《The Devil Wears Prada》----  (Part 5)

 

 

   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.

 

But we're not expected until Tuesday. Did she say why?

 

Yes. Yeah, she explained every detail of her decision making.

 

And then we brushed each other's hair and gabbed about American Idol.

 

I see your point.

 

-[Andy] what's a preview anyway? -Good morning, Miranda.

 

[Nigel] Miranda insists upon seeing all the designers'collections…

 

before they show them.

 

-Great to see you. -Hello, James.

 

-[Andy] And she tells them what she thinks? -[Nigel] In her way.

 

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.

 

An obi belt.

 

[Nigel] She doesn't like it, she shakes her head.

 

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.

 

[Whispers] Just, uh… Just go.

 

-I just don't understand. I'm appalled. -It's absurd. Appalled.

 

-You deal with it. -I'll talk to him.

 

So because she pursed her lips, he's gonna change his entire collection?

 

You still don't get it, do you?

 

Her opinion is the only one that matters.

 

-Call my husband and confirm dinner. -At Pastis? Done.

 

And I'll need a change of clothes.

 

Well, I've already messengered your outfit over to the shoot.

 

Fine. And, Andrea, I would like you to deliver the Book to my home tonight.

 

-Have Emily give you the key. -Mm-hmm.

 

-Guard this with your life. -Of course.

 

You know, if I can deliver the Book, 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?

 

Yeah, whoopee. Right.

 

Now, it's very important that you do exactly what I'm about to tell you.

 

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 townouse.

 

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? -Uh-huh.

 

You open the door and you walk across the foyer.

 

You hang the dry cleaning in the closet across from the staircase.

 

-Uh… -And you leave the Book on the table with the flowers.

 

[Panting]

 

-Shit! -[Girl] It's that door to the left.

 

Okay.

 

[Whispers] Thank you.

 

-You can give the Book to us. -Shh. Which… Which table?

 

-It's okay. Come on up. -No, I can't. I can't.

 

-What? It's okay. -Come on.

 

-Yeah, come on. It's okay. -Please stop talking.

 

Or you can bring the Book upstairs. Emily does it all the time.

 

She does? Right. She does, all the time.

 

Yeah? Okay.

 

[Giggling]

 

[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.

 

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.

 

-Okay, okay! Okay, okay. -Oh, no. Shh!

 

It really wasrt 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… -You went upstairs?

 

Oh, my God. Why didn't you just climb into bed with her and ask for a bedtime story?

 

Okay, I made a mistake. I know.

 

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.

 

She's gonna fire me?

 

I don't know. She's not happy.

 

[Miranda] Andrea?

 

[Snaps Fingers]

 

Miranda, about last night, I…

 

I need the new Harry Potter book for the twins.

 

Okay. Okay. I'll go down to Barnes & Noble right now.

 

Did you fall down and smack your little head on the pavement?

 

Not that I can recall.

 

We have all the published Harry Potter books. The twins want to know what happens next.

 

You want the unpublished manuscript?

 

We know everyone in publishing. It shouldn't be a problem, should it?

 

And you can do anything, right?

 

[Cell Phone Rings]

 

Yes, Bobbsey. I know, baby.

 

Mommy's working very hard to get it for you.

 

She doesn't get it.

 

I could call frickirJ.K. Rowling herself. I'm not gonna get a copy of that book.

 

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.

 

-Of course! -And I would like my steak here in 15 minutes.

 

No problem! [Panting]

 

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! -No. Shart.

 

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. [Laughing]

 

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.

 

You probably don't remember me. We met atJames Holt's party.

 

I'm Miranda Priestly's assistant.

 

The Harry Potter manuscript?Oh, you're kidding.

 

Uh, sorry to ask, but I'm desperate.

 

Just tell her it can't be done. You'll have to come up with a Plan "B."

 

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?

 

I rarely say this to people who aren't me…

 

but you have got to calm down.

 

Bloody hell!

 

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.

 

[Phone Rings]

 

Hello.

 

Quit? Are you sure?

 

I failed. She's gonna fire me anyway.

 

-I might as well beat her to the punch. -Wow.

 

Andy, good for you. Congratulations. You're free.

 

-Yeah. Well, listen, I'll call you later. -Okay.

 

-[Line Clicks, Phone Rings] -Hello.

 

I'm brilliant. No, really.

 

-Monuments should be erected in my honor. -You didn't.

 

Oh, yes. A friend of a friend does the cover art…

 

and she happens to have the manuscript.

 

Oh, no, 'cause that would mean that I actually did something right.

 

[Chuckles] It's just… Oh!

 

The thing is, Christian, I was just…

 

Look, you want this thing, you better hurry. I'll meet you at the St. Regis.

 

-Excuse me. -[Horn Honks]

 

-Welcome to the St. Regis. May I assist you with anything? -Oh. Yes.

 

-Uh, I'm meeting someone at the King Cole Bar. -Right this way.

 

Hi.

 

-You have one hour. -Thank you.

 

One copy. What are my twins gonna do with that? Share?

 

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.

 

Well, where are these fabulous copies?I don't see them anywhere.

 

[Whistle Blows]

 

[Andy] They're with the twins, on the train on the way to Grandma's.

 

Is there anything else I can do for you?

 

Mm-mmm. That's all.

 

Okay.
