kiss up / presumptuous / pull off

Glee S04E03

 

 

So, I'm just goona ask you a couple of routine questions I ask all potential hires.

Who are your fashion icons?

 

and not to kiss up or anything, but ... you.

* kiss up 아부하다

(colloquial) One who flatters a supervisor, or superior, in order to get special attention

 

Have you done any writing on fashion?

Self journaling, mostly.

I did weekly updates

and blogs on Project Runway since season one,

 

Wave your magic wand,

Where would you be in four years?

 

Working here part-time,

graduation from NYADA

and uh starting my first Boradway show.

I know that sounds presumptuous.

* presumptuous 주제넘은, 건방진

 

Frankly, you should be more presumptuous.

This is New York, It's for dreamers.

It's for people like you who are just starting out,

and people like me who very much want to re-invent themselves.

 

You should dream very very big.

and then you should work incredibly hard

and make sure you do everything in your power to make it happen.

 

Look, Anna hired me because she said that the Web sites that I designed for my collections were inspired.

So neither myself  nor my team can let her down.

And that includes you.

Anybody who can pull off a hippo brooch deserves to be here.

* pull off (패션을) 소화해 내다.
