Christian: Hey. Hey, Miranda girl.



Andy: Hi.



Christian: I was just thinking about you.



Andy: Oh, come on.



Christian: It's true.



Andy: No.



Christian: I, I'm profiling Gaultier for interview and, uh, making my Paris plans. I found myself wondering if, uh, you were gonna be there.



Andy: Well, actually, um, I am going.



Christian: Great. I'm staying in a fantastic little hotel in the Seventh... right across the street from the falafel restaurant that will change your life.



Andy: Sorry. I'll be too busy working. You'll have to find someone else's life to change.



Christian: Well, that's you said. I'm beginning to wonder if I can.



Andy: Lily. Lily, he's just a guy I know from work.



Lily: Yeah, that looked like work.



Andy: Look, you'remaking a big deal out of...



Lily: You know, the Andy I know is madly in love with Nate... is always five minutes early and thinks, I don't know, Club Monaco is couture. For the last 16 years, I've known everything about that Andy. But this person? This "glamazon" who skulks around in corners with some random hot fashion guy? I don't get her.



Andy: Lily.



Lily: Have fun in Paris.



Nate: You going to Paris?



Andy: Uh, yeah. It just happened.



Nate: I thought Paris's a big deal for Emily or...



Andy: Great. Now you're gonnagive me a hard timetoo?



Nate: Hey, Andy. Andy! Andy, what the hell is wrong with you?



Andy: I... I didn't have a choice, okay? I... Miranda asked me, and I couldn't say no.



Nate: I know. That's your answer for everything lately, "I didn't have a choice." Like this job was forced on you.



Andy: Nate, I get it, okay?



Nate: Like you don't make these decisions yourself.



Andy: You're mad because I work late all the time and because I missed your birthday party. And I'm sorry.



Nate: Oh, come on. What am I for?



Andy: You... You hateRunwayand Miranda. And you think fashion is stupid. You've made that clear.



Nate: Andy, I make port wine reductions all day. I'm not exactly in the Peace Corps. You know, I wouldn't care if you were out there pole dancing all night... as long as you did it with a little integrity. You used to say this was just a job. You used to make fun of the Runway girls. What happened? Now you've become one of them.



Andy: That's absurd.



Nate: That's okay. That's fine. Justown up toit. And then we can stop pretending like we have anything in common anymore.



Andy: You don't mean that, do you?



Nate: No, I do.



Andy: Well... maybe this trip is coming at a good time. Maybe we should take a break. Nate? I'm sorry. Just... one second?



Nate: You know, in case you were wondering... the person whose calls you always take, that's the relationship you're in. I hope you two are very happy together.
