1
00:00:47,946 --> 00:00:51,571
Once upon a time
in a magical land called Manhattan,

2
00:00:51,655 --> 00:00:53,613
a young woman fell in love.

3
00:00:57,446 --> 00:01:01,363
Charlotte and Jack locked eyes at
a black-tie benefit for Epstein-Barr.

4
00:01:04,405 --> 00:01:07,196
She chased him through every disease
in New York.

5
00:01:08,030 --> 00:01:11,321
They've been officially dating
since retinitis pigmentosa.

6
00:01:13,613 --> 00:01:15,405
Jack was perfect for her.

7
00:01:15,488 --> 00:01:19,488
Architect, philanthropist
and the sex was amazing.

8
00:01:21,821 --> 00:01:24,946
Late one night,
Jack popped the inevitable question.

9
00:01:25,030 --> 00:01:26,446
- So…
- Mmm.

10
00:01:28,030 --> 00:01:29,530
what are your fantasies?

11
00:01:30,488 --> 00:01:34,030
God, I'd love to own my own gallery

12
00:01:34,613 --> 00:01:36,905
and maybe a little cottage in Maine.

13
00:01:36,988 --> 00:01:41,280
Actually, I meant more like
screwing-in-an-airplane-bathroom

14
00:01:41,363 --> 00:01:43,738
- kind of fantasies.
- Oh…

15
00:01:45,030 --> 00:01:47,655
The closest Charlotte had
ever come to getting screwed on a plane

16
00:01:47,738 --> 00:01:50,446
was the time she lost all her luggage
on a flight to Palm Beach.

17
00:01:51,238 --> 00:01:52,613
Well…

18
00:01:53,696 --> 00:01:56,363
I've always wanted to do it
in my parents' bed.

19
00:01:57,530 --> 00:01:59,780
Wild. I like it.

20
00:01:59,863 --> 00:02:00,988
What about you?

21
00:02:01,405 --> 00:02:04,530
You, me and another woman.

22
00:02:05,613 --> 00:02:06,613
Come on!

23
00:02:06,696 --> 00:02:08,030
I'm serious.

24
00:02:08,571 --> 00:02:12,071
Charlotte, you have no idea
how sexy you are, do you?

25
00:02:12,696 --> 00:02:15,238
And the idea of you touching
another woman…

26
00:02:16,946 --> 00:02:19,321
God, it makes me hard
just thinking about it.

27
00:02:20,446 --> 00:02:21,696
Wow.

28
00:02:28,238 --> 00:02:30,113
Jack wants us to do a threesome.

29
00:02:30,988 --> 00:02:32,821
Of course he does. Every guy does.

30
00:02:32,905 --> 00:02:34,571
Threesomes
are huge right now.

31
00:02:34,655 --> 00:02:36,196
They're the blow job of the '90s.

32
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,905
- What was the blow job of the '80s?
- Anal sex.

33
00:02:38,988 --> 00:02:41,571
- Any sex, period.
- Don't let him pressure you into it.

34
00:02:41,655 --> 00:02:44,696
It's just this guy's cheap ploy
to watch you be a lesbian for a night.

35
00:02:44,780 --> 00:02:48,030
- Don't knock it till you've tried it.
- I had a threesome once, I think.

36
00:02:48,113 --> 00:02:51,280
In college. I was drunk.
I woke up in someone else's bra.

37
00:02:51,363 --> 00:02:54,196
The only way to do a threesome
is to be the guest star.

38
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,071
- The guest star?
- Yeah.

39
00:02:56,155 --> 00:02:59,030
The girl the couple gets to come in,
screw and leave.

40
00:02:59,113 --> 00:03:01,030
- The pinch hitter.
- Exactly.

41
00:03:01,113 --> 00:03:02,113
It's perfect.

42
00:03:02,196 --> 00:03:05,363
All the great sex without wondering
what it will do to your relationship.

43
00:03:05,821 --> 00:03:09,571
- But you don't have relationships.
- Which is why I have great sex.

44
00:03:09,655 --> 00:03:12,613
- I've never done a threesome.
- Because you have relationships.

45
00:03:12,696 --> 00:03:14,030
Well, I've never done a threesome.

46
00:03:14,613 --> 00:03:16,196
Come on.
Of course you haven't.

47
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,488
You in a threesome?
You won't even wear a thong.

48
00:03:18,988 --> 00:03:22,363
- Jack thinks I'm sexy.
- He's just buttering you up.

49
00:03:22,446 --> 00:03:25,905
First, you start thinking you're hot,
then he brings up the threesome thing.

50
00:03:25,988 --> 00:03:29,113
Boom! Suddenly you're kissing
another woman while he beats off.

51
00:03:29,196 --> 00:03:30,280
Please!

52
00:03:30,363 --> 00:03:32,780
Just make sure that the other woman
isn't a friend.

53
00:03:32,863 --> 00:03:36,030
Use somebody random, you know,
somebody you meet in a bar or something.

54
00:03:36,113 --> 00:03:38,405
- That's romantic.
- No.

55
00:03:38,488 --> 00:03:40,530
I think that I'd feel safer
with a friend,

56
00:03:40,613 --> 00:03:43,530
with someone I could trust. Like Carrie.

57
00:03:44,030 --> 00:03:46,530
Oh… Gee, I'm flattered.

58
00:03:46,613 --> 00:03:50,363
But I'd go with someone who has
a little more experience, like Sam.

59
00:03:50,738 --> 00:03:52,030
Well, thanks.

60
00:03:52,113 --> 00:03:56,113
But there is something sexy
about a first-timer like Charlotte.

61
00:03:56,738 --> 00:03:58,738
- Really?
- Mm-hmm.

62
00:04:01,238 --> 00:04:02,905
Oh, great. No, forget about me.

63
00:04:02,988 --> 00:04:04,655
Aw!

64
00:04:04,738 --> 00:04:07,446
- Oh, come on.
- You know, I'd do it with you guys.

65
00:04:07,988 --> 00:04:11,696
It's like picking teams
for dodgeball all over again.

66
00:04:12,030 --> 00:04:13,655
Was Samantha right?

67
00:04:13,738 --> 00:04:16,113
Were threesomes the new sexual frontier?

68
00:04:18,905 --> 00:04:22,571
No question.
Guys were infatuated with threesomes.

69
00:04:22,655 --> 00:04:26,113
And when I started looking,
they were everywhere.

70
00:04:26,196 --> 00:04:29,030
After all, our lives
are built on threesomes.

71
00:04:29,363 --> 00:04:31,363
Fat, low-fat, nonfat.

72
00:04:31,446 --> 00:04:34,613
First, business, economy.
Moe, Larry, Curly.

73
00:04:34,946 --> 00:04:37,655
Maybe we were never meant to do it
with only one other person.

74
00:04:38,696 --> 00:04:41,696
Maybe threesomes were
the relationship of the future.

75
00:04:43,030 --> 00:04:46,238
Meanwhile, Samantha had been
busy guest-starring in a show

76
00:04:46,321 --> 00:04:49,113
I like to call
"Sam Does the Married Guy."

77
00:04:49,196 --> 00:04:51,321
I love that you're not my wife.

78
00:04:51,405 --> 00:04:53,446
I love that, too.

79
00:04:53,530 --> 00:04:56,071
I mean, that thing you do
with your hips!

80
00:04:57,655 --> 00:04:59,613
Ruth won't even get on top.

81
00:05:00,238 --> 00:05:02,696
Ken was 37, a wine importer,

82
00:05:02,780 --> 00:05:06,488
unhappily married to a woman
who designed modular office furniture.

83
00:05:06,571 --> 00:05:09,530
This affair was the most exciting thing
that had happened to him

84
00:05:09,613 --> 00:05:11,613
since the '94 Montrachet.

85
00:05:14,696 --> 00:05:17,613
Five hours later,
Charlotte's night was just beginning.

86
00:05:17,696 --> 00:05:20,655
She and Jack had just had
another fantastic date,

87
00:05:20,738 --> 00:05:22,405
dancing for dyslexia.

88
00:05:22,488 --> 00:05:24,988
So, what do you think of her?

89
00:05:26,238 --> 00:05:28,738
- Is she hot?
- Jack!

90
00:05:28,821 --> 00:05:30,238
You're right.

91
00:05:31,488 --> 00:05:33,655
Maybe she's more your taste.

92
00:05:33,738 --> 00:05:36,405
- Stop it.
- Have a light?

93
00:05:36,738 --> 00:05:38,238
Sorry, I don't smoke.

94
00:05:38,780 --> 00:05:39,988
That's a shame.

95
00:05:43,988 --> 00:05:47,238
Did you see that?
She was flirting with us.

96
00:05:47,571 --> 00:05:49,446
I think
she was flirting with you.

97
00:05:49,863 --> 00:05:53,238
Charlotte, you are such a turn on,
and you have no idea.

98
00:05:53,905 --> 00:05:57,363
You're giving off this sexual energy
all the time.

99
00:05:57,446 --> 00:05:59,946
A vibe like you've got
a fire inside of you.

100
00:06:01,863 --> 00:06:03,488
She'd be crazy not to be in to you.

101
00:06:04,613 --> 00:06:07,738
Who knows whether
it was her vodka or her vibe,

102
00:06:07,821 --> 00:06:10,488
but Charlotte suddenly did feel
a little warm.

103
00:06:10,571 --> 00:06:12,571
I think she put her hand on my leg.

104
00:06:13,113 --> 00:06:15,030
So, should I ask her to join us?

105
00:06:20,696 --> 00:06:23,905
That night she had
an eye-opening experience.

106
00:06:50,613 --> 00:06:52,113
Charlotte hadn't been
that excited

107
00:06:52,196 --> 00:06:55,280
since she tried on her JV
cheerleading uniform for the first time.

108
00:06:57,613 --> 00:06:59,196
So what do you think your dream meant?

109
00:07:00,946 --> 00:07:03,488
I'm in the sand box with Charlotte,
Sam and Carrie

110
00:07:03,571 --> 00:07:04,780
and none of them will play with me.

111
00:07:04,863 --> 00:07:06,446
Please. It's obvious.

112
00:07:06,530 --> 00:07:09,446
Across town, Miranda
was dealing with her own nightmare.

113
00:07:09,530 --> 00:07:11,280
Look, I know it's juvenile,
but it bothers me.

114
00:07:11,363 --> 00:07:13,071
I'm attractive, I'm smart. Right?

115
00:07:13,155 --> 00:07:14,946
Plenty of people should want me
for a threesome.

116
00:07:15,655 --> 00:07:19,946
So you're saying that you're attracted
to your girlfriends.

117
00:07:20,030 --> 00:07:23,613
No! But if your friends
won't go down on you, who will?

118
00:07:23,946 --> 00:07:25,321
Well, that's some dream.

119
00:07:25,405 --> 00:07:27,905
It was so real.
I can't stop thinking about it.

120
00:07:27,988 --> 00:07:30,196
- And I think I enjoyed it.
- That's great.

121
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,030
Dreams are really good way
to experiment.

122
00:07:32,113 --> 00:07:35,905
It's like… It's like buying a dress
and keeping the tags on.

123
00:07:35,988 --> 00:07:39,196
Do you think it means I should do it?
Have a threesome?

124
00:07:39,571 --> 00:07:42,071
Jack says that I have a fire inside me.

125
00:07:42,155 --> 00:07:43,863
You tell him they make a cream for that.

126
00:07:43,946 --> 00:07:45,696
I'm serious.

127
00:07:45,780 --> 00:07:48,696
I don't know. It's your call,
but don't do it just to make Jack happy.

128
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:50,988
Maybe it would bring us closer.

129
00:07:51,071 --> 00:07:53,196
Sweetie, don't you think it's weird

130
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,155
that you're thinking of sleeping
with someone you don't know

131
00:07:55,238 --> 00:07:56,738
to get closer to Jack?

132
00:07:58,196 --> 00:08:00,696
But how well do we ever know
the people we sleep with?

133
00:08:01,030 --> 00:08:02,780
That was the thing
about Charlotte.

134
00:08:02,863 --> 00:08:04,655
Just when you were
about to write her off

135
00:08:04,738 --> 00:08:06,696
as a Park Avenue Pollyanna,

136
00:08:06,780 --> 00:08:10,155
she'd say something so right on,
you'd think she was the Dalai Lama.

137
00:08:10,780 --> 00:08:13,030
Do you think my hair's too shiny today?

138
00:08:13,113 --> 00:08:15,446
And then…
she'd say something else.

139
00:08:15,530 --> 00:08:16,530
Do you?

140
00:08:16,613 --> 00:08:18,488
But the bigger
question remained…

141
00:08:18,571 --> 00:08:22,155
If Charlotte was actually considering
a threesome, who wasn't?

142
00:08:22,238 --> 00:08:24,988
The Village Voice had more ads
looking for threesomes

143
00:08:25,071 --> 00:08:28,530
than it did for small, rat-infested
studios running at $1,000 a month.

144
00:08:29,155 --> 00:08:30,988
But who actually answered these ads?

145
00:08:31,571 --> 00:08:33,988
"Wall Street honcho seeks
two horny gal pals

146
00:08:34,071 --> 00:08:36,446
for an East Hampton fuck-fest
at my summer home.

147
00:08:36,530 --> 00:08:37,946
No fatties, please."

148
00:08:38,030 --> 00:08:40,238
"Sweet, suburban school teacher

149
00:08:40,321 --> 00:08:43,863
seeks two men
to fulfill her wildest fantasies.

150
00:08:43,946 --> 00:08:48,488
You be Black or Hispanic,
I'll be on time.

151
00:08:48,571 --> 00:08:51,196
I need your dick now."

152
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,071
"X-Files fanatic twosome

00:08:53,155 --> 00:08:56,321

"Me, gorgeous with big boobs.

00:08:58,571 --> 00:09:00,571
You, a couple with class.

Let's experience everything
the city has to offer.

157
00:09:03,321 --> 00:09:09,280
I'm into museums, blow jobs, theater
and golden showers."

158
00:09:10,196 --> 00:09:12,446
I seem to be the only person
in New York

159
00:09:12,530 --> 00:09:14,821
who still believed
in the one-on-one relationship.

160
00:09:14,905 --> 00:09:17,155
Mr. Big and I
were actually doing sleep-overs.

161
00:09:17,863 --> 00:09:19,030
Which one?

162
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:21,613
This one.

163
00:09:27,988 --> 00:09:31,071
You better be careful.
I could get used to this.

164
00:09:31,613 --> 00:09:34,488
Why is it that putting a tie
around a man's neck

165
00:09:34,571 --> 00:09:37,071
is sometimes even sexier
than taking it off?

166
00:09:37,446 --> 00:09:39,030
What are you doing for lunch today?

167
00:09:39,113 --> 00:09:41,988
I could maybe swing an hour
between meetings.

168
00:09:42,071 --> 00:09:46,113
No. Sorry, I can't.

169
00:09:46,196 --> 00:09:48,988
- I have to interview someone.
- About what?

170
00:09:49,363 --> 00:09:52,321
Threesomes. Ever done one?

171
00:09:52,696 --> 00:09:54,238
Sure. Who hasn't?

172
00:09:55,238 --> 00:09:58,155
Really. With who?

173
00:09:58,905 --> 00:09:59,988
My ex-wife.

174
00:10:00,613 --> 00:10:03,238
Suddenly my column
was the last thing on my mind.

175
00:10:04,405 --> 00:10:05,530
You were married?

176
00:10:05,613 --> 00:10:09,530
Yeah…
I thought I told you.

177
00:10:10,821 --> 00:10:12,613
No, you didn't.

178
00:10:13,530 --> 00:10:15,655
An ex-wife. That's a new twist.

179
00:10:15,738 --> 00:10:18,946
Yeah. And they had wild sex. Threesomes.
We don't have wild sex.

180
00:10:19,030 --> 00:10:22,946
We used to, but now we have sweet sex.
Wild always beats out sweet.

181
00:10:23,030 --> 00:10:24,613
But he's not with her anymore.

182
00:10:24,696 --> 00:10:26,988
Well, it's probably because
they stopped having wild sex.

183
00:10:27,071 --> 00:10:28,821
You know, that's why Ken's fucking me.

184
00:10:28,905 --> 00:10:30,655
His wife won't give him a blow job.

185
00:10:30,738 --> 00:10:31,988
Is that supposed to make me feel better?

186
00:10:32,071 --> 00:10:35,030
He's never gonna leave his wife
for you, you know? They never do.

187
00:10:35,113 --> 00:10:38,821
Thank God. Who needs the trouble?
This is ideal. No muss, no fuss.

188
00:10:38,905 --> 00:10:40,821
Sounds like you're selling
toilet bowl cleaner.

189
00:10:41,155 --> 00:10:43,155
Does this color turn you on?

190
00:10:43,571 --> 00:10:46,155
You had to hand it to Miranda.
She was determined.

191
00:10:46,238 --> 00:10:47,946
It's a little bit orange.

192
00:10:48,030 --> 00:10:50,530
You know, there's only
one thing left to do.

193
00:10:50,613 --> 00:10:52,446
What? Leave him before he leaves me?

194
00:10:52,530 --> 00:10:54,946
You kidding? Check out the ex.

195
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,863
Charlotte was right. We don't
really know the people we sleep with.

196
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,155
After all, what did I really know
about Mr. Big?

197
00:11:06,238 --> 00:11:08,071
Except he had an ex-wife named Barbara,

198
00:11:08,155 --> 00:11:10,321
who, I quickly discovered,
worked in publishing.

199
00:11:10,405 --> 00:11:11,821
My plan was simple.

200
00:11:11,905 --> 00:11:15,696
I'd pitch her a steamy, bodice-ripping
paperback which she'd probably reject,

201
00:11:15,780 --> 00:11:18,780
but at least I'd get five minutes
face-to-face with her.

202
00:11:18,863 --> 00:11:19,863
Carrie?

203
00:11:21,113 --> 00:11:22,988
Come right in. Barbara's ready for you.

204
00:11:23,821 --> 00:11:25,988
Okay, that's good.

205
00:11:26,071 --> 00:11:27,155
Thanks. Bye.

206
00:11:27,238 --> 00:11:30,530
Carrie Bradshaw. I am so excited.

207
00:11:30,613 --> 00:11:32,030
- Oh.
- Sit down.

208
00:11:32,405 --> 00:11:34,071
I'm a huge fan of your work.

209
00:11:34,155 --> 00:11:36,363
Good taste and beautiful.
Could it get worse?

210
00:11:36,446 --> 00:11:40,780
Oh. Special Olympics chairwoman.

211
00:11:40,863 --> 00:11:43,238
Sorry. I haven't hung it yet.

212
00:11:43,613 --> 00:11:45,738
So, I'm dying to hear your pitch.

213
00:11:45,821 --> 00:11:47,946
I never knew you were interested
in writing children's books.

214
00:11:49,071 --> 00:11:52,446
Well, who doesn't love children's books?

215
00:11:53,196 --> 00:11:56,071
Five minutes of bodice-ripping
material out the window.

216
00:11:56,155 --> 00:12:00,196
So I did what any writer would do.
I pulled an idea out of my ass.

217
00:12:00,988 --> 00:12:07,738
Well, my story is about
a little girl named Cathy…

218
00:12:08,905 --> 00:12:09,988
Little Cathy.

219
00:12:10,863 --> 00:12:12,655
And what makes Little Cathy special?

220
00:12:13,196 --> 00:12:17,196
Well, she's got these magic…

221
00:12:18,738 --> 00:12:19,988
cigarettes.

222
00:12:20,613 --> 00:12:23,488
- She has magic cigarettes?
- Yes.

223
00:12:23,571 --> 00:12:26,321
Little Cathy and her magic cigarettes.

224
00:12:27,488 --> 00:12:29,196
And whenever she lights up,

225
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,488
she can go anywhere
in the whole wide world, you know…

226
00:12:32,946 --> 00:12:35,280
Arabia, New Jersey.

227
00:12:35,696 --> 00:12:38,571
I mean, that stuff is all gonna be
worked out, of course.

228
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,155
You want to write a children's book
about smoking?

229
00:12:42,238 --> 00:12:44,655
Well, it's a…
It's a children's book for adults.

230
00:12:50,696 --> 00:12:52,571
You are outrageous. I love it.

231
00:12:52,655 --> 00:12:54,155
I thought you might.

232
00:12:54,238 --> 00:12:58,280
I have been dying to do something
with an edge. This could be great.

233
00:12:58,363 --> 00:12:59,821
It was the last straw.

234
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,446
She was smart, beautiful,
and she got me.

235
00:13:03,863 --> 00:13:05,280
I'd have to kill her.

236
00:13:07,780 --> 00:13:09,446
Meanwhile, Samantha was about to have

237
00:13:09,530 --> 00:13:12,030
her own close encounter
with the third kind.

238
00:13:12,446 --> 00:13:14,280
- Oh, I'm sorry.
- Sorry.

239
00:13:14,363 --> 00:13:15,988
- Ken!
- Sam!

240
00:13:16,071 --> 00:13:18,613
- You two know each other?
- Sure.

241
00:13:18,696 --> 00:13:22,655
Not really. Ruth, this is Sam. Samantha.

242
00:13:22,738 --> 00:13:24,363
She bought some pinot noir from me.

243
00:13:24,446 --> 00:13:27,030
- Sam, this is my wife Ruth.
- Hi.

244
00:13:27,113 --> 00:13:28,196
Hi.

245
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,155
Okay, we should be going. See you.

246
00:13:32,905 --> 00:13:34,821
That afternoon was a first
for Samantha.

247
00:13:34,905 --> 00:13:38,030
She successfully screwed a guy
in under two minutes.

248
00:13:40,738 --> 00:13:44,196
The more Miranda analyzed,
the worse her nightmares got.

249
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,071
So, the four of us get into a cab,

250
00:13:47,155 --> 00:13:48,738
only they won't let me sit in back
with them.

251
00:13:48,821 --> 00:13:50,405
They make me ride up front
with the driver,

252
00:13:50,488 --> 00:13:53,405
who happens to be the original Chris
from The Partridge Family.

253
00:13:53,738 --> 00:13:56,446
What I'm hearing is
that you're still very upset

254
00:13:56,530 --> 00:13:58,738
about being sexually rejected
by your friends.

255
00:13:59,363 --> 00:14:00,738
Let me ask you something.

256
00:14:01,946 --> 00:14:03,863
Would you do a threesome with me?

257
00:14:06,821 --> 00:14:09,863
I think we need to talk about
why you're asking me that.

258
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:11,905
I take that as a no.

259
00:14:13,196 --> 00:14:15,446
That night,
I thought I could put

260
00:14:15,571 --> 00:14:17,655
the whole Barbara thing out of my mind.

261
00:14:18,071 --> 00:14:20,446
After all, Mr. Big was with me now.

262
00:14:22,655 --> 00:14:25,988
Nibbling his ear lobes?
How sweet.

263
00:14:26,071 --> 00:14:28,030
Let me show you how it's really done.

264
00:14:32,321 --> 00:14:34,196
So I guess you couldn't avoid
a threesome

265
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,821
because even if you're the only person
in the bed,

266
00:14:37,155 --> 00:14:39,571
someone has always
been there before you.

267
00:14:39,946 --> 00:14:43,113
Hey. What just happened? Where'd you go?

268
00:14:45,155 --> 00:14:46,280
I was preoccupied.

269
00:14:46,780 --> 00:14:48,405
No kidding. About what?

270
00:14:48,863 --> 00:14:51,446
Your ex-wife's breasts,
your ex-wife's lips,

271
00:14:51,530 --> 00:14:53,321
your ex-wife's long legs.

272
00:14:54,196 --> 00:14:55,446
My column.

273
00:14:56,696 --> 00:15:00,655
You know, I didn't tell you I was
married because it was a long time ago.

274
00:15:01,446 --> 00:15:02,655
What happened?

275
00:15:03,613 --> 00:15:06,280
Alienation of affection
followed by divorce.

276
00:15:08,863 --> 00:15:10,571
Let's not talk about the past.

277
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:12,571
Please?

278
00:15:15,821 --> 00:15:20,113
What Mr. Big didn't realize was
the past was sleeping right next to me.

279
00:15:24,821 --> 00:15:25,806
Hey.

280
00:15:25,821 --> 00:15:28,863
The next day, the flesh-and-blood
Barbara asked me to lunch.

281
00:15:28,946 --> 00:15:31,863
- Hi.
- Hi. Thanks for meeting me.

282
00:15:31,946 --> 00:15:34,155
Oh. Thanks for inviting me.

283
00:15:34,655 --> 00:15:36,988
Wow! You changed your hair.

284
00:15:37,363 --> 00:15:39,946
Oh. Well, thanks.

285
00:15:40,655 --> 00:15:44,530
- Listen, I have some not great news.
- I'm back with Mr. Big?

286
00:15:44,613 --> 00:15:47,655
The head guys didn't go
for Little Cathy. But fuck them.

287
00:15:47,738 --> 00:15:50,071
They wouldn't know a good book
if it bit them in the ass.

288
00:15:50,613 --> 00:15:51,780
Yeah, fuck them.

289
00:15:52,446 --> 00:15:53,821
I still love the project.

290
00:15:53,905 --> 00:15:56,113
And at the risk of sounding
like a groupie,

291
00:15:56,780 --> 00:15:58,863
I'd really like it
if we could become friends.

292
00:15:59,988 --> 00:16:01,238
Friends?

293
00:16:01,863 --> 00:16:05,863
Two hours and four chardonnays later,
I was sleeping with the enemy.

294
00:16:05,946 --> 00:16:09,655
- So, never been married?
- Once. Long time ago.

295
00:16:09,738 --> 00:16:11,155
Really? What happened?

296
00:16:11,821 --> 00:16:15,571
He had a wandering eye.
Wandered right over to my best friend.

297
00:16:17,696 --> 00:16:19,821
So what about you?
Are you seeing anyone?

298
00:16:22,196 --> 00:16:23,571
No one special.

299
00:16:24,905 --> 00:16:27,905
For Samantha, the shit
was about to hit the phone.

300
00:16:29,863 --> 00:16:31,113
Hello.

301
00:16:31,196 --> 00:16:32,946
It's over. I told my wife.

302
00:16:33,405 --> 00:16:35,571
- Who is this?
- It's Ken.

303
00:16:36,363 --> 00:16:39,155
Wait. You told Ruth about us?

304
00:16:39,238 --> 00:16:41,821
I'm in love with you.
Now we can be together.

305
00:16:41,905 --> 00:16:44,655
No, no, no.

306
00:16:44,738 --> 00:16:45,946
Hang on.

307
00:16:47,821 --> 00:16:50,571
- Hello.
- Samantha? This is Ruth Scheer,

308
00:16:51,071 --> 00:16:52,071
Ken's wife.

309
00:16:52,613 --> 00:16:55,238
- I found your number in his sock drawer.
- Hang on.

310
00:16:56,613 --> 00:16:58,780
Listen to me. You love your wife.

311
00:16:58,863 --> 00:17:02,155
- No. I'm in love with you.
- No, no, no, no, no, no, no!

312
00:17:02,238 --> 00:17:07,363
Sam's "no muss, no fuss" affair
was starting to feel very mussy.

313
00:17:07,446 --> 00:17:09,821
- I'm back.
- I don't know who you are,

314
00:17:09,905 --> 00:17:12,405
but Ken and I love each other very much.

315
00:17:12,488 --> 00:17:14,446
Of course you do.

316
00:17:15,030 --> 00:17:17,321
And we have an unshakable bond.

317
00:17:17,405 --> 00:17:20,446
Whatever it takes,
I'm gonna keep this marriage together.

318
00:17:20,530 --> 00:17:23,863
Good for you. Now listen, Ruth,
this was a huge mistake.

319
00:17:23,946 --> 00:17:26,446
It didn't mean anything.
It was just sex.

320
00:17:26,530 --> 00:17:28,113
Exactly!

321
00:17:28,696 --> 00:17:31,446
And if
being sexually adventuresome

322
00:17:31,530 --> 00:17:35,905
will keep this marriage together,
then I am prepared to join you…

323
00:17:36,696 --> 00:17:37,696
with him…

324
00:17:38,571 --> 00:17:39,571
in bed.

325
00:17:41,530 --> 00:17:45,905
Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no, no.

326
00:17:45,988 --> 00:17:50,280
Samantha was a guest star.
Series regular was not in her contract.

327
00:17:52,821 --> 00:17:56,030
That night at the Attention Deficit
Disorder Masked Ball,

328
00:17:56,113 --> 00:17:58,988
Charlotte felt free
to indulge her fantasy.

329
00:17:59,696 --> 00:18:03,530
It's amazing what some sequins on
a stick can do to free up inhibitions.

330
00:18:03,613 --> 00:18:07,488
So, who here is your type?

331
00:18:16,738 --> 00:18:18,238
Do you like peacocks?

332
00:18:18,613 --> 00:18:19,905
Do you?

333
00:18:24,363 --> 00:18:26,571
Then,
Charlotte did the unthinkable.

334
00:18:30,321 --> 00:18:33,696
Oh, my God.
She winked at me.

335
00:18:33,780 --> 00:18:35,030
Excellent.

336
00:18:35,363 --> 00:18:36,738
I need to get out of here.

337
00:18:45,988 --> 00:18:48,363
Hey, you okay?

338
00:18:48,446 --> 00:18:50,280
Yeah, I think so.

339
00:18:50,363 --> 00:18:51,696
So, how'd it feel?

340
00:18:52,863 --> 00:18:53,863
Weird.

341
00:18:54,571 --> 00:18:56,071
Well, I enjoyed it.

342
00:18:58,696 --> 00:19:00,988
- I do have another fantasy.
- What's that?

343
00:19:01,696 --> 00:19:03,696
Doing it upstairs at a party.

344
00:19:23,405 --> 00:19:24,405
Can I join you?

345
00:19:26,738 --> 00:19:28,946
She realized
that this was her moment.

346
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,446
If she was going to take the plunge,
it was now or never.

347
00:19:52,946 --> 00:19:55,655
Unfortunately, it was Jack
who plunged first.

348
00:19:56,446 --> 00:19:59,613
Apparently someone else's fire
was a little stronger than Charlotte's.

349
00:19:59,946 --> 00:20:02,405
She was not the guest star
in this fantasy.

350
00:20:12,821 --> 00:20:14,571
Meanwhile, at a bar downtown…

351
00:20:22,655 --> 00:20:25,488
- Miranda?
- Hi.

352
00:20:26,571 --> 00:20:27,863
What a relief.

353
00:20:29,321 --> 00:20:33,155
Most of the women who answered our ad,
well, they were, you know, kind of…

354
00:20:33,238 --> 00:20:34,238
Butt ugly.

355
00:20:35,155 --> 00:20:36,821
Nothing like you.

356
00:20:38,238 --> 00:20:39,223
Thanks.

357
00:20:39,238 --> 00:20:41,196
We've never done anything
like this before.

358
00:20:42,571 --> 00:20:44,946
It's a huge fantasy of Mark's.

359
00:20:45,030 --> 00:20:47,405
I offered to do it
for this 30th birthday.

360
00:20:48,321 --> 00:20:50,113
Whatever happened to giving a nice pen?

361
00:20:54,613 --> 00:20:56,780
So are you doing anything tonight?

362
00:20:58,405 --> 00:21:02,280
Let me just be clear here.
You want to do a threesome with me.

363
00:21:04,655 --> 00:21:06,821
You know, if you're busy, we understand.

364
00:21:07,988 --> 00:21:11,196
I tell you what. Let me just make
a quick phone call. Okay?

365
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,988
That night,
Miranda finally got her validation.

366
00:21:27,863 --> 00:21:30,321
Her shrink had suggested
she come three times a week.

367
00:21:33,030 --> 00:21:35,446
I didn't see Mr. Big for eight days.

368
00:21:35,530 --> 00:21:38,613
- Well, that was a great meal.
- Yeah, it was.

369
00:21:40,446 --> 00:21:41,946
Actually, the food was terrible,

370
00:21:42,030 --> 00:21:43,946
and we were both talking
to each other like strangers.

371
00:21:44,030 --> 00:21:45,446
What is wrong?

372
00:21:46,113 --> 00:21:48,571
Look, you tell me you have an ex-wife.

373
00:21:48,655 --> 00:21:51,655
You tell me you guys had a three-way.
Yes, I asked.

374
00:21:51,738 --> 00:21:55,446
But you drop this big bomb,
and you don't even give me any details.

375
00:21:55,530 --> 00:21:58,071
You don't even tell me why you broke up.

376
00:21:58,988 --> 00:21:59,988
I cheated on her.

377
00:22:00,071 --> 00:22:01,905
- Yeah, I know. She told me at lunch.
- I know you know.

378
00:22:01,988 --> 00:22:02,988
She told me she told you.

379
00:22:03,613 --> 00:22:05,196
- She told you?
- She told me.

380
00:22:05,613 --> 00:22:06,905
See, that's another thing.

381
00:22:06,988 --> 00:22:09,238
You didn't tell me
that you're still talking to her.

382
00:22:09,821 --> 00:22:11,780
I still talk to all my ex-wives.

383
00:22:11,863 --> 00:22:14,071
I'm so not finding that funny.

384
00:22:14,696 --> 00:22:17,113
Oh, come… Listen, wait a minute.

385
00:22:18,321 --> 00:22:20,446
You know, the reason
we had the threesome

386
00:22:20,530 --> 00:22:24,071
is because we were both looking
for something or someone else.

387
00:22:31,321 --> 00:22:34,363
Do you know anyone
who's right for me? Hmm?

388
00:22:36,613 --> 00:22:40,571
How tricky things can be

389
00:22:41,863 --> 00:22:45,488
But I really do believe that…

390
00:22:46,613 --> 00:22:48,196
And then it was just
the two of us.

391
00:22:48,988 --> 00:22:51,655
And I realized the real appeal
of the threesome…

392
00:22:51,738 --> 00:22:52,863
it was easy.

393
00:22:52,946 --> 00:22:54,946
It's intimacy that's the bitch.

394
00:22:55,030 --> 00:23:01,946
Listen here
Some things are meant to be

395
00:23:07,488 --> 00:23:10,155
Tried to take it slow

396
00:23:10,238 --> 00:23:12,530
Tried to lose control
