Chloe holds up the wallet, her tears starting to dry. Chloe: "I can't just — go up to him with this."
Zia: "Then mail it back." Chloe: "I can't just mail it back!"
Zia: "Then I'll return it." Chloe: "It shouldn't be you!"
Zia (holds up a finger sagely): "Then it MUST stay here. Q.E.D." Chloe (shouting): "It CAN'T stay here!"
Zia (sips coffee): "Nope, sorry, Law of Noncontradiction. Invalid proof." Chloe (angry): "Zia!"
Zia (snidely): "Listen, you can do anything you want with love, horsegirl, but math and logic are mine." Chloe (fuming angry).

Characters: Chloe, Zia

Look, at least she's angry instead of crying, this is progress.
