00:01The island of Manhattan is a cozy village populated by more than 7 million fascinating individuals who all behave like
00:07they own the sidewalk.
00:09But lately, it seemed as if the entire city had been magically reduced to only two people.
00:15Us. Four-hour conversations flew by in the space of 15 minutes, and a few days apart felt like weeks.
00:21I realized that Einstein's law of relativity would have to be amended to include a special set of rules,
00:25those to explain the peculiar effects of infatuation.
00:31Hello?
00:32Hi. I'm trying to get hold of a Miss Carrie Bradshaw. She used to be a friend of mine.
00:36Yeah. Good morning.
00:38Wait. I think I recognize that voice.
00:40God, I can't believe it's been so long. I've been meaning to call you. I've just been...
00:44Fucking your brains out?
00:45Yeah, well, that's the least of it. You know what? I don't think that I have been hit this hard
00:49since...
00:50No, you know what? I'm not gonna compare it to anything else, because everything else has always ended.
00:54So will I actually get to see you sometime?
00:56Yeah, absolutely. How about tonight?
00:58Yeah, tonight'll work.
00:59Alright, so I'll call Charlotte and Samantha and see if they're free, because Big's got this dinner thing.
01:03So, you know, we didn't have any plans anyway, and I'll probably...
01:05God, would you listen to yourself?
01:06Yeah, I know. I've become one of those women we hate.
01:10Yes, you have. I can't talk now. I'll call you later. Okay?
01:13Alrighty. Bye.
01:13As I hung up, I realized I'd committed the cardinal sin. I'd forsaken my girlfriends for my new boyfriend.
01:20That night, I faced the tribunal.
01:23We really weren't that concerned.
01:25Just completely hurt and offended.
01:27Actually, you missed a lot.
01:30I know. I am trying to...
01:31Miranda had worked on a big successful merger.
01:35Samantha was obsessed with the idea of a new apartment.
01:38And Charlotte.
01:40Charlotte was practically engaged.
01:42They met the day after I dropped off the edge of the earth.
01:45His name was Michael Conway.
01:47He was from a good New York family, and he absolutely adored Charlotte.
01:51I think this might be it. I think this might be the one.
01:54We've met him. He's perfect.
01:56Even his fucking dog is perfect.
01:59But...
02:00There is one thing.
02:02Last night, after Michael took Charlotte to the Philharmonic,
02:05they went back to his place, and began the classic dating ritual.
02:09The blowjob tug of war.
02:21Oh, come on.
02:22Not tonight.
02:26Um...
02:26Sometime.
02:28The truth is, I hate doing it.
02:31Honey, you can't be serious.
02:33Are you telling us you never perform this act?
02:35She'll juggle, she'll spin plates, or she won't give head.
02:37I don't like putting it in my mouth.
02:39I have a very sensitive gag reflex, and it makes me want to puke.
02:43That's one way to say no.
02:44It's not like I haven't tried.
02:45Practiced on a banana.
02:47I pretended it was a popsicle, but...
02:49I just don't like it.
02:51Personally, I'm loving it, up to the point where the guy wants me to swallow.
02:54Well, that's just, that's really a judgment call.
02:55Some men just take it so personally if you don't.
02:58Some guys don't give you a choice.
02:59Well, that's just bad behavior.
03:00Are you honestly telling me you like it?
03:02Well, it's not my favorite thing on the menu, but you know,
03:04I'll order it from time to time, and...
03:06with the right guy...
03:08can be nice.
03:09Oral sex is like God's gift to women.
03:12You can get off without worrying about getting pregnant.
03:14Plus, the sense of power is such a turn-on.
03:16Maybe you're on your knees, but you got them by the balls.
03:19Now, you see, that is the reason that I don't want to go down this road.
03:23Well, sweetheart, if you're gonna get all choked up about it,
03:26just don't do it, don't do it.
03:28But if you don't go down on him, how can you expect him to go down on you?
03:31I don't.
03:31Oh, but forget it.
03:33I only give head to get head.
03:35Me too.
03:40A few hours and a couple of bottles of Pinot Grigio later,
03:43vows of friendship renewed.
03:44You were almost out the door when...
03:46Hey!
03:48Isn't that Mr. Big?
03:50Yeah.
03:51Oh, I'm gonna go over and say hi.
03:53Ditching us now would be really bad for him.
03:55I'm not gonna ditch you.
04:01Surprise.
04:03Hey, Carrie.
04:04How are you?
04:05Good.
04:06Good.
04:06I was just here with my bossy having dinner and I saw you.
04:12Oh, Carrie, this is Julia Woods.
04:15Julia.
04:15Carrie Bradshaw.
04:17Nice to meet you.
04:19Can I talk to you for a second?
04:21Sure.
04:22Excuse me.
04:26Are you on a date?
04:29Sort of.
04:30I thought you said you had a business thing tonight.
04:33I said a dinner thing.
04:35Well...
04:36No, because frankly she stunned me.
04:38Well, um, enjoy your dinner.
04:41Are you okay?
04:43Oh, sure, sure.
04:44I was just, uh...
04:45You know, I just didn't realize you were dating other women.
04:47Well, not a lot of other women.
04:50Why don't we talk about this Saturday?
04:51Sure, sure, sure.
04:53So, um, then...
04:55Enjoy your dinner.
04:56Oh, already said that.
04:56Well, do it twice.
04:57Alright, here we go.
05:03I can't believe it.
05:04He's seen other women.
05:05Prick.
05:08True, we had never discussed exclusivity.
05:11But while for me the idea of seeing another man would be like trying to fit another outfit into an
05:15already overstuffed suitcase,
05:16being sexually dating another woman like it was the most natural thing in the world.
05:21Is it that men have an innate aversion to monogamy?
05:24Or is it more than that?
05:26I wondered.
05:27In a city like New York, with its infinite possibilities, has monogamy become too much to expect?
05:34I've been involved in a monogamous relationship for over a year now.
05:37It's...
05:37It's been wonderfully fulfilling.
05:39Of course, my definition of monogamy includes sex with prostitutes.
05:42The problem with monogamy?
05:44It's just so incredibly dull.
05:55Monogamy is fabulous.
05:57It gives you a deep and profound connection to another human being and you don't have to shave your legs
06:00as much.
06:02Of course I'm monogamous.
06:05Why, what have you heard?
06:06This is the sea line.
06:08This is the best in the building.
06:09Have you ever seen any place like this?
06:11Is this to die?
06:12It's nice.
06:13Hold this.
06:15Just a second.
06:19Excuse me.
06:20Excuse me.
06:21Was someone looking for a view?
06:23Oh, Pamela, it's beautiful, but it's a little out of my price.
06:25I know, I know.
06:26So sue me.
06:27I just love to show the creme de la creme.
06:29I will break my ass for you, sweetheart.
06:31I just want to ask you for one small favor in return.
06:33My firstborn?
06:37No, sweetheart.
06:38I don't even want my own kids.
06:40Promise me that you won't work with any other broker.
06:42Of course.
06:44Samantha didn't believe in monogamy, especially when it came to real estate agents.
06:48This is a pre-war six.
06:50Notice the classic lines.
06:52Very solidly built.
06:54Although Pamela had the hottest contacts in town, Rick did have a slight competitive edge.
06:59He gave Samantha the opportunity to combine her two greatest loves, sex and real estate.
07:04That afternoon, I dragged my poor tortured soul out to lunch with Stanford Blatch and attempted to stun it senseless
07:11with cosmopolitan.
07:12Here you go.
07:12Monogamy is on the way out again.
07:15It had a brief comeback in the 90s, but as the millennium approaches, everyone's leaving their options open.
07:20Come on, you wouldn't commit to a nice guy given the option.
07:22I can't even commit to a long-distance carrier.
07:25You know what you are?
07:26You're a whore.
07:27I wish that were true.
07:29Hey, Stanford.
07:31Hey, Jared.
07:32How are you?
07:33My book just got a kick-ass review in Entertainment Weekly.
07:35How marvelous.
07:36Oh, Jared.
07:37Have you met Carrie Bradshaw?
07:39No.
07:39I've read your column.
07:41Nice shit.
07:42Thanks.
07:43You should write about me sometime.
07:44My life is so fucked up right now.
07:46Oh, Carrie.
07:47Jared is the writer of the book Avenue B.
07:49And New York Magazine just named him one of the 30 coolest people under 30 in the city.
07:55Doing the 30 sexiest women under 30, I'm sure you'd go right to the top of the list.
07:59You're quite the storyteller, aren't you?
08:02That's not one.
08:03Listen, the magazine's throwing us a party tomorrow night at Luna.
08:06I'll be sure and put your names at the door.
08:07Oh, thanks.
08:08So you'll be there?
08:09I'll do my best.
08:11Group.
08:12Ciao.
08:18What was happening to me?
08:19I used to get a secret rush from men who hit on me during their 15 minutes of fame.
08:23In this case, it merely felt exhausting.
08:34Hello.
08:35Well, hello.
08:36Oh, hi.
08:37I'm just calling to confirm tomorrow night.
08:39Are we still on?
08:40Yeah, of course we are.
08:41Why wouldn't we be?
08:42I was striving for noncommittal, but I was worried I had just ordered on Shrill.
08:46I'll pick you up at eight.
08:48Um, yeah.
08:49It's fine.
08:51I miss you, baby.
08:53Yeah, me too.
08:55There were so many questions I wanted him to answer but would not ask.
08:58Not tonight, at least.
08:59No.
09:00Tonight, I would ask Miranda.
09:02He said, I miss you, baby.
09:04Do you think that was meant to be some kind of coded mea culpa?
09:07You mean like what he really meant was, I've been a complete idiot.
09:10Please forgive me for having dinner with that other woman.
09:12Yeah, exactly.
09:13Could be.
09:14Well, no.
09:14Because that would mean that everything that he ever said that I interpreted as sincere
09:17is subject to interpretation.
09:18In that case, what I perceive as his feelings for me may only really be reflected projections
09:23of my feelings for him.
09:24What?
09:26Oh, God.
09:26I'm freaking.
09:27I've got to stop.
09:28Let's not.
09:29Hey, Carrie.
09:31Oh.
09:31Hi.
09:32Hey, you guys.
09:33Great to see you.
09:34What are you up to?
09:35Um, just hanging.
09:37Oh, hey, Allison.
09:38This is Miranda and Carrie.
09:40I'm Miranda and Carrie.
09:40This is Allison.
09:41Hello.
09:41Hi.
09:42Nice to meet you.
09:42I've heard so much about you.
09:43Oh, me too.
09:44You know, we're all such great big fans of your column over at Vogue.
09:47You work at Vogue?
09:48Yeah, designer relations.
09:50Skipper and I just had the most incredible meal.
09:53Oh, it's this little hole in the wall.
09:54This darling French bistro that I am telling you I lived a year in Paris and never ate so well.
09:59And cheap.
10:00Really?
10:00Go quick before the times destroys it with a rave.
10:03Okay.
10:03Anyways, great to see you guys.
10:05Yeah, great meeting you.
10:06You too.
10:07Good night.
10:07Bye.
10:10Who was that self-important bitch?
10:12I think that was Skipper's new girlfriend.
10:14Well, she's single, right?
10:16I didn't think that was his type.
10:18Well, that's true, Miranda.
10:19You're his type.
10:20But you broke up with him, remember?
10:22Something looks different.
10:24Has he been working out?
10:41Hey, Skipper here.
10:42Leave me a message.
10:44Hi, Skipper.
10:45It's Miranda.
10:47I just wanted to say it was great running into you today.
10:51Hello.
10:51You looked great.
10:52Did you do something different to your hair?
10:55Hello?
10:56Miranda.
10:57Hey.
10:58I can't talk right now.
11:00That's okay.
11:01I just wanted to say maybe, you know, I thought we could have dinner some night.
11:06Seriously?
11:07Yeah.
11:08I miss you.
11:10I'll call you later.
11:13Is everything okay?
11:15Uh, Allison, um, I think you're great.
11:18And, uh, but I've got to be totally honest with you.
11:21The woman who I think I love just called and asked me back.
11:27You're breaking up with me while you're still inside of me?
11:31As Skipper rededicated his singular affection for Miranda, Charlotte was receiving her own
11:36declaration of monogamy.
11:37What do you think about not seeing anyone else but each other?
11:42Really?
11:42Yeah.
11:44That might be a good idea.
11:46I think it's the best idea I've ever had in my life.
11:48Well, in that case, absolutely.
11:56And Samantha flaunted her infidelity.
11:59I found myself caught somewhere in between.
12:02So, uh, whose very crowded apartment are we in?
12:05Max.
12:05He's an old friend of mine.
12:06And remember, Becky is his second wife.
12:08She's a doll.
12:08You'll love her.
12:09Hey there, stranger.
12:11Melissa.
12:12This is Carrie Bradshaw.
12:14Hi.
12:15Love your column.
12:16Never miss it.
12:16Oh, wow, thanks.
12:17I've been trying to call you.
12:18Ah, yeah, you know...
12:19You still have my passport.
12:23She's a friend I once traveled with.
12:25Internationally, I would imagine.
12:28Let's find Max.
12:29Mm-hmm.
12:34Hey, Max.
12:35Excuse me.
12:36Excuse me.
12:37Excuse me.
12:38Glad you could make it.
12:40Boy, Max, I want you to meet someone very special.
12:44Julia.
12:46Actually, it's Carrie.
12:48Carrie?
12:48Well, welcome.
12:50Carrie writes this fantastic column from the New York Star.
12:53It's called Sex and the City.
12:55Well, uh, if you're looking for material, you're dating the right man.
12:58Ah, thank you, Max.
13:00Thank you very much.
13:01Are we dating?
13:02I thought we were just sleeping together.
13:05Oh, well, I'm sure after tonight we won't be doing much of either.
13:08Excuse me.
13:09I'll be right back.
13:12Carrie.
13:13Carrie.
13:14You've got to be kidding.
13:16How many women are you dating?
13:18In the tri-state area?
13:19Well, let's see.
13:20There's me.
13:21Um, Julia.
13:22Oh, and let's not forget International Melissa.
13:24Carrie, I'm not doing this here.
13:26Fine.
13:28Can we just enjoy the party?
13:29I don't know.
13:33Come on, honey.
13:34What do you want from me?
13:35What do I want from you?
13:40Nothing.
13:42I don't want anything from you.
13:44I have to go.
13:45I'm sorry.
13:46I felt like a fool.
13:47I had gone so far out on a limb with my feelings,
13:49that I didn't realize I was standing out there alone.
13:54When life gets this confusing, sometimes there's only one thing to do.
13:57Attend a fabulous party.
14:05Ann fuzzy.
14:06There's nothing, Nice.
14:06Samford.
14:07Harry.
14:08What a surprise.
14:10Wear some.
14:11Oh don't ask.
14:12What happened?
14:13He became predictable.
14:15How predictable.
14:16Hey.
14:26...began to seem like a quaint notion.
14:30God, that was like so great.
14:34Don't you just want to lie like this forever?
14:36Well, for a few minutes, anyway.
14:39I missed you.
14:41Now, I want you to know that that other woman doesn't mean a thing to me.
14:44Oh, that's all right.
14:45I don't mind if you keep seeing her.
14:47Oh, God, no.
14:48I broke up with her the second that you called.
14:51Skipper, you didn't have to do that.
14:54Of course I did.
14:55I was so happy to hear from you that we were still doing it while I was talking to you,
14:58and I didn't even realize it.
15:01You're kidding, right?
15:03No.
15:04Isn't that crazy?
15:05Yeah, that's exactly what it is.
15:07Crazy.
15:08Listen, Skipper, I'm not ready for a full-blown relationship thing.
15:13What?
15:15I mean, we can see each other and still see other people, right?
15:19No.
15:20No, we can't.
15:21At least I can't.
15:24Why did you call me back anyway?
15:27I'm sorry.
15:28I thought...
15:29I'm not your private stud horse, you know, Miss Dial-A-F-Buck.
15:34Come here.
15:34You know...
15:35Come back.
15:36I'm tired of being jerked around.
15:38I hope you find what you're looking for.
15:42While Miranda misjudged the intensity of Skipper's feelings, Michael left Charlotte no doubt about his.
15:48You're amazing.
15:49You've got everything I'm looking for, and I've never found before in one woman.
15:56Brains taste class.
16:01And you're very, very sexy.
16:20What's the problem?
16:22I hate doing it.
16:25You hate getting blowjobs?
16:28It's not that big of a deal, is it?
16:31Well, sort of.
16:34Can't you just do it for me?
16:36Would you really want me to do something that I didn't want to do?
16:39You'll get used to it.
16:41No.
16:43I won't.
16:44I never have.
16:46Sorry.
16:47Well, I plan on getting a lot of blowjobs in the future.
16:51And I'm hoping that you're around when I get them.
16:53What's that supposed to mean?
16:55It means I'll have to find them somewhere else.
16:59You're telling me that you would give up a woman who really cares for you,
17:04who would share your hopes and your fears and your dreams,
17:06the future possible mother of your children.
17:09All for a blowjob?
17:13You're right.
17:15Will you at least lick my balls?
17:18Goodbye, Michael.
17:22Michael was upset, but Butterscotch seemed pleased.
17:25She was finally back in her monogamous relationship.
17:29Half past midnight.
17:31In a city that never sleeps, neither did the real estate market.
17:34It's beautiful.
17:36Isn't it?
17:37It went on the market at midnight.
17:39And you're the first one to see it.
17:42Two bedrooms, pre-war, fireplace and views.
17:46Everything you wanted.
17:48I love it.
17:49I really love it.
17:51I knew you would.
17:52Let's celebrate.
18:16Oh, my God.
18:20I can't believe that you are working with another broker.
18:23I can't believe you weren't going to show me this apartment.
18:362 a.m., and I already had a new man in my life.
18:39You know the greatest thing about writing a successful book?
18:41Besides the validation, the acclaim is knowing that I'm pumping my ideas into the world.
18:46I thought it was the fact that you could behave like an utter asshole and people would find you amusing.
18:50I'm like in love with you.
18:52You know that?
18:53I'm like fucking in love with you.
18:57Will you go home with me tonight?
19:00Give me a minute.
19:01I just have to make a call.
19:09Hello?
19:10I just want to let you know that I'm at this very cool party for very cool people under 30,
19:13and this very cool novelist wants to take me home.
19:16What?
19:17What the hell happened to you?
19:18His name is Jared.
19:19He's really cute and really successful.
19:23Yeah, just a second.
19:24And he just put his arms around me.
19:26Here, say hello, Jared.
19:28Hello, Jared.
19:30That was Jared.
19:31Carrie, just get over here.
19:33No, you get over here.
19:34I can't.
19:35I don't know where you are.
19:36I'm at the Luna Park Cafe.
19:38Just meet me out front.
19:39Your name's not on the list.
19:4345 minutes later, I realized I was alone in a park at 3 a.m.
19:47and that it was time to call it a night.
19:50What are you doing back here?
19:52You said to meet out front.
19:54This is the front.
19:56This isn't the front.
19:57This is the back.
19:59I've been waiting out front for 30 goddamn minutes.
20:02You see those doors?
20:03That's the front.
20:04You were waiting at the street entrance.
20:06The street entrance is the front entrance.
20:08Depending on where you're coming from.
20:13Okay.
20:14I'm here.
20:15Now, what's going on?
20:20I've done the merry-go-round.
20:21I've been through the revolving door.
20:23I feel like I met somebody I can stand still with for a minute.
20:26And...
20:29Don't you want to stand still with me?
20:33You dragged me out to a park at 3 in the morning to ask me if I want to stand
20:36still with you?
20:38Yes.
20:51In a city of infinite options, sometimes there's no better feeling than knowing you only have one.
21:00That's the time you're welcome to the right.
21:00OK.
21:00I don't know.
21:00Have a wait.
21:00Bye then.
21:01Bye Bye day.
21:01Bye.
21:02Bye bye.
21:02Bye bye.
