When Ryan and Ellen first met
Ryan asked Ellen if she remembered their first meeting. Ellen seemed to remember it in a lot more detail than Ryan did, though how he managed to make a good impression on her from the description she gives is a bit of a mystery!
They first met in an office where Ryan had a meeting with his boss and Ryan was wearing a Prada suit, Prada loafers and a bright orange Prada shirt. Ellen had a coffee and was about to eat a cookie, but after the boss asked did Ryan want a cookie, Ryan said “noone eats those cookies in front of me … I can’t eat that cookie!” so none of the people in the office at the time had a cookie either.
Ryan said that if he were Ellen, he’d have said ‘no’ when he asked her to work with him, adding: “if I said that, forgive me. I sound like an absolute jerk!” Ellen reassured him that he was being funny, but really I’m impressed she’s so cool with it. I don’t know that I’d be so forgiving of a man who came between me and a cookie ;)
