1
00:00:49,550 --> 00:00:53,178
Once upon a time
in a magical land called Manhattan,
2
00:00:53,262 --> 00:00:55,222
a young woman fell in love.
3
00:00:59,059 --> 00:01:02,980
Charlotte and Jack locked eyes at
a black-tie benefit for Epstein-Barr.
4
00:01:05,983 --> 00:01:08,777
She chased him through every disease
in New York.
5
00:01:09,611 --> 00:01:12,906
They've been officially dating
since retinitis pigmentosa.
6
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:16,994
Jack was perfect for her.
7
00:01:17,077 --> 00:01:21,081
Architect, philanthropist
and the sex was amazing.
8
00:01:23,417 --> 00:01:26,545
Late one night,
Jack popped the inevitable question.
9
00:01:26,628 --> 00:01:28,046
-So...
-Mmm.
10
00:01:29,631 --> 00:01:31,133
What are your fantasies?
11
00:01:32,092 --> 00:01:35,637
God, I'd love to own my own gallery
12
00:01:36,221 --> 00:01:38,515
and maybe a little cottage in Maine.
13
00:01:38,599 --> 00:01:42,894
Actually, I meant more like
screwing-in-an-airplane-bathroom
14
00:01:42,978 --> 00:01:45,355
-kind of fantasies.
- Oh...
15
00:01:46,607 --> 00:01:49,234
The closest Charlotte had
ever come to getting screwed on a plane
16
00:01:49,318 --> 00:01:52,029
was the time she lost all her luggage
on a flight to Palm Beach.
17
00:01:52,821 --> 00:01:54,197
Well...
18
00:01:55,282 --> 00:01:57,909
I've always wanted to do it
in my parents' bed.
19
00:01:59,119 --> 00:02:01,371
Wild. I like it.
20
00:02:01,455 --> 00:02:02,581
What about you?
21
00:02:02,998 --> 00:02:06,126
You, me and another woman.
22
00:02:07,210 --> 00:02:08,211
Come on!
23
00:02:08,295 --> 00:02:09,630
I'm serious.
24
00:02:10,172 --> 00:02:13,675
Charlotte, you have no idea
how sexy you are, do you?
25
00:02:14,301 --> 00:02:16,845
And the idea of you touching
another woman...
26
00:02:18,555 --> 00:02:20,932
God, it makes me hard
just thinking about it.
27
00:02:22,059 --> 00:02:23,310
Wow.
28
00:02:29,816 --> 00:02:31,693
Jack wants us to do a threesome.
29
00:02:32,569 --> 00:02:34,404
Of course he does. Every guy does.
30
00:02:34,488 --> 00:02:36,156
Threesomes
are huge right now.
31
00:02:36,239 --> 00:02:37,699
They're the blow job of the '90s.
32
00:02:37,866 --> 00:02:40,410
-What was the blow job of the '80s?
-Anal sex.
33
00:02:40,577 --> 00:02:43,163
-Any sex, period.
-Don't let him pressure you into it.
34
00:02:43,246 --> 00:02:46,249
It's just this guy's cheap ploy
to watch you be a lesbian for a night.
35
00:02:46,375 --> 00:02:49,628
-Don't knock it till you've tried it.
-I had a threesome once, I think.
36
00:02:49,711 --> 00:02:52,881
In college. I was drunk.
I woke up in someone else's bra.
37
00:02:52,964 --> 00:02:55,717
The only way to do a threesome
is to be the guest star.
38
00:02:55,884 --> 00:02:57,678
-The guest star?
-Yeah.
39
00:02:57,761 --> 00:03:00,639
The girl the couple gets to come in,
screw and leave.
40
00:03:00,722 --> 00:03:02,599
-The pinch hitter.
- Exactly.
41
00:03:02,724 --> 00:03:03,725
It's perfect.
42
00:03:03,809 --> 00:03:06,978
All the great sex without wondering
what it will do to your relationship.
43
00:03:07,437 --> 00:03:11,108
-But you don't have relationships.
-Which is why I have great sex.
44
00:03:11,233 --> 00:03:14,194
-I've never done a threesome.
-Because you have relationships.
45
00:03:14,277 --> 00:03:15,612
Well, I've never done a threesome.
46
00:03:16,196 --> 00:03:17,781
Come on.
Of course you haven't.
47
00:03:17,864 --> 00:03:20,075
You in a threesome?
You won't even wear a thong.
48
00:03:20,575 --> 00:03:23,745
-Jack thinks I'm sexy.
-He's just buttering you up.
49
00:03:24,037 --> 00:03:27,499
First, you start thinking you're hot,
then he brings up the threesome thing.
50
00:03:27,582 --> 00:03:30,585
Boom! Suddenly you're kissing
another woman while he beats off.
51
00:03:30,794 --> 00:03:31,878
Please!
52
00:03:31,962 --> 00:03:34,381
Just make sure that the other woman
isn't a friend.
53
00:03:34,464 --> 00:03:37,634
Use somebody random, you know,
somebody you meet in a bar or something.
54
00:03:37,718 --> 00:03:40,011
-That's romantic.
-No.
55
00:03:40,095 --> 00:03:42,139
I think that I'd feel safer
with a friend,
56
00:03:42,222 --> 00:03:45,142
with someone I could trust. Like Carrie.
57
00:03:45,642 --> 00:03:47,936
Oh... Gee, I'm flattered.
58
00:03:48,228 --> 00:03:51,940
But I'd go with someone who has
a little more experience, like Sam.
59
00:03:52,315 --> 00:03:53,608
Well, thanks.
60
00:03:53,692 --> 00:03:57,696
But there is something sexy
about a first-timer like Charlotte.
61
00:03:58,321 --> 00:04:00,323
-Really?
-Mm-hmm.
62
00:04:02,826 --> 00:04:04,494
Oh, great. No, forget about me.
63
00:04:04,578 --> 00:04:06,204
Aw!
64
00:04:06,329 --> 00:04:09,040
-Oh, come on.
-You know, I'd do it with you guys.
65
00:04:09,583 --> 00:04:13,295
It's like picking teams
for dodgeball all over again.
66
00:04:13,628 --> 00:04:15,046
Was Samantha right?
67
00:04:15,338 --> 00:04:17,716
Were threesomes the new sexual frontier?
68
00:04:20,510 --> 00:04:24,097
No question.
Guys were infatuated with threesomes.
69
00:04:24,264 --> 00:04:27,601
And when I started looking,
they were everywhere.
70
00:04:27,809 --> 00:04:30,645
After all, our lives
are built on threesomes.
71
00:04:30,979 --> 00:04:32,856
Fat, low-fat, nonfat.
72
00:04:33,064 --> 00:04:36,193
First, business, economy.
Moe, Larry, Curly.
73
00:04:36,526 --> 00:04:39,237
Maybe we were never meant to do it
with only one other person.
74
00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:43,200
Maybe threesomes were
the relationship of the future.
75
00:04:44,576 --> 00:04:47,829
Meanwhile, Samantha had been
busy guest-starring in a show
76
00:04:47,913 --> 00:04:50,665
I like to call
"Sam Does the Married Guy."
77
00:04:50,791 --> 00:04:52,918
I love that you're not my wife.
78
00:04:53,001 --> 00:04:55,045
-I love that, too.
79
00:04:55,128 --> 00:04:57,672
I mean, that thing you do
with your hips!
80
00:04:59,257 --> 00:05:01,218
Ruth won't even get on top.
81
00:05:01,843 --> 00:05:04,304
Ken was 37, a wine importer,
82
00:05:04,387 --> 00:05:08,099
unhappily married to a woman
who designed modular office furniture.
83
00:05:08,183 --> 00:05:11,144
This affair was the most exciting thing
that had happened to him
84
00:05:11,228 --> 00:05:13,104
since the '94 Montrachet.
85
00:05:16,274 --> 00:05:19,194
Five hours later,
Charlotte's night was just beginning.
86
00:05:19,277 --> 00:05:22,239
She and Jack had just had
another fantastic date,
87
00:05:22,322 --> 00:05:23,990
dancing for dyslexia.
88
00:05:24,074 --> 00:05:26,576
So, what do you think of her?
89
00:05:27,828 --> 00:05:30,330
- Is she hot?
-Jack!
90
00:05:30,413 --> 00:05:31,832
You're right.
91
00:05:33,083 --> 00:05:35,210
Maybe she's more your taste.
92
00:05:35,335 --> 00:05:38,004
-Stop it.
-Have a light?
93
00:05:38,338 --> 00:05:39,840
Sorry, I don't smoke.
94
00:05:40,382 --> 00:05:41,591
That's a shame.
95
00:05:45,595 --> 00:05:48,849
Did you see that?
She was flirting with us.
96
00:05:49,182 --> 00:05:51,059
I think
she was flirting with you.
97
00:05:51,476 --> 00:05:54,855
Charlotte, you are such a turn on,
and you have no idea.
98
00:05:55,522 --> 00:05:58,733
You're giving off this sexual energy
all the time.
99
00:05:59,025 --> 00:06:01,528
A vibe like you've got
a fire inside of you.
100
00:06:03,446 --> 00:06:05,073
She'd be crazy not to be in to you.
101
00:06:06,199 --> 00:06:09,327
Who knows whether
it was her vodka or her vibe,
102
00:06:09,411 --> 00:06:12,080
but Charlotte suddenly did feel
a little warm.
103
00:06:12,163 --> 00:06:14,165
I think she put her hand on my leg.
104
00:06:14,708 --> 00:06:16,626
So, should I ask her to join us?
105
00:06:22,299 --> 00:06:25,510
That night she had
an eye-opening experience.
106
00:06:52,203 --> 00:06:53,705
Charlotte hadn't been
that excited
107
00:06:53,788 --> 00:06:56,875
since she tried on her JV
cheerleading uniform for the first time.
108
00:06:59,210 --> 00:07:00,795
So what do you think your dream meant?
109
00:07:02,547 --> 00:07:05,091
I'm in the sand box with Charlotte,
Sam and Carrie
110
00:07:05,175 --> 00:07:06,384
and none of them will play with me.
111
00:07:06,468 --> 00:07:08,053
Please. It's obvious.
112
00:07:08,136 --> 00:07:11,056
Across town, Miranda
was dealing with her own nightmare.
113
00:07:11,139 --> 00:07:12,891
Look, I know it's juvenile,
but it bothers me.
114
00:07:12,974 --> 00:07:14,684
I'm attractive, I'm smart. Right?
115
00:07:14,768 --> 00:07:16,561
Plenty of people should want me
for a threesome.
116
00:07:17,270 --> 00:07:21,358
So you're saying that you're attracted
to your girlfriends.
117
00:07:21,608 --> 00:07:25,195
No! But if your friends
won't go down on you, who will?
118
00:07:25,528 --> 00:07:26,905
Well, that's some dream.
119
00:07:26,988 --> 00:07:29,491
It was so real.
I can't stop thinking about it.
120
00:07:29,574 --> 00:07:31,785
-And I think I enjoyed it.
-That's great.
121
00:07:31,868 --> 00:07:33,620
Dreams are really good way
to experiment.
122
00:07:33,703 --> 00:07:37,499
It's like... It's like buying a dress
and keeping the tags on.
123
00:07:37,582 --> 00:07:40,794
Do you think it means I should do it?
Have a threesome?
124
00:07:41,169 --> 00:07:43,672
Jack says that I have a fire inside me.
125
00:07:43,755 --> 00:07:45,465
You tell him they make a cream for that.
126
00:07:45,548 --> 00:07:47,133
I'm serious.
127
00:07:47,384 --> 00:07:50,303
I don't know. It's your call,
but don't do it just to make Jack happy.
128
00:07:50,887 --> 00:07:52,555
Maybe it would bring us closer.
129
00:07:52,681 --> 00:07:54,808
Sweetie, don't you think it's weird
130
00:07:54,891 --> 00:07:56,768
that you're thinking of sleeping
with someone you don't know
131
00:07:56,851 --> 00:07:58,353
to get closer to Jack?
132
00:07:59,771 --> 00:08:02,273
But how well do we ever know
the people we sleep with?
133
00:08:02,607 --> 00:08:04,317
That was the thing
about Charlotte.
134
00:08:04,442 --> 00:08:06,236
Just when you were
about to write her off
135
00:08:06,319 --> 00:08:08,279
as a Park Avenue Pollyanna,
136
00:08:08,363 --> 00:08:11,741
she'd say something so right on,
you'd think she was the Dalai Lama.
137
00:08:12,367 --> 00:08:14,577
Do you think my hair's too shiny today?
138
00:08:14,703 --> 00:08:17,038
And then...
she'd say something else.
139
00:08:17,122 --> 00:08:18,123
Do you?
140
00:08:18,206 --> 00:08:20,083
But the bigger
question remained...
141
00:08:20,166 --> 00:08:23,753
If Charlotte was actually considering
a threesome, who wasn't?
142
00:08:23,837 --> 00:08:26,589
The Village Voice had more ads
looking for threesomes
143
00:08:26,673 --> 00:08:30,135
than it did for small, rat-infested
studios running at $1,000 a month.
144
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:32,595
But who actually answered these ads?
145
00:08:33,179 --> 00:08:35,598
"Wall Street honcho seeks
two horny gal pals
146
00:08:35,682 --> 00:08:38,059
for an East Hampton fuck-fest
at my summer home.
147
00:08:38,143 --> 00:08:39,561
No fatties, please."
148
00:08:39,644 --> 00:08:41,855
"Sweet, suburban school teacher
149
00:08:41,938 --> 00:08:45,442
seeks two men
to fulfill her wildest fantasies.
150
00:08:45,525 --> 00:08:49,988
You be Black or Hispanic,
I'll be on time.
151
00:08:50,155 --> 00:08:52,657
I need your dick now."
152
00:08:52,866 --> 00:08:54,659
"X-Files fanatic twosome
153
00:08:54,743 --> 00:08:57,912
seeks Scully look-alike
for abduction fantasy."
154
00:08:57,996 --> 00:09:00,081
"Me, gorgeous with big boobs.
155
00:09:00,165 --> 00:09:02,167
You, a couple with class.
156
00:09:02,250 --> 00:09:04,836
Let's experience everything
the city has to offer.
157
00:09:04,919 --> 00:09:10,884
I'm into museums, blow jobs, theater
and golden showers."
158
00:09:11,801 --> 00:09:14,054
I seem to be the only person
in New York
159
00:09:14,137 --> 00:09:16,431
who still believed
in the one-on-one relationship.
160
00:09:16,514 --> 00:09:18,600
Mr. Big and I
were actually doing sleep-overs.
161
00:09:19,476 --> 00:09:20,643
Which one?
162
00:09:21,895 --> 00:09:23,229
This one.
163
00:09:29,569 --> 00:09:32,655
You better be careful.
I could get used to this.
164
00:09:33,198 --> 00:09:36,076
Why is it that putting a tie
around a man's neck
165
00:09:36,159 --> 00:09:38,661
is sometimes even sexier
than taking it off?
166
00:09:39,037 --> 00:09:40,622
What are you doing for lunch today?
167
00:09:40,705 --> 00:09:43,374
I could maybe swing an hour
between meetings.
168
00:09:43,666 --> 00:09:47,504
No. Sorry, I can't.
169
00:09:47,796 --> 00:09:50,590
-I have to interview someone.
- About what?
170
00:09:50,965 --> 00:09:53,927
Threesomes. Ever done one?
171
00:09:54,302 --> 00:09:55,845
Sure. Who hasn't?
172
00:09:56,846 --> 00:09:59,766
Really. With who?
173
00:10:00,517 --> 00:10:01,601
My ex-wife.
174
00:10:02,227 --> 00:10:04,854
Suddenly my column
was the last thing on my mind.
175
00:10:06,022 --> 00:10:07,107
You were married?
176
00:10:07,190 --> 00:10:11,111
Yeah...
I thought I told you.
177
00:10:12,403 --> 00:10:14,197
No, you didn't.
178
00:10:15,115 --> 00:10:17,242
An ex-wife. That's a new twist.
179
00:10:17,325 --> 00:10:20,537
Yeah. And they had wild sex. Threesomes.
We don't have wild sex.
180
00:10:20,620 --> 00:10:24,541
We used to, but now we have sweet sex.
Wild always beats out sweet.
181
00:10:24,624 --> 00:10:26,209
But he's not with her anymore.
182
00:10:26,292 --> 00:10:28,586
Well, it's probably because
they stopped having wild sex.
183
00:10:28,670 --> 00:10:30,421
You know, that's why Ken's fucking me.
184
00:10:30,505 --> 00:10:32,257
His wife won't give him a blow job.
185
00:10:32,340 --> 00:10:33,591
Is that supposed to make me feel better?
186
00:10:33,675 --> 00:10:36,636
He's never gonna leave his wife
for you, you know? They never do.
187
00:10:36,719 --> 00:10:40,431
Thank God. Who needs the trouble?
This is ideal. No muss, no fuss.
188
00:10:40,515 --> 00:10:42,433
Sounds like you're selling
toilet bowl cleaner.
189
00:10:42,767 --> 00:10:44,769
Does this color turn you on?
190
00:10:45,186 --> 00:10:47,730
You had to hand it to Miranda.
She was determined.
191
00:10:47,856 --> 00:10:49,482
It's a little bit orange.
192
00:10:49,607 --> 00:10:51,901
You know, there's only
one thing left to do.
193
00:10:52,193 --> 00:10:53,945
What? Leave him before he leaves me?
194
00:10:54,112 --> 00:10:56,531
You kidding? Check out the ex.
195
00:11:00,869 --> 00:11:04,455
Charlotte was right. We don't
really know the people we sleep with.
196
00:11:04,873 --> 00:11:07,667
After all, what did I really know
about Mr. Big?
197
00:11:07,834 --> 00:11:09,669
Except he had an ex-wife named Barbara,
198
00:11:09,752 --> 00:11:11,754
who, I quickly discovered,
worked in publishing.
199
00:11:12,005 --> 00:11:13,423
My plan was simple.
200
00:11:13,506 --> 00:11:17,302
I'd pitch her a steamy, bodice-ripping
paperback which she'd probably reject,
201
00:11:17,385 --> 00:11:20,263
but at least I'd get five minutes
face-to-face with her.
202
00:11:20,471 --> 00:11:21,472
Carrie?
203
00:11:22,724 --> 00:11:24,601
Come right in. Barbara's ready for you.
204
00:11:25,435 --> 00:11:27,604
Okay, that's good.
205
00:11:27,687 --> 00:11:28,771
Thanks. Bye.
206
00:11:28,855 --> 00:11:32,108
Carrie Bradshaw. I am so excited.
207
00:11:32,192 --> 00:11:33,610
- Oh.
-Sit down.
208
00:11:33,985 --> 00:11:35,570
I'm a huge fan of your work.
209
00:11:35,737 --> 00:11:37,947
Good taste and beautiful.
Could it get worse?
210
00:11:38,031 --> 00:11:42,327
Oh. Special Olympics chairwoman.
211
00:11:42,452 --> 00:11:44,829
Sorry. I haven't hung it yet.
212
00:11:45,205 --> 00:11:47,332
So, I'm dying to hear your pitch.
213
00:11:47,415 --> 00:11:49,542
I never knew you were interested
in writing children's books.
214
00:11:50,668 --> 00:11:54,005
Well, who doesn't love children's books?
215
00:11:54,797 --> 00:11:57,508
Five minutes of bodice-ripping
material out the window.
216
00:11:57,759 --> 00:12:01,804
So I did what any writer would do.
I pulled an idea out of my ass.
217
00:12:02,597 --> 00:12:09,354
Well, my story is about
a little girl named Cathy...
218
00:12:10,521 --> 00:12:11,564
Little Cathy.
219
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,234
And what makes Little Cathy special?
220
00:12:14,776 --> 00:12:18,780
Well, she's got these magic...
221
00:12:20,323 --> 00:12:21,574
cigarettes.
222
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,078
-She has magic cigarettes?
-Yes.
223
00:12:25,161 --> 00:12:27,914
Little Cathy and her magic cigarettes.
224
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:30,792
And whenever she lights up,
225
00:12:30,875 --> 00:12:34,045
she can go anywhere
in the whole wide world, you know...
226
00:12:34,545 --> 00:12:36,881
Arabia, New Jersey.
227
00:12:37,298 --> 00:12:40,176
I mean, that stuff is all gonna be
worked out, of course.
228
00:12:40,885 --> 00:12:43,763
You want to write a children's book
about smoking?
229
00:12:43,846 --> 00:12:46,266
Well, it's a...
It's a children's book for adults.
230
00:12:52,313 --> 00:12:54,148
You are outrageous. I love it.
231
00:12:54,232 --> 00:12:55,733
I thought you might.
232
00:12:55,817 --> 00:12:59,696
I have been dying to do something
with an edge. This could be great.
233
00:12:59,946 --> 00:13:01,406
It was the last straw.
234
00:13:01,864 --> 00:13:05,034
She was smart, beautiful,
and she got me.
235
00:13:05,451 --> 00:13:06,869
I'd have to kill her.
236
00:13:09,372 --> 00:13:10,999
Meanwhile, Samantha was about to have
237
00:13:11,082 --> 00:13:13,626
her own close encounter
with the third kind.
238
00:13:14,043 --> 00:13:15,878
-Oh, I'm sorry.
-Sorry.
239
00:13:15,962 --> 00:13:17,588
-Ken!
-Sam!
240
00:13:17,672 --> 00:13:20,008
-You two know each other?
-Sure.
241
00:13:20,300 --> 00:13:24,262
Not really. Ruth, this is Sam. Samantha.
242
00:13:24,345 --> 00:13:25,972
She bought some pinot noir from me.
243
00:13:26,055 --> 00:13:28,641
-Sam, this is my wife Ruth.
-Hi.
244
00:13:28,725 --> 00:13:29,809
Hi.
245
00:13:29,892 --> 00:13:32,770
Okay, we should be going. See you.
246
00:13:34,522 --> 00:13:36,399
That afternoon was a first
for Samantha.
247
00:13:36,482 --> 00:13:39,610
She successfully screwed a guy
in under two minutes.
248
00:13:42,322 --> 00:13:45,575
The more Miranda analyzed,
the worse her nightmares got.
249
00:13:45,867 --> 00:13:48,453
So, the four of us get into a cab,
250
00:13:48,745 --> 00:13:50,330
only they won't let me sit in back
with them.
251
00:13:50,413 --> 00:13:51,998
They make me ride up front
with the driver,
252
00:13:52,081 --> 00:13:55,001
who happens to be the original Chris
from The Partridge Family.
253
00:13:55,335 --> 00:13:58,046
What I'm hearing is
that you're still very upset
254
00:13:58,129 --> 00:14:00,340
about being sexually rejected
by your friends.
255
00:14:00,965 --> 00:14:02,342
Let me ask you something.
256
00:14:03,551 --> 00:14:05,470
Would you do a threesome with me?
257
00:14:08,431 --> 00:14:11,476
I think we need to talk about
why you're asking me that.
258
00:14:11,893 --> 00:14:13,519
I take that as a no.
259
00:14:14,812 --> 00:14:17,065
That night,
I thought I could put
260
00:14:17,148 --> 00:14:19,233
the whole Barbara thing out of my mind.
261
00:14:19,650 --> 00:14:22,028
After all, Mr. Big was with me now.
262
00:14:24,238 --> 00:14:27,408
Nibbling his ear lobes?
How sweet.
263
00:14:27,658 --> 00:14:29,619
Let me show you how it's really done.
264
00:14:33,915 --> 00:14:35,792
So I guess you couldn't avoid
a threesome
265
00:14:35,875 --> 00:14:38,419
because even if you're the only person
in the bed,
266
00:14:38,753 --> 00:14:41,172
someone has always
been there before you.
267
00:14:41,547 --> 00:14:44,717
Hey. What just happened? Where'd you go?
268
00:14:46,761 --> 00:14:47,887
I was preoccupied.
269
00:14:48,388 --> 00:14:50,014
No kidding. About what?
270
00:14:50,473 --> 00:14:53,059
Your ex-wife's breasts,
your ex-wife's lips,
271
00:14:53,142 --> 00:14:54,936
your ex-wife's long legs.
272
00:14:55,812 --> 00:14:57,063
My column.
273
00:14:58,272 --> 00:15:02,235
You know, I didn't tell you I was
married because it was a long time ago.
274
00:15:03,027 --> 00:15:04,237
What happened?
275
00:15:05,196 --> 00:15:07,865
Alienation of affection
followed by divorce.
276
00:15:10,451 --> 00:15:12,161
Let's not talk about the past.
277
00:15:12,870 --> 00:15:14,163
Please?
278
00:15:17,417 --> 00:15:21,712
What Mr. Big didn't realize was
the past was sleeping right next to me.
279
00:15:26,426 --> 00:15:27,343
Hey.
280
00:15:27,427 --> 00:15:30,471
The next day, the flesh-and-blood
Barbara asked me to lunch.
281
00:15:30,555 --> 00:15:33,474
-Hi.
-Hi. Thanks for meeting me.
282
00:15:33,558 --> 00:15:35,768
Oh. Thanks for inviting me.
283
00:15:36,227 --> 00:15:38,604
Wow! You changed your hair.
284
00:15:38,980 --> 00:15:41,524
Oh. Well, thanks.
285
00:15:42,233 --> 00:15:46,112
-Listen, I have some not great news.
- I'm back with Mr. Big?
286
00:15:46,195 --> 00:15:49,240
The head guys didn't go
for Little Cathy. But fuck them.
287
00:15:49,323 --> 00:15:51,659
They wouldn't know a good book
if it bit them in the ass.
288
00:15:52,201 --> 00:15:53,369
Yeah, fuck them.
289
00:15:54,036 --> 00:15:55,413
I still love the project.
290
00:15:55,496 --> 00:15:57,707
And at the risk of sounding
like a groupie,
291
00:15:58,374 --> 00:16:00,460
I'd really like it
if we could become friends.
292
00:16:01,586 --> 00:16:02,837
Friends?
293
00:16:03,463 --> 00:16:07,258
Two hours and four chardonnays later,
I was sleeping with the enemy.
294
00:16:07,550 --> 00:16:11,220
-So, never been married?
-Once. Long time ago.
295
00:16:11,345 --> 00:16:12,763
Really? What happened?
296
00:16:13,431 --> 00:16:17,185
He had a wandering eye.
Wandered right over to my best friend.
297
00:16:19,312 --> 00:16:21,439
So what about you?
Are you seeing anyone?
298
00:16:23,774 --> 00:16:25,151
No one special.
299
00:16:26,486 --> 00:16:29,447
For Samantha, the shit
was about to hit the phone.
300
00:16:31,449 --> 00:16:32,700
Hello.
301
00:16:32,783 --> 00:16:34,535
It's over. I told my wife.
302
00:16:34,994 --> 00:16:37,163
-Who is this?
-It's Ken.
303
00:16:37,955 --> 00:16:40,750
Wait. You told Ruth about us?
304
00:16:40,833 --> 00:16:43,419
I'm in love with you.
Now we can be together.
305
00:16:43,503 --> 00:16:46,255
No, no, no.
306
00:16:46,339 --> 00:16:47,548
Hang on.
307
00:16:49,425 --> 00:16:52,178
-Hello.
-Samantha? This is Ruth Scheer,
308
00:16:52,678 --> 00:16:53,679
Ken's wife.
309
00:16:54,222 --> 00:16:56,849
-I found your number in his sock drawer.
-Hang on.
310
00:16:58,226 --> 00:17:00,394
Listen to me. You love your wife.
311
00:17:00,478 --> 00:17:03,731
-No. I'm in love with you.
-No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
312
00:17:03,814 --> 00:17:08,945
Sam's "no muss, no fuss" affair
was starting to feel very mussy.
313
00:17:09,028 --> 00:17:11,405
-I'm back.
-I don't know who you are,
314
00:17:11,489 --> 00:17:13,991
but Ken and I love each other very much.
315
00:17:14,075 --> 00:17:16,035
Of course you do.
316
00:17:16,619 --> 00:17:18,913
And we have an unshakable bond.
317
00:17:18,996 --> 00:17:22,041
Whatever it takes,
I'm gonna keep this marriage together.
318
00:17:22,124 --> 00:17:25,461
Good for you. Now listen, Ruth,
this was a huge mistake.
319
00:17:25,545 --> 00:17:27,964
It didn't mean anything.
It was just sex.
320
00:17:28,130 --> 00:17:29,715
Exactly!
321
00:17:30,299 --> 00:17:33,052
And if
being sexually adventuresome
322
00:17:33,135 --> 00:17:37,515
will keep this marriage together,
then I am prepared to join you...
323
00:17:38,307 --> 00:17:39,267
with him...
324
00:17:40,184 --> 00:17:41,018
in bed.
325
00:17:43,145 --> 00:17:47,483
Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no, no.
326
00:17:47,567 --> 00:17:51,696
Samantha was a guest star.
Series regular was not in her contract.
327
00:17:54,365 --> 00:17:57,618
That night at the Attention Deficit
Disorder Masked Ball,
328
00:17:57,702 --> 00:18:00,580
Charlotte felt free
to indulge her fantasy.
329
00:18:01,289 --> 00:18:05,126
It's amazing what some sequins on
a stick can do to free up inhibitions.
330
00:18:05,209 --> 00:18:09,088
So, who here is your type?
331
00:18:18,347 --> 00:18:19,849
Do you like peacocks?
332
00:18:20,224 --> 00:18:21,517
Do you?
333
00:18:25,980 --> 00:18:28,149
Then,
Charlotte did the unthinkable.
334
00:18:31,902 --> 00:18:35,281
Oh, my God.
She winked at me.
335
00:18:35,364 --> 00:18:36,616
Excellent.
336
00:18:36,949 --> 00:18:38,326
I need to get out of here.
337
00:18:47,585 --> 00:18:49,962
Hey, you okay?
338
00:18:50,046 --> 00:18:51,881
Yeah, I think so.
339
00:18:51,964 --> 00:18:53,299
So, how'd it feel?
340
00:18:54,467 --> 00:18:55,468
Weird.
341
00:18:56,177 --> 00:18:57,678
Well, I enjoyed it.
342
00:19:00,306 --> 00:19:02,600
-I do have another fantasy.
-What's that?
343
00:19:03,309 --> 00:19:05,311
Doing it upstairs at a party.
344
00:19:24,997 --> 00:19:25,998
Can I join you?
345
00:19:28,334 --> 00:19:30,544
She realized
that this was her moment.
346
00:19:30,878 --> 00:19:34,048
If she was going to take the plunge,
it was now or never.
347
00:19:54,527 --> 00:19:57,238
Unfortunately, it was Jack
who plunged first.
348
00:19:58,030 --> 00:20:01,200
Apparently someone else's fire
was a little stronger than Charlotte's.
349
00:20:01,492 --> 00:20:03,994
She was not the guest star
in this fantasy.
350
00:20:14,422 --> 00:20:16,173
Meanwhile, at a bar downtown...
351
00:20:24,265 --> 00:20:27,101
-Miranda?
-Hi.
352
00:20:28,185 --> 00:20:29,478
What a relief.
353
00:20:30,938 --> 00:20:34,734
Most of the women who answered our ad,
well, they were, you know, kind of...
354
00:20:34,817 --> 00:20:35,818
Butt ugly.
355
00:20:36,736 --> 00:20:38,404
Nothing like you.
356
00:20:39,822 --> 00:20:40,740
Thanks.
357
00:20:40,823 --> 00:20:42,783
We've never done anything
like this before.
358
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,537
It's a huge fantasy of Mark's.
359
00:20:46,620 --> 00:20:48,998
I offered to do it
for this 30th birthday.
360
00:20:49,915 --> 00:20:51,500
Whatever happened to giving a nice pen?
361
00:20:56,213 --> 00:20:58,382
So are you doing anything tonight?
362
00:21:00,009 --> 00:21:03,888
Let me just be clear here.
You want to do a threesome with me.
363
00:21:06,265 --> 00:21:08,434
You know, if you're busy, we understand.
364
00:21:09,602 --> 00:21:12,813
I tell you what. Let me just make
a quick phone call. Okay?
365
00:21:25,868 --> 00:21:28,579
That night,
Miranda finally got her validation.
366
00:21:29,455 --> 00:21:31,916
Her shrink had suggested
she come three times a week.
367
00:21:34,627 --> 00:21:36,879
I didn't see Mr. Big for eight days.
368
00:21:37,129 --> 00:21:40,216
-Well, that was a great meal.
-Yeah, it was.
369
00:21:42,051 --> 00:21:43,511
Actually, the food was terrible,
370
00:21:43,594 --> 00:21:45,513
and we were both talking
to each other like strangers.
371
00:21:45,596 --> 00:21:47,056
What is wrong?
372
00:21:47,723 --> 00:21:50,184
Look, you tell me you have an ex-wife.
373
00:21:50,267 --> 00:21:53,270
You tell me you guys had a three-way.
Yes, I asked.
374
00:21:53,354 --> 00:21:57,024
But you drop this big bomb,
and you don't even give me any details.
375
00:21:57,107 --> 00:21:59,652
You don't even tell me why you broke up.
376
00:22:00,569 --> 00:22:01,570
I cheated on her.
377
00:22:01,654 --> 00:22:03,489
-Yeah, I know. She told me at lunch.
-I know you know.
378
00:22:03,572 --> 00:22:04,532
She told me she told you.
379
00:22:05,199 --> 00:22:06,784
-She told you?
-She told me.
380
00:22:07,201 --> 00:22:08,494
See, that's another thing.
381
00:22:08,577 --> 00:22:10,830
You didn't tell me
that you're still talking to her.
382
00:22:11,413 --> 00:22:13,374
I still talk to all my ex-wives.
383
00:22:13,457 --> 00:22:15,626
I'm so not finding that funny.
384
00:22:16,293 --> 00:22:18,712
Oh, come... Listen, wait a minute.
385
00:22:19,922 --> 00:22:22,049
You know, the reason
we had the threesome
386
00:22:22,132 --> 00:22:25,678
is because we were both looking
for something or someone else.
387
00:22:32,935 --> 00:22:35,980
Do you know anyone
who's right for me? Hmm?
388
00:22:38,190 --> 00:22:42,152
How tricky things can be
389
00:22:43,445 --> 00:22:47,074
But I really do believe that...
390
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:49,785
And then it was just
the two of us.
391
00:22:50,578 --> 00:22:53,247
And I realized the real appeal
of the threesome...
392
00:22:53,330 --> 00:22:54,456
it was easy.
393
00:22:54,540 --> 00:22:56,500
It's intimacy that's the bitch.
394
00:22:56,625 --> 00:23:03,549
Listen here
Some things are meant to be
395
00:23:09,096 --> 00:23:11,765
Tried to take it slow
396
00:23:11,849 --> 00:23:14,143
Tried to lose control
