hasn't decided to become...

an incubus of viral plague.

You'll come and help Emily

- That's all.

- Right.

These are all of the guests.

Miranda invites everyone.

We have to make sure that they all think

she knows exactly who they are.

And I've been studying for weeks.

I have to learn all these by tonight?

No, don't be silly, Andrea.

These too.

Look, you better just start without me, okay?

I'll get there as soon as I can.

Andy, come on, it's his birth-

Okay, but hurry.

Oh, please, believe me, I will.

This is the last thing that I wanna-

Ooh, I love that. Uh, I'll call you

the second I'm leaving, okay?

- Will that fit me?

- Oh, yeah

A little Crisco and some fishing line,

and we're in business.

[ Sarcastic Chuckle ]

[ Woman Singing ]

Well, nothing really. I mean, this is-

I mean, really, this is

the social event of the season.

[ Continues ]

Oh, oh, my God.

Andy, you look so chic.

Oh, thanks, Em. You look so thin.

- Do I?

- Yeah.

Oh, it's for Paris.

I'm on this new diet.

It's very effective.

Well, I don't eat anything.

And then when I feel like I'm about to faint,

I eat a cube of cheese.

- Well, it's definitely working.

- I know.

I'm just one stomach flu

away from my goal weight.

[ Man Singing ]

[ Ends ]

That's John Folger, the new

artistic director of the Chelsea Rep.

- John, thanks for coming.

- Hey there.

- [John ] Oh, thank you

It's always nice seeing you

- Stop fidgeting.

I'm sorry. I'm so late.

Just deal with it.

You have to be here.

Emily, come here.

Isn't thatJacqueline Follet

from French Runway?

Oh, my God, and Miranda hates her.

She was supposed to arrive

after Miranda left.

- I didn't- Oh.

- Yeah.

- Miranda, fabulous event as always.

- You broughtJacqueline.

- Surprise

- Quelle surprise

Oh, wonderful. We're so happy you were

able to come to our little gathering.

Of course.

I plan my whole year around this.

Well, we're so grateful that you do.

- Ciao

- Have you gotten my note?

Yes, I did.

We'll discuss it on Wednesday.

- Yes, I agree. No business tonight.

- Not tonight.

- Enjoy.

- [ Sniffles ]

Em.

Oh, thanks. Thanks.

Oh, um- Oh, my God.

I just can't remember what his name is.

I just saw his name this morning

on the list

It's- Oh, I know this.

It's something to do with-

Wait, he was- he was part of the-

Oh, God, I know this. Um-

It's Ambassador Franklin, and that's

the woman that he left his wife for, Rebecca.

- Rebecca. Ambassador.

- Miranda.

- You look fabulous

- Oh, very kind

- Thank you.

- [ Chattering Continues ]

- Look at you.

- Hello.

You're-You're a vision.

- Oh. [ Scoffs ]

- Thank God I saved your job.

[ Stammers, Chuckles ] You know,

I figured out a few things on my own too.

Turns out,

I'm not as nice as you thought.

I hope not.

Well, if it weren't

for the stupid boyfriend...

I'd have to whisk you away

right here and now.

- Do you actually say things like that to people?

- Evidently.

[ Giggles ]

Well, I gotta go.

Are you sure? 'Cause my editor

for New York Magazine is inside...

and, you know,

I could introduce you two.

- You sent over your stuff

for me to look at? Remember?

- Yeah.

All right, I gotta admit, I only read a couple.

It was a very large packet you sent.

- Yeah.

- But what I did read wasn't half bad.

And, you know, I think-

I think you have a talent, Andy.

He should meet you.

Why don't you come in?

Just for one drink.

Um, okay, yeah.

I guess I could for one-

No, I can't.

I'm sorry, but I have to go.

All right.

Give my best to the boyfriend.

Roy, I'm sorry.

Can you go any faster?

I'm sure Nate will understand.

Yeah.

[ TV, Indistinct ]

Hey

Happy birthday.

Nate, I'm so sorry.

I kept trying to leave,

but there was a lot going on.

And, you know, I didn't have a choice.

Don't worry about it.

[ Grunts ]

I'm gonna go to bed.

Can we at least talk about this?

You look really pretty.

[ Miranda ]

Andrea?

- Do you have the Book?

- Oh. Uh-

Mm.

Paris is the most important week

of my entire year.

I need the best possible team with me

That no longer includes Emily.

Wait. You want me to-

No, Miranda.

[ Exhales ]

Emily would die.

Her whole life is about Paris.

She hasn't eaten in weeks.

L-I can't... do that.

Miranda, I can't.

If you don't go, I'll assume you're

not serious about your future...

at Runway or any other publication.

The decision's yours

That's all.

[ Woman Singing ]

[ Laughing ]

[ Continues ]

- [ Continues ]

- Hey, Andy.

- Hey.

- You coming to bed anytime soon?

Uh, yeah. Five minutes, okay?

[ Ends ]

[ Fax Printing ]

[ Clears Throat ]

Andrea, don't forget to tell Emily.

Do it now.

- [ Line Ringing ]

- Don't pick up.

- Don't pick up. Don't pick up. Don't pick-

- Hi.

- Emily.

- Hi, hi. Sorry I'm late.

It's just Miranda wanted

some scarves from Hermes.

And she did tell me yesterday,

but I forgot like an idiot.

And so I freaked out, of course.

Emily, Emily, l-I need to talk to you.

I called Martine at home, and she opened

the shop early. Whoa! I'm sorry.

She opened the shop early for me,

so I got them, which is great.

Okay. Um, Emily,

wh-when you come in...

there's something

I have to talk to you about.

- Well, I hope it's not another Miranda problem.

- Not exactly.

Well, good, because I've got so much

to deal with before I go. I swear to God-

- [ Gasps ]

- [ Horn Honks, Tires Skid ]

- [ Clamoring ]

- [ Woman ] Oh, my God!

Emily?

[ Woman On PA, Indistinct ]

[ Elevator Bell Dings ]

I don't care if she was gonna fire you

or beat you with a red-hot poker!

You should have said no.

Emily, I didn't have a choice.

- Oh. Please.

- You know how she is

- That is a pathetic excuse.

- [ Door Opens ]

Thanks.

Do you know what really just...

gets me about this whole thing...

is that, you know, you're the one who said

you don't really care about this stuff

And you don't really care about fashion.

You just wanna be a journalist.

What a pile of bollocks!

Emily, I know you're mad.

I don't blame you.

Face it, you sold your soul the day

you put on that first pair ofJimmy Choo's.

I saw it And you know what really

just kills me about this whole thing

is the clothes that you're gonna get.

I mean, you don't deserve them.

You eat carbs, for Christ's sake.

God, it's so unfair!

- Emily.

- Just go.

- Emily, l-

- I said go!

[ Sighs ]

- [ Doug ] You are going to Paris

for the couture shows?

- [ Andy ] Mm-hmm

- That's the coolest fashion event of the year

- Mm-hmm.

- I mean, who are you going to see, Galliano?

- Yeah.

- And Lagerfeld and Nicholas Ghesquiere.

- Yep.

- Yes. Okay, now you're scaring me.

- [ Chuckles ]

- Hey.

- Hey.

- This show is amazing. I am so proud of you.

- [ Lily ] Thank you

Okay, start with the photos in the back

and work your way forward.

That is the way I designed it.

It is brilliant.

- You will love it

- Of course.

And you, I have somebody

I want you to meet, okay?
