And then I’ve been busy, I’m doing things, and then someone mentioned AvatarAnd I was like, ‘Oh, I guess it came out and it didn’t work very well,’ because I didn’t hear anything.”

He continued: “So I thought, ‘It happens.’ And then someone recently said, ‘Oh, Avatar’It’s coming out!’” Falco said she replied: “Oh! Hasn’t it come out yet?
