    Dialogue (Source: Netflix.com)

    Clip 1

    Sylvie: I thought Gregory Dupree was showing us. The Air France uniforms he’s designed for the pitch.
    ...

    Emily: Okay, Gregory now wants us to meet him at his ATELIER. Apparently, his redesign cannot be contained to a conference room.

    Clip 2:

    Sylvie: That was Pierre. He was very upset. His new store opens next week and he’s sounding very ERRATIC and paranoid. Ever since he sold his company to JVMA, he doesn’t know who he can trust.

    Clip 3:

    Emily: Pierre’s insecurities can certainly TAKE THE WHEEL, but just be patient with him. I mean, we encountered similar issues during Fashion Week.
