[Carrie]
Every morning,
2
00:00:57,917 --> 00:01:00,457
millions of New Yorkers
leave their crowded apartments
3
00:01:00,542 --> 00:01:02,462
and head out to the even
more crowded streets
4
00:01:02,542 --> 00:01:03,792
on their way to work.
5
00:01:03,875 --> 00:01:05,875
Today, I was one of them.
6
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,329
Sometimes a girl
just needs a new start.
7
00:01:08,417 --> 00:01:10,327
I had a new do,
a new mortgage,
8
00:01:10,417 --> 00:01:12,247
and therefore, a new job.
9
00:01:14,834 --> 00:01:17,044
I had just submitted
my first freelance article
10
00:01:17,125 --> 00:01:20,205
for one of the most relevant
and provocative magazines
11
00:01:20,291 --> 00:01:24,961
on the newsstands today,
at least to me... Vogue,
12
00:01:25,041 --> 00:01:28,751
also known as Mecca,
where I belonged.
13
00:01:28,834 --> 00:01:29,964
This isn't Vogue.
14
00:01:31,333 --> 00:01:33,253
Oh, you didn't like it?
15
00:01:33,333 --> 00:01:34,883
No, no one is saying that.
16
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:35,919
Well, I am, I'll say it.
17
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:37,080
I didn't like it,
there, I said it.
18
00:01:37,166 --> 00:01:39,706
No, what Enid is trying
to say, Carrie,
19
00:01:39,792 --> 00:01:41,672
is that you wrote
a wonderful first draft--
20
00:01:41,750 --> 00:01:43,580
-It isn't Vogue.
- [Carrie] There it was,
21
00:01:43,667 --> 00:01:45,877
the article I'd put
my heart and soul into.
22
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:47,329
And it was bleeding.
23
00:01:47,417 --> 00:01:49,577
Your spin on the idea,
Carrie, is very clever.
24
00:01:49,667 --> 00:01:51,957
Different types of men as
the new accessories for fall.
25
00:01:52,041 --> 00:01:54,831
A, uh, Prada--
[laughs]
26
00:01:54,917 --> 00:01:57,707
A Prada dress should always
be worn
27
00:01:57,792 --> 00:01:58,792
with an investment banker.
28
00:01:58,875 --> 00:01:59,995
I mean, that's wonderful.
29
00:02:00,083 --> 00:02:03,133
Julian, the assignment
was 500 words on accessories,
30
00:02:03,208 --> 00:02:04,378
not men.
31
00:02:04,458 --> 00:02:06,998
And I'm not convinced she knows
anything about purses,
32
00:02:07,083 --> 00:02:08,583
or for that matter, men.
33
00:02:08,667 --> 00:02:10,327
Enid, for the love of God.
34
00:02:10,417 --> 00:02:11,957
Ms. Bradshaw,
what you've handed us here
35
00:02:12,041 --> 00:02:14,831
is essentially just
your newspaper column
36
00:02:14,917 --> 00:02:18,037
with the word "style" jammed in
where the word "sex" used to be.
37
00:02:18,125 --> 00:02:20,785
We're not looking for Vogue
according to your agenda.
38
00:02:20,875 --> 00:02:22,375
No one cares
about your agenda.
39
00:02:22,458 --> 00:02:24,038
-That's not true.
-Oh, forgive me,
40
00:02:24,125 --> 00:02:26,075
I don't care about your agenda.
41
00:02:26,166 --> 00:02:27,536
I care about designers,
42
00:02:27,625 --> 00:02:30,575
Oscar de la Renta,
Chanel, Dior.
43
00:02:30,667 --> 00:02:33,457
I want less Carrie Bradshaw,
44
00:02:33,542 --> 00:02:36,002
and more "carry" this bag
with these shoes,
45
00:02:36,083 --> 00:02:37,133
do you see what I mean?
46
00:02:37,208 --> 00:02:38,998
You're a writer,
you should be writing this down.
47
00:02:39,083 --> 00:02:41,963
I was trying to find
a way to introduce the bags
48
00:02:42,041 --> 00:02:44,171
and the bracelets
with a little humor.
49
00:02:44,250 --> 00:02:46,750
Kind of
"men are the new black."
50
00:02:46,834 --> 00:02:48,294
[Julian chuckles]
51
00:02:49,291 --> 00:02:50,751
It was supposed to be funny.
52
00:02:50,834 --> 00:02:52,214
It was supposed to be bags.
53
00:02:53,208 --> 00:02:56,458
Well, I didn't really...
54
00:02:56,542 --> 00:02:58,962
bring a writing... [groans]
55
00:03:00,291 --> 00:03:02,831
Okay, bags.
56
00:03:02,917 --> 00:03:04,417
[Carrie] An hour later,
57
00:03:04,500 --> 00:03:06,380
-Enid had to leave
for a lunch date...
-[Billie Holiday CD playing]
58
00:03:06,458 --> 00:03:09,038
...presumably to devour
another writer.
59
00:03:09,125 --> 00:03:10,825
[Julian]
Don't let Enid get to you.
60
00:03:10,917 --> 00:03:12,167
She just came
back from Paris
61
00:03:12,250 --> 00:03:14,790
and apparently humor and irony
are "out" this season.

in more pain
than you right now.

-Come on, cookie, chin up.
-[laughs softly]
67
00:03:28,125 --> 00:03:30,075
In publishing,
you need two things,
68
00:03:30,667 --> 00:03:32,287
a tough hide...
69
00:03:33,375 --> 00:03:35,375
and a dry martini.
70
00:03:35,458 --> 00:03:36,708
Martinis in the morning?
71
00:03:36,792 --> 00:03:38,422
Is this allowed?
72
00:03:38,500 --> 00:03:39,460
Is it Vogue?
73
00:03:39,542 --> 00:03:41,882
Only in absolute emergencies.
74
00:03:41,959 --> 00:03:43,959
Last time I broke this out
was when I heard
75
00:03:44,041 --> 00:03:46,791
that "fun fur"
was making a comeback.
76
00:03:46,875 --> 00:03:48,325

Oh, look at this mess...

00:03:54,417 --> 00:03:56,077
Why was I even hired?
79
00:03:56,166 --> 00:03:59,036
Well, I'm afraid you have
me to blame for that.
80
00:03:59,125 --> 00:04:02,575
My daughter introduced me
to your column about a year ago.
81
00:04:02,667 --> 00:04:04,417
I thought you'd be
a natural at Vogue.
82
00:04:04,500 --> 00:04:06,420
Well, I guess
you thought wrong.
83
00:04:06,500 --> 00:04:08,040
I haven't been wrong yet.
84
00:04:08,125 --> 00:04:09,915
Vogue is all about vision,
and you, cookie,
85
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,540
have got vision.
86
00:04:11,625 --> 00:04:13,245
We just have to find a way
to hide your vision
87
00:04:13,333 --> 00:04:14,963
from Enid's vision.
88
00:04:15,041 --> 00:04:17,921
A little less you,
a little more purse.

Yeah, cookie's drunk.

I'm drunk at Vogue.
100

How can anyone get so drunk
on one and a half martinis?
101
00:04:45,625 --> 00:04:47,665
I didn't eat breakfast
and I'm a size two.
102

Which should make me
perfect for Vogue,

Well, what if I want
to celebrate it?

celebration enough.

Is a three-way
with a 21-year-old
161
00:07:06,333 --> 00:07:08,253
a bad idea
for Richard's birthday?
162
00:07:08,333 --> 00:07:09,883
What are you gonna
get him next year, a four-way?
163
00:07:09,959 --> 00:07:11,039
Look, he doesn't
want to be monogamous.
164
00:07:11,125 --> 00:07:12,705
So, either cheat
with me or without me.
165
00:07:12,792 --> 00:07:14,382
Well, happy birthday to you.
166
00:07:14,458 --> 00:07:15,918
It's not like he asked me
to get him a hooker.
167
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:17,290
These are the options!
168
00:07:17,375 --> 00:07:18,415
It's someone we know,
169
00:07:18,500 --> 00:07:20,750
and at least this way
I'm part of the fantasy.
170
00:07:20,834 --> 00:07:23,134
Yeah, the fantasy being
that he's attracted
171
00:07:23,208 --> 00:07:25,038
to someone young enough
to be his daughter.
172
00:07:25,125 --> 00:07:26,575
He is, Charlotte!
That's the problem.
173

Richard's in his fucking prime.

as they get older

to Vogue shoppers.
179
00:07:40,834 --> 00:07:42,714
Just be careful, Samantha.
180
00:07:42,792 --> 00:07:45,462
When a man has a fantasy
and you fulfill it,
181
00:07:45,542 --> 00:07:47,962
there's always the chance that
the relationship could blow up
182
00:07:48,041 --> 00:07:49,251
and then you're just the idiot
183
00:07:49,333 --> 00:07:51,963
who did it with him
on the golf course,
or something.
184
00:07:52,041 --> 00:07:52,791
Was it you and Trey?
185
00:07:52,875 --> 00:07:55,035
No, no, it's
a "for instance."
186
00:07:55,125 --> 00:07:56,285
[Miranda] Sorry I'm late,
187
00:07:56,375 --> 00:07:58,535
I was shopping for a stroller.
188
00:07:58,625 --> 00:07:59,785
I shouldn't even be here.
189
00:07:59,875 --> 00:08:01,825
I should be out doing all
the things I'm supposed to do
190
00:08:01,917 --> 00:08:02,917
before the baby comes,
191
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,210
and I'm unable to leave
my apartment ever again.
192
00:08:05,291 --> 00:08:07,381
Like what, Ju Jitsu
and off-track betting?
193
00:08:07,458 --> 00:08:08,958
Like buying a crib.
194
00:08:09,041 --> 00:08:11,041
-Oh.
-Evidently, I'm to go
to Crib World,
195
00:08:11,125 --> 00:08:12,785
because it's a whole
world of cribs.
196
00:08:12,875 --> 00:08:14,785
I guess Crib City
wasn't big enough.
197
00:08:14,875 --> 00:08:17,535
Why isn't there a store called
"This Is The Crib For You"?
198
00:08:17,625 --> 00:08:19,035
And they just have
one great crib,
199
00:08:19,125 --> 00:08:20,495
and they deliver it,
and assemble it,
200
00:08:20,583 --> 00:08:21,793
and help you
raise your child.
201
00:08:21,875 --> 00:08:22,995
You don't have a crib yet?
202
00:08:23,083 --> 00:08:25,423
No, Charlotte,
I have a job instead.
203
00:08:25,500 --> 00:08:27,960
I'm sorry, but when
am I supposed to find time
204
00:08:28,041 --> 00:08:29,171
to prepare for this baby?
205
00:08:29,250 --> 00:08:31,710
I don't have a vague idea
how I'm gonna do any of this.
206
00:08:31,792 --> 00:08:33,882
Well, I don't have
a Vogue idea, so, hello.
207
00:08:33,959 --> 00:08:35,329
Why don't you let
ol' one ball help you?
208
00:08:35,417 --> 00:08:36,707
Yeah, I tried that,
209
00:08:36,792 --> 00:08:39,632
and he starts acting
all father-figure,
and I get territorial,
210
00:08:39,709 --> 00:08:42,289
and the salespeople
get confused, and trust me,
211
00:08:42,375 --> 00:08:43,995
it's too complicated
for Crib World.
212
00:08:44,083 --> 00:08:47,043
Let me help you.
I mean, I know you said
you didn't want a baby shower,
213
00:08:47,125 --> 00:08:48,665
but it's not too late
to change your mind.
214
00:08:48,750 --> 00:08:50,210
-I hate baby showers.
-[Samantha] Ugh...
215
00:08:50,291 --> 00:08:51,041
Who doesn't?
216
00:08:51,125 --> 00:08:52,575
The games,
the finger sandwiches,
217
00:08:52,667 --> 00:08:54,497
all that enforced
"ooh-ing" and "ah-ing."
218
00:08:54,583 --> 00:08:56,713
I don't "ooh" and "ah,"
I don't care
who's having a baby.
219
00:08:56,792 --> 00:08:58,002
[Charlotte]
But think of the gifts.
220
00:08:58,083 --> 00:09:00,333
It would be a great way
to get all the stuff you need.
221
00:09:00,417 --> 00:09:01,537
Without having
to go to Crib World.
222
00:09:01,625 --> 00:09:03,285
But who would I invite
besides you guys?
223
00:09:03,375 --> 00:09:05,325
All the bitches
that made you go to theirs.
224
00:09:05,417 --> 00:09:06,707
-Hm.
-Well, it's your shower.
225
00:09:06,792 --> 00:09:09,752
And you can invite or not invite
whoever you choose.
226
00:09:09,834 --> 00:09:11,714
Would you really want
to throw me a baby shower
227
00:09:11,792 --> 00:09:14,542
after all you've
been through this year?
228
00:09:14,625 --> 00:09:17,955
Yeah, I think
it would be good for me.
229
00:09:19,542 --> 00:09:23,212
Okay, but no
cutesy-storky shit.
230
00:09:23,291 --> 00:09:24,211
Just an adult,
231
00:09:24,291 --> 00:09:25,711
dignified lunch with presents.
232
00:09:25,792 --> 00:09:27,962
Which I will open
after everyone leaves.
233
00:09:28,041 --> 00:09:29,541
You have to open the presents.
234
00:09:29,625 --> 00:09:33,415
No opening of presents,
no games, no crustless bread.
235
00:09:33,500 --> 00:09:35,000
And I want fried chicken.
236
00:09:35,083 --> 00:09:37,543
Fried chicken?
But it's not Super Bowl Sunday.
237
00:09:37,625 --> 00:09:40,535
It's my shower
and I'll fry if I want to.
238
00:09:40,625 --> 00:09:42,245
-[Miranda laughs]
-What should we do for our gift?
239
00:09:42,333 --> 00:09:45,923
Let's just stick
to the registry, three-way.
240
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:47,790
[Carrie]
The next day, Charlotte decided
241
00:09:47,875 --> 00:09:50,075
if she was going to
host a baby shower,
242
00:09:50,166 --> 00:09:51,576
she should hide the evidence
243
00:09:51,667 --> 00:09:54,287
that she had wanted
one of her own.
244
00:09:59,333 --> 00:10:00,673
Later that week,
245
00:10:00,750 --> 00:10:03,750
I had a meal with
the perfect dinner accessory...
Julian.
246
00:10:03,834 --> 00:10:05,584
So, my wife is
a former dancer.
247
00:10:05,667 --> 00:10:07,247
She was with
the Martha Graham Company.
248
00:10:07,333 --> 00:10:08,963
And the first time
I saw her on stage
249
00:10:09,041 --> 00:10:11,421
I fell in love with her.
250
00:10:11,500 --> 00:10:13,250
She pliéd, and I plotzed.
251
00:10:13,333 --> 00:10:14,963
[Carrie and Julian laugh]
252
00:10:16,458 --> 00:10:18,328
It'll be 24 years
next September.
253
00:10:18,417 --> 00:10:20,127
So, you got married
right out of grade school.
254
00:10:20,208 --> 00:10:24,578
I knew there was something
about you that I liked. Mm.
255
00:10:24,667 --> 00:10:26,127
What about your life?
256
00:10:26,208 --> 00:10:28,418
Is there a man in your life?
Is it a great love?
257
00:10:29,667 --> 00:10:31,077
Um...
258
00:10:31,166 --> 00:10:33,876
Nah, I just broke up
with somebody.
259
00:10:33,959 --> 00:10:40,039
And yes, it was a great love.
260
00:10:40,125 --> 00:10:43,205
But, he went there.
261
00:10:43,291 --> 00:10:44,461
I went there.
262
00:10:44,542 --> 00:10:45,582
And there you have it.
263
00:10:47,542 --> 00:10:51,212
So, Julian, the reason that
I asked you to dinner tonight...
264
00:10:51,291 --> 00:10:52,711
Is because you knew
I would pay?
265
00:10:52,792 --> 00:10:53,882
Besides that...
266
00:10:53,959 --> 00:10:57,169
Um, I wanted to tell you
that I really appreciate
267
00:10:57,250 --> 00:10:58,920
your interest in my article,
268
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,790
but I've decided
not to finish it.
269
00:11:01,875 --> 00:11:03,325
So, what are you gonna do,
you're just gonna quit?
270
00:11:03,417 --> 00:11:05,877
No, no, no, I don't
let my kids quit.
271
00:11:05,959 --> 00:11:07,129
Well, technically,
I'm not one of your kids,
272
00:11:07,208 --> 00:11:09,748
I'm just a girl
you get drunk sometimes.
273
00:11:09,834 --> 00:11:11,674
Alright, forget about me...
274
00:11:11,750 --> 00:11:13,790
What would your father say
about you quitting?
275
00:11:13,875 --> 00:11:16,205
Well, my father wouldn't
have a whole lot
to say about quitting.
276
00:11:16,291 --> 00:11:18,251
He quit my mother and me
when I was little.
277
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:19,920
I'm sorry.
278
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:21,670
Oh, thanks, no,
I mean, a long time ago,
279
00:11:21,750 --> 00:11:23,790
-I was five.
-Why'd he leave?
280
00:11:24,750 --> 00:11:26,750
No idea, never said.
281
00:11:27,834 --> 00:11:30,544
And that's the name
of that tune.
282
00:11:30,625 --> 00:11:32,625
Hmm...
283
00:11:34,875 --> 00:11:38,375
-What?
-No, no, it's interesting.
284
00:11:38,458 --> 00:11:39,998
Your father leaves
without any answers,
285
00:11:40,083 --> 00:11:42,253
and you spend your life
asking questions about men.
286
00:11:44,250 --> 00:11:47,540
Well, it's 20 years of analysis,
forgive me?
287
00:11:47,625 --> 00:11:49,125
-Yes.
-Okay, Vogue.
288
00:11:49,208 --> 00:11:50,078
Vogue?
289
00:11:50,166 --> 00:11:51,206
What if I could fix it
290
00:11:51,291 --> 00:11:52,381
so that you only deal with me
291
00:11:52,458 --> 00:11:54,208
and Enid spends less time
hating your writing
292
00:11:54,291 --> 00:11:56,251
and more time hating
Tom Ford's line, hmm?
293
00:11:56,333 --> 00:11:58,333
[sighs] Julian...
294
00:11:58,417 --> 00:12:00,667
Oh, come on, cookie,
you're no quitter
295
00:12:00,750 --> 00:12:02,130
and we get to work
on this together,
296
00:12:02,208 --> 00:12:03,878
what do ya say?
297
00:12:03,959 --> 00:12:05,629
Why are you being so sweet?
298
00:12:05,709 --> 00:12:07,289
Martini guilt.
299
00:12:07,375 --> 00:12:08,745
[Carrie laughs]
300
00:12:08,834 --> 00:12:12,544
[Carrie] Later that night,
I got to thinking
about fathers,
301
00:12:12,625 --> 00:12:14,705
or the lack of them.
Some say
302
00:12:14,792 --> 00:12:16,542
a daughter's
relationship with her father
303
00:12:16,625 --> 00:12:20,075
is the model
for all her subsequent
relationships with men.
304
00:12:20,166 --> 00:12:21,496
Is that just
"pop" psychology,
305
00:12:21,583 --> 00:12:23,833
or is there some truth to it?
306
00:12:23,917 --> 00:12:26,207
And if you were given
a less than perfect model,
307
00:12:26,291 --> 00:12:29,211
does it mean a life of
less than perfect
relationships?
308
00:12:29,291 --> 00:12:31,081
I couldn't help but wonder...
309
00:12:31,166 --> 00:12:34,746
How much does
a father-figure figure?
310
00:12:34,834 --> 00:12:37,084
Gentlemen,
I understand your concern,
311
00:12:37,166 --> 00:12:39,246
but I'm looking at
the contract right now--
312
00:12:39,333 --> 00:12:40,753
[beeping]
313
00:12:40,834 --> 00:12:43,544
I'm sorry, could you
hold for a moment?
314
00:12:43,625 --> 00:12:45,455
I'm on a conference call here.
315
00:12:45,542 --> 00:12:48,332
[woman] Charlotte York
says it's an emergency.
316
00:12:48,417 --> 00:12:50,417
[sighs]
317
00:12:50,500 --> 00:12:51,960
Charlotte, what's wrong,
are you okay?
318
00:12:52,041 --> 00:12:54,251
I'm fine, I'm just
looking over your registry
319
00:12:54,333 --> 00:12:55,963
and there are some things
you forgot to include.
320
00:12:56,041 --> 00:12:57,171
Like a Manhattan Whozit.
321
00:12:57,250 --> 00:12:58,830
-A what?
-It's a learning toy.
322
00:12:58,917 --> 00:13:00,577
Active toys make
for passive children.
323
00:13:00,667 --> 00:13:02,127
There's a whole philosophy
behind it.
324
00:13:02,208 --> 00:13:03,378
I don't have time
for philosophy.
325
00:13:03,458 --> 00:13:05,708
I'm on a conference call
with our London Office.
326
00:13:05,792 --> 00:13:07,502
What about a Peek-A-Ball?
Peek-A-Ball!
327
00:13:07,583 --> 00:13:08,713
Peek-A-Ball, Miranda!
328
00:13:08,792 --> 00:13:10,332
Jesus, Charlotte,
I have to get back.
329
00:13:10,417 --> 00:13:11,377
Just one more quick thing.
330
00:13:11,458 --> 00:13:12,708
I know you said
no storks,
331
00:13:12,792 --> 00:13:14,962
but I saw the most gorgeous
centerpiece in the shape of a--
332
00:13:15,041 --> 00:13:15,921
I'm at work!
333
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,460
Well, we have
to order it by noon.
334
00:13:17,542 --> 00:13:20,542
Now, its feathers
are white Fiji mums...
335
00:13:20,625 --> 00:13:21,625
What did I say?
336
00:13:21,709 --> 00:13:23,039
No storks, but these people
are giving you
337
00:13:23,125 --> 00:13:25,955
expensive gifts
and they're gonna want
to see a little baby.
338
00:13:26,041 --> 00:13:29,131
No storks, no present opening,
no cutesy baby stuff.
339
00:13:29,208 --> 00:13:30,128
We agreed!
340
00:13:30,208 --> 00:13:31,628
What about
a marzipan baby carriage?
341
00:13:31,709 --> 00:13:34,879
-Charlotte!
-It has a white chocolate
peanut butter baby inside
342
00:13:34,959 --> 00:13:36,539
and you can
eat the baby.
343
00:13:37,917 --> 00:13:41,627
Miranda? Miranda!
344
00:13:41,709 --> 00:13:42,789
[Carrie] The next day,
345
00:13:42,875 --> 00:13:46,535
Samantha made a conference call
of her own.
346
00:13:46,625 --> 00:13:47,785
Ms. Jones, welcome.
347
00:13:47,875 --> 00:13:49,625
Will Mr. Wright
be joining you for lunch?
348
00:13:49,709 --> 00:13:50,629
No, actually,
349
00:13:50,709 --> 00:13:52,959
it's Richard's birthday
this weekend,
350
00:13:53,041 --> 00:13:56,331
and I'm trying to put together
a little celebration for him.
351
00:13:56,417 --> 00:13:58,957
Certainly,
would you like to reserve
one of our banquet rooms or--
352
00:13:59,041 --> 00:14:01,001
Oh, that won't be necessary.
353
00:14:01,083 --> 00:14:03,043
It's a very small party,
354
00:14:03,125 --> 00:14:04,165
a very small,
355
00:14:04,250 --> 00:14:06,500
private party...
of three.
356
00:14:06,583 --> 00:14:08,213
Just Richard,
357
00:14:08,291 --> 00:14:10,251
myself, and a third...
358
00:14:11,417 --> 00:14:13,037
If you have any openings.
359
00:14:13,125 --> 00:14:15,205
[inhales] I'm wide open.
360
00:14:15,291 --> 00:14:17,081
Lucky me. [laughs]
361
00:14:17,166 --> 00:14:20,166
[Carrie]
And now that Charlotte's house
was ready for the baby shower,
362
00:14:20,250 --> 00:14:22,420
she wanted to make sure
Miranda's house
363
00:14:22,500 --> 00:14:23,500
was ready for the baby.
364
00:14:23,583 --> 00:14:26,833
So, the bassinet can go
over here, by the bed.
365
00:14:26,917 --> 00:14:28,247
-Uh-huh.
-So, when you have to
366
00:14:28,333 --> 00:14:29,503
get up for feedings,
he's right there. See?
367
00:14:29,583 --> 00:14:30,633
-Yeah.
-Unless you're
368
00:14:30,709 --> 00:14:32,749
planning to have him
sleep in the bed with you.
369
00:14:32,834 --> 00:14:35,254
-Can't I go to jail for that?
-No,
370
00:14:35,333 --> 00:14:37,083
in fact, many cultures
believe that it's safer
371
00:14:37,166 --> 00:14:38,956
for the baby's breathing.
372
00:14:39,041 --> 00:14:40,921
Although you do
run the risk of rolling over
373
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,170
and smooshing him in your sleep.
But that almost never happens.
374
00:14:43,250 --> 00:14:44,250
But, almost isn't never,
375
00:14:44,333 --> 00:14:45,793
so, if you want to err
on the side of safety--
376
00:14:45,875 --> 00:14:48,375
Um, I'll just put him
in the thing.
377
00:14:48,458 --> 00:14:49,708
-The bassinet.
-Yeah.
378
00:14:49,792 --> 00:14:51,172
-Great!
-[laughs]
379
00:14:51,250 --> 00:14:55,210
And then when he's big enough,
you can put the crib here.
380
00:14:55,291 --> 00:14:56,541
Is that what you were thinking?
381
00:14:56,625 --> 00:14:58,535
Oh, I hadn't thought
about that yet.
382
00:14:58,625 --> 00:14:59,495
Well, you need to start
383
00:14:59,583 --> 00:15:00,543
thinking about these things,
384
00:15:00,625 --> 00:15:02,325
'cause there are
a million questions to answer
385
00:15:02,417 --> 00:15:04,037
before the baby
ever gets here.
386
00:15:04,125 --> 00:15:05,285
Do you have a birthing plan?
387
00:15:05,375 --> 00:15:07,325
Do you know what kind
of a mother you want to be?
388
00:15:07,417 --> 00:15:10,497
Yes, I plan to be a...
good mother!
389
00:15:10,583 --> 00:15:13,423
But a marsupial mom
or a stroller mom?
390
00:15:13,500 --> 00:15:15,880
Will you be breast-feeding
or bottle-feeding?
391
00:15:15,959 --> 00:15:17,579
And what about
baby-proofing?
392
00:15:17,667 --> 00:15:20,167
'Cause with all
the sharp edges around here,
393
00:15:20,250 --> 00:15:22,500
I mean, this place
is a deathtrap.
394
00:15:22,583 --> 00:15:24,963
Okay, you need to back off.
395
00:15:25,041 --> 00:15:26,001
I'm just trying to help.
396
00:15:26,083 --> 00:15:27,423
This is your idea
of helping?
397
00:15:27,500 --> 00:15:29,750
Pointing out all the things
I do badly?
398
00:15:29,834 --> 00:15:30,924
I'm not pointing out--
399
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:32,170
Yes, you are.
400
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,130
You need to try to let
other people in a little,
401
00:15:37,208 --> 00:15:38,708
because once
you have that baby,
402
00:15:38,792 --> 00:15:40,042
it's not just you anymore.
403
00:15:40,125 --> 00:15:42,705
You're not gonna be able
to control everything.
404
00:15:42,792 --> 00:15:45,332
Look, I just want
to enjoy the fried chicken
405
00:15:45,417 --> 00:15:46,667
and be done with it.
406
00:15:46,750 --> 00:15:48,250
Oh, um...
407
00:15:48,333 --> 00:15:51,003
Well, I had to re-think
the fried chicken.
408
00:15:51,083 --> 00:15:53,083
'Cause you're the only one
who wanted all that breading,
409
00:15:53,166 --> 00:15:55,076
so instead,
we're having mesclun greens
410
00:15:55,166 --> 00:15:57,246
and a lovely puttanesca.
411
00:15:57,333 --> 00:15:59,423
With a Fiji mum centerpiece.
412
00:15:59,500 --> 00:16:01,460
A Fiji mum stork centerpiece?
413
00:16:01,542 --> 00:16:03,382
One stork, I think
you can deal with one stork.
414
00:16:03,458 --> 00:16:04,998
Two storks,
I saw the invitation.
415
00:16:05,083 --> 00:16:06,293
There's a stork
on the invitation.
416
00:16:06,375 --> 00:16:08,455
That's not a stork,
that is a duck.
417
00:16:08,542 --> 00:16:11,712
And that duck is smoking
an "it's a boy" cigar.
418
00:16:11,792 --> 00:16:12,832
That duck's not for children.
419
00:16:12,917 --> 00:16:14,997
That duck is fucked,
this whole shower is fucked!
420
00:16:15,083 --> 00:16:17,173
You can't have a shower
without some baby stuff.
421
00:16:17,250 --> 00:16:19,670
You keep this up, you're gonna
have a shower without a mommy!
422
00:16:19,750 --> 00:16:21,750
-Fine!
-Fine!
423
00:16:23,667 --> 00:16:25,627
Miranda, you better show up!
424
00:16:25,709 --> 00:16:27,999
I am not getting stuck
with a bunch of lawyers,
425
00:16:28,083 --> 00:16:29,383
who, if they're
anything like you,
426
00:16:29,458 --> 00:16:32,128
won't even appreciate
a beautiful puttanesca!
427
00:16:32,208 --> 00:16:34,998
Watch out for the sharp edges!
428
00:16:37,959 --> 00:16:39,959
Thanks for coming down
and talking.
429
00:16:40,041 --> 00:16:41,211
Well, I really
didn't have a choice.
430
00:16:41,291 --> 00:16:42,541
You couldn't make it
up the stairs.
431
00:16:42,625 --> 00:16:44,245
[Miranda groans]
432
00:16:44,333 --> 00:16:45,423
-There.
-[groans]
433
00:16:45,500 --> 00:16:46,420
You feel better?
434
00:16:46,500 --> 00:16:49,040
The back, yes,
the other stuff, no.
435
00:16:49,125 --> 00:16:50,825
I'm gonna be
a terrible mother.
436
00:16:50,917 --> 00:16:52,667
-Miranda...
-I am.
437
00:16:52,750 --> 00:16:54,960
I have no maternal instincts,
no patience.
438
00:16:55,041 --> 00:16:56,671
The way I yelled
at Charlotte.
439
00:16:56,750 --> 00:16:59,750
She was just trying to point out
what needed to be child-proofed.
440
00:17:01,041 --> 00:17:03,041
-Oh, my God.
-What?
441
00:17:03,125 --> 00:17:05,455
I'm what needs
to be child-proofed.
442
00:17:06,709 --> 00:17:07,829
You want to quit?
443
00:17:07,917 --> 00:17:09,627
Come on, I'll quit the magazine,
you quit the baby.
444
00:17:09,709 --> 00:17:13,789
We'll be two quitters,
we'll live happily ever after.
445
00:17:13,875 --> 00:17:15,165
Can I tell you a secret?
446
00:17:15,250 --> 00:17:17,330
You're not really pregnant,
it's water weight?
447
00:17:17,417 --> 00:17:19,497
I dropped my niece on her head.
448
00:17:19,583 --> 00:17:23,003
I was babysitting
when I was 13 and I got bored.
449
00:17:23,083 --> 00:17:24,463
I got bored, Carrie!
450
00:17:24,542 --> 00:17:27,542
I was doing my homework,
she slid down the couch.
451
00:17:27,625 --> 00:17:28,665
Two stitches.
452
00:17:28,750 --> 00:17:31,380
Get off my stoop.
453
00:17:31,458 --> 00:17:34,628
[laughing] How is this kid
ever gonna make it?
454
00:17:34,709 --> 00:17:37,209
A type-A mother
who works 50 hours a week
455
00:17:37,291 --> 00:17:38,581
and no father figure.
456
00:17:38,667 --> 00:17:40,707
He has a father figure.
457
00:17:40,792 --> 00:17:41,832
Steve.
458
00:17:41,917 --> 00:17:42,957
I meant you.
459
00:17:43,041 --> 00:17:44,961
[laughs] Oh, really?
460
00:17:45,041 --> 00:17:47,421
-Yeah.
-I do like those Yankees.
461
00:17:47,500 --> 00:17:49,830
[couple chatting]
462
00:17:54,250 --> 00:17:55,380
Second date,
dinner and a movie.
463
00:17:55,458 --> 00:17:56,998
Yeah, I hate them.
464
00:17:59,041 --> 00:18:00,461
Hey...
465
00:18:00,542 --> 00:18:02,882
Do you think it really
can be as simple
as my father walked out,
466
00:18:02,959 --> 00:18:06,079
therefore, I'll always
be messed up about men?
467
00:18:06,166 --> 00:18:08,826
My father came home every night
at seven on the dot,
468
00:18:08,917 --> 00:18:10,577
and I have no clue
about men either.
469
00:18:10,667 --> 00:18:12,377
-So, it's a crapshoot.
-Mm.
470
00:18:13,500 --> 00:18:15,670
Do I have to go
to my own baby shower?
471
00:18:15,750 --> 00:18:18,330
I RSVP'd to a duck with a cigar.
472
00:18:18,417 --> 00:18:19,917
-All right.
-You're going.
473
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,080
Okay, it's late,
I gotta catch a cab.
474
00:18:22,166 --> 00:18:23,746
Wait, let me get you a forklift.
475
00:18:23,834 --> 00:18:25,044
[Miranda laughs]
476
00:18:26,333 --> 00:18:28,673
-Are you ready?
-Yeah, okay.
477
00:18:28,750 --> 00:18:31,460
Go, go, go, go. Here you go.
478
00:18:32,417 --> 00:18:33,917
-Thank you.
-You did good.
479
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,420
-You, too.
-[Carrie giggles]
480
00:18:35,500 --> 00:18:36,500
[Carrie] The next day,
481
00:18:36,583 --> 00:18:38,753
Miranda decided not
to duck her own shower.
482
00:18:38,834 --> 00:18:40,134
Hey, you showed up.
483
00:18:40,208 --> 00:18:42,878
Yeah, yeah, bring on
the ladies in hats
484
00:18:42,959 --> 00:18:45,249
and let's get this over with.
485
00:18:45,333 --> 00:18:46,793
Where'd you put all the storks?
486
00:18:46,875 --> 00:18:48,745
Well, you said
you didn't want any storks.
487
00:18:48,834 --> 00:18:50,464
Yeah, I know, but--
488
00:18:50,542 --> 00:18:55,922
[gasping] Charlotte,
what did you do?
489
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:57,830
-Well, it's your shower.
-[gasping]
490
00:18:57,917 --> 00:18:59,577
-[doorbell rings]
-Oh, can you get that?
491
00:18:59,667 --> 00:19:01,077
'Cause I have to get
the rest of the sandwiches.
492
00:19:01,166 --> 00:19:03,956
Which have all of their crusts,
nothing cute.
493
00:19:04,041 --> 00:19:06,631
No ridiculous over-the-top
baby stuff allowed.
494
00:19:06,709 --> 00:19:07,999
Oh!
495
00:19:09,333 --> 00:19:11,293
-Hey, mama!
-Why are you opening the door?
496
00:19:11,375 --> 00:19:12,955
Aren't you supposed
to be sitting on a lily pad
497
00:19:13,041 --> 00:19:14,211
being worshipped?
498
00:19:14,291 --> 00:19:15,831
What is that?
499
00:19:15,917 --> 00:19:19,247
It's a four-tiered baby cake
made entirely of diapers.
500
00:19:19,333 --> 00:19:20,463
I baked it myself.
501
00:19:20,542 --> 00:19:21,832
We ordered it online.
502
00:19:21,917 --> 00:19:23,167
What am I supposed
to do with it?
503
00:19:23,250 --> 00:19:25,170
How the hell should we know,
didn't you want one?
504
00:19:25,250 --> 00:19:27,130
-No.
-Well, we're not taking it back.
505
00:19:27,208 --> 00:19:29,878
We've already been seen
carrying it down Park Avenue.
506
00:19:29,959 --> 00:19:31,829
-Huh.
-Definitely not Vogue.
507
00:19:31,917 --> 00:19:34,077
Charlotte said
it was the shower gift.
508
00:19:34,166 --> 00:19:37,416
See, I told you
we should've gotten
a massage certificate.
509
00:19:37,500 --> 00:19:41,130
[Carrie] One hour,
two platters of chicken,
and 13 lawyers later,
510
00:19:41,208 --> 00:19:43,248
all talk had turned to babies.
511
00:19:43,333 --> 00:19:44,543
Well, almost all.
512
00:19:44,625 --> 00:19:47,285
She may be 21, but I have
21 years of experience.
513
00:19:47,375 --> 00:19:49,075
I can fuck her under the table.
514
00:19:49,166 --> 00:19:50,376
Well, that's good to know,
515
00:19:50,458 --> 00:19:52,498
because in
a three-way situation,
it could come to that.
516
00:19:52,583 --> 00:19:54,633
Honey, I have tricks
she hasn't even seen.
517
00:19:54,709 --> 00:19:56,169
And those tricks
aren't for kids.
518
00:19:56,250 --> 00:19:58,710
And no matter what happens,
she's just renting him.
519
00:19:58,792 --> 00:19:59,632
I own.
520
00:19:59,709 --> 00:20:00,579
Exactly.
521
00:20:00,667 --> 00:20:03,207
Although, I don't really own.
522
00:20:03,291 --> 00:20:05,171
So, it's more of an illegal
sublet type of thing?
523
00:20:05,250 --> 00:20:07,330
-Yeah.
-Wow. [giggles]
524
00:20:07,417 --> 00:20:11,667
[guests "ooh-ing" and laughing]
525
00:20:11,750 --> 00:20:12,880
It's a breast pump.
526
00:20:12,959 --> 00:20:14,329
-Oh!
-[woman] Well,
527
00:20:14,417 --> 00:20:17,627
you know, I didn't want you
coming to my office to
borrow mine.
528
00:20:17,709 --> 00:20:18,999
[laughter]
529
00:20:19,083 --> 00:20:21,543
You know what, I have to pee.
530
00:20:21,625 --> 00:20:23,575
Oh, no, no,
wait, wait, here.
531
00:20:23,667 --> 00:20:25,627
-You take Charles.
-Oh.
532
00:20:25,709 --> 00:20:27,129
Have fun, Mom.
533
00:20:27,208 --> 00:20:28,538
-[Miranda] Okay.
-[murmurs]
534
00:20:28,625 --> 00:20:30,915
Alright,
keep 'em coming, ladies!
535
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:32,540
-Let's keep the presents comin'!
-[baby crying]
536
00:20:32,625 --> 00:20:34,375
-Miranda!
-Yeah?
537
00:20:34,458 --> 00:20:35,828
Nothing.
538
00:20:37,208 --> 00:20:39,498
[Charlotte]
Something tells me
this one's Tiffany.
539
00:20:39,583 --> 00:20:41,293
-[women] Ooh...
-That's from me.
540
00:20:41,375 --> 00:20:42,415
[all gasping]
541
00:20:42,500 --> 00:20:44,040
Oh...
542
00:20:44,125 --> 00:20:46,785
-That is elegant.
-Oh, my God.
543
00:20:46,875 --> 00:20:48,875
That's exactly
like the rattle Trey gave me
544
00:20:48,959 --> 00:20:52,499
when we first-- [crying]
545
00:20:52,583 --> 00:20:53,673
You okay?
546
00:20:53,750 --> 00:20:55,290
I'm fine, I'm fine.
547
00:20:55,375 --> 00:20:57,285
I'm sorry, everybody.
548
00:20:58,166 --> 00:21:02,076
Excuse me. [crying]
549
00:21:02,166 --> 00:21:04,246
[women murmuring]
550
00:21:04,333 --> 00:21:05,833
What did I do?
551
00:21:10,083 --> 00:21:11,083
Charlotte?
552
00:21:11,166 --> 00:21:13,706
I just need to be
alone right now.
553
00:21:14,375 --> 00:21:15,955
Okay.
554
00:21:16,750 --> 00:21:19,250
Except, you know,
555
00:21:19,333 --> 00:21:22,173
you got 20 people
in the other room.
556
00:21:33,375 --> 00:21:35,125
I'm sorry I ruined your shower.
557
00:21:35,208 --> 00:21:36,328
You didn't.
558
00:21:36,417 --> 00:21:38,077
And there wouldn't even
be a shower to ruin
559
00:21:38,166 --> 00:21:40,376
if it weren't for you.
560
00:21:41,875 --> 00:21:45,075
Look, I know
this is hard.
561
00:21:45,166 --> 00:21:48,246
And I really appreciate
you trying to be okay
562
00:21:48,333 --> 00:21:50,173
with me having this baby.
563
00:21:51,375 --> 00:21:54,285
Because I need you.
[laughs]
564
00:21:54,375 --> 00:21:55,455
I mean, let's face it,
565
00:21:55,542 --> 00:21:58,382
you're the only person
in my life who...
566
00:22:00,041 --> 00:22:02,631
knows how important it is
to have a cake
567
00:22:02,709 --> 00:22:04,749
made entirely out of diapers.
568
00:22:04,834 --> 00:22:06,544
[laughing and sniffling]
569
00:22:06,625 --> 00:22:08,625
There's lotion in there, too.
570
00:22:08,709 --> 00:22:10,499
Oh, yeah?
571
00:22:12,041 --> 00:22:16,751
And baby bottles.
And a receiving blanket.
572
00:22:18,291 --> 00:22:19,791
See?
573
00:22:21,291 --> 00:22:24,251
I would never
have known that.
574
00:22:24,333 --> 00:22:26,253
You would've figured it out.
575
00:22:26,333 --> 00:22:29,003
[Carrie] And just like that,
Miranda realized,
576
00:22:29,083 --> 00:22:31,503
she might be a good
mother figure as well.
577
00:22:31,583 --> 00:22:33,883
[knocking]
578
00:22:35,166 --> 00:22:37,166
Ah, hello?
579
00:22:37,250 --> 00:22:40,250
Somebody better go check on
mommy in the guest bath,
580
00:22:40,333 --> 00:22:43,333
because little Fitz here
has wet himself.
581
00:22:43,417 --> 00:22:45,707
-And myself, I might add.
-Oh...
582
00:22:45,792 --> 00:22:48,632
Well, I happen to have
four tiers of diapers.
583
00:22:48,709 --> 00:22:49,709
-Oh, good.
-Ladies,
584
00:22:49,792 --> 00:22:51,542
can we cut the cake
and get out of here?
585
00:22:51,625 --> 00:22:53,125
I have a three-way
to go to.
586
00:22:53,208 --> 00:22:55,038
-Yeah.
-[baby coos]
587
00:22:55,125 --> 00:22:56,205
That's my earring.
588
00:22:56,291 --> 00:22:58,501
[Carrie] That night,
at the birthday three-way,
589
00:22:58,583 --> 00:23:00,883
Samantha made sure
it happened her way.
590
00:23:00,959 --> 00:23:02,919
Just so we're clear.
591
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,880
Tonight is just
about sex, not love.
592
00:23:06,959 --> 00:23:09,539
So, there will be
no kissing on the mouth.
593
00:23:09,625 --> 00:23:13,165
Richard's lips are off-limits
to anyone but me.
594
00:23:13,250 --> 00:23:14,500
What if he kisses me?
595
00:23:14,583 --> 00:23:15,583
[champagne cork pops]
596
00:23:15,667 --> 00:23:16,827
Who's up for champagne?
597
00:23:16,917 --> 00:23:19,457
I'm up for anything.
598
00:23:26,375 --> 00:23:29,245
[moaning]
599
00:23:33,959 --> 00:23:35,249
Hey!
600
00:23:35,333 --> 00:23:39,713
Easy, Sam, there's more
than enough of me to go around.
601
00:23:39,792 --> 00:23:41,082
You tell her, daddy.
602
00:23:41,166 --> 00:23:43,996
[Carrie]
The one thing Richard
didn't want for his birthday
603
00:23:44,083 --> 00:23:45,633
was to feel older.
604
00:23:45,709 --> 00:23:47,169
Get rid of her.
605
00:23:47,250 --> 00:23:48,250
I'm on it.
606
00:23:48,333 --> 00:23:49,633
Ooh!
607
00:23:50,333 --> 00:23:51,833
Hey!
608
00:23:51,917 --> 00:23:55,167
[Carrie]
It was time for the fledgling
to leave the love-nest.
609
00:23:57,709 --> 00:24:00,329
Anything else you want
for your birthday?
610
00:24:01,458 --> 00:24:03,828
Nah, this is great.
611
00:24:03,917 --> 00:24:05,957
Just you and me.
612
00:24:08,208 --> 00:24:10,328
What about my three-way?
613
00:24:10,417 --> 00:24:13,327
I have a busboy
arriving at midnight.
614
00:24:14,291 --> 00:24:15,331
[sighs]
615
00:24:15,417 --> 00:24:18,497
Seriously, let's try this.
616
00:24:18,583 --> 00:24:20,923
Just you and me,
617
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,040
nobody else.
618
00:24:23,709 --> 00:24:27,459
Oh, okay.
619
00:24:27,542 --> 00:24:30,132
[Carrie]
By giving Richard what
he thought he wanted,
620
00:24:30,208 --> 00:24:33,288
Samantha finally got
what she needed...
621
00:24:33,375 --> 00:24:35,035
Monogamy.
622
00:24:35,125 --> 00:24:37,455
The following night,
with a little after-hours help
623
00:24:37,542 --> 00:24:38,882
from my favorite editor...
624
00:24:38,959 --> 00:24:40,789
I finished the impossible,
625
00:24:40,875 --> 00:24:42,125
my first Vogue piece.
626
00:24:42,208 --> 00:24:45,708
And now, my favorite part
of the writing process...
627
00:24:46,542 --> 00:24:47,792
Print.
628
00:24:47,875 --> 00:24:49,955
Congratulations, cookie.
629
00:24:50,041 --> 00:24:51,291
500 beautifully written words,
630
00:24:51,375 --> 00:24:54,535
and some of them even include
the Carrie Bradshaw agenda,
631
00:24:54,625 --> 00:24:55,995
cleverly hidden, of course.
632
00:24:56,083 --> 00:24:58,463
It's a literary Where's Waldo?
633
00:24:58,542 --> 00:24:59,752
When I finish a new piece,
634
00:24:59,834 --> 00:25:03,174
I usually celebrate by opening
a bottle of Chateau Latour.
635
00:25:03,250 --> 00:25:04,330
How do you celebrate?
636
00:25:04,417 --> 00:25:07,167
By buying shoes and purses.
637
00:25:07,250 --> 00:25:11,290
Well, in that case...
Have you ever heard of
the Vogue accessories closet?
638
00:25:16,542 --> 00:25:17,962
[Carrie] Oh, my God!
639
00:25:19,250 --> 00:25:21,000
It's too good.
640
00:25:21,083 --> 00:25:25,673
I'm sorry, but it's,
oh, it's too good.
641
00:25:25,750 --> 00:25:28,170
Just like a kid
in a couture candy store.
642
00:25:28,250 --> 00:25:30,670
This is too much.
643
00:25:30,750 --> 00:25:32,380
How can this be?
644
00:25:32,458 --> 00:25:35,458
Well, designers send us things,
and we photograph them.
645
00:25:37,583 --> 00:25:38,673
Oh, my God!
646
00:25:38,750 --> 00:25:39,670
Shh, Carrie!
647
00:25:39,750 --> 00:25:41,670
Do you--
Do you know what these are?
648
00:25:41,750 --> 00:25:43,420
We're not even
supposed to be in here.
649
00:25:43,500 --> 00:25:46,920
Manolo Blahnik Mary Janes.
650
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,420
I thought these were
an urban shoe myth.
651
00:25:49,500 --> 00:25:50,830
Now, if you'll excuse me.
652
00:25:50,917 --> 00:25:53,497
I'll be pillaging
the men's side.
653
00:25:53,583 --> 00:25:56,133
Okay, oh, my God!
654
00:25:56,208 --> 00:25:59,538
These are authentic
patent leather.
655
00:25:59,625 --> 00:26:01,205
And if they don't fit,
656
00:26:01,291 --> 00:26:04,171
so help me, I'm gonna
wear them anyway.
657
00:26:04,250 --> 00:26:08,290
Oh... Wow. Well, they--
658
00:26:08,375 --> 00:26:10,375
-They almost fit.
-[Julian] Carrie?
659
00:26:10,458 --> 00:26:11,878
-Yeah?
-Tell me what you think
660
00:26:11,959 --> 00:26:13,459
about these Versaces.
661
00:26:13,542 --> 00:26:15,632
Okay, alright.
662
00:26:17,834 --> 00:26:19,294
Oh.
663
00:26:20,458 --> 00:26:22,038
[gasping] Oh!
664
00:26:22,125 --> 00:26:24,125
-What do you think?
-Oh, my...
665
00:26:24,208 --> 00:26:26,378
Wha-- What are you doing?
666
00:26:26,458 --> 00:26:27,878
I'm just showing you
these briefs.
667
00:26:27,959 --> 00:26:30,789
[laughing] Well, don't!
668
00:26:30,875 --> 00:26:32,415
Julian, pull your pants up.
669
00:26:32,500 --> 00:26:35,380
Oof! Look at you
in those Mary Janes...
670
00:26:35,458 --> 00:26:36,918
Stop!
671
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,920
What happened
to your wife, the dancer?
672
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,080
She's having an affair with
our friend, the chiropractor.
673
00:26:42,166 --> 00:26:43,206
Oh...
674
00:26:43,291 --> 00:26:45,081
-Carrie?
-Wha-- Uh... What?
675
00:26:45,166 --> 00:26:46,416
I find you adorable.
676
00:26:46,500 --> 00:26:48,170
You're old enough
to be my father.
677
00:26:48,250 --> 00:26:51,080
Hardly, would your father
wear Versaces?
678
00:26:51,166 --> 00:26:52,916
Pull your pants up now.
679
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,540
Alright, but, cookie, as someone
who really cares about you,
let me just say,
680
00:26:56,625 --> 00:26:58,875
I think you have some
serious issues with men.
681
00:26:58,959 --> 00:27:00,459
I do right now, yes.
682
00:27:00,542 --> 00:27:02,502
An older man
can help you work through
683
00:27:02,583 --> 00:27:04,753
some of those
father issues, cookie.
684
00:27:04,834 --> 00:27:07,084
Okay, don't "cookie" me, Freud.
685
00:27:07,166 --> 00:27:08,626
Pants up!
686
00:27:08,709 --> 00:27:10,209
Show some respect...
687
00:27:10,291 --> 00:27:11,461
This is Vogue.
688
00:27:11,542 --> 00:27:14,382
[Carrie] Turns out Julian
had an agenda as well,
689
00:27:14,458 --> 00:27:17,498
but it was cleverly hidden,
of course.
690
00:27:17,583 --> 00:27:20,833
From then on, once a month,
when I went to Vogue,
691
00:27:20,917 --> 00:27:23,627
I thought it best to work
exclusively with Enid.
692
00:27:23,709 --> 00:27:25,459
Alright, this new piece
shows improvement,
693
00:27:25,542 --> 00:27:27,332
but still positively
reeks of you.
694
00:27:27,417 --> 00:27:30,877
This magazine doesn't care
what Carrie Bradshaw
has to say about shoes.
695
00:27:30,959 --> 00:27:33,459
What does Carrie Bradshaw
know about shoes?
696
00:27:33,542 --> 00:27:36,082
Enid, with all due respect...
697
00:27:36,166 --> 00:27:38,706
Men, I may not know...
698
00:27:38,792 --> 00:27:40,632
But shoes?
699
00:27:40,709 --> 00:27:42,879
Shoes, I know!
700
00:27:44,291 --> 00:27:47,791
[chuckling]
I'm walking.
701
00:27:47,875 --> 00:27:49,245
Oh, I'm walking.
702
00:27:49,333 --> 00:27:52,213
[Carrie] I admit, it's tempting
to wish for the perfect boss,
703
00:27:52,291 --> 00:27:55,081
or the perfect parent,
or the perfect outfit.
704
00:27:55,166 --> 00:27:57,166
But maybe the best
any of us can do
705
00:27:57,250 --> 00:27:58,420
is not quit,
706
00:27:58,500 --> 00:27:59,920
play the hand
we've been given,
707
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,250
and accessorize
the outfit we've got.
