Chapter 5 page 9

Emmie argues emotionally, arms flailing, while Morio replies calmly. Emmie grows increasingly distressed, to the point of tears.
Emmie: Why am I not paying you to live here??
Morio: But you are paying me. See, the rent line item is here.
Emmie: But but but then you are paying me! Right here!!
Morio: Yes. You help me to take care of the house.
Emmie: BUT THAT’S NOT RIGHT!!
Morio: You are paying me rent to live here. I am paying you a wage to take care of the house. That seems right to me.
Emmie: NO!! IT’S MESSING UP MY BUDGET!!!
