Melrose Place

Ella:
Look, Jonah, I should not have asked you to drag Riley into a dog and pony show. Okay, this whole thing was a mistake.

Jonah:
No, we both had to vent. We just chose the worst possible venue ever.

Ella:
No, I'm talking about us. We... are a mistake. You and Riley are cut from the same snuggly, fuzzy cloth, and I'm... well, let's face it, I'm industrial-strength sandpaper.

Jonah:
Ella...

Ella:
No, you guys have five years of fairy tale. And what do I have, five years of one-night engagements?

Jonah:
Yeah...

Ella:
I can kick open doors for your career all day long, but when it comes to actually opening myself up and letting somebody in, it's... it's an entirely different story. And yes, I am selfish... but it's just because I don't want to get hurt.

Jonah:
Ella...

Ella:
No, Jonah, I'm serious. Why do you think that I spend every last ounce of energy that I have on my career? Or why I'd rather be at a business meeting than a candlelit dinner? I'm not as tough as you think, okay? I can't handle having my heart broken.
