1
00:00:47,860 --> 00:00:49,985
In a city of perfect people,

2
00:00:50,443 --> 00:00:52,985
no one was more perfect than Brooke.

3
00:00:55,068 --> 00:00:58,776
She was an interior designer
who only dated A-list guys.

4
00:01:00,651 --> 00:01:04,276
For Brooke, every Saturday night
was like the senior prom.

5
00:01:08,110 --> 00:01:10,276
So, when she got married,

6
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,651
we were all dying to see
which one had made the cut.

7
00:01:14,735 --> 00:01:15,678
Hey!

8
00:01:15,693 --> 00:01:19,151
Was I the only one who remembered
that Brooke once described this man

9
00:01:19,235 --> 00:01:21,693
as more boring than exposed brick?

10
00:01:22,943 --> 00:01:24,985
Hi, thank you so much for coming.

11
00:01:28,776 --> 00:01:31,693
It was your average
$100,000 wedding.

12
00:01:34,735 --> 00:01:37,235
Investment bankers
and the women who hate them,

13
00:01:39,235 --> 00:01:42,026
classmates from Steiner,
Dalton and Brown,

14
00:01:42,943 --> 00:01:44,110
and us.

15
00:01:44,901 --> 00:01:46,526
We looked like The Witches of Eastwick.

16
00:01:59,651 --> 00:02:03,401
A wedding this size always
has two singles tables.

17
00:02:04,901 --> 00:02:06,693
We were at the other one.

18
00:02:10,735 --> 00:02:11,818
Hello.

19
00:02:14,318 --> 00:02:17,401
Hi. I'm Bernie Turtletaub,
friend of the groom.

20
00:02:20,151 --> 00:02:21,193
It was the Turtle.

21
00:02:21,276 --> 00:02:23,068
A Manhattan legend known for two things,

22
00:02:23,151 --> 00:02:25,193
good investments and bad breath.

23
00:02:25,735 --> 00:02:27,276
God, my feet are killing me.

24
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:28,485
Here, sit down.

25
00:02:28,568 --> 00:02:30,485
I can't.
This outfit only works if I'm standing.

26
00:02:30,901 --> 00:02:32,235
Ooh.

27
00:02:32,318 --> 00:02:34,485
I think it works either way.

28
00:02:34,943 --> 00:02:37,776
You know, I think
I'm at that table over there.

29
00:02:41,860 --> 00:02:43,985
Your friend is gorgeous.

30
00:02:45,276 --> 00:02:47,151
What do I have to do
to get to know her better?

31
00:02:55,318 --> 00:02:58,360
Do you think the pears
in this tart are bosc or bartlett?

32
00:02:59,068 --> 00:03:00,443
Who cares?

33
00:03:00,526 --> 00:03:02,985
Two hours later, we were bored.

34
00:03:03,651 --> 00:03:05,568
Supplies were dwindling

35
00:03:05,651 --> 00:03:07,818
and one of our passengers
had jumped ship.

36
00:03:08,276 --> 00:03:10,318
Are we gonna stick around
and catch the bouquet?

37
00:03:11,735 --> 00:03:13,776
That is so not going to happen.

38
00:03:14,110 --> 00:03:16,776
Bosc! They've got to be bosc.

39
00:03:23,235 --> 00:03:25,401
Can you believe I finally did it?

40
00:03:28,276 --> 00:03:31,651
You're next.
Bill's got some great single friends.

41
00:03:35,651 --> 00:03:38,776
It's always better to marry someone
who loves you more than you love them.

42
00:03:46,068 --> 00:03:49,276
People are always telling me
things I don't want to hear…

43
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,401
But this one crossed the line.

44
00:03:53,401 --> 00:03:55,443
Hey, did I wake you?

45
00:03:55,526 --> 00:03:57,610
- Not at all.
- Question.

46
00:03:57,693 --> 00:04:00,068
Why do people get married
if they're not in love?

47
00:04:01,026 --> 00:04:02,235
I don't know.

48
00:04:02,568 --> 00:04:07,026
Companionship, guilt, political asylum?

49
00:04:07,110 --> 00:04:10,610
- Why did you get married?
- I was a fool in love.

50
00:04:10,693 --> 00:04:12,235
Oh, that is so sweet.

51
00:04:13,485 --> 00:04:16,860
- And then I was a fool in divorce court.
- Yeah, now you're just a fool.

52
00:04:17,526 --> 00:04:21,151
Exactly. Which is why I'm never
getting married again.

53
00:04:21,860 --> 00:04:24,276
Suddenly, I had to concentrate
on breathing.

54
00:04:26,485 --> 00:04:29,401
- Are you in bed with someone?
- No. Are you?

55
00:04:29,901 --> 00:04:33,068
Just three slices of wedding cake.
You jealous?

56
00:04:33,151 --> 00:04:36,318
That depends. What are your plans
for the frosting?

57
00:04:36,985 --> 00:04:39,151
- Good night.
- Good night.

58
00:04:41,026 --> 00:04:42,776
I hung up
the phone wondering…

59
00:04:43,235 --> 00:04:45,735
Could I date a man
who would never get married?

60
00:04:48,943 --> 00:04:52,693
Wow! A guy who doesn't want
to get married! Film at 11:00!

61
00:04:52,776 --> 00:04:54,735
Don't tell me you're surprised by this.

62
00:04:54,818 --> 00:04:58,151
You know who wants to get married?
Men who miss their mommies.

63
00:04:58,235 --> 00:05:00,360
Maybe this wasn't
my target audience.

64
00:05:00,443 --> 00:05:02,776
Am I the only one who thinks
this is a major bummer?

65
00:05:02,860 --> 00:05:04,568
What if you spend five years with him

66
00:05:04,651 --> 00:05:06,360
and in the end you have
nothing to show for it?

67
00:05:06,443 --> 00:05:07,901
I wasn't even thinking
about getting married,

68
00:05:07,985 --> 00:05:09,151
until he told me
I couldn't think about it.

69
00:05:09,235 --> 00:05:10,318
Now it's all I can think about.

70
00:05:10,401 --> 00:05:12,526
Just be cool. You don't care.

71
00:05:12,901 --> 00:05:14,401
Then he'll wonder why you don't,

72
00:05:14,485 --> 00:05:16,568
which will make him realize
that he does,

73
00:05:16,651 --> 00:05:18,526
and then it's a whole new ball game.

74
00:05:18,610 --> 00:05:21,151
So in your world,
it's always sixth grade, is that it?

75
00:05:21,235 --> 00:05:23,401
I think, that a relationship
has to be based on

76
00:05:23,485 --> 00:05:26,776
honesty and communication
if it has any chance of succeeding.

77
00:05:26,860 --> 00:05:30,193
Okay. If you were 25,
that would be adorable,

78
00:05:30,276 --> 00:05:32,485
but you're 32 now,
so that's just stupid.

79
00:05:32,568 --> 00:05:33,901
I can't just ignore it, can I?

80
00:05:33,985 --> 00:05:34,985
- Yes!
- No!

81
00:05:35,026 --> 00:05:38,901
What's the big deal? In 50 years,
men are gonna be obsolete anyway.

82
00:05:38,985 --> 00:05:42,568
I mean, already you can't talk to them,
you don't need them to have kids with,

83
00:05:42,651 --> 00:05:44,776
you don't even need them
to have sex with anymore,

84
00:05:44,860 --> 00:05:47,026
as I've just very pleasantly discovered.

85
00:05:47,110 --> 00:05:50,193
Uh-oh. Sounds like somebody just got
their first vibrator.

86
00:05:50,276 --> 00:05:53,735
Not first. Ultimate.
And I think I'm in love.

87
00:05:53,818 --> 00:05:57,235
Oh, please, stop! This is so sad.

88
00:05:57,318 --> 00:06:00,443
I'm not gonna replace a man
with some battery-operated device.

89
00:06:00,526 --> 00:06:02,151
You say that, but you haven't met
"The Rabbit."

90
00:06:02,235 --> 00:06:03,985
Oh, come on.
If you're gonna get a vibrator,

91
00:06:04,068 --> 00:06:05,651
at least get one called "The Horse."

92
00:06:05,735 --> 00:06:08,860
A vibrator does not
call you on your birthday.

93
00:06:08,943 --> 00:06:10,860
A vibrator doesn't send flowers
the next day,

94
00:06:10,943 --> 00:06:13,610
and you cannot take a vibrator home
to meet your mother.

95
00:06:13,693 --> 00:06:18,818
Well, I know where my next orgasm is
coming from. Who here can say as much?

96
00:06:24,235 --> 00:06:28,276
That night, Samantha went
on a date with a flesh and blood man

97
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,651
while the three of us went in search
of furrier companionship.

98
00:06:31,735 --> 00:06:35,651
Ladies, I'd like you to meet the Rabbit.

99
00:06:36,526 --> 00:06:38,401
$92?

100
00:06:38,485 --> 00:06:40,776
Please! Think about the money
we spend on shoes.

101
00:06:40,860 --> 00:06:44,526
I have no intention of using that.
I'm saving sex for someone I love.

102
00:06:44,610 --> 00:06:46,693
Fantastic. Is there a man
in the picture?

103
00:06:48,318 --> 00:06:51,610
Look! Oh, it's so cute.

104
00:06:51,693 --> 00:06:55,151
Oh, I thought it would be all scary
and weird, but it isn't. It's pink…

105
00:06:55,235 --> 00:06:56,443
For girls!

106
00:06:57,068 --> 00:07:01,401
Look. The little bunny has
a little face like Peter Rabbit.

107
00:07:01,485 --> 00:07:04,776
It's even got a remote.
I mean, how lazy do you have to be?

108
00:07:06,110 --> 00:07:08,651
Later that night,
back at the Briar Patch…

109
00:07:09,151 --> 00:07:10,985
Wow.

110
00:07:15,735 --> 00:07:16,818
Hello?

111
00:07:16,901 --> 00:07:20,610
You are not going to believe
the evening I've had.

112
00:07:25,110 --> 00:07:27,651
- Are you listening to me?
- Yeah.

113
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,568
Jerry, who Samantha met
at Brooke's wedding,

114
00:07:31,651 --> 00:07:34,860
took her to Lava,
New York's restaurant du jour.

115
00:07:41,526 --> 00:07:43,276
From the moment
I saw you at that wedding,

116
00:07:43,818 --> 00:07:45,526
I knew we would be have dinner together.

117
00:07:46,276 --> 00:07:48,193
Well, aren't you cocky!

118
00:07:48,651 --> 00:07:50,526
I'm the kind of guy, I see something…

119
00:07:51,610 --> 00:07:52,860
I like it…

120
00:07:53,526 --> 00:07:54,651
I go after it.

121
00:07:55,610 --> 00:07:57,235
You sound like my kind of guy.

122
00:07:58,235 --> 00:08:01,276
- Hold that thought. I'll be right back.
- Okay.

123
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,193
Ten minutes
and a couple of cocktails later…

124
00:08:14,735 --> 00:08:16,151
Where the hell is he?

125
00:08:21,443 --> 00:08:22,568
Excuse me.

126
00:08:30,193 --> 00:08:33,485
He obviously had seen something
else he liked and gone after it.

127
00:08:43,110 --> 00:08:46,651
Then, just when she thought
her evening couldn't get any worse…

128
00:08:46,735 --> 00:08:49,068
Samantha? Hey, Samantha!

129
00:08:49,443 --> 00:08:50,610
It's me.

130
00:08:51,610 --> 00:08:54,026
Bernie Turtletaub from the wedding.

131
00:08:55,610 --> 00:08:56,818
Oh, right.

132
00:08:56,901 --> 00:08:58,526
Are you here all by yourself?

133
00:08:59,235 --> 00:09:01,193
Well, sort of. I'm…

134
00:09:01,276 --> 00:09:03,026
Sit down, join me!

135
00:09:07,735 --> 00:09:09,485
God, you look great.

136
00:09:09,568 --> 00:09:11,943
What Samantha needed now
more than anything

137
00:09:12,026 --> 00:09:13,985
was a compliment from anyone.

138
00:09:20,193 --> 00:09:23,360
I can't believe the synchronicity.
I was just thinking about you!

139
00:09:23,943 --> 00:09:24,985
Uh-huh.

140
00:09:26,068 --> 00:09:29,235
So, do you like this shirt?

141
00:09:29,610 --> 00:09:31,776
My ex-girlfriend picked it out for me.

142
00:09:32,776 --> 00:09:37,568
Honey, no offense, but your breath…

143
00:09:37,651 --> 00:09:38,943
I know.

144
00:09:39,026 --> 00:09:43,485
It's these Chinese herbs I'm taking.
You know, for longer life.

145
00:09:43,985 --> 00:09:45,360
Well, with breath like that,

146
00:09:45,443 --> 00:09:48,443
you're gonna live
a very long life… alone.

147
00:09:49,901 --> 00:09:52,360
I killed the last woman
who talked to me like that.

148
00:09:54,818 --> 00:09:58,693
Samantha was impressed.
The Turtle had attempted a joke.

149
00:10:05,485 --> 00:10:07,276
Once we get the breath under control,

150
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,943
I'm going to take him shopping
for a whole new wardrobe.

151
00:10:10,526 --> 00:10:12,026
He's a cute little fixer-upper.

152
00:10:12,110 --> 00:10:14,568
Sweetheart, he's a man,
not a brownstone.

153
00:10:14,651 --> 00:10:18,360
Honey, when I'm through with him,
he'll be Gracie Mansion.

154
00:10:19,818 --> 00:10:21,693
Samantha and the Turtle?

155
00:10:22,068 --> 00:10:24,818
But then again, I'm dating a man
who will never get married,

156
00:10:24,901 --> 00:10:27,110
and Miranda is having
a meaningful relationship

157
00:10:27,193 --> 00:10:29,860
with something that comes in a box
from Japan.

158
00:10:31,110 --> 00:10:35,610
In a city of great expectations, is it
time to settle for what you can get?

159
00:10:36,693 --> 00:10:38,318
I needed some answers.

160
00:10:38,401 --> 00:10:40,360
Later that week, I met Brooke.

161
00:10:40,443 --> 00:10:43,068
Just back from her honeymoon,
she was all business…

162
00:10:43,151 --> 00:10:44,651
The business of marriage.

163
00:10:44,735 --> 00:10:46,985
I'd like to return these.

164
00:10:47,318 --> 00:10:50,568
Is there any way you can melt them down
into one decent gift?

165
00:10:51,026 --> 00:10:52,401
His friends.

166
00:10:52,943 --> 00:10:55,776
So, how is it being married?

167
00:10:55,860 --> 00:10:59,193
It's fabulous. I feel like
an enormous weight has been lifted.

168
00:10:59,860 --> 00:11:02,610
- And that's a good thing.
- What's that supposed to mean?

169
00:11:03,151 --> 00:11:07,443
Oh, just means you're happy
with Allen, right?

170
00:11:07,526 --> 00:11:09,443
Yes, I'm happy.

171
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,193
Well, then I'm happy for you.

172
00:11:14,818 --> 00:11:17,860
Hey, listen, I hope I didn't give you
the wrong idea.

173
00:11:17,943 --> 00:11:20,485
I think Allen's great. I just…

174
00:11:20,818 --> 00:11:22,568
I mean, he's incredibly successful.

175
00:11:22,651 --> 00:11:26,735
We all think we're Carolyn Bessette.
One day John-John's out of the picture,

176
00:11:26,818 --> 00:11:29,901
and we're happy just to have some guy
who can throw around a frisbee.

177
00:11:29,985 --> 00:11:32,151
Oh! Look who's here. Hey, you two!

178
00:11:32,235 --> 00:11:34,318
- Hey!
- What a small world!

179
00:11:34,401 --> 00:11:36,026
I couldn't believe it.

180
00:11:36,110 --> 00:11:38,651
It was the Turtle wearing Helmut Lange.

181
00:11:38,735 --> 00:11:41,568
- Wow, he looks great!
- Doesn't he?

182
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:45,345
Oh, he twirls!

183
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,151
- What do you think?
- Fabulous.

184
00:11:47,235 --> 00:11:48,651
He's like a whole new person.

185
00:11:50,985 --> 00:11:52,151
Don't I have a three o'clock?

186
00:11:52,235 --> 00:11:54,568
Oh. That's right. I'm taking him
to Bliss for a facial.

187
00:11:54,651 --> 00:11:57,610
- Oh, enjoy.
- See you later. Bye.

188
00:11:57,693 --> 00:11:59,276
You know, I have to run, too.

189
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:00,360
- I'll call you.
- Okay

190
00:12:00,901 --> 00:12:02,151
Smart girl.

191
00:12:02,568 --> 00:12:04,318
She seems happy.

192
00:12:05,526 --> 00:12:09,110
Samantha left with the Turtle,
Brooke left with a better gift,

193
00:12:09,193 --> 00:12:12,901
and I left wondering if everyone
in Manhattan was settling.

194
00:12:13,651 --> 00:12:15,443
My Zen teacher once told me

195
00:12:15,526 --> 00:12:18,776
that there was nothing like yoga
to quiet a busy mind.

196
00:12:18,860 --> 00:12:21,276
Just as I had reached the moment
of no thought…

197
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,776
- I think I broke my vagina.
- Sorry. Am I pulling too hard?

198
00:12:23,860 --> 00:12:26,860
No! Metaphorically, I mean.
With the Rabbit.

199
00:12:26,943 --> 00:12:29,235
- Oh… So you've been using it!
- Yes.

200
00:12:29,318 --> 00:12:30,818
And I'm scared if I keep using it,

201
00:12:30,901 --> 00:12:32,985
I'll never be able to enjoy sex
with a man again.

202
00:12:33,068 --> 00:12:34,110
Why?

203
00:12:34,193 --> 00:12:36,610
Well, have you ever been
with a man, you know,

204
00:12:36,693 --> 00:12:40,276
and he's doing everything
and it feels good,

205
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,235
but somehow you just can't manage to…

206
00:12:43,318 --> 00:12:44,485
Come?

207
00:12:44,568 --> 00:12:45,901
Yeah.

208
00:12:45,985 --> 00:12:50,068
Well, it's weird, 'cause with the Rabbit
it's like every time, boom!

209
00:12:50,151 --> 00:12:53,610
And one time,
I came for like five minutes.

210
00:12:53,693 --> 00:12:55,443
Oh, Charlotte, honey, it's not illegal.

211
00:12:55,526 --> 00:12:59,026
Yeah, but no man ever did that.
I mean, I'm scared. What am I gonna do?

212
00:12:59,735 --> 00:13:03,068
Well, you know, you could still enjoy
sex with a man and the Rabbit.

213
00:13:03,151 --> 00:13:05,610
No, no. I'm done with it.

214
00:13:05,693 --> 00:13:08,151
That's it. I'm never gonna
touch that thing again.

215
00:13:11,943 --> 00:13:16,193
- I got to cancel on the ballet tonight.
- Oh, why?

216
00:13:17,693 --> 00:13:22,193
I'm expecting a phone call…

217
00:13:22,276 --> 00:13:24,276
long distance phone call, transatlantic.

218
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,610
Charlotte could never tell
a decent lie.

219
00:13:26,693 --> 00:13:28,568
I knew an addict when I saw one.

220
00:13:28,985 --> 00:13:33,901
I love Sleeping Beauty!
The music, the sex, the costumes!

221
00:13:33,985 --> 00:13:35,485
It's so romantic!

222
00:13:35,568 --> 00:13:37,985
You only like it
because she gets to sleep for 100 years,

223
00:13:38,068 --> 00:13:39,193
and she doesn't age.

224
00:13:39,276 --> 00:13:41,110
I invited Stanford
to the ballet.

225
00:13:41,193 --> 00:13:42,693
I knew he was available.

226
00:13:43,026 --> 00:13:45,276
Hey, Stanford, cute, huh?

227
00:13:46,818 --> 00:13:49,318
I've had it with the whole gay scene.

228
00:13:49,818 --> 00:13:52,985
It's so competitive. You won't believe
what happened to me last week.

229
00:13:53,693 --> 00:13:57,026
Evidently Stanford,
tired of bars and blind dates,

230
00:13:57,110 --> 00:13:58,985
decided to place a personal ad.

231
00:14:00,568 --> 00:14:05,443
He scheduled a rendezvous with the only
respondent on a cold, Sunday afternoon.

232
00:14:07,443 --> 00:14:09,693
Twenty minutes
and three false alarms later,

233
00:14:10,068 --> 00:14:11,985
Stanford was ready to call it quits…

234
00:14:13,318 --> 00:14:14,401
Stanford?

235
00:14:15,443 --> 00:14:16,651
Yes.

236
00:14:17,943 --> 00:14:20,526
Sorry. This is not gonna happen.

237
00:14:25,110 --> 00:14:27,151
It's so brutal out there.

238
00:14:27,235 --> 00:14:29,901
Even guys like me
don't want guys like me.

239
00:14:29,985 --> 00:14:31,735
I just don't have that gay look.

240
00:14:32,276 --> 00:14:34,776
I don't know. You look pretty gay to me.

241
00:14:35,526 --> 00:14:37,693
Come on, maybe it's just a phase.

242
00:14:37,776 --> 00:14:41,776
Puberty is a phase. Fifteen years
of rejection is a lifestyle.

243
00:14:42,193 --> 00:14:47,276
Sometimes I think I should just marry
a woman and get all the money.

244
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,360
- What is there, a cash prize?
- Oh, yeah.

245
00:14:49,443 --> 00:14:50,985
My grandmother gives
everyone in the family

246
00:14:51,068 --> 00:14:54,026
their inheritance when they get married.

247
00:14:54,485 --> 00:14:57,318
- She doesn't know you're gay?
- She doesn't believe in gay.

248
00:14:57,401 --> 00:14:59,985
Oh, really? That's funny.
Big doesn't believe in marriage.

249
00:15:00,068 --> 00:15:03,151
Maybe you should propose to me,
and we'll all live happily ever after.

250
00:15:03,735 --> 00:15:07,235
- You really do want it all.
- I don't know. Maybe nobody gets it all.

251
00:15:08,110 --> 00:15:10,818
Though, you do have a point.

252
00:15:11,318 --> 00:15:14,360
We're best friends.
We make each other laugh.

253
00:15:14,443 --> 00:15:16,276
We both sleep with men.

254
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,193
You know, this is not a bad idea at all.

255
00:15:19,276 --> 00:15:22,693
- Well, actually, I was kidding.
- I'm not! Think about it.

256
00:15:22,776 --> 00:15:25,276
Who else would keep you
in expensive shoes

257
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:26,943
and encourage you to cheat?

258
00:15:27,901 --> 00:15:29,193
Now you're talking!

259
00:15:29,276 --> 00:15:31,401
Friday night at the ballet
with a man

260
00:15:31,485 --> 00:15:33,985
who shared my passion
for hot men in tights.

261
00:15:34,735 --> 00:15:38,485
Saturday afternoon in bed with a man
who shared my passion for passion.

262
00:15:39,193 --> 00:15:41,485
Maybe there was such a thing
as having it all.

263
00:15:43,651 --> 00:15:45,485
What's that smile about?

264
00:15:46,485 --> 00:15:50,443
Oh, I got a marriage proposal
last night.

265
00:15:52,193 --> 00:15:53,901
- Really?
- Mmm.

266
00:15:54,901 --> 00:15:56,110
From whom?

267
00:15:56,693 --> 00:16:00,860
A very handsome, witty young man
about to come into his inheritance.

268
00:16:01,693 --> 00:16:05,526
Oh, I see. Anyone I know?

269
00:16:05,860 --> 00:16:08,818
Actually his name is Stanford.
Stanford Blatch.

270
00:16:10,985 --> 00:16:12,651
I thought he was gay.

271
00:16:12,985 --> 00:16:14,151
He is.

272
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,985
That should make
for an interesting column.

273
00:16:23,401 --> 00:16:25,526
What are you gonna do about sex?

274
00:16:25,610 --> 00:16:27,026
I have you.

275
00:16:30,901 --> 00:16:31,901
Oh.

276
00:16:33,735 --> 00:16:36,318
I guess you've got it all figured out…

277
00:16:38,193 --> 00:16:40,026
Mrs. Blatch.

278
00:16:40,110 --> 00:16:41,276
The more he mocked me,

279
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,943
the more convinced I became
that this idea was genius.

280
00:16:48,735 --> 00:16:51,651
That night, Miranda and I had plans
to join Charlotte

281
00:16:51,735 --> 00:16:53,776
for a gallery opening in Chelsea when…

282
00:16:58,818 --> 00:17:01,068
- Hello?
- Carrie, it's Charlotte.

283
00:17:01,401 --> 00:17:04,026
I'm really sorry,
but I'm gonna have to cancel.

284
00:17:04,526 --> 00:17:06,735
I'm totally wiped out.

285
00:17:06,818 --> 00:17:08,068
Uh-huh?

286
00:17:08,151 --> 00:17:09,235
Wiped out!

287
00:17:09,318 --> 00:17:13,318
That was Charlotte speak for "I'm
spending the night with my vibrator."

288
00:17:14,026 --> 00:17:15,901
But you guys have fun, though.

289
00:17:15,985 --> 00:17:17,985
There was only one thing to do.

290
00:17:18,068 --> 00:17:19,610
A rabbit intervention.

291
00:17:20,693 --> 00:17:22,026
Come on, let's go!

292
00:17:23,026 --> 00:17:25,443
- Okay, where is it?
- What are you talking about?

293
00:17:25,526 --> 00:17:27,985
The Rabbit, Charlotte.
Give us the Rabbit.

294
00:17:28,068 --> 00:17:32,068
Hey! Hey, hey, hey it's a vibrator.
It's not like it's crack.

295
00:17:33,193 --> 00:17:35,735
Oh, Charlotte!

296
00:17:35,818 --> 00:17:40,651
You hid the Rabbit behind
a stuffed rabbit? That is so you.

297
00:17:40,735 --> 00:17:42,360
You guys have a lot of nerve
coming in here.

298
00:17:42,443 --> 00:17:43,526
You're the one who made me get it.

299
00:17:43,610 --> 00:17:45,235
I thought you could handle it.

300
00:17:45,318 --> 00:17:46,318
It's no big deal.

301
00:17:46,401 --> 00:17:49,235
I'd just rather stay home with
the Rabbit than go out, deal with men.

302
00:17:52,276 --> 00:17:57,318
All right. You're right.
I'll go get dressed.

303
00:17:57,401 --> 00:17:59,026
With a little help
from her friends,

304
00:17:59,110 --> 00:18:02,985
Charlotte decided that she wasn't
going to settle for herself.

305
00:18:03,735 --> 00:18:07,151
While Samantha was doing everything
in her power to remake the Turtle

306
00:18:07,235 --> 00:18:09,651
into a man she could fall in love with.

307
00:18:10,526 --> 00:18:12,693
- How's your dinner?
- It's questionable.

308
00:18:13,235 --> 00:18:15,276
I can't figure out whether
the mushrooms in this sauce

309
00:18:15,360 --> 00:18:17,235
are shiitake or chanterelle.

310
00:18:18,026 --> 00:18:19,776
They're definitely not porcini.

311
00:18:21,818 --> 00:18:24,235
Maybe they're wood ear.

312
00:18:25,818 --> 00:18:27,860
Maybe it doesn't matter.

313
00:18:29,026 --> 00:18:31,693
My God! They're trumpets!

314
00:18:32,110 --> 00:18:36,360
It was then that Samantha
realized that even with all her effort,

315
00:18:36,443 --> 00:18:39,151
he was still just the Turtle in black.

316
00:18:39,651 --> 00:18:42,360
You know, I'm not feeling very well.

317
00:18:42,443 --> 00:18:44,943
I think I'm going
to have to send myself home.

318
00:18:47,860 --> 00:18:49,068
I'll call you.

319
00:18:56,776 --> 00:18:59,443
Excuse me. Do you like this shirt?

320
00:19:00,026 --> 00:19:02,735
My ex-girlfriend picked it out.

321
00:19:03,943 --> 00:19:06,818
After 12 phone calls
and three e-mails,

322
00:19:07,235 --> 00:19:10,318
Stanford badgered me into at least
meeting his grandmother.

323
00:19:10,901 --> 00:19:12,610
I love that suit you're wearing.

324
00:19:13,026 --> 00:19:15,401
Designed by Coco Chanel herself.

325
00:19:15,485 --> 00:19:16,568
Seriously?

326
00:19:16,651 --> 00:19:19,568
Grandmother's been wearing
that same suit for 40 years.

327
00:19:19,651 --> 00:19:20,860
And it still fits.

328
00:19:21,318 --> 00:19:23,568
- It never goes out of style.
- Never.

329
00:19:23,651 --> 00:19:27,068
I have it in blue, black, pink.

330
00:19:27,151 --> 00:19:28,401
And eggshell!

331
00:19:28,901 --> 00:19:29,901
Exactly.

332
00:19:30,568 --> 00:19:33,193
Stanford tells me you're a writer.

333
00:19:33,276 --> 00:19:35,360
Yes, I have a column in The Star.

334
00:19:35,443 --> 00:19:38,485
I was a career woman
many, many years ago.

335
00:19:38,818 --> 00:19:41,443
But I gave it up to have children.

336
00:19:43,526 --> 00:19:46,651
Oh, wow! Is this you?

337
00:19:47,026 --> 00:19:49,693
Not a bad-Iooking girl. Don't you think?

338
00:19:49,776 --> 00:19:50,678
No.

339
00:19:50,693 --> 00:19:54,360
Doesn't she look exactly like
Deborah Kerr in An Affair to Remember?

340
00:19:54,443 --> 00:19:55,735
She does.

341
00:19:57,401 --> 00:20:01,068
Oh, my God! This has to be Stanford.

342
00:20:01,151 --> 00:20:03,360
- You're the same person.
- Okay. That's enough.

343
00:20:03,443 --> 00:20:07,318
Oh, come on. This is fun.
I had no idea you had such a big family.

344
00:20:07,401 --> 00:20:10,026
And how about you, honey?
Do you want a family?

345
00:20:11,026 --> 00:20:13,193
As I looked around
at all the memorabilia

346
00:20:13,276 --> 00:20:14,985
and family photographs,

347
00:20:15,068 --> 00:20:18,901
the faces of brides and grooms,
children and grandchildren,

348
00:20:19,485 --> 00:20:20,818
I realized…

349
00:20:21,235 --> 00:20:22,901
Yes, I do.

350
00:20:23,485 --> 00:20:27,735
Uh, Stanny, be a dear. Go in the kitchen
and get me some matches.

351
00:20:27,818 --> 00:20:28,943
Of course.

352
00:20:34,318 --> 00:20:37,693
I love my Stanford.
He's a very sweet boy.

353
00:20:37,776 --> 00:20:40,068
But you know, he is a fruit.

354
00:20:41,443 --> 00:20:43,318
I realized then
that the only inheritance

355
00:20:43,401 --> 00:20:45,360
Stanford was going to get
from his grandmother

356
00:20:45,443 --> 00:20:47,526
was her collection of Chanel suits.

357
00:20:51,068 --> 00:20:53,110
Salt. Yeah.

358
00:20:53,651 --> 00:20:54,735
That night at dinner,

359
00:20:54,818 --> 00:20:57,651
I knew I would have to
break the news to Mr. Big.

360
00:21:05,735 --> 00:21:06,818
What do you think?

361
00:21:07,693 --> 00:21:09,735
Look, I do want to get married someday.

362
00:21:10,276 --> 00:21:12,443
I mean, maybe not today, but I just…
I don't wanna…

363
00:21:12,526 --> 00:21:15,193
I can't date somebody that won't.
You know, what's the point?

364
00:21:17,860 --> 00:21:19,235
Definitely too much salt.

365
00:21:22,943 --> 00:21:24,443
I mean, it's all in the timing.

366
00:21:25,610 --> 00:21:27,485
You gotta brown the garlic

367
00:21:27,568 --> 00:21:29,610
before you put in the onions,

368
00:21:29,693 --> 00:21:31,193
know what I mean?

369
00:21:32,985 --> 00:21:34,776
I thought we were having fun.

370
00:21:47,401 --> 00:21:50,568
It's better, but it definitely
has possibilities.

371
00:21:52,360 --> 00:21:56,151
You have a little bit
of sauce on the lip…

372
00:21:56,235 --> 00:21:57,776
right there.

373
00:21:58,110 --> 00:22:02,401
My Zen teacher also said
the only way to true happiness…

374
00:22:02,485 --> 00:22:05,735
is to live in the moment
and not worry about the future.

375
00:22:07,276 --> 00:22:09,651
Of course, he died penniless and single.
