this is actually one of the most devastating surrogate father/daughter situations on television because ruth is unerringly devoted to marty and admiring of what he has been able to do for her to the point that she literally killed members of her own family for him. meanwhile marty lowkey doesn't even give a fuck because due to their material realities anything she could provide him in their business partnership will never have the same impact of what he is able to provide her at little personal cost. and the cycle never ends because he keeps repaying her with pittances every so often without even thinking of what that means to her meanwhile ruth's life was so shitty that these crumbs of attention and mentorship are basically like having a father
