1
00:00:46,004 --> 00:00:49,014
[Carrie] Last night,
my friend Miranda
got invited to a dinner party
2
00:00:49,009 --> 00:00:51,009
by a man she hardly knew.
3
00:00:52,017 --> 00:00:54,007
She was the date of Nick Waxler,
4
00:00:54,013 --> 00:00:56,013
a fairly successful sports agent
5
00:00:56,016 --> 00:00:58,016
who once told her
she had nice legs.
6
00:00:59,011 --> 00:01:00,011
Okay,
7
00:01:00,020 --> 00:01:03,020
old movie stars
you'd have liked to fuck
8
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,010
when they were young.
9
00:01:05,008 --> 00:01:06,998
[laughs] Alive or dead?
10
00:01:07,004 --> 00:01:09,004
It doesn't matter, I'll start.
11
00:01:09,009 --> 00:01:10,019
Veronica Lake,
12
00:01:10,019 --> 00:01:12,019
the year she made
Sullivan's Travels .
13
00:01:13,008 --> 00:01:14,008
Dave?
14
00:01:14,010 --> 00:01:17,020
Huh. I'd have to say
Sophia Loren.
15
00:01:18,004 --> 00:01:20,014
Probably 'cause my dad
had this thing for her.
16
00:01:20,007 --> 00:01:22,007
-Uh, we won't go there.
-[all laugh]
17
00:01:22,008 --> 00:01:23,008
Montgomery Clift.
18
00:01:23,008 --> 00:01:24,008
He was gay.
19
00:01:24,014 --> 00:01:25,014
Oh.
20
00:01:25,014 --> 00:01:26,024
Marilyn Monroe,
21
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:28,020
before the Kennedys got to her.
Honey?
22
00:01:28,018 --> 00:01:30,998
-Bing Crosby.
-[all groan]
23
00:01:31,002 --> 00:01:33,012
Ah! I stand by my choice.
24
00:01:34,008 --> 00:01:35,008
Sean Connery,
25
00:01:35,020 --> 00:01:38,020
yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
26
00:01:38,020 --> 00:01:43,020
[Carrie] For a first date,
Miranda felt like she was
hitting it out of the ballpark.
27
00:01:44,016 --> 00:01:45,016
Thanks.
28
00:01:46,004 --> 00:01:48,014
[Deanne] So how long
have you known Nick?
29
00:01:48,018 --> 00:01:51,018
We've been riding the same
elevator line for years
30
00:01:52,001 --> 00:01:54,001
and then we had lunch
a few weeks ago
31
00:01:54,005 --> 00:01:56,005
and then he invited me here
to dinner.
32
00:01:56,013 --> 00:01:58,023
Well, we adore him.
33
00:01:58,017 --> 00:01:59,017
He's very smart.
34
00:02:00,001 --> 00:02:02,001
I guess he took our little
ultimatum seriously.
35
00:02:02,006 --> 00:02:03,016
Deanne.
36
00:02:05,004 --> 00:02:06,024
What are you talking about?
37
00:02:06,018 --> 00:02:07,998
[Carrie] They told Miranda
38
00:02:08,003 --> 00:02:10,023
that Nick had
this thing for models.
39
00:02:10,021 --> 00:02:12,011
Okay, old movie stars
40
00:02:12,007 --> 00:02:14,007
you would have liked to fuck
when they were young.
41
00:02:14,010 --> 00:02:15,010
I'll start.
42
00:02:15,008 --> 00:02:16,018
Veronica Lake,
43
00:02:16,018 --> 00:02:18,008
the year she made
Sullivan's Travels .
44
00:02:18,014 --> 00:02:19,014
Dave?
45
00:02:19,015 --> 00:02:21,015
I'd have to go
with Sophia Loren.
46
00:02:21,018 --> 00:02:24,008
Probably, my dad
had a thing for her.
47
00:02:24,008 --> 00:02:25,008
Montgomery Clift.
48
00:02:25,023 --> 00:02:27,013
Marilyn Monroe.
49
00:02:27,010 --> 00:02:28,020
Bing Crosby.
50
00:02:30,007 --> 00:02:31,007
Yvette?
51
00:02:32,006 --> 00:02:35,016
Um, I don't know, Charlie Sheen?
52
00:02:35,022 --> 00:02:39,022
[Carrie] They'd come to dinner,
push their food around,
53
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,010
and pout.
54
00:02:41,010 --> 00:02:42,020
Veronica Lake.
55
00:02:42,018 --> 00:02:43,018
Sophia Loren.
56
00:02:43,020 --> 00:02:45,000
Montgomery Clift.
57
00:02:45,006 --> 00:02:46,016
Marilyn Monroe.
58
00:02:47,004 --> 00:02:48,014
Bing Crosby.
59
00:02:48,012 --> 00:02:49,022
Marissa?
60
00:03:01,016 --> 00:03:02,016
She, um...
61
00:03:03,016 --> 00:03:05,006
had to make a phone call.
62
00:03:05,009 --> 00:03:07,009
[Carrie] It got to be a problem.
63
00:03:07,007 --> 00:03:09,007
They decided to take action.
64
00:03:09,010 --> 00:03:10,020
Can't you find a woman
65
00:03:10,019 --> 00:03:13,009
who can carry on
a decent conversation?
66
00:03:13,009 --> 00:03:15,999
Yeah, Nick.
And eat without purging.
67
00:03:16,003 --> 00:03:17,023
-[laughs]
-What are you saying?
68
00:03:17,019 --> 00:03:20,009
You can't bring around any more
of these so-called models, Nick.
69
00:03:20,010 --> 00:03:22,000
Uh-uh, it's too depressing.
70
00:03:23,010 --> 00:03:24,020
Okay, okay.
71
00:03:25,021 --> 00:03:27,001
I'll see what I can do.
72
00:03:27,015 --> 00:03:29,005
And then he brought you.
73
00:03:29,012 --> 00:03:31,012
So obviously not a model.
74
00:03:31,014 --> 00:03:32,024
In a good way!
75
00:03:33,023 --> 00:03:36,013
Nick dates models?
76
00:03:43,001 --> 00:03:44,021
[Carrie] Miranda confronted him,
77
00:03:44,018 --> 00:03:46,018
and it didn't
take him long to fold.
78
00:03:46,017 --> 00:03:48,997
Well, it's true.
It's true, okay?
79
00:03:49,002 --> 00:03:50,002
I'm obsessed.
80
00:03:50,004 --> 00:03:51,014
Obsessed with models.
81
00:03:51,007 --> 00:03:52,017
-Correct.
-So what am I?
82
00:03:52,021 --> 00:03:54,021
Your intellectual beard
for the evening?
83
00:03:54,018 --> 00:03:56,008
Look, don't be pissed,
all right?
84
00:03:56,016 --> 00:03:59,016
You got to admit,
you met some nice people.
85
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,020
All right, you had a good time.
86
00:04:04,006 --> 00:04:05,996
[Carrie] You were on a date
with a modelizer
87
00:04:06,004 --> 00:04:07,024
and you didn't even know it?
88
00:04:07,022 --> 00:04:10,012
If men like Nick
are dating models,
89
00:04:10,008 --> 00:04:11,998
what chance
do ordinary women have?
90
00:04:12,006 --> 00:04:15,996
I mean, do you have to be
a supermodel to get a date
in New York?
91
00:04:16,005 --> 00:04:19,005
[Carrie] Modelizers
are a particular breed.
92
00:04:19,007 --> 00:04:20,017
They're a step beyond
womanizers
93
00:04:20,023 --> 00:04:23,023
who will sleep with just about
anything in a skirt.
94
00:04:23,022 --> 00:04:25,012
Modelizers are obsessed,
95
00:04:25,012 --> 00:04:27,022
not with women, but with models,
96
00:04:27,017 --> 00:04:31,017
who, in most cities,
are safely confined
to billboards and magazines,
97
00:04:31,021 --> 00:04:34,021
but in Manhattan, actually
run wild on the streets,
98
00:04:34,021 --> 00:04:37,021
turning the city into
a virtual model country safari,
99
00:04:37,021 --> 00:04:41,001
where men can pet the creatures
in their natural habitat.
100
00:04:41,002 --> 00:04:43,012
As if we didn't
have enough problems.
101
00:04:44,021 --> 00:04:46,011
[Miranda] They're stupid
and lazy
102
00:04:46,011 --> 00:04:47,021
and they should be
shot on sight.
103
00:04:47,019 --> 00:04:48,999
[Samantha] I've been out
with a lot of guys
104
00:04:49,005 --> 00:04:51,005
and they say I am just
as beautiful as a model,
105
00:04:51,008 --> 00:04:53,998
but I work for a living.
I mean, I'm like, well,
106
00:04:54,003 --> 00:04:56,013
I'm like a model
who's taken the high road.
107
00:04:56,007 --> 00:04:57,997
The advantages given to models
108
00:04:58,005 --> 00:04:59,015
and to beautiful women
in general
109
00:04:59,021 --> 00:05:01,021
are so unfair,
it makes me want to puke.
110
00:05:01,022 --> 00:05:03,022
Sweetheart, you shouldn't say
that, you are so cute.
111
00:05:03,021 --> 00:05:05,011
Cute doesn't
cut it in this town.
112
00:05:05,014 --> 00:05:07,024
What's cute compared
to supermodel?
113
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,010
[Carrie] There's nothing like
raising the subject of models
114
00:05:10,014 --> 00:05:11,024
among four single women
115
00:05:11,023 --> 00:05:14,013
to spice up an otherwise
dull Tuesday night.
116
00:05:14,014 --> 00:05:16,024
[Charlotte] They have this
distant, sexy look.
117
00:05:16,023 --> 00:05:18,023
That's not sexy,
it's starvation.
118
00:05:18,023 --> 00:05:21,003
That's starvation
in the best restaurants.
119
00:05:21,005 --> 00:05:22,995
Yeah. What I want to know is,
120
00:05:23,005 --> 00:05:25,015
when did all the men
get together and decide
121
00:05:25,021 --> 00:05:28,021
that they would only get it up
for giraffes with big breasts?
122
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,020
In some cultures,
heavy women with mustaches
123
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,010
are considered beautiful.
124
00:05:34,011 --> 00:05:35,021
And you're looking at me
while you're saying that?
125
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,000
We should just admit
that we live in a culture
126
00:05:38,003 --> 00:05:40,013
that promotes impossible
standards of beauty.
127
00:05:40,008 --> 00:05:41,018
Yeah, except men
think they're possible.
128
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,010
-Yeah.
-I just know no matter how good
I feel about myself,
129
00:05:45,013 --> 00:05:48,003
if I see Christy Turlington,
I just want to give up.
130
00:05:48,006 --> 00:05:50,016
I just want to tie her down
and force feed her lard,
131
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,000
but that's the difference
between you and me.
132
00:05:53,006 --> 00:05:54,016
What are you talking about?
133
00:05:54,018 --> 00:05:56,018
Look at you two,
you're beautiful.
134
00:05:56,021 --> 00:05:58,021
[groans] I hate my thighs.
135
00:05:58,022 --> 00:06:00,002
Oh, come on!
136
00:06:00,003 --> 00:06:01,023
I can't even open a magazine
137
00:06:01,021 --> 00:06:04,011
without thinking,
"thighs, thighs, thighs."
138
00:06:04,007 --> 00:06:06,997
Well, I'll take your thighs
and raise you a chin.
139
00:06:07,002 --> 00:06:09,002
I'll take your chin
and raise you a...
140
00:06:14,001 --> 00:06:15,021
-What?
-Oh, come on.
141
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,020
Hey, I happen
to love the way I look.
142
00:06:18,019 --> 00:06:20,009
You should,
you paid enough for it.
143
00:06:20,016 --> 00:06:22,006
[Samantha] Hey, I resent that.
144
00:06:22,008 --> 00:06:24,008
I do not believe
in plastic surgery.
145
00:06:25,001 --> 00:06:25,021
Well, not yet.
146
00:06:26,001 --> 00:06:28,011
I find it fascinating that four,
147
00:06:28,013 --> 00:06:30,023
beautiful, flesh and blood women
148
00:06:30,022 --> 00:06:33,012
could be intimidated
by some unreal fantasy.
149
00:06:33,009 --> 00:06:35,009
I mean look. Look at this.
150
00:06:35,017 --> 00:06:37,997
Is this really intimidating
to any of you?
151
00:06:38,020 --> 00:06:40,010
I hate my thighs.
152
00:06:40,008 --> 00:06:42,998
-Pass the chicken.
-You know, I have that dress.
153
00:06:43,004 --> 00:06:44,024
[Carrie] Suddenly,
I was interested.
154
00:06:44,020 --> 00:06:48,000
If models could cause
otherwise rational individuals
155
00:06:48,002 --> 00:06:49,022
to crumble in their presence,
156
00:06:49,018 --> 00:06:51,018
exactly how powerful was beauty?
157
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,000
There are two types of guys
that fall for beautiful women.
158
00:06:55,004 --> 00:06:57,014
Either they're slimeballs
that are just out to get laid,
159
00:06:57,014 --> 00:06:59,014
or they fall in love
with you instantly.
160
00:06:59,011 --> 00:07:00,011
It's pathetic.
161
00:07:00,010 --> 00:07:02,010
Why fuck the girl in the skirt,
162
00:07:02,010 --> 00:07:05,020
if you can fuck the girl
in the ad for the skirt?
163
00:07:05,018 --> 00:07:07,018
Being beautiful is such a power.
164
00:07:07,022 --> 00:07:09,022
You can get whatever you want.
165
00:07:09,019 --> 00:07:10,019
You can get anything.
166
00:07:11,001 --> 00:07:12,021
I've been offered trips
to Aspen,
167
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,010
weekends in Paris,
168
00:07:14,016 --> 00:07:15,996
Christmas in St. Barts.
169
00:07:16,006 --> 00:07:17,006
A motorcycle,
170
00:07:17,023 --> 00:07:18,023
juicer.
171
00:07:19,001 --> 00:07:21,011
It's not like models
don't have brains.
172
00:07:22,001 --> 00:07:23,011
They have them.
173
00:07:23,018 --> 00:07:25,018
They just don't
need to use them.
174
00:07:25,022 --> 00:07:27,012
Most guys just
think you're dumb,
175
00:07:27,007 --> 00:07:28,017
but I'm really very literary.
176
00:07:28,021 --> 00:07:30,001
I read.
177
00:07:30,003 --> 00:07:32,003
I'll sit down
and I'll read a whole magazine
178
00:07:32,003 --> 00:07:33,003
from cover to cover.
179
00:07:33,005 --> 00:07:34,015
Some scuba gear.
180
00:07:37,002 --> 00:07:38,012
A Herb Ritts photo.
181
00:07:38,022 --> 00:07:42,012
A Bvlgari necklace.
A breast job.
182
00:07:42,010 --> 00:07:44,010
My friends think I'm shallow.
183
00:07:44,015 --> 00:07:45,995
Sometimes I think they're right.
184
00:07:46,011 --> 00:07:47,021
Other times, I think,
185
00:07:47,018 --> 00:07:50,018
"Hey, I'm fucking a model."
186
00:07:50,021 --> 00:07:54,011
Models are a lot looser
than you think.
187
00:07:54,023 --> 00:07:57,023
It's way easier to screw
a model than a regular girl
188
00:07:57,023 --> 00:07:59,023
'cause that's what
they do all the time.
189
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,010
It's how regular people are
when they're on vacation.
190
00:08:02,014 --> 00:08:05,014
[Carrie] Barkley,
a notorious modelizer,
191
00:08:05,010 --> 00:08:07,000
was one of those SoHo wonders
192
00:08:07,004 --> 00:08:09,004
who maintained
a fabulous lifestyle,
193
00:08:09,004 --> 00:08:12,004
despite never having sold
a single painting.
194
00:08:12,002 --> 00:08:14,022
So you're saying
it's easy to meet them?
195
00:08:14,018 --> 00:08:16,008
No, it's not so easy.
196
00:08:16,014 --> 00:08:19,024
The trick is,
you gotta treat them
like they're regular girls.
197
00:08:19,021 --> 00:08:21,011
You gotta be able
to roll into a place,
198
00:08:21,016 --> 00:08:23,006
walk up
to the hottest thing there.
199
00:08:23,008 --> 00:08:24,008
Otherwise, you're finished.
200
00:08:24,013 --> 00:08:26,013
It's kind of like
being around dogs.
201
00:08:26,012 --> 00:08:28,002
You gotta show no fear.
202
00:08:28,004 --> 00:08:29,014
[Carrie] Things?
203
00:08:29,008 --> 00:08:31,008
You call them things?
204
00:08:31,007 --> 00:08:32,007
Yeah.
205
00:08:32,008 --> 00:08:33,008
Well, they are things.
206
00:08:33,014 --> 00:08:34,024
They're beautiful things,
207
00:08:35,001 --> 00:08:36,021
and that's what
my life's about, you know?
208
00:08:38,022 --> 00:08:40,002
Beauty.
209
00:08:41,010 --> 00:08:43,010
Come here, I want
to show you something.
210
00:08:47,011 --> 00:08:49,011
This is my real art,
211
00:08:49,015 --> 00:08:52,015
only I can't really show it
to the public.
212
00:08:55,011 --> 00:08:56,021
Well, not yet at least.
213
00:08:56,019 --> 00:08:57,019
Sit down.
214
00:09:04,001 --> 00:09:05,021
[women moaning]
215
00:09:06,001 --> 00:09:07,021
That's Vanessa.
216
00:09:08,013 --> 00:09:09,023
That's Tanya,
217
00:09:10,012 --> 00:09:11,022
Elana,
218
00:09:11,021 --> 00:09:13,011
Katrina.
219
00:09:14,001 --> 00:09:15,021
[Carrie] I couldn't believe it.
220
00:09:15,020 --> 00:09:18,000
The man had slept
with half the perfume ads
221
00:09:18,006 --> 00:09:19,016
in September's Vogue .
222
00:09:23,003 --> 00:09:24,003
Do they--
223
00:09:24,005 --> 00:09:25,015
do they know about this?
224
00:09:26,018 --> 00:09:27,008
Maybe.
225
00:09:27,016 --> 00:09:29,016
Oh, look at that one.
226
00:09:31,020 --> 00:09:32,020
She does runway now,
227
00:09:33,001 --> 00:09:35,011
but I think she's
gonna be huge someday.
228
00:09:35,013 --> 00:09:37,013
[Carrie] I didn't know
what to say.
229
00:09:37,008 --> 00:09:39,008
There really wasn't
anything to say except...
230
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:42,010
Do you have a light?
231
00:09:42,013 --> 00:09:44,013
Yeah, sure.
232
00:09:44,017 --> 00:09:46,997
[woman moans]
233
00:09:50,022 --> 00:09:53,022
[Carrie] Later that day,
I was relieved to discover
234
00:09:54,001 --> 00:09:55,021
that at least
one eligible bachelor
235
00:09:55,022 --> 00:09:58,002
got his kicks off the runway.
236
00:09:58,004 --> 00:10:00,004
So I totally dig
your friend, Miranda.
237
00:10:00,006 --> 00:10:01,006
You're kidding. That's great!
238
00:10:01,011 --> 00:10:04,001
Yeah, I think she is
so sexy and smart,
239
00:10:04,003 --> 00:10:06,023
and did she tell you
that we made out?
240
00:10:06,020 --> 00:10:07,020
No.
241
00:10:07,020 --> 00:10:09,010
Yeah, it was totally hot.
242
00:10:09,017 --> 00:10:13,997
Wow. So why don't you call her?
You should call her.
243
00:10:14,004 --> 00:10:15,024
-She would love that.
-I did, like 100 times.
244
00:10:16,001 --> 00:10:17,011
She totally won't return my
phone calls.
245
00:10:17,015 --> 00:10:20,005
I don't know.
Did she say anything about me?
246
00:10:20,021 --> 00:10:21,021
No.
247
00:10:22,001 --> 00:10:23,021
I don't know,
maybe she's just busy,
248
00:10:23,021 --> 00:10:26,011
or I don't know, am I not
cute enough for her?
249
00:10:26,010 --> 00:10:28,010
Of course, you are.
Skipper, you're adorable.
250
00:10:28,009 --> 00:10:29,019
Well, I don't know.
Find out for me.
251
00:10:30,001 --> 00:10:32,011
I want to see
if I still have a chance.
252
00:10:33,013 --> 00:10:35,003
Right now, in front of you?
253
00:10:35,002 --> 00:10:36,022
Go ahead. I can handle it.
254
00:10:39,011 --> 00:10:42,001
[answering machine]
Hi, this is Miranda.
Please leave me a message.
255
00:10:42,003 --> 00:10:43,013
Oh, it's her machine.
256
00:10:43,007 --> 00:10:44,007
[machine beeps]
257
00:10:44,012 --> 00:10:45,022
Hey, this is Skipper.
258
00:10:45,023 --> 00:10:47,013
I'm in the street with Carrie.
259
00:10:47,013 --> 00:10:49,013
I just told her how
you won't call me back.
260
00:10:49,008 --> 00:10:51,008
So now you have to call me back.
261
00:10:51,014 --> 00:10:53,004
You better call me back!
262
00:10:53,002 --> 00:10:55,022
[laughs] No, I'm kidding.
I'm joking.
263
00:10:55,018 --> 00:10:57,998
Um, but seriously,
I hope you call me back,
264
00:10:58,002 --> 00:11:01,012
and, um, did I mention
this was Skipper?
265
00:11:03,006 --> 00:11:04,996
I believe there is a curse
put on the head
266
00:11:05,006 --> 00:11:07,016
of anybody who tries
to fix up their friends.
267
00:11:11,008 --> 00:11:14,008
Where better to find modelizers
in their natural habitat
268
00:11:14,013 --> 00:11:15,023
than a fashion show?
269
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,020
Luckily, my friend
Stanford Blatch
270
00:11:17,020 --> 00:11:20,000
had a client
in the hottest show in town.
271
00:11:20,015 --> 00:11:23,015
"The Bone" is like the human
equivalent of the sable coat.
272
00:11:23,022 --> 00:11:26,012
He's so beautiful
that I find that sometimes
273
00:11:26,011 --> 00:11:27,021
I have to look away.
274
00:11:28,004 --> 00:11:29,004
Do you see him?
275
00:11:29,015 --> 00:11:30,015
Right over there.
276
00:11:30,022 --> 00:11:32,022
-Where?
-Oh, my God, look at him.
277
00:11:32,020 --> 00:11:36,010
It's like he travels
with his own personal
lighting director.
278
00:11:36,013 --> 00:11:39,013
[Carrie] Derek,
a.k.a. "The Bone,"
279
00:11:39,010 --> 00:11:41,010
was the world's biggest
underwear model
280
00:11:41,009 --> 00:11:43,009
and Stanford's
most important client,
281
00:11:43,014 --> 00:11:46,024
as well as the subject
of his single-minded obsession.
282
00:11:47,011 --> 00:11:48,011
Hey, Stanny.
283
00:11:48,021 --> 00:11:51,001
Um, Derek, I would like
you to meet a very dear friend,
284
00:11:51,003 --> 00:11:52,003
Carrie Bradshaw.
285
00:11:52,002 --> 00:11:52,022
-Hi.
-Hi.
286
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,000
Nice to meet you.
287
00:11:54,006 --> 00:11:55,996
Carrie writes the column
"Sex in the City."
288
00:11:56,002 --> 00:11:57,002
Wow, that's great.
289
00:11:57,005 --> 00:11:59,005
-Oh, have you read it?
-Uh, no.
290
00:11:59,007 --> 00:12:02,997
You know, the other day,
Derek and I were walking past
his billboard,
291
00:12:03,003 --> 00:12:05,013
and he told me he'd like
to get a piece of it
292
00:12:05,016 --> 00:12:07,016
for his apartment,
like maybe his nose.
293
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,020
And I said, "You should get
the bulge in your pants,
294
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,010
that way, when woman ask
how big you are,
295
00:12:13,012 --> 00:12:15,002
you can say, '14 feet.'"
296
00:12:15,005 --> 00:12:16,005
That would be very funny,
wouldn't it?
297
00:12:16,009 --> 00:12:17,019
[laughing] Yeah. Yeah.
298
00:12:17,020 --> 00:12:19,000
Everybody's talking about you.
299
00:12:19,002 --> 00:12:20,012
You are so great.
300
00:12:20,016 --> 00:12:22,996
You're gonna be a star,
have I told you that
enough times?
301
00:12:23,003 --> 00:12:25,013
You're a star,
you're a star, you're a star.
302
00:12:25,013 --> 00:12:27,013
Well, we better
let you get dressed.
303
00:12:28,016 --> 00:12:29,016
I am dressed.
304
00:12:29,022 --> 00:12:30,022
Oh.
305
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:32,010
We'll, uh,
see you after the show.
306
00:12:32,015 --> 00:12:33,015
Bye.
307
00:12:33,018 --> 00:12:34,998
Okay, bye.
308
00:12:35,003 --> 00:12:38,023
Can you believe anyone
that beautiful can be that nice?
309
00:12:39,002 --> 00:12:41,012
I keep dreaming that
someday he's just gonna
turn around and say,
310
00:12:41,013 --> 00:12:43,003
"Stanford, I love you."
311
00:12:43,009 --> 00:12:44,009
Is he gay?
312
00:12:44,014 --> 00:12:45,024
He denies it.
313
00:12:45,019 --> 00:12:47,019
How can anyone that
gorgeous be straight?
314
00:12:49,008 --> 00:12:50,018
Sweetie, over here!
315
00:12:50,023 --> 00:12:54,013
[Carrie] Samantha Jones never
missed a major fashion show.
316
00:12:54,008 --> 00:12:55,018
She was one
of the only people I knew
317
00:12:55,022 --> 00:12:57,022
who thought that
proximity to beauty
318
00:12:57,021 --> 00:12:59,011
made her feel more attractive.
319
00:13:00,001 --> 00:13:01,021
Hey, sweetie, so wait,
what happened?
320
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,020
You couldn't find seats
right on the runway?
321
00:13:03,023 --> 00:13:06,013
Oh, you can see
all the flaws from this angle.
322
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:08,000
[gasps]
323
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,000
Hey, Carrie.
324
00:13:16,011 --> 00:13:18,001
Hey! Hi, Barkley, how are you?
325
00:13:18,003 --> 00:13:19,013
You going
to the party afterwards?
326
00:13:19,012 --> 00:13:20,022
Um, I don't know.
327
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:22,010
Of course we are.
328
00:13:22,009 --> 00:13:24,019
Hi, I'm Samantha.
329
00:13:24,021 --> 00:13:26,001
Barkley.
330
00:13:29,020 --> 00:13:32,010
Martini straight up
or with a twist?
331
00:13:33,015 --> 00:13:34,995
Straight up.
332
00:13:35,014 --> 00:13:37,024
[Samantha] Really?
He's very cute.
333
00:13:37,017 --> 00:13:38,017
You're not dating him, are you?
334
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,010
Oh, God, no,
he's a total modelizer.
335
00:13:45,016 --> 00:13:48,996
Is he, uh, dating any one model
in particular?
336
00:13:49,006 --> 00:13:53,006
Actually,
he's sleeping with
all of them in general.
337
00:13:54,006 --> 00:13:55,016
Only models?
338
00:13:55,019 --> 00:13:57,019
Only models.
339
00:14:15,002 --> 00:14:18,002
[Carrie] Later that night,
we all went downtown
for a party.
340
00:14:19,020 --> 00:14:23,000
I was beginning to float away
on a sea of sweet potato puffs
341
00:14:23,002 --> 00:14:25,022
with smoked salmon
and sour cream when...
342
00:14:27,010 --> 00:14:29,000
It was Mr. Big,
343
00:14:29,006 --> 00:14:32,016
major tycoon, major dream boat,
344
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,010
and majorly out of my league.
345
00:14:34,014 --> 00:14:36,004
I thought
I saw you on the runway.
346
00:14:36,002 --> 00:14:38,012
Oh, hi.
347
00:14:39,012 --> 00:14:41,022
I started reading
your column after we met.
348
00:14:42,008 --> 00:14:43,008
You did?
349
00:14:43,009 --> 00:14:45,009
Yeah, cute.
350
00:14:46,008 --> 00:14:47,008
"Cute."
351
00:14:47,014 --> 00:14:48,014
Well...
352
00:14:49,004 --> 00:14:50,024
Yeah, cute.
353
00:14:50,020 --> 00:14:52,010
What are you writing
about this week?
354
00:14:52,008 --> 00:14:54,018
Um, well, I'm working
on a story about...
355
00:14:55,009 --> 00:14:56,999
men who date models.
356
00:14:57,002 --> 00:14:58,002
Any thoughts?
357
00:14:58,016 --> 00:15:00,006
Only that they're very lucky.
358
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,020
So what have you discovered
about these men
359
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,020
who are dating models?
360
00:15:06,023 --> 00:15:08,023
Well, I'm discovering
361
00:15:08,021 --> 00:15:12,011
that some of them treat it
as a competitive sport,
362
00:15:12,015 --> 00:15:15,015
and others I think
just need the validation.
363
00:15:15,020 --> 00:15:18,000
And probably others
just have a thing
364
00:15:18,006 --> 00:15:19,996
for exceptionally
beautiful women.
365
00:15:20,012 --> 00:15:21,012
Exactly.
366
00:15:22,002 --> 00:15:24,012
And there's something
wrong with that?
367
00:15:24,007 --> 00:15:25,017
No, there's nothing wrong.
368
00:15:26,009 --> 00:15:28,999
I just think it might become
a bit monotonous.
369
00:15:30,003 --> 00:15:31,013
Puff?
370
00:15:31,010 --> 00:15:33,020
Um, no, thanks.
371
00:15:33,017 --> 00:15:34,017
Oh! Excuse me, baby.
372
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:39,010
So where do you, uh,
write these stories?
373
00:15:39,014 --> 00:15:40,024
My cute stories?
374
00:15:40,021 --> 00:15:42,011
Yeah, I mean have you got
an office or anything?
375
00:15:42,015 --> 00:15:45,005
No. Well, about half the time
I'm at my apartment,
376
00:15:45,012 --> 00:15:48,002
and the other half
I'm over at this coffee shop
377
00:15:48,005 --> 00:15:49,015
on 73rd and Madison.
378
00:15:50,001 --> 00:15:52,011
Oh, uh, Carrie,
I'd like you to meet Misha.
379
00:15:52,021 --> 00:15:54,021
Oh, hi.
380
00:15:54,021 --> 00:15:56,001
You were great in the show.
381
00:15:56,003 --> 00:15:57,013
Thank you.
382
00:15:57,015 --> 00:15:59,995
[Carrie] Suddenly, I felt like
I was wearing patchouli
383
00:16:00,002 --> 00:16:01,022
in a room full of Chanel.
384
00:16:02,006 --> 00:16:03,016
Well, it was nice
talking to you.
385
00:16:04,001 --> 00:16:06,001
Oh, see you around sometime...
386
00:16:06,010 --> 00:16:08,020
I hope.
387
00:16:08,022 --> 00:16:11,022
[Carrie] The truth was,
I thought I had come to terms
with my looks
388
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,010
the year I turned 30,
389
00:16:13,011 --> 00:16:15,021
when I realized
that I no longer had the energy
390
00:16:15,019 --> 00:16:17,009
to be completely superficial.
391
00:16:17,013 --> 00:16:18,023
Your friend Barkley,
392
00:16:18,023 --> 00:16:20,023
he's really been
coming on to me.
393
00:16:20,021 --> 00:16:22,021
Do you actually think
he believes I'm a model?
394
00:16:22,021 --> 00:16:25,001
Well, whatever it is,
you don't want to go there.
395
00:16:25,005 --> 00:16:26,005
Why not?
396
00:16:26,014 --> 00:16:30,014
He has this thing for
secretly taping his conquests.
397
00:16:30,016 --> 00:16:32,006
-Really?
-Mm-hmm.
398
00:16:32,014 --> 00:16:34,004
What a pervert.
399
00:16:36,006 --> 00:16:38,016
[Carrie] As Samantha began
to get ready for her close-up,
400
00:16:39,001 --> 00:16:41,011
I felt it was time
to call it a night.
401
00:16:43,012 --> 00:16:46,012
I had never felt so invisible
in my entire life.
402
00:16:46,008 --> 00:16:47,008
Taxi!
403
00:16:52,005 --> 00:16:53,005
Carrie.
404
00:16:53,010 --> 00:16:54,020
Hey! Hi!
405
00:16:54,022 --> 00:16:56,012
Did, um, did Stanford leave?
406
00:16:56,014 --> 00:16:59,014
No, he's in there
giving a neck massage
to a Versace model.
407
00:16:59,011 --> 00:17:00,011
Oh.
408
00:17:00,009 --> 00:17:01,009
So where are you going now?
409
00:17:01,014 --> 00:17:02,024
Oh, I'm going home.
410
00:17:02,023 --> 00:17:04,003
Can I come?
411
00:17:04,015 --> 00:17:05,995
You want to come home with me?
412
00:17:06,002 --> 00:17:07,012
Sure, if it's quiet.
413
00:17:07,016 --> 00:17:08,996
I can't take these crowds.
414
00:17:13,023 --> 00:17:16,023
The things you gotta do
in the name of research.
415
00:17:22,020 --> 00:17:24,010
Shouldn't you be
spending the night
416
00:17:24,013 --> 00:17:26,013
with some girl from the show?
417
00:17:27,001 --> 00:17:28,011
[Derek] No, I never date models.
418
00:17:28,021 --> 00:17:30,021
I think they're stupid.
419
00:17:30,020 --> 00:17:34,010
[Carrie] I wondered if there
wasn't some kind of physics
for beauty.
420
00:17:34,013 --> 00:17:36,013
Maybe two models repelled,
421
00:17:36,009 --> 00:17:39,019
Maybe models could only be
attracted to ordinary humans.
422
00:17:42,016 --> 00:17:45,006
So, I think it's so cool
that you write.
423
00:17:45,015 --> 00:17:46,015
Thanks.
424
00:17:47,004 --> 00:17:48,014
I wish I could write.
425
00:17:48,012 --> 00:17:50,002
I got all these
intense thoughts,
426
00:17:50,002 --> 00:17:51,012
but I can't keep them
in my head long enough
427
00:17:51,015 --> 00:17:52,995
to get them down on paper.
428
00:17:53,002 --> 00:17:55,022
Well, that's the big trick.
429
00:17:55,023 --> 00:17:57,023
The truth is,
I'm totally neurotic.
430
00:17:58,004 --> 00:18:01,014
One minute, I can be
walking down the street,
totally cool,
431
00:18:02,004 --> 00:18:04,014
and the next minute
I'm depressed for no reason.
432
00:18:05,007 --> 00:18:06,017
I'm totally self-conscious.
433
00:18:06,019 --> 00:18:09,019
Like before I say something,
I say it in my head first
434
00:18:09,018 --> 00:18:11,008
so it doesn't come out wrong.
435
00:18:13,006 --> 00:18:14,996
Doesn't that seem like
a waste of time?
436
00:18:15,006 --> 00:18:17,006
It only takes a second.
437
00:18:21,003 --> 00:18:23,013
And sometimes
I get so distracted.
438
00:18:23,018 --> 00:18:25,008
What's distracting you now?
439
00:18:25,010 --> 00:18:26,010
Your nose.
440
00:18:26,010 --> 00:18:27,020
[laughs] Thanks a lot.
441
00:18:27,021 --> 00:18:30,021
-I hate my nose.
-No, it's just so cute.
442
00:18:30,021 --> 00:18:32,011
I hate my nose, too.
443
00:18:32,009 --> 00:18:35,009
It's too big, but I think
it depends on my hair.
444
00:18:35,012 --> 00:18:36,022
Yeah...
445
00:18:38,017 --> 00:18:39,997
I see what you mean.
446
00:18:40,008 --> 00:18:41,018
So what do you want to be
when you grow up?
447
00:18:42,001 --> 00:18:45,021
Oh, well,
I think this might be it.
448
00:18:47,003 --> 00:18:48,023
What do you want to be
when you grow up?
449
00:18:48,017 --> 00:18:51,007
I'd like to move back to Iowa
and have kids,
450
00:18:51,015 --> 00:18:52,015
and be a cop.
451
00:18:56,003 --> 00:18:58,023
[Carrie] I felt like I was
in my bedroom when I was 16,
452
00:18:58,023 --> 00:19:01,023
and I used to hang out
with this guy who was
really beautiful
453
00:19:01,023 --> 00:19:03,013
and my parents thought
I was helping him
454
00:19:03,012 --> 00:19:04,022
with his chemistry homework.
455
00:19:05,018 --> 00:19:07,008
Do you mind if we just lie here?
456
00:19:07,021 --> 00:19:09,011
I get so lonely in the city.
457
00:19:10,005 --> 00:19:12,005
Sometimes it's just nice
to lie with someone.
458
00:19:13,014 --> 00:19:14,024
Sure.
459
00:19:16,005 --> 00:19:18,005
We could do that.
460
00:19:18,015 --> 00:19:21,005
It was hard to imagine
that anyone so beautiful
461
00:19:21,015 --> 00:19:23,005
could ever be lonely.
462
00:19:25,014 --> 00:19:28,004
Meanwhile, somewhere
below 14th street,
463
00:19:28,003 --> 00:19:29,013
two ordinary Joes
464
00:19:29,013 --> 00:19:31,023
were doing their own
lonely late-night thing.
465
00:19:31,018 --> 00:19:32,018
Anything else, miss?
466
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:33,020
No, that's it.
467
00:19:33,022 --> 00:19:35,002
Just cat food?
468
00:19:35,003 --> 00:19:36,023
Yes, just cat food.
469
00:19:37,012 --> 00:19:38,012
Hey.
470
00:19:39,008 --> 00:19:40,018
Oh, hi, Skipper.
471
00:19:41,003 --> 00:19:44,013
So like, um,
how come you haven't been
returning any of my calls?
472
00:19:44,010 --> 00:19:46,020
I'm sorry, it's been
a really busy week.
473
00:19:47,004 --> 00:19:48,024
I thought we had a connection.
474
00:19:48,021 --> 00:19:50,021
Oh, I don't know.
475
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:52,010
Could I get my change?
476
00:19:52,013 --> 00:19:54,023
You mean you get that way
with every guy that you're with?
477
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,010
No, it's just...
478
00:19:59,012 --> 00:20:02,012
Don't you want to go out
with a girl your own age?
479
00:20:02,007 --> 00:20:03,997
It's got nothing to do with age.
480
00:20:04,003 --> 00:20:07,023
I-- I think you're luminous.
481
00:20:08,020 --> 00:20:10,000
You think I'm luminous?
482
00:20:10,002 --> 00:20:11,002
Totally.
483
00:20:12,019 --> 00:20:14,019
[Carrie] Miranda couldn't resist
the vision of herself
484
00:20:15,001 --> 00:20:17,021
reflected in Skipper's
slightly smudged lenses.
485
00:20:20,005 --> 00:20:21,995
All right,
let's get out of here.
486
00:20:22,003 --> 00:20:24,023
Okay, yeah, let me just
pay for my Cap'n Crunch .
487
00:20:25,008 --> 00:20:27,008
There's cereal at my place.
488
00:20:27,023 --> 00:20:29,003
Oh.
489
00:20:34,014 --> 00:20:37,024
[Carrie] And Samantha found
the ultimate validation,
490
00:20:37,020 --> 00:20:39,010
sex with Barkley.
491
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:41,010
So, uh...
492
00:20:41,020 --> 00:20:44,000
[moans] Where is it?
493
00:20:45,006 --> 00:20:46,006
What?
494
00:20:46,023 --> 00:20:48,003
The camera.
495
00:20:49,023 --> 00:20:51,013
Your friend Carrie
tell you about that?
496
00:20:51,015 --> 00:20:52,015
Uh-huh.
497
00:20:53,002 --> 00:20:55,002
Don't worry, I only tape models.
498
00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:59,010
I won't mind.
499
00:21:01,010 --> 00:21:03,010
Fine, I'll make an exception.
500
00:21:14,007 --> 00:21:16,997
[Carrie] Samantha demanded
nothing less
than the same consideration
501
00:21:17,005 --> 00:21:19,005
given every other model in town.
502
00:21:22,014 --> 00:21:24,014
[telephone rings]
503
00:21:27,013 --> 00:21:28,023
Hello.
504
00:21:28,017 --> 00:21:30,007
[Stanford] Carrie,
it's Stanford.
505
00:21:30,015 --> 00:21:33,015
Do you have any idea what
happened to Derek last night?
506
00:21:33,020 --> 00:21:35,010
[Carrie] Actually,
507
00:21:35,007 --> 00:21:37,007
you'll never believe it, but...
508
00:21:37,007 --> 00:21:38,007
[Stanford] Yes?
509
00:21:39,023 --> 00:21:41,013
[whispering] It's Stanford.
510
00:21:46,003 --> 00:21:47,003
Hi, Stanford.
511
00:21:47,015 --> 00:21:49,005
Uh, uh, Derek?
512
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:51,020
Could you put Carrie
back on the phone?
513
00:21:52,001 --> 00:21:53,001
Sure.
514
00:21:56,012 --> 00:21:57,012
Hello.
515
00:21:57,014 --> 00:21:59,004
[Stanford] How could you?
516
00:21:59,009 --> 00:22:00,019
I didn't.
517
00:22:00,022 --> 00:22:02,012
We just talked.
518
00:22:02,016 --> 00:22:04,016
Oh, I knew he was gay.
519
00:22:11,015 --> 00:22:13,015
It's amazing what you'll do
to be with these models.
520
00:22:14,005 --> 00:22:15,015
I've got to retire soon.
521
00:22:16,002 --> 00:22:17,022
They keep me
from getting work done.
522
00:22:17,023 --> 00:22:19,013
They make me fuck up my life.
523
00:22:19,015 --> 00:22:20,015
Look at me!
524
00:22:20,023 --> 00:22:22,023
I'm an old man at 34!
525
00:22:27,006 --> 00:22:29,006
[Carrie] I began to realize
that being beautiful
526
00:22:29,016 --> 00:22:32,996
is like having a rent-controlled
apartment overlooking the park,
527
00:22:33,003 --> 00:22:35,023
completely unfair,
and usually bestowed
528
00:22:35,019 --> 00:22:37,019
upon those who deserve it least.
529
00:22:38,006 --> 00:22:40,006
I'm not interrupting
your work, am I?
530
00:22:40,015 --> 00:22:42,015
Hey, what a surprise.
531
00:22:42,019 --> 00:22:44,009
I can't stay.
I'm late for a meeting,
532
00:22:44,015 --> 00:22:46,015
but I've been thinking about
that article you're writing,
533
00:22:47,001 --> 00:22:48,011
about men who date models.
534
00:22:48,011 --> 00:22:50,001
Yeah, what about them?
535
00:22:50,003 --> 00:22:51,013
First of all,
536
00:22:51,019 --> 00:22:54,019
there are so many
goddamn gorgeous women
out there in this city.
537
00:22:55,011 --> 00:22:57,011
What an amazing observation.
538
00:22:59,010 --> 00:23:01,000
But the thing is this,
539
00:23:01,021 --> 00:23:03,001
after a while,
540
00:23:03,019 --> 00:23:06,009
you just want to be with the one
that makes you laugh.
541
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:09,010
Know what I mean?
542
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:16,020
Okay.
543
00:23:17,017 --> 00:23:18,017
See ya.
544
00:23:29,008 --> 00:23:30,018
[Carrie] I take that back...
545
00:23:30,018 --> 00:23:33,008
beauty is fleeting,
546
00:23:33,009 --> 00:23:35,019
but a rent-controlled apartment
overlooking the park
547
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:37,000
is forever.
