Ava Quote #8
Gregory: Uh, why are we here, exactly?
Ava: Well, chocolate drop, I learned that someone here doesn't respect me. But it's not about me, 'cause if you don't respect me, how can you respect this school? You can't. It's mathematically impossible.
Jacob: W-Whoa. Who doesn't respect you, Ava... I-I mean, the school?
Ava: It's not important. We're gonna make this a group matter as to not single any one person out. Let's try an exercise where we say whatever we want out loud to each other, no matter how critical. It'll be fun! Let's start with Janine. Janine?
Janine: Yes?
Ava: You're pushy, squeaky, and annoying.
Melissa: Excuse me?
Gregory: That's just...
Ava: No, it's not bad. No. We're sharing with the goal of making us all better. Constructive. Hershey Kiss, why don't you try? Start with Janine.
Gregory: I really don't want to.
