Screenplay by Aline Brosh McKenna
Based on the novel by Lauren Weisberger
If you want to get the rules of a world across smoothly, a great technique is to make one character a fish out of water to whom the other characters must constantly explain everything. Here, the fish is Andy.
Note how all the details about how to prepare the office and work for Miranda add a total fearfulness and deep dread (i.e. - gleeful anticipation) of her when she’s not even in the scene.
From Emily’s overzealous explanation, we also get a sense of her superiority complex AND how the Paris trip means everything to her. Both setups come into play later.
