1
00:00:48,590 --> 00:00:50,676
One of the best things
about New York
2
00:00:50,759 --> 00:00:54,346
is that on any given night
there are a million things to do.
3
00:00:55,973 --> 00:00:59,101
One of the worst things about New York
is trying to pick one.
4
00:01:06,567 --> 00:01:10,237
Those floors next door,
they were in worse shape than yours.
5
00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:12,864
Hey, you want me to see
if I can get us into Town.?
6
00:01:12,948 --> 00:01:15,033
You know that restaurant
in the Chambers Hotel
7
00:01:15,117 --> 00:01:17,369
with the period in the name,
Town period.
8
00:01:17,452 --> 00:01:20,706
It's supposed to be amazing.
Exclamation point.
9
00:01:20,789 --> 00:01:22,958
-You know what sounds amazing to me?
-What?
10
00:01:24,543 --> 00:01:26,920
Nice hot shower, watching the game.
11
00:01:27,921 --> 00:01:31,091
Bucket of KFC.
Mashed potaters, biscuits.
12
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,302
But it's Saturday night.
13
00:01:33,385 --> 00:01:34,261
It's finger-licking good.
14
00:01:36,054 --> 00:01:39,474
K period, F period, C period.
15
00:01:39,558 --> 00:01:40,559
Mmm.
16
00:01:47,691 --> 00:01:50,611
It's about fucking time.
Get over here and do me.
17
00:01:50,694 --> 00:01:54,031
-Is that your standard greeting now?
-Oh, sorry, I thought it was Richard.
18
00:01:54,114 --> 00:01:56,116
That asshole said he'd call me back
in five minutes.
19
00:01:56,199 --> 00:01:57,743
That was four hours ago.
20
00:01:57,826 --> 00:01:59,119
I've been waiting by the phone.
21
00:01:59,202 --> 00:02:01,330
Yeah, well, my dinner
might be arriving in a bucket.
22
00:02:01,413 --> 00:02:03,081
-Do you wanna go out?
-Immediately.
23
00:02:03,165 --> 00:02:05,250
-I'll conference in the other girls.
-You know how to do that?
24
00:02:05,334 --> 00:02:07,419
How else do you have
three-way phone sex?
25
00:02:07,502 --> 00:02:08,962
-Hello?
-What are you doing?
26
00:02:09,046 --> 00:02:11,173
-York-MacDougal residence.
-It's for me, I've got it!
27
00:02:11,256 --> 00:02:12,257
Good for you.
28
00:02:12,799 --> 00:02:14,509
It's the first time we talked today.
29
00:02:14,593 --> 00:02:16,178
-Hello?
-We're going out.
30
00:02:16,261 --> 00:02:18,847
-Who's on the phone?
-All of us. It's the future.
31
00:02:18,930 --> 00:02:21,016
Why are you guys calling me so late?
32
00:02:21,099 --> 00:02:22,934
It's 7:30. Were you asleep?
33
00:02:23,352 --> 00:02:24,853
I'm pregnant. I'm always asleep.
34
00:02:24,936 --> 00:02:27,356
These are my last months of freedom,
and I'm spending them in bed.
35
00:02:27,439 --> 00:02:28,774
Just don't spend them alone in bed.
36
00:02:28,857 --> 00:02:31,735
I'm a lost cause, go on without me.
Save yourselves.
37
00:02:31,818 --> 00:02:34,446
No, we're all going.
We have to shake things up
38
00:02:34,529 --> 00:02:37,324
before we officially
become boring.
39
00:02:37,741 --> 00:02:39,493
-I say we go dancing.
-I'm in.
40
00:02:39,576 --> 00:02:40,410
Let's go dancing!
41
00:02:40,494 --> 00:02:42,371
Okay, but not somewhere
I'm gonna feel worse about myself
42
00:02:42,454 --> 00:02:44,206
when no one's interested 'cause I'm fat.
43
00:02:44,289 --> 00:02:45,624
You're not fat. You're pregnant.
44
00:02:45,707 --> 00:02:47,876
Yeah, that'll have men
lining up at the door.
45
00:02:48,460 --> 00:02:51,213
-I know exactly where we should go.
-Ooh.
46
00:02:51,922 --> 00:02:54,925
That night we finally answered
the age-old question:
47
00:02:55,008 --> 00:02:57,052
"Where are all the hot guys?"
48
00:02:57,719 --> 00:02:59,971
-Well, the hot gay guys.
49
00:03:02,265 --> 00:03:05,143
They were at the hot gay club, Trade.
50
00:03:07,854 --> 00:03:09,856
I feel like
we don't belong here.
51
00:03:09,940 --> 00:03:12,359
That's because we're wearing shirts.
52
00:03:12,442 --> 00:03:16,363
Seriously, why don't straight men
have bodies like this?
53
00:03:16,446 --> 00:03:19,533
Because gay men
have the possibility of sex at the gym.
54
00:03:19,616 --> 00:03:21,952
If straight men had that,
they'd be working out all the time, too.
55
00:03:22,035 --> 00:03:23,537
I've had sex at the gym.
56
00:03:23,620 --> 00:03:26,206
See, Samantha's doing her part
to motivate the masses.
57
00:03:26,289 --> 00:03:27,582
All right,
I'm going to the ladies' room.
58
00:03:27,666 --> 00:03:29,710
Oh. Me too. I bet there's no line.
59
00:03:30,377 --> 00:03:32,713
-So wait. We'll meet you at the bar?
-At the bar.
60
00:03:33,922 --> 00:03:35,757
Char. Char!
61
00:03:37,008 --> 00:03:39,928
-Char.
-Oh, my God, it's Anthony.
62
00:03:40,011 --> 00:03:41,388
-Hi.
-Jesus fucking Christ.
63
00:03:41,471 --> 00:03:42,764
What the hell are you doing here?
64
00:03:42,848 --> 00:03:45,016
We're just shaking things up.
You remember Carrie?
65
00:03:45,100 --> 00:03:46,685
-Hi.
-Love what you're almost wearing.
66
00:03:46,768 --> 00:03:49,855
Uh-huh, sister.
Day-Glo Underwear, look into it.
67
00:03:49,938 --> 00:03:52,107
-Are we gonna dance?
-Oh, this is my friend Gordon.
68
00:03:52,190 --> 00:03:54,025
He's a design editor for House & Garden.
69
00:03:54,109 --> 00:03:57,070
Oh, my God. I love that magazine.
70
00:03:57,154 --> 00:04:00,449
I used to wear my mother's pearls
and flip through it when I was little.
71
00:04:00,532 --> 00:04:01,783
Me too.
72
00:04:01,867 --> 00:04:05,203
Hey, I've got a great before apartment,
if you need an after.
73
00:04:05,287 --> 00:04:08,206
You should see Char's apartment.
It's Park Avenue, so freaking gorgeous.
74
00:04:08,790 --> 00:04:10,500
We're doing
a big urban issue this spring.
75
00:04:10,584 --> 00:04:12,085
Maybe I should check it out.
76
00:04:12,169 --> 00:04:16,089
Oh, my God. If my apartment
could be in H & G magazine,
77
00:04:16,173 --> 00:04:17,132
I would be in heaven.
78
00:04:17,215 --> 00:04:19,301
You are pretty. You wanna dance?
79
00:04:19,384 --> 00:04:21,052
Okay.
80
00:04:24,264 --> 00:04:26,516
So how long have you worked there?
81
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,727
I get him all wound up, she cashes in.
82
00:04:28,810 --> 00:04:30,228
Are you two together?
83
00:04:30,312 --> 00:04:32,105
No, but I'm hoping we will be
around 3:30.
84
00:04:32,189 --> 00:04:33,273
Oh, you're dirty.
85
00:04:33,356 --> 00:04:36,443
-Dance?
-No, I'm good. You kids go have fun.
86
00:04:36,526 --> 00:04:37,611
-Okay.
-Okay.
87
00:04:37,694 --> 00:04:38,820
Watch out for the fairy.
88
00:04:39,529 --> 00:04:40,447
Which one?
89
00:04:43,533 --> 00:04:45,368
Attention gentlemen, ladies present.
90
00:04:46,578 --> 00:04:50,582
Sorry.
There's no ladies' room, because...
91
00:04:51,124 --> 00:04:53,668
Yeah. Oh, excuse me. Thanks.
92
00:05:04,179 --> 00:05:06,640
Don't mind me, fellas. Just looking.
93
00:05:07,349 --> 00:05:10,227
Kind of like being a diabetic
at Baskin-Robbins.
94
00:05:11,561 --> 00:05:12,562
Sir?
95
00:05:13,980 --> 00:05:14,981
Hello?
96
00:05:15,524 --> 00:05:18,151
Excuse me. Hey, over here.
97
00:05:18,235 --> 00:05:21,196
Hello? Anybody?
98
00:05:24,991 --> 00:05:27,619
-What do you need?
-A penis, evidently.
99
00:05:27,702 --> 00:05:30,455
-I'm trying to order a dirty martini.
100
00:05:30,539 --> 00:05:34,209
Kurt, a dirty martini for the lovely
and talented Carrie Bradshaw.
101
00:05:35,043 --> 00:05:36,044
Thank you.
102
00:05:36,127 --> 00:05:37,754
-Oliver Spencer.
-Hello.
103
00:05:37,838 --> 00:05:40,924
I've only been in the States six months,
and I've come to regard your column
104
00:05:41,007 --> 00:05:42,676
as my New York survival guide.
105
00:05:42,759 --> 00:05:46,304
Oh, Oliver, you're a dead man.
I have no idea what I'm talking about.
106
00:05:47,347 --> 00:05:49,307
-What do you do?
-I'm a shoe distributor.
107
00:05:49,391 --> 00:05:51,309
It would be cruel to kid me.
108
00:05:51,393 --> 00:05:55,021
All the top lines.
Offices here, Sydney, and Milan.
109
00:05:55,105 --> 00:05:57,941
So, then you get a discount?
110
00:05:58,024 --> 00:06:00,902
For special friends and columnists.
111
00:06:02,487 --> 00:06:05,240
-Thank you. Cheers.
-Cheers to you.
112
00:06:05,991 --> 00:06:06,992
Hello, what's this?
113
00:06:07,742 --> 00:06:08,994
-What?
-That.
114
00:06:09,452 --> 00:06:11,371
Oh, this.
115
00:06:11,454 --> 00:06:13,915
Yeah, I keep forgetting I'm engaged.
116
00:06:13,999 --> 00:06:16,418
You can't go off the market.
You're my dating guru.
117
00:06:16,501 --> 00:06:18,336
I'm still allowed to see other gays.
118
00:06:18,420 --> 00:06:20,505
Then you must allow me
to take you to brunch.
119
00:06:20,589 --> 00:06:22,007
-I'll give you my card.
-All right.
120
00:06:22,090 --> 00:06:23,842
-Can you hold this for a moment?
-Sure.
121
00:06:23,925 --> 00:06:25,969
-Thanks.
-What's this, a goody bag?
122
00:06:26,052 --> 00:06:28,555
Of course, I was at
a film release party earlier.
123
00:06:29,764 --> 00:06:33,518
-Jox and Cocks 4.
-I was told it's a Merchant Ivory film.
124
00:06:33,602 --> 00:06:34,895
Would I be able to enjoy this
125
00:06:34,978 --> 00:06:37,188
if I missed Jox and Cocks 1, 2 and 3?
126
00:06:37,272 --> 00:06:40,609
Yes, but you'd want to see those
eventually. Very important films.
127
00:06:46,197 --> 00:06:48,742
Max, hey. Hi.
128
00:06:48,825 --> 00:06:53,038
Max was a junior associate at
Miranda's law firm and, apparently, gay.
129
00:06:53,121 --> 00:06:55,373
-Hi.
-I had no idea.
130
00:06:55,457 --> 00:06:57,292
I had no idea you were a gay man either.
131
00:06:58,793 --> 00:07:01,755
I'm here with friends.
And there's no ladies' room, because...
132
00:07:01,838 --> 00:07:03,840
-Yeah.
-Yeah.
133
00:07:03,924 --> 00:07:06,718
Listen, Miranda. Uh...
134
00:07:06,801 --> 00:07:09,888
I'd kind of prefer if we didn't
make an issue out of this at work.
135
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,309
I'm not in the closet.
I just wouldn't want the older partners
136
00:07:14,392 --> 00:07:15,393
to start treating me differently.
137
00:07:15,477 --> 00:07:17,771
Oh, I totally understand.
138
00:07:17,854 --> 00:07:20,231
And between you and me, I'm pregnant.
139
00:07:20,315 --> 00:07:21,441
And unwed.
140
00:07:21,524 --> 00:07:23,401
Perhaps you should spend less time
in gay clubs.
141
00:07:24,736 --> 00:07:26,404
Well, seriously, good for you.
142
00:07:26,488 --> 00:07:28,239
Well, remains to be seen.
143
00:07:28,323 --> 00:07:32,327
Anyhow, I haven't told anybody at work,
because good-bye to the good cases
144
00:07:32,410 --> 00:07:33,828
and then it's only a matter of time
145
00:07:33,912 --> 00:07:36,331
before the buzzards
start vying for my office.
146
00:07:36,414 --> 00:07:38,166
Well, it is a very nice office.
147
00:08:15,161 --> 00:08:17,330
- I'm coming here every week.
-Totally.
148
00:08:17,414 --> 00:08:18,248
Excuse me.
149
00:08:19,457 --> 00:08:21,292
What did I miss?
150
00:08:21,376 --> 00:08:24,087
I peed in a men's room
and outed a coworker.
151
00:08:24,170 --> 00:08:26,256
I got a phone number and some porn.
152
00:08:26,339 --> 00:08:28,466
I saw two dicks and took a hit of X.
153
00:08:28,550 --> 00:08:31,094
To think that
I almost slept through this.
154
00:08:31,177 --> 00:08:33,388
I can't believe you took ecstasy
from a stranger?
155
00:08:33,471 --> 00:08:36,641
He wasn't a stranger. He was a friend
of my friend Bobby's friend Bobby.
156
00:08:36,725 --> 00:08:38,435
Oh, well, then you know it's safe.
157
00:08:39,144 --> 00:08:40,729
Will we be going to a rave later?
158
00:08:40,812 --> 00:08:42,897
No, but I might have to
drop in on Richard.
159
00:08:42,981 --> 00:08:46,317
Sex on X is supposed to be amazing.
It releases all of your inhibitions.
160
00:08:46,860 --> 00:08:48,445
You have inhibitions?
161
00:08:51,448 --> 00:08:54,451
-Oh, my God, look.
-Three dicks and counting.
162
00:08:56,036 --> 00:08:57,996
- They say opposites attract.
163
00:08:58,079 --> 00:08:59,664
What they fail to mention
164
00:08:59,748 --> 00:09:03,293
is that opposites also tend to have
opposite views
165
00:09:03,376 --> 00:09:06,296
on what constitutes
a rocking Saturday night.
166
00:09:15,305 --> 00:09:16,848
-Hey.
-Hey.
167
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:18,725
How was your night?
168
00:09:20,977 --> 00:09:22,353
I've got a goody bag.
169
00:09:23,271 --> 00:09:25,190
-Know what's in it?
-Mmm.
170
00:09:25,982 --> 00:09:28,193
Oh, come on,
I had to fight a foreigner for it.
171
00:09:30,779 --> 00:09:31,821
Mmm, come here.
172
00:09:33,823 --> 00:09:36,201
Just tuck in here and...
173
00:09:37,619 --> 00:09:39,204
let's go to sleep.
174
00:09:39,746 --> 00:09:42,248
-I'm not tired yet.
-You will be. Shh.
175
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,128
Hey, you, I had five cocktails.
176
00:09:54,010 --> 00:09:57,722
I danced with a lot of fine...
177
00:09:58,598 --> 00:10:00,725
half-naked men.
178
00:10:01,476 --> 00:10:04,020
If you would wake up right now,
179
00:10:04,104 --> 00:10:06,272
I can almost guarantee
180
00:10:07,190 --> 00:10:10,235
you'd be in for some F...
181
00:10:12,070 --> 00:10:13,071
U...
182
00:10:15,198 --> 00:10:16,199
N.
183
00:10:19,410 --> 00:10:21,371
I ate too much chicken, I think.
184
00:10:22,205 --> 00:10:25,125
Just... Will you rub my belly, baby?
185
00:10:27,877 --> 00:10:29,921
I know it was wrong to compare,
186
00:10:30,004 --> 00:10:33,341
but I felt like I had spent the evening
in a Calvin Klein ad
187
00:10:33,424 --> 00:10:36,970
and now I was back
to baseball, buckets, and BVDs.
188
00:10:37,053 --> 00:10:38,304
- Oh, yeah. Yes!
189
00:10:38,388 --> 00:10:41,808
Meanwhile,
Samantha was having X-cellent sex.
190
00:10:46,312 --> 00:10:47,480
That was amazing.
191
00:10:49,065 --> 00:10:50,358
You are amazing.
192
00:10:51,359 --> 00:10:52,569
I love you, Richard.
193
00:10:54,487 --> 00:10:56,322
I am in love with you.
194
00:10:58,366 --> 00:10:59,993
You told him you loved him?
195
00:11:00,076 --> 00:11:01,703
It was the X talking.
196
00:11:01,786 --> 00:11:03,997
All I wanted to do was to have sex.
197
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,958
Okay, okay, and then what did he say?
198
00:11:07,041 --> 00:11:08,793
Nothing, he just went to sleep.
199
00:11:08,877 --> 00:11:11,504
Oof! Well, is it possible
he didn't hear you?
200
00:11:11,588 --> 00:11:12,463
No, he heard me.
201
00:11:12,547 --> 00:11:13,965
Can I get a fucking cab?
202
00:11:15,091 --> 00:11:19,012
If he was any kind of gentleman at all,
he'd pretend it never happened.
203
00:11:19,095 --> 00:11:20,680
But you did have sex, right?
204
00:11:20,763 --> 00:11:22,390
Of course we had sex.
205
00:11:23,141 --> 00:11:26,853
Aidan and I didn't.
He fell asleep, and I watched gay porn.
206
00:11:26,936 --> 00:11:29,564
See, that's what happens
when people say "I love you."
207
00:11:29,647 --> 00:11:30,815
So do you love him?
208
00:11:30,899 --> 00:11:33,151
Oh, who the hell knows?
209
00:11:33,234 --> 00:11:36,446
-Maybe the X knows.
-Carrie, it makes you giddy.
210
00:11:36,529 --> 00:11:40,325
I was in love with the taxi driver,
the doorman, his sweater.
211
00:11:40,408 --> 00:11:42,660
But you only said it to Richard.
212
00:11:42,744 --> 00:11:44,537
I am never taking X again.
213
00:11:44,621 --> 00:11:47,207
It is a dangerous, dangerous drug.
214
00:11:47,290 --> 00:11:50,501
That afternoon,
I was high on another feel-good drug:
215
00:11:50,585 --> 00:11:52,045
The new gay friend.
216
00:11:52,128 --> 00:11:53,880
Could you be more fantastic?
217
00:11:53,963 --> 00:11:55,757
And they say you can't meet men in bars.
218
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,342
That was true for me last night.
219
00:11:57,425 --> 00:12:00,345
I went to Trade hoping to meet
someone new for just a shag
220
00:12:00,428 --> 00:12:02,472
-'cause I've got a boyfriend in Sydney.
-Hmm.
221
00:12:02,555 --> 00:12:04,515
And the only person I met was you.
222
00:12:04,599 --> 00:12:05,892
Not that I'm disappointed.
223
00:12:05,975 --> 00:12:09,270
And your boyfriend doesn't mind
if you date other men?
224
00:12:09,354 --> 00:12:11,231
Not date, have sex with.
225
00:12:11,314 --> 00:12:15,026
-Oh, right, the international gay rules.
-Absolutely.
226
00:12:15,109 --> 00:12:19,280
Blow jobs only, no last names.
The gym is a free space.
227
00:12:19,364 --> 00:12:22,367
And never ever show up at the same place
wearing the same shirt.
228
00:12:22,450 --> 00:12:25,411
But then I just crossed over
into another set of rules.
229
00:12:25,495 --> 00:12:27,080
You've certainly worked out
a lot more options
230
00:12:27,163 --> 00:12:28,248
than "Till death do us part."
231
00:12:28,331 --> 00:12:29,457
That's all we've come up with,
232
00:12:29,540 --> 00:12:32,168
and frankly,
I find it a little limiting.
233
00:12:32,252 --> 00:12:34,212
I know gay couples who are monogamous.
234
00:12:34,796 --> 00:12:36,005
But I'm a realist.
235
00:12:36,881 --> 00:12:39,217
I don't expect to get everything
from one man.
236
00:12:39,300 --> 00:12:42,262
But I guess I shouldn't be saying this
to someone wearing a ring.
237
00:12:43,012 --> 00:12:46,099
-What's with you and this ring?
-What's with you and the ring?
238
00:12:46,182 --> 00:12:48,601
-You haven't even mentioned him.
-Aidan.
239
00:12:48,685 --> 00:12:49,769
What's Aidan like?
240
00:12:51,562 --> 00:12:52,647
He's very tall.
241
00:12:53,773 --> 00:12:56,651
And incredibly kind.
242
00:12:58,027 --> 00:12:59,070
And...
243
00:13:00,655 --> 00:13:01,656
handsome.
244
00:13:02,031 --> 00:13:04,909
So why would you leave that at home
on a Saturday night?
245
00:13:04,993 --> 00:13:06,786
Well, he wanted to stay in
and listen to sports
246
00:13:06,869 --> 00:13:07,912
with a bucket of chicken.
247
00:13:07,996 --> 00:13:10,248
Oh, he would've made my dad so proud.
248
00:13:11,791 --> 00:13:13,126
Have you been to Bungalow 8 yet?
249
00:13:13,209 --> 00:13:15,211
No, but I hear
it's a completely pretentious,
250
00:13:15,295 --> 00:13:18,423
members-only, tiny, crowded club
that you need a key to get into.
251
00:13:18,506 --> 00:13:19,924
-I have a key.
-When are we going?
252
00:13:22,385 --> 00:13:25,596
Well, if it isn't
little Carrie Bradshaw.
253
00:13:25,680 --> 00:13:27,098
Young Stanford.
254
00:13:28,141 --> 00:13:29,350
How are ya?
255
00:13:29,434 --> 00:13:31,144
At the moment, confused.
256
00:13:31,227 --> 00:13:32,437
Um, who's this?
257
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:36,482
-Oh, Oliver Spencer, Stanford Blatch.
-Pleasure to meet you.
258
00:13:36,566 --> 00:13:38,693
I don't mean to be rude,
but I must go to the men's room.
259
00:13:38,776 --> 00:13:40,987
-Oh.
-Oh, I've just been, you'll love it.
260
00:13:41,070 --> 00:13:41,904
Really?
261
00:13:42,864 --> 00:13:44,824
-I'll be right here.
-I'll be right back.
262
00:13:47,076 --> 00:13:49,537
-So?
-Yes?
263
00:13:49,620 --> 00:13:51,789
I saw the way you were behaving.
264
00:13:51,873 --> 00:13:54,959
You're sleeping with the beautiful man.
265
00:13:55,043 --> 00:13:57,211
The beautiful man is gay.
266
00:13:58,212 --> 00:14:00,673
Damn! An accent always throws me.
267
00:14:00,757 --> 00:14:02,675
He's only been in New York
for about six months.
268
00:14:03,676 --> 00:14:05,011
I picked him up at Trade.
269
00:14:05,762 --> 00:14:08,181
You went to shirtless heaven without me?
270
00:14:08,264 --> 00:14:09,474
It wasn't the same.
271
00:14:09,557 --> 00:14:13,061
I was prepared to lose you to Aidan,
but this...
272
00:14:13,144 --> 00:14:14,896
Is just brunch.
273
00:14:14,979 --> 00:14:17,315
-I'm green with envy.
-Yes, you are.
274
00:14:17,398 --> 00:14:21,110
Fine. Have your beautiful brunch
with your beautiful man
275
00:14:21,194 --> 00:14:23,613
and then go home
to your other beautiful man.
276
00:14:23,696 --> 00:14:24,822
Greedy, greedy, greedy.
277
00:14:26,699 --> 00:14:30,870
Later, I started to think about
restlessness and relationships.
278
00:14:30,953 --> 00:14:32,955
Once we've found
what we've been searching for,
279
00:14:33,039 --> 00:14:36,376
why are some of us reluctant
to let go of our single selves?
280
00:14:37,001 --> 00:14:38,378
Is single life in New York
281
00:14:38,461 --> 00:14:40,713
such a constant flurry
of fun and friends
282
00:14:40,797 --> 00:14:45,802
that settling down immediately fills us
with the urge to shake things up again?
283
00:14:45,885 --> 00:14:49,097
And why does becoming part of a couple
imply settling down?
284
00:14:49,555 --> 00:14:51,057
Maybe Oliver does have the key
285
00:14:51,140 --> 00:14:53,768
in that we shouldn't expect to get
everything from one man,
286
00:14:53,851 --> 00:14:57,814
but instead, feel comfortable getting
different things from different people.
287
00:14:57,897 --> 00:15:00,274
Although at what point
do separate interests
288
00:15:00,358 --> 00:15:01,901
become separate bedrooms?
289
00:15:01,984 --> 00:15:04,904
I couldn't help but wonder,
to be in a couple,
290
00:15:04,987 --> 00:15:07,573
do you have to put your single self
on a shelf?
291
00:15:08,408 --> 00:15:12,370
Meanwhile, Miranda's workaholic
single self was a thing of the past.
292
00:15:12,453 --> 00:15:14,288
Now she was sleeping for two.
293
00:15:14,372 --> 00:15:16,082
It's finally happening.
294
00:15:17,041 --> 00:15:20,837
Stern, Hawkins, Erickson
is moving into the future.
295
00:15:21,295 --> 00:15:23,381
Excuse me, what? We're moving?
296
00:15:23,464 --> 00:15:25,049
Casual Friday.
297
00:15:25,633 --> 00:15:28,636
The entire partnership
finally okayed it. Finally.
298
00:15:29,137 --> 00:15:31,389
I've been working on this for what,
two years now?
299
00:15:31,931 --> 00:15:34,767
Oh. Right. Well, great.
300
00:15:34,851 --> 00:15:36,018
Yeah, thanks.
301
00:15:37,270 --> 00:15:38,271
And...
302
00:15:38,980 --> 00:15:40,690
Congratulations.
303
00:15:58,458 --> 00:16:00,251
Did you tell Celeste I was pregnant?
304
00:16:01,252 --> 00:16:04,922
Okay, yes, but only in your defense.
305
00:16:05,298 --> 00:16:06,132
What?
306
00:16:06,549 --> 00:16:08,301
This morning, she was telling everyone
307
00:16:08,384 --> 00:16:10,511
how she saw you sleeping under your desk
a couple of times
308
00:16:10,595 --> 00:16:12,680
and that you might be an alcoholic,
or bipolar or something.
309
00:16:12,763 --> 00:16:15,391
-So you told her I was pregnant?
-Isn't that better?
310
00:16:15,475 --> 00:16:17,435
No, not at a law firm, no.
311
00:16:18,352 --> 00:16:20,813
Sorry. I told her it was a secret.
312
00:16:20,897 --> 00:16:22,398
She can't keep a secret.
313
00:16:22,482 --> 00:16:24,817
She's probably
told everybody in the office by now.
314
00:16:24,901 --> 00:16:25,735
How would you like it
315
00:16:25,818 --> 00:16:28,154
if I told everybody in the office
that you were gay?
316
00:16:29,572 --> 00:16:31,324
Casual Friday has arrived.
317
00:16:34,869 --> 00:16:35,870
Great.
318
00:16:36,913 --> 00:16:38,664
Maybe next you can call my grandparents.
319
00:16:42,668 --> 00:16:44,795
- Mmm, give me some of that.
320
00:16:44,879 --> 00:16:47,465
-This is gay porn.
-What was your first clue?
321
00:16:47,548 --> 00:16:50,510
You said we were watching
an independent film. I brought biscotti.
322
00:16:50,593 --> 00:16:53,846
Oh, relax, I've watched it already,
and I'm telling you,
323
00:16:53,930 --> 00:16:55,598
this is really funny.
324
00:16:56,516 --> 00:16:57,975
See, that's the way to do it.
325
00:16:58,059 --> 00:17:00,770
No "I love you."
Just good old-fashioned fucking.
326
00:17:00,853 --> 00:17:03,314
I am not in the mood for gay porn.
327
00:17:07,818 --> 00:17:09,946
Not in the mood for gay porn?
328
00:17:10,029 --> 00:17:11,322
Don't you wanna know how it ends?
329
00:17:11,405 --> 00:17:13,449
House & Garden
wants to shoot my apartment
330
00:17:13,533 --> 00:17:15,326
and I told Trey,
and he doesn't even care.
331
00:17:15,409 --> 00:17:17,620
We turned off porn
to talk about a magazine?
332
00:17:17,703 --> 00:17:18,871
Biscotti, please.
333
00:17:19,705 --> 00:17:21,457
He never cares about what I want.
334
00:17:22,041 --> 00:17:24,794
Anthony is more excited about it
than Trey is.
335
00:17:24,877 --> 00:17:27,755
That's because gay men
understand what's important.
336
00:17:27,838 --> 00:17:30,174
-Clothes, compliments, and cocks.
-And clubs.
337
00:17:30,758 --> 00:17:33,010
Oliver's taking me to Bungalow 8
tomorrow night.
338
00:17:33,094 --> 00:17:34,971
- Ooh!
- Mmm!
339
00:17:35,054 --> 00:17:37,139
Sounds like you're cheating on Aidan
with a gay man.
340
00:17:37,223 --> 00:17:38,307
Oh, no, that's allowed.
341
00:17:38,391 --> 00:17:40,893
Gay boyfriends
are the loophole of monogamy.
342
00:17:40,977 --> 00:17:43,854
My gay boyfriend outed me at work,
then I outed him.
343
00:17:43,938 --> 00:17:46,482
Even my gay relationships
are dysfunctional.
344
00:17:46,566 --> 00:17:47,817
Here's the problem.
345
00:17:47,900 --> 00:17:50,361
Aidan loves to stay in,
and I love to go out.
346
00:17:50,444 --> 00:17:51,946
And he's fine with that.
347
00:17:52,029 --> 00:17:56,325
It's either the greatest
relationship ever, or we're headed--
348
00:17:56,409 --> 00:17:58,160
For separate bedrooms, like me.
349
00:17:59,453 --> 00:18:01,664
We're in completely different places.
350
00:18:02,206 --> 00:18:03,874
And Trey's content with what we have.
351
00:18:03,958 --> 00:18:07,420
Therefore, I am a bad person
for needing to have a baby.
352
00:18:07,503 --> 00:18:10,256
You're not a bad person,
you're a person with needs.
353
00:18:10,590 --> 00:18:12,925
It's making me depressed.
Let's just watch that movie.
354
00:18:13,009 --> 00:18:14,093
Thought you'd never ask.
355
00:18:15,011 --> 00:18:16,345
Mmm. Give me some of that.
356
00:18:16,429 --> 00:18:18,639
- Oh, my God.
357
00:18:20,766 --> 00:18:21,726
The next morning,
358
00:18:21,809 --> 00:18:25,646
Samantha and Richard were taking care
of business, but not each other.
359
00:18:25,730 --> 00:18:29,108
I'm not doing any more charity crap
if we can't get publicity.
360
00:18:29,609 --> 00:18:32,028
Steve Martin was there
and he's the fucking toast of New York.
361
00:18:32,111 --> 00:18:33,904
He's the toast of The New Yorker.
There's a difference.
362
00:18:36,991 --> 00:18:39,243
Are we gonna talk about this?
363
00:18:39,327 --> 00:18:40,411
About what?
364
00:18:40,953 --> 00:18:43,581
That thing I said the other night.
365
00:18:47,209 --> 00:18:50,504
Samantha, you were high on X.
366
00:18:51,464 --> 00:18:52,757
Believe me, I've been there.
367
00:18:53,549 --> 00:18:55,635
Oh. Good.
368
00:18:57,094 --> 00:18:57,928
Okay, then.
369
00:18:59,138 --> 00:19:02,475
Once Richard made it clear
that her "I love you" didn't matter,
370
00:19:02,558 --> 00:19:05,436
Samantha realized
she was secretly wishing it did.
371
00:19:05,936 --> 00:19:08,105
-So you'll yell at The Times?
-I already did.
372
00:19:09,148 --> 00:19:10,816
-Did you need something else?
-No.
373
00:19:13,569 --> 00:19:14,737
She wanted to tell him that
374
00:19:14,820 --> 00:19:16,822
it wasn't just the drug talking
that night.
375
00:19:16,906 --> 00:19:19,241
But she put her real feelings
on the shelf.
376
00:19:19,325 --> 00:19:21,410
Fuck you at my place
around eight o'clock?
377
00:19:22,161 --> 00:19:23,162
Sounds good.
378
00:19:27,041 --> 00:19:30,419
And since it was Casual Friday,
Miranda and Max decided
379
00:19:30,503 --> 00:19:32,922
to come out of the closet
with their casual clothes.
380
00:19:33,005 --> 00:19:34,924
Miranda shelved her work concerns
381
00:19:35,007 --> 00:19:37,927
and showed up
as a proud, single mother-to-be.
382
00:19:38,010 --> 00:19:41,389
And Max showed up as a proud gay man
with a sense of style.
383
00:19:41,472 --> 00:19:45,017
But when Stern, Hawkins, and Erickson
saw Max's sense of style,
384
00:19:45,101 --> 00:19:47,103
that was the end of Casual Friday.
385
00:19:54,694 --> 00:19:55,528
Pretty.
386
00:19:56,237 --> 00:19:57,905
They're for the photo shoot tomorrow.
387
00:19:58,698 --> 00:19:59,699
Ah.
388
00:20:01,242 --> 00:20:02,284
They're coming at 10:00.
389
00:20:02,368 --> 00:20:04,412
So would you please move your stuff
out of the guest room?
390
00:20:05,329 --> 00:20:08,207
-Are they photographing the guest room?
-I don't know.
391
00:20:08,290 --> 00:20:10,918
But it doesn't look very good
with us sleeping in separate bedrooms.
392
00:20:12,086 --> 00:20:14,380
No. No, it doesn't, does it?
393
00:20:15,297 --> 00:20:17,508
They want us to dress nicely,
but not too formal.
394
00:20:19,593 --> 00:20:21,387
-I'm in the picture?
-Mmm-hmm.
395
00:20:22,012 --> 00:20:23,514
They want to photograph both of us.
396
00:20:24,515 --> 00:20:25,349
Why?
397
00:20:26,684 --> 00:20:28,352
Because they think
we're the perfect couple.
398
00:20:33,190 --> 00:20:34,191
I know.
399
00:20:36,610 --> 00:20:39,363
But I promised, and they're coming.
400
00:20:42,324 --> 00:20:43,325
I don't wanna do this.
401
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:46,412
It's just one picture,
402
00:20:47,121 --> 00:20:48,205
and it's important to me.
403
00:20:48,289 --> 00:20:50,458
No, this. I don't wanna do this anymore.
404
00:20:52,501 --> 00:20:54,211
You are so angry at me.
405
00:20:57,298 --> 00:20:58,299
I'm sorry.
406
00:21:02,595 --> 00:21:03,804
I want a baby.
407
00:21:05,306 --> 00:21:06,932
I thought that's what you wanted too.
408
00:21:08,309 --> 00:21:09,310
So did I.
409
00:21:11,395 --> 00:21:13,189
I don't think
I should have to give that up.
410
00:21:15,232 --> 00:21:16,233
You shouldn't.
411
00:21:18,402 --> 00:21:19,403
You can have the apartment.
412
00:21:20,863 --> 00:21:22,198
I'll move back in with Mother.
413
00:21:28,704 --> 00:21:29,538
Okay.
414
00:21:33,375 --> 00:21:35,127
Charlotte and Trey's
separate interests
415
00:21:35,211 --> 00:21:36,921
had become more than separate bedrooms.
416
00:21:38,130 --> 00:21:40,424
They'd become a real separation.
417
00:21:43,010 --> 00:21:46,263
Meanwhile, I tried to find a way
for my single self
418
00:21:46,347 --> 00:21:48,432
and my couple self to coexist.
419
00:21:50,935 --> 00:21:52,394
- There you go.
420
00:21:52,853 --> 00:21:54,438
-Hey.
-Hey.
421
00:21:54,939 --> 00:21:55,940
Yowzah!
422
00:21:57,066 --> 00:21:58,359
Where you going
all dressed up like that?
423
00:21:58,442 --> 00:22:00,110
I told you yesterday I was going out.
424
00:22:00,194 --> 00:22:01,946
You didn't say you were going all out.
425
00:22:02,029 --> 00:22:03,572
I have to see Bungalow 8.
426
00:22:03,656 --> 00:22:04,824
Oh, yeah? What's that, a play?
427
00:22:04,907 --> 00:22:07,284
No, it's a very hot club.
428
00:22:07,368 --> 00:22:09,703
It's important
that I know about these things.
429
00:22:09,787 --> 00:22:12,832
Some people consider my column
the New York survival guide.
430
00:22:13,207 --> 00:22:15,668
-What's going on here?
-It's just...
431
00:22:17,253 --> 00:22:18,462
something I'm trying.
432
00:22:19,421 --> 00:22:22,091
-It's closer to my heart this way.
-Aw.
433
00:22:25,302 --> 00:22:26,345
Who you going out with, the girls?
434
00:22:27,805 --> 00:22:30,140
Oh, this guy, Oliver Spencer.
435
00:22:30,224 --> 00:22:32,142
-A guy?
-He's gay.
436
00:22:32,226 --> 00:22:33,686
Oh. Whew. Cool.
437
00:22:34,353 --> 00:22:37,523
-Listen, I am done for the night.
438
00:22:37,606 --> 00:22:40,192
So, you want me to jump in the shower,
come with?
439
00:22:40,276 --> 00:22:42,361
Oh. I don't know.
440
00:22:42,444 --> 00:22:44,989
I don't know if he can get us both in.
441
00:22:45,072 --> 00:22:46,156
What do you mean?
We can get in anywhere.
442
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:47,700
No, you need a key or something.
443
00:22:47,783 --> 00:22:50,369
A key? Give me a fucking break.
444
00:22:50,452 --> 00:22:54,164
See, that kind of attitude
is not appreciated at Bungalow 8.
445
00:22:54,248 --> 00:22:57,251
Come on, Carrie, a key?
Why do you even buy into that shit?
446
00:22:57,334 --> 00:22:59,587
Let's just go out to dinner.
I haven't seen you all week.
447
00:23:00,045 --> 00:23:01,046
I can't.
448
00:23:02,131 --> 00:23:03,007
I told Oliver--
449
00:23:03,090 --> 00:23:05,426
All right, all right, all right.
450
00:23:05,509 --> 00:23:06,635
Hey, don't forget your key
451
00:23:06,719 --> 00:23:10,389
because we're very exclusive here,
and we might not let you back in.
452
00:23:12,433 --> 00:23:15,728
See, now I feel bad.
I basically discouraged him from coming.
453
00:23:15,811 --> 00:23:19,565
-Call and have him join us.
-Oh, this is so not his scene.
454
00:23:19,648 --> 00:23:22,318
Then you have to break it off.
This is Bungalow 8, darling.
455
00:23:22,401 --> 00:23:23,235
Oh, you're right,
456
00:23:23,319 --> 00:23:25,487
what's a relationship compared to
a night with trendy strangers?
457
00:23:26,196 --> 00:23:27,990
-Oliver Spencer and date.
-Here you go. Sure thing.
458
00:23:29,283 --> 00:23:30,910
-I'm your date?
-Mmm-hmm.
459
00:23:44,340 --> 00:23:46,091
Turns out there's one problem
460
00:23:46,175 --> 00:23:48,510
with having a handsome gay man
as your date.
461
00:23:48,594 --> 00:23:50,054
Other handsome gay men.
462
00:23:50,137 --> 00:23:52,806
You know, I just love those
new Prada open-toed sandals.
463
00:23:52,890 --> 00:23:54,850
-I think I can get you a pair of those.
-Really?
464
00:23:54,934 --> 00:23:56,560
-What size?
-Eleven.
465
00:23:57,978 --> 00:23:59,897
So, Ollie? Ollie?
466
00:23:59,980 --> 00:24:04,193
Is there anything to eat at Bungalow 8,
or is food so very last year?
467
00:24:05,819 --> 00:24:08,739
Okay, it seems that you're in the middle
of a spa session, so...
468
00:24:09,615 --> 00:24:10,741
Wait, you're going?
469
00:24:11,909 --> 00:24:16,413
You know, I left a gorgeous man at home
to come here and be your date.
470
00:24:16,497 --> 00:24:18,999
And I'm guessing Size 11 did as well.
471
00:24:19,083 --> 00:24:22,461
So, I'm just not really sure
why I'm here.
472
00:24:22,544 --> 00:24:24,129
Because you're fantastic.
473
00:24:24,213 --> 00:24:26,298
And I'm sorry I was neglecting you.
474
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:28,801
I'm very bad.
475
00:24:30,552 --> 00:24:31,553
Kiss and make up?
476
00:24:36,141 --> 00:24:38,936
Well, if it isn't
Mr. and Mrs. Down Under.
477
00:24:39,019 --> 00:24:41,480
I've been so preoccupied
with my gay boyfriend,
478
00:24:41,563 --> 00:24:43,273
I kept forgetting about my gay husband.
479
00:24:43,357 --> 00:24:45,943
-You remember Stanford, from brunch?
-Mmm-hmm.
480
00:24:46,026 --> 00:24:48,362
Apparently, it was
more than just brunch.
481
00:24:48,445 --> 00:24:51,031
Carrie, don't fall for him.
He's just another pretty face.
482
00:24:51,115 --> 00:24:52,950
He doesn't love you like I love you.
483
00:24:53,033 --> 00:24:55,911
I knew this woman when she took
the subway, and wore Candie's.
484
00:24:55,995 --> 00:24:59,123
-Candie's?
-I assure you, I never wore Candie's.
485
00:24:59,206 --> 00:25:02,710
You wore pink suede Candie's,
and I adored you anyway.
486
00:25:02,793 --> 00:25:04,837
And how dare you try to steal her away
487
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,007
with your dreamy eyes
and your probably-fake accent?
488
00:25:08,090 --> 00:25:10,509
I'm sorry, I didn't realize
the lady was spoken for.
489
00:25:10,592 --> 00:25:12,553
-Well, she is.
-All right, then.
490
00:25:13,554 --> 00:25:14,388
Kiss and make up?
491
00:25:15,723 --> 00:25:16,807
And then I realized,
492
00:25:16,890 --> 00:25:21,061
my single-self life had a shelf life,
and it had just expired.
493
00:25:21,145 --> 00:25:23,355
-Okay, I'm going.
-Okay.
494
00:25:23,439 --> 00:25:26,650
No, Carrie, stay. We only just got here.
495
00:25:29,111 --> 00:25:32,072
-Let me buy you another drink.
-No, it's fine, I just wanna go home.
496
00:25:32,489 --> 00:25:35,409
And the surprising thing was, I did.
497
00:25:39,538 --> 00:25:41,331
Honey, I'm home.
498
00:25:46,128 --> 00:25:48,589
-Hi.
-How was the Bungalow?
499
00:25:49,423 --> 00:25:50,424
Eh.
500
00:25:51,175 --> 00:25:52,468
I've seen better.
501
00:25:53,469 --> 00:25:56,764
Why do you own Jox and Cocks 4?
502
00:25:57,806 --> 00:25:59,808
More research for the survival guide?
503
00:26:00,684 --> 00:26:01,685
Really?
504
00:26:02,686 --> 00:26:03,687
What did you learn?
505
00:26:12,446 --> 00:26:14,823
Ooh. Oh, yeah.
506
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:16,408
Uh-huh.
507
00:26:16,950 --> 00:26:18,368
Give me some of that.
508
00:26:19,203 --> 00:26:22,039
-Mmm.
-A big thank-you to our gay friends.
509
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,002
That's the thing
about Manhattan.
510
00:26:27,086 --> 00:26:30,297
The most exclusive clubs
only have a couple members,
511
00:26:30,380 --> 00:26:32,257
and they're very hard to find.
512
00:26:33,050 --> 00:26:36,386
The next morning, House & Garden
came to Charlotte's house.
513
00:26:37,137 --> 00:26:40,057
It's fork, fork, knife, spoon.
What are these people, crazy?
514
00:26:40,140 --> 00:26:43,268
This is perfect.
Very Upper-East-Side breakfast for two.
515
00:26:43,352 --> 00:26:44,686
-I love this china.
-Me too.
516
00:26:45,145 --> 00:26:46,897
Thanks, it's our wedding china.
517
00:26:48,357 --> 00:26:50,943
Anthony, could I talk to you a minute?
518
00:26:52,861 --> 00:26:54,029
We'll be right back.
519
00:26:56,949 --> 00:26:59,326
-Is he cute or what?
-Mmm-hmm. Um...
520
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,412
-Trey and I...
-Splitting up, I knew it.
521
00:27:03,372 --> 00:27:06,083
Well, anyway, I don't think
he's gonna be in the picture.
522
00:27:06,166 --> 00:27:07,251
So should we just cancel?
523
00:27:07,334 --> 00:27:09,253
Cancel? Hello? H & G. House & Garden.
524
00:27:09,336 --> 00:27:10,587
Do it without him.
525
00:27:10,671 --> 00:27:13,757
-Won't that look bad, just me?
-It'll look beautiful.
526
00:27:13,841 --> 00:27:15,092
He may be the heart surgeon,
527
00:27:15,175 --> 00:27:16,802
but, honey, you're the heart
of this whole operation.
528
00:27:17,511 --> 00:27:20,472
Honestly, you're the best catch ever.
Look what you did to this place.
529
00:27:21,265 --> 00:27:23,142
You could take any guy off the street,
530
00:27:23,225 --> 00:27:25,269
fix him up
and make him into something wonderful.
531
00:27:26,019 --> 00:27:28,981
Not for nothing, but you deserve more
than that stick-up-his-ass preppy,
532
00:27:29,064 --> 00:27:30,065
that's all I'm saying.
533
00:27:30,566 --> 00:27:31,984
Now get in here and have breakfast.
534
00:27:34,736 --> 00:27:36,822
Gordon, it's just gonna be--
535
00:27:36,905 --> 00:27:39,283
All righty. We ready for the picture?
536
00:27:40,450 --> 00:27:41,451
One minute.
537
00:27:46,540 --> 00:27:48,208
-Trey, you don't have to--
-No.
538
00:27:49,168 --> 00:27:50,460
This is important to you.
539
00:27:51,295 --> 00:27:52,880
I at least want to do this.
540
00:27:53,839 --> 00:27:56,383
Handsome husband,
beautiful wife.
541
00:27:57,718 --> 00:27:59,636
Having breakfast.
542
00:28:03,348 --> 00:28:04,183
Smile.
543
00:28:04,766 --> 00:28:08,020
Trey had moved out by the time
the magazine was on the stands.
544
00:28:08,103 --> 00:28:12,065
But all over America,
little girls in their mothers' pearls
545
00:28:12,149 --> 00:28:15,444
saw the picture and thought,
"That's what I want."
546
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,035
That's the thing about relationships.
547
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,788
Sometimes they look prettier
from the outside.
548
00:28:33,128 --> 00:28:37,341
And what's inside
can be different than it seems.
