1
00:00:49,508 --> 00:00:51,218
Once upon a time...
2
00:00:52,594 --> 00:00:54,513
in a kingdom far away...
3
00:00:56,807 --> 00:01:00,602
a certain man
and a slightly less certain woman
4
00:01:00,978 --> 00:01:02,771
kept bumping into one another.
5
00:01:04,606 --> 00:01:06,608
They seemed to meet everywhere.
6
00:01:09,820 --> 00:01:11,113
On street corners.
7
00:01:14,116 --> 00:01:15,242
At parties.
8
00:01:16,034 --> 00:01:18,996
It was almost as if
they were dating accidentally.
9
00:01:19,788 --> 00:01:21,915
And then, after another chance meeting,
10
00:01:22,416 --> 00:01:24,710
at a wealthy lawyer's new son's bris...
11
00:01:27,546 --> 00:01:31,550
They decided to pick a time
to bump into each other on purpose.
12
00:01:34,052 --> 00:01:37,889
Saturday, 10:30.
The hottest new restaurant in Manhattan.
13
00:01:39,099 --> 00:01:41,602
Samantha's PR Firm
was handling the opening.
14
00:01:42,436 --> 00:01:44,271
- Hi!
-Hey.
15
00:01:44,354 --> 00:01:45,439
Hi.
16
00:01:46,231 --> 00:01:47,733
So, isn't Brian great?
17
00:01:47,816 --> 00:01:51,236
Charlotte had a new boyfriend.
He had her big three.
18
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,530
Looks, manners, money.
19
00:01:53,614 --> 00:01:56,825
Did I tell you he wants to buy
a painting from my gallery?
20
00:01:56,908 --> 00:01:59,494
Love and a commission.
She couldn't have been happier.
21
00:01:59,578 --> 00:02:01,913
-All right. It's official. He's late.
-Who?
22
00:02:01,997 --> 00:02:03,707
Mr. Big, who else?
23
00:02:03,790 --> 00:02:06,251
Carrie, that's great. Is it a date?
24
00:02:06,335 --> 00:02:08,837
He called it a thing.
He said, "Meet me...
25
00:02:08,920 --> 00:02:10,672
Meet me for a drink thing."
26
00:02:10,756 --> 00:02:13,675
-He never used the "D" word.
-Well, "thing" is good.
27
00:02:13,759 --> 00:02:16,386
-I mean, "thing" comes before date.
- Let's hope so.
28
00:02:16,470 --> 00:02:18,138
-All right, I'm gonna go in.
-Okay.
29
00:02:18,263 --> 00:02:20,891
- See you in there.
-Where did Skipper go?
30
00:02:20,974 --> 00:02:23,226
I don't know how you can date
that younger guy.
31
00:02:23,310 --> 00:02:24,895
I mean, they're so scattered
and unfocused.
32
00:02:24,978 --> 00:02:25,854
We're not dating.
33
00:02:25,937 --> 00:02:27,189
It's a "fuck" thing.
34
00:02:28,482 --> 00:02:30,317
Girls, isn't this fun?
35
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,321
I've turned away 20 so far.
People are actually crying.
36
00:02:42,037 --> 00:02:45,374
Oh, something came up.
He's not gonna meet me.
37
00:02:45,666 --> 00:02:48,585
Here, will you listen to this
and tell me if you can figure out
38
00:02:48,710 --> 00:02:52,047
whether he's not meeting me
as a date or not meeting me as a friend.
39
00:02:52,130 --> 00:02:53,131
All right.
40
00:02:54,007 --> 00:02:56,051
Sometimes you need
a second opinion
41
00:02:56,134 --> 00:02:58,762
with doctors, real estate, men.
42
00:02:58,845 --> 00:02:59,846
Well?
43
00:03:00,472 --> 00:03:01,890
I have no idea.
44
00:03:02,641 --> 00:03:05,185
And I finished first
in my litigation class.
45
00:03:05,977 --> 00:03:11,066
How pathetic do I feel asking you
if a guy kind of likes me?
46
00:03:12,150 --> 00:03:13,402
There you are.
47
00:03:13,735 --> 00:03:14,736
-Hey.
-Hey.
48
00:03:14,820 --> 00:03:15,862
Hi.
49
00:03:16,405 --> 00:03:18,323
Carrie, Miranda,
50
00:03:18,490 --> 00:03:21,618
this is the hottest chef
in New York, Jon.
51
00:03:22,119 --> 00:03:25,622
Jon. J-O-N.
No "H, " no last name.
52
00:03:25,706 --> 00:03:28,250
His blue crab strudel was so fabulous,
he didn't need one.
53
00:03:28,667 --> 00:03:31,086
And this is his very cute friend, Sam.
54
00:03:31,211 --> 00:03:32,129
Hey!
55
00:03:32,504 --> 00:03:34,506
Sam? Who's named Sam?
56
00:03:34,589 --> 00:03:37,050
Me. Can I get you a drink?
57
00:03:37,134 --> 00:03:39,136
Oh, good luck. The bar is packed.
58
00:03:39,428 --> 00:03:41,805
No problem, 'cause
the bartender's a buddy of mine.
59
00:03:41,888 --> 00:03:43,724
-Miranda?
- Martini.
60
00:03:43,807 --> 00:03:44,933
Twenty-something guys
61
00:03:45,016 --> 00:03:47,644
always know
the really important "B" people.
62
00:03:48,979 --> 00:03:50,856
Busboys, bouncers.
63
00:03:51,022 --> 00:03:52,691
Plus, they have cute butts.
64
00:03:52,774 --> 00:03:53,734
Mmm.
65
00:03:53,900 --> 00:03:56,528
That's the Times critic. I'd better go.
66
00:04:11,585 --> 00:04:13,170
Did I mention I'm sleeping with him?
67
00:04:17,257 --> 00:04:18,550
Skipper!
68
00:04:21,136 --> 00:04:22,929
He's lost. We gotta get him.
69
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:26,725
They stopped making martinis,
70
00:04:26,808 --> 00:04:28,685
so I got us two rum and Cokes.
Is that okay?
71
00:04:29,102 --> 00:04:31,313
Well, I hate rum and I hate Coke.
72
00:04:31,688 --> 00:04:33,815
-But thanks.
- Martinis, ladies.
73
00:04:33,899 --> 00:04:37,277
-Wow. Look at you.
-I was a waiter at TGIF.
74
00:04:37,694 --> 00:04:38,987
Fabulous.
75
00:04:41,573 --> 00:04:42,991
-Hey.
-Hey.
76
00:04:43,325 --> 00:04:44,785
-Sam.
-Skipper.
77
00:04:44,868 --> 00:04:45,994
-Hey.
-Hey.
78
00:04:46,328 --> 00:04:48,163
They liked
each other immediately.
79
00:04:48,789 --> 00:04:50,290
You wanna see something?
80
00:04:55,462 --> 00:04:57,047
Can you narrow that down
a little bit?
81
00:04:59,382 --> 00:05:00,717
Wait, I didn't even...
82
00:05:02,344 --> 00:05:04,971
No fair. Do it over.
Let me see.
83
00:05:08,183 --> 00:05:09,476
-Hey!
-Hey.
84
00:05:09,559 --> 00:05:12,521
-It's you.
-I've been looking all over for you.
85
00:05:12,604 --> 00:05:15,273
Here you are, holding a tongue.
86
00:05:15,899 --> 00:05:17,692
Well, your message said
you weren't coming.
87
00:05:17,776 --> 00:05:19,736
I thought I said I'd try
to make it for an hour.
88
00:05:20,028 --> 00:05:21,613
Well, yeah, but then you said that...
89
00:05:21,696 --> 00:05:24,533
-What did I say?
-Never mind. Never mind.
90
00:05:24,616 --> 00:05:26,326
You're here, you have an hour.
Let's have a drink.
91
00:05:26,535 --> 00:05:28,829
Well, I was outside trying to get in
for 30 minutes,
92
00:05:28,912 --> 00:05:30,330
inside looking for you for 20 minutes,
93
00:05:30,413 --> 00:05:35,001
so that leaves me with just enough time
to tell you that I'm out of time.
94
00:05:36,127 --> 00:05:37,212
You have fun.
95
00:05:37,629 --> 00:05:39,756
Men in their 40s
are like the New York Times
96
00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:41,091
Sunday crossword puzzle.
97
00:05:41,174 --> 00:05:42,425
Tricky, complicated,
98
00:05:42,509 --> 00:05:45,303
and you're never really sure
you've got the right answer.
99
00:05:45,387 --> 00:05:46,680
This place is tired.
100
00:05:48,765 --> 00:05:51,226
-Do you want to get out of here?
-Sure.
101
00:05:54,980 --> 00:05:56,064
Why not?
102
00:05:56,940 --> 00:05:58,650
A short cab ride later,
103
00:05:58,733 --> 00:06:01,027
Samantha, Jon "no H", Sam and I
104
00:06:01,111 --> 00:06:03,405
found ourselves at
the nearby twenty-something club.
105
00:06:05,198 --> 00:06:07,576
I can't believe you made Jon
leave his own opening.
106
00:06:07,659 --> 00:06:11,329
He is way too happening
to be seen some place borderline tired.
107
00:06:11,872 --> 00:06:16,126
It was a tough town. Hot places
had the life span of a medfly.
108
00:06:16,209 --> 00:06:19,713
Samantha, everybody in here
is in their 20s.
109
00:06:20,005 --> 00:06:21,756
And so are we.
110
00:06:22,007 --> 00:06:25,594
As I glanced around the room,
I was amazed at the wide variety
111
00:06:25,677 --> 00:06:27,762
of great 20-something guys.
112
00:06:28,388 --> 00:06:30,140
The groovy guy.
113
00:06:31,016 --> 00:06:32,517
The corporate guy.
114
00:06:33,727 --> 00:06:35,186
The jock guy.
115
00:06:36,187 --> 00:06:37,647
The underage guy.
116
00:06:42,527 --> 00:06:43,737
Oh, there you are.
117
00:06:43,820 --> 00:06:45,363
How are you?
118
00:06:46,740 --> 00:06:49,075
-I see you found us.
-Big couch.
119
00:06:49,367 --> 00:06:50,744
Oh, here.
120
00:06:53,496 --> 00:06:55,123
Oh. Ooh!
121
00:06:59,252 --> 00:07:00,587
That'll work.
122
00:07:02,047 --> 00:07:03,965
I'm not too heavy,
I don't weigh too much?
123
00:07:04,049 --> 00:07:05,842
Right. You weigh, like, nothing.
124
00:07:06,217 --> 00:07:08,136
What's cuter than that?
125
00:07:09,220 --> 00:07:11,640
As we took a swig
from our pony-necked beers,
126
00:07:11,723 --> 00:07:14,309
I remembered another type
of 20-something guy.
127
00:07:14,559 --> 00:07:18,063
So, what's it like
to kiss with that thing in?
128
00:07:19,230 --> 00:07:21,566
You wanna find out?
129
00:07:25,445 --> 00:07:27,614
The really good kisser guy.
130
00:07:41,670 --> 00:07:42,712
Hello?
131
00:07:43,213 --> 00:07:45,382
- I am so fucked.
-What's wrong?
132
00:07:45,632 --> 00:07:47,133
No, I mean, literally.
133
00:07:47,217 --> 00:07:49,844
I have been fucked every way
you can be fucked.
134
00:07:50,303 --> 00:07:53,306
If you keep talking like that, I'm gonna
have to charge you by the minute.
135
00:07:53,431 --> 00:07:55,934
As I searched for
my morning Marlboro Light,
136
00:07:56,017 --> 00:07:59,312
Samantha proceeded to give me
a rundown of her night with Jon
137
00:07:59,437 --> 00:08:01,272
no "H," no inhibitions.
138
00:08:01,356 --> 00:08:06,861
We did it with him on top,
me on top, me on my side.
139
00:08:07,696 --> 00:08:10,824
-Him on his side?
- Oh, God, yes.
140
00:08:11,116 --> 00:08:14,369
On his back, on his side, on his face.
141
00:08:14,536 --> 00:08:17,747
-Have you ever done that?
-It's too early to remember.
142
00:08:17,831 --> 00:08:20,417
Well, do it immediately.
It is fabulous.
143
00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:22,877
These guys in their 20s,
they are up for anything.
144
00:08:23,211 --> 00:08:26,214
How did it go with you and Sam?
145
00:08:26,589 --> 00:08:29,926
- We kissed.
-Just kissed?
146
00:08:30,677 --> 00:08:33,555
No. We just kissed for five hours
147
00:08:34,139 --> 00:08:37,267
at the club, in front of the club,
on the corner of the club.
148
00:08:37,809 --> 00:08:40,395
I forgot how much fun it is
to just kiss, you know,
149
00:08:40,478 --> 00:08:42,439
even if I did only get two hours sleep.
150
00:08:42,522 --> 00:08:45,108
I didn't sleep at all.
151
00:08:45,525 --> 00:08:47,902
As Samantha went on
about her sexual escapades,
152
00:08:48,028 --> 00:08:49,946
I glanced down at my arm.
153
00:08:50,238 --> 00:08:54,701
There it was in Bic blue,
20-something Sam's phone number.
154
00:08:55,035 --> 00:08:58,204
I had this sudden urge to call,
but I'd just left him.
155
00:08:58,288 --> 00:09:01,875
Hell, my lips were still swollen.
Why this sudden craving?
156
00:09:02,667 --> 00:09:05,045
Are men in their 20s
the new designer drug?
157
00:09:06,212 --> 00:09:09,716
Yes, Samantha, Miranda and I
were all recreational users,
158
00:09:09,799 --> 00:09:12,552
but were we getting into something
we couldn't handle?
159
00:09:12,635 --> 00:09:16,264
Okay, we were attracted
to younger men for various reasons.
160
00:09:16,347 --> 00:09:19,225
But I couldn't help but wonder...
What do they see in us?
161
00:09:20,643 --> 00:09:23,229
Women in their thirties
are just so grateful.
162
00:09:23,313 --> 00:09:26,107
It's like every bullshit
nice thing you do,
163
00:09:26,191 --> 00:09:27,692
is like throwing food to the starving.
164
00:09:30,487 --> 00:09:32,113
Take your shot!
165
00:09:33,865 --> 00:09:36,034
They give great head
and know a lot about wine.
166
00:09:40,455 --> 00:09:41,790
They remind me of my mom.
167
00:09:48,129 --> 00:09:51,132
They know who they are
and what they want, and I like that.
168
00:09:54,719 --> 00:09:56,805
Take it. Come on. Take it, man.
169
00:09:58,723 --> 00:10:00,892
-Fuck!
-Two words, smart pussy.
170
00:10:02,977 --> 00:10:04,020
Shoot it!
171
00:10:05,563 --> 00:10:07,816
Later that week,
Miranda and I compared notes.
172
00:10:07,899 --> 00:10:10,068
Shouldn't we be dating men our own age?
173
00:10:10,151 --> 00:10:11,486
Good luck finding one.
174
00:10:11,569 --> 00:10:14,656
There are no available men
in their thirties in New York.
175
00:10:14,739 --> 00:10:17,075
Giuliani had them removed
along with the homeless.
176
00:10:18,618 --> 00:10:20,286
Also, then what's really going on here?
177
00:10:20,370 --> 00:10:23,039
I mean, is it younger men feel safer?
178
00:10:23,123 --> 00:10:25,500
What's really going on here is sex.
179
00:10:25,583 --> 00:10:27,585
Good old-fashioned, eager-to-please,
180
00:10:27,669 --> 00:10:30,171
do-what-I-tell-you-to, Eagle Scout sex.
181
00:10:30,255 --> 00:10:33,299
Yeah, but I'm not having sex.
It's a kissing thing.
182
00:10:33,383 --> 00:10:36,010
So what's the big deal?
It's just a fling.
183
00:10:36,261 --> 00:10:38,680
It's not like we're throwing out
our schedules or anything.
184
00:10:38,763 --> 00:10:40,807
-Oh, sweetie, I gotta go.
-Yeah?
185
00:10:40,890 --> 00:10:42,392
I'm late for a meeting with my editor.
186
00:10:42,475 --> 00:10:43,726
-Oh. Bye!
- Bye!
187
00:10:46,354 --> 00:10:48,565
I didn't wanna tell her
I cancelled lunch with my editor
188
00:10:48,648 --> 00:10:51,693
to go to Banana Republic and help
twenty-something Sam pick out a shirt.
189
00:10:56,114 --> 00:10:57,031
Here.
190
00:10:58,741 --> 00:11:00,827
As I helped him try them on, I thought,
191
00:11:01,703 --> 00:11:04,747
"He's sweet, he's fun,
and I think he likes me.
192
00:11:04,998 --> 00:11:09,127
Could he be more than a fling?
Could he be a potential boyfriend?"
193
00:11:09,210 --> 00:11:10,587
Please.
194
00:11:12,046 --> 00:11:13,381
This isn't the Gap.
195
00:11:16,801 --> 00:11:19,304
And speaking
of potential boyfriends,
196
00:11:19,387 --> 00:11:22,056
later that week
the "crossword puzzle" asked me
197
00:11:22,140 --> 00:11:24,017
to meet him for a drink, blank.
198
00:11:24,225 --> 00:11:27,270
Not quite a date, five letters,
starts with a "T".
199
00:11:31,774 --> 00:11:34,068
Yeah. Whoever this is, I can't talk.
I'm late for a drink thing.
200
00:11:34,152 --> 00:11:37,238
I just need five minutes. I'm meeting
Brian later and don't know what to do.
201
00:11:37,322 --> 00:11:39,824
-About what?
- Well, last night,
202
00:11:39,908 --> 00:11:43,036
after a movie, we're walking down
Second Avenue and we just passed--
203
00:11:43,119 --> 00:11:44,913
-Four minutes, Charlotte.
-Okay.
204
00:11:44,996 --> 00:11:47,832
I can't just blurt out what he asked me.
It's embarrassing.
205
00:11:47,916 --> 00:11:50,585
What? What did the perfect
boyfriend ask?
206
00:11:53,129 --> 00:11:54,964
Meet me in front of your apartment
in ten minutes.
207
00:11:58,551 --> 00:12:02,180
Okay, words are essential.
Tell me exactly how he worded it.
208
00:12:02,513 --> 00:12:04,724
"We've been seeing each other
for a couple of weeks.
209
00:12:04,807 --> 00:12:05,934
I really like you.
210
00:12:06,017 --> 00:12:07,769
And tomorrow night after dinner,
211
00:12:08,144 --> 00:12:09,771
I want us to have anal sex.
212
00:12:10,313 --> 00:12:12,857
Okay, next stop is gonna be
62nd and Madison.
213
00:12:12,941 --> 00:12:15,068
-62nd and Madison?
-We're picking up Miranda.
214
00:12:15,276 --> 00:12:16,611
-No, God, no.
-Yes.
215
00:12:16,694 --> 00:12:18,696
-And then we're picking up Samantha.
-Oh, Carrie, no.
216
00:12:18,821 --> 00:12:19,656
Sweetie, listen.
217
00:12:19,739 --> 00:12:21,032
You need all the girl support
you can get,
218
00:12:21,115 --> 00:12:22,617
and I'm late for drinks with Big.
219
00:12:22,700 --> 00:12:24,160
Oh, that's great.
220
00:12:24,244 --> 00:12:26,663
Even in her state
of abject blackness,
221
00:12:26,746 --> 00:12:28,873
Charlotte was a dating optimist.
222
00:12:28,957 --> 00:12:30,667
It all depends.
How much do you like him?
223
00:12:30,750 --> 00:12:32,085
A lot.
224
00:12:32,168 --> 00:12:34,671
"Dating a few months until somebody
better comes along" a lot
225
00:12:34,754 --> 00:12:36,839
or "marrying and moving
to East Hampton" a lot?
226
00:12:36,923 --> 00:12:38,633
I don't know. I'm not sure.
227
00:12:38,716 --> 00:12:40,635
Well, you better get sure real quick.
228
00:12:40,718 --> 00:12:41,970
-You're scaring me.
-Okay.
229
00:12:42,053 --> 00:12:43,054
Don't scare her.
230
00:12:43,179 --> 00:12:44,722
It's all about control.
231
00:12:45,014 --> 00:12:47,350
If he goes up there,
there's gonna be a shift in power.
232
00:12:47,433 --> 00:12:49,435
Either he'll have the upper hand
or you will.
233
00:12:49,519 --> 00:12:52,855
Now there's a certain camp that believes
whoever holds the dick holds the power.
234
00:12:52,939 --> 00:12:55,191
But... Hello! You're driving.
235
00:12:56,484 --> 00:12:58,194
The question is,
236
00:12:58,278 --> 00:13:01,364
if he goes up your butt, will he
respect you more or respect you less?
237
00:13:01,447 --> 00:13:03,950
-That's the issue.
-No smoking in cab.
238
00:13:05,410 --> 00:13:07,954
Sir, we're talking "up the butt."
A cigarette is in order.
239
00:13:08,871 --> 00:13:11,749
Front, back, who cares?
A hole is a hole.
240
00:13:11,833 --> 00:13:14,127
-Can I quote you?
-Oh, don't be so judgmental.
241
00:13:14,210 --> 00:13:17,213
-You could use a little back door.
-I'm not a hole.
242
00:13:17,672 --> 00:13:18,798
Honey, we know.
243
00:13:18,881 --> 00:13:21,968
Look. All I'm saying is that
this is a physical expression
244
00:13:22,051 --> 00:13:24,721
that the body was designed
to experience.
245
00:13:24,804 --> 00:13:26,639
And PS, it's fabulous.
246
00:13:27,265 --> 00:13:29,767
What are you talking about?
I went to Smith.
247
00:13:29,851 --> 00:13:31,936
Look, I'm just saying,
with the right guy
248
00:13:32,145 --> 00:13:34,647
-and the right lubricant...
249
00:13:38,693 --> 00:13:40,028
What was that?
250
00:13:40,570 --> 00:13:41,821
A preview.
251
00:13:48,703 --> 00:13:49,746
Thanks.
252
00:13:53,750 --> 00:13:56,878
Well, I can't believe it.
253
00:13:57,211 --> 00:14:01,591
Same time, same place. Just you and me.
254
00:14:02,633 --> 00:14:05,053
Well, sort of.
255
00:14:05,887 --> 00:14:07,347
Meet my friend, Jack.
256
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:11,434
Oh, hi. How are you?
257
00:14:12,977 --> 00:14:14,771
Marvelous. Going through
my second divorce.
258
00:14:14,854 --> 00:14:17,231
Bitch is getting everything
the first bitch didn't.
259
00:14:17,565 --> 00:14:21,361
There he was,
right in the middle of my drink thing...
260
00:14:21,444 --> 00:14:22,904
Mr. Marvelous.
261
00:14:23,905 --> 00:14:27,408
Jesus. Look at that beautiful woman.
262
00:14:28,534 --> 00:14:31,371
I'm gonna go ask her to join us
for dinner. Excuse me.
263
00:14:31,454 --> 00:14:32,497
Okay.
264
00:14:39,295 --> 00:14:41,798
He... called me crying.
265
00:14:46,928 --> 00:14:48,054
Do you forgive me?
266
00:14:50,473 --> 00:14:51,557
Here's what.
267
00:14:56,145 --> 00:14:58,231
Why don't you two have a guy's night.
268
00:14:58,439 --> 00:15:01,359
You know, talk, cry, shoot bear.
269
00:15:01,567 --> 00:15:03,569
I'm way behind on my column anyway.
270
00:15:04,612 --> 00:15:07,198
Here. Next round on me.
271
00:15:07,907 --> 00:15:09,867
We'll do our thing another time.
272
00:15:11,327 --> 00:15:12,495
Are you sure?
273
00:15:15,998 --> 00:15:17,959
Abso-fucking-lutely.
274
00:15:18,918 --> 00:15:20,920
I didn't know what
I was supposed to feel.
275
00:15:21,170 --> 00:15:23,840
Confused? Sad? Rejected?
276
00:15:24,674 --> 00:15:27,009
I decided to walk to clear my head.
277
00:15:27,093 --> 00:15:29,303
Also, I just left my cab fare
on the table.
278
00:15:29,887 --> 00:15:34,642
So I walked.
I walked 48 blocks in $400 shoes.
279
00:15:41,315 --> 00:15:43,359
I just needed something
to take the edge off.
280
00:15:48,239 --> 00:15:50,283
A little kiss to make me feel better.
281
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,677
But now, it wasn't working.
I wasn't getting the same rush.
282
00:16:10,094 --> 00:16:11,888
Tonight, I needed more.
283
00:16:13,181 --> 00:16:14,307
Meanwhile uptown,
284
00:16:14,390 --> 00:16:17,810
Charlotte wondered when relationships
had gotten so complicated.
285
00:16:17,894 --> 00:16:21,689
She yearned for the time when dinner
was followed by dessert, not lubricant.
286
00:16:22,815 --> 00:16:24,859
I... I can't, Brian. I can't.
287
00:16:24,942 --> 00:16:28,488
I want to, but I can't.
I mean, actually...
288
00:16:28,571 --> 00:16:30,656
No, that's not true.
I don't want to. Or maybe I do.
289
00:16:30,740 --> 00:16:31,741
I don't know what I want,
290
00:16:31,824 --> 00:16:33,659
but I'm afraid if I don't
you'll dump me.
291
00:16:33,743 --> 00:16:36,204
And if I do, then I'll be
the "up the butt" girl.
292
00:16:36,287 --> 00:16:38,039
And I don't wanna be
the "up the butt" girl because...
293
00:16:38,122 --> 00:16:39,874
I mean, men don't marry
the "up the butt" girl.
294
00:16:39,957 --> 00:16:42,335
Whoever heard of Mrs. Up The Butt?
No, no, no.
295
00:16:42,627 --> 00:16:43,836
I can't.
296
00:16:44,253 --> 00:16:48,424
I want children and nice bedding
and I just can't handle this right now.
297
00:16:50,301 --> 00:16:51,719
Can we fuck the regular way?
298
00:16:54,305 --> 00:16:55,932
Yes, please.
299
00:17:00,853 --> 00:17:03,814
That night,
they made love the Charlotte way.
300
00:17:03,898 --> 00:17:08,361
Polite and respectful
on 300-count Egyptian cotton sheets.
301
00:17:09,862 --> 00:17:11,697
Meanwhile downtown...
302
00:17:14,283 --> 00:17:16,035
That was really great.
303
00:17:19,830 --> 00:17:21,916
-You know...
-Yeah?
304
00:17:22,124 --> 00:17:24,293
...when you lay like that...
305
00:17:24,961 --> 00:17:27,588
you have the cutest little wrinkles
in your neck.
306
00:17:28,464 --> 00:17:31,884
Samantha realized as long as
she dated someone younger,
307
00:17:31,968 --> 00:17:33,803
she would always be older.
308
00:17:34,428 --> 00:17:37,014
She gave up 20-somethings
right then and there.
309
00:17:37,098 --> 00:17:39,016
As Samantha went cold turkey,
310
00:17:40,977 --> 00:17:43,104
I got in deeper and deeper.
311
00:17:51,362 --> 00:17:53,447
-That was...
-Totally awesome.
312
00:17:53,739 --> 00:17:56,117
I was hooked. Gone.
313
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,494
Who cares about age, crossword puzzles,
314
00:17:58,578 --> 00:18:00,621
the cab money I'd left on the table?
315
00:18:00,705 --> 00:18:04,166
This felt so good,
I'd do anything to keep this high.
316
00:18:04,250 --> 00:18:06,877
And just when I thought
I couldn't get any higher,
317
00:18:07,503 --> 00:18:08,838
he spooned me.
318
00:18:18,889 --> 00:18:22,184
I woke up wanting more, or maybe not.
319
00:18:22,893 --> 00:18:26,981
In the gray morning light,
everything looked completely different.
320
00:18:28,232 --> 00:18:32,320
Candles from Urban Outfitter,
dirty laundry, a pizza box.
321
00:18:33,070 --> 00:18:34,780
Suddenly, reality hit.
322
00:18:35,615 --> 00:18:37,491
I'm in a 20-something apartment.
323
00:18:39,744 --> 00:18:41,996
-Good morning, babe.
-Good morning.
324
00:18:42,455 --> 00:18:44,915
Fuck! I had this amazing dream.
325
00:18:46,125 --> 00:18:50,546
My father and my ex-girlfriend
were, like, dead or something.
326
00:18:50,838 --> 00:18:53,215
How are you doing? It's good to see you.
327
00:18:53,299 --> 00:18:56,510
-Coffee. I need coffee.
-It's in the kitchen.
328
00:18:56,594 --> 00:19:01,515
And I had these big hands,
like big aluminum hands.
329
00:19:03,142 --> 00:19:06,228
And I lived in this, like,
big missile silo
330
00:19:06,312 --> 00:19:08,105
that was totally nuclear,
331
00:19:08,189 --> 00:19:11,567
and it was surrounded
by, like, my enemies and shit.
332
00:19:11,651 --> 00:19:15,863
And one by one, they'd run at me!
I mean, they got inside somehow.
333
00:19:15,946 --> 00:19:18,949
I don't remember,
but they would, like, run at me
334
00:19:19,033 --> 00:19:23,037
and I would crush them to pieces
with my big aluminum hands.
335
00:19:23,120 --> 00:19:24,955
I crushed this one guy.
336
00:19:25,039 --> 00:19:29,543
He had no face and stuff,
but I crushed him.
337
00:19:30,586 --> 00:19:34,048
I could crush anything
with these big fucking hands, man.
338
00:19:34,131 --> 00:19:36,550
-You don't have any coffee...
339
00:19:36,759 --> 00:19:39,512
-You don't have any coffee filters.
-I'll make that. That's all right.
340
00:19:40,012 --> 00:19:42,390
Oh! You were in the dream
341
00:19:42,473 --> 00:19:46,644
as this beautiful unicorn woman
with glass eyes.
342
00:19:47,228 --> 00:19:49,230
You, coffee. Me, bathroom.
343
00:19:49,397 --> 00:19:52,191
That would make a kick-ass song,
wouldn't it?
344
00:19:52,274 --> 00:19:54,235
Unicorn woman.
345
00:19:54,318 --> 00:19:55,403
Coffee.
346
00:20:02,535 --> 00:20:04,328
Oh, that's my roommate.
347
00:20:06,497 --> 00:20:09,583
Every fiber in my 30-something
being was screaming,
348
00:20:09,667 --> 00:20:11,877
"Get out! You're too old for this."
349
00:20:11,961 --> 00:20:13,879
And just when I thought
I couldn't sink any lower...
350
00:20:16,924 --> 00:20:18,759
I need toilet paper!
351
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,346
I'm just using the last of it
to make the coffee.
352
00:20:29,353 --> 00:20:31,480
I decided the only way
to break free
353
00:20:31,564 --> 00:20:34,483
was to move from one addiction
to an even bigger one.
354
00:20:36,485 --> 00:20:37,528
Shoes.
355
00:20:39,530 --> 00:20:42,324
A couple of blocks
and way too much money later,
356
00:20:42,408 --> 00:20:45,953
I realized I had just entered
an interesting chapter in my life.
357
00:20:46,245 --> 00:20:48,164
I had outgrown the boys of my past
358
00:20:48,247 --> 00:20:50,416
and not quite grown into
the men of my future.
359
00:20:50,499 --> 00:20:51,625
Hey!
360
00:20:52,752 --> 00:20:54,920
-Hi. How are you?
- Hello.
361
00:20:55,004 --> 00:20:58,132
Why is it in a city often million men,
362
00:20:58,215 --> 00:21:01,552
you always see the one you don't want
and never see the one you...
363
00:21:01,886 --> 00:21:03,512
-Hi!
-Hi.
364
00:21:05,014 --> 00:21:06,724
What are you doing down there?
365
00:21:06,807 --> 00:21:09,643
Oh, it's a wobbly table.
Guess I have the touch.
366
00:21:09,852 --> 00:21:11,187
Would you care to join us?
367
00:21:11,771 --> 00:21:13,105
Hinge.
368
00:21:13,856 --> 00:21:15,608
-What?
-Your crossword puzzle.
369
00:21:15,691 --> 00:21:18,944
Five-letter word.
"To bring together." Hinge.
370
00:21:20,070 --> 00:21:21,655
Well, nice seeing you. Bye.
371
00:21:21,739 --> 00:21:23,657
-Bye.
-Excuse me.
372
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:28,496
Uh, hey, just so you know,
I would've gotten hinge on my own.
373
00:21:28,913 --> 00:21:31,165
-Maybe.
-I have no doubt.
374
00:21:31,665 --> 00:21:33,542
Now that I've got Jack hooked up,
I'm single again.
375
00:21:33,626 --> 00:21:34,960
Maybe we could have dinner sometime.
376
00:21:35,836 --> 00:21:39,465
Hmm, I don't know.
I'm good at crossword puzzles.
377
00:21:39,548 --> 00:21:41,759
I'm just not so good at people puzzles.
378
00:21:42,635 --> 00:21:43,844
Anywhere you want.
379
00:21:44,220 --> 00:21:45,429
Just you and me.
380
00:21:47,515 --> 00:21:48,641
Call me.
381
00:21:51,060 --> 00:21:52,561
As I walked away, I had a thought.
382
00:21:52,895 --> 00:21:54,772
Maybe all men are a drug.
383
00:21:54,855 --> 00:21:56,232
Sometimes they bring you down
384
00:21:56,315 --> 00:21:59,944
and sometimes, like now,
they get you so high.
385
00:22:02,071 --> 00:22:03,239
Damn.
386
00:22:03,572 --> 00:22:06,075
It would've been so cool
if I hadn't looked back.
