Jonah:
[after Taryn Manning pointed a gun at him when he stopped by her bus] Now when you say the original director walked out the set, did you actually mean it was more of a run followed by a duck-and-cover?

Ella:
So Taryn's a little paranoid.

Jonah:
A little? She's packing heat, El!

Ella:
Oh, please! She had a bad run-in with a stalker, and now she's got trust issues. The gun's her security blanket. I doubt it's even loaded.

Jonah:
Yeah, well, guess who's not sticking around to find out.

Ella:
Jonah, come on! With your people skills, she's like putty in your hands.

Jonah:
Yeah, maybe the kind they make C-4 explosives with, sure. Gosh, El, seriously! What did you get me into here? I'm a director, not a hostage negotiator.

Ella:
Look, if I didn't think you could do it, I wouldn't be risking my entire career for you.

Jonah:
What? What's wrong with your career?

Ella:

Ella:
You don't have to convince me I'm good. I'm great. It's just that my new boss is dead set on turning my office into his very own private cigar lounge.

Jonah:
I never realized there was a guy on this planet that actually intimidated you.

Ella:
Well, maybe I didn't want to lose your respect. Look... the bottom line is that I hired you because I believe in you.

Jonah:
I never thought I would actually say this, but... let me see what I can do about getting the .45 away from the crazy chick in the bus.
