That you can charge anything at all to the Runway account, but you must never, ever, leave your desk, or let Miranda's coffee get cold. And that at 3 a.m. on a Sunday, when your boyfriend s dumping you because you're always at work, if Miranda phones, you jump. But this is Andreas big break - it's going to be worth it in the end. Isn't it?
