Read the excerpt below from an original drama.
[Late night. A diner booth. Rain streaks the window. ALI (24) slides a key across the table to JESS (26).]
ALI: Take it.
JESS: I didn't ask.
ALI: You don't have to ask. You just have to stop sleeping in your car.
JESS: It's not your job to rescue me.
ALI: It's not a rescue. It's a couch.
JESS: With rules.
ALI: With a door that locks.
JESS: With you listening.
ALI: I listen because I care.
JESS: You listen because you're collecting evidence.
ALI: Evidence of what.
JESS: That I'm broken enough to deserve your kindness.
ALI: That's not fair.
JESS: Fair is a word people use when they want to stop talking about power.
ALI: (reaches for the key) Fine. I'll take it back.
JESS: Don't.
ALI: Then what do you want.
JESS: I want help that doesn't turn into ownership.
In the excerpt, what is the primary function of the conflict over help versus "ownership"?
