This is why you get to have the fixer-upper instead of the cot. ( Obviously she becomes friends with Renee in the future for good reasons. ) I got all the windows on the ground floor boarded up, but that's about the extent of it so far.

( Windows are boarded and so far all the essential places that required stair access have ramps for Barbara, but definitely, definitely needs more work.

And an appreciative nod. ) I tried to fix up my own place here and there, but usually it was easier to just call someone in. ( Eccentric millionaire she may be, but while she is prepared to play with electricity, water mains were another matter. ) Between you, me and Jaime we might have it sorted. Barbara and Dinah can try to boss us around.

( Keyword: try. )

I appreciate it. You sure know how to treat a girl right. [Mostly because Renee takes her to all the best stakeouts] It's a good start. I'm impressed you've already done this much by yourself.

[Renee's learned to be more paranoid in her old age, but more just the prospect of having something to do with her hands that doesn't involve punching is a nice relief. Place to channel her energy. She may catch a glimpse of those ramps and store that info for later]

You know, there's a social commentary in a rich white woman having to call in a Latina to fix her plumbing. [ She pauses, then makes a face] Or a terrible porno.

[She quirks her head] Jaime? I've talked with him a couple times, seems like a good kid. He know his way around tools?

Barbara can set up the wifi and Dinah can make herself useful getting hotdogs.
