"Excuse me?" The levels of incredulity are off the charts and Albert's had quite enough of this little pissant. "I bought them, you thief."

Seriously. It's the principle.

Disregarding personal space, Albert reaches with his free hand right past the new annoyance in his life to snag the bag back, despite how it may look. he's suffered enough indignities here in Panem and apparently the theft of one of the very few small pleasures he has in the Capitol is enough of a tipping point for Albert to skew his priorities just slightly.
