So many people

Andy was griping about her boss to Nigel.
NIGEL: You have no idea how many legends have walked these halls, and what's worse... you don't care. Because this place... where so many people would die to work, you only deign to work. And you want to know why she doesn't kiss you on the forehead and give you a gold star on your homework at the end of the day. (touches her forehead with a drawing pen) Wake up, sweetheart.
<From the movie "The Devil Wears Prada">
