The Devil Wears Prada

Other mistake: When Andy is walking by the fountain in Paris, her phone starts ringing. When she checks to see who it is, Miranda's name and number shows up; however, if you look closely, the phone is actually showing an outgoing call TO Miranda, not FROM Miranda.

Other mistake: Andie lives at Broome and Orchard, in the heart of the Lower East Side. Average rent for a one-bedroom apartment (which they have) was $2217 at that time, and Nate and Andie both make barely minimum wage. That rent would have taken their *entire* combined salary in 2006. They didn't depend on help from their parents, since Andie's surprised when help arrives. And the apartment wasn't rent-controlled; Andie and Nate aren't from New York.

Suggested correction: This submission is making assumptions. When is it stated that both Andie and Nate are earning "barely minimum wage"? They may not be upper-middle-class, but their two incomes are never described as "barely minimum." In one scene, the friends raise their drinks in a toast to "jobs that pay the rent." Also, Andie might be surprised to receive money from her father, but we know nothing about Nate's family.

Audio problem: When Andy is talking to Nigel during the photo shoot in the park, her mouth is not quite in sync with what we hear during her last line of dialogue, despite the people walking in front of her.

Miranda Priestly: What about Testino? Where are we on that?
Nigel: Zac Posen's doing some very sculptural suits. So I suggested that, uh, Testino shoot them at the Noguchi Garden.
Miranda Priestly: Perfect. Thank God somebody came to work today.

More quotes from The Devil Wears Prada

Question: Can anyone please explain to me the deal about Nigel not getting a job in Paris? He thought he got promoted then Miranda picked someone else or something and he says something like 'when the time is right, she'll pay me back'. I've seen this film loads of times but I've never fully understood what happened. Thanks.

Chosen answer: Miranda was going to be replaced by Jaqueline and forced to retire. Miranda worked a deal to give Nigel's new job to Jaqueline instead. Since Jaqueline now has a job she wants, there is no one eager or qualified to replace Miranda. Miranda keeps her job. Nigel doesn't get a new job and must remain with Miranda. Miranda gets what she wants, Jaqueline gets what she wants, Nigel gets screwed, but maintains the (most likely futile) hope that Miranda will pay him back by some other means in due course.

Answer: Nigel was going to be James Holt's partner But Miranda made it so Jacqueline got or instead so Miranda could remain Editor in Chief at Runway.
