00:03In life, sometimes we find ourselves at a crossroads.
00:07In New York, that crossroads tends to be busy and very loud.
00:15Sorry, you're waiting.
00:17I know, I'm ten minutes late.
00:20Well, I'm three weeks late.
00:22What?
00:23I'm pregnant.
00:24Fair change.
00:25Uh, I'm sorry.
00:27I got it, I got it, I got it.
00:29You are beautiful ladies.
00:31You'll make some man very happy.
00:35You're pregnant? Really?
00:37No, I just thought it might be a fun thing to say.
00:40Buck, you're sure?
00:42I took three EPT tests and I'm coming from my doctor,
00:45which is why I called you to meet me way down here on the corner of 23rd and I'm in
00:48hell.
00:49When have you been having sex?
00:51I did not mean that the way it sounds.
00:53Steve.
00:55You were sleeping with Steve?
00:57Slept, once, singular.
00:59It was a mercy fuck.
01:00I felt bad.
01:01He only had one ball.
01:02Well, I guess that's all I needed.
01:03Yeah, no kidding.
01:04Apparently the other one was purely ornamental.
01:06God, I'm such a fucking idiot.
01:08Why didn't I use a condom?
01:09He really didn't use a condom.
01:10He only has one ball and I have a lazy ovary.
01:13In what twisted world does that create a baby?
01:15Yeah, it's your point.
01:16It's like the Special Olympics of inception.
01:18Have you told him?
01:20Why would I tell him?
01:21I'm not having it.
01:22Right.
01:24Is it okay not to tell him?
01:26I don't know.
01:27Is it?
01:29While Miranda took a pregnant pause,
01:33Charlotte got an unpleasant surprise of her own.
01:38Her period.
01:42Hey, look.
01:43Charlotte brought party favors.
01:44I'm never getting pregnant.
01:45Would you please move the tan bags away from my toast points?
01:48When I think of all those women,
01:49every day getting pregnant, getting pregnant, getting pregnant.
01:51I've been trying for five months.
01:53Nothing.
01:53Charlotte, honey, don't worry, you'll get pregnant.
01:55When?
01:56A woman of 35 has only a 30% chance of conceiving
01:59and then the numbers just go down from there.
02:01Numbers can be wrong.
02:01If it's so hard to get pregnant,
02:03how do you account for the number of crying children on planes?
02:05This is not a laughing matter.
02:07Oh, I'm sorry.
02:08I thought this was brunch, not a fertility seminar.
02:11Okay, let's all judge.
02:13Charlotte, should we get you a menu?
02:15It's me.
02:17I probably can't have a baby.
02:19Don't say that.
02:20It's true.
02:21Trey checked out fine.
02:22It's me.
02:22I know it's me.
02:23It's not you.
02:24Then what is it?
02:25I keep hearing all these stories about people getting pregnant
02:28just looking at each other.
02:29And I do it on my head, on my side, on my back,
02:33on the top, on the bottom, on the top, then the bottom.
02:36Now this is brunch stuff.
02:38Do you know how many times Trey and I have done it without a condom?
02:4173.
02:42Have you any idea how much perfectly fine semen that is?
02:46No.
02:47Samantha, rough estimate?
02:48Enough for me to know in my bones that it's me.
02:51And the big joke is,
02:52I spent my entire 20s worried that I'd get pregnant.
02:54I could have been screwing everything in sight.
02:56Coulda, woulda, shoulda.
02:57I should have been so lucky to get pregnant by mistake.
03:01Okay.
03:03What's with the eyes, Miranda?
03:05Nothing.
03:06You're just sitting there, you haven't said a word,
03:08and you're making the eyes.
03:10It's nothing.
03:10You think I'm pathetic or something.
03:12It's not about you.
03:13What's not about me?
03:14I cannot think of a worse time to tell you this.
03:17Oh, man.
03:18What the F is going on?
03:21I'm pregnant.
03:25Steve.
03:26Mercy, fuck.
03:28He only has one bowl.
03:29It isn't fair.
03:30Sure.
03:31Honey, take your breath here, honey.
03:32Have a sip of water.
03:33How could you do this to me?
03:34To you?
03:35Okay, stop.
03:36Please.
03:36Stop.
03:37What are you gonna do?
03:42You're not even going to consider having it?
03:45This is not in my plans right now,
03:48and I really feel awful talking about this in front of you.
03:52Then I'll leave.
03:53No.
03:54You can just sit here and have your abortion talk.
03:56Come on, Charlotte.
03:56Please sit down.
04:00Oh, she didn't mean it.
04:02All she can think about right now is babies.
04:04She makes me sound so...
04:06Don't do that.
04:08Okay, it's less than a desirable situation, but it happens.
04:11We've all been there.
04:12I haven't.
04:14I've had two.
04:15Carrie, how many have you had?
04:16Uh, one.
04:17Oh, right.
04:18That waiter at TGI Fridays.
04:20TGI Fridays?
04:21Please, can we not make this worse than it was?
04:23He was a waiter at the saloon.
04:25Okay?
04:26And let me remind you.
04:27In 1988, the saloon was very happening.
04:31Apparently.
04:35You ready yet?
04:36We're approaching the 20-minute mark.
04:37Let's go!
04:38Okay.
04:44Hey.
04:46What?
04:47Nothing.
04:57What?
05:01Are you cuckoo now?
05:03Are you going cuckoo on me?
05:08Okay, I want to tell you something.
05:10But if I tell you,
05:12you have to swear you're not going to tell anyone.
05:15I promise.
05:16Here.
05:18Swear on Chanel.
05:20I swear.
05:23Okay, Miranda's pregnant and she's having an abortion.
05:26Oh, man.
05:26And Charlotte's devastated, you know,
05:28because she's been trying to get pregnant,
05:30she's been having a really hard time,
05:31and it's just bad all around.
05:33All right, come here, come here, come here, come here.
05:36Well, if Miranda doesn't want the kid,
05:38can't she just give it to Charlotte?
05:40No.
05:41It's not like a sweater.
05:44Oh, man.
05:46Who's the guy?
05:49See, this is the reason that you can't tell anyone.
05:54It's Steve.
05:55And he doesn't know.
05:56Oh, come on!
05:59What?
06:00I feel like you just trapped me.
06:02Well, I'm sorry.
06:03I had to tell you.
06:05It's all I could think about.
06:06Look, I can't even pick a shoe.
06:09She's going to do it without telling her.
06:17What?
06:18What?
06:19It's his baby, too.
06:21Well, technically it's not going to be anybody's baby.
06:23Well, so what?
06:25It's all her decision?
06:27It seems like the guy gets the shit into the stick.
06:32Well...
06:32I don't know.
06:33You know, it's...
06:34It's a tough situation.
06:36I don't know.
06:37You ever had one?
06:40No.
06:42Oh, God, no.
06:44Thank God.
06:46Look at that one.
06:47Isn't it adorable?
06:48Which one?
06:49The red one in the middle.
06:50I love it.
06:51The Birkin bag?
06:52Really?
06:53That's not even your style.
06:55Oh, honey, it's not so much the style.
06:56It's what carrying it means.
06:57It means you're on 4,000 bucks.
06:59Exactly.
06:59When I'm tooling around town with that bag, I'll know I've made it.
07:03Okay, let's go.
07:04The visiting hours are over.
07:05Bye-bye, Birkin.
07:09I'm going with Miranda when she goes.
07:11Oh, good.
07:12I was alone and it was awful.
07:14Why didn't you ask somebody to go with you?
07:16It's not the kind of thing you list on the dorm activities board.
07:19I lied to Aiden about having one.
07:21I don't know.
07:21It just kind of came out.
07:23And the thing is, I think he seemed relieved.
07:26Believed that he could still think of me in a certain way.
07:29I don't know why I lied to him.
07:30Maybe you still want him to think of you in a certain way.
07:34It happened.
07:35You made the right decision at the time.
07:37Yeah, I know, but you know I never told a guy or anything.
07:40Look, you can't go down that road.
07:42Did you really want to have a child with a guy who serves burgers on roller skates?
07:46I could have a 13-year-old child.
07:48Yes, you could.
07:49But then I wouldn't have known you.
07:51Can you imagine it?
07:53No.
07:53I can't.
07:55I should have told Aiden.
07:57I coulda, woulda, shoulda.
08:00So many roads, so many detours.
08:03So many choices, so many mistakes.
08:07As we drive along this road called life, occasionally a gal will find herself a little lost.
08:12And when that happens, I guess she has to let go of the coulda, shoulda, woulda, buckle up and just
08:16keep going.
08:18As we speed along this endless road to the destination called who we hope to be, I can't help but
08:24whine.
08:25Are we there yet?
08:29For a publicist like Samantha, the road to success was paved with stars.
08:34Case in point, lunch with Lucy Liu.
08:36I had no idea you were from New York.
08:38I'm a total New York City girl from Queens.
08:41That's amazing.
08:42I just don't get Queens from you.
08:44Look, bitch, don't start with me, right?
08:47Oh, that's good.
08:49Okay.
08:50Here's what I need.
08:51I'm looking for someone from New York.
08:53My last PR guy was really hooked up, but he was a total liar.
08:56I mean, I'm a big girl.
08:58Just tell me the truth.
08:58I can take it, you know?
09:00You want the truth?
09:02Mm-hmm.
09:03Your last Golden Globe dress was a disaster.
09:08That's what I thought, but all these Queens kept telling me it was fierce.
09:11Well, a girl from Queens should know better than to listen to Queens.
09:13Right?
09:14Right.
09:16Oh, and nothing.
09:17I was a waitress, and 25%.
09:21Very nice.
09:22When I'm representing you, it's class all the way.
09:30It's 4,000.
09:32I know.
09:33And there's a waiting list.
09:34I assumed.
09:35Five years.
09:37For a bag?
09:38It's not a bag.
09:39It's a Birkin.
09:42Samantha was never one for waiting in line, so she cut right to the front.
09:47Oh, it's not for me.
09:49It's for Lucy Liu.
09:50I'm her press rep, and I would love for her to carry this bag to a premiere next week.
09:54It would be photographed to death.
09:57Does that make a difference?
09:59Let me get, uh, Francesca, our press rep on the phone.
10:03Would you?
10:04Yeah.
10:04Oh, very helpful.
10:10And over on Park Avenue, Charlotte decided she couldn't wait any longer either.
10:15Yes, I'm calling to make an appointment with Dr. Peck.
10:19Um, well, we're having some...
10:22I'm having some difficulty.
10:24I think I need some fertility testing.
10:27Yes, I would, uh, like to make an appointment with Dr. Genya.
10:30I need to come in for a, uh, procedure.
10:35I'm pregnant, and I need not to be.
10:40A couple of days later, Samantha went down a road she shouldn't.
10:50Hello.
10:51Francesca?
10:52Samantha Jones.
10:53Question.
10:54How the fuck long does Lucy Liu have to wait for that Birkin?
10:57Well, if they're so hard to get, maybe you can explain why I just saw a fucking nobody
11:01in a tracksuit carrying the exact one we want.
11:05Lucy Liu is a big, big fucking star, and she wants that bag.
11:09Is Hermes French for we take our good old fucking time?
11:11Thank you so much.
11:23Hey!
11:23Oh, my God!
11:26You scared me!
11:27Sorry!
11:28It's not a breaker and entering.
11:30We were playing basketball, and you guys needed to take a leak.
11:33Oh.
11:34So what's new?
11:35Nothing.
11:39Absolutely nothing.
11:45So how are things?
11:46Uh, I don't know.
11:47The bar's busted my hump.
11:48Yeah, it's pretty good, you know.
11:50So, hey, how's my man?
11:51Is she okay?
11:53What do you mean?
11:54Every call, and she don't call me back.
11:56Oh, she's great.
11:57Yeah.
11:59Yeah?
11:59Yeah?
12:00Mm-hmm.
12:01Hey, she must be pretty busy then, I guess.
12:02Yeah, I'll go.
12:04Okay.
12:09Hey, Puddin'.
12:11Did you tell him?
12:12What?
12:13About Miranda.
12:15No.
12:16Are you sure?
12:17Yeah.
12:17Well, he's asking about Miranda.
12:19He always asks about Miranda.
12:21You told him, didn't you?
12:22No.
12:23Listen, Aiden, it's okay.
12:26I didn't tell him anything.
12:27Well, he's looking at me funny.
12:28That's why he looks at everyone.
12:30Are you sure?
12:31I didn't tell him, but I think he deserves to know.
12:32What does that mean?
12:33I don't agree with what she's doing.
12:35Well, it doesn't really have anything to do with you, does it?
12:37Hey, Chief, you told me.
12:39I just assumed not know any of it.
12:41Listen, sometimes you get in situations that are, you know, that are hard.
12:45You know, we should not be having this conversation with him out in the next room, so just go.
12:49Go.
12:51Go, Puddin'.
12:52I'm listening.
12:55What's bugging you?
12:56Nothing.
12:59Hey, let's go!
13:03Hey, tell Miranda, say hi.
13:05Okay.
13:06Yeah.
13:11I'm on a wait list.
13:13My regular doctor doesn't do them.
13:15No judgment.
13:17That's the way she said it.
13:18Like, it was all one word.
13:19I don't perform them.
13:20No judgment.
13:21So, I'm waiting to see if this other doctor can get me in.
13:24I want to get it over with as soon as possible.
13:26Have you thought any more about telling Steve?
13:29No.
13:29Why would I tell Steve?
13:31I don't know.
13:31Maybe he has a right to know.
13:32No judgment.
13:33Sounds like judgment.
13:38I told Aiden.
13:39Carrie!
13:40I had to.
13:41He's gonna tell Steve.
13:42He will not.
13:43I made him swear on Chanel.
13:44Well, as long as he took the oath of fabric.
13:46He seemed to have pretty strong opinions about the guy having a right to know.
13:50You know, I didn't think this could get any worse, but ha ha, it has.
13:53Now I'm supposed to think about what I'm doing to Steve?
13:55Well, wouldn't you want to know?
13:56No!
13:57I don't even want to know and it's me.
14:02Did you tell the guy from TGI Fridays?
14:04Jesus!
14:05It was the saloon.
14:06And no, I didn't.
14:07Hmm.
14:08It was completely different.
14:09I was 22.
14:10We barely knew each other.
14:11We slept together once after a drunken night at the tunnel.
14:15The tunnel?
14:16No judgment.
14:18I was thinking maybe I should have told him.
14:20There's no way I'm telling Steve.
14:21He'd want me to have it.
14:26You know what?
14:27You're right.
14:28Forget my life.
14:30I'm having Steve's baby.
14:31Pizza for everybody!
14:35Well, everything looks just fine.
14:39Looks good.
14:42Ooh.
14:42Nope.
14:43Sorry.
14:44Spoke too soon.
14:45What is it?
14:46Your blood and mucus tests show extremely elevated anti-sperm antibodies.
14:50Is that bad?
14:51It just means it's going to be that much more difficult for you to conceive naturally.
14:55How much more difficult?
14:57I'd give it a 15% shot.
15:00I would not suggest you wait much longer before you explore in vitro.
15:06After they learned about their detour on the road to baby, Trey had to go back to the hospital and
15:11Charlotte decided to walk home.
15:16Charlotte?
15:17Charlotte?
15:19Oh, hi!
15:20Oh, hi?
15:22Are you kidding me?
15:23What do you mean?
15:24You saw me, turned, and walked the other way.
15:26I didn't see you.
15:27I just changed direction.
15:29I'm allowed to change direction.
15:30First you don't return my calls and then you pretend not to see me on the street?
15:34I just, I really can't see you right now.
15:37Well, you have to see me because I'm standing right here.
15:39I'm sorry about this whole thing, but it's not a personal attack on you.
15:43It was a mistake.
15:45Miranda, I really don't want to talk about this.
15:46This is hard for me too, you know?
15:49And it doesn't make it any easier worrying that you hate me because you think you can't get pregnant.
15:53I can't get pregnant.
15:55If I can, you can.
15:58No, I can't.
16:00I just came from the doctor.
16:02Here.
16:03My body is attacking Chase's sperm.
16:0615% chance, 15% chance of ever having a baby.
16:11Oh.
16:13Is it okay if I go now?
16:15Sure.
16:17You want me to walk with you?
16:18I just want to be alone.
16:20Okay?
16:21Okay.
16:21But I'm just going to walk a little way behind you in case you change your mind and want to
16:26talk.
16:26No, I'm okay.
16:32Charlotte walked all the way home.
16:34And even though she never turned back, she knew Miranda was behind her.
16:47Hi!
16:49Sorry I'm late.
16:51Don't worry about it.
16:53Look what I got.
16:54Some nice man dropped it off at my hotel this morning.
16:57Hermes.
16:58It's a Birkin.
17:00Well, it's not really my style, but hey, it's a free bag.
17:02No, it's not exactly free.
17:04See, I paid for it.
17:05That's my bag.
17:06What do you mean?
17:07Well, there was a five-year waiting list.
17:09Blah, blah, blah.
17:10I used your name.
17:11Blah, blah, blah.
17:13Cutting to the chase.
17:14Yes.
17:16Well, as long as we're cutting to the chase.
17:19The PR rep from Hermes called and told me my rep yelled fuck at her at least twelve times.
17:24Is that your idea of class?
17:26That is absurd.
17:27I have never used the F word.
17:29Who the fuck are you kidding?
17:30Yes, I called to check on the bag.
17:33You know what?
17:35I was on my cell.
17:37Maybe she picked up some crazy person.
17:38One time, I got this scary woman screaming from somewhere in New Jersey.
17:46The only thing worse than a liar is a bad liar.
17:49I won't be needing your services anymore.
17:51I am telling you the truth.
17:54If I was as bad an actress as you, I'd still be serving onion rings at TGI Fridays.
18:00That's my fucking Birkin!
18:02And there went Lucy Liu.
18:04All cause of a Lucy lie.
18:07Fuck.
18:12Meanwhile, I found myself back at a familiar crossroads.
18:16The corner of Columbus and 1988.
18:21It was amazing.
18:23It hadn't changed at all.
18:25Same table.
18:26Same menu.
18:28Same waiter.
18:31Burger medium well.
18:33Calamari.
18:34I couldn't believe it.
18:36His roller skates were gone and his Tony Danza taxi here was thinner.
18:39But it was definitely Chad.
18:41Enjoy.
18:44Drunken night of tunnel, Chad.
18:46You ready to order?
18:49Well, hello there.
18:50Our strips of the day are lentil and tortilla.
18:53Did anyone get your drink order?
18:55Chad?
18:56Yeah.
18:57It's me, Carrie.
19:00Brad Shaw.
19:02We met like 13 years ago.
19:05I came in a few times, half lemonade, half iced tea.
19:10And then there was that night at the tunnel.
19:15Tunnel?
19:17I never went to tunnel.
19:20Yeah, you went to tunnel.
19:22Geez, Sherry, I'm sorry, I don't remember.
19:24It's Carrie.
19:26Right, Carrie.
19:30Um, I'm gonna take the lentil soup, I guess, and some crackers.
19:35Crackers come with.
19:39Hey.
19:41Was I at least smart enough to try something?
19:45No.
19:47You were the perfect gentleman.
19:51I stayed in 1988 just long enough to realize I had made the right decision.
19:56Even though I was sitting in the same seat, I was in a totally different place.
20:09Do you suffer from headaches, allergies, diabetes?
20:14No, no, no.
20:16Bad judgment with old boyfriends?
20:18Yes.
20:18I think I can write that in.
20:25Does it hurt?
20:28Not really.
20:30Mostly it's just unpleasant.
20:33What about after?
20:35How long until I feel back to normal?
20:38You're gonna have to ask them.
20:39Well, how long until you felt back to normal?
20:41Any day now.
20:48I'm doing the right thing.
20:51Right?
20:51Rhonda, I cannot answer that.
20:54Well, what do you think?
20:54What do you think?
20:55I think, what do you think?
20:56You wanna go one more round?
20:58Charlotte only has a 15% chance and she's really trying.
21:01What if I wake up at 43 and find that my one semi-decent ovary gave up and I can't
21:07have kids?
21:0843?
21:08That's my scary age.
21:11Mine's 45.
21:16This happened against all the odds.
21:19My stupid egg found its way to the three sperm he had left.
21:24Oh God, Carrie.
21:28Is this my baby?
21:31I mean, what am I waiting for?
21:33Sweetie, do you wanna leave?
21:35No.
21:37I can't have a baby.
21:39I could barely find the time to schedule this abortion.
21:43Miranda Hobbs?
21:55Motherfucker.
22:07Take it easy.
22:09Sip slowly.
22:11I'm okay.
22:13Little pillow here.
22:16I got it.
22:18Hi.
22:22Hi.
22:24I thought some flowers might do whatever it is flowers are supposed to do in a situation like this.
22:30Yeah, I felt the same way about Entenmann's lemon strudel.
22:35How you feeling?
22:36Pretty freaked out.
22:40Charlotte, I didn't do it.
22:43I'm keeping the baby.
22:47Oh my God.
22:56We're having a baby.
23:03And with those four little words, three aunts were born.
23:09As for me, I should have left Miranda's earlier, so I would have been on time.
23:14Excuse me.
23:1810 minutes late. That's a charm of me.
23:21I'm starved. They wouldn't see me until my party was here.
23:23I'm your party, huh?
23:25Excuse me.
23:26Hi.
23:27Here she is.
23:28We let the table go. It'll be a bit of a wait.
23:32Really?
23:33We can go someplace rolls?
23:35Right there.
23:36Okay.
23:37We'll be at the bar.
23:38Fine. I'll put your name on the list for the bar.
23:40Wait.
23:41There's a way to wait?
23:43We'll be outside.
23:45Don't forget us.
23:47Excuse me.
23:48Pardon me.
23:53How's that beer?
23:55That's classy.
23:56But no waiting.
24:00Hey, nice.
24:01Hey.
24:06I lied to you.
24:08I did have an abortion.
24:12The condom broke.
24:14Okay, that's another lie. There was no condom.
24:17What's with all the lying?
24:18I'm afraid you're gonna judge me.
24:20For being 18 and sleeping with a guy without a condom and getting pregnant and never telling him.
24:26There. That's the whole truth.
24:30Except that I was 20.
24:32Two.
24:3422.
24:35You should have known better.
24:37Is your name really caring?
24:39Yes.
24:42So are you...
24:43Are you judging me?
24:45Hey.
24:46I was no angel.
24:48What, did you ever get a girlfriend answer?
24:50No.
24:52Not that I know of.
24:55God damn.
24:56Must be nice to be a guy sometimes.
25:06So am I sling a girl?
25:09Oh yeah.
25:14Your table is ready?
25:16Be right there.
25:23Oh, and another thing.
25:26Miranda's keeping the baby.
25:28Don't tell Steve.
25:30It's not our business.
25:36They say life is what happens when you're busy making other plans.
25:41But sometimes in New York, life is what happens when you're waiting for a table.
25:49New York welcomes and shelters the tired, the poor, the persecuted, who have been forced to leave their homes at
25:57the whim of a ruling class.
25:58Therefore, it's ironic that all Manhattanites face the same horrible uncertainty, knowing that any day they may have to utter
26:06the tragic words.
26:07My building's going co-op.
26:09Did you get the tomatoes?
26:12My building's going co-op.
26:15I have to move. This is a nightmare.
26:19Why don't you just buy the place?
26:22Yeah. Okay, sure. That's a great idea.
26:25Why not?
26:26Aiden, I just charged tomatoes. I really don't think that I'm in a position to buy an apartment.
26:30I am.
26:33You are?
26:34Yeah.
26:36I had no idea.
26:38Uh-huh.
26:41You have a girlfriend, Moneybags?
26:43I'm afraid so, and she's sexy, and I like it.
26:47Figures.
26:48Seriously?
26:51You want to talk about this?
26:52You're not buying my apartment for me.
26:54Not for you, for us.
26:56I could sell my place and buy this place, and that place next door.
27:00We could tear down that wall.
27:03We could live together.
27:04Yeah.
27:05So then, what...
27:08Are you...
27:09Well, would that make you my landlord or my roommate?
27:11A little of both?
27:12What would the rent be like?
27:15Like...
27:17This?
27:24Does that include utilities?
27:29Think about it.
27:30I have to admit, I was tempted by his offer.
27:33We were spending almost every night together already, and we were in love.
27:37And moving is such a pain in the ass.
27:40And so were the hormone injections.
27:42Ow.
27:42Charlotte was facing nightly.
27:44I don't approve of this, Charlotte.
27:46You've got more hormones in you than a teenage boy.
27:48Well, this is what we have to do now.
27:51I think we should go back to trying to have a baby the old-fashioned way.
27:54Well, why don't we just sit around and wait for a stork?
27:55The doctor said there's still a chance.
27:57A very, very slim chance.
27:59Well, that's good news.
28:00If you had a patient who had a very, very slim chance of living, would that be good news?
28:03Would you tell the family,
28:04Hey, buck up. He's got a shot in hell.
28:07Point taken.
28:08That's why we have to move on to in vitro.
28:10It took Peggy Woodruff seven years to conceive.
28:12Who was Peggy Woodruff?
28:13A woman I met in the elevator.
28:15A lot of couples have trouble conceiving, and they all get through it.
28:18In our building alone, there are six couples who've been through in vitro.
28:21Charlotte, what did you do? Put up a flyer in the lobby?
28:23We're barren. How about you?
28:25We're not barren.
28:25We're reproductively challenged.
28:29Oh, and Peggy invited us over on Friday night to hear all about their experiences.
28:33Isn't that nice?
28:33Oh, as tempting as that sounds, we have the Scottish Society Highland Fling Friday night.
28:38Do we have to fling?
28:39Yes.
28:40It's a family tradition.
28:42First comes spring, then comes fling.
28:44We go every year.
28:45Okay, but...
28:46Well, when are we going to talk to the Woodruffs?
28:49I don't want to talk to the Woodruffs.
28:50I'm a doctor.
28:51I'm familiar with in vitro.
28:53It's a very invasive procedure.
28:55The success rate is extremely low, and it can take years.
28:58I know, honey.
28:59So just in case, I put us on the list for a mandarin baby.
29:03As Charlotte's plan for parenthood progressed with or without Trey, I began to wonder if Aiden's
29:10plan was progressing without me.
29:14He never officially moved in, but his stuff was everywhere.
29:22It's not unusual to be loved by anyone.
29:29It's not unusual to be loved by anyone.
29:40It's not unusual to be loved by anyone.
29:55You're getting engaged.
29:57I threw up.
29:58I saw the ring, and I threw up.
30:00That's not normal.
30:01That's my reaction to marriage.
30:02What do you think he might do if he asks?
30:04I don't know.
30:05Just say yes.
30:07Well, it hasn't been long enough, has it?
30:10Trey and I got engaged after only a month.
30:12How long before you separated?
30:13We're together now, and that's what matters.
30:16When it's right, you just know.
30:17It's okay.
30:18Carrie doesn't know.
30:19Carrie threw up, so it might not be right.
30:21Maybe this is all happening because my building is going co-op.
30:23Is this a real estate merger?
30:26Am I a real estate bride?
30:27If there were unlimited apartments in Manhattan, we'd all be single forever.
30:31What did the ring look like?
30:33Well, that's the other thing.
30:37The ring was not good.
30:39What do you mean?
30:42It was a pear-shaped diamond with a gold band.
30:46Oh!
30:46Ick!
30:47No wonder you threw up.
30:48It's just not me.
30:50You wear gold jewelry?
30:51Yeah, like ghetto gold for fun, but this is my engagement ring.
30:57I helped pick the ring.
31:01You knew about this?
31:02Aiden wanted a female perspective, and P.S.
31:04I was a pregnant woman shopping for a ring with a man who wasn't the baby's father.
31:08It's not exactly my dream scenario.
31:10At least you're pregnant.
31:11Are you going to yell at me every time I mention it?
31:13Because we've got another seven months to go.
31:15I'll just say, I'm not ready to get engaged yet, but I love you and I want to live with
31:21you.
31:22How does that sound?
31:23Like a no.
31:24But it's a yes to living together.
31:25That's a big deal.
31:26You know, that's a first for me.
31:27Don't I get a little credit for that?
31:28Just try to be nice, because down the road you might want to marry him.
31:32I'm going to have to act surprised.
31:35I wonder when it's going to happen.
31:38Do you know when he's going to do it?
31:39No.
31:39And you're on your own.
31:40I am no longer involved.
31:42Oh.
31:43Now you're not involved.
31:45Now that I'm stuck with the bad ring.
31:47See, that's a nice ring.
31:49Aiden should have known that that ring wasn't me.
31:51How can I marry a guy who doesn't know which ring is me?
31:55Exactly, honey.
31:56Wrong ring, wrong guy.
32:02Is it true what Charlotte said?
32:03Does anybody really know when it's right?
32:05And how do you know?
32:07Are there signs?
32:09Fireworks?
32:09Is it right when it feels comfortable?
32:11Or is comfortable a sign that there aren't any fireworks?
32:16Is hesitation a sign that it's not right?
32:18Or is it just a sign that you're not ready?
32:21In matters of love, how do you know when it's right?
32:26Downtown, Samantha was meeting with Mr. Right.
32:28Mr. Richard Right, that is.
32:30The hotel magnate slash mega-client, who was fast becoming the pain in her ass.
32:34Oh, Christ, you're seven minutes late.
32:36It took me 15 minutes to get through your labyrinth of a lobby.
32:39Where's my London hotel?
32:41Bobby De Niro spends the weekend at Blake's and I get knocked off the page.
32:44That little fucker has stayed at my place.
32:46We gave him the fucking penthouse suite.
32:48Now, did you ask somebody what happened?
32:51Or did you spend the morning accessorizing?
32:53I talked to the travel editor.
32:54I pulled two of our ads.
32:55It won't happen again.
32:57I also got a full-page feature on the Barcelona property out of it.
33:02Not bad.
33:04May I sit down now?
33:06What the hell?
33:12What's with you? Female trouble?
33:14Let's just talk business, shall we?
33:17Come on.
33:18You can tell me I'm human.
33:20All evidence to the contrary.
33:25I love that you're not scared of me.
33:30My best friend might be getting engaged.
33:34And she didn't ask you to be a bridesmaid?
33:36It's just...
33:37Why does everybody have to get married and have kids?
33:39It's so cliché.
33:41Hey, you're preaching to the converted.
33:43I like to sleep around.
33:44Whisk somebody off to Rio if the mood strikes me.
33:47It's the perfect nine-hour flight.
33:50Dinner on the jet.
33:51Wake up in Brazil.
33:54Spend the weekend at my little five-star hotel.
33:58Who needs a wife when you have a life?
34:02That's all I'm saying.
34:09Meanwhile, Miranda had been waiting for the right place and the right way to tell Steve about the baby.
34:15You want sprinkles?
34:16Steve, I'm pregnant.
34:17Instead, she's settled for right now.
34:19You're what?
34:20I'm, uh, pregnant.
34:22And it's yours.
34:24That will be six daughters?
34:26I...
34:28Are you sure?
34:29I've only had one shot in the last few months and it was you.
34:32And I'm the only guy that you've had sex with.
34:34Hey, it's been a slow summer.
34:37Okay, we're done here.
34:41Wow.
34:43I guess it's good to know that my warm ball is still working.
34:49So, uh...
34:49What now?
34:52Uh, I'm gonna have it.
34:54No way.
34:55When we were together, I wanted to have a baby.
34:56You said you weren't ready.
34:57Well, I'm still not ready, but when am I ever gonna be ready?
35:01Man, I just went into so much debt open in my bar.
35:03I'm thinking maybe I should sell it.
35:05No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
35:06You don't have to do anything.
35:07I'm gonna take care of the baby and support it.
35:09And you can visit whenever you want, but it's not gonna be your problem.
35:12It's...
35:13It's my decision and it's just something I want to do for me.
35:17Then why did you want to talk to me about it?
35:20I just thought you should know.
35:22Oh.
35:25Later that week, I decided to head Aiden off at the pass by taking him out to dinner and accepting
35:30his proposal.
35:32So...
35:32Yes.
35:34I say yes to living together.
35:37I think that we're ready for that step.
35:38Yes, we still have to, you know, work out the money because I don't want a free ride.
35:41We're still individuals, but we'll be sharing a life and an apartment.
35:48So...
35:49Yes, Aiden.
35:51I would love to live with you.
35:53Wow.
35:54That makes me really happy, Carrie.
35:58Because there's something else I want to ask you.
35:59Could you excuse me for a minute?
36:01Sure. Are you okay?
36:02Uh-huh, uh-huh. I'm just gonna go to the bathroom.
36:03I'm not.
36:18I'm okay.
36:20No, you're not.
36:23I'm sorry.
36:24Bye.
36:24Bye.
36:24What are you doing?
36:27What are you talking to me?
36:28Oh.
36:29Oh no.
36:31No I wasn't.
36:32I'm sorry.
36:35I'm so sorry.
36:42Hey.
36:43Hey.
36:44Did you want dessert?
36:46No.
36:47No.
36:47No.
36:47I would say no to desserts.
36:50All right, then.
36:54Listen, Carrie.
37:07I know that you wanted to pay.
37:12Let me get this.
37:14Oh.
37:15Because your rent's about to skyrocket.
37:19Give me a little something.
37:25Oh, yeah.
37:43You're learning Chinese.
37:44Just in case, I wouldn't be able to speak to the baby.
37:51Wouldn't we teach the baby to speak?
37:53Well, sometimes you get a slightly older child.
37:55And anyhow, we ought to really try to understand her heritage.
37:58So it's a Mandarin girl now, is it?
38:00Well, it's mostly little unwanted girls.
38:03But the good news is, since we're both dark-haired,
38:05people won't immediately know that she's not ours.
38:08I hope you remembered to pick up your kilt at the dry cleaner.
38:12You know, I really don't feel like going to the fling tonight.
38:16We have to go.
38:18It's a family tradition.
38:19We are not going to behave like your typical barren couple.
38:22We can't let this get us down.
38:24We have to live.
38:25Plus, I had a plaid dressmate.
38:27Maybe we should look at cutting back on your fertility drugs.
38:31Just a thought.
38:35It's my first visit.
38:38Wash your teeth, I like to.
38:40Wash your teeth, I like to.
38:43Taxi!
38:45What?
38:45Come on, buddy.
38:46You got nobody in there.
38:49Jesus.
38:50Taxi!
38:50Taxi!
38:56Hey, lady!
38:59You arrived?
39:05Is this the city's solution with the cab shortage?
39:08Just a happy coincidence.
39:10Oh, admit it.
39:11You drive around looking for me, don't you?
39:13Don't flatter yourself.
39:14You're on my turf.
39:16You got the good shops.
39:17Get in.
39:17We're all in the traffic.
39:20You going home?
39:21Yeah.
39:21Are you seriously giving me a ride?
39:24Is it on your way?
39:25Nope.
39:27Raul, East 73rd Street.
39:28Right away.
39:29Well, thank you.
39:30Hey, Raul and I do this all day.
39:33Picking the ladies up?
39:34Dropping them off.
39:36How have you been?
39:38Good.
39:38You?
39:39Very good.
39:40Then I've been very, very good.
39:41Uh, it's not a contest.
39:43All right.
39:44Then I take back one very.
39:45How are things with Country Pam?
39:48You know his name now.
39:50Aiden.
39:51Things are very good there, too.
39:55Oh, what was that?
39:56What?
39:57That smile.
40:00I don't think you want to know.
40:01Oh, I bet I can handle it.
40:03Are you sure?
40:04What the hell?
40:06I think he wants to marry me.
40:09You think or you know?
40:10I know, actually.
40:12And you've discussed it?
40:13No, I...
40:14It's just a...
40:16It's just the kind of thing you know.
40:18Not going to happen.
40:19Let's not talk about it.
40:21He's not the guy for you.
40:23He might be the guy for me.
40:25I'm just not ready yet.
40:27You're never going to be ready, baby.
40:29You're not the marrying kind.
40:31And you, I guess, are.
40:33So what does that tell us?
40:35Nobody knows shit?
40:36Yeah.
40:37In any case, I'm not taking relationship advice.
40:40From you.
40:42Hey, I just offered you a ride.
40:48I tried it.
40:49I tried it.
40:51I didn't have to worry.
