In the dialogue, Mrs Duncan says, "when (my husband has) got the urge to burn something, he just helps himself (to my perfume)! This means when he has the impulse to start a fire, he uses Mrs Duncan's Moulin Magic without her permission. Note: the term 'urge" is also used as a verb meaning to insist or encourage. Example: My son URGED me to stop drinking and driving.
