He claims he can fix it faster than that. She’d like to see that.

As he works on the engine, he asks why she works for Sonny. She says it’s for the astronomical money. But representing Spinelli for him made her feel appreciated and confused.

Representing Sonny has been interesting and she’s like a lot of the work she’s done “navigating” the legal system. Jason was a great help with that. But she knows where the line is and won’t cross it.
