[English]

Ok, so I'm screwing it up.

I don't want to, I just wish that I knew what I could do to...

Nigel?

Nigel, Nigel

No

I don't know what you expect me to do.

There's nothing in this whole closet that'll fit a size six.

-I can guarantee you.

-These are all sample sizes- two and four.

- All right. We're doing this for you. And- - A poncho?

You'll take what I give you and you'll like it.

- We're doing this Dolce for you. - Hmm!

And shoes

- Jimmy Choo's. - Hmm.

- Manolo Blahnik. - Wow.

Nancy Gonzalez. Love that

Okay, Narciso Rodriguez. This we love

- Uh, it might fit. It might. - What?

Okay. Now, CHANEL. You're in desperate need of CHANEL.

Darling, shall we?

We have to get to the beauty department, and God knows how long that's going to take

I mean, I have no idea why Miranda hired her.

Me neither. The other day, we were in the beauty department.

She held up the Shu Uemura eyelash curler and said, "What is this?"

I mean, I just knew from the moment I saw her-

she was going to be a complete and utter disast-

Miranda Priestly's office.

No, actually she's not available, but I'll leave a word.

Ok, thanks. Bye.

How did-

Are you wearing the Ch-

The Channel boots? Yeah, I am.

You look good.

What?

She does.

Oh, shut up, Sue.

Key Grammar Structures

• I don't want to, I just wish that I knew what I could do to...

  ➔ Subjunctive mood (wish) + Modal verb (could)

  ➔ The use of 'wish' introduces a hypothetical situation, expressing a desire for something different than reality. 'Could' expresses possibility or ability in the past or present, dependent on circumstances. The sentence expresses a regret and a desire for a different outcome. "I wish" is followed by the past simple, even though the desire is about the present.

• There's nothing in this whole closet that'll fit a size six.

  ➔ Future contraction ('ll) + Relative clause

  ➔ The contraction 'll' is a common way to shorten 'will' in informal speech and writing. 'That'll fit' acts as a relative clause modifying 'nothing', specifying what won't fit. It demonstrates a confident assertion of a negative condition. "that'll" is a contraction of "that will"

• We're doing this for you. And-

  ➔ Present continuous for future arrangement

  ➔ Using the present continuous ('We're doing') to talk about a planned future event. It implies a definite arrangement. The 'and-' indicates a pause or interruption in speech.

• You'll take what I give you and you'll like it.

  ➔ Future simple (will) + Imperative mood

  ➔ The use of 'will' expresses a strong prediction or determination. The second clause ('you'll like it') is a forceful statement, bordering on a command. The structure demonstrates a power dynamic. "You'll" is a contraction of "you will".
