Iconic Devil Wears Prada Quotes! 👠 

I work in retail, used to have a fabulous manager. We had a line of customers one day, I leaned over and whispered it to her, she cracked up so hard the rest of the day, I was sad when I had to tell her I didn’t actually make it up. 😅

my absolute favourite line from her!

Aries have entered the chat 😅

My favorite. I think it almost every time I ask the kids to do something

I think the only other person that could pull that line off is Snape

Was that not supposed to happen?

According to an interview she did with Anne Hathaway she couldn't hold the laughs for any of the takes she did for that line

​@@White_wolf0789yeah I sat a few clips of Emily trying to say the line and she couldn't say it without breaking so they just kept the shortest/smallest break in lol

😂😂😂me too

​@@NWCountryGirl17wow I never knew, this whole time I thought the laugh was intentional, it fits so well

Same 😂

❤️❤️❤️❤️

yesterday please 😂

That’s something my grandmother would say! OMG she was such a queen!😂😂😂❤

superb

My favorite 😂

That's excellent screenwriting because it has one other meaning: Groundbreaking = flowers break the ground/soil when they start to grow. And springtime is when many flowers usually begin to grow.

😅😅😅😅😅😅❤❤❤❤

@@_Just_Another_Guy smart

Agree. Perfection.

lol as someone who lacks Alll aspects of Streeps personality I’m going to use this!

I can think of a coworker that needs to hear this...

It’s actually “details” but yeah “tales” would make it more dramatic haha

@@poppypeppersno, it’s actually “tales.” The subtitles were wrong.

I always thought it was “the tales” as well but after listening closer I hear a more pronounced e, so DEtails.. but I agree that both work pretty well in this case.

Followed by "Everyone wants to be us." This line as it was originally written was "Everyone wants to be ME." Meryl Streep changed the wording to "us" because she thought "me" made Miranda sound too self-centered. Meryl made many other script changes. She insisted that Miranda had to be seen actually working, not just posing and showing off. She is the one who brought the laptop computer to Miranda's desk that she is seen working at several times. Meryl insisted that the scene of the editorial board (staff) meeting be kept in the movie because it showed Miranda as a leader. That scene, by the way, is the only scene in the entire movie that Anne Hathaway does NOT appear in and it is in the movie only due to Meryl's insistence. There is a movie reviewer here on RU-vid who says it is the most important scene in the movie because it displays Miranda's expertise and vast memory of fashion. There are other examples. It's almost as if Meryl should have been credited as a co-writer because she improved the script so much.

​@@markmh835I think she was so right to push for those details and that scene. I think showcasing just how good she was at her job, and not just being the bitchy boss, makes you empathize with her decision in the end between Nigel and Jacqueline, because you really do believe she did it for the magazine and not just her career. Truly, no one can do what she does because she is so good. At least in my opinion

Cuz that line is NOT suitable for this video. It's too dramatic. This skit is comical. Too bad they missed "hire the smart fat girl". That line was the best.

@@markmh835 I absolutely love that she did that. It shows how much she understands what makes her character and the movie work, and has thought about how her character would behave in the real world. The whole movie would be so much weaker if Miranda was just some manager that bosses around her staff. Instead she's shown to be a perfectionist that doesn't just boss her staff around but she's also insanely knowledgeable and good at her job.

Yo but she was a "troubled by success" kinda character too. Thats also what elevates the movie from an "ugly duckling" story to an actual compelling drama

I worked in this industry for years. They try to convey the brutality but don’t quite reach it. It is far worse than this movie but they do get one thing spot on. You either give up your personal life or fail. There are always 100+ naive, excited people waiting to take your place. Few last more than two years at the bottom.

Out of Aftica, fell in love with her in that movie with Robert Redford.

@@ianchang7150 mine was Kramer vs. Kramer. She was absolutely incredible in that movie - and put up with legit abuse from #DustinHoffman. There’s an interview clip with her on RU-vid about it. He was a straight up asshole to her, in the name of “art.” 🙄

😂

I love that line.

The way she said it is just ✨👌

You've had hours and hours to prepare LOL

I use it at work myself, jokingly of course.

This movie is quote machine!

@@OctobrisThat’s exactly it. It’s done so naturally, just like a women who is tired of working with incompetent people her entire life. A woman like that wouldn’t scream, throw a fit.

Love that line.

I fully identify with the character Meryl plays.

​@@joebloggs619 I would be worried if I identified with such a horrible person.

Me at 16. Ah, the 90's. Everyone was just completely obsessed with being as thin as humanly possible.

* "... And when I feel I'm about to faint I eat a cube of cheese "

I’m one stomach flu away from my goal weight is my fav. It’s so cunty lol

About the stomach flu, in the American Spanish dubbing was -diarrhea- sounded funnier.

I still say "no shant"😂

It's verging on obsessive how much I quote these two lines 😂

THIS! 🙌🏼

Seriously, Miranda is far more traumatic and terrifying than Cruella could dream of being!😂

It was actually Meryl's idea to act icy cold rather than a screaming boss. Miranda Priestley was actually exactly like Cruella in the books: loud, demanding, screaming.

Clint Eastwood influence

I love it too!!!

I loved it too. It was a statement of fact. I liked the line in which she discussed the trajectory of the color the girl was wearing: a top designer used it, and then it trickled on down until a couple of years later it was used for a shapeless sweater that wound up in the sale bin at Dress Barn. It’s the same way with interior design and colors used on interiors. My mom is an interior designer and has a special talent for color. She attended a seminar where they taught that budget motels purposely use colors that are outdated. If the colors on their sign, etc., are up-to-date, their target market will pass by, feeling that they cannot afford to stay there and do not belong. I am no fashionista. I am the opposite of my mom. I’m just saying that it’s interesting that all of this is on a subconscious level to the consumer, but there are people who are experts on it. That is why Miranda’s observation that the girl had no sense of fashion was a statement of fact rather than a comment intended to hurt. it was an issue of where she put her effort and attention. In fact she had no interest and did not have the knowledge.

😂😂😂😂

It's very old testament

You are absolutely right!! Never has a single 2-letter word so defined a character. That "line" should definitely have been at the end of this montage. 😱😊👍

And to think.she was the last choice

'Can you spell Gabbana?' actually made me grasp 😂

😂😂😂😂😂

Drives me insane...!!!

I use that phrase when somebody is boring me. Twice directly to my boss.

Absolutely! See if you can find the outakes of the film - the most were Stanley's - they were the funniest 😂

And yet the fashion world kisses Wintour's ass without hesitation. And Wintour loves it. 💋

People who act this way are just horrendously insecure. If you come upon such a creature, leave. Quickly. There is so much beauty in the world that this kind of behavior doesn’t deserve acknowledgement or rent in one’s brain.

...In your opinion.

​@@iseleyIt's a pretty universal opinion.....

@@mpettway6982 No, not really. I see just as many people who adore Miranda as people who hate her.

Anne Hathaway, has the best makeovers in any Movie she is in like Prinesss Diaries.

That is some low standard.

​@@blood.of.fenrir5575 We all think our opinions are a little better than those of others, but you don't even know how opinions work...

@@northstar2621 generalisations exist evolutionary for a reason. Meryl is great actress but hot she is not.

@@blood.of.fenrir5575 And you get to decide it's the general opinion? No, you don't. And a difference in opinion is not a low standard. Because your opinion is not THE standard. There is no standard. That's how opinions work.

@@northstar2621 no, I have votes about hottest actress ever. Or I have standards of my country. And that is my opinion. It's like an ass, everyone has one. Don't be so offended. She is below average in beauty for most of my country and my friends, hence generalisation. Bye bye.

How quickly?

@@fe5018 I've worked with my Miranda for a little over a year. She liked me a lot, but was very instable, had angry issues and was constantly bullying employees. I resigned when I saw how she treated "Emily" and realised that would be me in a few years. I left with anxiety and depression. I'm better now, therapy helps. Funny thing, my Emily is still working with Miranda.

@@fe5018 less than a year! Seriously... He once yelled at me cause his lunch wasn't ready at 1PM...It came at 1:02.

Unfortunately so have I. 🥴😡

I have, then accidentally tripped her down the stairs 🥺

I... hope not 😮

You don't hear or see much from her since her best friend Harvey Weinstein went to prison for r*ping women. Meryl referred to her friend Harvey as "A God". Don't let her fool you into thinking she's a good person because she's a solid actress. She knew of her best friends behavior and did nothing to stop it. Including reporting it to the police.

I read that that was a complete ad lib by Emily Blount. It was not in the script. 😊👍❤
