Devil Wears Prada Speak

Based on quantitative research and longitudinal studies, I've determined that any situation in the whole realm of human experience can be expressed in one of 10 quotes from the Devil Wears Prada. In fact, it is entirely possible to get through life only uttering these 10 lines. They are as follows:


  1. Confusion Where are the belts?
  2. Praise Thank God somebody came to work today.
  3. Compassion Has she died or something?
  4. Trust Find me that piece of paper I had in my hand yesterday morning.
  5. Frustration Why is no one REAdy?
  6. Surprise Que belle surprise!
  7. Rejection Florals? For spring? Ground breaking.
  8. Impatience By all means move at a glacial pace. You know how that thrills me.
  9. Disgust What's that? I don't want that?
  10. Conclusions That's all.
If there is an emotion which is not on the list, you probably don't need to express it.

It really works, try it!

CW: I'm taking you out to dinner tonight, dear.
JZ: Que belle surprise.
CW: I could go for some sushi, how about you?
JZ: Sushi? For dinner? Ground breaking.
CW: How about a bowl of pho instead?
JZ: Thank God somebody came to work today.
CW: Do you wanna hang out after dinner?
JZ: That's all.
