All language subtitles for sex and the city s06e18

When you live in New York City,

it can take all your energy
to stay in vogue.

So when Enid Frick,
my old boss at Vogue,

wanted to meet me for lunch,

I was eager to hear what she had for me.

Carrie, I need to ask you a favor.

Apparently, this would be about
what I had for her.

I wanted to invite you to a party
that I'm throwing a week from Saturday.

It's for an amazing couple,
Rama Patel and Andre DiBiachi.

They make documentary films.

Oh, well, unless I'm doing the catering,
it sounds like a fun favor.

There'll be a lot of couples
from the art world

and I thought maybe you could
bring your Aleksandr Petrovsky.

-Done, is that it?
-No.

I was hoping you might...

I can't believe I have to ask this.

Does he have a single friend
that you could bring along for me?

-A date?
-Well, the thing is,

it's shaping up to be mostly couples,
and I'm not a couple.

And there are no exciting prospects,

so I thought that someone from his crowd
might be right for me.

Please never mention this conversation
to anyone at Condé Nast.

Excuse me, do you know what you want?

Ah, yes, I'll have the Dorado.

Ah, the Dorado,
this is a much larger fish,

so this fish we recommend
for two people.

See? You have to be a couple
just to order lunch in this town.

I'll have the Dorado as well.

Do you even like Dorado?

Because if this is a pity Dorado,
I can have crab cakes.

We'll have the Dorado.

Very good.

Um, the only thing is...

I'm not sure if Aleksandr is a, uh,

"Let's set people up" kind of guy.

Carrie, I got you a job,
you get me a man.

Later that evening,

the couple I was in
had a couple of hours

to prepare a dinner party
for a couple of couples.

Your friends enjoy red wine?

My friends enjoy all wine.

Yes. We'll have the Barolo.

Hey, uh, do you have
any single male friends?

-Are you tired of me already?

It's... It's for this... friend of mine.

I have a friend...

He's a food critic.

Perfect!

Is this really how one finds love?

No, it's just what we do
to distract ourselves

until the real thing comes along.

Now I have a question for you.

Oh, sorry, all my friends are taken.

Wow.

I've never said that before. Hmm.

You know, I'll be in Paris
for some time with my exhibition.

I'm going next week,
and I am not sure when I'll come back.

Unfortunately,
having a man leave me for Paris

was not foreign to me.

I am hoping you will come, huh?

Sure, I'll come
for the opening, and um...

Maybe another weekend also.

No, you misunderstand.

I am hoping you'll come and be with me.

In Paris?

Yes.

For who knows when we'll come back?

Yes. I need you there.

But this was foreign to me.

-Ah, the caviar.

For most women,
the goal of a dinner party

is to have your friends feel comfortable
around your boyfriend.

I think my maid is using my vibrator.

Other times you wish
your friends were not

quite so comfortable.

I don't think you're supposed
to say maid anymore.

I don't think we're supposed
to say "vibrator" over dinner.

I'm telling you,
I went into the kitchen to get it--

Wait, why was it in the kitchen?

I like to mix it up.

But yesterday, the batteries were dead.

They were new the last time I used it,

and I haven't used it
since Smith came back.

Oh, baby, that's sweet.

Now, maybe in the other republics

people like to share vibrators,
but this is America.

Land of plenty!

I think you could have
a potential lawsuit on your hands.

What, breaking and vibrating?

As long as it's not entering.

That's a beautiful piano. You play?

-Yeah, I do.
- Yeah?

You know any Billy Joel?

Mmm. I am not familiar...

"Uptown Girl"?

"Always a Woman"?

"Piano Man"?

Tell us about
your sculpture exhibition in Paris.

They are not technically sculpture.

Oh, sorry.

They're, uh, large scale
light installations

integrated with video imaging--

That's... That's fine.

I don't like Paris.
Too much attitude.

And what's with the toilet paper?

Paris is the best city in the world.

Easy, fella, you're talking
to New Yorkers here.

New York is wonderful,
but there is nowhere like Paris.

You'll see, Carrie.

Are you going for the opening?

Yes, she's coming with me...

to live.

[stutters] Well, we...

We hadn't actually discussed
the details,

but, yes, I have been invited
to go to Paris.

Later, my friends wanted
a tour of the apartment,

AKA, "Time to ask me
what the hell was going on."

You would go live with him?

I... I don't know--

When were you planning to tell us?

No, no, he just sprang this
on me two hours ago.

-How long would you go?
-Where would you live?

Is there a guest room?

Are you really thinking of going?

I'm not sure!

I haven't digested it yet.

I'm still digesting dinner.

-This is so exciting!
-I know!

My boyfriend has just asked me
to go to Paris with him!

This is the most romantic thing
that has ever happened to me.

What do you think
they're doing down there?

Not having a Billy Joel
sing-along, that's for sure.

Ladies, time's up.

I can't pretend to be
one of the boys any longer.

So, I spoke to my girlfriends

and they have
a few questions about Paris.

But you are
the one who's going.

Well, we don't know about that yet.

I mean...

How could this work?
Would I get my own place?

Why would you get your own place?

Well, I don't know.
I've never done this before.

You'll live with me.

I have a beautiful apartment
on the Left Bank,

but it's being remodeled,
so we would stay at the Plaza Athénée.

Okay, but are we talking a year?

Indefinitely? Don't I need
to learn French?

Would I be able to work there?

And what about my cell phone?
Would it work there?

So many questions.

Which is yours?

I can't remember. I think
I drank too much Barolo at dinner.

Okay.

Here's one of mine.

What about my apartment here?
Would I sublet it?

I will pay for your apartment.

Well, that's crazy,
I can't let you do that.

No, why?

I have plenty of money.

But I don't have plenty
of Carrie Bradshaws.

And I've always wanted to learn French
and drink wine before noon,

so, basically it's my fantasy complete
with Parisian parties

and museum openings.

But for how long?

As long as it's fun. Indefinitely.

So you'd be moving there.

No, 'cause I'd still have
my apartment here.

Which he'd be paying for.

He can certainly afford it.

Do you think you might get married?

No, that's...

I don't think that's the point.

Then what is he promising you?

Um, the world?

But what about your job?

Your column is all about New York.

You're all about New York.
How would you--

I... I don't know!

How can you people still have questions?

I got all your questions answered,
and they were good answers, by the way,

so this is the time when everybody
should be really excited for me.

Well, we are excited, it's fabulous.

No, forget it, forget it.

No, I think it's really romantic.

Then stop killing it with questions.

We just want to make sure
you think this through.

I am thinking it through.

But it's a nice offer,

and it would be nice
if my friends could be happy for me.

Especially, when I've always
been happy for them.

Carrie, we are happy for you.

Anyone wanna talk about cancer?

Anybody?

They say the unexamined life
is not worth living,

but what if the examining
becomes your life?

Is that living or just procrastinating?

And what if all those "helpful" lunches
and late night phone calls to friends

have made us all girl talk
and no girl action?

Is it time to stop questioning?

Certain questions
should never be asked by anyone,

especially a husband...

You think someone's getting
a little chunky?

Harry!

I'm talking about the dog!

Elizabeth Taylor
had gained four pounds,

which, for a dog who used
to weigh eight pounds, seemed excessive.

Hi. Can you tell me
where the diet dog food is?

Oh, a Cavalier.
She's beautiful. May I?

Yes, she is beautiful,
but she's getting a little...

...fat.

Oh, she's not fat.

You're right, that is an ugly word.
She's full-figured.

No, she's pregnant.

Honey!

I got your message.

So the dog's knocked-up?

Yes, she's pregnant.

Because everyone
around me gets pregnant.

Just not me.

It's not like she planned it.

She's a dog.

Exactly!

She's not even thinking
about it and bam!

On her first try...

Well, it might have been her first time,
but it was with at least eight dogs.

Eight mutts!

And now we are gonna have
to raise her whole trampy

un-pedigreed family!

Elizabeth.

Mommy can't look at you right now.

Miranda just doesn't like him.

This is all about Billy Joel.

It's not about Billy Joel,
it's about you.

We're not going
to encourage you to cross an ocean.

We're selfish bitches
who like you in New York.

Well, I like me in New York, too.

But I really like him.
He's great, isn't he?

Yes. A bit arrogant,
but he's got the goods to back it up.

And he can be really sweet.

Then he's got it all.

Then why does Miranda not like him?

Oh, she doesn't not like him.
She doesn't know him.

She didn't try to get to know him.

She didn't ask him
one question all night,

and she is all about the questions.

Well, here's a question.
Why do you care?

Have you ever heard me
once ask what anybody thinks

about my boyfriend?

I've never heard you
use the term boyfriend.

My point is, it doesn't matter.

Nobody knows
what goes on behind closed doors.

You know the most annoying thing?

-What's annoying?
-Miranda has a point.

What about work and everything?

Maybe I can't leave New York.

I don't know how I'd do some place else.

Believe me, your fabulousness
will translate.

And nobody says he gets
to dictate the terms.

Figure out how to do it
so you're comfortable.

Maybe half the time you're there,
half the time I'm there.

Well, now you're being too supportive.

Later, I still had questions
filling my head,

but at least they were in French...

Are you coming?

Yeah, I... I'm just putting
my earrings on.

No, to Paris.

Oh.

Well...

I haven't decided yet.

I'm inviting you to go
to France, not to jail.

I just have--

More questions?

Is it possible?

Uh... Things to figure out.

My whole life is here.

Could... Could we...

stay in New York
and then just go to Paris

for a few months for your show?

Then it wouldn't feel like we're moving.

I need to be in Paris now.

I have been here for three years.

I'm finished with New York.

It's time for Paris.

But, I'm not finished with New York.

Uh, maybe we could...

do long-distance for a while.

You mean, back and forth?

It's never worked for me.

You know, someone meets someone,
someone gets bored.

I don't know.

Voulez-vous an ultimatum?

Normally, a couple doesn't go
from an ultimatum to a party,

but we were in-charge
of bringing something very important.

Carrie, so glad you came.

Oh, hi. Uh, Enid...

-This is--
-Aleksandr Petrovsky.

I'm thrilled.

Pleasure to meet you.

And this is Martin Grable.

Hi.

Looks like it's gonna
start snowing out there,

they say it's gonna be reminiscent
of the '74 nor'easter.

Hello.

Martin is a food critic for Bon Appetit.

Fascinating.

Uh, the coat check is right
around the corner.

He's very sweet. And smart.

He's a hobbit.

Carrie Bradshaw!

Where the fuck have you been hiding!

Lexi Featherston was one
of New York's legendary party girls,

who always ended up on Page Six
because of her bar hopping

and her bed hopping.

I'm gonna go up to the roof
and have a smoke,

I'll be back in five.

He's just so pretentious.

Are we still talking about him?

It's not him.
I've been thinking about this,

and it's how she is around him.

She's different, and not in a good way.

She didn't laugh all night.

Not once.

Miranda, no offense,
but you never think anyone

is good enough for you and your friends.

You didn't think I was good enough.

That's not true.

Yes, it is, and it's fine.
I knew you'd come around.

"Large scale light installations."

-What the fuck is that?

All right, he is kind
of full of himself, but--

-Thank you!
-Let's not wake the kid, huh?

Miranda, if she moves, it'll be okay.

You'll talk, you'll visit.

I bet she won't go.

She can't leave New York.
She's got too much here.

Yeah, the best raw milk white cheddar
I ever had was from a farm in...

Guess where?

Oh, I don't--

-New York!
-Oh.

We now rival England
for the best cheddar in the world.

An hour later, I had somehow
ended up on Enid's date.

Thanks.

Actually, uh, raw milk
couldn't even be used in the States

until recently
because it isn't pasteurized.

I mean, it basically goes
from the cow right to you.

And Enid
had somehow ended up on mine.

That's priceless!
I never liked IM Pei either.

Oh, Martin, can you excuse me
just for a minute?

-Sure.
-Thank you.

Excuse me.

You know, I have to tell you,
I have been a fan of your work

for longer than I'd like to admit.

I have been doing my work for longer
than I'd like to admit.

-Hi.
-Oh, Carrie, I love this man.

Yes, I see that.

Would anybody like a drink?

Oh, are you always this attentive?

I'd love a vodka martini.

-Carrie?
-Oh, no, I'm fine, thanks.

One vodka martini coming up.

Oh, Carrie, why aren't I with him?

Because I am?

What are you doing?

What?

All right, I'm sorry. It's not fair.

He's my age and you've got him and...

And I am in no-man's land, literally.

Uh, no man anywhere.

Men can date anyone,
any age, but let's be frank,

most of them prefer the bimbos, so...

If you're a successful
50-something woman,

there's a very small pool.

It's... It's very small...

It's a wading pool, really.

So why are you swimming
in my wading pool?

It was another question
I wasn't prepared to answer.

I need to go to the bathroom.

Yeah, it's down the hall.

[Carrie] Outside, the snow
was starting to come down.

-And inside, it was going up.

Hey, want some?

Oh. No, thanks.

Close the door, close the door.

Wow, do people still do coke?

Uh, no, unfortunately.

God, Carrie, I'm 40 years old.

Can you fucking believe it?
Don't answer that.

Remember when we used to go to Tunnel?
We were like, five.

Need to use the John?

Oh, no, I was just trying
to get away for a minute.

Oh, Euro-intellectuals.

I don't know why I pulled strings
to get an invite

to this piece of shit party.

I'm so glad to see you though.

We're the only two single girls here!

Well, actually, I'm with someone.

Fuck you!

And speaking
of little piece of shit parties...

Babe!

No, Harry,
I cannot come to bed right now

because someone left me
a little present,

because someone
is too pregnant to hold it in.

Yeah, well, "someone"
isn't holding it in anymore.

In fact, someone
is giving birth in the bathroom.

-Right now?
-Honey, it's time.

Elizabeth Taylor, mommy's coming!

That night, Charlotte embraced
her maternal instinct

and three puppies.

Aw, little babies.

And I embraced my boyfriend
for as long as I still had him.

So, now Rama and I split our time
between Los Angeles and Calcutta.

He splits his time.

Rama hates Los Angeles.

Frozen yogurt is not culture.

So she stays in our home in Calcutta
while I edit our movies in Los Angeles.

But I get "final Calcutta."

Nice to meet both of you.

-You, too.
-Nice meeting you.

So, they aren't together
all the time, they seem happy.

Carrie, I don't want that.

I want you wake up,
you see me, I see you,

we go for dinner,
we sit in cafés. Life.

Well, I want you every day too,
but I have a life here.

Yes.

But what do you want to come home to?

What do you want your life to be?

Carrie, you have a lighter?

Oh, no, sorry,
I don't smoke anymore.

Oh, fuck you!

Anyway, I'm just a huge fan
of the pomegranate.

Do either of you have a light?

There's no smoking in here,
please go outside.

There is no outside.
It's fucking snowing.

Ooh, a candle.

She was rather rude.

-I don't even know how she got in here.

Hey, how do you open
this fucking thing?

Excuse me. Miss, could you keep it down?

You keep it down.

Fuckin' geriatrics.

Now, our hostess
has already said there's no smoking.

When did everybody stop smoking?

When did everybody pair off?

This used to be
the most exciting city in the world,

and now it's nothing but smoking
near a fucking open window.

New York is over.

O-V-E-R!

Over. No one's fun anymore!

Whatever happened to fun?

God, I'm so bored I could die!

-Whoa, oh...

Oh, God!

It was the first time
Lexi had ever left a party early.

An hour later,
the snow really started to fall.

The first time that winter.

And it didn't stop.

The city was silent.

There were no more questions.

Only white noise.

I want to go to Paris.

It was a day made for first snows...

-Look, Brady.
- Look!

-Snow angels...

Ah! Whoo!

...and staying home
with family.

See that?

That's called snow.

Two days later,
we said goodbye to our snow angel.

Wait, she tripped on her Manolo?

Stanny, the girl died.
It's sad, the end.

I'll say it's sad.

The "scan-dal"
of the New York social scene,

and I missed it.

I need details, last words.

"I'm so bored, I could die."

No.

Hey! Hi.

-Hey.
-Hey.

This funeral is better
than fashion week.

I know! Marcus is saving us seats
next to Hugh Jackman.

I'll see you in there.

I didn't know Lexi had so many friends.

Well, she wasn't always so tragic.
Remember the '80s?

She was the "it" girl.

I thought I was the "it" girl.

Well, it's your word
against a dead girl's, so you win.

You guys, we're supposed
to be in mourning.

We are.

It's the end of an era.

Yep, the party's officially over.

Ladies, if you are single in New York
after a certain point,

there is nowhere to go but down.

Eighteen stories down to be exact.

-I'm going to Paris.

-That's so exciting!
-Good for you!

Because you're afraid
of going out a window?

No.

Because I want to open a new one.

What about your job?

I quit.

What?

-When did you--
-Stop.

We are done with
the question portion of the program.

I'm happy.

I'm going.

Now, let's go say goodbye to Lexi.

Well, it really is the end of an era.

After the funeral,

a couple of friends
walked a couple of blocks.

You want to go get something to eat?

I'm not hungry,
but I'll go sit with you.

Okay.

Isn't Gordon's around here?

It's two blocks.

I can't believe you quit your job.

Couldn't you write the column there?

No. They weren't really
into my "American Girl in Paris" angle.

New York paper, New York girl.

It got to be such a hassle, so...

Huh.

Are they gonna have
someone new write it or...

Don't know.

Probably some 29-year-old
single girl with all new problems.

I think you're making a mistake.

Miranda, please.

Carrie, you can't quit your column.

It's who you are.

No, it's not who I am, it's what I do.

That's my column.

You know, I think I should go home.

What? I'm not allowed
to have an opinion?

You have an opinion.

You've had it for quite some time.

What are you gonna do
over there without your job?

Eat croissants?

Why can't you be happy for me?

I'm sorry, but...

I don't understand
why you have to move away

and give up your life?

You moved to Brooklyn!

That's just Brooklyn.

I cannot stay in New York
and be single for you.

-What?
-This is about you.

As long as I'm here, in the same place,

writing my column,
then nothing has really changed.

-No, this is about you.
-No, you moved on, Charlotte's moved on,

even Samantha's moved on.

I can stay here and write about my life

or I can go with him and live my life.

You mean his life.

Carrie, I love you, come on!

Just say it! You don't like him!

Fine, I don't like him!

Then don't you go to Paris with him!

You're living in a fantasy!

Maybe I was living
in a fantasy,

but I found a man
who could make it a reality.

And I wasn't gonna question any of it.

Not even how he found
a horse-drawn sleigh

in the middle of Manhattan.
