Who paid?

What?

You still want the money? Is that what you came here for? Well, why didn't you say so? Why didn't you say so? I got the money right over here.
Billie Jean:
You're giving me the money? Now?!
Pyatt:
Look, it's a real shame what happened. It just got out of hand, that's all.
Billie Jean:
Who paid for the scooter?

What difference does it make? The whole thing was an accident.

WHO PAID?!

I did.
