Hm.

516
00:20:26,308 --> 00:20:28,078
Hm. No.

517
00:20:28,102 --> 00:20:29,788
Just helping out a little.

518
00:20:29,812 --> 00:20:32,040
Don't read too much into it.
It was mostly for me.

519
00:20:32,064 --> 00:20:34,835
Just making sure I am never
put in that position again.

520
00:20:34,859 --> 00:20:37,212
Substitute teaching.
Yet another doomsday scenario.

521
00:20:37,236 --> 00:20:39,071
Young Ava is prepped for!

522
00:20:41,323 --> 00:20:43,200
[ Whirring ]

523
00:20:48,038 --> 00:20:49,558
What do you need?

524
00:20:49,582 --> 00:20:52,042
We need to talk about
one of your products.

525
00:20:54,462 --> 00:20:56,690
Ugh! Uh...

526
00:20:56,714 --> 00:20:59,401
W-W-What product
are you referring to?

527
00:20:59,425 --> 00:21:00,986
Ava!

528
00:21:01,010 --> 00:21:04,072
Can you at least just reimburse
me for my topical gel?

529
00:21:04,096 --> 00:21:05,824
I think you'll find that
the corporation responsible

530
00:21:05,848 --> 00:21:07,826
for your...
unfortunate situation

531
00:21:07,850 --> 00:21:10,078
has since been dissolved.

532
00:21:10,102 --> 00:21:11,496
You're lucky I don't report
your little thievery.

533
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:12,897
Now get out!

534
00:21:20,988 --> 00:21:23,657
