《The Devil Wears Prada》----  (Part 8)

   [Knocking] 

Nigel:Hi. I need Miranda's itinerary for tomorrow.

Andy:Okay. Come on in. -All right? Thanks. 

Nigel:Who put that together for you? -This? 

Andy:Oh, it's just… it's just something I threw on. 

Nigel:Turn around. Let me see. Turn.

Nigel:Mm. Incroyable.

Andy:Yeah?

Andy:It's really just… No, it's… No, gorgeous.

Nigel: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. [Guffaws]

Andy:Four.

Nigel:Really?

Andy:[Glasses Clink] Cheers.

Nigel:Cheers to you.

Andy:To us.

Nigel:Let me see that. -[Giggles]

 

[Woman Singing In French]

Andy:Okay, I just wanna say that yes, there are things Miranda does that I don't agree with, but… 

-Come on. You hate her. Just admit it to me.

Andy:No.She's a… She's a notorious sadist…and not… not in a good way.

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. 

[Chuckles] I'm sorry. I can't…

-I can't believe this. You're defending her? -Yeah.

The wide-eyed girl peddling her earnest newspaper stories? 

You, my friend, are crossing over to the dark side.

I resent that. 

-You shouldn't. It's sexy. -Sexy? 

-Really? -Really. 

So do you… do you know where we're going? 

-'Cause I'm lost.

-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." 

-[Laughs] -It's true.

What do you do? 

Do you just write stuff like that down… 

and then file it away to use on us girls? 

-I'm Christian Thompson. That's my way. -That's your way. Right. 

I work freelance. I have a lot of free time on my hands.

You know, I never understood… 

why everyone was so crazy about Paris… 

but… it is so beautiful. 

[Giggles] 

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. 

Thank God. 

[Groans] 

[Gasps]

Yes.

Oh, shoot. 

[Door Opens] 

Bonjour, madame. 

Uh, what the hell is this? 

What does it look like?It's a mock-up.

Yeah. Of? 

Of what American Runway will look like when Jacqueline Follet is the new editor in chief. 

Wh… They're replacing Miranda? 

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. 

Miranda will be devastated. Her whole life is about Runway. He can't do that to her.

It's done. Irv's gonna tell Miranda after the party forJames. 

And she has no idea? 

She's a big girl. She'll be fine. 

Shi… I have to go. 

Andy.

Andy, it's done. 

Baby, it's done. 

I'm not your baby. 

-[Phone Ringing] -Allo. 

Oh! Oh! Thank God you're there.

 

-[Sighs] Excuse me? -I need to talk to you right away. 

It's about Jacqueline Follet.

Shit! Oh, shit! Shit, shit, shit! 

-Yes. -Mr. Ravitz, I'm so sorry to bother you. I was wondering…

Have you completely lost your mind?

Andy:I need to talk to you. -Do not disturb me again.

But, um, it's just for one… Miranda!

 

[Horn Honks]

 

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.

 

Do I smell freesias?

 

What? No. L-I specifically told them…

 

If I see freesias anywhere…

 

I will be very disappointed.

 

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.

 

Thank you, my dear friend.

 

Bonjour. [Chuckles]

 

Thank you very much for coming today…

 

to help celebrate our dear friend, James Holt.

 

But before I talk to you aboutJames…

 

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 theJames 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…

 

forJames to choose the new president ofJames 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.

 

Thank you. Merci.

 

And now to the main event…

 

our celebration ofJames Holt.

 

We at Runway are very proud to have been…

 

When the time is right, she'll pay me back.

 

You sure about that?

 

No.

 

But I hope for the best.

 

I have to.

 

[Clamoring]

 

Andy: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 Holtjob 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.[Sighs] 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.[Chuckles]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. 

Andy:L… 

Andy:I couldn't do what you did to Nigel, Miranda.I couldn't do something like that.

Mm. You already did.To Emily.

Andy:That's not what I…No, that was… that was different. I didn't have a choice.

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.

 

[Clamoring] 

[Woman Vocalizing] 

[Vocalizing Continues]

[Cell Phone Ringing] 

[Vocalizing Continues] 

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.

Nate:I'm sorry.

Andy:L… [Clears Throat]

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 haveJarlsberg.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.

 

[At the interviewing office]

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.

Greg:In the end though, I kind of screwed it up.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.

 

[At the office building] 

[Beeping]

[Phone Ringing]

Emily:Miranda Priestly's office.

Andy: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.

 

[Outside the office building]

Miranda:I don't understand why it is so challenging to get my car when I ask for it.

Andy:[Chuckles]

Miranda:[to her deiver] Go.
