A man confronts Queenie, admitting "I really underestimated you" and that she kept him guessing. He confesses, "I've never wanted anyone but you," but Queenie rejects him repeatedly—even slapping him. He says he won't force her but warns not to play hard to get, then orders her to stop working part-time at the bar: "If I can't have the girl I've slept with, no one else can." He offers another job and insists she can come to him. Queenie asks, "Do you think that's helping me?" leaving his controlling offer unresolved.
