1
00:01:08,907 --> 00:01:12,843
Once upon a time,
an English journalist came to New York.
2
00:01:17,322 --> 00:01:19,290
Elizabeth was attractive and bright.
3
00:01:19,274 --> 00:01:23,301
Right away she hooked up with one of
the city's typically eligible bachelors.
4
00:01:23,210 --> 00:01:26,202
The question remains--
Is this really a company we want to own?
5
00:01:26,154 --> 00:01:30,318
Tim was 42, a well-liked
and respected investment banker...
6
00:01:30,217 --> 00:01:32,651
who made about two million a year.
7
00:01:34,889 --> 00:01:38,450
They met one evening,
in typical New York fashion...
8
00:01:38,376 --> 00:01:40,310
at a gallery opening.
9
00:01:46,664 --> 00:01:48,632
Like it?
10
00:01:48,615 --> 00:01:51,641
Yes, actually.
I think it's quite interesting.
11
00:01:52,679 --> 00:01:53,941
What?
12
00:01:53,958 --> 00:01:56,518
I feel like
I know you from somewhere.
13
00:01:56,486 --> 00:01:58,477
Doubtful.
I only just moved here from London.
14
00:01:58,470 --> 00:02:02,372
London? Really?
That's my all-time favorite city.
15
00:02:02,278 --> 00:02:04,610
- It is?
- Absolutely.
16
00:02:04,581 --> 00:02:06,606
It was love at first sight.
17
00:02:06,597 --> 00:02:08,189
You know...
18
00:02:09,317 --> 00:02:12,252
I think perhaps I have met you
somewhere before.
19
00:02:16,100 --> 00:02:18,967
For two weeks they snuggled...
20
00:02:20,484 --> 00:02:22,611
went to romantic restaurants...
21
00:02:25,379 --> 00:02:27,540
had wonderful sex...
22
00:02:28,515 --> 00:02:30,745
and shared
their most intimate secrets.
23
00:02:32,995 --> 00:02:34,792
One warm spring day...
24
00:02:34,786 --> 00:02:38,051
he took her to a town house he saw
in Sunday's New York Times.
25
00:02:37,986 --> 00:02:40,819
How 'bout if we start at the top
and work our way down?
26
00:02:40,770 --> 00:02:43,398
There are four bedrooms upstairs.
Do you have any children?
27
00:02:43,361 --> 00:02:44,794
Not yet.
28
00:02:46,657 --> 00:02:49,091
That day, Tim popped the question.
29
00:02:49,057 --> 00:02:51,651
How'd you like to have dinner
with my folks Tuesday night?
30
00:02:51,617 --> 00:02:54,177
I'd love to.
31
00:02:54,144 --> 00:02:56,635
On Tuesday,
he called with some bad news.
32
00:02:56,608 --> 00:02:59,168
My mother's not feeling very well.
33
00:02:59,136 --> 00:03:00,694
Well, gosh, I'm sorry.
34
00:03:00,704 --> 00:03:03,298
- Could we take a rain check?
- Of course.
35
00:03:03,264 --> 00:03:06,097
Tell your mum
I hope she feels better.
36
00:03:06,751 --> 00:03:09,584
When she hadn't heard from him
for two weeks, she called.
37
00:03:09,535 --> 00:03:13,266
Tim, it's Elizabeth.
That's an awfully long rain check.
38
00:03:13,182 --> 00:03:16,310
He said he was up to his ears
and that he'd call her the next day.
39
00:03:18,846 --> 00:03:20,905
He never did call, of course.
Bastard.
40
00:03:20,894 --> 00:03:24,193
- She told me one day over coffee.
- I don't understand.
41
00:03:24,126 --> 00:03:27,960
In England, looking at houses together
would have meant something.
42
00:03:27,869 --> 00:03:31,396
Then I realized no one had told her
about the end of love in Manhattan.
43
00:03:34,077 --> 00:03:36,671
Welcome to the age of "un-innocence."
44
00:03:37,692 --> 00:03:42,152
No one has breakfast at Tiffany's,
and no one has affairs to remember.
45
00:03:42,044 --> 00:03:44,706
Instead,
we have breakfast at 7:00 a.m...
46
00:03:44,667 --> 00:03:47,465
and affairs we try to forget
as quickly as possible.
47
00:03:49,083 --> 00:03:52,280
Self-protection and
closing the deal are paramount.
48
00:03:52,219 --> 00:03:55,484
Cupid has flown the co-op.
49
00:03:57,882 --> 00:04:00,009
How the hell did we
get into this mess?
50
00:04:01,625 --> 00:04:05,584
There are maybe tens of thousands
of women like this in the city.
51
00:04:05,498 --> 00:04:09,127
We all know them,
and we all agree they're great.
52
00:04:09,049 --> 00:04:12,177
They travel. They pay taxes.
53
00:04:12,121 --> 00:04:15,818
They'll spend $400 on a pair
of Manolo Blahnik strappy sandals.
54
00:04:16,313 --> 00:04:18,372
And they're alone.
55
00:04:22,712 --> 00:04:24,703
It's like the riddle of the Sphinx.
56
00:04:24,696 --> 00:04:27,529
Why are there so many
great unmarried women...
57
00:04:27,479 --> 00:04:30,505
and no great unmarried men?
58
00:04:30,455 --> 00:04:32,889
I explore these sorts of issues
in my column...
59
00:04:32,854 --> 00:04:35,186
and I have terrific sources: my friends.
60
00:04:35,159 --> 00:04:38,890
When you're a young guy in your 20s,
women are controlling the relationship.
61
00:04:38,806 --> 00:04:41,331
So by the time you're
an eligible man in your 30s...
62
00:04:41,302 --> 00:04:43,862
you feel like you're being
devoured by women.
63
00:04:43,829 --> 00:04:47,162
Suddenly, the guys are
holding all the chips.
64
00:04:47,093 --> 00:04:50,324
I call it the mid-30s power flip.
65
00:04:55,284 --> 00:04:57,980
It's all about age and biology.
66
00:04:57,940 --> 00:05:00,340
I mean, if you want to get married,
it's to have kids, right?
67
00:05:00,308 --> 00:05:03,675
Not with someone older than 35, 'cause
you have to have kids right away...
68
00:05:03,604 --> 00:05:05,834
and that's about it.
69
00:05:05,811 --> 00:05:09,008
I think these women should
just forget about marriage...
70
00:05:08,947 --> 00:05:10,539
and have a good time.
71
00:05:13,106 --> 00:05:17,736
I have a friend who'd always gone out
with extremely sexy guys...
72
00:05:17,618 --> 00:05:19,552
and just had a good time.
73
00:05:19,538 --> 00:05:22,666
One day she woke up,
and she was 41.
74
00:05:22,609 --> 00:05:26,101
She couldn't get any more dates.
She had a complete physical breakdown...
75
00:05:26,034 --> 00:05:30,164
couldn't hold her job and moved back
to Wisconsin to live with her mother.
76
00:05:33,776 --> 00:05:37,678
Trust me-- this is not a story
that makes men feel bad.
77
00:05:37,584 --> 00:05:41,645
Most men are threatened
by successful women.
78
00:05:41,551 --> 00:05:44,543
If you want to get these guys,
you have to keep your mouth shut...
79
00:05:44,495 --> 00:05:46,429
and play by the rules.
80
00:05:49,551 --> 00:05:52,247
I totally believe
that love conquers all.
81
00:05:52,207 --> 00:05:54,505
Sometimes you just have to
give it a little space...
82
00:05:54,479 --> 00:05:56,879
and that's exactly what's missing
in Manhattan--
83
00:05:56,846 --> 00:05:59,041
the space for romance.
84
00:06:01,613 --> 00:06:03,672
The problem is expectations.
85
00:06:03,662 --> 00:06:06,825
Older women don't want to settle
for what's available.
86
00:06:09,165 --> 00:06:12,999
By the time you reach your mid-30s
you think, "Why should I settle?"
87
00:06:14,860 --> 00:06:16,293
You know?
88
00:06:16,300 --> 00:06:18,962
It's like the older we get,
the more we keep self-selecting...
89
00:06:18,924 --> 00:06:21,722
down to a smaller and smaller group.
90
00:06:21,675 --> 00:06:23,666
What women really want is
Alec Baldwin.
91
00:06:25,259 --> 00:06:29,525
There's not one woman in New York who
hasn't turned down 10 wonderful guys...
92
00:06:29,419 --> 00:06:33,082
because they were
too short or too fat or too poor.
93
00:06:33,002 --> 00:06:36,438
I have been out with some of
those guys-- the short, fat, poor ones.
94
00:06:36,363 --> 00:06:37,990
It makes absolutely no difference.
95
00:06:37,994 --> 00:06:41,760
They are just as self-centered and
unappreciative as the good-looking ones.
96
00:06:41,673 --> 00:06:44,642
Why don't these women
just marry a fat guy?
97
00:06:44,585 --> 00:06:49,579
Why don't they just marry
a big, fat tub of lard?
98
00:06:49,448 --> 00:06:54,613
Happy birthday, dear Miranda
99
00:06:54,472 --> 00:06:58,033
Happy birthday to you
100
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:02,090
Another 30-something birthday with
a group of unmarried female friends.
101
00:07:01,991 --> 00:07:04,687
We would all have preferred
a nice celebratory conference call.
102
00:07:04,648 --> 00:07:06,445
- You were saying?
- Look.
103
00:07:06,439 --> 00:07:10,034
If you're a successful single woman
in this city, you have two choices:
104
00:07:09,959 --> 00:07:12,519
You can bang your head against the wall
and try and find a relationship...
105
00:07:12,486 --> 00:07:15,250
or you can say "screw it,"
and just go out and have sex like a man.
106
00:07:15,206 --> 00:07:20,644
- You mean with dildos?
- No, I mean without feeling.
107
00:07:20,485 --> 00:07:23,181
Samantha was a New York inspiration.
108
00:07:23,142 --> 00:07:25,076
A public relations executive...
109
00:07:25,062 --> 00:07:28,554
she routinely slept
with good-looking guys in their 20s.
110
00:07:28,485 --> 00:07:31,977
Remember that guy I was going out with?
Oh, God, what was his name? Drew.
111
00:07:31,908 --> 00:07:34,399
- Drew the sex god.
- Right. Afterwards?
112
00:07:34,372 --> 00:07:37,500
I didn't feel a thing. It was like,
"Hey, babe, gotta go. Catch ya later."
113
00:07:37,443 --> 00:07:40,037
And I completely
forgot about him after that.
114
00:07:40,004 --> 00:07:42,666
But are you sure that isn't
just 'cause he didn't call you?
115
00:07:42,627 --> 00:07:45,960
Sweetheart, this is the first time
in the history of Manhattan...
116
00:07:45,891 --> 00:07:48,223
that women have had
as much money and power as men...
117
00:07:48,195 --> 00:07:51,562
plus the equal luxury
of treating men like sex objects.
118
00:07:51,490 --> 00:07:54,482
Yeah, except men in this city
fail on both counts.
119
00:07:54,434 --> 00:07:56,368
I mean, they don't want to be
in a relationship with you...
120
00:07:56,354 --> 00:07:58,879
but as soon as you only want them
for sex, they don't like it.
121
00:07:58,850 --> 00:08:01,341
All of a sudden they can't perform
the way they're supposed to.
122
00:08:01,313 --> 00:08:04,544
- That's when you dump them.
- Ladies, are we really that cynical?
123
00:08:04,481 --> 00:08:06,415
What about romance?
124
00:08:06,401 --> 00:08:08,062
- Yeah!
- Who needs it?
125
00:08:08,064 --> 00:08:10,589
It's like that guy, Jeremiah,
the poet.
126
00:08:10,561 --> 00:08:13,587
I mean, the sex was incredible.
127
00:08:13,536 --> 00:08:16,699
But then he wanted to read me
his poetry and go out to dinner...
128
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,404
and the whole chat bit, and I'm like,
"Let's not even go there."
129
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,295
What are you saying? That you're just
going to give up on love?
130
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,299
- That's sick.
- No, no, no. Believe me...
131
00:08:24,287 --> 00:08:26,653
the right guy comes along,
and you two here, this whole thing--
132
00:08:26,623 --> 00:08:28,853
- right out the window.
- That's right!
133
00:08:28,830 --> 00:08:33,233
Listen to me! The right guy is
an illusion. Start living your lives.
134
00:08:33,118 --> 00:08:37,418
So you think it's really possible
to pull off this whole...
135
00:08:37,310 --> 00:08:38,971
women-having-sex-like-men thing?
136
00:08:38,974 --> 00:08:42,603
- You're forgetting The Last Seduction.
- You're obsessed with that movie.
137
00:08:42,525 --> 00:08:48,054
Okay, Linda Fiorentino fucking that guy
up against the chain-link fence.
138
00:08:47,901 --> 00:08:50,768
And never having one of those "Oh,
my God, what have I done?" epiphanies.
139
00:08:50,716 --> 00:08:52,149
I hated that movie.
140
00:08:54,333 --> 00:08:55,960
Was it true?
141
00:08:55,964 --> 00:09:00,060
Were women in New York really giving up
on love and throttling up on power?
142
00:09:01,404 --> 00:09:03,338
What a tempting thought.
143
00:09:06,395 --> 00:09:10,729
I'm beginning to think the only place
one can still find love and romance...
144
00:09:10,618 --> 00:09:13,587
in New York is the gay community.
145
00:09:13,531 --> 00:09:16,364
It's straight love
that's become closeted.
146
00:09:16,313 --> 00:09:18,281
Stanford Blatch was
one of my closest friends.
147
00:09:18,266 --> 00:09:22,965
He owned a talent agency and, at
the moment, was down to a single client.
148
00:09:22,841 --> 00:09:24,672
So, are you telling me...
149
00:09:24,665 --> 00:09:26,565
that you're in love?
150
00:09:26,553 --> 00:09:29,818
How could I possibly
sustain a relationship?
151
00:09:29,752 --> 00:09:32,778
You know Derek takes up like,
a thousand percent of my time.
152
00:09:32,729 --> 00:09:35,527
Don't you think
that's a bit obsessive?
153
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,347
I'm a passionate person.
His career is all I care about.
154
00:09:38,295 --> 00:09:41,890
When that's under control, then I can
concentrate on my personal life.
155
00:09:41,816 --> 00:09:45,013
Stanford, he's an underwear model.
156
00:09:44,951 --> 00:09:47,977
With a billboard in Times Square.
157
00:09:47,927 --> 00:09:50,452
Oh, my God. Don't turn around.
158
00:09:50,422 --> 00:09:52,913
The loathe of your life is
at the bar.
159
00:09:53,526 --> 00:09:55,391
It was Kurt Harrington...
160
00:09:55,382 --> 00:09:58,613
a mistake I made when I was 26...
161
00:09:58,549 --> 00:10:00,414
and 29...
162
00:10:00,406 --> 00:10:01,737
and 31.
163
00:10:01,749 --> 00:10:04,684
Carrie, don't even go there.
164
00:10:04,629 --> 00:10:06,494
What?
Do you think I'm a masochist?
165
00:10:06,484 --> 00:10:08,076
- The man is scum.
- Good.
166
00:10:08,085 --> 00:10:11,987
Because I don't have the patience to
clean up this mess for the fourth time.
167
00:10:11,892 --> 00:10:14,827
Will you relax?
I don't have a shred off eeling left.
168
00:10:14,772 --> 00:10:16,069
Thank God.
169
00:10:16,787 --> 00:10:19,881
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I have to visit the ladies' room.
170
00:10:21,555 --> 00:10:24,820
It was true.
I no longer felt a thing for Kurt.
171
00:10:24,755 --> 00:10:28,521
After all these years,
I finally saw him for what he was:
172
00:10:28,435 --> 00:10:30,801
a self-centered, withholding creep...
173
00:10:30,771 --> 00:10:33,467
who was still the best sex
I ever had in my life.
174
00:10:33,426 --> 00:10:36,953
However, I did have
a little experiment in mind.
175
00:10:45,905 --> 00:10:47,566
Wow. What are you doin' here?
176
00:10:47,569 --> 00:10:49,002
Hey, babe.
177
00:10:50,608 --> 00:10:53,372
- God, you look gorgeous.
- Thanks.
178
00:10:54,288 --> 00:10:57,086
So, how's life?
179
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,100
Not bad. Can't complain. You?
180
00:11:00,047 --> 00:11:02,982
Oh, you know, just writing the column.
The usual.
181
00:11:02,927 --> 00:11:06,021
So, you seeing anyone special?
182
00:11:06,606 --> 00:11:08,904
Not really. You?
183
00:11:08,878 --> 00:11:11,108
Oh, just a couple guys.
184
00:11:12,142 --> 00:11:14,770
- Well, you look good, though.
- So do you.
185
00:11:19,022 --> 00:11:20,717
So...
186
00:11:21,677 --> 00:11:23,474
what are you doing later?
187
00:11:23,469 --> 00:11:26,063
I thought you weren't talking to me
for the rest of your life.
188
00:11:26,029 --> 00:11:28,122
Who said anything about talking?
189
00:11:30,700 --> 00:11:33,692
What do you say to my place, 3:00?
190
00:11:34,604 --> 00:11:37,004
All right. See ya there.
191
00:11:47,882 --> 00:11:51,648
Are you out of your mind?
What the hell do you think you're doing?
192
00:11:51,563 --> 00:11:54,464
Oh, calm down.
It's research.
193
00:11:55,690 --> 00:11:57,954
Oh, God. Oh, Kurt.
194
00:11:57,930 --> 00:12:00,558
Kurt was just like I remembered--
195
00:12:00,521 --> 00:12:03,820
better-- because this time...
196
00:12:03,753 --> 00:12:07,086
there would be none of that
messy emotional attachment.
197
00:12:14,952 --> 00:12:18,444
All righty. My turn.
198
00:12:18,376 --> 00:12:21,573
Oh, sorry.
I have to go back to work.
199
00:12:22,888 --> 00:12:24,947
What? Are you kiddin'?
You're serious?
200
00:12:24,935 --> 00:12:27,597
Oh, yeah. Completely.
But I'll give you a call.
201
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,424
Maybe we can do it again sometime.
202
00:12:30,567 --> 00:12:32,000
Yeah, but--
203
00:12:33,958 --> 00:12:37,689
As I began to get dressed,
I realized that I'd done it.
204
00:12:38,917 --> 00:12:41,181
I'd just had sex like a man.
205
00:12:42,725 --> 00:12:46,752
I left feeling powerful,
potent and incredibly alive.
206
00:12:46,661 --> 00:12:48,526
I felt like I owned this city.
207
00:12:48,516 --> 00:12:51,007
Nothing and no one
could get in my way.
208
00:13:01,732 --> 00:13:03,563
- Number one, he's very handsome.
- There ya go.
209
00:13:03,555 --> 00:13:06,388
Number two, he's not wearing
a wedding ring.
210
00:13:06,338 --> 00:13:11,605
Number three, he knows I carry
textured Trojans with a reservoir tip.
211
00:13:11,458 --> 00:13:12,720
Thanks a lot.
212
00:13:12,738 --> 00:13:14,638
Anytime.
213
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,689
Later that night,
Skipper Johnston met me for coffee...
214
00:13:33,632 --> 00:13:35,725
and confessed
a shocking intimate secret.
215
00:13:35,712 --> 00:13:37,441
Thank you.
216
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,034
Do you know that it has been,
like, a year?
217
00:13:40,992 --> 00:13:42,584
Really?
218
00:13:42,591 --> 00:13:44,991
I don't understand that.
You're such a nice guy.
219
00:13:44,959 --> 00:13:48,190
That's the problem.
I'm too nice, you know?
220
00:13:48,126 --> 00:13:51,323
I'm a romantic.
I just have so much feeling.
221
00:13:51,262 --> 00:13:53,230
Are you sure you're not gay?
222
00:13:53,214 --> 00:13:56,115
No! I'm sensitive...
223
00:13:56,061 --> 00:13:58,791
and I don't objectify women.
224
00:13:58,749 --> 00:14:02,241
You know, most guys,
when they meet a girl...
225
00:14:02,173 --> 00:14:05,233
the first thing that they see is--
226
00:14:05,181 --> 00:14:07,046
- You know--
- Pussy?
227
00:14:07,037 --> 00:14:09,130
Oh, God! Oh!
228
00:14:09,117 --> 00:14:11,881
I hate that word.
229
00:14:11,836 --> 00:14:14,737
Don't you have any friends
that you can hook me up with?
230
00:14:15,388 --> 00:14:18,255
- They're too old for you.
- I like older women.
231
00:14:19,195 --> 00:14:21,163
Maybe.
232
00:14:21,147 --> 00:14:24,742
- Maybe my friend Miranda.
- When?
233
00:14:24,667 --> 00:14:28,433
Tomorrow night. We're all going
downtown to this club, Chaos.
234
00:14:28,346 --> 00:14:29,938
Great.
235
00:14:31,034 --> 00:14:32,968
Don't tell her I'm nice.
236
00:14:34,074 --> 00:14:36,235
Miranda was gonna hate Skipper.
237
00:14:37,210 --> 00:14:39,576
She'd think he was mocking her
with his sweet nature...
238
00:14:39,546 --> 00:14:42,413
and decide he was an asshole...
239
00:14:42,361 --> 00:14:45,296
the way she had decided
all men were assholes.
240
00:14:51,352 --> 00:14:53,718
- Hello?
- Hey, Carrie, it's Charlotte.
241
00:14:53,688 --> 00:14:55,315
- Hey, sweetie.
- Hey.
242
00:14:55,319 --> 00:14:57,287
Look, I can't meet you guys
for dinner tomorrow night...
243
00:14:57,272 --> 00:14:59,331
because I have an amazing date.
244
00:14:59,319 --> 00:15:00,411
With who?
245
00:15:00,439 --> 00:15:03,875
Capote Duncan. He's supposedly some
big shot in the publishing world.
246
00:15:03,798 --> 00:15:05,026
- Do you know him?
- Did I know him?
247
00:15:05,047 --> 00:15:08,175
He was one of the city's most
notoriously "un-gettable" bachelors.
248
00:15:08,118 --> 00:15:13,021
Wait, don't even answer that question
because, frankly, I don't care.
249
00:15:12,886 --> 00:15:18,085
And another thing. I'm not buying any
of that women-having-sex-like-men crap.
250
00:15:17,942 --> 00:15:22,777
I didn't tell her about my afternoon of
cheap and easy sex and how good it felt.
251
00:15:22,645 --> 00:15:26,308
All right. Fine. Have a good time,
and promise to tell me everything.
252
00:15:26,229 --> 00:15:27,821
Well, if you're lucky.
253
00:15:27,829 --> 00:15:29,990
- Bye.
- All right. Bye.
254
00:15:33,652 --> 00:15:35,950
Friday night at Chaos.
255
00:15:35,924 --> 00:15:39,451
It was just like that bar in "Cheers"
where everybody knows your name...
256
00:15:39,379 --> 00:15:43,042
except here they were likely
to forget it five minutes later.
257
00:15:43,987 --> 00:15:45,079
Hi.
258
00:15:45,107 --> 00:15:50,477
Still, it was the creme de la creme
of New York whipped into a frenzy.
259
00:15:50,323 --> 00:15:52,655
Sometimes you got a souffle...
260
00:15:53,842 --> 00:15:55,833
sometimes cottage cheese.
261
00:15:55,826 --> 00:15:58,795
It is like a model bomb
exploded in this room tonight.
262
00:15:58,737 --> 00:16:02,264
Is there a woman here aside from me
who weights more than a hundred pounds?
263
00:16:02,193 --> 00:16:04,889
I know.
It's like "Undereaters Anonymous."
264
00:16:04,849 --> 00:16:06,476
That's funny, Skippy.
265
00:16:06,481 --> 00:16:09,382
- Skipper.
- I have this theory...
266
00:16:09,328 --> 00:16:13,856
that men secretly hate pretty girls
because they rejected them in school.
267
00:16:13,744 --> 00:16:16,406
Right. But if you're not
part of the "Beauty Olympics"...
268
00:16:16,368 --> 00:16:19,963
you can still become
a very interesting person.
269
00:16:19,887 --> 00:16:21,548
Are you saying
that I'm not pretty enough?
270
00:16:21,551 --> 00:16:23,542
No, no, no.
Of course you are.
271
00:16:23,535 --> 00:16:25,867
So, ipso f acto,
I can't be interesting?
272
00:16:25,839 --> 00:16:27,773
Women fall into one of two categories:
273
00:16:27,759 --> 00:16:31,160
beautiful and boring
or homely and interesting, is that it?
274
00:16:31,086 --> 00:16:33,577
No, that's not what I meant.
275
00:16:33,550 --> 00:16:36,246
Excuse me.
Is this your hand on my knee?
276
00:16:37,806 --> 00:16:39,637
Let's just keep 'em
where I can see 'em, all right?
277
00:16:39,630 --> 00:16:43,589
Well, I guess you must
find me beautiful.
278
00:16:43,501 --> 00:16:46,095
- Or interesting.
- I was about to rescue Skipper...
279
00:16:46,060 --> 00:16:49,291
from an increasingly hopeless situation,
when suddenly--
280
00:16:50,636 --> 00:16:52,467
Lucky me, twice in one week.
281
00:16:53,420 --> 00:16:56,048
Well, I don't know if you're going
to be getting that lucky.
282
00:16:56,011 --> 00:16:58,206
You know, I was really pissed off
the way you left the other day.
283
00:16:58,187 --> 00:16:59,848
- You were?
- Yeah.
284
00:16:59,851 --> 00:17:02,046
Then I thought, how great!
285
00:17:02,027 --> 00:17:03,756
You finally understand
the kind of relationship I want...
286
00:17:03,755 --> 00:17:05,347
and now we can have sex
without commitment.
287
00:17:06,634 --> 00:17:10,468
Yeah. Right. Sure. I guess.
288
00:17:10,378 --> 00:17:13,643
- So when I feel like it, I'll call you.
- Yeah, please.
289
00:17:13,578 --> 00:17:16,945
Whenever you feel like it.
If I'm alone, I'm all yours.
290
00:17:16,873 --> 00:17:18,864
Right.
291
00:17:18,857 --> 00:17:20,154
I like this new you.
292
00:17:20,169 --> 00:17:21,500
Call me.
293
00:17:21,513 --> 00:17:22,605
Yup.
294
00:17:25,064 --> 00:17:26,725
I didn't understand.
295
00:17:26,728 --> 00:17:31,188
Did all men secretly want their women
promiscuous and emotionally detached?
296
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:35,847
And if I was really having sex like a
man, why didn't I feel more in control?
297
00:17:35,719 --> 00:17:38,279
You see that guy?
He's the next Donald Trump...
298
00:17:38,247 --> 00:17:40,943
except he's younger
and much better looking.
299
00:17:42,599 --> 00:17:44,157
Hi.
300
00:17:44,167 --> 00:17:46,226
- You know him?
- No.
301
00:17:46,215 --> 00:17:48,046
I've never seen him in my life.
302
00:17:48,039 --> 00:17:51,634
He usually dates models, but, hey,
I'm as good-looking as a model...
303
00:17:51,558 --> 00:17:54,083
plus I own my own business.
304
00:17:54,054 --> 00:17:56,386
Samantha had the kind
of deluded self-confidence...
305
00:17:56,358 --> 00:17:59,191
that caused men like Ross Perot
to run for president...
306
00:17:59,141 --> 00:18:01,769
and it usually got her
what she wanted.
307
00:18:01,733 --> 00:18:04,201
Well, if you're not gonna hit on him,
I will.
308
00:18:04,164 --> 00:18:05,893
And there she went--
309
00:18:05,892 --> 00:18:08,884
off to take her best shot
with Mr. Big.
310
00:18:10,276 --> 00:18:16,010
Meanwhile, Charlotte York was having
a splendid evening with Capote Duncan.
311
00:18:15,843 --> 00:18:18,744
Wanna go back to my place
and see the Ross Blechner?
312
00:18:18,691 --> 00:18:21,285
I'd love to,
but it's really getting late.
313
00:18:21,251 --> 00:18:22,843
No problem.
314
00:18:24,771 --> 00:18:29,231
- What year was it painted again?
- '89.
315
00:18:29,122 --> 00:18:31,352
Though Charlotte was determined
to play hard-to-get...
316
00:18:31,330 --> 00:18:33,821
she didn't want to end the evening
too abruptly.
317
00:18:33,794 --> 00:18:37,127
Well, maybe just for a minute.
318
00:18:42,465 --> 00:18:45,298
This could easily go
for a hundred grand.
319
00:18:45,248 --> 00:18:47,478
Ross is so hot right now.
320
00:18:49,376 --> 00:18:51,139
It's beautiful.
321
00:18:52,511 --> 00:18:54,411
No, you're beautiful.
322
00:18:57,152 --> 00:19:00,519
Thank you for tonight.
323
00:19:00,447 --> 00:19:02,278
- Yeah?
- I had a wonderful time.
324
00:19:02,271 --> 00:19:03,863
Well, it was my pleasure.
325
00:19:19,037 --> 00:19:21,631
I have to get up
really early tomorrow.
326
00:19:22,941 --> 00:19:24,704
I'll get you a cab.
327
00:19:29,340 --> 00:19:33,504
Charlotte told me she thought she had
played the entire evening flawlessly.
328
00:19:38,780 --> 00:19:41,681
So, what are you doing
next Saturday?
329
00:19:42,587 --> 00:19:44,817
I'm having dinner with you.
330
00:19:53,050 --> 00:19:56,952
- You're going to the West Side, right?
- Right. West Fourth and Bank, please.
331
00:19:58,137 --> 00:20:02,164
Hey, scoot over, will ya?
Two stops:
332
00:20:02,073 --> 00:20:04,303
Fourth and Bank and...
333
00:20:04,281 --> 00:20:05,908
West Broadway and Broom.
334
00:20:06,873 --> 00:20:10,036
- You're going to Chaos?
- Oh. Yeah.
335
00:20:11,096 --> 00:20:12,723
Why?
336
00:20:13,368 --> 00:20:15,359
Look, I understand
where you're coming from...
337
00:20:15,352 --> 00:20:17,217
and I totally respect it...
338
00:20:17,207 --> 00:20:20,734
but I really need
to have sex tonight.
339
00:20:24,279 --> 00:20:25,769
Back at Chaos...
340
00:20:25,782 --> 00:20:27,977
things were swinging into high gear...
341
00:20:27,958 --> 00:20:30,552
and Samantha was
putting the moves on Mr. Big.
342
00:20:30,518 --> 00:20:32,679
I've been smoking cigars for years...
343
00:20:32,662 --> 00:20:34,960
back when they were
terminally uncool.
344
00:20:34,933 --> 00:20:38,232
I've got this great source that sends me
Hondurans. Do you want to try one?
345
00:20:38,165 --> 00:20:40,565
- No, thank you.
- Really? You can't find them anywhere.
346
00:20:41,173 --> 00:20:44,540
Cohibas-- that's all I smoke.
347
00:20:51,124 --> 00:20:53,786
Look, I do the PR for this club...
348
00:20:54,931 --> 00:20:57,525
and I have the key
to the private room downstairs.
349
00:20:58,131 --> 00:20:59,428
Really?
350
00:21:00,307 --> 00:21:02,138
You want a private tour?
351
00:21:05,075 --> 00:21:07,908
No, thanks,
but maybe another time.
352
00:21:14,450 --> 00:21:15,712
Meanwhile...
353
00:21:15,730 --> 00:21:20,030
Skipper Johnston was hopelessly smitten
with Miranda Hobbes.
354
00:21:19,921 --> 00:21:23,448
- So, where we goin' now?
- Listen, Skippy...
355
00:21:23,376 --> 00:21:26,539
you know, you really are a nice,
sweet guy, but--
356
00:21:27,312 --> 00:21:29,678
Oh, I understand.
357
00:21:29,648 --> 00:21:30,910
Good night.
358
00:21:37,647 --> 00:21:39,979
Miranda told me later
that she thought he was too nice...
359
00:21:39,951 --> 00:21:42,784
but that she was willing
to overlook one flaw...
360
00:21:45,262 --> 00:21:47,856
and Capote Duncan found his fix
for the night.
361
00:21:50,542 --> 00:21:53,033
Where is it?
I wanna see the Ross Blechner.
362
00:21:53,006 --> 00:21:54,667
Wait. Later.
363
00:21:55,309 --> 00:21:56,571
Later.
364
00:22:05,389 --> 00:22:08,358
Oh, listen, l--
365
00:22:08,300 --> 00:22:09,995
I gotta get up really early...
366
00:22:09,995 --> 00:22:12,395
and, actually, you can't stay over.
367
00:22:12,364 --> 00:22:14,025
Cool?
368
00:22:14,028 --> 00:22:16,462
Sure. I have to
get up really early too.
369
00:22:31,625 --> 00:22:34,219
Taxi! Taxi!
370
00:22:36,777 --> 00:22:40,372
And so another Friday night
in Manhattan crept towards dawn.
371
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:48,514
Just when I thought
I would have to do the unspeakable--
372
00:22:48,424 --> 00:22:49,789
walk home--
373
00:23:00,935 --> 00:23:03,233
Well, get in, for Christ's sakes.
374
00:23:12,166 --> 00:23:15,624
- Where can I drop you?
- 72nd Street and Third Avenue.
375
00:23:16,389 --> 00:23:18,823
- Have you got that, Al?
- Yes, sir.
376
00:23:20,324 --> 00:23:22,758
So, what have you been
doing lately?
377
00:23:22,725 --> 00:23:25,285
You mean besides going out
every night?
378
00:23:25,252 --> 00:23:27,186
Yeah. I mean,
what do you do for work?
379
00:23:27,172 --> 00:23:28,730
Well, this is my work.
380
00:23:28,740 --> 00:23:31,538
I'm sort of a sexual anthropologist.
381
00:23:32,932 --> 00:23:35,332
You mean like a hooker?
382
00:23:36,580 --> 00:23:39,640
I write a column called
"Sex and the City."
383
00:23:39,587 --> 00:23:42,579
Right now I'm researching an article
about women who have sex like men.
384
00:23:43,587 --> 00:23:45,248
You know, they have sex...
385
00:23:45,250 --> 00:23:47,741
and then afterwards
they feel nothing.
386
00:23:47,714 --> 00:23:51,343
- But you're not like that.
- Well, aren't you?
387
00:23:52,001 --> 00:23:55,402
Not a drop.
Not even half a drop.
388
00:23:56,513 --> 00:23:59,448
Wow. What's wrong with you?
389
00:24:02,241 --> 00:24:04,334
I get it.
390
00:24:04,321 --> 00:24:06,789
You've never been in love.
391
00:24:07,488 --> 00:24:09,012
Oh, yeah?
392
00:24:09,023 --> 00:24:10,285
Yeah.
393
00:24:12,352 --> 00:24:15,219
Suddenly I felt
the wind knocked out of me.
394
00:24:15,167 --> 00:24:18,261
I wanted to crawl under the covers
and go right to sleep.
395
00:24:27,294 --> 00:24:29,626
- Thanks for the ride.
- Anytime.
396
00:24:33,662 --> 00:24:34,924
Wait.
397
00:24:40,252 --> 00:24:42,516
Have you ever been in love?
398
00:24:43,580 --> 00:24:46,048
Abso-fuckin'-lutely.
399
00:26:35,156 --> 00:26:38,455
