Jackson and Ally's Drunken Fight, Explained：put someone down
What starts as good news — three Grammy nominations — turns into a fight about who loves whom and who needs the world's approval. "Why can't I just be enough for you?" one of them asks, while the other says she just wants her husband to love her. It ends with someone being told to get out.

What's really going on
The Grammy nomination is the wedge. One of them is rising, the other is drinking, and the fight keeps sliding from the actual news to the older wound underneath. "Why can't I just be enough for you?" is the question the whole marriage has been circling: success, applause and the approval of strangers have crowded out the person at home. The answer comes back just as raw, "You know what I'd like is for my boyfriend to love me" — and then, correcting herself, "for my husband to love me." Neither is really arguing about the tribute or the drinking now; they are arguing about whether they still matter to each other. The insults at the end are less a verdict than a way to end a conversation neither can win.
Theme
MarriageThe couple fight about approval and love in a marriage already fraying under fame and drinking.

Why can't I just be enough for you?One of them asks why their love at home isn't enough for the other, who keeps chasing the approval of crowds, strangers and everyone but the person beside them.
You're my boyfriend if you don't treat me like your wife.She draws a line: she will be his partner only if he stops treating her like a wife he can manage, correct and criticize.
And you know what you're doing is you're so embarrassed of your fucking self that you gotta put me down.The accusation that the other's cruelty is really shame turned outward: they tear their partner down so they can feel better about themselves.
You know what I'd like is for my boyfriend to love me.The simplest wish underneath the whole fight: not respect, not success, just to be loved by the person she married.
このシーンについての質問
Why are Jackson and Ally fighting right after the Grammy news?
The good news only sharpens the gap between them. Ally's career is taking off while Jackson is drinking, and the nomination becomes a way to talk about jealousy, approval and who is failing whom.
Who is the 'boyfriend' Ally says she wants to love her?
Jackson — her husband. She phrases it as 'my boyfriend' and then corrects herself to 'my husband,' which is the point: she wants a partner, not a role that comes with conditions.
What does 'put me down' mean here?
It means to insult or belittle someone. The accusation is that one of them feels so bad about themselves that they have to lower the other person in order to feel better.
What does the Roy Orbison tribute have to do with the fight?
Almost nothing — it's just the news that starts the conversation. Bobby has called about a tribute, but that plan is only the small talk, and the talk quickly turns into the couple's real grievance.
