MIRANDA: The girls' recital was absolutely wonderful. They played Rachmaninoff and everyone loved it, everyone except me because sadly I wasn't there.

ANDY: Miranda, I'm so sorry.

MIRANDA: Do you know why I hired you? I always hire the same girl: stylish, slender, of course worships the magazine. But so often they turn out to be disapponting and stupid. So you, with that impressive resumé and the big speech about your so-called work ethic, I thought you would be different. I said to myself, "Go ahead, take a chance, hire the smart, fat girl." I had hoped, my God, I lived on it... Anyway, you ended up disapponting me more than, more than the other silly girls.

ANDY: Uhm, I really did everything I could think of.

MIRANDA: That's all.
