- Chloe and Zia, walking down the streets of Pasadena. Camera is high overhead. Chloe: "So why exactly are you dragging me to the lab this time?" Zia: "I gotta get you out of the apartment somehow." "Unless you finally want to go on a date."
- Camera is closer. Chloe: "Not interested." Zia: "Chlo, you ever hear the song, 'There is life outside your apartment'?"
- Chloe (irritated): "That's exactly the problem! There's life outside my apartment!"
- Zia (facepalm): "Ugh. Maybe I should've just left you there after all." Chloe (exasperated): "That's what I'm saying!"
Characters: Chloe, Zia
