Emily: I'm sorry, do you have some prior commitment? Some hideous skirt convention you have to go to?
Andy Sachs: Same Andy, better clothes.
Nate: I like the old clothes.
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.
Emily: Andrea, Runway is a fashion magazine, so an interest in fashion is crucial.
Andy Sachs: What makes you think I'm not interested in fashion?
Emily: I don't care if she was going to fire you or beat you with a red hot poker, you should've said no.
Emily: You don't deserve them, I mean you eat carbs, for Chrissake.
Miranda Priestly: By all means move at a glacial pace. You know how that thrills me.
Emily: A million girls would kill for this job.
Christian Thompson: You're a vision.
Miranda Priestly: Is there some reason that my coffee isn't here? Has she died or something?
Nigel: Oh, never mind. I'm sure you have plenty more poly-blend where that came from.
Andy Sachs: Learned a lot. In the end though, I kind of screwed it up.
Editor: I called over there for a reference, left word with some snooty girl. Next thing you know, I got a fax from Miranda Priestly herself... saying that of all the assistants she's ever had... you were, by far, her biggest disappointment. And, if I don't hire you, I am an idiot. You must have done something right.
Andy Sachs: What if I don't want this?
Miranda Priestly: Oh, don't be silly - everyone wants this. Everyone wants to be us.
Andy Sachs: I thought only the first assistant went to the benefit.
Miranda Priestly: Only when the first assistant hasn't decided to become an incubus of viral plague.
Andy Sachs: So none of the girls here eat anything?
Nigel: Not since two became new four and zero became the new two.
Andy Sachs: Well, I'm a six.
Nigel: Which is the new fourteen.
Nate: Why do women need so many bags?
Lilly: Shut up.
Nate: You have one. You put all your junk in it, and that's it. You're done.
Doug: Fashion is not about utility. An accessory is merely a piece of iconography used to express individual identity.
Lilly: Oh! And it's pretty.
Doug: That too.
Miranda Priestly: And this layout for the Winter Wonderland spread. Not wonderful yet.
Nigel: Come on. Miranda's pushed the run through up a half hour. And she's always 15 minutes early.
Andy Sachs: Which means?
Nigel: You're already late.
Emily: This is her, the new me.
Serena: I thought you were kidding.
Miranda Priestly: I need 10 or 15 skirts from Calvin Klein.
Andy Sachs: What kind of skirts?
Miranda Priestly: ...please bore someone else with your... questions.
Chosen answer: Yes, she slept with Christian (the blond guy).
