Big Boy + Breathless relationship?


Ok, maybe I'm naieve, but what exactly is Big Boy's motive when he says he "owns" Breathless? I mean, owned like a slave? Very odd.

Just like he took possession of the Club Ritz, he claimed Lips' girlfriend. In that situation, including as the lead act of the club, she wasn't going to be in a position to refuse.

She took his opening treatment of her to be a positive, but it quickly became careless as really everyone and thing was a toy for him to own. He was, after all, simply a big boy (kid.)
