Her quota in this case would be the amount of time she can afford to spend doing freebies, and still be able to pay her bills. (As it is, she has to take on a side job.)  That is, she does not get paid for the time she spends doing whatever it is she does for Clark.  (This is probably sarcastic, as pro bono work is usually professional work done on a voluntary basis.)   - A.
