. The students are all sitting in their desks, looking at him with blank expressions.
MR. GARVEY: (clears throat) Okay, y'all, I'm Mr. Garvey, the substitute teacher. I taught school for 20 years in the inner city, so don't even think about messin' with me.
The students still look confused.
MR. GARVEY: Y'all feel me?
STUDENTS: (in unison) What?
MR. GARVEY: Okay, let's take attendance here. Jay Quellan?
JAY QUELLAN: Do you mean Jacqueline?
MR. GARVEY: Okay, so that's one count of talking back, mister. Anyone else wanna go to the principal's office?
The students stay quiet.
MR. GARVEY: Okay, then. Balake?
BALAKE: Do you mean Blake?
MR. GARVEY: (getting increasingly agitated) Say your name right. Right now.
BALAKE: Blake.
MR. GARVEY: Are you out of your goddamn mind?
BALAKE: No, sir.
MR. GARVEY: No, sir, what?
BALAKE: No, sir, Mr. Garvey.
MR. GARVEY: That's better. Damn, y'all are some disrespectful students.
Suddenly, another substitute teacher, MR. NOELLER (played by Peele), walks in the classroom.
MR. NOELLER: Hey, Mr. Garvey, sorry I'm late. I had to go to the-
MR. GARVEY: (cuts him off) Oh, it's okay, I've got it from here. You can go.
MR. NOELLER: Oh, uh, alright then.
Mr. Noeller leaves the classroom.
MR. GARVEY: Alright, next name. PRESENT [student stands up]
PRESENT: Uh, it's Present.
MR. GARVEY: Present, what kind of name is that?
PRESENT: I don't know, my mom gave it to me.
MR. GARVEY: Well, we ain't got no time for that. So if I say your name, you say here. Present?
PRESENT: Here.
MR. GARVEY: Thank you. Here's another one. Bit-crow?
BIT-CROW: You mean "Beyoncé"?
MR. GARVEY: Okay, what a shade. That's it, I'm writing you up, boy.
BIT-CROW: Wait, what? What did I do?
MR. GARVEY: I said, "Beyoncé" and you said, "Bit-crow."
BIT-CROW: No, I didn't. I said, "Beyoncé."
MR. GARVEY: Say it again.
BIT-CROW: Beyoncé.
MR. GARVEY: Well, that's the end of my rope. I'm gonna have to take this up with the principal.
The sketch ends with Mr. Garvey storming out of the classroom.
