"Ma'am, please stay still."
"Where am I? Who are you?"
"I'm attending your shift… "
"What are these?"
"You've been in an accident, ma'am."
"When?"
"Please, calm down."
"I will not."
"If you don't calm down, I can't give you your medication."
"For what?"
"Ma'am, Mrs Priestly, you've been in a coma."
"How long?"
"For - "
"How Long."
"A month, ma'am - please - stay still!"
"Psst. Emily!"
"What?"
"What do we do now?"
"What do you mean, what do we do now? We do our jobs. Now pick up that phone, Andrea."
"Irv? It's Mir-ah-nda. Ha-ha-ha. Some nonsense private suite at Mount Sinai. Yes… I was hoping to understand a little… well that's impossible. We have the September Issue. You know the conversation we had… no… that's not possible. I will tell you now. That is not possible."
"Is that her, Em?"
"Andrea. You look like a goose craning your neck like that."
"Sorry. It's just - she's out of her coma, right?"
"Stop talking! Here they come!"
" - I would like to present Runway's new editor-in chief, Jacqueline Follet. Please, everyone!"
"Oh, merci. Mr Ravitz here has too much high praise. I am just here to enable you all. I am here to help Runway achieve its success! I am, how you say - I am a fan of this company. It is simply, parfait."
"Em. She can't be serious."
"Hurry, Andrea. You know we'll be expected back at our desks."
"But they had such a spread!"
"The rules are still in place, Andrea."
"But Miranda drives the magazine!"
"Miranda is gone."
"What about my recommendation?"
"Andrea. She's coming."
"Ah, bonjour! Please, please, I'm just picking up my handbag. Did you know, at French Runway, I only had one assistant? Ah! Just kidding. You know, you can join us if you like. I certainly don't prohibit staff eating on the premises, do you hear? Ah, excusez-moi. I hear Mr Ravitz calling."
"Gisele. It's Mir-ah-nda. Yes, I'm fine, thank you. No - no. But I understand… well, things haven't changed… that is appalling. That is nonsense. You promised… "
"I'm glad to see the expenses have gone down. And how are you settling in?"
"Oh, de rien! It is just - oh, but there is such a staff. There is Ni-gel, and he is just fabulous. He has such a style. I have limited the couture, I found some people were stealing from the Closet."
"Thank you, in advance, for securing that. We did, er, put in security passes and cameras."
"Oh, but you know how people are. And Runway - "
"I anticipate this September issue will be a success."
"Alas, I have had to throw out much that Miranda had. It was just so unbelievable! The cost will rise, erm, but I am sure with the change in content, and then I have to go back to Pa-ris, and ah! You know, everything has to take time."
"There are a lot of moving parts at US Runway. I hope you are finding your feet?"
"In Pa-ris, we have baguettes and long summer days and we look each other in the eye. Here, I am finding, everyone certainly has their own agenda. Everyone is quite - well - "
"If it's too much?"
"Oh, no. La! It is not too much. I can only say, to you, monsieur, ha-ha, that perhaps, it is lonely at the top, no?"
"I don't find it. But please let me know if I can help."
"Of course! A-ha, au revoir… "
"Jacqueline? I have Gisele."
"Oh, if you would please close my office doors. Give me un moment, la… Gisele? Jacqueline! Yes, yes. I'm so glad - oh, and Tom? Oh, and you're going on holiday? Vacances? Ha-ha! But… we do have you booked for the cover… "
"Em. I'm serious."
"Oh, shut up Andrea. Just get on with it. Get on with this horrid life, like we all do."
