[restaurant chatter]
[laughs]
[Carrie] After two weeks in Paris,
it was time for the ultimate in sophisticated French fare:
meeting your lover and his ex-wife for lunch.
[upbeat music]
Hello, I'm Juliet.
Juliet Bellajoux.
Hello, I'm Carrie.
It's nice to finally meet you.
-Sit, sit, sit! -Thank you.
Well, if I'm fashionably late,
then Alek is very fashionable.
Yes, he's always very fashionable.
-[Carrie giggles] -What a beautiful bag.
Oh, thank you, it's vintage.
The silk lining's about a hundred million years old but...
I'm so in love with it. [giggles]
We'll get along perfectly.
I represent accessories for the collections.
Wow, Aleks never mentioned what work you did.
-[cell phone ringing] -[Juliet] Sorry.
Ah! Mr. Fashionable.
-Oh. -Allo.
-Oui... -Bonjour, Madame.
[speaking in French]
[replying in French]
[waiter speaking in French]
-Yes. Merci. -[speaking in French]
[speaking in French]
Sincere apologies, crisis at the museum.
Some gigantic technical problem
with sculpture number something.
[laughs]
Nothing else exists when art does. Yes?
Wow, this is a fantastic restaurant.
Yes? It used to be, not so much anymore.
The chairs, they're hideous. Hideous.
[phone ringing]
[woman on phone] Good morning. Chanel.
Chanello!
I'm gonna shoplift
just so he can feel me up.
Okay, I need something simple to wear
for when we meet the birth parents.
Where is this couple from again?
Charlotte, North Carolina.
They're from Charlotte.
-I think it's a good sign. -Love it.
Very TV-movie of the week.
Stylish socialite couple
opens up their Park Avenue home to the dumb, toothless yokels.
[gasping] They're not dumb or toothless.
-In my movie they are. -Hm.
And you'd be played by Barbara Parkins,
circa Valley of the Dolls.
Thank you.
And I'd be played by Colin Farrell.
[inhales] Do you think you look like Colin Farrell?
It's my movie!
So, in your movie...
How big is my part? Bit or supporting?
What?
I'll still be in your life, right?
Because... Once people have the babies--
Stop.
You will always be in my life, Colin Farrell.
Good.
Can you believe this is finally happening?
I hope nothing goes wrong.
Well, if it does I know some gays that got a Guatemalan kid
for like a hundred bucks.
[upbeat music]
A touch of this blonde is going to be perfection.
It's called Ash.
Well, save a little for him
because he is one hot piece of Ash.
[small laugh] Right! [chuckling]
Well?
-Sexy. -Oh.
Very sexy.
-Come here, you. -Ooh... [chuckles]
Please, sir, my hair!
Are we ever going to talk about the fact
that we haven't had sex in a long time?
And you're bringing this up here?
My therapist said not to mention it in bed.
Therapist?
Since when have you been seeing a therapist?
I just thought I should get some help
to deal with all this cancer stuff.
I'm not complaining,
I just think we should talk about it.
Well, I have absolutely no sex drive,
you're leaving town to do a movie,
what's the point of talking about it right now?
Samantha, I see two pairs of feet in there.
You had better not be "doing it."
[chuckles] Oh, we're not.
Yeah, right.
That'd be a first. [clears throat]
I must admit I have been dying to meet you.
I begged Aleks to organize a dinner with us.
But he said "as soon as
the exhibit opens we'll all sit down."
As soon as, as soon as...
If I heard this phrase one more time...
-[small laugh] -So,
how is my beloved?
Oh, he's wonderful.
-He's a bit stressed, but-- -Well, yes.
He is very sensitive.
Can I just say, I think it's lovely
that you both think so highly of one another?
Why not?
We had a wonderful marriage...
While it lasted. [light laugh]
But I believe a relationship is like couture
if it doesn't fit perfectly,
it's a disaster.
[Carrie chuckles]
And I couldn't quite get used to always coming second.
It was not for me.
Would you like a cigarette?
N--
Oh, well yes, I would. Thank you.
And I thought you might be one of those Americans
who didn't smoke and I would be,
how do you say?
"Guilty" of killing you over lunch.
[Carrie giggles]
So, Chloe tells me you were a writer in New York?
No, I am a writer.
Um... Until recently, I had a weekly column in New York.
It became a book. Um...
It's even been published here.
Brilliant.
And Aleks is comfortable with that?
Oh God, yes, he's very supportive.
Then people change!
-[Aleksandr] It's good. -[Carrie] Can you hold this?
Okay.
Aren't you going to say anything
about the fact that I'm smoking?
Everybody smokes in Paris.
Someone got great review.
-Your reviews are out already? -[Aleksandr chuckles]
No, no, no, and please don't remind me.
I'm referring to you.
Juliet was impressed.
She said you're beautiful, smart and chic.
-[cell phone ringing] -[Carrie chuckles]
-[man] Allo, Aleksandr? -Oui, c'est moi.
[man speaking French]
-Bien. -[speaking French]
Non, non, non, non!
[man and Aleks exchange in French]
Sorry. The museum, I have to go.
Again?
Oh, it's been like this all week.
I thought we at least had the morning together.
I have to go, I have to go, eh?
Is this going to be every day?
Oh, Carrie,
I'm under so much pressure.
Don't make me feel worse than I do, eh?
I'm not trying to make you feel worse,
I said nothing when you left me alone with your wife.
I know it is inconvenient for you right now...
But I promise,
there will be time for us
as soon as this exhibit opens.
Okay?
Carrie? Carrie!
[laughs]
That's better. Just look!
We are in Paris! It's so beautiful.
Go walk around, take the driver!
Go everywhere.
No, no, no, you take the driver.
I'll walk around and do French things,
be very Parisian.
Okay...
See you.
[gentle music]
I like the smoking, it's very sexy!
It's killing me!
[gentle music continues]
[whimpering]
[gentle music continues]
Oh, God!
Merci, beaucoup.
[murmuring in French]
Carrie?
[gentle music ends]
Isn't it amazing, Ma?
The whole house is coming together.
[Brady grunts playfully]
Ma?
What's little Stevie doing over there?
What? That's Brady. I'm right here.
What are you talking about?
[dog barking]
[Brady making playful noises]
Does my mother seem odd to you?
You might want to rephrase that.
No, I'm serious.
She looks all loopy and she's disoriented.
Steve, it's called
the "one too many beers syndrome."
Nah,
her eyes aren't focusing or something
and... I'm worried.
Really?
Hey, Ma, you want some ice cream?
Don't let little Stevie have any strawberry.
Mary, that's Brady.
What are you talking about?
I know that's Brady.
[dog barking]
But who the hell are you?
I'm gonna run her down to the emergency room
and check it out.
It can't hurt, right?
Mm-hm.
[Steve] Ma, wanna go for a walk?
[upbeat music]
Mm. [inhales]
If it's a movie about Attila the Hun,
why are they filming in Canada?
Cheaper...
Oh.
And it's pretty much just open space.
Which means nowhere to go and nothing to do
for the next eight weeks.
Ah...
Listen to me.
The operative word being listen.
I want you to feel free to have sex
while you're on location.
Are we here again?
-After everything? -No, we are not here again.
I'm not trying to push you away,
I'm trying to keep you.
If anyone knows how important sex is to a person,
it's me...
Correction, was me.
It's the chemo.
Your body just needs time to heal itself.
It'll be back.
It's like winter...
Just because the trees are bare,
doesn't mean they're dead.
Along comes spring and bam!
I want you to have sex.
[Smith sighs]
I'm serious!
I know what we have, sex is just sex.
I understand that.
I don't want to just have sex.
Hm. You say that now,
but when you're riding a horse all day,
wearing animal fur,
and you see some sexy Canadian extra
in a slave-girl outfit,
feel free to pillage her.
Samantha...
Don't be so provincial!
You're playing a barbarian, for fuck's sake.
[Steve] Step up there, Ma, come on.
There you go, all right.
You wanna watch some TV?
-Yeah. -All right.
I'll be in there in a minute.
It's cold outside.
So, it was nothing, right?
The doctor said she had a small stroke.
She's got significant memory loss.
Oh God, when did it happen?
Best he can tell, maybe a week ago,
but nobody knows 'cause she's been home alone.
I want her to stay here with us tonight.
-Yeah. -So I'm gonna
run and grab her nightgown and stuff.
She wants her own stuff.
I'll-- I'll go with you.
Magda can stay here with them.
I'm so sorry.
Yeah.
[Miranda] Magda!
Jesus Christ.
What's been going on here?
-Didn't you notice? -Nah,
she's always waiting for me
to pick her up downstairs.
Fucking cockroach!
Okay, well, this stops right now.
My ma can't live like this.
I'll get a maid or a nurse or something.
Someone to live with her full-time.
Nurses do that, right?
You can hire them to do that, right?
My ma can't live like this.
Steve.
Your mother can come live with us.
She can?
Sure...
Why else do we have that big house?
[Steve sighs]
[gentle music]
[gentle music continues]
[speaking in French]
Oh, no. Merci, beaucoup.
Carrie Bradshaw!
-You are Sex and the City writer? -Yeah.
I love Sex and the City!
-[soft laughs] -I am, how you say, ah...
The single girl.
-[giggles] -Ay, Paul!
[speaking in French]
[conversing in French]
...Sex and the City!
[Evelyn giggles]
Carrie Bradshaw?
Carrie Bradshaw de Sex and the City?
-Yes. -Bonjour!
[Carrie giggles]
I have the sex. She has the sex!
We all have the sex!
[laughs]
[speaking in French]
We want to make a party for you.
-Saturday night. -[Paul speaking in French]
-[continuing in French] -[Evelyn] Oui!
[both speaking French]
Apparently, I fell right into my French fan base.
Both of them. And they were so fun and silly
and they insisted on throwing a party in my honor.
They want me to meet their friends
who supposedly love the book as well.
Anyway, it's nothing terribly fancy, just--
Just a cozy dinner in a quaint hotel in Paris
with my ten new French friends.
This is what I love about Paris.
you never know where the day will lead you.
I know! Anyway.
The party's Saturday night
at La Petit Auberge
on the Rue de Saint Andres Des Arts.
-Very good! -Are you up for it?
Oh, I can't, darling,
that's the night I unveil my show
to the museum curator and staff.
But you go and have a wonderful time
with the throngs of screaming fans.
Well, I don't mind if I do.
Do you think they'll really be screaming?
-I hope so. -[squeals] So do I!
[Aleksandr laughs]
And we'd turn the office back there into the baby's room.
Would anyone like more lox?
Is that the fish?
We're within blocks of the best grammar schools in Manhattan.
Not that we would ever let him or her go alone.
Her.
It's a her.
We just found out.
It's a girl?
Honey, it's a girl!
[quick laughs] I always wanted a girl.
[Charlotte laughs]
We weren't going to ask 'cause
I didn't want to know nothing about it,
but then I was there and they asked me if I wanted to know
and I said yes.
Ever since then I've been thinking about
little girl names.
I like Tiffany, Brittany.
Wayne says I like any name with a "knee" on the end.
We're not getting the baby, are we?
[crying lightly] We changed our minds.
[Amber] We're awful sorry.
If you knew this before,
why did you come here and put us through all this?
We'd never seen New York.
[Charlotte] What are you doing in here all this time?
I'm writing an angry e-mail to our baby lawyer.
Oh, she warned us about this kind of thing.
How much more can we take? Huh?
Shh...
[kisses] It's okay.
-That's not our baby. -[Harry sighs]
Our baby's still coming.
I'm beginning to think God lost our address.
Aw, come on, honey.
We're Jews.
We've been through worse than this. Eh?
[light laugh]
[receptionist] And someone got some flowers delivered.
Oh?
[receptionist on phone] Samantha Jones. Uh-huh.
I'll tell her you called.
[gentle music]
[deep sigh]
[cell phone ringing]
What's up, babe?
I just got your flowers. They're so beautiful.
Did you get the card?
Yes...
And... You know how I said
you could have sex with
someone else?
Well...
If it would be okay with you...
Try not to.
Unless you already have, and then,
that's fine.
I didn't, I won't.
I don't mean to be a wet blanket,
but-- How about "don't"?
Cool.
Hm.
Okay, you gorgeous Russian, I'm off!
Good luck at the museum-- Um...
What's wrong?
Ah, it's the cufflink
and, um, it's something with my hands.
It's just--
I think I'm having an anxiety attack
or something, I don't know.
Well... Breathe.
Here.
Put your head between your legs and breathe.
[Aleksandr exhales]
[breathes in]
[heavy sighs]
I-- I can't go, I can't!
Why? What brought this on?
What if they think I'm the old man
with the silly light machines?
Here, let me do this for you.
The curator's 27 years old.
Can you believe it?
-Stop. -Wha--
Look at me.
You will be fine.
Will you go with me?
But-- I have my party.
Oh, please... I need you there.
I need you there.
I don't-- I don't have anybody's telephone number
to call and cancel, I--
Oh, no, you go.
You're right, I'll be okay, I'll be fine.
I'll be fine, yeah.
No, no... I'll go.
You will?
It's important to you.
Oh, thank you, my darling.
And promise not to let go all night, huh?
[sighs]
[upbeat music]
[upbeat music continues]
[curator in French] Awesome!
Awesome!
[speaking French]
Bravo!
[speaking French]
[in French] Come, come, come...
[cheers]
[Brady] Train!
[Charlotte] Yes, that's a train. Yes!
[Brady laughs]
I want to take little Stevie to the zoo.
This is not Steve, this is Brady.
Steve's all grown up.
[sighs]
Some days she's perfectly clear...
And then she'll have a bad couple days like now.
How are you handling all this?
Not very well.
Steve is amazing. He gets home
from the bar late,
then he's with her all day.
[Mary] Let's get ready to go to the zoo!
This is the zoo. [chuckles]
I think you're amazing.
[Brady] Mama.
And I think you're amazing!
Yes, I do.
Why was her coat on?
Shit!
Mary?
Shit.
-Where did she go? -I don't know. The Bronx Zoo?
Shit, shit, stay with the baby.
Shit!
Oh, fuck.
[chatting in French]
[gentle music]
[speaking in French]
The one place in Paris you can't smoke.
Oh, perfect... A hole in my Dior.
What?
[rattling]
[sparkling music]
Oh...
[crowd laughing]
Tell that man that I had to go!
I... Cet homme, cet homme...
Dis lui... je pars!
[upbeat music]
Taxi!
Sorry. Pardon me... Taxi!
Tax--
Mary!
Mary?
Mary!
[sighs] Excusez-moi, je cherche--
[waiter] Mademoiselle?
Mary!
This pizza tastes like garbage.
Yeah, it's bad.
It's cold, we're gonna go. We're gonna go home.
I'm still hungry, you know.
Yeah.
Mmm!
That feels good.
[Mary laughs]
[lilting music]
Hey, where did you go?
-I went to my party. -I thought as much.
How was it?
Over...
It was over.
I'm sorry.
How could you just abandon me like that
when I gave up my party to be with you?
I didn't abandon you.
I sat on a bench, alone in a museum.
[sighs] Let's not do this now.
I'm tired, had a stressful day.
I'm in this relationship too!
I am a person in this relationship!
Have you any idea what it's been like for me here?
Eating alone and waiting for my boyfriend
who would rather spend time with a light installation.
That's what I do.
That's who I am.
You always knew this.
I had a life in New York.
I-- I had a job, and friends
and I didn't give all of that up
to come here and wander the streets of Paris alone!
Okay, I'm taking a shower and I'm going to bed.
We'll talk more as soon as you calm down.
No, no, no, not as soon as--
-Please, Carrie! -[gasps]
It was an accident,
-I didn't mean to. -I know--
Oh, my necklace.
Oh...
I'm so sorry.
I thought I was clear all along...
about who I am.
Well...
Maybe it's time to be clear
about who I am.
I am someone who is looking for love.
Real love.
Ridiculous, inconvenient...
consuming...
can't live without each other love.
And I don't think that love is here in...
in this expensive suite in...
in this lovely hotel in Paris.
It's not your fault. It's-- It's my fault.
I shouldn't have come here.
-Carrie-- -Please, don't.
I'm fine.
[kiss]
[Carrie] Thank you.
[speaking slowly in French]
...Bradshaw...
[speaking French]
Well, I'm sorry, mademoiselle,
but we have only double rooms available.
Well, I'm a single and it will be fine.
Okay. Let me see, just a minute.
Merci.
Oh!
Oh.
[sighs]
[sniffle]
Hi!
-Hey, hey, hey. -[crying]
-Why the tears? -[crying]
Paris is a mess.
I never should have come here. [sniffle]
Everything fell apart.
We had a big fight and... [sniffs]
And then I got slapped.
-You got what? -No, no, he didn't mean it.
It was an accident.
[breaths through his nose] He slapped you?
What? No, no!
-It's not like that. -I'll kick his ass.
What? No!
All right, what room are you in?
I'm not telling you that.
I see you were in room 625.
Room 625, thank you!
Wait! Oh, stop! What are ya? Oh...
[Carrie] Hey!
Stop! What do you think you're doing?
I think I'm kicking some Russian ass.
What?
No, it's-- It's not like that!
You-- You've got it completely wrong.
We'll see about that.
[Carrie] I don't need you to do this.
Stop! This is totally unnecessary.
What do you think you're doing?
Stop, slow down.
You're going to have a heart attack.
I mean it, I took care of this myself.
I don't need you to rescue me!
Listen, I'm clockin' this foreigner
and there's nothing you can do to stop me.
-Ah! -[little scream]
[hysterical laughter]
[Big] I gotta hand it to you, kid.
Most people come to Paris to fall in love.
You came and got slapped.
[laughing]
Why is that funny?
[laughing]
Are you cold?
No, I'm still in shock.
This is all so surreal.
What-- Where--
How did you even get here?
It took me a really long time to get here.
But I'm here.
Carrie, you're the one.
[sniffling]
Oh, kiss me, you big crybaby.
[sniffling]
I miss New York.
Take me home.
Hi, honey.
I'm a bad wife, I ordered Chinese.
I got something from China too.
They're giving us a baby.
What? How?
I guess God remembered our address.
We get her in six months...
Here she is.
That's our baby.
[crying breath] I know it. That's really our baby.
[crying]
[laughs]
What you did...
that is love.
You love.
Let's not make a big deal of it to Steve,
it'd just upset him.
[gentle music]
[Samantha moans]
Hey, babe.
-[sighs] -I flew back.
You flew all night? Why?
I forgot to tell you something on the phone.
I love you.
You flew back to tell me that?
Can you think of a better reason?
No, I can't.
You have meant more to me
than any man I've ever known.
Thank you. Thanks.
[sighs]
[Carrie sniffles]
You know, uh...
I don't live here anymore
and the Four Seasons won't check you in until one.
Oh... Did you want to come up?
Abso-fuckin'-lutely.
[gentle music]
-[Miranda] Yes? From Canada? -Yes.
[indistinct chatter]
-[screaming] -[Carrie screams]
[all screaming]
[laughing]
[Carrie] Oh, my God!
[Charlotte] Doesn't she look great?
[Carrie] Later that day,
I got to thinking about relationships.
There are those that open you up
to something new and exotic.
♪ Lord I just don't care ♪
♪ But you got the love I need To see me through ♪
Those that are old and familiar...
Those that bring up lots of questions...
Those that bring you somewhere unexpected...
[indistinct chatter]
Those that bring you far from where you started...
[moan building]
And those that bring you back.
[scream]
But the most exciting,
challenging and significant relationship of all...
[cell phone ringing]
...is the one you have with yourself.
And if you find someone to love the "you" you love...
-Hi! -[Big] What's shakin', baby?
-How's Napa? -The house is on the market.
Look out New York, I'm a coming.
[Carrie] Well, that's just fabulous.
