Oh God, Andy ... you look so chic.
Aw ... Thanks Em! You look so thin!
Do I? Oh, it's for Paris ... I'm on this new diet. Well I don't eat anything. And 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.
You thought I didn't know. I've known what was happening for quite some time. It just took me a little while to find a suitable alternative for Jacqueline, and that James Holt job was just so absurdly overpaid that of course she jumped at it. So I just had to tell Irv that Jacqueline was unavailable. Truth is, no one can do what I do, including her. Any of the other choices would have found that job impossible and the magazine would have suffered. Especially because of the list. The list of designers, photographers, editors, writers, models, all of whom were founded by me, nurtured by me and have promised me they will follow me whenever and if ever I choose to leave Runway. So he reconsidered. But I was very very impressed by how intently you tried to warn me. I never thought I would say this, Andrea, but I really, I see a great deal of myself in you. You can look beyond what people want, and what they need, and you can choose for yourself.
I don't think I'm like that. I couldn't do what you did to Nigel, Miranda. I couldn't do something like that.
Hmm. But you already did. To Emily.
That's not what I... no, no, that was different. I didn't have a choice.
Oh no, you chose. You chose to get ahead. You want this life, those choices are necessary.
But what if this isn't what I want? I mean, what if I don't wanna live the way you live?
Oh, don't be ridiculous, Andrea. Everybody wants this. Everybody wants to be us.
Hey Emily! It's Andy. Don't hang up. I have a favor to ask you.
You see, I have these clothes from Paris, and I don't have any place to wear them, so I was wondering if you could take them off my hands.
Well, I don't know. It's a huge imposition. I mean I'll have to get them taken in. I mean they'll drown me. But... I suppose I could help you out. I will have Roy pick them up this afternoon.
Thanks Em. Good luck!
You have some very large shoes to fill. I hope you know that.
Who are you?
I'm Andy Sachs, I just graduated from Northwestern University—
And what are you doing here?
Well, I think I could do a good job as your assistant, and, um... I came to New York to be a journalist, and I sent out letters everywhere, and I finally got a call from Elias Clark and met with Sherry up at Human Resources and- basically, it's this or Auto Universe.
So you don't read Runway.
No.
And before today you had never heard of me?
No.
And you have no style or sense of fashion.
Well, um, I think that depends on what you're …
No, no, that wasn't a question.
