1
00:00:48,882 --> 00:00:51,009
Life is all about
making choices.
2
00:00:51,260 --> 00:00:53,595
Some choices,
like who you marry, are big.
3
00:00:53,762 --> 00:00:55,722
While others are even bigger.
4
00:00:55,889 --> 00:00:57,516
Hey, what do you think?
5
00:00:57,766 --> 00:01:01,186
The $5 ones that last three days,
or the $10 ones that last five days?
6
00:01:01,478 --> 00:01:02,354
Either one.
7
00:01:03,689 --> 00:01:04,523
Three days.
8
00:01:05,857 --> 00:01:06,692
$5.
9
00:01:07,317 --> 00:01:10,028
Another choice is how
to deal with an ex-boyfriend.
10
00:01:10,237 --> 00:01:13,532
Some women handle it
coolly, calmly, while others...
11
00:01:13,657 --> 00:01:14,491
Fuck!
12
00:01:15,450 --> 00:01:16,285
Steve.
13
00:01:17,911 --> 00:01:19,162
Go! Go!
14
00:01:19,538 --> 00:01:22,874
-Hey! $5! You pay! Come back here!
15
00:01:31,883 --> 00:01:33,343
He just looked so hurt.
16
00:01:33,427 --> 00:01:35,762
Like a kid in one of those
big-eyed velvet paintings.
17
00:01:35,846 --> 00:01:37,431
Aw! Poor Steve.
18
00:01:37,514 --> 00:01:39,266
Well, I'm sorry, I panicked.
19
00:01:39,349 --> 00:01:41,518
What was I gonna do, stand around
and chit-chat about the weather?
20
00:01:41,602 --> 00:01:43,437
The man's been inside me,
for God's sake.
21
00:01:43,645 --> 00:01:44,980
Could I get some more Sweet 'N Low?
22
00:01:45,063 --> 00:01:47,649
I've never been able to be friends
with an ex-boyfriend.
23
00:01:47,733 --> 00:01:51,320
I meet those couples who stay friends
and I think, "How? How do they do that?"
24
00:01:51,403 --> 00:01:53,488
I've never been able
to be friends with any man.
25
00:01:53,572 --> 00:01:56,199
Why would I? Women are for friendships,
men are for fucking.
26
00:01:56,283 --> 00:01:58,118
Honey, you have got to learn
to form an opinion.
27
00:01:58,201 --> 00:02:00,120
Friendship is the bonus
of a relationship.
28
00:02:00,203 --> 00:02:02,539
If they don't want the relationship,
they don't get me as a friend.
29
00:02:02,623 --> 00:02:04,041
So what,
if you don't make it as a couple,
30
00:02:04,124 --> 00:02:05,959
you withhold your friendship
as a punishment?
31
00:02:06,084 --> 00:02:07,836
Well, you make it sound so bad.
32
00:02:07,919 --> 00:02:09,755
Black widow spiders bite
the heads off of their mates
33
00:02:09,838 --> 00:02:11,006
when they are through with them.
34
00:02:11,089 --> 00:02:13,550
I think withholding friendship
is letting them off easy.
35
00:02:13,634 --> 00:02:14,718
Hey, can you imagine you guys,
36
00:02:14,801 --> 00:02:16,720
instead of the whole awful
breaking up scene, you're just like,
37
00:02:16,803 --> 00:02:18,347
-"Hey, you. Come here" and you just...
38
00:02:18,430 --> 00:02:19,973
...chomp their head off.
39
00:02:20,057 --> 00:02:23,560
Believe me, I would love to be
one of those people who's all,
40
00:02:23,769 --> 00:02:27,731
"We loved, thank you.
You enriched my life. Now, go, prosper."
41
00:02:27,814 --> 00:02:31,401
But I'm much more, "We didn't work out,
you need to not exist."
42
00:02:33,236 --> 00:02:34,071
What?
43
00:02:34,237 --> 00:02:36,573
It's just-- It's just so childish.
44
00:02:36,657 --> 00:02:38,867
Not you, the whole situation.
45
00:02:39,534 --> 00:02:40,369
I mean...
46
00:02:40,535 --> 00:02:44,081
We keep dresses we'll never wear again
when we throw away our ex-boyfriends.
47
00:02:45,832 --> 00:02:48,085
I'm not saying that I'm any better.
48
00:02:48,168 --> 00:02:51,088
I mean, I'm not-- You know, I haven't
been able to be friends with Big, but...
49
00:02:52,172 --> 00:02:54,549
If you loved someone and you break up...
50
00:02:55,133 --> 00:02:56,301
where does the love go?
51
00:02:57,177 --> 00:02:58,804
To their next girlfriend.
52
00:02:59,012 --> 00:03:01,848
Oh, no, no, no.
No, that is a different love.
53
00:03:01,932 --> 00:03:04,559
There is no way
that the love I had with Big
54
00:03:04,643 --> 00:03:06,478
is the same thing that
he has with Natasha.
55
00:03:06,561 --> 00:03:10,816
Natasha? When'd you stop calling her
the Idiot Stick Figure With No Soul?
56
00:03:10,899 --> 00:03:13,402
About three weeks ago
when I saw them at Cafe M.
57
00:03:14,152 --> 00:03:17,239
He was holding her hand
and smiling and...
58
00:03:18,990 --> 00:03:19,950
I finally got it.
59
00:03:20,826 --> 00:03:23,662
They're happy, slash, we're over.
60
00:03:24,996 --> 00:03:25,956
And it was okay.
61
00:03:30,001 --> 00:03:32,254
-Natasha, what a bullshit name.
-Totally.
62
00:03:32,337 --> 00:03:34,172
-Stupid.
-Yeah, it's complete bullshit.
63
00:03:35,048 --> 00:03:38,051
Later that night,
I got to thinking about the ex-factor.
64
00:03:38,468 --> 00:03:41,638
In mathematics, we learned
that "x" stands for the unknown.
65
00:03:42,013 --> 00:03:43,932
"A" plus "by" equals "x."
66
00:03:44,516 --> 00:03:46,184
But what's really unknown is,
67
00:03:46,268 --> 00:03:49,354
what plus what equals
friendship with an ex?
68
00:03:49,688 --> 00:03:51,898
Is this an unsolvable equation?
69
00:03:52,232 --> 00:03:55,652
Or is it possible to transform
a once-passionate love...
70
00:03:55,736 --> 00:03:59,281
into something that fits nice
and easily onto the friendship shelf?
71
00:03:59,906 --> 00:04:01,199
I couldn't help but wonder...
72
00:04:02,242 --> 00:04:04,077
can you be friends with an ex?
73
00:04:04,870 --> 00:04:06,204
That Sunday afternoon,
74
00:04:06,288 --> 00:04:09,624
Miranda was sitting at home, enjoying
a biscotti and the paper when...
75
00:04:14,921 --> 00:04:15,756
There it was...
76
00:04:16,047 --> 00:04:17,382
her ex's head.
77
00:04:19,301 --> 00:04:20,552
I hear you breathing.
78
00:04:24,598 --> 00:04:26,558
Yeah. Hi!
79
00:04:26,933 --> 00:04:30,270
That was a shitty, shitty thing you did,
running away from me on the street.
80
00:04:30,812 --> 00:04:32,022
I didn't run.
81
00:04:32,564 --> 00:04:33,398
You ran.
82
00:04:33,940 --> 00:04:36,985
Well, I wasn't expecting
to see you and-- I'm--
83
00:04:37,068 --> 00:04:38,820
It really hurt my feelings.
84
00:04:40,906 --> 00:04:44,367
Well, I don't do very well
with ex-boyfriends and...
85
00:04:44,826 --> 00:04:45,702
Miranda...
86
00:04:46,328 --> 00:04:47,162
This is me.
87
00:04:48,413 --> 00:04:49,247
Steve.
88
00:04:54,586 --> 00:04:55,420
Yeah.
89
00:04:56,421 --> 00:04:58,632
I held your head while
you were sleeping.
90
00:05:04,638 --> 00:05:05,722
I'm sorry.
91
00:05:06,473 --> 00:05:10,143
-I'm so sorry. I just...
-It's okay. It's okay.
92
00:05:10,227 --> 00:05:13,522
I hadn't seen you in so long
and I missed you...
93
00:05:13,897 --> 00:05:15,649
And then
I did that shitty thing.
94
00:05:16,149 --> 00:05:18,109
-It wasn't that shitty, really.
-It was.
95
00:05:18,193 --> 00:05:20,612
It was a shitty thing.
I'm a shitty person.
96
00:05:20,695 --> 00:05:23,073
-You are not a shitty person.
-I am! I am shitty!
97
00:05:23,406 --> 00:05:25,367
You would never do anything that shitty.
98
00:05:25,450 --> 00:05:27,869
What do you call showing up at your
apartment in the middle of the afternoon
99
00:05:27,953 --> 00:05:28,870
and calling you shitty?
100
00:05:30,413 --> 00:05:31,957
Yeah, that was pretty shitty.
101
00:05:33,166 --> 00:05:35,544
You've got a bat in the cave.
102
00:05:41,216 --> 00:05:42,217
I miss you.
103
00:05:44,094 --> 00:05:47,848
Whenever something funny happens,
I always want to tell you about it.
104
00:05:48,348 --> 00:05:49,182
So tell me.
105
00:05:50,767 --> 00:05:52,394
Just 'cause we didn't make
it as a couple
106
00:05:52,477 --> 00:05:55,397
doesn't mean we can't have a friendly
meal once in a while, does it?
107
00:05:57,774 --> 00:05:58,900
I guess not.
108
00:05:59,943 --> 00:06:01,111
So, what are you doing Friday?
109
00:06:02,863 --> 00:06:04,030
I have a date.
110
00:06:05,740 --> 00:06:06,950
Looking forward to it, are you?
111
00:06:09,494 --> 00:06:12,581
As Miranda made plans
to have dinner with her last love...
112
00:06:14,499 --> 00:06:18,044
Charlotte came face to face
with the memory of her first.
113
00:06:19,504 --> 00:06:21,089
Her horse, Taddy.
114
00:06:22,632 --> 00:06:25,093
Charlotte's relationship
with Taddy ended sadly
115
00:06:25,176 --> 00:06:27,888
when he threw her during
a teen equestrian competition
116
00:06:28,305 --> 00:06:31,474
causing her to break her collarbone
and lose the blue ribbon.
117
00:06:33,018 --> 00:06:35,520
Her father promptly
sold Taddy to another family
118
00:06:35,604 --> 00:06:36,980
and she hadn't been on a horse since.
119
00:06:41,735 --> 00:06:45,322
Charlotte wondered if maybe it was time
to get back in the saddle again.
120
00:06:46,865 --> 00:06:48,283
Meanwhile, across town,
121
00:06:48,700 --> 00:06:51,620
Samantha was about to see
a stallion of her own.
122
00:07:14,351 --> 00:07:15,185
Hi.
123
00:07:15,810 --> 00:07:17,604
I gotta tell you, you look amazing.
124
00:07:17,896 --> 00:07:19,606
Excuse me, but do I know you?
125
00:07:19,773 --> 00:07:21,274
No. Not yet.
126
00:07:21,358 --> 00:07:24,486
But I was thinking maybe you'd
like to have dinner with me sometime.
127
00:07:24,861 --> 00:07:26,613
And what makes you think I'd like that?
128
00:07:27,530 --> 00:07:29,115
From the way you were
just checking me out.
129
00:07:31,785 --> 00:07:34,162
Well, you get ten points for directness.
130
00:07:34,412 --> 00:07:35,705
Do I also get your phone number?
131
00:07:36,623 --> 00:07:37,666
I'm not sure yet.
132
00:07:39,793 --> 00:07:40,627
I'll tell you what...
133
00:07:42,295 --> 00:07:43,755
Here's my business card.
134
00:07:44,547 --> 00:07:45,382
You call me.
135
00:07:46,341 --> 00:07:48,385
Blatantly picking a woman
up on the street.
136
00:07:49,260 --> 00:07:50,971
How'd you get to be so cocky?
137
00:07:51,262 --> 00:07:52,806
I was born that way, I guess.
138
00:07:54,265 --> 00:07:57,102
At least consider meeting
me for a friendly little drink.
139
00:07:58,353 --> 00:08:01,564
I'll think about it, Mr. Cocky.
140
00:08:03,525 --> 00:08:04,359
Please do.
141
00:08:14,452 --> 00:08:15,495
It was later that week,
142
00:08:15,578 --> 00:08:18,873
when I spotted a Laura Ashley
dress, circa 1988
143
00:08:18,957 --> 00:08:20,500
still hanging in my closet,
144
00:08:20,917 --> 00:08:25,046
that I decided it was time
to give my ex a friendly phone call.
145
00:08:31,136 --> 00:08:31,970
Hello?
146
00:08:33,138 --> 00:08:36,766
I hadn't planned on the Idiot
Stick Figure With No Soul answering.
147
00:08:38,143 --> 00:08:40,729
Then, I remembered Big had caller ID.
148
00:08:41,354 --> 00:08:42,188
Shit!
149
00:08:52,449 --> 00:08:53,283
Hello?
150
00:08:53,450 --> 00:08:54,743
Well, hello yourself.
151
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:55,994
Hey.
152
00:08:56,411 --> 00:08:57,245
Hello.
153
00:08:57,620 --> 00:08:59,998
-Did you just call?
-No. Well--
154
00:09:00,165 --> 00:09:02,709
Yes, but I didn't get to talk because...
155
00:09:03,209 --> 00:09:04,753
I hit the...
156
00:09:04,836 --> 00:09:06,629
I accidentally hit the thing...
157
00:09:06,963 --> 00:09:09,382
thing, so, you know, it hung up.
158
00:09:11,134 --> 00:09:12,010
Well, so, yes.
159
00:09:12,969 --> 00:09:14,763
And I...
160
00:09:14,846 --> 00:09:18,308
I heard Natasha, so, apologize to her.
161
00:09:20,310 --> 00:09:21,478
So, how is Natasha?
162
00:09:24,981 --> 00:09:26,024
Great.
163
00:09:26,775 --> 00:09:27,650
She's great.
164
00:09:29,986 --> 00:09:30,820
How are you?
165
00:09:31,863 --> 00:09:33,615
I'm A-Okay.
166
00:09:34,866 --> 00:09:35,950
You sound a little nuts.
167
00:09:37,535 --> 00:09:39,621
Come on, can't you let one go by?
168
00:09:40,497 --> 00:09:41,706
This is weird.
169
00:09:42,165 --> 00:09:43,124
The first call.
170
00:09:43,500 --> 00:09:44,334
Right.
171
00:09:44,876 --> 00:09:46,503
Maybe I'd... I'd... I'd...
172
00:09:46,586 --> 00:09:49,839
do better if I went with
my little prepared speech.
173
00:09:49,964 --> 00:09:51,382
Oh, you have a speech, do you?
174
00:09:51,549 --> 00:09:52,383
Okay.
175
00:09:53,676 --> 00:09:57,097
I was wondering what you thought of...
176
00:09:57,722 --> 00:10:00,809
instead of pretending
each other doesn't exist...
177
00:10:01,518 --> 00:10:03,603
we try to be friends or something?
178
00:10:07,023 --> 00:10:08,024
Well, I'd like that.
179
00:10:09,859 --> 00:10:13,571
I've been meaning to call, but I didn't
know if you wanted to hear from me so--
180
00:10:13,696 --> 00:10:15,365
Do you want to have
a lunch or something?
181
00:10:15,448 --> 00:10:16,282
Let's have a lunch.
182
00:10:21,830 --> 00:10:22,664
Thank you.
183
00:10:23,289 --> 00:10:24,290
-Hi.
-Hi.
184
00:10:24,374 --> 00:10:26,668
I have a one o'clock reservation.
Bradshaw.
185
00:10:26,793 --> 00:10:29,170
I used to make our lunch
reservations in Big's name.
186
00:10:29,462 --> 00:10:32,715
But today, I put it in mine,
because that's what friends do.
187
00:10:33,258 --> 00:10:34,551
The other party is already here.
188
00:10:35,885 --> 00:10:36,719
Thank you.
189
00:10:37,178 --> 00:10:38,012
Hey.
190
00:10:41,015 --> 00:10:42,142
-Hey.
-Hey.
191
00:10:46,771 --> 00:10:48,273
Are you hungry? Because I'm hungry.
192
00:10:48,731 --> 00:10:51,776
I got up at 6:00, worked out,
hardly had any breakfast.
193
00:10:53,236 --> 00:10:54,612
They have a great Cobb salad here.
194
00:10:55,613 --> 00:10:56,990
So what do you say? Shall we eat?
195
00:10:57,448 --> 00:10:58,658
-Let's eat.
-We'll eat.
196
00:10:58,741 --> 00:11:01,578
And that's when I realized it.
Big was nervous.
197
00:11:01,786 --> 00:11:05,498
It was odd. The new "friend" part
of me felt incredibly compassionate,
198
00:11:05,623 --> 00:11:09,002
while the old "girlfriend" part of me
felt incredibly smug.
199
00:11:09,085 --> 00:11:11,629
-Oh! You okay?
-Yeah. Fine.
200
00:11:15,341 --> 00:11:16,176
Thank you.
201
00:11:17,844 --> 00:11:18,678
Thank you.
202
00:11:21,973 --> 00:11:23,141
Well, you look good.
203
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:24,934
Thank you, so do you.
204
00:11:25,476 --> 00:11:26,311
Good afternoon.
205
00:11:26,978 --> 00:11:27,812
Thank you.
206
00:11:28,396 --> 00:11:30,148
The Cobb salad is very good here.
207
00:11:30,732 --> 00:11:31,983
Can I get you something to drink?
208
00:11:33,151 --> 00:11:33,985
Iced tea.
209
00:11:34,861 --> 00:11:35,820
A mineral water.
210
00:11:38,489 --> 00:11:40,658
-Scotch.
-Cosmopolitan.
211
00:11:43,995 --> 00:11:47,832
An hour later, I had solved
the unsolvable friendship equation.
212
00:11:48,333 --> 00:11:49,959
It seems the answer is this,
213
00:11:50,460 --> 00:11:54,172
Cosmopolitans plus scotch
equals friendship with an ex.
214
00:11:54,297 --> 00:11:55,798
-God!
215
00:11:56,758 --> 00:11:58,593
And what about your music?
216
00:11:59,177 --> 00:12:03,014
If I had to listen to freakin'
Blood, Sweat & Tears one more time...
217
00:12:03,097 --> 00:12:03,932
Hey.
218
00:12:04,015 --> 00:12:07,060
-Blood, Sweat & Tears is great stuff.
-Ten minutes after we're awake?
219
00:12:10,730 --> 00:12:11,606
Okay.
220
00:12:14,234 --> 00:12:15,276
Tell me about the girl.
221
00:12:18,821 --> 00:12:20,323
-Really?
-Yeah.
222
00:12:20,406 --> 00:12:21,908
Friends talk about their relationships.
223
00:12:21,991 --> 00:12:25,662
So, go ahead, friend,
tell me about the girl.
224
00:12:28,581 --> 00:12:29,457
Well...
225
00:12:31,834 --> 00:12:34,003
-She's very sweet--
-Okay, enough!
226
00:12:34,545 --> 00:12:36,422
Don't tell me about the girl. No can do.
227
00:12:37,882 --> 00:12:39,217
Maybe we should make a pact.
228
00:12:39,717 --> 00:12:41,636
We don't talk about our relationships
229
00:12:41,719 --> 00:12:43,680
until they get really
serious or something.
230
00:12:44,013 --> 00:12:44,847
Okay?
231
00:12:49,102 --> 00:12:49,936
Carrie...
232
00:12:52,730 --> 00:12:54,023
It is serious.
233
00:12:58,987 --> 00:12:59,821
We're engaged.
234
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:03,908
I wanted you to hear it from me.
235
00:13:04,951 --> 00:13:05,785
Oh!
236
00:13:06,911 --> 00:13:09,414
-I just got a splitting headache.
-Well--
237
00:13:10,248 --> 00:13:12,041
I didn't know how to tell you...
238
00:13:13,918 --> 00:13:15,670
-And when you called for lunch--
-Engaged?
239
00:13:17,088 --> 00:13:20,842
How can you be engaged? You have
a problem with commitment, remember?
240
00:13:21,843 --> 00:13:26,389
In fact, you told me you never wanted
to get married again, ever.
241
00:13:27,849 --> 00:13:28,933
Well, things change.
242
00:13:29,017 --> 00:13:30,893
Meaning what?
You just didn't want to marry me.
243
00:13:30,977 --> 00:13:33,146
-Look, Natasha and I--
-Don't say her name to me!
244
00:13:33,229 --> 00:13:35,565
Don't you dare say her name to me!
245
00:13:35,815 --> 00:13:38,693
You string me along for two years
246
00:13:38,776 --> 00:13:42,864
and then you marry some
25-year-old girl after only five months?
247
00:13:42,947 --> 00:13:44,907
-I did not string you along.
-Okay, yeah right. Fine.
248
00:13:44,991 --> 00:13:46,492
That's right,
you didn't string me along.
249
00:13:46,617 --> 00:13:48,911
You know what?
I have to go. I have a headache.
250
00:13:50,121 --> 00:13:51,497
-Are you okay?
-Yeah. I'm fine.
251
00:13:51,581 --> 00:13:55,043
-Here.
-Don't help me! Don't you help me!
252
00:13:56,919 --> 00:13:58,338
Carrie, hold on, wait a minute.
253
00:13:58,588 --> 00:14:00,381
What? What? What is it?
254
00:14:00,882 --> 00:14:01,799
Don't end it like this--
255
00:14:01,883 --> 00:14:04,802
No, you're the one that ended it
like this. I was trying to be friendly.
256
00:14:04,927 --> 00:14:08,139
So, you know what? This seems like
a much better way to end things.
257
00:14:08,222 --> 00:14:10,516
So, go. Go.
Be engaged, get married to...
258
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,270
Nijinsky or whatever her name is.
Have a nice life.
259
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:15,855
Don't worry about me, I'm fine.
260
00:14:18,733 --> 00:14:20,234
These steps are very dangerous.
261
00:14:27,367 --> 00:14:28,868
The next day,
I had promised to hold
262
00:14:28,951 --> 00:14:31,037
Charlotte's hand while
she attempted to go riding.
263
00:14:31,537 --> 00:14:33,831
Turned out,
she needed to hold mine as well.
264
00:14:34,332 --> 00:14:35,333
How are you doing?
265
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,920
Aside for the fact that my ex
is engaged to a teenager
266
00:14:39,003 --> 00:14:43,800
and I've got horseshit
on my $300 goddamn shoes...
267
00:14:44,509 --> 00:14:45,385
I'm doing okay.
268
00:14:45,843 --> 00:14:47,303
Well, I think you're amazing.
269
00:14:47,428 --> 00:14:49,263
I would be in a hospital or something.
270
00:14:49,472 --> 00:14:51,474
-What the fuck is his problem?
271
00:14:52,308 --> 00:14:53,601
He's just got a stubborn streak.
272
00:14:54,936 --> 00:14:57,438
I mean some horses.
they never really like to be ridden.
273
00:14:57,563 --> 00:14:59,148
Taddy was like that
when I first got him,
274
00:14:59,232 --> 00:15:02,026
but then once they broke him in,
then he loved it.
275
00:15:02,485 --> 00:15:03,319
You know what?
276
00:15:03,611 --> 00:15:04,821
I broke in Big.
277
00:15:04,946 --> 00:15:07,365
I did, I broke him in
and now the Idiot Stick Figure
278
00:15:07,448 --> 00:15:08,866
With No Soul gets to ride him.
279
00:15:09,242 --> 00:15:10,284
Carrie, I'm...
280
00:15:11,744 --> 00:15:13,037
I'm really sorry.
281
00:15:13,579 --> 00:15:15,832
I know you are, sweetie. Thanks.
282
00:15:17,667 --> 00:15:19,794
Oh! Damn! Damn!
283
00:15:20,253 --> 00:15:21,504
You see, this is what happens.
284
00:15:21,963 --> 00:15:24,799
You try to be friendly with an ex
and you wind up knee-deep in shit!
285
00:15:28,469 --> 00:15:29,470
Perfect.
286
00:15:38,396 --> 00:15:39,730
-Here you go. This is Pal.
287
00:15:39,814 --> 00:15:40,648
He's a good boy.
288
00:15:40,815 --> 00:15:42,525
Oh and he's brown.
289
00:15:42,650 --> 00:15:45,778
Taddy was brown,
but he had white spots on his flank.
290
00:15:47,113 --> 00:15:50,283
Just stay till I'm on the horse,
then you can go, okay?
291
00:15:50,366 --> 00:15:53,369
Yeah, I'm here, it's all lovely.
Go have fun.
292
00:15:55,163 --> 00:15:56,164
Hey, Pal.
293
00:15:56,247 --> 00:15:58,166
Here you go. Foot in and up you go.
294
00:15:58,249 --> 00:16:00,251
As Charlotte
placed her boot in the stirrup,
295
00:16:00,501 --> 00:16:02,503
all her bad memories of Taddy,
296
00:16:02,587 --> 00:16:05,965
and broken bones
and lost ribbons flooded over her.
297
00:16:07,508 --> 00:16:08,342
No!
298
00:16:09,594 --> 00:16:10,678
Can't.
299
00:16:11,220 --> 00:16:13,848
-No, I can't. Let's go.
-You just paid.
300
00:16:13,931 --> 00:16:16,017
-I said, I can't!
- Hey, he's all saddled up.
301
00:16:19,645 --> 00:16:22,273
After a few
"get to know each other" phone calls,
302
00:16:22,398 --> 00:16:25,693
Samantha took up Mr. Cocky
on his offer of a friendly drink.
303
00:16:26,277 --> 00:16:28,529
Turns out, it was a very friendly drink.
304
00:16:30,323 --> 00:16:33,868
I want you to know,
that I never pick up guys on the street
305
00:16:33,951 --> 00:16:35,912
unless they're very cute.
306
00:16:36,037 --> 00:16:38,080
So, get over here, you cutie, you.
307
00:16:40,208 --> 00:16:42,210
You know,
before we go any further, I got--
308
00:16:42,460 --> 00:16:44,045
I gotta warn you about something.
309
00:16:45,296 --> 00:16:46,923
Warn me about what?
310
00:16:48,466 --> 00:16:49,800
I'm very well-endowed.
311
00:16:51,010 --> 00:16:52,929
Ting, ting, ting, jackpot.
312
00:16:53,346 --> 00:16:55,640
No, no, no, no. I'm serious. It's...
313
00:16:56,849 --> 00:16:57,683
It's huge.
314
00:16:58,518 --> 00:16:59,352
I mean...
315
00:17:00,853 --> 00:17:02,813
Most women, they just can't handle it.
316
00:17:03,606 --> 00:17:06,567
Well, I'm not most women.
317
00:17:07,235 --> 00:17:09,946
So, unzip and get over here.
318
00:17:14,367 --> 00:17:17,662
Samantha suddenly understood
what made Mr. Cocky so cocky.
319
00:17:26,837 --> 00:17:30,508
I'm telling you, Carrie, it was like
a wall of flesh coming at me.
320
00:17:30,591 --> 00:17:33,344
There's nothing is scarier
than a really big one coming at you.
321
00:17:33,511 --> 00:17:36,639
I didn't even wanna get my mouth
near it, I was afraid I'd get lockjaw.
322
00:17:37,056 --> 00:17:40,309
I mean, it was quite a shock.
His hands are relatively tiny.
323
00:17:40,393 --> 00:17:43,521
-Oh, don't tell me you believe that.
-Well, not anymore.
324
00:17:44,021 --> 00:17:47,441
I am really going to have to psych
myself up before I try it again.
325
00:17:47,608 --> 00:17:49,443
You're going to try it again? Why?
326
00:17:49,944 --> 00:17:51,612
Because it's there.
327
00:17:51,696 --> 00:17:53,281
Sweetie it's a penis, not Mount Everest.
328
00:17:53,364 --> 00:17:55,449
Well, let me tell you.
If it was Mount Everest,
329
00:17:55,533 --> 00:17:58,244
last night I could only
make it to Base Camp One.
330
00:17:58,327 --> 00:17:59,161
Wowza!
331
00:17:59,537 --> 00:18:02,832
You dated Mr. Big,
I'm dating Mr. Too Big.
332
00:18:03,541 --> 00:18:04,875
You know what? You're unbelievable.
333
00:18:05,042 --> 00:18:08,546
You broke up with James because
he was too small, this guy is too big.
334
00:18:09,046 --> 00:18:10,590
Who are you, Goldicocks?
335
00:18:10,923 --> 00:18:11,757
Yep.
336
00:18:12,216 --> 00:18:14,885
I'm looking for one that's just right.
337
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:17,805
That night,
after a friendly dinner,
338
00:18:18,014 --> 00:18:21,267
Steve and Miranda began to explore
their newfound friendship.
339
00:18:21,350 --> 00:18:23,978
You know, if you were a real friend,
you'd let me keep it.
340
00:18:24,061 --> 00:18:26,147
Sorry, that's one of the conditions
of a break-up.
341
00:18:26,230 --> 00:18:27,982
You gotta give me back
my fire department t-shirt.
342
00:18:28,065 --> 00:18:31,068
-It fits me perfectly.
-Boo-hoo! Tell it to the judge.
343
00:18:31,193 --> 00:18:32,528
-Please?
-Nope.
344
00:18:37,241 --> 00:18:38,868
So, thanks for coming out for dinner.
345
00:18:39,076 --> 00:18:41,287
Well, thanks for letting
me pay, finally.
346
00:18:41,370 --> 00:18:43,706
Hey, that's what friends do, isn't it?
347
00:18:45,416 --> 00:18:46,250
Well...
348
00:18:47,001 --> 00:18:47,835
Goodnight.
349
00:18:50,796 --> 00:18:53,341
Right. That's what friends do, isn't it?
350
00:18:56,761 --> 00:18:58,721
Hey, I got another question for you.
351
00:19:01,724 --> 00:19:02,642
Do friends kiss...
352
00:19:05,811 --> 00:19:06,646
here?
353
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:10,274
No.
354
00:19:10,941 --> 00:19:11,776
Oh!
355
00:19:14,403 --> 00:19:15,780
Do friends kiss here?
356
00:19:21,327 --> 00:19:22,161
No.
357
00:19:24,246 --> 00:19:25,331
Oh!
358
00:19:27,541 --> 00:19:28,668
Do friends kiss...
359
00:19:31,003 --> 00:19:31,879
Yeah.
360
00:19:59,824 --> 00:20:01,784
So, we had good reasons
for breaking up, right?
361
00:20:02,326 --> 00:20:03,160
Yeah.
362
00:20:04,036 --> 00:20:06,789
Money, schedules, goals.
363
00:20:08,082 --> 00:20:09,041
Good reasons.
364
00:20:12,795 --> 00:20:13,796
So, what now?
365
00:20:16,173 --> 00:20:17,299
Are we still just friends?
366
00:20:18,217 --> 00:20:20,970
Yeah, we're still just friends.
367
00:20:22,555 --> 00:20:23,764
Friends who have sex.
368
00:20:24,807 --> 00:20:25,641
Oh!
369
00:20:42,950 --> 00:20:44,994
And in a bed across town...
370
00:20:45,369 --> 00:20:46,412
Ready?
371
00:20:47,079 --> 00:20:48,205
Wait.
372
00:20:49,707 --> 00:20:50,916
Wait.
373
00:20:51,584 --> 00:20:53,377
After two advanced yoga classes
374
00:20:53,461 --> 00:20:56,130
and a hit of the best Hawaiian
gold she could find...
375
00:20:56,505 --> 00:20:59,884
Samantha was ready to take
another run at Mount Everest.
376
00:20:59,967 --> 00:21:03,471
Okay, here we go.
377
00:21:05,347 --> 00:21:07,391
Nice and easy.
378
00:21:10,144 --> 00:21:11,145
Okay.
379
00:21:16,233 --> 00:21:17,359
That's it.
380
00:21:20,112 --> 00:21:21,864
Easy--
381
00:21:22,364 --> 00:21:23,824
Easy.
382
00:21:25,993 --> 00:21:27,036
Okay.
383
00:21:28,412 --> 00:21:29,705
Oh, good.
384
00:21:32,541 --> 00:21:33,834
Good.
385
00:21:33,918 --> 00:21:36,170
Okay, here we go.
386
00:21:38,339 --> 00:21:39,423
Here we go?
387
00:21:39,673 --> 00:21:40,508
Yeah.
388
00:21:41,091 --> 00:21:42,468
You mean, we're not there yet?
389
00:21:43,594 --> 00:21:45,805
-No.
-Okay, stop.
390
00:21:46,055 --> 00:21:48,224
Whoa, boy. Woah, woah!
391
00:21:52,311 --> 00:21:54,146
Can we just be friends?
392
00:21:57,983 --> 00:22:02,154
And just like that, Samantha
made her very first male friend.
393
00:22:04,949 --> 00:22:08,744
The next day in Central Park, Charlotte
was making a new friend as well.
394
00:22:08,953 --> 00:22:09,787
Woah!
395
00:22:10,204 --> 00:22:11,205
Woah!
396
00:22:11,539 --> 00:22:12,456
Good, Pal.
397
00:22:12,540 --> 00:22:15,251
She had decided she and Pal
were moving too fast.
398
00:22:15,543 --> 00:22:18,587
Before they could go any further,
they needed to slow down
399
00:22:18,671 --> 00:22:19,922
and get to know each other better.
400
00:22:21,048 --> 00:22:23,342
You're a good boy, Pal.
401
00:22:24,009 --> 00:22:25,219
Does that feel good?
402
00:22:26,136 --> 00:22:29,598
You like that?
Oh, my Taddy liked that, too, yes.
403
00:22:30,099 --> 00:22:32,268
I loved my Taddy so much.
404
00:22:32,351 --> 00:22:35,229
Oh, good boy.
405
00:22:35,312 --> 00:22:37,857
And with that gentle
nudge from her new pal,
406
00:22:38,315 --> 00:22:40,985
all Charlotte's bad feelings
about Taddy lifted
407
00:22:41,193 --> 00:22:44,822
and she remembered just how much
she had loved his cute white spots.
408
00:22:45,990 --> 00:22:47,825
Easy. Easy.
409
00:22:48,659 --> 00:22:50,327
Okay. Go, boy, go!
410
00:23:11,891 --> 00:23:14,268
Hey, it's Carrie, I'm shoe shopping.
411
00:23:14,476 --> 00:23:15,895
It's me, are you there?
412
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:19,523
Pick up if you're there.
413
00:23:22,860 --> 00:23:23,694
You're not there.
414
00:23:25,487 --> 00:23:26,322
Okay...
415
00:23:28,949 --> 00:23:33,203
Well, I'm calling to say
I feel bad about last week.
416
00:23:38,417 --> 00:23:40,294
I didn't mean for it
to happen like that.
417
00:23:43,631 --> 00:23:44,715
I thought you needed to know.
418
00:23:46,342 --> 00:23:48,260
I hated the idea
of someone else telling you.
419
00:23:49,470 --> 00:23:50,304
Christ.
420
00:23:51,138 --> 00:23:53,432
I feel like a real shit. I'm sorry.
421
00:23:53,766 --> 00:23:55,434
I'm really sorry...
422
00:23:56,393 --> 00:23:57,227
I would...
423
00:23:57,770 --> 00:24:00,606
you know, I would never ever
hurt you deliberately--
424
00:24:01,148 --> 00:24:02,191
I know you wouldn't.
425
00:24:03,734 --> 00:24:05,778
-You're there?
-Yeah, I'm here.
426
00:24:12,451 --> 00:24:13,285
So...
427
00:24:14,286 --> 00:24:15,746
Like I was saying, I'm sorry.
428
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:17,414
No, I'm sorry, too.
429
00:24:18,874 --> 00:24:20,834
I shouldn't have reacted like that.
I just...
430
00:24:23,420 --> 00:24:26,048
It was just such a shock.
431
00:24:28,592 --> 00:24:31,720
I guess it was a shock I needed
to hear to move on or something.
432
00:24:34,682 --> 00:24:35,516
Yeah.
433
00:24:39,770 --> 00:24:42,272
I wish you all the best. I do.
434
00:24:43,315 --> 00:24:45,943
I hope you and Natasha
will be very happy.
435
00:24:47,027 --> 00:24:47,903
Do you mean that?
436
00:24:48,404 --> 00:24:49,238
No.
437
00:24:50,739 --> 00:24:51,657
But I will.
438
00:24:52,950 --> 00:24:55,244
Really. Really, I hope...
439
00:24:56,870 --> 00:24:58,622
someday very soon,
440
00:24:58,956 --> 00:25:03,419
we can all meet for a drink
and be great friends.
441
00:25:04,712 --> 00:25:06,255
You know, like they do in the movies.
442
00:25:08,507 --> 00:25:09,341
So...
443
00:25:11,593 --> 00:25:12,428
Bye.
444
00:25:15,597 --> 00:25:16,432
Bye.
445
00:25:29,486 --> 00:25:33,323
And I actually managed to hold
onto those friendly feelings, until...
446
00:25:54,344 --> 00:25:57,765
I can't believe my ex-boyfriend
is six blocks away at The Plaza
447
00:25:57,848 --> 00:25:59,767
right now having an engagement brunch.
448
00:25:59,850 --> 00:26:01,935
I can't believe he had
the nerve to invite you.
449
00:26:02,019 --> 00:26:03,729
Oh, no no no. It's my own fault.
450
00:26:03,854 --> 00:26:07,483
I had to make the big
"let's be friends" speech.
451
00:26:08,192 --> 00:26:11,028
But who am I kidding?
Big and I were never friends, we were...
452
00:26:11,153 --> 00:26:12,237
something else.
453
00:26:13,238 --> 00:26:16,825
Something that apparently did not end
with an engagement party at The Plaza.
454
00:26:17,034 --> 00:26:19,119
-Do we want another round?
-What do you think?
455
00:26:19,203 --> 00:26:20,913
-Four more, please.
-Coming right up.
456
00:26:20,996 --> 00:26:25,125
You know, I think I can actually
feel them over there eating shrimp.
457
00:26:25,876 --> 00:26:28,170
It's just-- Why her?
458
00:26:29,463 --> 00:26:30,798
I mean really...
459
00:26:31,548 --> 00:26:32,549
Why her?
460
00:26:33,092 --> 00:26:34,968
One word. Hubbell.
461
00:26:35,552 --> 00:26:36,720
Hubbell.
462
00:26:36,929 --> 00:26:39,014
Oh, my God. Hubbell.
463
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,267
It is so Hubbell.
464
00:26:42,351 --> 00:26:43,185
Who's Hubbell?
465
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:44,520
Hubbell!
466
00:26:44,603 --> 00:26:47,314
Robert "Hubbell" Redford
in "The Way We Were".
467
00:26:47,397 --> 00:26:49,066
Oh, I love that movie.
468
00:26:49,149 --> 00:26:51,819
No, I love, love, love, that movie.
469
00:26:51,902 --> 00:26:54,488
-Never saw it.
- Oh, my god!
470
00:26:54,696 --> 00:26:57,491
What are you, an alien? How could
you have not seen "The Way We Were"?
471
00:26:57,616 --> 00:26:58,575
Chick film.
472
00:26:59,243 --> 00:27:02,913
OK. Robert Redford
is madly in love with Barbra Streisand.
473
00:27:03,163 --> 00:27:04,665
-Katie.
-K-k-k-Katie.
474
00:27:04,748 --> 00:27:06,375
K-k-k-Katie, right!
475
00:27:06,542 --> 00:27:09,670
Yeah. But he can't be with her
because she's too complicated and...
476
00:27:09,962 --> 00:27:12,172
she has wild, curly hair.
477
00:27:12,256 --> 00:27:14,174
-Hello? C-c-c-curly.
-Yeah.
478
00:27:14,424 --> 00:27:16,468
So he leaves her and marries this...
479
00:27:16,885 --> 00:27:19,304
simple girl with straight hair.
480
00:27:19,429 --> 00:27:21,223
Ladies, I am having an epiphany.
481
00:27:21,598 --> 00:27:24,226
The world is made up
of two types of women:
482
00:27:24,393 --> 00:27:26,562
The "simple" girls
and the "Katie" girls.
483
00:27:27,437 --> 00:27:30,190
I'm a "Katie" girl
and where are our drinks?
484
00:27:30,274 --> 00:27:34,194
I always, always, always cry
at the last scene in that movie,
485
00:27:34,278 --> 00:27:37,281
when she sees him in front
of the hotel with his new wife.
486
00:27:37,364 --> 00:27:38,323
The simple girl.
487
00:27:38,448 --> 00:27:41,076
-And she reaches up--
-And smoothes his hair away.
488
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:42,661
And she says to him,
489
00:27:42,786 --> 00:27:44,830
"Your girl is lovely, Hubbell."
490
00:27:45,455 --> 00:27:47,791
And then the music comes in.
491
00:27:47,875 --> 00:27:48,876
Memories
492
00:27:48,959 --> 00:27:50,460
Oh my, God, it's so good.
493
00:27:50,544 --> 00:27:52,880
Light the corners of my mind
494
00:27:53,172 --> 00:27:56,466
Misty water-colored memories
495
00:27:57,050 --> 00:27:59,219
Of the way we were
496
00:27:59,303 --> 00:28:00,846
Let me do my favorite part.
497
00:28:00,929 --> 00:28:03,599
-Can it be
-Oh yes!
498
00:28:03,682 --> 00:28:08,187
Can it be that it was all so simple then
499
00:28:08,312 --> 00:28:12,232
Or has time re-written every line?
500
00:28:12,608 --> 00:28:16,361
If we had the chance to do it all again
501
00:28:16,737 --> 00:28:17,863
Tell me
502
00:28:18,071 --> 00:28:19,615
Would we?
503
00:28:20,282 --> 00:28:21,283
Could we?
504
00:28:22,201 --> 00:28:24,995
Memories
505
00:28:25,287 --> 00:28:26,830
I miss James.
506
00:28:28,498 --> 00:28:29,708
Excuse me?
507
00:28:30,834 --> 00:28:33,212
After I left my friends,
I found myself
508
00:28:33,295 --> 00:28:35,756
pulled to the site
of the Big engagement party.
509
00:28:36,006 --> 00:28:39,593
I had no intention of going in,
but it was on my way home.
510
00:28:51,188 --> 00:28:52,564
One second.
511
00:28:54,524 --> 00:28:55,567
I had a choice.
512
00:28:55,734 --> 00:28:59,029
I could run or I could stand
and ask him the question,
513
00:28:59,154 --> 00:29:02,866
that if I didn't ask,
would haunt me the rest of my life.
514
00:29:03,367 --> 00:29:05,619
I thought by the time I got here,
I'd know what to say.
515
00:29:06,662 --> 00:29:07,496
And?
516
00:29:08,956 --> 00:29:09,790
Well...
517
00:29:10,332 --> 00:29:11,166
You're late.
518
00:29:11,875 --> 00:29:12,918
The party's over.
519
00:29:13,794 --> 00:29:14,878
I'll say it is.
520
00:29:17,756 --> 00:29:18,632
Funny.
521
00:29:20,425 --> 00:29:22,594
Anyway, I was just on my way home and...
522
00:29:24,554 --> 00:29:25,389
Hey.
523
00:29:26,431 --> 00:29:27,683
I have a question for you.
524
00:29:29,226 --> 00:29:30,352
Why wasn't it me?
525
00:29:30,978 --> 00:29:32,479
-Carrie--
-No, seriously.
526
00:29:33,522 --> 00:29:35,774
I really need to hear you say it.
527
00:29:37,359 --> 00:29:38,819
Come on, be a friend.
528
00:29:42,489 --> 00:29:43,448
I don't know.
529
00:29:44,741 --> 00:29:46,118
It just got so hard...
530
00:29:47,911 --> 00:29:48,996
and she's...
531
00:29:51,331 --> 00:29:52,332
Yeah.
532
00:30:04,928 --> 00:30:06,680
"Your girl is lovely, Hubbell."
533
00:30:09,558 --> 00:30:10,517
I don't get it.
534
00:30:12,060 --> 00:30:13,270
And you never did.
535
00:30:21,445 --> 00:30:22,904
Easy, girl, easy.
536
00:30:33,332 --> 00:30:36,543
Then I had a thought,
maybe I didn't break Big.
537
00:30:37,044 --> 00:30:39,588
Maybe the problem was
he couldn't break me.
538
00:30:40,756 --> 00:30:43,133
Maybe some women
aren't meant to be tamed.
539
00:30:44,384 --> 00:30:47,679
Maybe they need to run free
until they find someone...
540
00:30:48,096 --> 00:30:50,390
just as wild to run with.
