Marianna: I was handling Randy.
Ric: Oh, yeah, I saw that, I just didn't want you to have to.
Marianna: I don't need you to protect me; I don't need you to fight my battles.
Ric: Really? After your last run-in with him, you needed medical attention. Remember that -- I took you for it?
Marianna: And I am so grateful. I am so grateful for everything.
Ric: I -- I don't want that, okay? I'm happy to do it.
Marianna: Well, Mr. Corbin just hired me.
Ric: "Mr. Corbin just hired you"? I was just out -- I just went to get my wallet. You -- boy.
Marianna: Yeah, I work that fast.
Ric: I guess.
Marianna: So I got a new job, and I'm going to start paying you back.
Ric: Okay, I -- I don't want your money.
Marianna: Everybody wants something, everyone does things for a reason.
Ric: You're not comparing me to the guy who treated you like an indentured servant, a guy who abused you?
Marianna: It's just a different kind of control.
Ric: I'm not trying to control you.
Marianna: I'm -- you don't have to try. You know, it's just effortless for you, babe.
Ric: Oh.
Marianna: Seriously, it's -- I mean, you take it for granted. It's just there, unspoken, you know, when someone else has the control. You may not have to work, but I do.
Mike: Oh, hey, I'll -- I'll get that. You know, I -- uh -- I might've warned you about Ric, but I can see you can handle yourself just fine.
Marianna: Warned me why? I -- I met him at Martha’s Vineyard. He was there putting some things behind him, and -- um --
Mike: Well, look, you know, that's -- that's really a good thing for anyone -- if you can really do it.
