One, two, three.

well done yes thank you alert the media oh wait that's us and now we've arrived

at the gold keyboard for the story or series that constitutes outstanding

enterprise or investigative reporting our first nominee from the new york

vanguard is andy fax for hearts of the same stories our second

nominee from the golfing center is george ali for the subway station

From the New York Metro Constitution,

Daniel Goldbaum for Fighting Fire.

It's everybody.

I know I look shocked, sad instead of shocked, happy.

And that's because I just, I and that

whole table full of talented, award -winning professionals from my paper,

Vanguard, just got fired by text.

We understand.

Journalism is changing, but it's still devastating when something like this

happens to you.

Turns out our parent company is taking a $500 million write -down,

so we're, technical term, toast.

I can't believe they just fired everyone.

At least that's a good picture of you.

I just feel so terrible for everyone at the paper.

John's wife's about to have their second baby.

Allison just bought a house.

Also, it's so unfair. The CEO of the company that owns the paper just took

$11 million last year.

Make that make sense.

I can't.

But you are going to be okay.

I don't know, though.

Everyone I know has gone through this.

Layoffs, downsides, and consolidation.

It's just brutal.

Anyway.

I know that I'm lucky. I know that a lot of people have it worse than me. Most

people have it worse than me.

It's just, I'll be fine. I'll be fine. It is so unfair.

You've worked your ass off for a whole two decades.

All across the country and the world, and you never took the easy paycheck.

You never slept with a colleague.

One.

Two.

Anyway, the point is, is that I never slept with anyone who could promote me,

just the hot, powerless one.

Are you sure?

You don't want to come and work for me at the gallery?

I need someone who can write decent copy. And you need a job.

Oh, sweetie.

No, thank you. Not yet.

Don't you want to tell her?

Okay. All right.

Hold on.

You're sure the story's not going to break tonight?

Pierre says we have a day or two.

Well, that's something.

Don't tell her until tomorrow, then.

No point in spoiling the evening.

Y 'all are doing fine.

All the time.

Every night, all the time.

Only girls are going to my room.

I just wanted to tell you that the story broke down in line.

Oh. Well, the business of fashion has already run out.

How bad is it?

A disaster.

It's gone completely viral.

You want to take a look?

Nigel, can I see that? Do I have my glasses on?

Sorry. Anyway, you're being blamed for absolutely everything.

Oh, God. Are we just going to slip?

Yes. And the timing couldn't be worse.

I know.

Jenna, let's go play the music.

It's this appalling company called Speed Fash.

They lied to us about their working conditions. They tricked our reporter.

So now we are accused of being complicit in promoting this perfectly horrible

company. The length that some people will go to to turn a profit.

So now we're the villains, du jour.

Served up red by being hot.

Well, good for you, I say.

Villains are always the most interesting.

Oh, God, Irv.

Ah, that is my cue to take the dog out for a walk. Hey, you!

Let's get this done.

Come on, boy.

Hello, Irv. What the hell, Miranda?

Dad.

Dad.

This is bad.

Even the journalists are out in the runway.

And all of Elias Clarke is getting blamed.

Our monkeys, our circus.

I know.

I was going to call back any shred of credibility.

Check this out.

Yo. Miranda Priestley?

I thought she was smart enough.

At this point, it's like you're not relevant.

She's a relic. She's a dinosaur.

Oh, my gosh.

I know. Is she watching the finale of Yellowstone? Don't believe.

Andy Sachs?

Yes? Oh, Rabbit.

Quite a speech you made today.

Oh? Hi.

Looks like you need a job.

I can't even believe I'm thinking about going back to work at that magazine.

I'll keep telling.

Twice what I made at the Vanguard, and Irv promised that I would have a real

budget to tell stories and hire real writers like you guys, so I don't know.

Hey, no one here is judging you.

I am currently editing a memoir by one of Paris Hilton's chihuahuas, a sassy

applehead named Chitown. Just to back up, you can hold on.

Your complete abandonment of your principles means a lot.

Cheers to that. See you later, man.

You know what you could do? If you took the job, you could write a book.

The definitive Miranda Priestley.

No, I couldn't do that. An insider's book about Miranda could be cute. I'm

to text my boss. No, no, no, no, no. Who do you dare?

50K for it. No, no, really don't do that. No, no, no, no. I will never get

again by anyone. She has a point.

Some whiny girl complaining about her boss.

Okay, he said a well -written proposal, and we all know you do write well, could

get you something like 100K. No, I'm sorry.

No, I'm just not that person. I'm not.

Maybe I can make something of this job.

Runway does have a history of publishing great writing. No, I'm going to walk in

there tomorrow with a big smile on my face, and I'm going to make something of

this job.

Okay?

Don't worry, I said to be ready at 9, Irv.

And you know who demanded we be crosstown at 9 .15, so how do we do

We don't have time for this.

What does he mean, I fixed it? I have no idea.

Your 9 a .m. is here.

Hello?

Miranda?

Nigel? What would TJ Maxx drag down?

Hello, sex. Hello.

Thank you so much for this opportunity.

I've got to admit, I was really surprised when Herb called. I mean, a

time has gone by, but I'm just... I'm so happy for the chance to... Sorry.

Who is this? Do you know her? Do I know her? You might remember Andy.

She was one of the Emilys. One of what? The Emily from... Mandy's back.

A smart, fat girl.

I was one of your assistants eons ago.

Maybe Herb didn't fill you in. And Herb sent you here to... To...

Run the features department.

Be the features editor.

He hired me last night.

He didn't tell you?

So he said that we need to, I mean, Runway needs

to take control of the narrative of the Speedpass story and restore credibility.

And he thought someone with my expertise would be a good idea. But I...

thought that for sure you had approved and were excited and that's why i came

here all like oh amari

yes get ashley on the phone hi

good morning miranda yes actually flag on the play we don't need you

this morning or ever so pack up your things and uh ain't far we'll be able to

see you shortly

Happy? You just caught Cornell's philicum laude, her job.

First in her family to go to college, I believe.

Anyway, come along.

Come on.

You should get that looked at.

The injury or condition or whatever that causes you to trudge.

Oh, I was thinking that when we get back to the offices, we could sit down and

go through some of your priorities. I could share some of my insights with the

editorial director of the magazine.

First, though, we need to appease an important advertiser. Is that where

going? Yes. They're furious about Speedfash.

what they're going to extract from me. Free ad space, targeted editorial.

Or cornea.

Luckily, though, I'm not worried.

Because I have you flown in from on high to help redirect a century

-old institution with the benefit of your infinite wisdom and what? Oh,

expertise.

Dior comes to 16 % of our design percent.

And our leading sponsors of all our special events, which ain't cheap. Okay,

got this. We'll be at the top.

Am I having a hallucination?

Emily, hi.

You also know her?

Well, we were at runway at the same time, Miranda.

Really?

When was I?

Right.

Um, shall we?

Miss Charlton, you're glowing.

It seems retail still suits you. Ah, Nigel, you're hanging in there by your

fingernails. Remember when magazines were a thing?

All right, come on in, everybody.

Take a seat.

Lots to discuss.

Mm -hmm.

Um, where would you like to start?

Okay, so, um, I am the new Patriots editor at Runway. No, you're not.

Are you serious?

Wow.

One does never see.

No, I'm actually a journalist now.

I've been published in... It doesn't matter. Anyway, we are all well aware

running that story was a mistake and are taking immediate steps. I cannot

actually get over this.

It's really remarkable.

A senior editor at Runway.

You. Yep.

We're all so thrilled.

You know what's funny is you've changed. You have. You're much more confident.

Kept those eyebrows though, didn't you?

Right, Miranda.

How are you? I mean, what a shambles. I've had to unruffle so many feathers.

Because as you know, our association with Runway and with you is predicated

your sterling reputation.

Momentary lab.

And we're doing everything we can to make it right with you. Good. I was

shocked reading it. Though I'm sure it's also important that we have editorial

freedom. We have to maintain our journalistic integrity.

Integrity, I see. La -di -da, Andy.

Very high -minded of you. Well, please help yourself to standards galore. But

there are no advertisers, there's no runway.

No us, no you.

And we understand that completely.

Oh, good.

I think...

As a consequence of your lapse in judgment, there's just a few things we'd

like. Just move it all over.

We are thinking at least three pages of advertising credit and a feature on the

opening of our new flagship.

Six pages.

Three. No, five.

I'm sorry, are we at the fish market, Nigel? It's five, with brand mentions in

all captions.

Miranda?

Absolutely. We'll get right on that immediately.

Cool.

I'm confused. You just let them tell you what to do?

Because if I'm here to restore your credibility... Did you not hear her?

No them, no us.

We need our advertisers, Andrea.

The September issue is already so thin, you can floss with it.

Advertisers are important.

I know that. I'm not brand new. But let's be clear.

You did not earn this job. I did not hire you. You are a CEO's latest whim.

And all I need to do is to bide my time until you fail.

And you will.

Fail.

Hi. Hi. We weren't properly introduced yesterday. I'm Andy Sack. Charlie.

I'm the second assistant.

Hi, Charlie. Hey.

Everybody just calls me Charlie with a chair, if you want, because Amari won't

want to be my dad.

Oh, no, it's okay.

A million girls are killed for this job.

Heard that.

Is Miranda there? You are.

There you are. Hi.

I'm on time.

So, you're the kind of person who thinks on time is on time.

Okay, got it. All right, come on. I'll take you to your office.

Amari, I need to pee.

Please, I had a venti.

Oh.

Was it worth it?

No. Actually, I should probably talk to Miranda first. Oh, I'll take you to her

office.

Good luck, Charlie.

Thanks.

So, I used to have your job.

I had. It's such a remarkable fact. Yeah, back in 2006.

That's good if I was fashion week.

Wore a bunch of pieces from the Chanel collection that year.

Oh, wait, the one with the page boy hat?

And the thigh high boots. Oh, yeah.

You still have a little bit?

No, I gave it away.

What? Would have been a bit much for a newsroom.

And this is Ashley's office?

No, Miranda wants you to have this one for some reason. For some reason, right?

You get the wish.

I stole these for you.

All from this season.

But lie about where you got them.

There's more where that came from. But you can't be greedy.

Cafeteria? Great. All the time. Come on.

I don't mind that place, huh?

Is it?

Margella.

Directed and in profile.

Eleven bucks.

Everything or two awesome out here, babe?

Not bad.

Babe.

Ah, babe.

Winding road that brings us back to me.

Watching you little goo into a bowl.

It's so good to see you, Nigel.

I used to get four weeks in Africa with Avedon to do a

glossy spread, and now I'm lucky if I get two days at Milk Studios.

To shoot content that people scroll past whilst they...

So. Yep.

Is it just me?

Or has Miranda been extra specific?

You see her outside of Dior and thought her head was going to spin completely

around. She's on edge because Irv is about to promote her to global head of

content. No, wait, that's a huge job. But the problem is...

Speed fashion debacle might derail the whole thing. What you're saying is she

needs me.

Oh, you're furious.

Sorry.

Are you Andy? Yes. Hi, I'm Jen Chow. I'm your new assistant.

Oh, I was wondering about that. Nice to meet you.

I was an intern this morning, but when a desk opens up, the interns get a chance

to interview.

Guess what?

Nobody wanted to work in your department because it's not actual fashion.

So I just like got it. Isn't that cool?

Very. You don't want me.

I didn't say that. If you don't want me, you can interview someone else. That's

totally fine. I don't want to go to Yale 3 .8. So GPA leaves the print of the

whiff and poof. So my ACC's world is 36 on the very first try. No, you seem

great. I'm happy to have you. Great. Okay, great. Okay.

So listen, I'm going to be working late tonight. So I'm just going to need a

couple things.

First, I just... Is Miranda hanging up her own coat?

Yeah, I heard there were some HR complaints.

Apparently she used it just to throw her comb at people.

Maybe

something's

broken.

Anyway, yeah, working late tonight.

You don't have to wait for the book, are you?

Oh, yeah.

She likes hard copies.

No.

Can I give you something to bring home to her?

Of course. I'll have it over.

Thank you.

Oh, when you go to her house, no matter what anyone tells you, don't go up the

stairs.

Never.

Who'd be stupid enough to do that?

No one.

Vanessa Friedman in the Times says that Andy's story is a bracing mea culpa.

Yeah, but anyone besides culture writers actually click on the story. Not

really, but optics -wise, saved our bacon, right?

We'll see.

Are we still out?

I read your piece. It was really good. Oh, thank you.

Oh, that was a cool profile.

Oh, yeah.

The Barnes piece.

Obviously, it was from before their split.

Yeah. I love Sasha Barnes. I know.

I've tried to get an interview with her, like, a million times, but I've always

struck out. Oh, you're not the only one.

Really?

Miranda would kill.

Now that their divorce has made Sasha one of the richest women in the world.

Interesting.

I feel like I could write a book about just his before and after. You know what

I mean? Like, the original Benji Barnes is like that.

globe -shouldered nerd who's like never seen the inside of a weight room.

Lately, there was a picture of him the other day. A few steroids, a minute of

Sculptra, um, as I beg, and voila!

He's a modern miracle.

It's a modern miracle.

Kind of love a glove.

It's compelling.

Hooray! What? Oh!

We took some vintage Nuclears and Westwoods and we shot them downtown in

Washington News.

And you were there when these images were taken?

Yes, I was.

So the intention was dull and listless. I wouldn't say that was the goal.

When the models were encouraged to mill around like starving goats in the

parking lot of a methadone clinic in the Jurassic.

Well.

What am I not allowed to say?

Methadone? New Jersey.

Anyway. This was our first time using this photographer so we can do a

Just, you know, fix it.

So, well, Marta, what do you have cooking? We're seeing a lot of Gorkor

year's resort.

So I was thinking of doing an interactive piece on the app where you

national park and then you choose a hiking shoe and a bum bag.

Bum bag, may my suicide be brief and painless.

No, no. What?

What do you mean, no, no? I'm not talking about killing other people.

Yet?

Okay, fine.

Uh, who else?

Lana, what do you have? The re -report of the SpeedFast story went over well.

Media critics responded to our candor and to us taking responsibility.

Right.

But did anyone read the piece?

I don't know.

No, I don't have the metric on that one.

Mm -mm.

Mm -mm.

See, you are here to write and edit features that people read.

And when that happens, yes, you may interrupt the meeting.

But until then... Mm -mm.

Let's talk about rodeo bow ties.

This one's cute.

That was kind of rough.

I mean, I just feared it through a crisis. Is it so hard to acknowledge

Oh, yes. The girl likes validation.

Did your parents hang all of your finger paintings up on the fridge? No, it's

not that. I don't need a pat on the head.

I need to know what she wants.

All right, I need constructive feedback.

Oh, feedback.

And a lollipop? Or just feedback?

Did you need this job?

Did you take the job?

So figure out a way to do this job.

Bye. Bye.

Yes, dear.

Oh, that's far too pink, and we are subtle. We're not Valentino, you know

mean? Is this the top I sent you?

Tulip whisper.

There's the one.

No, I don't know.

I don't know about that.

Oh, there she is.

Is this all you? It is. It's impressive.

You are very busy.

Thank you for your time. The thinking is that we will cover the new flagship,

and your role in putting it together.

Is that Miranda's idea?

It was mine.

Fine. If that's what you think is best, then that's fine.

Okay, great. Mind you give me a tour? Okay, will do.

Ken, it is not a whisper. It's a cry for help.

This, of course, is a tribute to the Grand Staircase. It's the original Dior

Atelier on Avenue Montaigne.

This is incredible.

I know.

And the carpet?

I'm not at liberty to discuss that, Andy, but it is whopping.

What? What is that sickening look?

It's nice to see you all, Bronner.

Dewey, you used to make that face. Because you were always so irritated.

you were a barrel of fun.

No, hey, hey, hey.

Listen. Ow, it's nice to see you again. Catch me up. Who are you now? No. Like,

not for this.

Just human to human.

Fine. I am divorced from a pathological narcissist. Thank God. But I've got two

beautiful children.

Bronwyn of Rourke, one of Collegiate, one of Chapin.

Good for you.

I know. Gorgeous, right? Yeah.

You?

I mean...

Left New York for 15 years, just lived everywhere, chasing stories.

And I'm not married, never found the right person.

And my kids are at a doctor's office on 85th.

They've heard the name right now, but I like to think that it's my little one.

Okay,

why did you leave runway?

I'm sorry, is this an excursion?

No, it's just a question. Well,

I mean, you worshipped that place and Miranda, so why'd you leave? Why are you

even asking me why?

I mean, up a curve around this place, luxury retail is the only sector of the

fashion business that still makes money. That's it.

Retail. Everything else. Forget it. So yes, happy to be here, frankly.

Because you know that 20 years ago, a $100 handbag was considered a smudge.

Brands like us, we changed all that.

Use logos and branding because everyone understands, everyone gets it, that your

bag, your scarf, your perfume, your umbrella, write this down. It tells the

world who you are.

What you care about.

And now, there's housewives in Banff who wouldn't dream of going out without one

of our $3 ,000 tokens.

And that's a good thing. I don't know, is it a bad thing to bring beauty and

design to everyone? Everyone who has $3 ,000.

Have you heard of Christmas?

Anyway, don't you worry about me and my career. Worry about yourself.

Haven't seen any of your stories get any traction.

Nothing moving the needle there.

What does Miranda say about it?

She picked up on you.

Yes, sir.

Yes, I am looking at the numbers.

Okay.

That sounds like a warm bath.

It's as if he forgets he hired her.

His hire. My problem.

Did he say anything at all about the global editorial job?

No, he's gone numb about all that.

I've had my career trying to figure out what people need to know. Now I need to

figure out what people want to click on. It's just... Maybe you just have to

figure out how to do those things at the same time. You know, like the smart

stuff and the fun stuff.

Oh, my God.

Is it? Hi.

Would you like a... No, not going to.

Sit.

Irv called, frustrated.

Your pieces are not breaking through.

Yeah, no, but I do have to say that I think that some of these pieces are

worthwhile. Worth whose while?

I mean, that you want to turn new readers on to runway, that's great.

But maybe you don't want to turn off the ones we already have?

Yeah, I didn't want to.

But we do have some important work coming up.

I'm doing a Sasha Barnes profile.

Have an interview?

That?

Uh, close.

I'm just blocking in the details, but I have an in. Hmm.

Pastor Barnes hasn't done press in three years.

Bit of a holy grail interview -wise.

That's what makes it so exciting.

But what's your in?

Oh.

I don't have one.

Here we go.

No, it's... Even back then, they were just so insanely rich.

And just so I'm clear, you have no way to get to Sasha, but you told Miranda

that you do? Correct.

That's standing a little close to the fire, no?

I am the fire.

Oh,

yeah, yeah. I know this place. This is the Cecily Brown.

It sold for over 600K back in 2009.

Okay. Do you know who sold it to them?

Yeah, probably my friend Paula. She's Cecily's biggest dealer.

Can she get me Sasha's number? Maybe.

Maybe call Paula.

Can you go faster?

I've got you. I know, okay.

Paula said you might be able to get me a number for Sasha Barnes.

Uh -huh.

You can.

Dog trainer?

I'll take it. I just want to ask her some questions.

Yes, no, I promise I won't get back to you.

Thank you.

Sasha.

Hi, Annie Sachs from Runway again.

Would love to talk when you have a sex, so call me anytime.

Anytime. I'm always touching my phone.

Sorry, I am so focused on getting this story. No worries. About Sasha H's

messages and everything. Everyone she knows, anyone I've ever met.

Love that for you.

Sorry, where is this one? Right here.

Really? What?

Star on Zillow.

Isn't she gorgeous?

Anyway, even if I loved it, I can't afford that. Sure you can. You're making

double your own salary.

For how long?

Come on, let's just go take a sneak peek at a model unit, okay?

I just want you to have the apartment you deserve.

I mean, you gotta admit.

Yeah, it's not bad.

I bet you wouldn't have to bang on the faucet to get running water.

The bar is so low.

I'm gonna go check out the bedroom.

Renovated properties.

Everything that's wrong with our society.

I totally, yeah. No, no, no, don't get me wrong. I mean, I don't, I do love

places. It just kind of breaks my heart when you find a historic building and

then they do, you know. Well, it's heartbreaking. And the other thing is,

know, I didn't, this is me, this is my building.

It's fine, it's fine. No, okay.

Hi. Hello. I'm a jerk.

I'm Peter. Andy. Nice to meet you. I don't want you to think that I'm like a

greedy.

Because I'm not. I'm a contractor.

So I just found the building and I cobbled together a bunch of rich old

who were, you know, awful, disgusting, heartbreaking people. And they bought

And I got to work on it. And, you know, they gave me a little slice of that.

Also, the city was going to knock it down. It was in bad shape. No, it was.

was in bad shape.

They had rats here. Well, here is your word. I don't want to play into that

narrative. But there were rats here that were basically men. Excuse me.

Here you go. Yeah, I'm fine.

I'm sorry.

Oh.

Lily, this is... Peter Wolbertson. Peter. Yeah. Peter. And I gotta... Yes.

gotta go.

I'm so sorry I unheld at your building. Good luck. Bye.

Bye. Huh.

Huh. You two were having a moment.

I think so.

What's your story?

My story?

Single? Yeah. Why?

Uh, well... Divorce?

Yes. Kids?

No. Do you have a card? Yep, yep, yep.

There you go.

I'll be checking your socials. Okay.

Where is she? Why?

Where is she?

Okay, I'll look.

We were thinking about Victorian and Edwardian dress and

the incredible undergarments and how they exaggerate and enhance a woman's

figure.

You hate the bow. I don't like the bow. Michael, I told you she hates the bow. I

got the holy grail.

grant an interview now?

I didn't intend to live a public life.

I got my PhD, taught anthropology, while Benji was tinkering with code.

I had no idea that would, you know, put me on a rocket ship into this hall of

mirrors to make the couple members.

But here I am, this estate, this art collection, and my goal is, well,

actually, my obligation is to eventually give everything I have away.

Well, we're very grateful you chose to sit down with us.

Lately, I've noticed what you've been doing with your articles. It's more

gravitas and an actual point of view.

You know, you haven't asked me a single thing about Benji.

Either the original or the 2 .0 version.

Why should you be defined by that marriage?

He isn't.

You're right. I'm not.

Or will I be defined by my second?

I'm engaged.

I met someone who has his own life and doesn't give a shit about all this

fanfare around me.

Engagement.

I did not have any idea.

Well, no one does. You're the first.

I mean, I'm not sure why people care, but they seem to.

Yeah.

You know, go ahead and break the story.

It's my little gift to you.

This is huge.

A fabulous bit of gossip that we are breaking about an iconic but elusive

woman. Photos are gorgeous. Your article is great.

My styling is genius.

This is what runway does best.

What if Miranda doesn't like it?

Don't be negative.

Yeah, why would I be negative?

Stop it.

That.

Brilliant. Right?

Yep. So let's just run it as our main piece, push it out to the

subscribers and pin it on top of the socials as well. That's great.

you came back i came back good any apartment still available i think it's

15 or 20. how many you want let's start with one

i think it's good but i also have the 11 other

stories that i had to post today about uh coconut water and i have a joke

between you and your lover and enzyme peel enzyme peel that's wrong what is

what is an enzyme peel Okay, it peels the skin off your face. It peels that

right off. Wow.

Did we pay for that?

Maybe I should have because of all my old skin. No, that's completely out. I

feel like I'm done. You're over. But you still get to do real chances. Please

tell me that you do. You know what was amazing?

The series you did on the Federal Reserve.

When you're the vanguard.

You read a four -piece series about the inner workings of the Federal Reserve

without knowing if you were ever going to see me again?

I did. And that's weird that I did that. Now, hearing you say it, that is weird.

I shouldn't have told you that. It's nice.

It's really nice. I've been in long -term relationships with guys who've

read anything of mine, so it's very nice.

That's appalling.

I know, it's crazy, but... I can't help it.

Part of me does hope that this is a stint at Runway and that it's a stepping

stone that I get to go back and do really powerful things and, you know,

for a paper or a serious -minded magazine or write a book. Book?

Did you get a book in you?

I actually have an offer for a book. That's awesome.

My friend wants me to write a book about someone famous.

Oh. Okay? But she wants...

The trashy tabloid version.

But I would want to make it good.

I think I could make it good. You made the federal reserve sexy.

I'm sure you'd be fine with a celebrity person.

And then you'd be on a date with an author.

Because that's what they do.

I mean, it's a date.

Does talking about it make it less of a date? Talking about it makes it more of

a date. We have more of a date. More of a date than we previously were. I like

being on more of a date. Come on.

Tully, I'm not interested in doing the tabloid version. It would have to be

elevated and rigorous. Would that be something you're...

Editor would be interested in.

Wait, are you kidding me? No, he's not.

All right.

All right.

Okay,

I'm going to send over a few pages and a proposal.

Andy, are you for real on this? Because, like, this would really help me at the

company. You better not be messing with me on this, all right?

Because, oh, my God, I'm so excited.

What are we going to do at the book party?

You know, please keep this to yourself, okay? Thank you. Bye.

So I got a text that Miranda wants to see me this Saturday.

Mm -hmm. At her house, ma 'am? Yeah, she's hugging people there for the

Wait, I'm people? What?

Perhaps I've requested you. Hello? Irv's going to be there?

Johnny, what did we say about laughing?

Stella! Hi.

Can I have one, Charlie?

Just three.

No, not.

I don't own anything for the Hamptons. I don't Hampton. I've never Hamptoned.

Tom. I once put together a whole suite of summer looks for RBG, and she slayed

it.

Okay, so, a weekend in the Hamptons? I mean, does this mean I'm in?

No. When can I relax?

Um,

I'd say coffin.

I am not equipped for that.

Okay, here's what you need.

Fendi, we need that.

The Brunella Cucinelli pants, we love those.

And, oh, yes, Gabriella Hearst.

Gorgeous, gorgeous.

And custom Kelly.

What about this?

No. This is quiet luxury.

Luxury that is so quiet you need an ear trumpet.

Okay. You definitely need an embroidered two -piece totem set, but not the

terracotta because you're so pale.

Let's go with the ivory.

Okay. Now, remember, all this, just alone.

Got it? I need every single bit back by Monday. Okay.

No, that is not quiet. That is like a screaming guitar solo. Sorry. That is so

pretty. Yes, it is, but it's inappropriate for this occasion. Sorry.

Not a stain.

Not even a hint of a stain.

Nothing. I mean nothing.

You're not a kid anymore.

Oh, God.

Hello, you must be Andy. Hi, you're Stuart Simmons. I am, let me take that.

nice to meet you. And you.

I'm a big fan of your quartet.

Really? Since yesterday when I found out I'd be meeting you and I'm looking you

on Spotify. Oh, I'm so sorry.

I'm not. It was wonderful. You are very kind. And that is a terrific dress. Oh,

thank you. I want you to meet two of my favorite people, Suleyka and John.

I saw your symphony at Carnegie Hall. It was extraordinary. Yes, for sure. Hi.

Oh, hi. Hi. I know. I saw the piece.

Thank you very much. Yeah.

Hi. Yes, me. Tell.

Yeah. Yeah.

Hello. How are you doing?

It was a great series. Oh, I appreciate it. Thank you.

It was a thrill to be in New York. Jenna Bush. Hey, girl. Hi, how are you? Nice

to meet you. Very nice to meet you. Quite an interview.

Highest engagement of any runway story in eight years.

Tommy Adeyemi and Ronnie Chang. You should know Tina Brown. Tina, this is

Your piece.

Incredible.

Viral. I'm getting alerts every ten seconds.

I don't have enough roses.

Thank you so much for inviting me. It's such a wonderful crowd.

I just talked to Irv.

You know that dance party Elias Clarke's throwing for his 75th?

That's where he's gonna make the announcement about my new role.

I'm going to be global head of content across all Elias Clarke publications.

Wow, that is, wow.

You know, he's been holding it over my head for so long.

I don't know why I'm telling you this, but I thought it would never happen.

Congratulations.

You deserve it.

And he's talking about giving the features department bigger budget.

No. Yeah?

Really? Which means, maybe, we'll have to look for a more respectable office

you. Well, that would be great. Mm -hmm.

I always knew that you would end up doing something great.

I forgot I existed.

Right. Oh.

Before that.

So it's a lot. I like a lot. You do?

Yeah. Okay, I'm just going to come out. Yeah, just come out. It's a lot.

Well, I mean, if this is what you call a lot, I like it a lot.

Like, a lot.

Thank you. Like, I don't think we should go to the thing at all.

Okay, this is a critical work party. He likes his sort of thing.

Everything that's wrong with the baby, yeah.

Okay, so now, is that Hugh Jackman?

That is Hugh Jackman. I should also know. I should know. I'm not sure.

Do you know him? Well, no, but if Australians have to hide from each

becomes a hot thing. I'll just say, that's my g'day. G'day. G'day. Okay.

Boy, we're just not going to need our neck.

Oh, it's not.

It's so crazy.

It's true. It's a new trachea technology. It's trachea elimination.

I like my neck. It's useful.

You can throw it in your tie collection.

That's for sure. You believe that?

Emily is dating.

Mm -hmm.

Yep.

Benji Barnes, no less. Look at him.

I thought he smitten.

Just awesome. No neck.

That's going to be us in space.

She is every girl who never talked to him in high school.

No, just really stick them out. I don't like the beard.

You know it.

All the girls.

Let's go say happy birthday to Irv. What's up?

Hello.

Sorry, sorry.

These parties were so much better when I was drinking.

Not for me.

Here's the birthday boy.

So,

Irv is about to announce Miranda's new position.

Right now?

At the end of his speech.

Here you are.

Thank you very much. You know what I gotta say?

I'm impressed the way you got past what happened between you and her.

What do you mean?

The parents.

When she gave the job, you wanted to shut clean. Oh, 20 years ago.

She's done versions of that to me a million times since then.

But, here I am.

By her side.

Or to the side.

You know, a few steps behind.

And you'd rather be out front?

Maybe you should tell her what you want.

What, like you do?

Like everyone else does?

Benji, I want you to meet some of the people I work with at Runway. This is

Nigel Kidding.

Nigel. Pleasure.

And that's Andy's... Something like that. Oh, Andy.

Sacks. Sacks.

Hey,

are you the gal who wrote that piece the wrong way about my gal, Emily?

Yes, I am. Oh my God, I gotta thank you.

Really? That was so intriguing to me.

The writing?

Photos. The photos were so good. Right? Yeah.

A day like today really puts things in perspective, how fast time moves, how we

got to focus on what's important and priority.

My father loved runway, you know. And he did.

So did your grandfather.

Yeah. He hired me, you know.

And when he passed everything over to Irv.

Yeah. We were the same age. We worked so closely. Yeah, right.

Now it's me and you.

And I look forward to carrying that football into the end zone together.

The end zone.

Beautifully put.

I can't believe this is happening.

It's terribly sad. It's very sad.

Somehow Dolce addressed everyone here.

This entire funeral is their full 26th.

I mean, they must have driven to everyone's houses, flinging out

doubt. Bloody Domenico.

So sly.

He'll do anything to get back at me since I put Kendall in the finale of 24.

Isn't she the greatest? She's been chomping at the bit for vengeance.

Yeah. Over Kendall.

Can't believe there's someone named Kendall.

What's Jay going to do? Do you know?

Do we have any idea what he's going to do with runway? No, no, I have no idea.

But I mean, you see the man.

Not exactly a fashion icon.

Dressed head to toe in performance synthetics.

Throw a match at him and he'll go up like a Christmas tree in March.

We're going to be okay, right?

Runway's still valuable, right? I mean, even without her, they know that, right?

Sorry, so aggressively rhetorical.

You know, I have no idea. We're just going to have to soldier on.

Runway Italy helped establish Milan as one of fashion's most important bases of

operation, which is why we can own this, the Brera Academy.

We're going to have a custom runway that will be for fashion as well as musical

acts. The whole evening is going to kick off with one of Miranda's trademark

speeches. This one will be about the intermingling of runway and Italian

couture. I'm almost finished with the speech, by the way. It will be in your

inbox by the end of the week. Yes, Marta. Yeah, this thing with Irv dying

all that.

When do we find out if things are changing? Yeah, what's Jay's plan for

magazine? Is he taking over?

Does he even like fashion? I mean, he wears Ricard Noir.

I'd like to talk about the looks that we're going to feature in the Bramwell

Academy show.

Some of the bodies are very interesting, very body negative.

No, don't tell me. I know this.

Body positive.

but why really when you think oh my god he's here

always

love

your office can't get views like this anymore

I remember you coming to the offices as a kid with your father and your little

lacrosse stick tossing that ball up all around.

I broke a vase.

Did you?

I don't remember.

Anyway, sorry it took me a while to stop by or call you back.

We barely noticed.

But now I'm ready to get ducks in rows, kick some concepts around with you,

check boxes.

Lunch?

No. Bad time.

You slammed?

No, not at all. I'll just get someone to make a reservation.

Oh, cafeteria's fine.

I have a couple calls that I should return anyway.

Um, I will see you there in ten.

Amari?

Yes? We have a cafeteria?

Oh, yes.

Really?

Julia. She's never even been to that floor.

It's frozen again.

Be back in 20 minutes.

Hey.

What's good here?

Um, all the... things.

You know what?

Before we eat, Why don't I introduce you to some of the guys?

People. Tell them the people.

Didn't mean to bring all these folks on you at once.

Yeah. These are just some consultants that I brought in for the restructure.

The best guys.

People. The best people.

They'll be weighing in on our organizational alignment, operational

financial architecture, digital transformation,

user experience, everything.

Everything. Sandeep, you want to fill Ms. Priestley in on our concept?

Absolutely. Sandeep Kapoor, Harvard MBA. Not important.

You know, at our offices, we call you Miranda Beastly because you're a beast

the game.

And unfortunately, right now what's happening is that beast is leashed. And

need to let that beast free. Let it roam.

Undertakers.

No, what?

Management consultants.

Like I said.

McKenzie to my eyes.

Cute.

Anyone want Froyo?

What? What?

Back in here.

Why won't you run this television again?

It's a national emergency.

It went on for an hour.

Miranda in the middle of that circle of students?

I have no idea what was agreed to.

They're going to cut pictures first. They always cut the writing first. Look,

look.

Miranda is resourceful, all right? Whatever this new situation is, she'll

way. Trust me, she's always had a step ahead.

You know, this whole thing of having an actual job, it's been, like, great, you

know? Yeah, I know.

Hi. Hi. I need to talk to you right now. Okay. Okay.

You know, you said that you wanted to know about what Miranda and Jay were

talking about in the cafeteria.

Yeah. So?

What is that?

When I was getting Froyo, I dropped my phone on the floor, and I put my phone

under her chair, and it was recording the whole time.

She knows.

Yeah. What?

Yep, yep, yep.

You're such a badass.

Yeah, I know.

We took a look at your budget and have some immediate ideas for scale -downs.

Show the market that we are ready to crank that EBITDA.

You don't want to know.

I was kidding.

What is it? Spell it.

They're cutting everything.

Features reduced to nothing.

Fashion and beauty decimated, cuts across all departments, and anyone who's

here for longer than five years is too expensive an article.

I'm sorry.

That makes sense.

You know what she said?

No.

Engulfing.

Nigel.

I think I like the bag crossbody.

That's what I think.

Another publication.

Deleted.

I'm sorry, Andy. It sucks.

It sucks.

That's where it's all going, you know.

It's happening all over. It's pharmacies. It's bookstores. It's you

It's all being downsized.

It's all consolidating. No, I just can't accept that. We can't just keep sucking

the soul out of everything.

Gutting it and then repackaging it. To what end?

But it's... We're replacing it. You know, you've basically just described

I've done with this building.

We're not talking about you right now. We're talking... Also, like, journalism

matters more than luxury apartments.

That's true.

I'm sorry, I'm just... Such a spectacularly helpful conversation.

it not?

No.

I'm going to give you a minute.

Hey, I know you've got to go to Italy, but if you want to catch up with your

back, I'd like it.

It's up to you.

Andy? Yes.

You alright?

Can I come in? Sure, absolutely.

Wasn't expecting you, I suppose.

Sorry to bother you, I just, um, need a... Catch your breath, please.

Okay, yeah.

Um, is she here?

Yeah, she's...

bother you. I just need to talk.

Talk? So, uh, I just need to, I just need to, you have a plan, right? A

plan like, like you did. I can't hear you. Don't you have people you can call?

I just, I just don't want everyone to lose their jobs. Please, Miranda, we

been doing such great work lately.

We're attracting great writers and people care about the magazine again. I

this job has let me hope again for the future, for our future, my future. I

might be able to increase an egg.

Go home.

But I... It's late. Do not concern yourself with this.

So, Milano, Nigel, you're saying that some new directives have come in from on

high?

Budget cut?

Yes. So, regarding Milan, we're cutting John Legend because he wants us to

ship his piano there and that's too pricey. So, no music, unless we call him

favor.

No.

She's impossible.

That copper almost killed me. Fine.

No music.

Not at all. No music. Okay, fine. I'll call her. Thank you. Now, there are a

new policies across the board.

The first one is no more private cars. Uber only.

And, as for the flight...

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome aboard United Airlines

19 with service to Moana, Georgia. We'll be coming by with champagne for our

flight. If you're seated in economy, we do have a flight for you.

What is wrong with Miranda?

Why is she putting up with this?

Excuse me. Excuse me?

Uh, Ms. Creasy would like a glass of your finest champagne.

I'm sorry, that's not served in the cabin.

They have snack boxes.

A snack box?

Like,

um...

What are you doing?

Uh, got hypnotized.

Then she's wearing a very nice necklace.

Yes, I'm not surprised.

Last week I bought her a Monet.

And a Clint.

Really? Oh, yeah.

Come on.

Ah,

pronto.

Pronto, si, pronto.

Um, posso avere...

Il numero di camera.

Yes, I need to remember.

Mommy, Mark said he wants the eggplant from Miss Madeline, but it was my idea

go there.

Oh, Bunny, what do we do when we get a bit wobbly? We, that's right, breathe

Breathe in. Hold.

And breathe out. Don't forget to do the tap -y -tap, tap -y -tap. It's all the

way. There we are. Is that better?

Uh -huh. Okay, my love, now listen. Can you go get Daddy? All right, love ya.

I'm in Milan, and as you can see, I'm stretched thinner than a pair of Spanx.

can you just try parenting?

Go to Miss Madeline and get in the bloody eclair. I can't do anything. You

Italy? I'm here.

So...

May

the bridges I burn light my way.

Do you have a sec?

Hello.

Look at us. Up before dawn.

I just went for a stroll. What are you doing?

Me? Where are you going?

Como.

Yeah, I'm doing that story on the winery. Oh, right, right. That's cute.

Dinner tonight?

I've always seen the Tom Ford at the Giacomo. No gossip, sir.

Okay, great. I'll thank you. Okay. Okay.

Come on.

So how long have you had a place here?

Me? Oh, God.

I don't know.

Anything.

Oh, no, no. No,

thanks. Ciao.

Not having anything?

No, I'm not doing water these days.

Trying to operate at an aqua deficit.

It's poison. It's not poison.

It is poison.

So, do you think we can pull this off?

Depends on what he's asking. Oh, come on, Beebe. You can persuade anyone of

anything. You know that. That's true. I did persuade this one to go on a date

with me.

We're all about ear hair. Oh, my God, please.

And if you had seen me before I met this one, I had ear hair. So much hair

growing out of it.

Got me that little buzzer.

Yeah, and then a lawnmower.

Can you imagine?

A lawnmower in my chat. I just like him like a bar of clothes.

That's right.

Oh, there he is.

Jake!

Real quick.

You want to tell me quick, you can tell me quick.

Jake! You want to tell me slow, you can tell me slow.

Did you not see us? Not at all.

Lovely. How was your rehearsal?

Oh, you know, I just heard a room service.

Oh, yeah? Yeah. I love my bacalao mantecato here. Yum. Yeah. It's so good.

They don't have that here.

That's a Venetian dish, not Milanese.

Tell me the truth. What's going on?

You're skulking. I know a skulk when I see a skulk.

Tell me.

Morning. I can't do this class.

Ready?

Obviously, security is going to be very intense.

And we have hired extensive rotazione for the art.

Grazie. Okay, everybody. I'd like to run through the dinner for the client.

So, we have a U -shaped table.

That's the head up there.

It's going to end around here somewhere.

About 40 people.

And we're going to take the brands and we're going to... You know much about

Last Supper?

Painting this particular scene is nothing new.

You can find frescoes and themes, subject matter, all over Europe.

In the other version, the man in charge is usually depicted with a halo.

People think that it was da Vinci's way of saying, we are human.

No one is perfect.

Humans are once glorious and fallible.

And inevitably, we deceive and betray one another, let each other down.

Oh, it's what we're built to do.

Would you agree?

What's Andy doing? What's Andy doing?

Can I help you? Miranda knows. What? What do you mean she knows? She knows.

Did you laugh? No.

But I don't know. She's made it terrifyingly clear to me she is aware

is up. And I know that's right.

We're just doing this to help her, but I just honestly can't with the secrets

anymore, so I think we just, like, we should tell her. No, we will wait until

is done.

Please. Amy, bye.

Focus.

We need to tell Miranda. We need to tell her now.

I think you're a little bit sick.

I'm so nervous, I can't breathe.

My neck is hurting. My God, just find a feeling for once, please.

Oh.

The Emily.

Thought you were Amari.

Waiting for my Armani.

She's been human trafficked.

Oh. Uh, Jay sprung for the big suite.

Yeah. No.

It's a little snug, but, you know, I'll manage. How can I help you two?

Um, okay.

Miranda, what Jay wants to do with Runway, scaling it so far back that it

doesn't even resemble what it used to be, cutting my department, Nigel, and

of his department. How do you know about that?

Look, we all know how important Runway is and has been. Yeah, I mean, Runway is

practically a religion, and...

It needs to be protected.

So I think, you know, the question is, who has the means to acquire it?

Will you two please edit it out already? Um, Benji's buying Runway. Benji?

Benji Barnes?

My Benji made Jay Rabbit's an offer and Jay readily accepted.

And you had a part in this? Yes, we're doing it to protect Runway and you.

You'll be editor -in -chief for as long as you want to be. Wow, I'm sorry, I...

I know we've had our differences, but I just, I never realized that you were

capable of this level of betrayal.

Betrayal? No, Miranda, we're preserving Runway for you.

Oh, no, no, no. Miss Emily is not preserving anything for anybody.

Yes, she is. Yes, of course she is, Emily.

Emily, tell her.

Well, she's right.

Benji's buying runway for me.

So that I can run it. What are you talking about?

Look, she's had a long run. A historic run.

But she's exhausted.

And I'm fresher.

And younger.

I want to set taste, not just cater to them. Why would you do this? She knows

why.

I have no idea.

You pushed me out, didn't you? I did nothing of the kind. You made Dior hire

to get rid of me. Why? Why did you do that?

For the same reason that you should never be in charge of Runway, Emily,

you are beautiful and you're intelligent, but no.

You don't have what it takes.

I'm sorry, but you're not a visionary.

You're a vendor.

You don't know that.

You don't know the first thing about me. You'll never chance you. Oh, I think I

do, and I also think deep down.

Well, Benji's lawyers, they will be in touch with all the details.

I had no idea. I'm so sorry.

I just felt I had to do something.

I hope that's not what you're wearing to the dinner.

Hey, what's up? How are you?

Oh my god, Andy. These pages you sent?

My boss is freaking out. These are perfect.

Oh. Uh, so about that, um, I don't... There's so much promise here. I'm

you an offer and a contract.

And Andy, it's not 50.

It's not 100.

It's 350.

It's 350!

No. No? What do you mean no? Don't you mean, like... Hooray! This book, it

harm Miranda.

I don't... Which is fine, because she's atrocious.

It's more complicated than that.

Okay, Stockholm call. They want their syndrome back.

I... Can I call you back later?

Okay, thanks for letting me know.

All the boys want to go to Mars.

Mars?

Let's go to that big orange star that we call the sun.

Totally unexplored. We've been looking at it for centuries.

I'm going to build a little rocket. I'm going to call it the Icarus. Icarus did

fly too close to the sun. He did fly too close to the sun. And he fried.

You're making the point, aren't you? It's like an irony.

What's going on?

You look like a nervous cat.

Compliment? No.

I don't know. Why not?

I'm so sorry.

I'm ready to make an announcement whenever you're ready.

Oh, we're not closed yet. Still ironing out some of the details.

Oh, I see.

generous what you're doing for Emily.

I know she has many plans,

but I do hope that some runway traditions are allowed to remain.

Who knows?

The world is changing so fast sometimes that even I can't comprehend it. It's

all tradition.

I think a day is coming, perhaps very soon, where...

You know, Runway won't need models or locations or even designers.

It'll all just, you know, be AI.

Surely some things will stay the same. A commitment to beauty.

Artistry.

The best in human achievement.

Maybe. Maybe.

We're in an ancient city that was once part of one of the greatest empires that

the world has ever known.

Now there's just little traces of it left.

The world is about change. That's what human beings don't understand.

The future just comes roughing at us like the lava of Pompeii.

Our job is to just let it take what it wants to take.

One day it's going to come and it's going to smother us all.

Maybe that's the way it has to be.

Sorry, I should know those flights from Copenhagen are always delayed.

Hey, hey, hey, what's wrong?

And if I leave, what happens?

What will I have?

What do you have?

Well, you have the twins.

You've got one very badly behaved dog. I've got to talk to you about him.

And, um... You have me.

Yeah.

You bet.

Don't decide anything based on what you feel now.

You just imagine tomorrow.

You wake up, you have an espresso, you look out the window at all the layers of

Milan. Then you think, what's the next thing you want to do?

Come on.

Pull yourself together. We have work to do. And by we, I mean you. I have shows

to attend. You have phone calls to make. I have a long list of people for your

wedding.

I don't want to tell you what to do, but I'm going to tell you what to do.

Please wake her up.

You can wake her up. This is just worth it.

I'm going to have to call you back. Wake her up.

Good thing the clock is ticking. You give me the number if I stop talking. If

you do have the information, my boss is badder than your boss.

I can turn a dance floor into a runway.

Monday to Sunday, I can turn a dance floor into a runway.

I can turn a dance floor into a runway.

I really need to talk to them as soon as possible. I've just been crying all

day. Can you please wake them up? I have had a lot of caffeine, yes.

No,

not like a hypothetical now, like now, now.

Don't you want to win?

Sorry, it's time.

Have you heard from Andrea yet?

No, not yet.

So which way do I go?

I was surprised to hear from you.

Really? Why is that?

Because you don't like me.

Oh, what an absurd notion.

You are such a favorite.

And we are.

I'm so grateful that you're doing this for us. Of course I'm doing it. Nigel

said that I'd never get another cover if I didn't do it.

I think he said that.

Doesn't sound like him.

No.

You're right.

It sounds like someone else I know.

You can get dressed now.

I better go.

Break a leg.

Bye -bye.

let her in here. I understand. Yeah, but if you could just... It is.

That's great. Thank you.

No, thank you, thank you. I'm going to get her right now.

and my telephone bill is gonna be a nightmare, but... I did it.

Your plan worked?

Are you sure?

Yes, but we have to go now. If we're going now... So are we? Are we doing

There's a slight problem I have to host this evening, you know?

I have to give the keynote speech.

No, there's someone else who can do it.

I'd like to speak on behalf of Runway and represent it just as well as you if

you let him.

Who?

Oh.

Oh, he doesn't want to.

He wouldn't ever.

Have I taken you for granted?

What?

In a world where everyone shouts and complains and whines and screws up and

tries to cover up, there's you.

i need you to help me okay because i'm leaving right now and i need you to

speak for us instead of me no i can't do that of course you're like brilliant

i'm not of course you are also you wrote the damn speech so

i know you know it

I don't know.

But wait, it's better now

Buonasera a tutti.

Tonight, I'm here to talk about the love affair between runway

and Italy, and about runway's continued pursuit

of the excellent and the unparalleled in the world that we love so much,

the world of la moda.

Because I'm getting a magazine, but I'm also getting a creative mind that does

something that I can't like.

And tell me if this is a bit too much, but I was thinking of the first issue

that the cover girl could be.

A lion tamer? A magician's assistant?

Oh, trapeze. My God, do you work in a circus, Benji? No, me, me.

This means me. Oh, great.

Oh, that's brilliant.

Yes. I know.

Because I'm a role model. And most role models are not just like that.

That's true.

I'm going to call my PR girl. I'm going to have them issue a statement.

What is it, Brad?

Can we swing those whites?

How much cash?

Equity?

Is it syndicated?

We just did a simple black and white. No, I don't want to do black and white.

Why? I think it would be Elliot. So, here's the thing.

I've been trying to unload Elias Clark for years.

Dad wouldn't let me. Some sentimental hang -up. But just now, an offer just

from the sky, so I took it.

Sorry.

Are you saying that you sold Runway to someone else? I sold all of Elias Clark,

including Runway, to someone else.

No, you didn't.

Sorry, guys.

People.

No, no.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,

wait, wait.

I don't like it when you're... How could you have let this happen to me?

Who did this to me?

Who?

We will.

Do you think she'll be able to stay out of things?

You heard her.

Hands off.

For now.

You know, I should thank you.

You really woke me up.

I'm whole.

You should still write that book.

350k, that's nothing to sneeze at.

How did I know?

Oh, Andy.

People run to tell you this kind of news.

They run.

You should write it, and you should keep all the juicy bits in.

How impatient I am.

And demanding and imperious.

How much of my children's lives I've missed.

Just to put it all in there.

Because people should know.

They should know there's a cost.

But boy, I love working.

I really do, don't you?

Yeah, I just love it.

And if you read this book accurately, you know, could buy me a couple more

at the top.

Am I going to do that to you, Miranda?

Not anymore.

Why not?

Oh, because we're a team now?

Hmm.

Okay. Go ahead, tell yourself that. You wanted to save me.

That's a nice story.

And you are a good storyteller, but no, what you wanted to save was yourself.

And the last clock's just the last piece of wood floating next to the Titanic.

And for now, yeah, there is room for both of us.

Maybe you're right.

Maybe I did it to keep my life.

We can still do good work together.

No, we have no choice.

Pinocchio? Mm -mm.

Oh, my God.

Pinocchio.

Pinocchio grande.

Thank you. This is very funny. But, you know, she doesn't need any of this.

Nobody needs anything, but who doesn't love your freebie?

You love me.

You love me. I love you.

Thank you. Of course.

So, did you call him yet?

No.

I'm worried I'll say the wrong thing.

Maybe. Go see him.

Say the wrong thing.

That's part of it.

Stop.

Sono felice.

Be very proud of you.

I'm happy to see you.

In Italian?

Yeah. That was in Italian.

Well, so no.

I'm happy to see you in Italian, too.

Listen, we didn't have a perfect hello, and we certainly didn't have a

perfect goodbye, but maybe that doesn't mean anything except we're not perfect.

And maybe we should just be not perfect.

Thank you.

Well, I screwed up.

Rather royally.

It's okay.

Really?

Everyone screws up.

I might be very happy to hear that, although I'd be shocked you'd compromise

your much -vaunted values for me. Yeah, well, you know, sometimes you gotta...

How are things at coach?

It's honestly fine.

Great. It's fine.

Those other people were so mean about my French.

Got a bit sick a bit.

Do you know that I called you?

Yeah, I do. That's why I wanted to hear.

No, I mean, after you left Broadway the first time, I called you. You called me?

I called you. You... Oh, yeah, I remember. I got a pocket dial from you.

Bloody hell.

No, I wanted us to be...

I thought we could be pals.

No, don't make that face.

It's not a big deal.

Yes, but it's obviously too late now, isn't it?

Why? Because I'm like persona non grata, that's why.

That's me.

And can I just say, you're going to get your shot to be whatever it is that you

do want to be. I don't know about that. You know, Benji broke up with me.

It's going to be so hard.

to find that kind of patron again. You don't need him, or a fashion house, or a

patron, or anything. You don't need, you are all Polly.

Well, that is a lovely compliment.

Friend? I don't want to hold your hand, but yeah, friend.

Okay.

What is wrong with my eyebrows?

Look, it's not fatal.

I'm going to take you somewhere, and it's going to be a transformation. All

right, all right. Thank you so much. Enjoy.

I don't know. They are. I ordered them. Don't carb shame me. Just a little

happy.

Don't you know that shared carbs have no calories?

You know what?

I think I do.

Jim, you got a job.

You're a junior editor now. But we match.

I get your same order, so I want to be just like you.

Thank you.

Let's go. Go TA?

Yeah, I bursted it. The listing was misspelled.

Oh,

hey, did you get the, um... Yeah, more time on the budget.

Isn't it cute?

You and me together for the long run. Like you said, fate's funny like that.

Yeah, that's true.

Fate and...

A couple of well -timed texts from Jane Rabbit, yeah?

With flowing recommendation from me, of course.

This whole time, you thought of this and you just dropped into it.

So sweet.

Who's the last folder for assistant number one?

That's me. Thank you.

Congratulations on your promotion, Mari.

Thank you.

I really deserved it, didn't I?

Certainly.

Congratulations. Thank you.

Miranda Priestley's office.

Uh, draft of the lead story for next month?

Hard copy.

Thank you.
