Isabel Kelly Monologues
You know, I never wanted to be a mom. Sharing it with you... that's one thing. It's another to be looking over my shoulder for the next twenty years, knowing someone else would have done it better... someone else would have done it right.
You're Mother Earth, incarnate.
You ride with Anna.
You know every story, every wound, every memory. Their whole life's happiness is wrapped up in you... every single second. Don't you get it? Look down the road to her wedding.

All right, you may think this is funny but this is so not…
funny. I'm not kidding around anymore, Ben. You make yourself appear right this instant. Ben? Ben? The clock is ticking, Ben. Come on now. Ben?
If you meet me back here in 1 hour, I will prove to you why you hired me... even though I wouldn't sleep with you
