Reed: Carmine¹, relax. It's me. Hey.

Morley: Reed.

Reed: What are you doing here? Are you okay? Is it--?

Morley: I'm sorry. I love you. But I'm just not ready for this kind of commitment. And I didn't know that this morning.

Reed: No, it's okay. I shouldn't have rushed it. We can wait.

Morley: You didn't do anything wrong. I shouldn't have been surprised when you asked. I should be thinking about our future together. But I'm still focused on my future.

Reed: Look, you can still have your career, baby. We're getting married. We're not becoming monks² or something.

Morley: And then there's the whole thing with my parents' horrible...

Reed: Your parents? Wait. Hold on. Wait a second. Just because your parents had a bad divorce does not mean that you're going to have a bad divorce. They're not hereditary³. It's not like it's contagious⁴, all right?

Morley: You're not getting it. You know, the first phone call I made after you proposed was to my office. To confirm my 10:00 meeting. It's really beautiful. For someone else.
