Ava Quote #9
Janine: Okay. Everyone, [sighs] that's enough. I am the person who disrespected Ava. I e-mailed the superintendent to tell him that she spent the school's money on a sign. I'm sorry, Ava. And I'm sorry everyone missed lunch, especially you, Sheena. But I did it because I care about the kids in this school, and that shouldn't be a bad thing. I... [sighs] Okay. You know what? Actually, Sheena, you should have this. [offers Sheena the cafeteria pizza] I'm so sorry.
Girl: No, thank you.
Janine: Okay. [exits]
Ava: Not a compelling speaker. [laughs] Charisma vacuum, am I right?
Barbara: You know what, Ava? Janine is a lot of things... naive, a bit clingy, too cheerful.
Ava: Oh, this is good stuff. Let me call her back in.
Barbara: But she is also right. You know, actually wanting to help the children at this school shouldn't be a bad thing. [clicks tongue] Mm!
Ava: And where is everybody going?
Jacob: To check on Janine.
Melissa: To eat lunch... after I check on Janine.
