What's really going on
The warning scene is built on a reversal: the man who is dangerous tells the woman she is in danger, and she answers with the plainest description of him in the film. "There are things about you I like," Marla says, before listing what she cannot stand, ending with "you're intolerable" and "you're the worst thing that ever happened to me." Tyler's protection is real in his own terms — he does put her on a bus — but the scene keeps showing that the person who needs saving is not only Marla. In the second half, his confession to the police is equally self-contradicting: he offers himself up as the leader of a terrorist organization, describes the body in the garden and the nitroglycerin, and explains the plan to erase the debt record. What he cannot account for is that the Project Mayhem members have rehearsed him: he says the lines they expected, and the officers turn out to be theirs. The confession becomes another trap.

このシーンについての質問
Why does Tyler want Marla to leave town?
Because he believes she is a target now that Project Mayhem has grown. Getting her out of the city is his way of keeping her safe, even as he keeps the organization running.
Why does Marla refuse to go?
She has had enough of him. She admits there are things she likes about him, but calls him intolerable and says he needs professional help, then walks out with the worst line she can land.
Why does Tyler call the police and confess?
He wants the whole thing stopped and turns himself in as the leader, naming the headquarters, the body, and the plan. It is an attempt to end Project Mayhem from the top.
Why do the police turn on him?
Because they are members of Project Mayhem. They already know what he will say, repeating that he said he would say it, which turns the confession into a scripted trap.
What does 'asshole tax' mean in this scene?
It is Marla's joke about the money: she will not pay it back and treats it as a fee for having dealt with him. It ends the exchange on her terms rather than his.
