Substitute Trouble
Part 2

Panel 1:
Toby and Ronny sit at a bar counter with a beer each. Ronny looks serious while Toby drinks.
Ronny: “Toby, you've been a substitute teacher before! It was a disaster and you swore you'd never do it again!”
Toby: “I know...” Panel 2:
Toby: “With no formal training or education, I have to rely on the work experience I do have! Besides, small schools are desperate for subs, so why not? Easy money!” Panel 3:
Toby: “I’m also more mature than the last time I tried! How hard can it be to teach a bunch of brats basic math and stuff, right?”
Ronny: “Hm.”
Ronny: “Good point!”
Ronny: “Easy money, right...” Panel 4:
Ronny stands smiling in a school hallway, shaking hands with a red-haired woman wearing glasses and a patterned dress. 
Woman: “Hi, Toby! Glad you called before coming in! You’ve met the principal, but he’s unavailable today...”
Ronny: “That’s great! I mean, no problem!”
Woman: “I’m his assistant Fiona! Any questions?”
Ronny: “Yeah! When do I get paid?”
