SHIRTZY (offscreen): OHO! You won't see ME paying full price!
[[SHIRTZY looks smugly at their smartphone.]]
SHIRTZY: It's nearly PRIME DAY -- when everything goes on sale! Let's see what GREAT DEALS will pop up!
CAPTION: Soon:
[[The listing for the chaise is displayed on Shirtzy's phone again. Now, however, the price is listed as a Prime Day Deal, 50 percent off the 'typical price' ...of 39.95. The resulting price is, once again, 19.95.]]
[[Shirtzy glares at the phone in open contempt.]]
