TOMMY: Milo, you're going to have trouble with that one.
MILO: No, I'm not. He's just not housebroken yet, that's all.
TOMMY: When are you going to stop getting yourself involved with young itinerant artists? It never works. If they're no good, you're ashamed. And if they are, they get too independent.
MILO: Now just dance, Tommy, please.
TOMMY: Alright, but I'm warning you: he'll be out in four months, just like the composer and the sculptor.
He's not housebroken? By talking about Jerry like he's a dog, Milo's intentions are made pretty darn clear here. She doesn't just want to use her power and influence to help his career; she wants to make him her pet. Woof.

MILO: I can tell you, I didn't like your exhibition tonight. I thought you were very rude.
JERRY: Rude? I didn't mean to be. I'm sorry—
MILO: If you insist on picking up stray women, that's your own affair, but from now on, don't do it when you're with me. Is that clear?
Holy power shift, Batman. When Jerry flirts with Lise in front of Milo, the power dynamic between him and Milo changes. Suddenly, Jerry's got Milo's heart in his hands, and Milo's true intentions bubble up to the surface.

MILO: Why do you always make such an issue of money?
JERRY: Because I ain't got any. And when you ain't got any, it takes on a curious significance.
This is Milo and Jerry's relationship in a nutshell. When it comes to money, she holds all the cards simply because she has buckets of cash, while Jerry can't afford a sandwich.
