Method of Madness:
I need to watch that! I hope you didn't just spoil something :P
themacnut:
"I'm sorry! I don't know what for, but I'm SO sorry!" Sounds like the kind of apology a guy like Homer Simpson or Ray Romano would give to his wife.
And we know they're both morons. This does not say good things about Marigold. How Momo continues to put up with her, I don't know.

Yeah, it's got to be frustrating to Momo. I don't read Marigold as a moron. She comes across more as someone who's got book smarts, but isn't as emotionally intelligent/aware. With that said, she does learn, even if she leaves a lot of collateral damage in her wake sometimes.
WAYF:
I...
I have two theories. Either:
1) Marigold literally didn't know what she was saying; she was so focussed on the idea that someone might be interested in her that she was just blurting out random stuff that seemed like it would move her closer to her end goal.
2) Marigold has yet to appreciate the chassis for what means to QC's robots: A body. To her, it was something she bought in a store to make Momo happy. To Momo, it completely redefined her. Marigold was buying her skin and bones. That's not something that humans can normally put a price on; organ transplants and surgical operations ending in "-ectomy" aside, we're largely stuck with the body we were given, seemingly free, at birth.
And given that Marigold lacks a certain social awareness, it's possible that she just hasn't made that connection. Marigold thought she was saying "I bought you this lovely gift! You owe me!" when to Momo, it sounded a lot more like "I gave you your entire body, so you have to do everything I say."
That and it may not have registered properly that Momo is working at the library to pay Marigold back.

That's a... Not completely uncommon attitude of mothers... :-\
