This is the second half of The Devil Wears Prada. If you haven't seen the first half, just a quick recap. A young sort of naive but very smart and capable journalist named Andy looking for a journalism job, but what's available is an assistant job with a fashion magazine. So, not much journalism there. she manages to get the job. Um, impresses men Miranda Priestley with just um her character and finds out real quick that Miranda is a really tough boss to work for, very demanding. Um, and Andy is trying to juggle her new job along with her own social life. And um, as she becomes better and better her job, she kind of gets worse and worse with her social life because they all think she's kind of sold out her soul to working for this cutthroat magazine. Um, and we left off

um with Andy being um just having been promoted to the job of handling the book, which is uh where Miranda Priestley, the editor of the magazine, um does all the proof reading and stuff before it goes to press. And that's usually the uh second assistant's job, but she had to earn it. So, that's about where we're going to pick up. And then we'll see um what's going on with that next. So, I'm going to go share our screen here. And here we go. And let me know if that's Oops. That's an okay size. That work for folks. Okay. So, we just left off with um Emily telling Andy that it's very important she does exactly what she tells her to do. All right. Um, we're going to pick up with actions inscriptions. And that looks like neat.

Uh, interior runway night. We hear Emily's voice over as we see this happening. You wait at the office until all the department heads have submitted their pages and the book is assembled. We see Andy waiting. The area around Miranda's office is totally quiet. Interior Miranda's office night. Andy drifts in and looks at Miranda's office. the pictures of her with everyone from Desmond Tutu to Paris Hilton. Then Andy walks over to Miranda's pristine white couch, sits on it. Hell, why not? Lies down on it gingerly. Then books ready.

And she jumps off the couch like she's been caught naked. Interior runway night. An editorial assistant brings Andy the book. It's heavy. Then you take Miranda's dry clothing or dry cleaning from the closet. We see Andy do this about a dozen garments on hangers. Exterior Elias Clark night. Andy walks out trying to juggle the book and the dry cleaning. A car will be waiting for you. Roy opens the door for Andy. Interior town car night. Andy whisks across town. It's late. Streets are quiet. Exterior Central Park West night.

and he swings down the street feeling pretty confident. When you get to the apartment, the doorman will leave will have your name and he'll get let you up. Interior Miranda's lobby night. De Barisford, a white glove co-op building on 81st in Central Park West. The door man directs Andy into the elevator. All you have to do is open the door, step to the foyer, hang the clothes on the hook, and leave the book on the table. Interior elevator night. The elevator man lets Andy aboard, presses the button for the penthouse. The important thing is just do those two things and leave.

Don't talk to anyone. Don't look at anyone. Miranda does not want you to disturb her evening in any way. Flashback to interior runway day. Andy looks at Emily. You sure you got all that? Of course. Book, dry cleaning hook. A monkey could do that. She smiles. Flash forward again to the interior elevator night. Andy waits. The book and the dry cleaning are heavy. She tries to adjust the weight. Interior hallway night. Andy steps into the hallway dimly lit with high ceilings and huge moldings. Miranda's door is at the end of the hall and for some reason Andy finds her heart is racing. She opens the door. Interior Miranda's foyer night. In contrast to the blinding brightness of Miranda's office, her apartment is dark, shadowy, and the ceilings are ridiculously tall.

Andy steps inside, her footsteps echoing through the foyer. Dry cleaning on the hook. She looks up, sees a hook, and is about to hang it when she sees another hook. Or is that a sconce? She scans a hull. Wait, no, that's the hook. No. Is that a gargoyle? She picks the one that most looks like a hook. Hangs a dry cleaning. So far, no disasters. And she lets out a breath of relief. Book on the table. And you guessed it, there are two tables. Shoot. Suddenly, she hears a noise. It's a girl of about eight walking into the foyer. One of Miranda's daughters, Casey, carrying a violin and a bow. Andy freezes. At first, Cassid's face is blank, but then Andy smiles, so Cassidy smiles.

Hi. Hi. And Cassidy points to one of the tables using her bow. Oh my gosh, thank you. Cassidy smiles, the briefest of moments between them. And then suddenly, they hear voices. Miranda and her husband Steven are in the living room, a sliver of which is visible from the foyer. Their voices are low, but we can hear. What did you want me to do? Walk out in the middle of a photo shoot? I sat there for almost an hour. We were in a loft near the seapport. My phone didn't work. I told you. And I know what everyone in the restaurant was thinking. There he is waiting for her again. And as he says this, he stops, curious. There in the hall is Andy, frozen with Cassidy smiling at her. And before Andy can stop herself, her eyes float over to Steven's. Eye contact. Her heart does a flip and her eyes dart over to Miranda and they make eye contact as well. And Miranda gives Andy a look of utter coldness, disgust, and judgment. Harsher

than any look Andy has gotten in the office. Interior elevator night. Andy gets in, heart pounding. Interior Nate's apartment night. Andy crawls in a bed next to Nate. He takes her arm and wraps it around himself. You're shaking. I'm I'm okay. But she's unable to relax or even to close her eyes. In tear runway day, Andy walks in already bracing herself and runs into Emily, emerging from Miranda's office, very upset. Okay, before you start freaking out, it wasn't such a big deal. Cassidy said hello. I said hello back. And then I glanced into the living room. You glanced? Why were you glancing? Who said anything about glancing?

You're right. I made a mistake. I I don't know what I was thinking. It was so stupid. You can't do things like this to me. If she fires you, that'll jeopardize Paris for me. She's going to fire me? I don't know. She's not happy. and they hear Miranda's voice ringing out from the office. Andrea. Andy and Emily exchange a look. Oh boy. Interior Miranda's office day. Andy walks in apprehensive. I'm really, really sorry, Miranda. I was nervous. And I I need the new Harry Potter book for the twins. Um, great. I'll just run down to the bookstore. And did you fall and smack your head on the pavement?

Not that I recall. We have all the books. The girls want to know what happens next. I heard the manuscript just came in and the girls need something to read on the train to their grandmothers. Fine, no problem. Oh, and one more thing. There will be no more second chances. Into your runway later. Andy paces panicky. Emily watches her. I see. So, the publisher is in London. Can you give me that number? It's for Miranda Priestley. What is it for? We're doing a layout on um sorcery inspired fashion. Yes, I understand. Thank you.

There's no way I can get that book by early afternoon. She's after me, Emily. She must have fired me. She's just prolonging the kill like an evil cat with tiny little unfashionable mouse. Aubrey, look, you're getting paranoid. Yay. It's not just me. And then they hear Andrea in Tier Miranda's office day. Andy walks in. I'd like my steak. Myth and Winskies doesn't open until 11:45. Maybe we should call Cassidy and ask her to take care of it since she did your job for you last night. She smiles. The scary smile. Exterior Smith and Winsky's day. Auntie flies into the frame and wraps in the door of the closed restaurant. Marty, the manager, walks over, recognizes her. He unlocks the door, letting her in. Interior, Smith and Winsky's day. From the bar, Andy watches the steak sizzle, pacing nervously. Andy's cell phone rings and she grabs it.

Anything? Can you try again? I would really appreciate any leads at all. Thanks. She hangs up. Marty looks at her. An amazing job working for someone like me obviously. It is amazing. Lots of fun and filled with interesting challenges. And out of the window, something catches Andy's eye. We see what Andy's looking at. News stand right outside the restaurant. The current issue of The New Yorker is featured out front, and Andy sees the by line. Christian Harper interior Christian's apartment day. very chic, very masculine apartment in the village. Christian is writing at a laptop when his phone rings. We intercut between him and Andy on the street.

You're kidding, right? No one could get that book. They guard that thing like Fort Knox. I thought of you. I thought you knew everyone. Can't you think of something? It's impossible. Just tell her can be done. Miranda girl, have you met Miranda? I'm sorry. That's okay. Thanks. Anyway, into your runway day, Andy runs down the hall with Miranda's food and she passes Emily. Is she back? Am I fired? You know, I rarely say this to people who aren't me, but you need to calm down. Andy ignores her, racing around getting the dishes and silverware from Miranda. Why not?

Interior Miranda's office day. We see the steak prettily arranged on Miranda's china and he sets up the salt and pepper. Miranda walks in. When Miranda sees the steak, she freezes. What is that doing here? I ordered this hours ago. Andy looks confused. Ours. Luckily, before I starved to death, V invited me to lunch. I will be back at exactly 2:15. I want my order from Starbucks to be here. She gestures to the stake. Get rid of that. And before she exits, if you don't have the Harry Potter by then, don't bother coming back. Interior kitchen day. Andy carries a tray with all the food on it into the kitchen. A beat. She looks down at the tray and suppresses an urge to throw the whole thing at the wall. Instead, she positions a tray over the garbage and tilts it, letting everything, steak, china, silverware, fall into the can.

Interior Starbucks day. Andy is on the cell phone. She watches Miranda's coffee being made. Come on, please. You must know someone. Can you make it extra hot? Like center of the sun hot? The bria gives her a look. Sorry, my boss is particular. Are you sure? You're my last shot. All right. Well, thanks for trying. She hangs up. The briea hands her the coffee. Sounds like a great job you have there. Actually, it is. It's a fantastic job. Million girls would kill for it. And she starts to laugh. The girl stares at her.

Exterior Starbucks day. Andy walks out of the Starbucks with the order on a tray. Andy stands there a moment. People bustle around her as she finds herself at a literal crossroads. She looks up at the building. Suddenly, she stops a passerby who looks at her curious. Yeah, lady. Want a mocha? And Andy starts passing out the stuff from Starbucks to people on the street. Interior kitchen day. Nate on the phone. Intercut with him and Andy on the street. Will, are you sure? I failed. She's going to fire me anyway. Might as well beat her to the punch.

I failed. She's going to fire me anyway. Sorry sir. Holy Well, good for you. Congratulations. You're free. Andy smiles, hangs up, and immediately her phone rings again. She looks down, assuming it's Nate. Hello. I'm brilliant. Really? Monuments should be erected in my honor. We intercut between Andy on the street and Christian in his office. You didn't. Oh, yes. No, that would mean I actually did something right. Well, a friend of a friend is doing the cover art. You could meet her at the office this afternoon and make a copy. Andy just stands there stunned. Hello, Andy.

What's wrong? The thing is, see, I was about to Don't tell me you don't want the book now. I had to make love to a woman the size of a filing cabinet to get it. And we see Andy. She looks up at the Lias Clark building, teetering on a precipice. Do you want this or not? On Andy, breathless. Exterior street day. Andy runs down the street. Exterior street day. Andy runs out of an apartment building holding a large envelope. Exterior street day. Andy stands outside of Kinko's and she's on the phone. I'm begging you. You have to stall her.

Just 10 minutes. Interior town car day. We see Roy driving Miranda and V back from lunch. He hangs up the cell phone and then he turns down a side street. Miranda catches his eye in the mirror. What the hell? Um, too much traffic on the pipins in town. Miranda makes an annoyed face. Insert the tray with Miranda's Starbucks on it. We follow it down the hall and seeing it being set on Miranda's desk. Beside it lands, boom, an envelope. Widen out to see Miranda looking at the envelope. And then we see Andy. She stands there quiet, calm. And if Miranda's amazed at what Andy did, she doesn't show it. She opens the envelope, looks in one copy.

What are my twins supposed to do with supposed to do with that? Share. Actually, I made two copies and had them colorcopied, reset, and bound so they wouldn't look like manuscripts. She smiles. We're under nods, but still won't concede the point. And where exactly are these fabulous coffees? I don't see them anywhere. Quick cut to interior train the metro north from New York City to Bedford. In the front row, we see two matching pairs of tree torns, seven jeans, pink isods, and Hello Kitty barretes, and two matching Harry Potter manuscripts. every bit as professional looking as Andy described them. Being eagerly devoured by Cassidy and Caroline on their way to their grandmothers, a nanny sits beside them. Cut back to interior office day.

Andy picks up the envelope. This is just an extra copy to keep on file just in case. She smiles. Her faith in herself is restored. Anything else I can do for you? And we cut to Vicki next for actions and inscriptions. Interior 50 carmine night. For the first time, Andy is early to meet Nate, sitting in the corner of an Italian restaurant when he enters. Hey, you look pretty. Relax after the day you you just had. Nate, I have news. You do? So do I. I sent a bunch of letters to West in San Fran. All my favorites figuring what the hell got nothing to lose and lose. He shows her a letter. I have an interview at kiss pie.

Can you believe it? Oh my gosh, that's amazing. The timing is perfect. You just quit your job so we can go out together. If you like California, Andy, there's a lot of great jobs that don't involve working for psychopaths. He looks at her. What's your news? On her smile, trying to figure out how to break this to him. Interior runway day. Andy picks up the phone. Miranda Priestley's office. She's multitasking as she did before. answering the phones, stuffing envelopes, sorting an accessory pile. But we can see she's starting to get it down.

Oh, hi. Interior gallery day. We see Millie at work in a small office at the back of a gallery in Chelsea. The reservations are under Barnes. Got it. I've been working so hard and he's not that psyched about it. So, I just want to make sure his birthday's fun. Interior runway day. Andy on the phone. The phone rings. Bye, Lily. Thanks. Miranda Priestley's office. Andy's interrupted by the loud sound of someone having a coughing fit. I'll tell her you called. Thanks. Andy looks over to where Emily is sitting at her desk blowing her nose.

Emily checks her face in her pocket mirror. Horrible. Are you okay? I don't have the time to not be okay. Going to that benefit tonight. If I have to live if I live that long. Just then, they hear Miranda's voice. Andrea Emily interior Miranda's office day. Andy and Emily walk in together. I just want to make sure before the benefit that you are both fully prepped on the guest list. Andy and Emily exchange a look. Actually, I wasn't planning on going to the benefit. I thought only the first assistant went. Only when the first assistant isn't revoltingly ill, you'll come and help Emily. On Emily and Andy's surprised faces.

Interior runway day. Emily dumps something on Andy's lap. A book of what looks like mug shots. Emily starts flipping through, pointing out people. It is clear Emily is a little miffed. I don't see why she needs both of us. She promptly dissolves into a coffee pit for about 20 seconds.

Don't look at me. It's Nate's birthday tonight. This is the last thing I want to do. That's the president of the night. Andy keeps flipping through. I need to learn all these people by tonight. Don't be silly. She pulls out another big book of head shot. You'll have to learn these two. And just then, Nigel bursts into, "What are you doing in here?" Andy looks up at him. Good God, we don't have a moment to lose. Exterior street day. Nigel trots down the street with Andy and tow. Black tie, the highest level possible in grooming and fashion. Oh, few if any can pull it off. Hair and makeup will meet us there.

And Harry Winston is sending over a few bobbles to choose from. Interior showroom studio day. We're in Oscar Darenta's capacious showroom studio. A large logo that reads Oscar Dorenta is overhead. Sales reps bring out dress after dress on a rack. We see Andy overwhelmed. Suddenly, Oscar himself appears. He and Nigel exchange air kisses. Nigel, what can we do for you? We have an emergency red carpet situation. He gestures to Andy. Thing is, she's a six. We see the stunned looks on everyone's faces as if he said she had an extra arm.

I'll see what we can do. Interior studio later. We see Andy from behind as the makeup artist applies the finishing touches. Nigel selects a necklace from an assortment of necklaces. He drapes it around Andy's neck. Nigel studies his creation proud. his size. How do you feel? Well, let's see. Exterior street night. We see a limousine gliding through the streets. My feet are killing me. Everything pinches. Exterior Metropolitan Museum of Art night. The Met all lit in a buzz for a gala charity benefit. A banner across the front of the museum reads, "Runway presents the Costume Institute in black and white." A red carpet crammed with celebrities and photographers leads into the museum.

My breasts are squeezed into a ball, and his hairpiece is like having a boulder pinned to my head. And suddenly the door opens and Andy steps out onto the red carpet and she looks unbelievable. Gorgeous. Perfect. Never felt better. She takes a moment, then ducks around the red carpet, trotting up the stairs behind the line of photographers. And just then, Emily spots her. Oh my god, Andy, you look chic. But Andy is busy staring at Emily in her strapless dress. M, you look so thin. It's for Paris. I'm on a new diet. I don't eat anything. And then when I feel like I'm about to faint, I eat a cube of cheese.

It's definitely working. I know. I'm just one stomach flu away from my goal weight. That's great. Congrats. Emily smiles proudly, then dissolves into another round of bone rattling calls. Ready? Interior Metropolitan Museum of Art Night. Andy and Emily enter. The scene takes Andy's breath away. The lobby is packed with New York's elite. Everything in sight is white. White tulips, bone white china, white candles, white tablecloths, and chair covered in white silk. All the guests are in black or white. Emily looks around. Everything has to go perfectly tonight or she'll have my head. You have no idea how many assistants she's fired right before they were supposed to go to Perry. It can't happen to me.

We'll just make sure everything goes smoothly. Then we need to make sure we're there the second she walks in. How will we find her? Just then, an audible murmur makes its way through the crowd. They along with everyone swivel their heads in time to see a woman making an entrance into the party wearing a spectacular red dress. It's Miranda, of course. A ruby in a sea of monochrome.

The crimson James Holt. She's a genius. It's the awkward red dress James had in his studio. Made over to perfection. Emily and Andy rush over to to Miranda. Quick cuts at the ball. Andy and Emily stand at Miranda's side as she feels greetings. A distinguished couple approaches. Emily. Emily racks her brain which goes blank. She starts to panic. That's Wait. Seeing Emily struggle, Andy leans in to Miranda. Ambassador Franklin. And that's the woman he left his wife for, Rebecca. The woman he's leaving her for is walking down the stairs in Valentino.

Miranda greets the couple. Ambassador Rebecca, lovely to see you. Emily gets Andy's attention and mouse. Thank you. Just then, Andy sees a very fashionable woman with a more avantgard look than Miranda headed for them. And she's being escorted by none other than V. Emily whispers to Andy. That's Jacqueline Fier from French Runway. I thought Miranda wanted her to come after she left. She did. Jacqueline put her in the worst mode. Jacqueline and Irv head straight for Miranda. Good to see you, V. Miranda, you look amazing. Then Miranda turns to Jacqueline. They kiss the air behind each other's ears, pretending to be happy to see each other.

man's shet. I like your just too very American. Esportif. Miranda smiles, but looks like she's rather throw darts at Jacqueline. Andy quickly steps forward. Laura Jacqueline Brad Pit. Uh, no. She pulls Jacqueline across the room. Later, Andy and Emily are with Miranda, who is talking to Elden John. Suddenly, they're surprised by the appearance of Miranda's husband, Stefan, quite drunk. Darling, there you are. It's a bunning. It's a banner evening. Three people have failed to recognize me. One person called me Mr. Fisely. And now the damn the damned bartender refused to serve me. Everyone freezes.

Miranda forces a laugh. Emily emits a cough of shock, but Andy quickly turns to Elton, distracting him. I'm sorry to be such an idiot, but I think you're so awesome. I can sing along to like 50 of your songs. I think Crocodile Rock is my favorite, but I also love Tiny Dancer. And while she chats with him, Miranda puts her arm around her husband and leads him gently away. Come on, darling. Let's get something to eat. I'm starved, aren't you? And as she walks away, Miranda turns and looks at Andy. And Miranda mows the words, "Thank you."

Andy and Emily's eyes both go wide. "Holy shit." Exterior museum night. Andy trots down the steps, exhilarated. Checks her watch, looks up, and sees Christian walking up the steps looking better than anyone ever should in a tuxedo. He smiles and clutches his heart like he's been shot by Cupid. You look amazing. And I take it you still work for Miranda. I am, thanks to you. And I'm doing great now. Oh, is that right? Sure is. Guess I'm not as nice as you thought. Oh god, I hope not. He openly admires her in a way that makes it clear he's imagining her with the dress off.

If you don't have that stupid boyfriend, I'd have to whisk you away right here and now. Do you really say things like that to people? Evidently, I have to go. Say hello to the boyfriend for me. She tries to bite back in an incriminating smile, turns and races towards her limo. Interior town car night. Andy is putting the finishing touches on wrapping a present.

And this is where Annie starts to have a bad feeling.

Yes, of course you do. And you're coming with me to Paris, Andrea. Oh, no. No, no, you don't mean that. Emily would die. Her whole life is about Paris. She hasn't eaten in weeks. It's not for you to tell me what I can and cannot do. You are coming with me to Paris. With all due respect, I can't do that, Miranda. I just can't. I've only been at runway for 5 months. Miranda shrugs. Fine. Then you're fired. Excuse me? If you don't come to Paris, I will assume you're not serious about your job, and I would have no choice but to fire you." And he looks at her stunned.

You said it was your dream job. He turns to her emotion on his face now. She's given me everything I have, Andy. When it's time, she'll pay me back. You're sure about that? No, but I hope for the best. Andy rejoins the swirl, and Andy sees Christian having a drink, trying to cover her. Andy walks over to him. Don't feel bad, Christian. Most people eventually wash up on the rocky shores of Miranda Priestley. Right. So I've heard. He looks at her. Her gaze back is level. So over the sky. Better luck next time, Andy.

I She turns away from him. Runs right into Miranda. I'm ready to go, too. And Andy walks away without looking at Christian. Interior limo night. Miranda and Andy ride along in the limo on their way back to Perry. Miranda's relaxed, victorious. You knew what they were planning. Andy nods. Christian had to brag about it. So predictable. And you thought I didn't know. Andy nods. Miranda laughs. You think that's the first time I had to defend myself? There's always someone gunning for this job. She smiles. I was impressed though.

how hard you tried to warn me and that whatever you thought was happening, you just kept on doing your job. She studies Andy. I never thought I would say this, but I see a lot of myself in you. Your sharpness, your focus, your ability to see a move or two ahead. above all your dedication. Thank you, Miranda. Your father was ill and yet you chose to stay and help me and help Rome. That's very admirable. Andy looks at her stunned that she knows. Nigel told me it was the right choice. Exactly what I would have done when I was your age. Miranda looks out the window. They're approaching the next party and the paparazzi are waiting outside as the fabulous people stone into a Perry nightclub.

Not everyone can do that. Push their feelings aside. And now she's speaking as much to herself as to Andy. The more powerful you get, the more you'll be judged and scrutinized on display. You'll miss things. Vacations, sunsets, moments with your family. Some people in your life will never accept your priorities. Not everyone can withstand that pressure Andy. But now you know that you can. Andy stares at her, blown away by what Miranda is saying. And so now you know. And so now you know that you can have my life. You can do what I do because you can sacrifice the things that need to be sacrificed.

But what if I can't do that? I mean, what if that's not what I want? Miranda looks at her and smiles. And this time, for the first time, she her smile is almost maternal. Don't be silly, Andy. Of course, that's what you want. Everyone wants to be me. And with that, she opens the door to the limo and onto the red carpet, where she's immediately embraced by the flashing lights of the cameras. Andy quickly steps out behind Miranda, squinting. She's never gotten used to the lights. Miranda moves down the red carpet. We follow her and as Santa Miranda is about to open the door that she realizes Andy is no longer besides her beside her.

Exterior shams night. We see Andy walking up the shams in the dusky light. She has never looked more beautiful. She is serene and she is free. The wind blows through her hair. She smiles. Suddenly her phone rings. She looks down at it, having forgotten it was in her hand. The name Miranda glows in the dim light. Andy doesn't break break stride for a moment as she tosses the ringing phone into the nearest fountain. Interior airplane day. Andy walks past the first class cabin down the aisle where she squeezes into a coach seat.

Exterior street day. We see Andy in her rental car driving past Three Rivers Stadium in Cincinnati. Interior house Cincinnati day. Andy stands at the door to the nice unhip Midwestern house she grew up in. The door opens. Richard, her dad. Andy flies into his arms and he holds her smiling. Exterior airport day. Andy walks out of JFK. Lily's standing outside in her beat up Honda Civic. Town cars in the shop. Shut up. They smile at each other. Interior coffee shop night. Andy waits nervously. She's wearing jeans, an old sweater.

Still, she's different. The hair, the shoes. Suddenly, Nate appears. Thanks for coming. I thought you might stand me up. I thought about it, Nate. From the minute I quit my job, all I've thought about was what I would say to you. I rehearsed it in my head a million times. how I would apologize for being such jerk, for getting carried away, thinking that what I was doing is more important than the people I care about. There's no excuse for how I treated you and how I let Miranda and my ambition take me over until I became this pod person. And now that you're here, I feel like saying all that isn't enough.

I'm just so sorry. I know you are. And I'm really happy for you. Lily told me you got the job in San Francisco. Yeah. How about that? Huh? Can't believe it. I can. Beat. They smile at each other. Okay. With each other, even friends, maybe. So, how about you? What are you going to do now? Not sure, but I actually have a job interview today. Be and that's what you're doing. He takes her It takes her a while to get this. She bursts into laughter and they both laugh. Interior waiting room day. Andy sits nervously in the waiting room of the New York Observer, the total opposite of the runway offices. Interior office day. Andy sits across from a scruffy guy in his early 40s.

You know, our pay is crap. That's fine. He looks at her resume. I love your clips. That's thing on the janitor's union. That's exactly what we do here. She smiles humble. Now my only question is one way. What the hell kind of bleep was that? Learned a lot. In the end though, I kind of screwed it up. That's not what I hear. Andy looks at him confused. I called over there for a weapon and left word with some int type girl. Next thing you know, I got a fox from a Miranda Fizzley, Andy Blanches, saying that all the assistant she had, you were by far her biggest disappointment.

Andy takes a deep breath. but that you are distined to be a gigantic snooze success and if I don't hire you I'm an idiot on Andy stunned. So you must have done something right. Exterior street day. Andy walks out of the job interview and out into the street stunned. Exterior street day. Andy walks over to the IAS Clark building, looking at a place that was in its way a home to her. Her eyes sweep up the building to the runway offices. Interior runway day. We see Emily back at her desk. The camera widens out so we can see a new second assistant, eager and nervous in the place Andy used to sit. Exterior street day. Andy looks up, thoughtful. Suddenly, she sees Miranda walk out of the building. She stops, looks over at Miranda. And Miranda looks over, her eyes meeting Andy a beat. And then Andy nods her head in thanks, in salutation and in farwell. But Miranda does not react. She gets into the taxi

into the car. Andy shakes her head. That's Miranda. She smiles and then turns and starts to walk down the street. Interior car day. Miranda gets in, sits back in her seat, and through her window she can see Andy, a bounce in her step, walking away. And Miranda alone, where no one can see her, finally breaks into a real smile. Then she nods to her driver. Exterior street day. We see Miranda's limo pulling away and Andy walking down the street, moving in different directions, further and further away as we fade out.

And that was the end. That was so good. It makes me, you know, that it really makes me want to go to Paris now. I don't even care how much money it costs. Yes. It also makes me want to table read Sabrina, like the oldfashioned one. All of us did a great job. Yeah, you guys did all so good. It's great. Yes, Christian was very fun to read, actually. It's fun. Um, yeah. I'm a little disappointed it didn't have the part where Andy told Emily she could have all the clothes and all the stuff. Oh yeah. You know, scripts get revised and maybe an older version and sometimes the day of the shooting they they decide, oh wait, maybe we should have this in there. So that makes sense. Yeah. Well, this script didn't even have shooting numbers in it, so it was definitely an earlier draft. Mhm.

So much fun. I always like seeing how they differ from what what they wrote and then what ends up actually being, you know, um shown on the screen. Yeah. It's so funny that all of them are like so disgusted that she's a size six, but I mean, you look at her and she's just like like, "Yeah, I wish I was a size six, guys. Thanks." real. It's just so funny. All right, so yeah, I mean that there's not a lot to say about this movie. It's just great for what it is. It really gives you a big like still shot of what 2004 was like.

Well, it reminds me of the Project Runway reality TV show. Oh, yeah. God bless Tim Gun. Nighty Gloom. Tim Gun is just an amazing human being. Um, just very kind, very sweet. Like I I saw a little interview thing with him and he talks about Runway and he's like, "I did not want this to be a caddyy show. I wanted everyone to feel like inspired and like for them to improve." And that was really a big thing. And producers were like, "We need to have it this way." And he was not. He's like, "Well, then I'm going to walk." And that is why you see him the way he is, how he's always so like generous and kind to all the the uh designers. That's why it's a really really different show than um than um um the next next model, America's next next American model or whatever that called. Have you read his book? No, but he it is so beautiful.

It's from his heart and he even includes his personal stories and Oh my god, you should read it. I can tell like he's just a really really beautiful human and if I ever met him happy if I ever met him I'd be freaking in the orbits but that's that's really just like with this movie and it's also you could take a look at Miranda and how like you know her whole like characterization of everything and I mean it's really interesting like I don't know there's just there is a lot there but also it's just such a great movie of like how it shows like the standards and people and like also how women are looked at and the how men are looked done the industry and all of those things. So, just a great just a great show, a great movie. It shows like she's scared to be vulnerable because then that's all people will see her as.

And it's like cuz I'm sure she's very kind but she loses her family. So, it's like her work is her family, her work is her life, cuz her real life kind of sucks cuz she loses husband after husband and her girls are growing up and it's like, "Oh my god, she feels so alone." Yeah. Anyways, uh we should probably get going, but it was wonderful seeing you guys. It was lovely seeing you, Aubrey. I will be in touch about the thing. I sent you an email. All right, everybody.
