Melrose Place

Ella:
[after Amanda sees Ella with Ben, trying on the necklace] I promise you that you can trust me.

Amanda:
Ella, in what universe would you think for one moment that I was threatened by you?

Ella:
I wasn't implying...

Amanda:
You were, and it's presumptuous. I mean, you're a a junior publicist with a barely there career. A nobody in this town.

Ella:
I know. I... I'm sorry.

Amanda:
You may fancy yourself my protégé, but let's be honest, you don't measure up. I mean, you have enough flash to catch the eye of Ben or any other man for that matter. But they don't stay long, do they?

Ella:
I... I wasn't trying to...

Amanda:
Oh, come on. No one wears a dress that short without an endgame.
