1
00:00:48,005 --> 00:00:49,015
[Carrie] Once upon a time,
2
00:00:49,017 --> 00:00:51,017
in a magical land
called Manhattan,
3
00:00:51,021 --> 00:00:53,021
a young woman fell in love.
4
00:00:57,017 --> 00:00:58,997
Charlotte and Jack locked eyes
5
00:00:59,003 --> 00:01:01,023
at a black-tie benefit
for Epstein/Barr.
6
00:01:04,011 --> 00:01:08,001
She chased him through
every disease in New York.
7
00:01:08,004 --> 00:01:09,014
They've been officially dating
8
00:01:09,008 --> 00:01:11,008
since retinitis pigmentosa.
9
00:01:13,019 --> 00:01:15,019
Jack was perfect for her.
10
00:01:15,017 --> 00:01:17,007
Architect, philanthropist,
11
00:01:17,009 --> 00:01:19,019
and the sex was amazing.
12
00:01:22,003 --> 00:01:23,013
Late one night,
13
00:01:23,007 --> 00:01:25,007
Jack popped
the inevitable question.
14
00:01:25,014 --> 00:01:27,004
-So...
-Mm?
15
00:01:28,013 --> 00:01:29,023
What are your fantasies?
16
00:01:30,010 --> 00:01:32,000
Oh, God.
17
00:01:32,006 --> 00:01:34,016
I'd love to own my own gallery,
18
00:01:35,001 --> 00:01:37,011
and maybe a little cottage
in Maine.
19
00:01:37,010 --> 00:01:39,020
Well, actually I meant more like
20
00:01:39,018 --> 00:01:42,018
screwing in an airplane bathroom
kind of fantasies.
21
00:01:43,001 --> 00:01:45,001
[laughs] Oh.
22
00:01:45,006 --> 00:01:46,016
[Carrie] The closest Charlotte
had ever come
23
00:01:46,018 --> 00:01:47,018
to getting screwed on a plane
24
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,010
was the time she lost
all her luggage
25
00:01:49,009 --> 00:01:51,009
on a flight to Palm Beach.
26
00:01:51,007 --> 00:01:56,007
Well, I've always wanted
to do it in my parents' bed.
27
00:01:57,021 --> 00:02:00,001
Wild, I like it.
28
00:02:00,005 --> 00:02:01,005
What about you?
29
00:02:01,016 --> 00:02:04,996
You, me, and another woman.
30
00:02:05,022 --> 00:02:07,002
[clicks tongue] Come on!
31
00:02:07,003 --> 00:02:08,023
I'm serious.
32
00:02:08,023 --> 00:02:11,023
Charlotte, you have
no idea how sexy you are,
33
00:02:11,017 --> 00:02:12,997
do you?
34
00:02:13,004 --> 00:02:15,024
The idea of you touching
another woman...
35
00:02:17,003 --> 00:02:19,023
God, it makes me hard
just thinking about it.
36
00:02:20,021 --> 00:02:21,021
Wow.
37
00:02:28,014 --> 00:02:31,004
Jack wants us to do a threesome!
38
00:02:31,006 --> 00:02:32,996
Of course, he does,
every guy does.
39
00:02:33,003 --> 00:02:34,023
[Samantha] Threesomes
are huge right now.
40
00:02:34,022 --> 00:02:36,012
They're the blow job of the '90.
41
00:02:36,010 --> 00:02:38,000
What was the blow job
of the '80s?
42
00:02:38,005 --> 00:02:39,005
Anal sex.
43
00:02:39,011 --> 00:02:40,011
Any sex, period.
44
00:02:40,012 --> 00:02:41,022
Don't let him
pressure you into it.
45
00:02:41,022 --> 00:02:43,012
It's just this guy's cheap ploy
46
00:02:43,009 --> 00:02:44,019
to watch you
be a lesbian for a night.
47
00:02:44,023 --> 00:02:46,013
Don't knock it
until you've tried it.
48
00:02:46,014 --> 00:02:49,014
I had a threesome once, I think.
In college.
49
00:02:49,011 --> 00:02:51,021
I was drunk.
I woke up in someone else's bra.
50
00:02:51,019 --> 00:02:53,009
The only way to do a threesome
51
00:02:53,008 --> 00:02:54,008
is to be the guest star.
52
00:02:54,014 --> 00:02:55,024
The guest star?
53
00:02:55,020 --> 00:02:57,020
The girl the couple gets
to come in,
54
00:02:58,001 --> 00:02:59,011
screw, and leave.
55
00:02:59,013 --> 00:03:00,013
The pinch hitter.
56
00:03:00,013 --> 00:03:02,013
[Samantha] Exactly.
It's perfect.
57
00:03:02,009 --> 00:03:03,019
All the great sex
without wondering
58
00:03:03,022 --> 00:03:06,002
what it will do to
your relationship.
59
00:03:06,002 --> 00:03:07,022
But you don't have
relationships.
60
00:03:07,020 --> 00:03:09,020
Which is why I have great sex.
61
00:03:09,017 --> 00:03:10,017
I've never done a threesome.
62
00:03:10,023 --> 00:03:12,023
Because you have relationships.
63
00:03:12,023 --> 00:03:14,013
Well, I've never
done a threesome.
64
00:03:14,010 --> 00:03:16,010
Oh, come on.
Of course, you haven't.
65
00:03:16,015 --> 00:03:18,015
You in a threesome?
You won't even wear a thong!
66
00:03:18,020 --> 00:03:20,020
Well, Jack thinks I'm sexy.
67
00:03:20,019 --> 00:03:22,019
He's just buttering you up.
68
00:03:22,018 --> 00:03:24,008
First, you start thinking
you're hot,
69
00:03:24,007 --> 00:03:26,017
then he brings up
the threesome thing, boom!
70
00:03:26,020 --> 00:03:29,010
Suddenly you're kissing
another woman
while he beats off.
71
00:03:29,012 --> 00:03:30,022
Please.
72
00:03:30,017 --> 00:03:31,997
Just make sure
that the other woman
73
00:03:32,002 --> 00:03:32,022
isn't a friend.
74
00:03:33,001 --> 00:03:34,001
Use somebody random.
75
00:03:34,003 --> 00:03:36,013
You know, somebody you meet
in a bar or something.
76
00:03:36,013 --> 00:03:37,013
That's romantic.
77
00:03:37,016 --> 00:03:40,016
No, I think that I'd feel safer
with a friend,
78
00:03:40,021 --> 00:03:43,021
with someone I could trust,
like Carrie.
79
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,010
Oh, gee, I'm flattered.
80
00:03:46,013 --> 00:03:50,023
But um... I'd go with someone
who has a little more
experience, like Sam.
81
00:03:50,021 --> 00:03:52,011
Well, thanks.
82
00:03:52,008 --> 00:03:54,998
But there is something
sexy about a first-timer
83
00:03:55,004 --> 00:03:56,024
like Charlotte.
84
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,000
Really?
85
00:03:58,004 --> 00:03:59,024
Mm-hmm.
86
00:04:01,012 --> 00:04:03,002
Oh, great, no, forget about me.
87
00:04:03,004 --> 00:04:05,024
-[all] Oh, oh.
-Oh, come on.
88
00:04:05,023 --> 00:04:07,023
You know,
I'd do it with you guys!
89
00:04:07,021 --> 00:04:08,021
It's like...
90
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,000
It's like picking teams
for dodgeball all over again.
91
00:04:12,005 --> 00:04:13,015
[Carrie] Was Samantha right?
92
00:04:13,019 --> 00:04:15,999
Were threesomes
the new sexual frontier?
93
00:04:16,002 --> 00:04:19,002
♪ One, two, three
True love ♪
94
00:04:19,006 --> 00:04:20,006
No question.
95
00:04:20,009 --> 00:04:22,019
Guys were infatuated
with threesomes.
96
00:04:22,021 --> 00:04:26,001
And when I started looking,
they were everywhere.
97
00:04:26,006 --> 00:04:26,996
After all,
98
00:04:27,006 --> 00:04:29,006
our lives are built
on threesomes.
99
00:04:29,014 --> 00:04:33,014
Fat, low-fat, non-fat,
first, business, economy.
100
00:04:33,011 --> 00:04:35,011
Moe, Larry, Curly.
101
00:04:35,007 --> 00:04:36,007
Maybe we were never
meant to do it
102
00:04:36,013 --> 00:04:38,023
with only one other person.
103
00:04:38,017 --> 00:04:43,007
Maybe threesomes were
the relationship of the future.
104
00:04:43,008 --> 00:04:45,008
Meanwhile, Samantha
had been busy
105
00:04:45,009 --> 00:04:47,009
guest starring in a show
I like to call
106
00:04:47,013 --> 00:04:49,013
"Sam Does the Married Guy."
107
00:04:49,013 --> 00:04:51,013
I love that you're not my wife.
108
00:04:51,015 --> 00:04:53,015
I love that too.
109
00:04:53,020 --> 00:04:56,010
I mean, that thing you
do with your hips,
110
00:04:58,002 --> 00:05:00,012
Ruth won't even get on top.
111
00:05:00,011 --> 00:05:02,021
[Carrie] Ken was 37,
a wine importer,
112
00:05:02,023 --> 00:05:04,013
unhappily married to a woman
113
00:05:04,015 --> 00:05:06,015
who designed
modular office furniture.
114
00:05:06,021 --> 00:05:08,021
This affair was
the most exciting thing
115
00:05:09,001 --> 00:05:12,011
that had happened to him
since the '94 Montrachet.
116
00:05:14,014 --> 00:05:17,024
Five hours later,
Charlotte's night
was just beginning.
117
00:05:17,019 --> 00:05:20,999
She and Jack had just had
another fantastic date,
118
00:05:21,004 --> 00:05:22,024
dancing for dyslexia.
119
00:05:22,017 --> 00:05:25,017
So, uh, what do you think
of her?
120
00:05:26,013 --> 00:05:27,023
Is she hot?
121
00:05:28,010 --> 00:05:29,010
Jack!
122
00:05:29,010 --> 00:05:30,020
Yeah, you're right.
123
00:05:31,020 --> 00:05:34,000
Maybe she's more your taste.
124
00:05:34,004 --> 00:05:35,014
Stop it.
125
00:05:36,004 --> 00:05:37,014
Have a light?
126
00:05:37,016 --> 00:05:39,006
Sorry, I don't smoke.
127
00:05:39,008 --> 00:05:40,008
That's a shame.
128
00:05:43,004 --> 00:05:44,014
[chuckles]
129
00:05:44,010 --> 00:05:46,000
Did you see that?
130
00:05:46,004 --> 00:05:47,024
She was flirting with us.
131
00:05:47,022 --> 00:05:49,022
I think she was
flirting with you.
132
00:05:49,022 --> 00:05:52,012
Charlotte, you are
such a turn-on.
133
00:05:52,008 --> 00:05:53,998
And you have no idea.
134
00:05:54,004 --> 00:05:57,014
You're giving off
this sexual energy all the time.
135
00:05:57,015 --> 00:06:00,005
A vibe like you've
got a fire inside of you.
136
00:06:01,023 --> 00:06:04,023
She'd be crazy not
to be into you.
137
00:06:04,019 --> 00:06:07,999
[Carrie] Who knows whether
it was her vodka or her vibe,
138
00:06:08,003 --> 00:06:10,023
but Charlotte suddenly did feel
a little warm.
139
00:06:10,021 --> 00:06:13,011
I think she put her hand
on my leg.
140
00:06:13,011 --> 00:06:15,011
So should I ask her to join us?
141
00:06:20,022 --> 00:06:24,012
[Carrie] That night, she had
an eye-opening experience.
142
00:06:24,011 --> 00:06:30,011
[sensual music]
143
00:06:45,005 --> 00:06:48,005
[alarm rings]
144
00:06:50,008 --> 00:06:51,998
Charlotte hadn't been
that excited
145
00:06:52,004 --> 00:06:56,014
since she tried on her
JV cheerleading uniform
for the first time.
146
00:06:57,015 --> 00:07:00,015
So what do you think
your dream meant?
147
00:07:00,017 --> 00:07:03,017
I'm in the sand box
with Charlotte, Sam, and Carrie.
148
00:07:03,017 --> 00:07:06,007
None of them will play with me.
Please, it's obvious.
149
00:07:06,016 --> 00:07:09,016
[Carrie]
Across town, Miranda was dealing
with her own nightmare.
150
00:07:09,019 --> 00:07:11,019
Look, I know it's juvenile,
but it bothers me.
151
00:07:11,021 --> 00:07:13,011
I'm attractive,
I'm smart, right?
152
00:07:13,013 --> 00:07:15,023
Plenty of people should want me
for a threesome.
153
00:07:15,021 --> 00:07:20,011
So you're saying that you're
attracted to your girlfriends?
154
00:07:20,008 --> 00:07:21,008
No!
155
00:07:21,010 --> 00:07:22,020
But if your friends
won't go down on you,
156
00:07:23,001 --> 00:07:24,001
who will?
157
00:07:24,003 --> 00:07:25,013
Well, that's some dream.
158
00:07:25,015 --> 00:07:26,005
It was so real.
159
00:07:26,016 --> 00:07:27,996
I can't stop thinking about it.
160
00:07:28,006 --> 00:07:30,006
-And I think I enjoyed it.
-That's great.
161
00:07:30,010 --> 00:07:32,010
Dreams are a really good way
to experiment.
162
00:07:32,011 --> 00:07:35,021
It's like buying a dress
and keeping the tags on.
163
00:07:35,021 --> 00:07:38,011
But do you think it means
I should do it?
164
00:07:38,008 --> 00:07:39,018
Have a threesome?
165
00:07:39,020 --> 00:07:42,000
Jack says that I have
a fire inside me.
166
00:07:42,003 --> 00:07:44,013
You tell him they
make a cream for that.
167
00:07:44,007 --> 00:07:45,017
[laughs] I'm serious!
168
00:07:45,017 --> 00:07:46,997
I don't know. It's your call.
169
00:07:47,003 --> 00:07:49,013
But don't do it
just to make Jack happy.
170
00:07:49,012 --> 00:07:51,022
Maybe it would bring us closer.
171
00:07:51,017 --> 00:07:52,997
Sweetie, don't you think
it's weird
172
00:07:53,006 --> 00:07:55,016
that you're thinking of sleeping
with someone you don't know
173
00:07:55,022 --> 00:07:58,002
to get closer to Jack?
174
00:07:58,004 --> 00:08:01,004
But how well do we ever know
the people we sleep with?
175
00:08:01,005 --> 00:08:02,995
[Carrie] That was the thing
about Charlotte.
176
00:08:03,002 --> 00:08:04,022
Just when you were about
to write her off
177
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:06,020
as a Park Avenue Pollyanna,
178
00:08:06,021 --> 00:08:08,021
she'd say something so right on,
179
00:08:08,017 --> 00:08:10,007
you'd think she was
the Dalai Lama.
180
00:08:10,011 --> 00:08:13,011
Do you think my hair
is too shiny today?
181
00:08:13,009 --> 00:08:15,019
[Carrie] And then she'd say
something else.
182
00:08:15,023 --> 00:08:16,023
Do you?
183
00:08:16,023 --> 00:08:18,013
[Carrie] But the bigger
question remained,
184
00:08:18,015 --> 00:08:21,005
if Charlotte was actually
considering a threesome,
185
00:08:21,011 --> 00:08:22,011
who wasn't?
186
00:08:22,012 --> 00:08:23,022
The Village Voice had more ads
187
00:08:24,001 --> 00:08:25,011
looking for threesomes
188
00:08:25,009 --> 00:08:26,009
than it did for small,
189
00:08:26,012 --> 00:08:27,012
rat-infested studios
190
00:08:27,013 --> 00:08:29,013
renting at $1,000 a month.
191
00:08:29,010 --> 00:08:31,020
But who actually
answered these ads?
192
00:08:31,022 --> 00:08:34,012
Wall Street honcho
seeks two horny gal pals
193
00:08:34,008 --> 00:08:36,018
for an East Hampton
fuck-fest at my summer home.
194
00:08:37,001 --> 00:08:38,011
No fatties, please.
195
00:08:38,011 --> 00:08:40,011
Sweet, suburban schoolteacher
196
00:08:40,012 --> 00:08:44,002
seeks two men to fulfill
her wildest fantasies.
197
00:08:44,004 --> 00:08:48,024
You be black or Hispanic,
I'll be on time.
198
00:08:48,019 --> 00:08:51,009
I need your dick now.
199
00:08:51,011 --> 00:08:53,011
X-Files fanatic twosome
200
00:08:53,009 --> 00:08:56,019
seeks Scully look-alike
for abduction fantasy.
201
00:08:56,018 --> 00:08:58,018
Me, gorgeous with big boobs.
202
00:08:58,020 --> 00:09:00,010
You, a couple with class.
203
00:09:00,015 --> 00:09:03,005
Let's experience everything
the city has to offer.
204
00:09:03,016 --> 00:09:07,006
I'm into museums,
blow jobs, theater,
205
00:09:07,013 --> 00:09:09,023
and golden showers.
206
00:09:09,023 --> 00:09:12,023
[Carrie] I seemed to be the only
person in New York
207
00:09:12,017 --> 00:09:14,997
who still believed
in the one-on-one relationship.
208
00:09:15,006 --> 00:09:17,996
Mr. Big and I were actually
doing sleepovers.
209
00:09:18,005 --> 00:09:19,005
Which one?
210
00:09:21,001 --> 00:09:22,011
This one.
211
00:09:28,004 --> 00:09:29,014
You better be careful,
212
00:09:29,013 --> 00:09:31,013
I could get used to this.
213
00:09:31,008 --> 00:09:34,008
[Carrie] Why is it that putting
a tie around a man's neck
214
00:09:34,016 --> 00:09:37,006
is sometimes even sexier
than taking it off?
215
00:09:37,010 --> 00:09:39,010
What are you doing
for lunch today?
216
00:09:39,008 --> 00:09:41,998
I could maybe swing
an hour between meetings.
217
00:09:42,006 --> 00:09:46,006
[laughs] Oh, no, sorry, I can't.
218
00:09:46,014 --> 00:09:48,014
I have to interview someone.
219
00:09:48,007 --> 00:09:49,017
About what?
220
00:09:50,001 --> 00:09:51,021
Threesomes.
221
00:09:51,018 --> 00:09:52,018
Ever done one?
222
00:09:52,020 --> 00:09:55,000
Sure, who hasn't?
223
00:09:55,017 --> 00:09:56,997
Really?
224
00:09:57,018 --> 00:09:58,018
With who?
225
00:09:58,021 --> 00:10:00,021
My ex-wife.
226
00:10:00,022 --> 00:10:04,012
Suddenly, my column was
the last thing on my mind.
227
00:10:04,014 --> 00:10:05,024
You were married?
228
00:10:05,019 --> 00:10:10,009
[clears throat] Yeah, I, uh,
thought I told you.
229
00:10:11,003 --> 00:10:13,023
No, no, you didn't.
230
00:10:13,017 --> 00:10:15,017
An ex-wife, that's a new twist.
231
00:10:15,021 --> 00:10:18,011
Yeah, and they had wild sex,
threesomes.
232
00:10:18,008 --> 00:10:19,008
We don't have wild sex.
233
00:10:19,009 --> 00:10:21,019
We used to,
but now we have sweet sex.
234
00:10:21,021 --> 00:10:23,021
Wild always beats out sweet.
235
00:10:23,017 --> 00:10:24,017
But he's not with her anymore.
236
00:10:24,021 --> 00:10:27,001
Well, probably because they
stopped having wild sex.
237
00:10:27,003 --> 00:10:29,013
You know,
that's why Ken's fucking me.
238
00:10:29,007 --> 00:10:30,017
His wife won't even
give him a blow job.
239
00:10:31,001 --> 00:10:32,011
Is that supposed to
make me feel better?
240
00:10:32,007 --> 00:10:34,007
He's never gonna leave his wife
for you, you know.
241
00:10:34,009 --> 00:10:35,009
They never do.
242
00:10:35,010 --> 00:10:37,000
Thank God.
Who needs the trouble?
243
00:10:37,002 --> 00:10:39,002
This is ideal, no muss, no fuss.
244
00:10:39,006 --> 00:10:40,996
Sounds like you're selling
toilet bowl cleaner.
245
00:10:41,006 --> 00:10:43,006
Does this color turn you on?
246
00:10:43,007 --> 00:10:46,007
[Carrie] You had to hand it
to Miranda, she was determined.
247
00:10:46,013 --> 00:10:48,003
It's a little bit orange.
248
00:10:48,005 --> 00:10:50,015
You know, there's only
one thing left to do.
249
00:10:50,017 --> 00:10:52,017
What, leave him
before he leaves me?
250
00:10:52,021 --> 00:10:54,001
You kidding?
251
00:10:54,004 --> 00:10:55,014
Check out the ex.
252
00:10:59,008 --> 00:11:00,018
[Carrie] Charlotte was right.
253
00:11:00,020 --> 00:11:03,010
We don't really know
the people we sleep with.
254
00:11:03,010 --> 00:11:06,010
After all,
what did I really know
about Mr. Big?
255
00:11:06,011 --> 00:11:08,001
Except he had
an ex-wife named Barbara
256
00:11:08,006 --> 00:11:10,006
who I quickly discovered,
worked in publishing.
257
00:11:10,016 --> 00:11:11,016
My plan was simple.
258
00:11:12,001 --> 00:11:14,021
I'd pitch her a steamy,
bodice-ripping paperback,
259
00:11:14,020 --> 00:11:16,000
which she'd probably reject,
260
00:11:16,004 --> 00:11:17,024
but at least
I'd get five minutes
261
00:11:17,017 --> 00:11:19,007
face-to-face with her.
262
00:11:19,007 --> 00:11:21,007
Carrie?
263
00:11:21,009 --> 00:11:23,019
Come right in,
Barbara's ready for you.
264
00:11:26,012 --> 00:11:27,012
Thanks, bye.
265
00:11:27,012 --> 00:11:30,022
Carrie Bradshaw,
I am so excited.
266
00:11:30,017 --> 00:11:32,007
-[Carrie] Oh.
-Sit down.
267
00:11:32,009 --> 00:11:33,019
I am a huge fan of your work!
268
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,020
[Carrie]
Good taste and beautiful.
Could it get worse?
269
00:11:36,017 --> 00:11:37,017
Whoa.
270
00:11:38,023 --> 00:11:41,013
Special Olympics chairwoman.
271
00:11:41,011 --> 00:11:43,021
Sorry, I haven't hung it yet.
272
00:11:43,019 --> 00:11:45,009
So, I'm dying
to hear your pitch.
273
00:11:45,016 --> 00:11:49,006
I never knew
you were interested
in writing children's books.
274
00:11:49,008 --> 00:11:52,018
Well, who doesn't
love children's books?
275
00:11:53,001 --> 00:11:56,001
Five minutes of bodice-ripping
material out the window.
276
00:11:56,003 --> 00:11:58,023
So I did
what any writer would do.
277
00:11:58,020 --> 00:12:01,010
I pulled an idea out of my ass.
278
00:12:01,008 --> 00:12:06,008
Well, my story is about
a little girl,
279
00:12:07,014 --> 00:12:08,024
named Cathy.
280
00:12:09,007 --> 00:12:10,007
Little Cathy.
281
00:12:10,013 --> 00:12:13,013
And what makes
little Cathy special?
282
00:12:13,012 --> 00:12:17,012
Well, she's got these magic...
283
00:12:19,003 --> 00:12:20,023
cigarettes.
284
00:12:20,023 --> 00:12:22,023
She has magic cigarettes?
285
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:27,010
Yes, little Cathy
and her magic cigarettes.
286
00:12:27,011 --> 00:12:31,001
And whenever she lights up,
she can go anywhere
287
00:12:31,003 --> 00:12:35,023
in the whole wide world.
You know, Arabia, New Jersey.
288
00:12:35,020 --> 00:12:39,010
I mean that stuff is all
gonna be worked out, of course.
289
00:12:39,013 --> 00:12:42,013
You wanna write
a children's book about smoking?
290
00:12:42,013 --> 00:12:45,013
Well, it's a children's book
for adults.
291
00:12:49,014 --> 00:12:52,024
[laughs] You are outrageous.
I love it!
292
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:54,010
I thought you might.
293
00:12:54,009 --> 00:12:56,999
I've been dying to do
something with an edge.
294
00:12:57,005 --> 00:12:58,015
This could be great.
295
00:12:58,017 --> 00:12:59,997
[Carrie] It was the last straw.
296
00:13:00,005 --> 00:13:03,015
She was smart,
beautiful, and she got me.
297
00:13:03,017 --> 00:13:05,017
I'd have to kill her.
298
00:13:07,022 --> 00:13:09,022
Meanwhile, Samantha
was about to have her own
299
00:13:09,021 --> 00:13:12,021
close encounter
with the third kind.
300
00:13:12,018 --> 00:13:14,018
-Oh, I'm sorry.
-Sorry.
301
00:13:14,019 --> 00:13:16,009
-Ken.
-Sam!
302
00:13:16,007 --> 00:13:17,997
You two know each other?
303
00:13:18,002 --> 00:13:19,022
-Sure.
-Not really.
304
00:13:19,023 --> 00:13:22,023
[chuckles] Uh, Ruth,
this is Sam, Samantha.
305
00:13:22,018 --> 00:13:25,008
She bought some
Pinot Noir from me.
306
00:13:25,007 --> 00:13:26,017
Uh, Sam, this is my wife, Ruth.
307
00:13:26,022 --> 00:13:28,012
-Hi.
-Hi.
308
00:13:28,016 --> 00:13:32,996
Okay, we should
be going, see ya.
309
00:13:33,002 --> 00:13:35,002
[Carrie] That afternoon was
a first for Samantha.
310
00:13:35,002 --> 00:13:38,012
She successfully screwed a guy
in under two minutes.
311
00:13:40,018 --> 00:13:42,008
The more Miranda analyzed,
312
00:13:42,015 --> 00:13:44,005
the worse her nightmares got.
313
00:13:44,011 --> 00:13:46,021
So, the four of us
get into a cab,
314
00:13:47,001 --> 00:13:49,001
only they won't let me
sit in back with them.
315
00:13:49,002 --> 00:13:50,022
They make me ride up front
with the driver,
316
00:13:50,018 --> 00:13:52,008
who happens to be
the original Chris
317
00:13:52,009 --> 00:13:53,019
from The Partridge Family .
318
00:13:53,022 --> 00:13:56,022
What I'm hearing is
that you're still very upset
319
00:13:56,023 --> 00:13:59,013
about being sexually rejected
by your friends.
320
00:13:59,009 --> 00:14:01,999
Let me ask you something?
321
00:14:02,004 --> 00:14:04,014
Would you do a threesome
with me?
322
00:14:07,002 --> 00:14:10,022
I think we need to talk about
why you're asking me that.
323
00:14:10,017 --> 00:14:13,007
I take that as a "no"?
324
00:14:13,009 --> 00:14:16,019
[Carrie] That night,
I thought I could put
the whole Barbara thing
325
00:14:16,019 --> 00:14:18,009
out of my mind.
326
00:14:18,010 --> 00:14:20,020
After all, Mr. Big
was with me now.
327
00:14:22,023 --> 00:14:24,023
[Barbara] Nibbling his earlobes?
328
00:14:25,001 --> 00:14:26,001
How sweet.
329
00:14:26,003 --> 00:14:28,023
Let me show you
how it's really done.
330
00:14:32,002 --> 00:14:34,012
[Carrie] So I guess you couldn't
avoid a threesome,
331
00:14:34,013 --> 00:14:37,013
because even if you're
the only person in the bed,
332
00:14:37,013 --> 00:14:40,013
someone has always
been there before you.
333
00:14:40,008 --> 00:14:42,008
Hey, what just happened?
334
00:14:42,013 --> 00:14:43,023
Where'd you go?
335
00:14:45,010 --> 00:14:46,020
I was preoccupied.
336
00:14:46,021 --> 00:14:48,021
No kidding.
About what?
337
00:14:48,021 --> 00:14:51,021
[Carrie] Your ex-wife's breasts,
your ex-wife's lips,
338
00:14:51,021 --> 00:14:53,021
your ex-wife's long legs.
339
00:14:54,017 --> 00:14:56,017
My column.
340
00:14:56,021 --> 00:14:59,011
You know, I didn't
tell you I was married
341
00:14:59,011 --> 00:15:01,021
because it was a long time ago.
342
00:15:01,018 --> 00:15:03,018
What happened?
343
00:15:03,018 --> 00:15:06,998
Alienation of affection,
followed by divorce.
344
00:15:07,003 --> 00:15:08,023
Hmm.
345
00:15:08,020 --> 00:15:12,020
Let's not talk about
the past, please.
346
00:15:15,019 --> 00:15:17,019
[Carrie] What Mr. Big
didn't realize was
347
00:15:17,020 --> 00:15:20,010
the past was sleeping
right next to me.
348
00:15:25,003 --> 00:15:26,003
Hey.
349
00:15:26,004 --> 00:15:28,014
The next day,
the flesh and blood Barbara
350
00:15:28,013 --> 00:15:29,023
asked me to lunch.
351
00:15:29,018 --> 00:15:30,018
-Hi.
-Hi.
352
00:15:30,021 --> 00:15:32,011
Thanks for meeting me.
353
00:15:32,009 --> 00:15:34,009
Oh, thanks for inviting me.
354
00:15:34,014 --> 00:15:37,014
Wow, you changed your hair.
355
00:15:37,013 --> 00:15:40,023
Oh, thanks.
356
00:15:40,017 --> 00:15:43,007
Listen, I have
some not-great news.
357
00:15:43,013 --> 00:15:44,023
[Carrie] I'm back with Mr. Big?
358
00:15:44,021 --> 00:15:46,021
The head guys didn't go
for Little Cathy .
359
00:15:46,017 --> 00:15:49,997
But fuck 'em,
they wouldn't know a good book
if it bit 'em in the ass.
360
00:15:50,021 --> 00:15:52,011
Yeah, fuck 'em.
361
00:15:52,008 --> 00:15:53,018
I still love the project,
362
00:15:54,001 --> 00:15:56,011
and at the risk
of sounding like a groupie,
363
00:15:56,013 --> 00:15:59,013
I'd really like it if
we could become friends.
364
00:16:00,006 --> 00:16:01,016
Friends?
365
00:16:02,001 --> 00:16:04,001
Two hours
and four Chardonnays later,
366
00:16:04,004 --> 00:16:06,004
I was sleeping with the enemy.
367
00:16:06,005 --> 00:16:07,005
So never been married?
368
00:16:07,012 --> 00:16:10,002
Mm, once.
Long time ago.
369
00:16:10,003 --> 00:16:12,003
Really?
What happened?
370
00:16:12,006 --> 00:16:13,006
He had a wandering eye.
371
00:16:13,012 --> 00:16:16,002
[scoffs] It wandered right over
to my best friend.
372
00:16:17,015 --> 00:16:20,005
So what about you?
Are you seeing anyone?
373
00:16:22,014 --> 00:16:24,014
No one special.
374
00:16:24,012 --> 00:16:27,022
For Samantha,
the shit was about
to hit the phone.
375
00:16:28,001 --> 00:16:31,011
-[telephone ringing]
-Hello.
376
00:16:31,012 --> 00:16:33,012
It's over.
I told my wife!
377
00:16:33,013 --> 00:16:34,023
Who is this?
378
00:16:34,018 --> 00:16:36,008
It's Ken.
379
00:16:36,014 --> 00:16:39,014
Wait, you told Ruth about us?
380
00:16:39,015 --> 00:16:40,015
I'm in love with you.
381
00:16:40,021 --> 00:16:42,001
Now we can be together.
382
00:16:42,005 --> 00:16:44,005
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no!
383
00:16:44,008 --> 00:16:46,008
-[telephone beeps]
-Hang on.
384
00:16:48,007 --> 00:16:49,007
-Hello.
-Samantha?
385
00:16:49,014 --> 00:16:52,014
This is Ruth Scheer.
Ken's wife.
386
00:16:52,012 --> 00:16:54,022
Yeah, I found your number
in his sock drawer.
387
00:16:54,018 --> 00:16:56,018
Hang on.
388
00:16:56,018 --> 00:16:58,998
Listen to me,
you love your wife.
389
00:16:59,005 --> 00:17:00,015
No, I'm in love with you!
390
00:17:00,022 --> 00:17:02,012
No, no, no, no, no, no!
391
00:17:02,016 --> 00:17:04,016
[Carrie] Sam's no muss,
no fuss affair
392
00:17:04,019 --> 00:17:07,019
was starting to feel very mussy.
393
00:17:07,018 --> 00:17:08,018
I'm back.
394
00:17:08,018 --> 00:17:09,998
I don't know who you are,
395
00:17:10,004 --> 00:17:12,024
but Ken and I love
each other very much.
396
00:17:12,018 --> 00:17:15,008
Of course you do.
397
00:17:15,007 --> 00:17:17,007
And we have an unshakable bond.
398
00:17:17,013 --> 00:17:20,023
Whatever it takes,
I'm gonna keep
this marriage together.
399
00:17:20,018 --> 00:17:23,998
Good for you!
Now, listen, Ruth,
this was a huge mistake.
400
00:17:24,005 --> 00:17:25,005
It didn't mean anything.
401
00:17:25,013 --> 00:17:26,023
It was just sex.
402
00:17:26,023 --> 00:17:28,013
Well, exactly!
403
00:17:28,015 --> 00:17:31,015
And if being
sexually adventuresome
404
00:17:31,019 --> 00:17:33,009
will keep this
marriage together,
405
00:17:33,013 --> 00:17:36,003
then I am prepared
to join you...
406
00:17:37,004 --> 00:17:38,014
with him.
407
00:17:39,001 --> 00:17:40,001
In bed.
408
00:17:41,023 --> 00:17:43,013
Oh, no.
409
00:17:43,007 --> 00:17:45,997
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
410
00:17:46,005 --> 00:17:47,015
[Carrie] Samantha
was a guest star.
411
00:17:47,021 --> 00:17:50,021
Series regular
was not in her contract.
412
00:17:52,020 --> 00:17:56,010
That night at the Attention
Deficit Disorder masked ball,
413
00:17:56,008 --> 00:17:59,008
Charlotte felt free
to indulge her fantasy.
414
00:17:59,015 --> 00:18:01,015
It's amazing what some sequins
on a stick
415
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:03,020
can do to free up inhibitions.
416
00:18:03,022 --> 00:18:07,022
So who here is your type?
417
00:18:08,022 --> 00:18:15,012
[opera music]
418
00:18:16,022 --> 00:18:18,022
[Charlotte]
Do you like peacocks?
419
00:18:18,022 --> 00:18:20,002
Do you?
420
00:18:24,009 --> 00:18:26,999
[Carrie] Then Charlotte
did the unthinkable.
421
00:18:30,010 --> 00:18:34,010
[laughs] Oh, my God.
Oh, my God, she winked at me.
422
00:18:34,007 --> 00:18:35,007
Excellent.
423
00:18:35,015 --> 00:18:37,005
I need to get out of here.
424
00:18:46,005 --> 00:18:48,015
Hey, you okay?
425
00:18:48,018 --> 00:18:50,018
Yeah, yeah, I think so.
426
00:18:50,019 --> 00:18:52,009
So how'd it feel?
427
00:18:53,007 --> 00:18:54,017
Weird.
428
00:18:54,022 --> 00:18:56,022
Well, I enjoyed it.
429
00:18:58,022 --> 00:19:00,012
I do have another fantasy.
430
00:19:00,014 --> 00:19:02,004
What's that?
431
00:19:02,003 --> 00:19:04,013
Doing it upstairs at a party.
432
00:19:06,023 --> 00:19:12,013
[opera music continues]
433
00:19:18,018 --> 00:19:19,998
[woman clears throat]
434
00:19:23,018 --> 00:19:24,018
Can I join you?
435
00:19:26,018 --> 00:19:29,008
[Carrie] She realized that
this was her moment.
436
00:19:29,008 --> 00:19:30,998
If she was going to
take the plunge,
437
00:19:31,005 --> 00:19:32,015
it was now or never.
438
00:19:34,012 --> 00:19:35,022
[giggles]
439
00:19:53,003 --> 00:19:56,013
Unfortunately,
it was Jack who plunged first.
440
00:19:56,015 --> 00:19:57,995
Apparently, someone else's fire
441
00:19:58,004 --> 00:20:00,004
was a little stronger
than Charlotte's.
442
00:20:00,003 --> 00:20:03,003
She was not the guest star
in this fantasy.
443
00:20:03,003 --> 00:20:05,003
[moaning]
444
00:20:13,005 --> 00:20:14,995
Meanwhile, at a bar downtown...
445
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:24,010
[stammers] Miranda?
446
00:20:25,010 --> 00:20:26,010
Hi.
447
00:20:27,001 --> 00:20:28,011
What a relief.
448
00:20:28,010 --> 00:20:29,010
Oh!
449
00:20:29,013 --> 00:20:32,013
Most of the women
who answered our ad, well,
450
00:20:32,007 --> 00:20:33,007
they were, you know, kind of...
451
00:20:33,016 --> 00:20:35,006
-Butt ugly.
-Yeah.
452
00:20:35,011 --> 00:20:37,021
Oh, nothing like you.
453
00:20:38,018 --> 00:20:39,018
Thanks.
454
00:20:39,019 --> 00:20:41,009
We've never done anything
like this before.
455
00:20:41,012 --> 00:20:45,002
[laughs] It's a huge fantasy
of Mark's.
456
00:20:45,002 --> 00:20:48,012
I offered to do it
for his 30th birthday.
457
00:20:48,012 --> 00:20:50,012
Whatever happened
to giving a nice pen?
458
00:20:50,013 --> 00:20:52,013
[everyone laughs]
459
00:20:53,004 --> 00:20:54,014
[sighs]
460
00:20:54,016 --> 00:20:56,016
So are-- are you doing
anything tonight?
461
00:20:58,018 --> 00:21:00,018
Let me just be clear here.
462
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,010
You want to do a
threesome with me.
463
00:21:03,012 --> 00:21:04,022
Yeah. [giggles]
464
00:21:04,021 --> 00:21:08,001
You know, if you're busy,
we understand.
465
00:21:08,004 --> 00:21:11,024
I tell you what,
let me just make a quick
phone call, okay?
466
00:21:24,009 --> 00:21:27,019
[Carrie] That night, Miranda
finally got her validation.
467
00:21:27,023 --> 00:21:31,013
Her shrink had suggested
she come three times a week.
468
00:21:33,004 --> 00:21:35,024
I didn't see Mr. Big
for eight days.
469
00:21:35,019 --> 00:21:37,019
Well, that was a great meal.
470
00:21:37,023 --> 00:21:39,003
Yeah, it was.
471
00:21:40,013 --> 00:21:42,003
Actually, the food was terrible
472
00:21:42,003 --> 00:21:44,013
and we were both talking
to each other like strangers.
473
00:21:44,009 --> 00:21:45,019
What is wrong?
474
00:21:46,015 --> 00:21:47,005
Look.
475
00:21:47,015 --> 00:21:48,015
You tell me you have an ex-wife,
476
00:21:49,001 --> 00:21:50,021
you tell me you guys
had a three-way.
477
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:52,000
Yes, I asked.
478
00:21:52,003 --> 00:21:54,013
But you drop this big bomb,
479
00:21:54,007 --> 00:21:55,017
and you don't even
give me any details.
480
00:21:55,022 --> 00:21:59,002
You don't even tell me
why you broke up.
481
00:21:59,006 --> 00:22:00,006
I cheated on her.
482
00:22:00,007 --> 00:22:01,017
Yeah, I know,
she told me at lunch.
483
00:22:01,017 --> 00:22:03,017
I know you know.
She told me she told you.
484
00:22:03,019 --> 00:22:05,019
-She told you?
-She told me.
485
00:22:05,021 --> 00:22:07,001
See that's another thing.
486
00:22:07,006 --> 00:22:09,016
You didn't tell me that
you're still talking to her.
487
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,000
I still talk to all my ex-wives.
488
00:22:12,006 --> 00:22:14,016
I'm so not finding that funny.
489
00:22:14,022 --> 00:22:18,012
Oh, come--
Listen, wait a minute.
490
00:22:18,013 --> 00:22:20,023
You know, the reason
we had the threesome
491
00:22:20,020 --> 00:22:22,000
is because we were both looking
492
00:22:22,004 --> 00:22:24,024
for something or someone else.
493
00:22:31,017 --> 00:22:34,017

And I realized the real appeal
of the threesome,
498
00:22:51,020 --> 00:22:53,010
it was easy.
499
00:22:53,007 --> 00:22:55,007
