[악마는 프라다를 입는다] The Devil Wears Prada
Scene 1
Nate Good luck.
Scene 2
Andy Hi. Uh, I have an appointment with Emily Charlton?
Emily Andrea Sachs?
Andy Yes.
Emily Great. Human Resources certainly has an odd sense of humor. Follow me. Okay, so I was Miranda's second assistant... but her first assistant recently got promoted, and so now I'm the first.
Andy Oh, and you're replacing yourself.
Emily Well, I am trying. Miranda sacked the last two girls after only a few weeks. We need to find someone who can survive here. Do you understand?
Andy Yeah. Of course. Who's Miranda?
Emily Oh, my God. I will pretend you did not just ask me that. She's the editor in chief of Runway, not to mention a legend. You work a year for her, and you can get a job at any magazine you want. A million girls would kill for this job.
Andy It sounds like a great opportunity. I'd love to be considered.
Emily Andrea, Runway is a fashion magazine... so an interest in fashion is crucial.
Andy What makes you think I'm not interested in fashion?
Emily Oh, my God. No! No! No!
Andy What's wrong?
Emily She's on her way. Tell everyone!
Nigel She's not supposed to be here until 9:00.
Emily Her driver just text messaged, and her facialist ruptured a disk. God, these people!
Nigel [Whistles, Whispers] Who's that?
Emily That I can't even talk about.
Nigel All right, everyone! Gird your loins! Did somebody eat an onion bagel?
A Girl Sorry, Miranda.
Emily Move it! Ooh!
Miranda I don't understand why it's so difficult to confirm an appointment.
Emily I know. I'm so sorry, Miranda. I actually did confirm last night.
Miranda Details of your incompetence do not interest me. Tell Simone I'm not going to approve that girl that she sent me for the Brazilian layout. I asked for clean, athletic, smiling. She sent me dirty, tired and paunchy. And R.S.V.P. Yes to the Michael Kors party. I want the driver to drop me off at 9:30 and pick me up at 9:45 sharp.
Emily [Whispers] 9:45 sharp.
Miranda Call Natalie at Glorious Foods, tell her no for the 40th time. No, I don't want dacquoise. I want tortes filled with warm rhubarb compote. Then call my ex-husband and remind him the parent-teacher conference is at Dalton tonight. And then call my husband, ask him to please meet me for dinner at that place I went to with Massimo. Also tell Richard I saw all the pictures that he sent for that feature on the female paratroopers... and they're all so deeply unattractive. Is it impossible to find a lovely, slender female paratrooper?
Emily No.
Miranda Am I reaching for the stars here? Not really. Also, I need to see all the things that Nigel has pulled for Gwyneth's second cover try. I wonder if she's lost any of that weight yet. Who's that?
Emily Nobody. Um, uh, well, Human Resources sent her up about the new assistant job, and I was preinterviewing her for you. But she's hopeless and totally wrong for it.
Miranda Clearly I'm going to have to do that myself because the last two you sent me... were completely inadequate. So send her in. That's all.
Emily Right. She wants to see you.
Andy Oh! She does?
Emily Move! This is foul. Don't let her see it. Go!
Andy That's…
Miranda Who are you?
Andy Uh, my name is Andy Sachs. I recently graduated from Northwestern University.
Miranda And what are you doing here?
Andy Well, I think I could do a good job as your assistant. And, um- Yeah, I came to New York to be a journalist and sent letters out everywhere... and then finally got a call from Elias-Clarke... and met with Sherry up at Human Resources. Basically, it's this or Auto Universe.
Miranda So you don't read Runway?
Andy Uh, no.
Miranda And before today, you had never heard of me.
Andy No.
Miranda And you have no style or sense of fashion.
Andy Well, um, I think that depends on what you're-
Miranda No, no. That wasn't a question.
Andy Um, I was editor in chief of the Daily Northwestern. I also, um, won a national competition for college journalists... with my series on the janitors'union, which exposed the exploitation-
Miranda That's all.
Andy Yeah. You know, okay. You're right. I don't fit in here. I am not skinny or glamorous... and I don't know that much about fashion. But I'm smart. I learn fast and I will work very hard.
Nigel All right, I got the exclusive on the Cavalli for Gwyneth... but the problem is, with that huge feathered headdress that she's wearing... she looks like she's working the main stage at the Golden Nugget.
Andy Thank you for your time.
Nigel Who is that sad little person? Are we doing a before-and-after piece I don't know about?
Scene 3
A Girl Brown and Law, please? Thank you.
Emily Andrea.
Andy Hmm?
Scene 4
Nate Wait. You got a job at a fashion magazine?
Andy Mm-hmm.
Nate What was it, a phone interview?
Lilly Wow.
Andy Ow! Don't be a jerk.
Doug Miranda Priestly is famous for being unpredictable.
Andy Okay, Doug. How is it that you know who she is and I didn't?
Doug I'm actually a girl.
Andy Oh!
Lilly That would explain so much.
Doug Look, seriously. Miranda Priestly is a huge deal. I bet a million girls would kill for that job.
Andy Yeah, great. The thing is I'm not one of them.
Lilly Look, you gotta start somewhere, right? I mean, look at this dump Nate works in. I mean, come on. Paper napkins? Hello.
Nate Yeah. And Lily, she works at that gallery doing, uh, you know- Oh, I'm sorry. What exactly is it that you do anyway?
Doug Well, lucky for me, I already have my dream job.
Andy You're a corporate research analyst!
Doug Oh, you're right. My job sucks.
Andy No!
Doug It sucks. I don't- It's boring.
Lilly It's all right. Breathe.
Doug I'm trying.
Lilly Here. Take a drink.
Doug I will have a drink. I will have a drink.
Nate Ah, yes.
Andy I'd like to propose a toast. To jobs that pay the rent.
Doug To jobs that pay the rent.
Lilly Jobs that pay the rent.
Scene 5
Andy Oh, baby. You should see the way these girls at Runway dress. I don't have a thing to wear to work.
Nate Come on. You're gonna be answering phones and getting coffee. You need a ball gown for that?
Andy I think I might.
Nate Well, I happen to think you look great always.
Andy Aww! I think you're full of it.
Nate Hey.Andy Yeah.
Nate Come on. Let's go home. I can think of something we can do that doesn't require any clothing.
Andy Really?
Nate Mmm.
Scene 6
Andy Hello?
Emily Andrea, Miranda decided to kill the autumn jacket story for September... and she is pulling up the Sedona shoot from October. You need to come into the office right this second and pick up her coffee order on the way.
Andy Now?
Emily Now, get a pen and write this down. I want one no-foam skimmed latte with an extra shot... and three drip coffees with room for milk. Searing hot. And I mean hot.
Andy Hello?
Emily Where are you?
Andy Oh, I'm almost there. Yeah. Shoot! Oh!
Scene 7
Miranda Is there some reason that my coffee isn't here? Has she died or something?
Emily No. [Whispers] God. Oh. Bloody time. I hope you know that this is a very difficult job-
Andy Mm-hmm.
Emily For which you are totally wrong. And if you mess up, my head is on the chopping block. Now, hang that up. Don't just fling it anywhere. Okay. First of all, you and I answer the phones. The phone must be answered every single time it rings. Calls roll to voice mail, and she gets very upset. If I'm not here-Andrea, Andrea- you are chained to that desk.
Andy Well, what if I need to-
Emily What? No. One time an assistant left the desk because she sliced her hand open with a letter opener... and Miranda missed Lagerfeld... just before he boarded a 17-hour flight to Australia. She now works at TV Guide.
Andy Man the desk at all times. Got it. Uh…
Emily Miranda Priestly's office. No, she's not available.
Andy Who is it?[Mouthing Words]
Emily Yes, I will tell her you called... yet again. Right. Remember, you and I have totally different jobs. I mean, you get coffee- and you run errands. Yet I am in charge of her schedule... her appointments and her expenses. And, um, most importantly, um... I get to go with her to Paris for Fashion Week in the fall. I get to wear couture. I go to all the shows and all the parties. I meet all of the designers. It's divine. Okay. Now, stay here. I'm going to the art department to give them the Book.
Andy The…
Emily This is the Book. Now, it is a mock-up of everything... in the current issue. And we deliver it to Miranda's apartment every night, and she retu- Don't touch it. She returns it to us in the morning with her notes. Now, the second assistant is supposed to do this... but Miranda is very private and she does not like strangers in her house. So until she decides that you are not a total psycho... I get the lovely task of waiting around for the Book.
Andy Oh, Emily? What do I do-
Emily Deal with it.받으면 돼
Andy Hello. Mrs. Priestly's office. Hmm. That's what I meant. Miranda Priestly's office. Um, you know, she is in a meeting. Can I please take a message? Uh-huh. Okay. Can you please spell Gabbana? Hello? I guess not.
Nigel I guessed an eight and a half.
Andy Um, uh, that's very nice of you... but I don't think I need these. Miranda hired me. She knows what I look like.
Nigel Do you?
[SCENE #8]
Miranda Emily. Emily?
Nigel She means you.
Man We just cut on the bias.
Miranda That's not what I asked you. I couldn't have been clearer. There you are, Emily. How many times do I have to scream your name?
Andy Actually, it's Andy. My name is Andy. Andrea, but, uh, everybody calls me Andy. ]
Miranda I need 10 or 15 skirts from Calvin Klein.
Andy What kind of skirts do you-
Miranda Please bore someone else with your questions. And make sure we have Pier 59 at 8:00 a.m. Tomorrow. Remind Jocelyn I need to see a few of those satchels that Marc is doing in the pony. And then tell Simone I'll take Jackie if Maggie isn't available. Did Demarchelier confirm?
Andy D-Did D-Demarchel-
Miranda Demarchelier. Did he- Get him on the phone.
Andy Uh, o- okay.
Miranda And, Emily?
Andy Yes?
Miranda That's all. It's just the cavalier disregard for clear directions… Do you have Demarchelier?
Andy Uh, Demarchelier.
Emily Leave it.
Andy Do you have…
Emily I have Miranda Priestly calling. I have Patrick!
Andy Uh, no, she called me in there and-and then she asked me about Pier 59. And there was something about Simone, Frankie, someone else. And, um, she needs skirts from Calvin Klein. And, uh, there was something about a pony.
Emily Did she say which skirts?
Andy No. No.
Emily Did she say what kind? Color, shape, fabric?
Andy I tried to ask her.
Emily You may never ask Miranda anything. Right. I will deal with all of this, and you will go to Calvin Klein.
Andy Eh- Me?
Emily Oh, I'm sorry. Do you have some prior commitment? Some hideous skirt Convention you have to go to? 히디어스
Andy Uh-
[SCENE #9]
Andy Miranda?
Miranda Are you there?
Andy I'm about to walk in. I'll call you as soon as- Hello? Hi.
Emily While you're out... Miranda needs you to go to Hermes to pick up 25 scarves we ordered for her.
Andy Okay.
Emily Cassidy forgot her homework at Dalton. Pick that up. Miranda went out to meet with Meisel. And she will want more Starbucks when she gets back. Hot Starbucks.
Andy Can you just repeat that first… Hello?
[SCENE #10]
Emily Oh, my God. What took you so long? I have to pee!
Andy What? You haven't peed since I left?
Emily No, I haven't. I've been manning the desk, haven't I? I'm bursting.
Andy Oh, hi.
Emily You do coat. Do the coat!
Andy Okay.
Emily Now, be prepared. The run-through is at 12:30. People are panicking, so the phone is going to be ringing off the hook.
Andy The ru-The run-through. Right.
Emily Yes. Editors bring in options for the shoot, and Miranda chooses. She chooses every single thing in every single issue. Run-throughs are a huge deal. I don't know why you don't know that, Andrea.
Serena Okay. Are you ready?
Emily Oh, hi, hi. Right. Well, after the loo, Serena and I are going to lunch. This is her- the new me.
Andy Hi.
Emily Told you.
Serena I thought you were kidding.
Emily No, quite serious, yeah. I get 20 minutes for lunch, and you get 15. When I come back, you can go.
Andy Okay.
Serena What exactly is she wearing?
Emily Her grandmother's skirt.
[SCENE #11]
Nigel Hmm. Corn chowder. That's an interesting choice. You do know that cellulite is one of the main ingredients in corn chowder.
Andy So none of the girls here eat anything?
Nigel Not since two became the new four and zero became the new two.
Andy Well, I'm a six.
Nigel Which is the new 14.
Andy Oh. Shoot.
Nigel Oh, never mind. I'm sure you have plenty more polyblend where that came from.
Andy Okay. You think my clothes are hideous. I get it. But, you know, I'm not going to be in fashion forever... so I don't see the point of changing everything about myself just because I have this job.
Nigel Yes, that's true. That's really what this multibillion-dollar industry is all about anyway, isn't it? Inner beauty. Hello. Right. Come on. Miranda's pushed the run-through up a half an hour.
Andy Mmm!
Nigel She's always 15 minutes early.
Andy Which means?
Nigel You're already late. Come.
Andy Shoot!
Nigel Excuse me.
[SCENE #12]
Nigel Mr. Ravitz.
Mr. Ravitz Nigel. Issue going well?
Nigel Oh, yes. Our best September ever.
Mr. Ravitz Great. Heard Miranda killed autumn jackets and pulled up the Sedona shoot. What's that costing me?
Nigel About 300,000.
Mr. Ravitz Must have been some lousy jackets.
Mr. Ravitz Irv Ravitz.
Nigel Oh, I'm sorry. This is Andy Sachs, Miranda's new assistant.
Mr. Ravitz Congratulations, young lady. A million girls would kill for that job.
Nigel Bye-bye.
Andy Hmm?
Nigel Chairman of Elias-Clarke, Irv Ravitz. You know what they say? Tiny man, huge ego.
[SCENE #13]
Miranda No. And I've seen all this before.
Woman Theyskens is trying to reinvent the drop waist, so actually it's-
Miranda Where are all the other dresses?
Woman We have some right here.
Nigel Stand, watch and listen.
Woman And I think it can be very interesting-
Miranda No. No, I just… It's just baffling to me. Why is it so impossible to put together a decent run-through? You people have had hours and hours to prepare. It's just so confusing to me. Where are the advertisers?
Woman We have some pieces from Banana Republic.
Miranda We need more, don't we? Oh. This is-This might be…What do you think of…
Nigel Yeah. Well, you know me. Give me a full ballerina skirt and a hint of saloon and I'm on board.
Miranda But do you think it's too much like…
Nigel Like the Lacroix from July? I thought that, but no, not with the right accessories. It should work.
Miranda Where are the belts for this dre…Why is no one ready?
Woman Here. It's a tough call. They're so different.
Miranda Hmm. Something funny?
Andy No. No, no. Nothing's…You know, it's just that both those belts look exactly the same to me. You know, I'm still learning about this stuff and, uh-
Miranda "This... stuff'? Oh. Okay. I see. You think this has nothing to do with you. You go to your closet... and you select- I don't know that lumpy blue sweater, for instance... because you're trying to tell the world that you take yourself too seriously... to care about what you put on your back. But what you don't know is that that sweater is not just blue. It's not turquoise. It's not lapis. It's actually cerulean. And you're also blithely unaware of the fact... that in 2002, Oscar de la Renta did a collection of cerulean gowns. And then I think it was Yves Saint
Laurent- wasn't it- who showed cerulean military jackets? I think we need a jacket here.
Nigel Mmm.
Miranda And then cerulean quickly showed up in the collections of eight different designers. And then it, uh, filtered down through the department stores... and then trickled on down into some tragic Casual Corner... where you, no doubt, fished it out of some clearance bin. However, that blue represents millions of dollars... and countless jobs... and it's sort of comical how you think that you've made a choice... that exempts you from the fashion industry... when, in fact... you're wearing a sweater that was selected for you by the people in this room... from a pile of stuff.
[SCENE #14]
Andy So then I said, "No, I couldn't see the difference... between the two absolutely identical belts"... and you should have seen the look she gave me! I thought the flesh was gonna melt off her face. It's not funny. She's not happy unless everyone around her is panicked, nauseous or suicidal. And the Clackers just worship her.
Nate The who?
Andy They call them Clackers. The sound that their stilettos make in the marble lobby. It's like, "Clack, clack, clack. Clack, clack." And they all act like they're curing cancer or something. The amount of time and energy... that these people spend on these insignificant, minute details, and for what? So that tomorrow they can spend another $300,000 reshooting something... that was probably fine to begin with... to sell people things they don't need! God! I'm not even hungry anymore.
Nate What?
Andy That is why those girls are so skinny.
Nate Oh. No, no, no. Give me that. There's, like, eight dollars of Jarlsberg in there.
Andy You know what? I just have to stick it out for a year. One year. And then I can do what I came to New York to do. But I can't let Miranda get to me. I won't.
Nate Easy there, tiger.
[SCENE #15]
Andy Oh, good morning, Miranda.
Miranda Get me Isaac. I don't see my breakfast here. Are my eggs here? Where are my eggs?
Andy Excuse me!
Miranda Pick up the Polaroids from the lingerie shoot. Have the brakes checked on my car. Where's that piece of paper I had in my hand yesterday morning? The girls need new surfboards or boogie boards or something for spring break.
Andy Hello.
Emily The twins also need flip-flops.
Andy Oh, my gosh!
Miranda Pick up my shoes from Blahnik, and then go get Patricia.
Andy Who's that? Good girl! Good girl! Good girl!
Miranda Get me that little table that I liked at that store on Madison. Get us a reservation for dinner tonight at that place that got the good review. Get me Isaac. Thirty-six thank-you notes delivered today. Where is everyone? Why is no one working?
Miranda Get me Demarchelier.
Andy I have Miranda Priestly calling for…Okay. I have Patrick. Thank God it's Friday, right? At least Miranda will be in Miami, so we don't have to be on call this weekend. You know, my dad's coming in from Ohio. Yeah, we're gonna go out to dinner, maybe see Chicago. You doing anything fun this weekend?
Emily Yes.
[SCENE #16]
Andy Yeah, Nate said it was great. He actually- He applied here, but theywanted someone with more experience.
Dad Here.
Andy Huh? What's this?
Dad I don't want you to get behind on your rent.
Andy Dad, how did you-
Dad It's…
Andy I'm gonna kill Mom. Dad, thank you.
Dad Mm-hmm.
Andy It's really good to see you.
Dad You too, honey.
Andy So, you want to start grilling me now... or should we wait till after dinner?
Dad I thought I'd let you at least enjoy the bread basket first.
Andy No, no, no. It's okay. Go right ahead.
Dad We're just a little worried, honey. We get e-mails from you at your office at 2:00 a.m. Your pay is terrible. You don't get to write anything.
Andy Hey, that's not fair. I wrote those e-mails. 6
Dad I'm just trying to understand why someone who got accepted to Stanford Law... turns it down to be a journalist, and now you're not even doing that.
Andy Dad, you have to trust me. Being Miranda's assistant opens a lot of doors. Emily is going to Paris with Miranda in a few months... and she's gonna meet editors and writers from every important magazine. And in a year, that could be me. All right?
Dad Mm-hmm.
Andy Dad, I swear, this is my break. This is my- my chance. This is my boss. I'm sorry, Dad. I have to take this. Hello. Miranda?
Miranda My flight has been canceled. It's some absurd weather problem. I need to get home tonight. The twins have a recital tomorrow morning at school.
Andy What?
Miranda At school!
Andy Absolutely. Let me see what I can do.
Miranda Good.
Andy Hi. Um, I know this is totally last minute... but I was hoping that you could maybe get a flight for my boss... from Miami to New York tonight? Uh-
Dad It's right here. Thank you.
Andy Yeah, any kind of jet. From Miami to New York.
Dad Thank you.
Andy Yup, I need it tonight. I need it-
Dad Ow!
Andy I thought you were going out the other-
Dad Sweetie! No. It's over here, honey.
Andy Tonight. Hi. I'm trying to get a flight tonight for tonight from Miami to New York. Yes, I know there's a hurricane. Nothing is flying out? What do you mean, nothing is flying out? It's for Miranda Priestly, and I know that she's a client of yours. Yes. Yes, hi. I need a jet tonight from Miami to New York. Yeah. Sorry. Hold on. Hello? Miranda, hi. I'm trying to get you a flight, but no one is flying out because of the weather.
Miranda Please. It's just…I don't know… drizzling. Someone must be getting out. Call Donatella. Get her jet. Call everybody else that we know that has a jet. Irv? Call every… This is your responsibi…This is your job. Get me home.
Andy Oh, my God! She's going to murder me.
Dad What does she want you to do, call the National Guard and have her air lifted out of there?
Andy Of course not. Could I do that?
Dad Come on. Come on.
[SCENE #17]
Miranda The girls' recital was absolutely wonderful. They played Rachmaninoff. Everyone loved it. Everyone except me... because, sadly, I was not there.
Andy Miranda, I'm so sorry.
Miranda Do you know why I hired you? I always hire the same girl- stylish, slender, of course... worships the magazine. But so often, they turn out to be- I don't know- disappointing and, um... stupid. So you, with that impressive resume... and the big speech about your so-called work ethic- I, um- I thought you would be different. I said to myself, go ahead. Take a chance. Hire the smart, fat girl. I had hope. My God. I live on it. Anyway, you ended up disappointing me more than, um- more than any of the other silly girls.
Andy Um, I really did everything I could think of. Uh…
Miranda That's all.
Emily Excuse me! Where do you think you're going?
Andy She hates me, Nigel.
Nigel And that's my problem because- Oh, wait. No, it's not my problem.
Andy I don't know what else I can do because if I do something right, it's unacknowledged. She doesn't even say thank you. But if I do something wrong, she is vicious.
Nigel So quit.
Andy What?
Nigel Quit.
Andy Quit?
Nigel I can get another girl to take your job in five minutes- one who really wants it.
Andy No, I don't want to quit. That's not fair. But, you know, I'm just saying that I would just like a little credit... for the fact that I'm killing myself trying.
Nigel Andy, be serious. You are not trying. You are whining. What is it that you want me to say to you, huh? Do you want me to say, "Poor you. Miranda's picking on you. Poor you. Poor Andy"? Hmm? Wake up, six. She's just doing her job. Don't you know that you are working at the place... that published some of the greatest artists of the century? Halston, Lagerfeld, de la Renta. And what they did, what they created... was greater than art because you live your life in it. Well, not you, obviously, but some people. You think this is just a magazine, hmm? This is not just a magazine. This is a shining beacon of hope for- oh, I don't know- let's say a young boy growing up in Rhode Island with six brothers... pretending to go to soccer practice when he was really going to sewing class... and reading Runway under the covers at night with a flashlight. You have no idea how many legends have walked these halls. And what's worse, you don't care. Because this place, where so many people would die to work... you only deign to work. And you want to know why she doesn't kiss you on the forehead... and give you a gold star on your homework at the end of the day. Wake up, sweetheart.
Andy Okay. So I'm screwing it up.
Nigel Mmm.
Andy I don't want to. I just wish that I knew what I could do to- Nigel?
Nigel Hmm?
Andy Nigel, Nigel.
Nigel No. I don't know what you expect me to do. There's nothing in this whole closet that'll fit a size six. I can guarantee you. These are all sample sizes- two and four. All right. We're doing this for you. And-
Andy A poncho?
Nigel You'll take what I give you and you'll like it. We're doing this Dolce for you.
Andy Hmm!
Nigel And shoes. Jimmy Choo's.
Andy Hmm.
Nigel Manolo Blahnik.
Andy Wow.
Nigel Nancy Gonzalez. Love that. Okay, Narciso Rodriguez. This we love. Uh, it might fit. It might.
Andy What?
Nigel Okay. Now, Chanel. You're in desperate need of Chanel. Darling, shall we? We have to get to the beauty department, and God knows how long that's going to take.
[SCENE #18]
Emily I mean, I have no idea why Miranda hired her.
Serena Me neither. The other day, we were in the beauty department. She held up the Shu Uemura eyelash curler and said, "What is this?"
Emily I just knew from the moment I saw her... she was going to be a complete and utter disas-
Andy Miranda Priestly's office. No, actually, she's not available, but I'll leave word. Okay, thanks. Bye.
Emily How did…Are you wearing the…
Andy The Chanel boots? Yeah, I am.
Serena You look good.
Emily Oh, God.
Serena What? She does.
Emily Oh, shut up, Serena.
[SCENE #19]
Nate See you guys tomorrow.
Man Good night, man. Take it easy.
Nate Take care of that finger, huh?
Andy So, what do you think?
Nate Uh, I think we better get out of here... before my girlfriend sees me.
[SCENE #20]
Miranda The gowns are fabulous. Mm-hmm. We're gonna use the burgundy. Gotta find…
[SCENE #21]
Nate So we spent a whole semester on potatoes alone. You take the fry and squeeze it. See how firm that is?
Andy Hey. Oh, I'm so sorry I'm late. There was a crisis in the accessories department. I needed to find a python headband.
Doug Python's hot right now.
Andy I have exciting presents for all of you. Are you ready?
Lilly What is that?
Andy It's a Bang & Olufsen phone. Charlie Rose sent it to Miranda for her birthday. I looked it up on line. It's $1,100.
Lilly What?
Nate Wow!
Andy And I have some products. Mason Pearson hairbrushes. A little Clinique.
Lilly Ooh!
Doug Oh, damn it. I love your job.
Andy Oh.! One more. A little thing. Do you want it? You want- Oh.
Lilly Gimme! Gimme, gimme, gimme!
Andy I think she likes it.
Lilly Oh, my God! This is the new Marc Jacobs! This is sold out everywhere. Where did you get this?
Andy Miranda didn't want it, so-
Lilly No, no, no, no, no. This bag is, like, $1,900. I cannot take this from you.
Andy Yeah, you can.
Nate Why do women need so many bags?
Lilly Shut up.
Nate You have one. You put all your junk in it, and that's it. You're done.
Doug Fashion is not about utility. An accessory is merely a piece of iconography... used to express individual identity.
Lilly Oh! And it's pretty.
Doug That too.
Andy Yeah. But, y’know, the thing is, it turns out there is more to Runway than just fancy purses. Look, here's an essay by Jay Mclnerney, a piece by Joan Didion. Even an interview with Christiane Amanpour.
Nate Looks like someone's been drinking the Kool-Aid.
Andy What do you… Nate.
Nate I got it. It's-Yup, the Dragon Lady.
Andy Oh, Miranda?
Lilly Let me talk to her.
Andy No, ok, I need that.
Lilly I'll tell her to get her own scrambled eggs.
Andy Lily, no, no, no! Put that thing up! I was gonna answer it! It's gonna make…Give me the... phone. Hi, Miranda.
Nate Ooh. Shh.
Andy Absolutely.
Nate Shh!
Andy Uh-huh. I'm leaving right now. You know, you guys didn't have to be such assholes.
[SCENE #22]
Andy Um, excuse me. I'm looking for James Holt.
Girl Um, that's him right there.
Andy Oh. Thanks.
Girl No problem.
James I put my stuff out there, and I pray they improve.
Man Really?
Andy Excuse me.
James Hi.
Andy I'm Andy. I'm picking up for Miranda Priestly.
James Oh, yes. You must be the new Emily. Nice to meet you. Oh, let me see that bag. Very, very nice.
Andy Ah.
James Distressed, studded leather, pieced by hand, finished with a metallic fringe. Very nice, indeed. Who made that fantastic thing?
Andy You.
James Hmm. Duh. This way. Uh, here we go. It's a sketch of Miranda's dress for the benefit. Also the centerpiece of my spring collection. Top secret stuff.
Andy I'll guard it with my life.
James Please do. Come on. You're working for Miranda Priestly now. You must be in desperate need of hard liquor. Excuse us, girls. She'll have the punch. It's deadly. Have fun. Christian He's right, you know.
Andy Hmm?
Christian The punch.I drank it at James's last party. I woke up in Hoboken wearing nothing but a poncho and a cowboy hat.
Andy Ah. Well.
Christian Wise.
Andy Uh, hi.
Christian Christian Thompson.
Andy Christian Thompson? You're kidding. No, you're-You write for, like, every magazine I love. I actually- I reviewed your collection of essays for my college newspaper.
Christian Did you mention my good looks and my killer charm?
Andy No, but-
Christian What do you do?
Andy Oh. Well, I want to work for somewhere like The New Yorker or Vanity Fair. I am a writer too.
Christian Is that right?
Andy Mm-hmm.
Christian I should read your stuff. Why don't you send it over?
Andy Yeah? That would be-Thank you. That would be great. But actually, right now, I'm working as Miranda Priestly's assistant.
Christian Oh, you're kidding. Well, that's too bad. That's-Whoa. You'll never survive Miranda.
Andy Excuse me?
Christian Well, you seem nice, smart. You can't do that job.
Andy Gotta go.
Christian Okay. Well, it was very, very nice to meet you, Miranda girl.
[SCENE #23]
Miranda Emily? Call James Holt's office. Tell them I want to move the preview up to today at 12:30. Tell everybody else. Be ready to leave in half an hour.
Nigel But we're not expected until Tuesday. Did she say why?
Andy Yes. Yeah, she explained every detail of her decision making. And then we brushed each other's hair and gabbed about American Idol.
Nigel I see your point.
Andy What's a preview anyway?
Women Good morning, Miranda.
Nigel Miranda insists upon seeing all the designers' collections... before they show them.
James Great to see you.
Miranda Hello, James.
Andy And she tells them what she thinks?
Nigel In her way.
James Uh, this season really began for me with a meditation... on the intersection between East and West.
Nigel There's a scale. One nod is good. Two nods is very good. There's only been one actual smile on record, and that was Tom Ford in 2001.
James An obi belt.
Nigel She doesn't like it, she shakes her head.
James This is the dress that we have designed specifically and exclusively for you.
Nigel Then, of course, there's the pursing of the lips.
Andy Which means?
Nigel Catastrophe.
James Just, uh-Just go.
Miranda I just don't understand. I'm appalled. It's absurd. Appalled. You deal with it.
Nigel I'll talk to him.
Andy So because she pursed her lips, he's gonna change his entire collection?
Nigel You still don't get it, do you? Her opinion is the only one that matters.
Miranda Call my husband and confirm dinner.
Andy At Pastis? Done.
Miranda And I'll need a change of clothes.
Andy Well, I've already messengered your outfit over to the shoot.
Miranda Fine. And, Andrea, I would like you to deliver the Book to my home tonight. Have Emily give you the key.
Andy Mm-hmm.
[SCENE #24]
Emily Guard this with your life.
Andy Of course. You know, if I can deliver the Book, then that means I must have done something right. I'm not a psycho. Oh, and, you know, she called me Andrea? I mean, she didn't call me Emily, which is- Isn't that great?
Emily Yeah, whoopee. Right. Now, it's very important that you do exactly what I'm about to tell you.
Andy Oh. Okay.
Emily The Book is assembled by 10:00, 10:30... and you must wait around for it until then. You will be delivering Miranda's dry cleaning with the Book. Now, the car will take you straight to Miranda's townhouse. You let yourself in. Andrea. You do not talk to anyone. Do not look at anyone. This is of the utmost importance. You must be invisible. Do you understand?
Andy Uh-huh.
Emily You open the door and you walk across the foyer. You hang the dry cleaning in the closet across from the staircase.
Andy Uh.
Emily And you leave the Book on the table with the flowers.
Andy Shit!
Girl It's that door to the left.
Andy Okay. Thank you.
Girl You can give the Book to us.
Andy Shh. Which-Which table?
Girl It's okay. Come on up.
Andy No, I can't. I can't.
Girl What? It's okay. Come on. Yeah, come on. It's okay.
Andy Please stop talking.
Girl Or you can bring the Book upstairs. Emily does it all the time.
Girl 2 She does? Right. She does, all the time.
Andy Yeah? Okay.
Miranda What did you expect me to do, walk out in the middle of a cover shoot?
Man I rushed out of an investment committee meeting... and I sat there waiting for you for almost an hour.
Miranda I told you the cell phones didn't work. Nobody could get a signal out.
Man I knew what everyone in that restaurant was thinking- there he is, waiting for her again.
[SCENE #25]
Andy Okay, okay! Okay, okay.
Emily Oh, no. Shh!
Andy It really wasn't that big a deal. I promise. The twins said hello, so I said hello back. Then I went up the stairs to give her the Book and-
Emily You went upstairs? You went upstairs. Oh, my God. Why didn't you just climb into bed with her and ask for a bedtime story?
Andy Okay, okay. I made a mistake. I know.
Emily Andrea, you don't understand. If you get fired, that might jeopardize Paris for me. If that happens, I will search every Blimpie's in the tristate area until I track you down.
Andy She's gonna fire me?
Emily I don't know. She's not happy.
Miranda Andrea?
Andy Miranda, about last night, l-
Miranda I need the new Harry Potter book for the twins.
Andy Okay. Okay. I'll go down to Barnes & Noble right now.
Miranda Did you fall down and smack your little head on the pavement?
Andy Not that I can recall.
Miranda We have all the published Harry Potter books. The twins want to know what happens next.
Andy You want the unpublished manuscript?
Miranda We know everyone in publishing. It shouldn't be a problem, should it? And you can do anything, right? Yes, Bobbsey. I know, baby. Mommy's working very hard to get it for you.
Andy She doesn't get it. Y’know, I could call frickin' J.K. Rowling herself. I'm not gonna get a copy of that book.
Miranda My girls are leaving on the train for their grandmother's at 4:00... so the book better be here no later than 3:00.
Andy Of course!
Miranda And I would like my steak here in 15 minutes.
Andy No problem! Okay. I have four hours to get the impossible manuscript. Smith & Wollensky's doesn't open until 11:30. How am I gonna get the steak? Okay. I will be back in 15 minutes. Wish me luck!
Emily No. Shan't.
[SCENE #26]
Andy Yes, yes, yes, yes. I've been on hold. It's for Miranda Priestly. It's very important. Yes, I know it's impossible to get... but, well, I was wondering if you could make the impossible possible... if that's at all possible. Yes, I'm calling about the Harry Potter manuscript. Uh, no. Unpublished. Not a chance? Tell her that it's for Miranda Priestly. 'Cause I think it makes a difference. Let me call you back. Hi. You probably don't remember me, but we met at James Holt's party. I'm Miranda Priestly's assistant.
Christian The Harry Potter manuscript? Oh, you're kidding.
Andy Uh, sorry to ask, but I'm desperate.
Christian Just tell her it can't be done. You'll have to come up with a Plan "B."
Andy Well, this is Miranda Priestly we're talking about. There is no Plan "B." There's only Plan "A." Is she back? Am I fired?
Emily I rarely say this to people who aren't me... but you have got to calm down. Bloody hell!
Miranda Coat, bag. What's that? Oh, I don't want that. I'm having lunch with Irv. I'll be back at 3:00. I'd like my Starbucks waiting. Oh, and if you don't have that Harry Potter book by then... don't even bother coming back.
[SCENE #27]
Nate Hello. Quit? Are you sure?
Andy I failed. She's gonna fire me anyway. I might as well beat her to the punch.
Nate Wow. Andy, good for you. Congratulations. You're free.
Andy Yeah. Well, listen, I'll call you later.
Nate Okay.
Andy Hello.
Christian I'm brilliant. No, really. Monuments should be erected in my honor.
Andy You didn't.
Christian Oh, yes. A friend of a friend does the cover art... and she happens to have the manuscript.
Andy Oh, no, 'cause that would mean that I actually did something right. It's just- Oh! The thing is, Christian, I was just-
Christian Look, you want this thing, you better hurry. I'll meet you at the St. Regis.
Andy Excuse me.
Man Welcome to the St. Regis. May I assist you with anything?
Andy Oh. Yes. Uh, I'm meeting someone at the King Cole Bar.
Man Right this way.
Andy Hi.
Christian You have one hour.
Andy Thank you.
[SCENE #28]
Miranda One copy. What are my twins gonna do with that? Share?
Andy Oh, no, I made two copies... and had them covered, reset and bound so that they wouldn't look like manuscripts. This is an extra copy to have on file. You know, just in case.
Miranda Well, where are these fabulous copies? I don't see them anywhere.
Andy They're with the twins, now on the train on the way to Grandma's. Is there anything else I can do for you?
Miranda Mm-mmm. That's all.
Andy Okay.
[SCENE #29]
Andy Hey.
Nate Hey. I went to Dean & Deluca. Man, they charge, like, five dollars a strawberry there. But I figure since you quit your job... we should celebrate.
Andy Listen, Nate.
Nate Wait a minute. You quit your job, but you're still working on the twins' science project? Well, that's big of you.
Andy Okay, after we talked, I realized... it doesn't make sense throwing away all those months of hard work. I just had a moment of weakness, that's all.
Nate Yeah, well, either that, or your job sucks and your boss is a wacko. All right. Whatever. It's your job.
Andy Nate. Come on. I'm still the same person I was. I still want the same things. Okay?
Nate Mm-hmm.
Andy I promise. Same Andy, better clothes.
Nate I like the old clothes.
Andy Really? Well, what about these necklaces? Do you like them? No? And this dress, it's new.
Nate Eh.
Andy Well, there is one other thing that's new... that I thought you might like. But, uh-What about this? You don't like it. I should better do-
Nate No, no, no, no.
[SCENE #30]
Nigel Is this number two look? This is number two?
Andy Hi.
Nigel Hi. All right. Turn around for me, darling.
Andy Oh, I get it. I get it. I get it. The piece is called "urban jungle, "right?
Nigel Yes, the modern woman unleashes the animal within to take on the big city. Good. Go. Sometimes I can't believe I talk about this crap all day. Bobby, come here. Let me see.
Andy Oh, thank you.
Nigel Make sure Miranda gets these as soon as possible.
Andy Mm-hmm.
Nigel And tell her I switched in the Dior for the Rocha.
Andy Oh, great. Can't wait.
Nigel Excuse me. Can we adjust the attitude?
Andy I'm sorry.
Nigel Don't make me feed you to one of the models.
Andy I'm sorry. It's a busy day. My personal life is hanging by a thread, that's all.
Nigel Join the club. That's what happens when you start doing well at work, darling. Let me know when your whole life goes up in smoke. That means it's time for a promotion.
[SCENE #31]
Miranda No. All right, February, back of the issue. Did anybody speak with Salma's people yet?
Woman Yes, but she'd rather do a summer cover because she has a movie coming out.
Miranda No. Also, I'm pulling the Toobin piece on the Supreme Court women- woman. And I need to see a new draft on that piece... about shopping for a plastic surgeon- It's dull. And this layout for the Winter Wonderland spread. Not wonderful yet.
Man Oh, okay. L-I'll look at it.
Miranda What about Testino? Where are we on that?
Nigel Zac Posen's doing some very sculptural suits. So I suggested that, uh, Testino shoot them at the Noguchi Garden.
Miranda Perfect. Thank God somebody came to work today. What about accessories for April?
Woman One thought I had was enamel. Um, bangles, pendants, earrings.
Miranda No. We did that two years ago. What else?
Woman Um, well, they're showing a lot of florals right now, so I was thinking-
Miranda Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking.
Man But we thought about shooting them in an industrial space. We thought the contrast between the femininity of the florals... and the more raw, rough-hewn background would create this wonderful tension between-
Miranda No.
Man Which?
Miranda No. Does anybody else have anything I can possibly use? Antibacterial wipes perhaps?
[SCENE #32]
Andy How's the cold doing?
Emily Like death warmed up actually. Oh, God. It's the benefit tonight. I've been looking forward to it for months. I refuse to be sick.I'm wearing Valentino, for crying out loud. Right. Well, everybody will be leaving soon to get ready... so I suggest you go and drop Miranda's Fendi bag off at the showroom... and then I suppose you can just go home.
Andy Yeah? Oh, well, that is great. Perfect actually. I need to get to Magnolia Bakery before it closes. It's Nate's birthday tonight. So we're, uh, having a little party for him.
Emily Yeah, I'm hearing this, and I wanna hear this.
Andy Bye.
Emily I love my job. I love my job. I love my job.
[SCENE #33]
Andy Hello?
Miranda Before the benefit tonight, I need to make sure... that you're both fully prepped on the guest list.
Andy But I thought that only the first assistant went to the benefit.
Miranda Only when the first assistant hasn't decided to become... an incubus of viral plague. You'll come and help Emily. That's all.
Emily Right. These are all of the guests.Miranda invites everyone. Now we have to make sure that they all think she knows exactly who they are. And I've been studying for weeks.
Andy I have to learn all these by tonight?
Emily No, don't be silly, Andrea. These too.
Andy Look, you better just start without me, okay? I'll get there as soon as I can.
Lilly Andy, come on, it's his birth- Okay, but hurry.
Andy Oh, please, believe me, I will. This is the last thing that I wanna- Ooh, I love that. Uh, I'll call you the second I'm leaving, okay? Will that fit me?
Nigel Oh, yeah. A little Crisco and some fishing line, and we're in business.
[SCENE #34]
Nigel Well, nothing really. I mean, this is- I mean, really, this is the social event of the season.
Emily Oh, oh, my God. Andy, you look so chic.
Andy Oh, thanks, Em. You look so thin.
Emily Do I?
Andy Yeah.
Emily Oh, it's for Paris. I'm on this new diet. It's very effective.Well, I don't eat anything. And then when I feel like I'm about to faint, I eat a cube of cheese.
Andy Well, it's definitely working.
Emily I know. I'm just one stomach flu away from my goal weight.
[SCENE #35]
Emily That's John Folger, the new artistic director of the Chelsea Rep.
Miranda John, thanks for coming.
John Hey there. Oh, thank you.It's always nice seeing you.
Emily Stop fidgeting.
Andy I'm sorry. I'm so late.
Emily Just deal with it. You have to be here.
Andy Emily, come here. Isn't that Jacqueline Follet from French Runway?
Emily Oh, my God, and Miranda hates her. She was supposed to arrive after
Miranda left.
Andy I didn't- Oh.
Emily Yeah.
Mr. Ravitz Miranda, fabulous event as always.
Miranda You brought Jacqueline.
Jacqueline Surprise.
Miranda Quelle surprise. Oh, wonderful. We're so happy you were able to come to our little gathering.
Jacqueline Of course. I plan my whole year around this.
Miranda Well, we're so grateful that you do.
Jacqueline Ciao.
Miranda Have you gotten my note?
Mr. Ravitz Yes, I did. We'll discuss it on Wednesday.
Miranda Yes, I agree. No business tonight.
Mr. Ravitz Not tonight.
Miranda Enjoy.
Andy Em.
Emily Oh, thanks. Thanks. Oh, um- Oh, my God. I just can't remember what his name is. I just saw his name this morning on the list. It's- Oh, I know this. It's something to do with- Wait, he was- he was part of the-Oh, God, I know this. Um-
Andy It's Ambassador Franklin, and that's the woman that he left his wife for, Rebecca.
Miranda Rebecca. Ambassador.
Ambassador Miranda. You look fabulous.
Miranda Oh, very kind.
Emily Thank you.
[SCENE #36]
Christian Look at you.
Andy Hello.
Christian You're-You're a vision.
Andy Oh.
Christian Thank God I saved your job.
Andy You know, I figured out a few things on my own too. Turns out, I'm not as nice as you thought.
Christian I hope not. Well, if it weren't for the stupid boyfriend... I'd have to whisk you away right here and now.
Andy Do you actually say things like that to people?
Christian Evidently.
Andy Well, I gotta go.
Christian Are you sure? 'Cause my editor for New York Magazine is inside... and, you know, I could introduce you two. You sent over your stuff for me to look at? Remember?
Andy Yeah.
Christian All right, I gotta admit, I only read a couple. Cause it was a very large packet you sent.
Andy Yeah.
Christian But what I did read wasn't half bad. And, you know, I think-I think you have a talent, Andy. He should meet you. Why don't you come in? Just for one drink.
Andy Um, okay, yeah. I guess I could for one- No, I can't. I'm sorry, but I have to go.
Christian All right. Give my best to the boyfriend.
[SCENE #37]
Andy Roy, I'm sorry. Can you go any faster?
Roy I'm sure Nate will understand.
Andy Yeah.
[SCENE #38]
Andy Hey. Happy birthday. Nate, I'm so sorry. I kept trying to leave,but there was a lot going on. And, you know, I didn't have a choice.
Nate Don't worry about it. I'm gonna go to bed.
Andy Can we at least talk about this?
Nate You look really pretty.
[SCENE #39]
Miranda Andrea? Do you have the Book?
Andy Oh. Uh-
Miranda Mm. Paris is the most important week of my entire year. I need the best possible team with me. That no longer includes Emily.
Andy Wait. You want me to- No, Miranda. Emily would die. Her whole life is about Paris. She hasn't eaten in weeks. L-I can't... do that. Miranda, I can't.
Miranda If you don't go, I'll assume you're not serious about your future... at Runway or any other publication. The decision's yours. That's all.
[SCENE #40]
Nate Hey, Andy.
Andy Hey.
Nate You coming to bed anytime soon?
Andy Uh, yeah. Five minutes, okay?
Miranda Andrea, don't forget to tell Emily. Do it now.
Andy Don't pick up. Don't pick up. Don't pick up. Don't pick-
Emily Hi.
Andy Emily.
Emily Hi, hi. Sorry I'm late. It's just Miranda wanted some scarves from Hermes. And she did tell me yesterday, but I forgot like an idiot. And so I freaked out, of course.
Andy Emily, Emily, l-I need to talk to you.
Emily I called Martine at home, and she opened the shop early. Whoa! I'm sorry. She opened the shop early for me, so I got them, which is great.
Andy Okay. Um, Emily, wh-when you come in... there's something I have to talk to you about.
Emily Well, I hope it's not another Miranda problem.
Andy Not exactly.
Emily Well, good, because I've got so much to deal with before I go. I swear to God-
Woman Oh, my God.!
Andy Emily?
[SCENE #41]
Emily I don't care if she was gonna fire you or beat you with a red-hot poker! You should have said no.
Andy Emily, I didn't have a choice.
Emily Oh. Please.
Andy You know how she is.
Emily That is a pathetic excuse. Thanks. Do you know what really just... gets me about this whole thing... is that, you know, you're the one who said you don't really care about this stuff. And you don't really care about fashion. You just wanna be a journalist. What a pile of bollocks!
Andy Emily, I know you're mad.I don't blame you.
Emily Face it, Andy, you sold your soul the day you put on that first pair of Jimmy Choo's. I saw it. And you know what really just kills me about this whole thing... is the clothes that you're gonna get. I mean, you don't deserve them. You eat carbs, for Christ's sake. God, it's so unfair.!
Andy Emily.
Emily Just go.
Andy Emily, l-
Emily I said go!
[SCENE #42]
Doug You are going to Paris for the couture shows?
Andy Mm-hmm.
Doug That's the coolest fashion event of the year.
Andy Mm-hmm.
Doug I mean, who are you going to see, Galliano?
Andy Yeah.
Doug And Lagerfeld and Nicholas Ghesquiere.
Andy Yep. Yes. Okay, now you're scaring me.
Lily Hey.
Andy Hey. This show is amazing. I am so proud of you.
Lily Thank you. Okay, start with the photos in the back and work your way forward. That is the way I designed it. It is brilliant. You will love it.
Andy Of course.
Lily And you, I have somebody I want you to meet, okay?
Doug Ooh, art and sex. Lead the way.
Lily See you later. Okay.
Andy Okay.
Christian Hey. Hey, Miranda girl.
Andy Hi.
Christian I was just thinking about you.
Andy Oh, come on.
Christian It's true.
Andy No.
Christian I'm profiling Gaultier for Interview and, uh, making my Paris plans. I found myself wondering if, uh, you were gonna be there.
Andy Well, actually, um, I am going.
Christian Great. I'm staying in a fantastic little hotel in the Seventh... right across the street from the falafel restaurant that will change your life.
Andy I'm sorry. I'll be too busy working. You'll have to find someone else's life to change.
Christian Well, that's just it. I'm beginning to wonder if I can.
Andy Lily. Lily, he's just a guy I know from work.
Lily Yeah, that looked like work.
Andy Look, you're making a big deal out of-
Lily You know, the Andy I know is madly in love with Nate... is always five minutes early... and thinks, I don't know, Club Monaco is couture. For the last 16 years, I've known everything about that Andy. But this person? This "glamazon" who skulks around in corners... with some random hot fashion guy? I don't get her.
Andy Lily.
Lily Have fun in Paris.
Nate You going to Paris?
Andy Uh, yeah. It just happened.
Nate I thought Paris was a big deal for Emily or-
Andy Great. Now you're gonna give me a hard time too?
Nate Hey, Andy. Andy! Andy, what the hell is wrong with you?
Andy L-I didn't have a choice, okay? Miranda asked me, and I couldn't say no.
Nate I know. That's your answer for everything lately, "I didn't have a choice." Like this job was forced on you.
Andy Nate, I get it, okay?
Nate Like you don't make these decisions yourself.
Andy You're mad because I work late all the time and I missed your birthday party. And I'm sorry.
Nate Oh, come on. What am I, four?
Andy You-You hate Runway and Miranda. And you think fashion is stupid.n You've made that clear.
Nate Andy, I make port wine reductions all day. I'm not exactly in the Peace Corps. You know, I wouldn't care if you were out there pole dancing all night... as long as you did it with a little integrity. You used to say this was just a job. You used to make fun of the Runway girls. What happened? Now you've become one of them.
Andy That's absurd.
Nate That's okay. That's fine. Just own up to it. And then we can stop pretending like we have anything in common anymore.
Andy You don't mean that, do you?
Nate No, I do.
Andy Well... maybe this trip is coming at a good time. Maybe we should take a break. Nate? [Cell Phone Ringing] I'm sorry. Just... one second?
Nate You know, in case you were wondering... the person whose calls you always take, that's the relationship you're in. I hope you two are very happy together.
Andy Hello, Miranda.
[SCENE #43]
Valentino Pardon. Miranda.
Miranda Maestro. Mmm.
Valentino How are you? So glad to see you. Thank you for coming. You like the collection?
Miranda Absolutely. I think it's the best in years.
Valentino This is very important for me. Very, very important.
Miranda I'm very happy for you. This is my new Emily.
Valentino Hello. How do you do?
Andy I'm good. Pleasure.
Valentino Nice to meet you. You love the show?
Reporter1 Miranda. This way!
Reporter2 Miranda. Nigel. Fashion's great gatekeepers. Miranda, what is Runway's position on French fashion versus American fashion?
Christian I've been thinking-
Andy Oh.
Christian You still owe me for Harry Potter.
Andy Oh, do I?
Christian Of course you do. Are you working tonight?
Andy Oh! No, actually Miranda has a dinner.
Christian Great, you're free. Oh, but there is the problem of le boyfriend. Wait, don't tell me. The boyfriend non plus? Je suis tres, tres desole.
Andy Oh, you're so full of it. You're not desole at all.
Christian No, not even a little. What time should I pick you up?
Andy Uh…
Christian I'll call you.
Andy Yeah.
[SCENE #44]
Andy Oh.
Miranda Oh, there you are. We need to go over the seating, uh, chart for the luncheon.
Andy Okay. Um, yeah, sure. I have it right here.
Miranda By all means, move at a glacial pace. You know how that thrills me. Okay. So... first of all, we need to move Snoop Dogg to my table. But your table's full. Stephen isn't coming.
Andy Oh, Stephen is- So I don't need to fetch Stephen from the airport tomorrow?
Miranda Well, if you speak to him and he decides to rethink the divorce... then, yes, fetch away. You're very fetching, so go fetch. And then when we get back to New York, we need to contact, um... Leslie to see what she can do to minimize the press... on all this. Another divorce... splashed across page six. I can just imagine what they're gonna write about me. The Dragon Lady, career-obsessed. Snow Queen drives away another Mr. Priestly. Rupert Murdoch should cut me a check... for all the papers I sell for him. Anyway, I don't- I don't really care what anybody writes about me. But my- my girls, I just- It's just so unfair to the girls. It's just... another disappointment... another letdown, another father... figure- Gone. Anyway, the point is-The point is-The point is we really need to figure out where to place Donatella... because she's barelys peaking to anyone.
Andy I'm so sorry, Miranda. If you want me to cancel your evening, I can.
Miranda Don't be ridiculous. Why would we do that?
Andy Um, is- Is there anything else I can do?
Miranda Your job. That's all.
[SCENE #45]
Nigel Hi. I need Miranda's itinerary for tomorrow.
Andy Okay. Come on in.
Nigel All right? Thanks. Who put that together for you?
Andy This? Oh, it's just- it's just something I threw on.
Nigel Turn around. Let me see. Turn. Mm. Incroyable.
Andy Yeah?
Nigel It's really just- No, it's- No, gorgeous.
Andy Yeah? Okay, good.
Nigel Really. I think that my work here is done.
Andy Oh.
Nigel We're going to celebrate. I'm going to get some champagne.
Andy Okay. What are we toasting?
Nigel We are toasting, my dear, to the dream job. The one that a million girls wanted.
Andy Which I got months ago.
Nigel I'm not talking about you.
Andy Mm-hmm.
Nigel James Holt-
Andy Yeah.
Nigel Massimo Corteleoni... is investing in James's company and taking it global.
Andy Mm-hmm.
Nigel Bags, shoes, fragrances- the works. And James needs a partner. And that partner would be me.
Andy Does Miranda-
Nigel No, no, Miranda knows, because-
Andy Oh.
Nigel Oh, she put me up for it. God, no. Can you imagine?
Andy But- But- But you're leaving.
Nigel Mm-hmm.
Andy I can't imagine Runway without you.
Nigel I know, I know, but I'm so excited though. This is the first time in 18 years I'm going to be able to call the shots in my own life. Oh, my God.! I'm going to be able to come to Paris and actually see Paris.
Andy Well, congratulations.
Nigel Huh? Oh.
Andy Nigel, you deserve it.
Nigel You bet your size-six ass.
Andy Four.
Nigel Really?
Andy Cheers.
Nigel Cheers to you.
Andy To us.
Nigel Let me see that.
[SCENE #46]
Andy Okay, I just wanna say that yes, there are things Miranda does that I don't agree with, but-
Christian Come on. You hate her. Just admit it to me.
Andy No.
Christian She's a- She's a notorious sadist... and not- not in a good way.
Andy Okay, she's tough, but if Miranda were a man... no one would notice anything about her, except how great she is at her job.
Christian I'm sorry. I can't- I can't believe this. You're defending her?
Andy Yeah.
Christian The wide-eyed girl peddling her earnest newspaper stories? You, my friend, are crossing over to the dark side.
Andy I resent that.
Christian You shouldn't. It's sexy.
Andy Sexy? Really?
Christian Really.
[SCENE #47]
Andy So do you-do you know where we're going? 'Cause I'm lost.
Christian Yeah. Yeah, don't worry. I know this city like the back of my hand. It's my favorite place in the whole world. You know, Gertrude Stein once said... "America is my country, and Paris is my hometown." It's true.
Andy What do you do? Do you just write stuff like that down... and then file it away to use on us girls?
Christian I'm Christian Thompson. That's my way.
Andy That's your way. Right.
Christian I work freelance. I have a lot of free time on my hands.
Andy You know, I never understood... why everyone was so crazy about Paris... but... it is so beautiful. Mm. L-I can't. I'm sorry. I can't. You know, Nate and I just split up a couple days ago, and I can't. Ooh. I've had too much wine. And my hearing-vision-judgment's impaired. No, I barely know you. I'm in a strange city. I... am out of excuses.
Christian Thank God.
[SCENE #48]
Andy Yes. Oh, shoot.
Christian Bonjour, madame.
Andy Uh, what the hell is this?
Christian What does it look like? It's a mock-up.
Andy Yeah. Of?
Christian Of what American Runway will look like when Jacqueline Follet is the new editor in chief.
Andy Wh-They're replacing Miranda?
Christian Yeah. And she's bringing me in to run all the editorial content. You're really surprised? Jacqueline's a lot younger than Miranda. She has a fresher take on things. Not to mention American Runway's one of the most expensive books in the business. Jacqueline does the same thing for a lot less money. And Irv- Irv's a businessman, you know.
Andy Miranda will be devastated. Her whole life is about Runway. He can't do that to her.
Christian It's done. Irv's gonna tell Miranda after the party for James.
Andy And she has no idea?
Christian She's a big girl. She'll be fine.
Andy Shi- I have to go.
Christian Andy. Andy, it's done. Baby, it's done.
Andy I'm not your baby.
[SCENE #49]
Miranda Allo.
Andy Oh! Oh! Thank God you're there.
Miranda Excuse me?
Andy I need to talk to you right away. It's about Jacqueline Follet. Shit! Oh, shit! Shit, shit, shit!
Mr. Ravitz Yes.
Andy Mr. Ravitz, I'm so sorry to bother you. I was wondering-
Miranda Have you completely lost your mind?
Andy I need to talk to you.
Miranda Do not disturb me again.
Andy But, um, it's just for one- Miranda!
[SCENE #50]
Andy Miranda. Miranda. Wait, I need to talk to you. Irv is making Jacqueline Follet the editor in chief of Runway. Christian Thompson told me he's gonna work for her. Irv is going to tell you today. I thought maybe if I told you, that you could fix it.
Miranda Do I smell freesias?
Andy What? No.-I specifically told them-
Miranda If I see freesias anywhere... I will be very disappointed.
Nigel For 72 years, Runway has been more than a magazine. It has been a beacon of elegance and grace. Miranda Priestly is the finest possible guardian of that beacon... setting a standard that inspires people across the globe. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Miranda Priestly.
Miranda Thank you, my dear friend. Bon jour. Thank you very much for coming today... to help celebrate our dear friend, James Holt. But before I talk to you about James... and his many accomplishments... I would like first to share some news with you. Um, as many of you know... uh, recently Massimo Corteleoni... has agreed to finance the expansion of the James Holt label... transforming the work of this visionary artist... into a global brand, which is really an exciting enterprise. Runway and James Holt share many things in common... chief among them, a commitment to excellence. And so, it should come as no surprise that when the time came... for James to choose the new president of James Holt International... he chose from within the Runway family. And it's my great happiness today... to announce to you all that that person... is my friend and longtime esteemed colleague... Jacqueline Follet.
Jacqueline Thank you. Merci.
Miranda And now to the main event... our celebration of James Holt. We at Runway are very proud to have been-
Nigel When the time is right, she'll pay me back.
Andy You sure about that?
Nigel No. But I hope for the best. I have to.
[SCENE #51]
Miranda You thought I didn't know. I've known what was happening for quite some time. It just took me a little while to find a suitable alternative for Jacqueline. And that James Holt job was so absurdly overpaid... that, of course, she jumped at it. So I just had to tell Irv that Jacqueline was unavailable. The truth is, there is no one that can do what I do... including her. Any of the other choices would have found that job impossible... and the magazine would have suffered. Especially because of the list. The list of designers, photographers... editors, writers, models, all of whom were found by me, nurtured by me... and have promised me they will follow me... whenever and if ever I choose to leave Runway. So he reconsidered. But I was very, very impressed... by how intently you tried to warn me. I never thought I would say this, Andrea... but I really- I see a great deal of myself in you. You can see beyond what people want and what they need... and you can choose for yourself.
Andy I don't think I'm like that. I couldn't do what you did to Nigel, Miranda. I couldn't do something like that.
Miranda Mm. You already did. To Emily.
Andy That's not what l- No, that was- that was different. I didn't have a choice.
Miranda Oh, no, you chose. You chose to get ahead. You want this life, those choices are necessary.
Andy But what if this isn't what I want? I mean, what if I don't wanna live the way you live?
Miranda Don't be ridiculous, Andrea. Everybody wants this. Everybody wants to be us.
[SCENE #52]
Nate I have to be at work in 20 minutes. What's up?
Andy Well, I just- I wanted to say that you were right about everything. That... I turned my back on my friends and my family... and everything I believed in... and- and for what?
Nate For shoes and shirts and jackets and belts.
Andy Nate. I'm sorry.
Nate I flew up to Boston while you were gone. I interviewed at the Oak Room.
Andy And?
Nate And you're looking at their new sous-chef. I'm moving up there in a couple weeks.
Andy That's great. Congratulations. I don't know what I'm gonna do without those late-night grilled cheeses, but-
Nate I'm pretty sure they have bread in Boston. May even have Jarlsberg. We might be able to figure something out.
Andy You think?
Nate Yeah. So, what about you? I mean, what are you gonna do now?
Andy Actually, I, uh-I have a job interview today.
Nate Oh, yeah?
Andy Mm-hmm.
Nate That's what you're wearing?
Andy Shut up. I like this.
[SCENE #53]
Greg Andy, Greg Hill.
Andy Hello.
Greg Come on. These clips are excellent. This thing on the janitors' union, that's exactly what we do here. My only question is, Runway? My only question is, Runway? You were there for less than a year. What the hell kind of a blip is that?
Andy Learned a lot. In the end though,I kind of screwed it up.
Greg I called over there for a reference, left word with some snooty girl. Next thing you know, I got a fax from Miranda Priestly herself... saying that of all the assistants she's ever had... you were, by far, her biggest disappointment. And, if I don't hire you, I am an idiot. You must have done something right.
[SCENE #54]
Andy Miranda Priestly's office. Hey, Emily, it's Andy. Don't hang up.I have a favor to ask you.
Emily You have a favor to ask of me?
Andy Yeah. The thing is, I have all these clothes from Paris... and I don't have anyplace to wear them... so I was wondering if you could take them off my hands.
Emily Well, I don't know. It's a huge imposition. And I'll have to get them taken in. I mean, they'll drown me. But I suppose I could help you out. I will have Roy pick them up this afternoon.
Andy Thanks, Em. I appreciate it. Good luck.
Emily You have some very large shoes to fill. I hope you know that.
Miranda I don't understand why it is so challenging... to get my car when I ask for it. Go.
