This is an important scene because it says a lot about Faye's weird sense of ambition. She doesn't have dreams. She doesn't have passions. She doesn't even have talent, if we're being real. What she is good at, however, is thinking of plans for the future, even if those plans have no shot at ever becoming reality.

Faye tends to work backwards, starting with her desired outcome and then kind of sort of figuring out how to get there. As it happens, this isn't always the best way to get things done. If nothing else, however, this conversation should show Tod once and for all that he's barking up the wrong tree.
