Miranda Priestly of ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ boasts some of the most savage lines in cinematic history.
Here are our favorites:
1.
Is there some reason that my coffee isnt here?
The Devil Wears Prada
Has she died or something?
Miranda expects all those who work for her to meet, if not exceed, her expectations.
And for Miranda, such a death would not be tragic, but a mere inconvenience.
Such a hiccup could throw off her entire day.
By all means, move at a glacial pace.
You know how that thrills me.
The Devil Wears Prada
3. hey bore someone else with your…questions.
Yet, Miranda is too busy to relay details someone lower on the ladder can communicate.
Shes already moved on to the next task, and your question is a distraction.
The Devil Wears Prada
Your train should already be leaving the station.
Andy can find Emily or Nigel or someone else to get the details.
Miranda is there to give the orders not the intricacies.
The Devil Wears Prada
All those who work for Miranda want to impress her.
Good work is expected.
Genius is not impressive in this field; its required.
The Devil Wears Prada
When Jocelyn suggests florals for an April issue, Miranda shoots her down with judgmental disdain.
How dare she be so predictable.
Her choice to speak such nonsense merely sucks precious air out of the room.
There you are, Emily.
How many times do I have to scream your name?
The fact that Miranda says this to Andy does not give Andy any impunity.
She is still in the wrong.
She should know Emily means Andy to Miranda.
Miranda cannot be bothered to remember her name.
Andy is no more than an assistant.
A pawn in her game of fashion and fanfare.
Miranda will remember Andys name once shes earned the respect to warrant the tiniest sector in Mirandas heavily-occupied mind.
Did you fall down and smack your little head on the pavement?
Oh, how idiotic in her naivete.
Miranda wants the unpublished manuscript.
Someone must be getting out.
Call everybody else that we know that has a jet Irv?
Call every this is your responsibi THIS IS YOUR JOB!
Miranda needs a flight home.
Theres only one problem: all flights are canceled as a vicious storm rages on outside.
However, Miranda does not take no for an answer.
The masses face hurdles she can jump.
This is a problem that enough phone calls should be able to fix.
Miranda: You have no sense of fashion.
Miranda is not one to shy away from an objective comment.
An insult to others that, to her, is no more than a declaration of the obvious.
Style and taste are not up to interpretation.
Andy should take it from her and find a pair of heels and a dress thats on trend.
Details of your incompetence do not interest me.
Emily confirmed an appointment for Miranda with Simone, but something has since gone wrong.
To Miranda, no matter who may be in the wrong, her staff is at fault.
Her staff should know better.
Do not provide excuses.
Fix the issue before Miranda must step in and do it herself.
10.Thats all.
Miranda says these two words a few times throughout the film.
She finishes conversations (or should we say one-way interactions?)
not with an expression of gratitude but with a dismissal.
Good luck, See you later, or Thank you are not in her lexicon.
Too suggestive of equality.
Miranda is not one to eschew indications of corporate hierarchy in favor of friendly bogus.
