1
00:00:47,531 --> 00:00:49,490
There are very few things
this New Yorker loves

2
00:00:49,573 --> 00:00:51,073
as much as Sunday brunch.

3
00:00:51,156 --> 00:00:54,656
You can sleep in till noon
and still get eggs anywhere in the city.

4
00:00:54,740 --> 00:00:56,990
Alcohol is often included with the meal.

5
00:00:57,448 --> 00:00:59,073
And Sunday is the one day a week

6
00:00:59,156 --> 00:01:01,448
you get the single woman's sports pages.

7
00:01:01,531 --> 00:01:03,656
The New York Times wedding section.

8
00:01:03,740 --> 00:01:05,406
This is so depressing.

9
00:01:05,490 --> 00:01:07,656
The oldest woman on this page is 27.

10
00:01:07,740 --> 00:01:09,198
I don't wanna hear that.

11
00:01:09,281 --> 00:01:11,906
Now I'm all depressed
and I haven't even had my coffee yet.

12
00:01:11,990 --> 00:01:13,406
Well, at least you have a boyfriend.

13
00:01:13,490 --> 00:01:16,115
That doesn't mean I'm getting married,
it means I'm getting laid.

14
00:01:16,198 --> 00:01:18,073
Yes, on a regular basis, no less.

15
00:01:18,156 --> 00:01:19,531
I'll drink to that.

16
00:01:19,906 --> 00:01:23,823
"Until recently, the bride, 24,
worked as an account supervisor

17
00:01:23,906 --> 00:01:25,531
at Ogilvy & Mather." Twenty-four!

18
00:01:25,615 --> 00:01:27,323
Okay, honey, no more reading aloud.

19
00:01:27,406 --> 00:01:29,906
I love how they say
"until recently, the bride."

20
00:01:29,990 --> 00:01:31,365
Yeah, meaning she quit her job

21
00:01:31,448 --> 00:01:34,823
as soon as she found
her soulmate/investment banker.

22
00:01:34,906 --> 00:01:38,656
It's so retro.
"Okay, I've got a big rock on my finger.

23
00:01:38,740 --> 00:01:41,240
Now I can stop pretending
to care about my career."

24
00:01:41,323 --> 00:01:44,365
"Until recently,
the bride had a life of her own."

25
00:01:44,990 --> 00:01:48,490
You know who those women marry?
The roman numeral guys.

26
00:01:48,573 --> 00:01:51,781
- Charles Duffy Anderson IV.
- Ding, ding, ding.

27
00:01:51,865 --> 00:01:54,698
I find the higher the number,
the worse the sex.

28
00:01:54,781 --> 00:01:57,406
I went out with Somebody III
who couldn't even get it up.

29
00:01:57,490 --> 00:01:59,531
Imagine how bad
Henry VIII must have been.

30
00:01:59,615 --> 00:02:02,906
Yeah, you give him head,
he cuts yours off.

31
00:02:04,073 --> 00:02:05,698
This couple met on a bike tour.

32
00:02:05,781 --> 00:02:09,073
I can barely make it through spinning,
and all the men in there are gay.

33
00:02:09,156 --> 00:02:10,865
It's amazing
how upset women can get

34
00:02:10,948 --> 00:02:12,906
over the marital status of strangers.

35
00:02:16,073 --> 00:02:17,156
- What was that?
- Nothing.

36
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,115
- Let me see.
- No, nothing to see.

37
00:02:21,198 --> 00:02:22,740
Oh, you're such a bad liar.

38
00:02:31,573 --> 00:02:34,031
And then,
there's the occasional familiar face.

39
00:02:34,823 --> 00:02:37,073
Well, it's official. He's married.

40
00:02:37,823 --> 00:02:39,031
Where are my home fries?

41
00:02:44,948 --> 00:02:47,573
It's… It's fine, all right?

42
00:02:47,656 --> 00:02:51,156
It's fine.
I was prepared for this, guys.

43
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,906
He… They had an engagement party
at the Plaza.

44
00:02:54,365 --> 00:02:57,990
- But sometimes engagements break off.
- This one didn't. Let's move on.

45
00:02:58,073 --> 00:02:59,058
I just don't understand

46
00:02:59,073 --> 00:03:00,531
why their wedding gets to be
like a short story.

47
00:03:00,615 --> 00:03:03,906
Why not just an announcement?
What's next, Big and Natasha, the movie?

48
00:03:03,990 --> 00:03:07,073
It's fluff. It's PR.
Anybody could be this story.

49
00:03:07,156 --> 00:03:08,823
Anybody who's getting married.

50
00:03:09,365 --> 00:03:12,156
See, this is what I hate
about The Sunday Times.

51
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,865
This and all the country houses
I can't afford.

52
00:03:20,156 --> 00:03:21,656
So, you want to rent a movie
or something?

53
00:03:21,740 --> 00:03:24,240
No, Charlotte, it's okay.
I'm not gonna slit my wrists.

54
00:03:24,323 --> 00:03:26,990
I know, I just thought
you might want some company.

55
00:03:27,073 --> 00:03:29,031
You know what?
I think I want to be alone.

56
00:03:29,656 --> 00:03:33,323
- All right, I'm just gonna take…
- Would you please stop?

57
00:03:33,906 --> 00:03:36,990
I know what you're gonna do.
I mean, you can't not read it.

58
00:03:37,073 --> 00:03:39,323
And you're gonna cry,
and it's gonna be awful.

59
00:03:39,406 --> 00:03:42,656
So, let's just read it now
and get it over with, okay?

60
00:03:43,740 --> 00:03:46,573
"The couple met in Paris,
on the lle St-Louis."

61
00:03:46,656 --> 00:03:49,281
Oh, how original,
they fell in love in Paris.

62
00:03:49,990 --> 00:03:51,448
"'I was sitting alone at a cafe

63
00:03:51,531 --> 00:03:54,365
when the waiter brought over
a bottle of their finest Pinot Noir

64
00:03:54,448 --> 00:03:56,823
from a very handsome man at the bar,'

65
00:03:56,906 --> 00:03:59,281
the bride said,
her brown eyes sparkling."

66
00:03:59,365 --> 00:04:00,365
Ugh!

67
00:04:00,698 --> 00:04:03,490
"'By the time we'd finished the wine,
I knew I wanted to marry him.'"

68
00:04:03,573 --> 00:04:06,156
Oh please,
you were drunk and he was rich.

69
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,198
This is just bad journalism.

70
00:04:08,906 --> 00:04:11,156
"Marry they did,
yesterday in Southampton

71
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,031
at the bride's parents' estate.

72
00:04:13,115 --> 00:04:14,698
There were only 50 guests.

73
00:04:14,781 --> 00:04:16,406
'We wanted to keep it intimate,'
she said.

74
00:04:16,490 --> 00:04:17,948
'Just family and close friends.'

75
00:04:18,031 --> 00:04:19,490
Yeah, and The New York Times.

76
00:04:19,573 --> 00:04:21,406
Really, how intimate is that?

77
00:04:21,490 --> 00:04:25,281
You know what, I don't hear Big
anywhere in this article.

78
00:04:25,365 --> 00:04:28,406
Natasha's calling the shots
and he's just along for the ride.

79
00:04:28,865 --> 00:04:32,031
"The bride carried calla lilies,
tied with a red ribbon."

80
00:04:32,115 --> 00:04:33,115
Well, that's nice.

81
00:04:33,865 --> 00:04:35,240
"As she walked down the aisle,

82
00:04:35,323 --> 00:04:38,406
a saxophone played
'When A Man Loves A Woman.'"

83
00:04:39,865 --> 00:04:41,990
Well, that's tacky.

84
00:04:42,698 --> 00:04:43,906
No, that's Big.

85
00:04:49,573 --> 00:04:50,573
Jesus.

86
00:04:56,740 --> 00:05:00,323
What I wouldn't give
for a working fireplace.

87
00:05:01,115 --> 00:05:03,865
- He wasn't the right man for you.
- I know that. I know.

88
00:05:03,948 --> 00:05:06,698
It's not him. It's the whole wedding.

89
00:05:07,448 --> 00:05:10,615
And it's her. It's her! Her!

90
00:05:12,198 --> 00:05:13,323
You know, she's just…

91
00:05:14,698 --> 00:05:18,365
You know, she's shiny hair,
style section…

92
00:05:19,740 --> 00:05:21,448
Vera Wang. And I'm…

93
00:05:22,281 --> 00:05:26,240
you know, the sex column they run
next to ads for penile implants.

94
00:05:41,740 --> 00:05:44,073
Big wasn't the only one
taking the plunge.

95
00:05:44,156 --> 00:05:46,990
After more than a decade
of domestic independence,

96
00:05:47,073 --> 00:05:49,906
Miranda had finally opened herself up
to a relationship…

97
00:05:50,656 --> 00:05:51,740
Good morning.

98
00:05:51,823 --> 00:05:53,115
…with a cleaning lady.

99
00:05:53,198 --> 00:05:54,823
Oh, good morning, Magda.

100
00:05:57,531 --> 00:05:59,323
Do you know where the coffee mugs are?

101
00:05:59,406 --> 00:06:01,240
Ah, I moved them here.

102
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,823
See, now all glasses are together.

103
00:06:04,906 --> 00:06:07,740
Oh, sure, I guess that makes more sense.

104
00:06:09,823 --> 00:06:12,740
Um, you know what?
I always drink my coffee

105
00:06:12,823 --> 00:06:15,490
out of my law school class of '90 mug,

106
00:06:15,573 --> 00:06:17,323
because it's bigger, and…

107
00:06:18,031 --> 00:06:20,073
It's just what I always use.

108
00:06:20,156 --> 00:06:24,406
I bring you nice herbal teas.
Tea is better for you.

109
00:06:24,990 --> 00:06:28,448
Oh, thank you very much,
but I prefer coffee.

110
00:06:28,531 --> 00:06:29,615
Thank you.

111
00:06:30,948 --> 00:06:32,490
Why do I have a rolling pin?

112
00:06:33,281 --> 00:06:35,198
It's for you to make pies.

113
00:06:35,615 --> 00:06:36,823
Uh-huh.

114
00:06:36,906 --> 00:06:39,073
It's good for women to make pies.

115
00:06:41,656 --> 00:06:43,240
Do you have a rolling pin?

116
00:06:43,615 --> 00:06:45,448
- On me?
- In your kitchen?

117
00:06:45,531 --> 00:06:47,740
Are you kidding me?
I use my oven for storage.

118
00:06:47,823 --> 00:06:50,823
Okay, my cleaning lady
brought me a rolling pin.

119
00:06:50,906 --> 00:06:52,990
It was like,
she couldn't believe I didn't have one.

120
00:06:53,073 --> 00:06:54,781
I can't believe
you have a cleaning lady.

121
00:06:54,865 --> 00:06:57,948
Oh, don't even start.
I feel guilty enough.

122
00:06:58,031 --> 00:07:01,573
I hate being home when she's home
because I feel like if I'm home,

123
00:07:01,656 --> 00:07:03,573
I should be cleaning, or making pies,

124
00:07:03,656 --> 00:07:06,073
because according to her,
that's what women do.

125
00:07:06,156 --> 00:07:08,740
Where did you find this person,
in a time capsule?

126
00:07:08,823 --> 00:07:11,406
I know. I don't need to make pies.

127
00:07:11,490 --> 00:07:13,531
I'm practically a partner
in a major law firm.

128
00:07:13,615 --> 00:07:15,656
If I want pie, I can buy it.

129
00:07:16,615 --> 00:07:19,281
You know,
I think I need this in a smaller size.

130
00:07:20,531 --> 00:07:22,115
Um, I'll get it for you.

131
00:07:22,198 --> 00:07:24,615
Just hand it out to me,
there's no need for you to come out.

132
00:07:24,698 --> 00:07:25,698
Carrie?

133
00:07:28,490 --> 00:07:32,948
And there she was, Mrs. Big,
all 5'10" of her.

134
00:07:33,031 --> 00:07:34,406
Hey.

135
00:07:35,073 --> 00:07:36,198
Hi, Natasha.

136
00:07:36,948 --> 00:07:40,615
Um, I heard… Well, I read, um…

137
00:07:41,823 --> 00:07:44,365
Congratulations on the thing,
on the wedding.

138
00:07:44,865 --> 00:07:46,948
Um, this is Miranda,
she's shopping with me.

139
00:07:47,031 --> 00:07:48,573
- Hi.
- Nice to meet you.

140
00:07:48,990 --> 00:07:52,073
That looks nice, what you have on there.

141
00:07:52,156 --> 00:07:53,156
You think?

142
00:07:53,698 --> 00:07:56,490
Yeah, I need something for this

143
00:07:56,573 --> 00:07:58,948
Women In The Arts luncheon
I helped organize.

144
00:07:59,031 --> 00:08:02,573
- I'm on the steering committee.
- Oh, really? I'm a member.

145
00:08:03,031 --> 00:08:07,406
'Cause, you know, I write,
so I am a woman in the arts.

146
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:09,948
I go to that lunch every year.

147
00:08:11,573 --> 00:08:12,573
In clothes.

148
00:08:13,865 --> 00:08:15,906
So, you're going then?

149
00:08:15,990 --> 00:08:17,365
Uh-huh. Yeah, yeah I'm going.

150
00:08:18,656 --> 00:08:21,031
- Great, I'll see you there.
- All right.

151
00:08:22,656 --> 00:08:23,656
Great.

152
00:08:27,031 --> 00:08:28,448
Oh, my God.

153
00:08:28,531 --> 00:08:30,948
And now,
I can't find the invitation.

154
00:08:31,031 --> 00:08:32,823
Well, why did you tell her you'd go?

155
00:08:32,906 --> 00:08:35,490
Because I have a deficit now.
I've talked to her twice,

156
00:08:35,573 --> 00:08:38,406
once I was in a cowboy hat,
and once I was in my bra.

157
00:08:38,490 --> 00:08:40,990
I'm like freakin'
Annie-Get-Your-Clothes-On.

158
00:08:41,073 --> 00:08:44,823
I would just… I would like her
to see me looking normal.

159
00:08:44,906 --> 00:08:46,073
Just normal?

160
00:08:46,156 --> 00:08:47,656
Okay, yes,
I would prefer to look amazing.

161
00:08:47,740 --> 00:08:51,823
But not like I'm trying amazing,
just effortlessly striking.

162
00:08:51,906 --> 00:08:54,906
I see. And will Big be at this event?

163
00:08:54,990 --> 00:08:57,031
No, it's a Women In The Arts luncheon.

164
00:08:57,115 --> 00:08:59,198
This isn't about Big,
it's about Natasha.

165
00:08:59,281 --> 00:09:01,781
Okay, but it seems like a lot of trouble
to go to for a woman.

166
00:09:01,865 --> 00:09:05,198
Can you help me find out
when and where this stupid thing is?

167
00:09:05,656 --> 00:09:07,823
I can do better than that.
I'm coming with you.

168
00:09:07,906 --> 00:09:10,323
Oh, so now you support
women in the arts?

169
00:09:10,406 --> 00:09:12,115
I support you, and, honey,

170
00:09:12,865 --> 00:09:14,948
these bitches
need to be put in their places.

171
00:09:17,156 --> 00:09:19,406
That night,
I modeled my entire wardrobe in my head

172
00:09:19,490 --> 00:09:21,365
and vetoed everything.

173
00:09:21,448 --> 00:09:23,615
Why did I care so much?

174
00:09:23,698 --> 00:09:27,490
What was it about Natasha that always
made me feel like the charity case?

175
00:09:28,406 --> 00:09:31,406
Was it just that she had Big,
or was this bigger than Big?

176
00:09:31,865 --> 00:09:33,823
I started to wonder.

177
00:09:33,906 --> 00:09:35,198
Are there women in New York

178
00:09:35,281 --> 00:09:37,740
who are just there
to make us feel bad about ourselves?

179
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:42,323
For Miranda, that woman
was a certain Ukrainian housekeeper.

180
00:09:42,406 --> 00:09:45,823
- You're early.
- Yes. Good morning.

181
00:09:45,906 --> 00:09:47,948
Um, did you bring me this?

182
00:09:49,573 --> 00:09:52,573
- It's gift, to make nicer your bathroom.
- Oh.

183
00:09:52,656 --> 00:09:57,406
Thanks. And did you move my hairdryer?
It used to be under the sink.

184
00:09:57,490 --> 00:09:58,823
- In the middle drawer.
- Ah.

185
00:09:58,906 --> 00:10:00,531
Last week I organize for you.

186
00:10:00,615 --> 00:10:02,490
No, that drawer doesn't need organizing.

187
00:10:03,698 --> 00:10:06,865
Magda had discovered
Miranda's goodie drawer.

188
00:10:08,448 --> 00:10:10,948
Look, I have a boyfriend,

189
00:10:11,031 --> 00:10:14,031
so it's not like I'm sleeping with
a bunch of different men.

190
00:10:14,115 --> 00:10:16,698
There's one guy,
and for a long time there was no guy,

191
00:10:16,781 --> 00:10:18,823
and that's why I have the other thing.

192
00:10:19,698 --> 00:10:22,198
- Okay?
- You like him, this boyfriend?

193
00:10:24,073 --> 00:10:25,073
Yes.

194
00:10:25,656 --> 00:10:26,948
You want to marry this man?

195
00:10:28,281 --> 00:10:29,448
I don't know.

196
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:34,656
Everybody wants to get married.
I am married 28 years.

197
00:10:35,156 --> 00:10:39,490
Well, we'll see.
I don't know if I want to get married.

198
00:10:42,948 --> 00:10:44,240
God bless you.

199
00:10:49,948 --> 00:10:52,698
I don't need you to bless me.

200
00:10:52,781 --> 00:10:54,698
I don't need God to bless me.

201
00:10:54,781 --> 00:10:57,198
I'm perfectly fine with my life
as it is.

202
00:11:01,531 --> 00:11:04,323
It's like I hired my mother.

203
00:11:04,990 --> 00:11:07,031
Luckily, Manhattan has spas,

204
00:11:07,115 --> 00:11:09,698
where a woman can pay
to feel good about herself.

205
00:11:10,073 --> 00:11:12,615
I just can't believe
she opened your goodie drawer.

206
00:11:12,698 --> 00:11:14,948
Everybody knows
the night-stand is private.

207
00:11:15,031 --> 00:11:16,240
What do you have in there?

208
00:11:16,323 --> 00:11:19,781
You know, the usual,
condoms, vibrator…

209
00:11:19,865 --> 00:11:22,281
- Massage oil, cigarettes.
- Nipple clamps.

210
00:11:22,365 --> 00:11:24,573
- Really?
- Not for me, for them.

211
00:11:25,031 --> 00:11:26,281
That's freakish.

212
00:11:26,823 --> 00:11:30,115
What's in your goodie drawer,
Robert's Rules Of Order?

213
00:11:30,198 --> 00:11:33,240
- I don't have a goodie drawer.
- Oh, everybody has a goodie drawer.

214
00:11:33,323 --> 00:11:34,781
I have a goodie closet.

215
00:11:34,865 --> 00:11:37,031
I don't need to know
what's in your goodie closet.

216
00:11:37,115 --> 00:11:39,948
Ditto. Nipple clamps
will suffice for today.

217
00:12:20,615 --> 00:12:22,448
I'm not in the mood for steam,
it's too hot.

218
00:12:23,531 --> 00:12:25,490
Then take off your towel, relax.

219
00:12:25,573 --> 00:12:28,156
I don't feel like being relaxed in here.

220
00:12:29,990 --> 00:12:32,490
There goes a woman
who desperately needs a goodie drawer.

221
00:12:39,115 --> 00:12:40,323
Charlotte, honey?

222
00:12:41,573 --> 00:12:43,990
- What's wrong?
- Nothing, I… I was just hot.

223
00:12:44,406 --> 00:12:46,740
Okay. And…

224
00:12:47,906 --> 00:12:48,906
And…

225
00:12:49,823 --> 00:12:53,323
I'm just not comfortable
being naked in public.

226
00:12:53,948 --> 00:12:58,240
Well, this isn't really public,
it's a ladies' locker-room.

227
00:12:58,323 --> 00:13:01,490
- I didn't grow up in a naked house.
- Well, I didn't either.

228
00:13:02,365 --> 00:13:05,240
I bet she grew up in a naked house.

229
00:13:09,948 --> 00:13:12,615
She might still live in a naked house.

230
00:13:14,281 --> 00:13:17,448
Oh, Charlotte, sweetie,
who cares how you look to other women.

231
00:13:17,531 --> 00:13:19,906
You don't care
'cause you have a perfect body.

232
00:13:19,990 --> 00:13:21,990
Oh, my God, you're deluded.

233
00:13:22,698 --> 00:13:26,781
Charlotte, sweetie,
you have a beautiful figure.

234
00:13:26,865 --> 00:13:28,740
- Really?
- Yes.

235
00:13:28,823 --> 00:13:31,115
Then why was that woman
in the steam room looking at me

236
00:13:31,198 --> 00:13:32,615
like my thighs were too big?

237
00:13:36,323 --> 00:13:38,573
Samantha always felt good
about herself.

238
00:13:38,656 --> 00:13:42,281
But after her 80-minute massage,
she felt even better.

239
00:13:44,323 --> 00:13:47,115
- Mmm.
- I just had the most intense massage.

240
00:13:48,573 --> 00:13:50,156
Kevin goes down on you.

241
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,656
Samantha's was good,
but not that good.

242
00:13:52,740 --> 00:13:53,740
Are you serious?

243
00:13:54,406 --> 00:13:56,198
Yes, he's incredible.

244
00:13:56,906 --> 00:13:58,031
You should try him.

245
00:13:58,115 --> 00:13:59,865
Samantha smiled politely,

246
00:13:59,948 --> 00:14:02,531
but a woman with a goodie closet
doesn't need to pay for head.

247
00:14:03,073 --> 00:14:04,073
Celia!

248
00:14:07,031 --> 00:14:09,573
- Forgot your key.
- Oh. Thanks, Kevin.

249
00:14:11,698 --> 00:14:14,698
Then again,
you can never have too many massages.

250
00:14:15,740 --> 00:14:17,906
Samantha immediately
got on the wait list

251
00:14:17,990 --> 00:14:20,240
for Kevin's next available appointment.

252
00:14:23,156 --> 00:14:25,906
That night,
Steve wasn't available either.

253
00:14:25,990 --> 00:14:28,823
So Miranda decided to do
the next best thing.

254
00:14:37,323 --> 00:14:41,365
Apparently, Magda was not only cleaning,
she was performing an exorcism.

255
00:14:43,865 --> 00:14:45,240
Later that week,

256
00:14:45,323 --> 00:14:48,281
I had a religious experience
at Manolo Blahnik.

257
00:14:51,448 --> 00:14:52,781
I need your honest opinion.

258
00:14:52,865 --> 00:14:54,073
You can't afford them?

259
00:14:54,156 --> 00:14:55,656
Can I get you something?

260
00:14:55,740 --> 00:15:01,906
Oh yeah, I'll have that incredibly
rich-looking, flourless chocolate thing.

261
00:15:01,990 --> 00:15:05,615
- And, um, a cafe au lait.
- I'll have a fruit cup.

262
00:15:06,406 --> 00:15:09,990
- Oh, now you're making me feel bad.
- No, no, you get what you want. Thanks.

263
00:15:13,740 --> 00:15:15,948
You know, this place has
the best desserts in New York.

264
00:15:16,031 --> 00:15:17,615
The whole point of coming here
is to splurge.

265
00:15:17,698 --> 00:15:20,656
I know, but that was a splurge.
Fruit has a lot of carbs.

266
00:15:21,198 --> 00:15:23,240
Okay, Is there a new Zone book out
or something?

267
00:15:23,323 --> 00:15:24,906
I hate my thighs.

268
00:15:25,865 --> 00:15:29,573
The problem is not your thighs, sweetie.
The problem is your head.

269
00:15:29,656 --> 00:15:30,656
Now…

270
00:15:31,906 --> 00:15:33,073
about the shoes.

271
00:15:33,948 --> 00:15:35,240
Hold on…

272
00:15:36,490 --> 00:15:38,781
I need these for the WITA luncheon.

273
00:15:39,156 --> 00:15:43,823
Now, the heels are almost high enough
to put me face to face with Natasha,

274
00:15:43,906 --> 00:15:45,490
if Natasha wears flats.

275
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:47,490
But why would she wear flats.

276
00:15:48,198 --> 00:15:49,906
Do you think
they make the right statement?

277
00:15:50,990 --> 00:15:52,698
What statement do you want them to make?

278
00:15:53,156 --> 00:15:55,073
"I am beautiful and powerful,

279
00:15:55,156 --> 00:15:57,573
and I don't care that you're only 25,
and married my ex."

280
00:15:58,115 --> 00:16:00,781
I thought you didn't have a complex
about how you look to other women.

281
00:16:00,865 --> 00:16:04,906
Oh, no, it's not a complex.
It's a Natasha-specific obsession,

282
00:16:04,990 --> 00:16:08,573
which will be over
as soon as she sees me at the benefit,

283
00:16:08,656 --> 00:16:12,490
looking fabulous in these shoes
and this dress I saw at Bergdorf's

284
00:16:12,573 --> 00:16:14,115
that's gonna cost me a month's rent.

285
00:16:14,198 --> 00:16:17,698
Oh, listen to you.
You don't have to prove anything.

286
00:16:18,198 --> 00:16:23,865
You are stunning and intelligent
and funny. And what is she?

287
00:16:23,948 --> 00:16:26,323
Married, that's all.

288
00:16:26,906 --> 00:16:29,906
You could go to that luncheon,
wearing what you're wearing right now

289
00:16:29,990 --> 00:16:32,448
and still be
the most incredible woman in the room.

290
00:16:33,573 --> 00:16:36,865
Wow! Why can't you do that for yourself?

291
00:16:38,198 --> 00:16:41,073
That afternoon,
Charlotte faced her fear.

292
00:17:45,031 --> 00:17:46,490
I'd kill for your breasts.

293
00:17:55,948 --> 00:17:59,365
Meanwhile, Samantha had spent
the last half hour face-down,

294
00:17:59,448 --> 00:18:01,490
picturing Kevin's face down on her.

295
00:18:03,073 --> 00:18:08,073
- Is this pressure okay?
- Oh, yes. That is just fine.

296
00:18:09,490 --> 00:18:10,781
Ready to turn over now?

297
00:18:11,906 --> 00:18:13,740
I most certainly am.

298
00:18:25,823 --> 00:18:26,906
Is this okay?

299
00:18:27,656 --> 00:18:28,656
Yes.

300
00:18:30,698 --> 00:18:32,156
Is this okay?

301
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,198
Mmm. Yes.

302
00:18:35,740 --> 00:18:36,948
Is this okay?

303
00:18:38,323 --> 00:18:40,073
Yes.

304
00:18:47,531 --> 00:18:48,906
Since they were running
out of time,

305
00:18:48,990 --> 00:18:51,698
Samantha decided
to take the matter in her own hands.

306
00:18:55,406 --> 00:18:57,073
Is this okay?

307
00:18:57,948 --> 00:18:59,948
Apparently, it wasn't.

308
00:19:00,031 --> 00:19:02,698
What kind of person does such a thing?

309
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:07,615
To molest a trained professional
while he is trying to do his job.

310
00:19:08,615 --> 00:19:13,448
Helena Rubinstein is a civilized place,
for civilized people.

311
00:19:14,198 --> 00:19:16,448
I'm sorry, but I cannot allow you
to come back here.

312
00:19:17,281 --> 00:19:19,323
I have to protect my staff.

313
00:19:20,031 --> 00:19:22,073
Clearly,
she meant Kevin's staff.

314
00:19:22,573 --> 00:19:24,448
Look, this isn't my fault.

315
00:19:24,531 --> 00:19:27,281
I know for a fact that Kevin
went down on another customer,

316
00:19:27,365 --> 00:19:29,823
and that's why I booked the appointment.

317
00:19:35,198 --> 00:19:36,573
The following Monday,

318
00:19:36,656 --> 00:19:39,448
Samantha and I
were the definition of civilized.

319
00:19:39,531 --> 00:19:42,115
We officially became
ladies who luncheon.

320
00:19:42,781 --> 00:19:44,156
I'm telling you, it was entrapment,

321
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,240
false advertising,
and blatant discrimination.

322
00:19:46,323 --> 00:19:49,198
You can't just randomly go down
on one person and not on another.

323
00:19:49,281 --> 00:19:51,823
I paid good money
expecting to be eaten out.

324
00:19:53,531 --> 00:19:57,323
This is not the conversation
I wish to have as my most amazing self.

325
00:19:57,406 --> 00:19:59,448
- Do you see her?
- No.

326
00:19:59,531 --> 00:20:02,365
Ooh, but I do see Wendy Wasserstein
and Gloria Steinem.

327
00:20:02,448 --> 00:20:04,448
Believe me,
you look absolutely stunning.

328
00:20:04,531 --> 00:20:06,823
You know what? I believe you.

329
00:20:07,490 --> 00:20:08,656
Oh.

330
00:20:08,740 --> 00:20:10,531
Hello, Mimi.

331
00:20:10,615 --> 00:20:13,531
Ms. Carrie Bradshaw,
and Ms. Samantha Jones.

332
00:20:15,448 --> 00:20:19,281
I'm a member,
I just haven't been to an event, ever.

333
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:21,490
It's Bradshaw.

334
00:20:22,656 --> 00:20:24,490
Ah. Here you are.

335
00:20:25,448 --> 00:20:27,323
Okay, please wear your name tags.

336
00:20:27,406 --> 00:20:30,615
Last year we had an unfortunate incident
with Joyce Carol Oates.

337
00:20:30,698 --> 00:20:31,698
Oh.

338
00:20:31,781 --> 00:20:33,656
I'm not really sure
the "Hello, my name is"

339
00:20:33,740 --> 00:20:35,031
goes with the ensemble.

340
00:20:35,115 --> 00:20:36,698
Hello, my name is Fabulous.

341
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,448
Oh, Natasha's not here yet.

342
00:20:40,531 --> 00:20:42,740
Oh, You know what? Natasha's not coming.

343
00:20:42,823 --> 00:20:43,725
What?

344
00:20:43,740 --> 00:20:47,323
She's got a terrible cold, poor thing,
and she didn't wanna get everybody sick.

345
00:20:47,406 --> 00:20:48,573
Here are your drink tickets.

346
00:20:52,781 --> 00:20:55,656
I can't believe that bitch is a no-show.

347
00:20:55,740 --> 00:20:59,031
I'm the one who's sick.
I charged another outfit I can't afford.

348
00:20:59,115 --> 00:21:02,073
Probably bounced a cheque to charity,
just to prove I'm amazing.

349
00:21:02,156 --> 00:21:05,448
And I've never felt less so.
Let's just go, all right?

350
00:21:05,531 --> 00:21:08,698
I paid $85, we're having our two drinks.

351
00:21:08,781 --> 00:21:10,031
What do you feel like?

352
00:21:10,115 --> 00:21:12,656
Um, loser on the rocks?

353
00:21:13,573 --> 00:21:14,740
Give me those tickets.

354
00:21:19,448 --> 00:21:21,740
Who is this
and what is she doing in my bedroom?

355
00:21:22,198 --> 00:21:24,115
It is Virgin Mary.

356
00:21:24,906 --> 00:21:27,740
- And where's my other thing?
- What thing?

357
00:21:28,490 --> 00:21:31,240
You know, the thing. The thing.
Don't make me say it.

358
00:21:31,323 --> 00:21:33,490
The thing you moved
and replaced with this lady.

359
00:21:33,573 --> 00:21:36,281
In bathroom, middle drawer.
Next to hairdryer.

360
00:21:38,115 --> 00:21:40,740
But no man will marry you
if that is by bed.

361
00:21:40,823 --> 00:21:42,198
It mean you don't need him.

362
00:21:43,573 --> 00:21:47,156
Magda, what I don't need
is another mother.

363
00:21:47,573 --> 00:21:50,115
I have one in Philadelphia,
and that's close enough.

364
00:21:50,656 --> 00:21:51,656
I need a housekeeper,

365
00:21:51,698 --> 00:21:54,240
who will clean my apartment
and stop judging me

366
00:21:54,323 --> 00:21:57,156
because I'm a 34-year-old single woman
living in New York.

367
00:21:57,698 --> 00:22:00,490
I drink coffee, and have sex,

368
00:22:00,573 --> 00:22:04,365
and buy pies,
and enjoy battery-operated devices.

369
00:22:04,448 --> 00:22:07,781
If you can't deal with that,
I will find another housekeeper who can.

370
00:22:13,865 --> 00:22:16,115
I also head up the committee
to match mentors

371
00:22:16,198 --> 00:22:17,823
with underprivileged children.

372
00:22:17,906 --> 00:22:18,906
It would be wonderful

373
00:22:18,948 --> 00:22:22,156
if you'd be willing to work
with some of our kids who want to write.

374
00:22:22,573 --> 00:22:24,406
I write about sex.

375
00:22:24,490 --> 00:22:26,615
Is that something they'd like to learn,
these kids?

376
00:22:26,698 --> 00:22:28,573
Writing about blow jobs and stuff?

377
00:22:29,698 --> 00:22:33,448
Or we can always use help
in fundraising.

378
00:22:33,531 --> 00:22:36,698
Carrie, this is Jenna.

379
00:22:36,781 --> 00:22:39,240
- Hi, Jenna.
- Nice to meet you.

380
00:22:39,323 --> 00:22:41,156
Jenna went to college with Natasha.

381
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,823
Go ahead, Jenna,
tell her what you told me.

382
00:22:44,448 --> 00:22:49,198
Okay, well, Natasha lived in my dorm,
freshmen year at Tulane.

383
00:22:49,281 --> 00:22:53,406
And once, she showered with a guy
in the community bathroom.

384
00:22:55,281 --> 00:22:56,281
And?

385
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:02,365
And she gained like ten pounds,
sophomore year.

386
00:23:02,906 --> 00:23:04,031
Wow.

387
00:23:04,115 --> 00:23:05,406
Ten pounds.

388
00:23:06,198 --> 00:23:07,240
Thanks, Jenna.

389
00:23:07,323 --> 00:23:08,323
Okay.

390
00:23:09,781 --> 00:23:11,031
Merry Christmas.

391
00:23:12,031 --> 00:23:13,615
That's supposed to make me feel better?

392
00:23:13,698 --> 00:23:16,156
Six years ago she was a cheerleader
with a weight problem?

393
00:23:16,615 --> 00:23:17,990
Well, it's something.

394
00:23:18,073 --> 00:23:19,865
You had to love her for trying.

395
00:23:19,948 --> 00:23:22,156
Samantha thought
a woman could make me feel good

396
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,156
by making Natasha sound bad,

397
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:25,906
but it only made me feel worse.

398
00:23:26,781 --> 00:23:27,781
Another drink?

399
00:23:28,031 --> 00:23:30,490
Another one
and I'll be a lady who loses her lunch.

400
00:23:30,906 --> 00:23:32,448
Well, trust me,
when you get home tonight,

401
00:23:32,531 --> 00:23:34,990
you're gonna smile about the fact
that she was a porker in college.

402
00:23:35,073 --> 00:23:36,990
Ten pounds does not a porker make.

403
00:23:41,031 --> 00:23:43,073
Uh, you're Samantha Jones.

404
00:23:43,490 --> 00:23:46,490
Yes. Oh.
We met at Helena Rubinstein. You're…

405
00:23:46,573 --> 00:23:51,240
Katy, Leisle, look who's here.
It's the woman who got Kevin fired.

406
00:23:52,823 --> 00:23:54,615
- Thanks a lot.
- Yeah, thanks.

407
00:23:54,698 --> 00:23:57,031
- Who's gonna fuck me now?
- Kevin fucked you?

408
00:23:58,448 --> 00:24:00,365
Turns out,
I wasn't the kind of member

409
00:24:00,448 --> 00:24:01,990
those women in the arts really needed.

410
00:24:03,906 --> 00:24:06,240
And, that night,
in her spotless apartment,

411
00:24:06,323 --> 00:24:09,115
Miranda knew she'd done the right thing
taking a stand

412
00:24:09,198 --> 00:24:10,573
because of her night-stand.

413
00:24:12,990 --> 00:24:16,656
Magda realized that while single women
in New York never make pies,

414
00:24:16,740 --> 00:24:18,656
they sometimes make guys.

415
00:24:19,573 --> 00:24:22,865
A couple of weeks later, I got something
in the mail from Women In The Arts.

416
00:24:22,948 --> 00:24:25,948
It was a "Thank you for attending"
signed by Natasha.

417
00:24:27,698 --> 00:24:32,323
Game over. I had to accept the fact that
in life, some women are simply better.

418
00:24:32,406 --> 00:24:34,823
And no amount of shoes or lack of pastry

419
00:24:34,906 --> 00:24:36,906
or making of pies will change that.

420
00:24:37,906 --> 00:24:39,656
I will never be the woman
with the perfect hair,

421
00:24:39,740 --> 00:24:41,948
who can wear white and not spill on it,

422
00:24:42,031 --> 00:24:44,823
and chair committees,
and write thank-you notes.

423
00:24:44,906 --> 00:24:46,323
And I can't feel bad about that.

424
00:24:47,198 --> 00:24:48,823
"Sorry I couldn't be their."

425
00:24:50,323 --> 00:24:53,656
T-H-E-I-R.

426
00:24:56,323 --> 00:24:58,531
But I could feel good about this.

427
00:25:02,823 --> 00:25:04,448
Hello?

428
00:25:04,531 --> 00:25:07,573
Miranda, it's a good thing
she got married.

429
00:25:08,156 --> 00:25:09,573
The woman's an idiot.
