'Now I'm your watch' thoughts


When Ray tells Marabelle "Now I'm your watch" when he removes her watch at the restaurant, what do you believe this line implies?

I thought maybe that (sub)consiously Ray is telling Marabelle that she can turn to him for advice, and that he wants to be more like a fatherly figure towards her, as in how one turns to a watch before they do anything to make sure that that they are "on time".

I found the line kind of off-putting. Lots of people offered plausible explanations, but it doesn't make it any less weird. I thought to myself during that scene that if I was on a date and some guy did that, I'd be weirded out.

Tomorrow's just your future yesterday!
