1
00:00:58,250 --> 00:01:01,500
[Carrie] The worst thing about
not being in a relationship...
2
00:01:06,125 --> 00:01:08,875
is when your job
is to write about
3
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:10,959
being in a relationship.
4
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,249
Remember that guy
who wore sandals?
5
00:01:19,333 --> 00:01:20,793
Randall the sandal guy?
6
00:01:20,875 --> 00:01:22,035
We went on a couple of dates?
7
00:01:22,125 --> 00:01:23,415
Like six years ago?
8
00:01:23,500 --> 00:01:27,250
-Yeah. Is that anything?
-His name was Randall?
9
00:01:27,333 --> 00:01:30,543
No, but I'm scraping the bottom
of the barrel here, ladies.
10
00:01:30,625 --> 00:01:32,625
Last week I wrote
about my search
11
00:01:32,709 --> 00:01:34,129
for the perfect french fry.
12
00:01:34,208 --> 00:01:35,788
-Ooh, I saw that.
-It was cute.
13
00:01:35,875 --> 00:01:36,825
Oh.
14
00:01:38,667 --> 00:01:41,247
Uh-huh, french fries.
15
00:01:41,333 --> 00:01:42,923
You didn't read it, did you?
16
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:44,630
I... [sighs]
17
00:01:44,709 --> 00:01:47,379
I don't always have time
to read your column.
18
00:01:48,333 --> 00:01:50,083
Huh. Okay, then.
19
00:01:50,166 --> 00:01:53,126
Wow, even my friends
find me irrelevant.
20
00:01:53,208 --> 00:01:54,418
Hey, I read it every week.
21
00:01:54,500 --> 00:01:56,500
You have a little man hanging
from your breast.
22
00:01:56,583 --> 00:01:57,713
What else are you gonna do?
23
00:01:57,792 --> 00:02:00,582
-Eat.
-I'm in a dating desert.
24
00:02:00,667 --> 00:02:02,957
They're gonna have to change
the name of my column to just...
25
00:02:03,041 --> 00:02:04,671
[whistling]
"...and the City."
26
00:02:04,750 --> 00:02:06,000
Or they'll just cancel it.
27
00:02:06,083 --> 00:02:07,923
You're on the side of a bus,
for God's sake.
28
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,380
Then why did my editor call?
He never calls.
29
00:02:10,458 --> 00:02:13,328
I am not getting laid,
therefore, I'm getting laid off.
30
00:02:13,417 --> 00:02:15,577
You're not getting laid off.
31
00:02:15,667 --> 00:02:18,247
Samantha, I don't know if
you read the rest of the paper,
32
00:02:18,333 --> 00:02:19,463
but these are troubled times.
33
00:02:19,542 --> 00:02:21,462
People with real jobs
are getting laid off.
34
00:02:21,542 --> 00:02:25,292
This is not a good economy
in which to be...
whipped cream.
35
00:02:25,375 --> 00:02:29,325
Last night, I actually started
writing about my sock drawer.
36
00:02:29,417 --> 00:02:31,037
Men as socks.
37
00:02:31,125 --> 00:02:32,785
Hmm, "Socks and the City."
38
00:02:32,875 --> 00:02:34,915
I think you and I need
to go find some men.
39
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,000
There are no men.
40
00:02:36,083 --> 00:02:37,633
-That's the problem.
-There are men.
41
00:02:37,709 --> 00:02:39,959
You just have to know
where to look for them.
When are you free?
42
00:02:40,041 --> 00:02:42,631
No, no.
I'm not trolling for men just to
have something to write about.
43
00:02:42,709 --> 00:02:44,789
You people go have sex,
report back.
44
00:02:44,875 --> 00:02:46,995
I can only help if you want
to write about babyproofing.
45
00:02:47,083 --> 00:02:50,083
I'll tell you how to babyproof,
use a condom.
46
00:02:50,166 --> 00:02:51,246
What can I get you?
47
00:02:51,333 --> 00:02:54,793
I'd like the veggie scramble
and wheat toast.
48
00:02:54,875 --> 00:02:56,245
I'll have an order of fries.
49
00:02:56,333 --> 00:02:57,713
Maybe I'll make it a two-parter.
50
00:02:57,792 --> 00:03:00,172
I'd like the Denver omelet
and hash browns, thank you.
51
00:03:00,250 --> 00:03:02,920
I'll have the fruit plate,
and I'm back with Richard.
52
00:03:04,667 --> 00:03:06,917
Richard, whose death
we've been plotting?
53
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,790
Wow, maybe there are no men.
54
00:03:08,875 --> 00:03:11,705
I finally agreed to listen
to what he had to say and...
55
00:03:11,792 --> 00:03:14,132
I've never known anyone
like you, Samantha.
56
00:03:14,208 --> 00:03:15,828
I was in over my head...
57
00:03:15,917 --> 00:03:17,207
and I got scared.
58
00:03:17,291 --> 00:03:19,001
He got scared?
59
00:03:19,083 --> 00:03:20,963
Well, that doesn't excuse the--
60
00:03:22,041 --> 00:03:24,421
Okay, that, coming from you,
61
00:03:24,500 --> 00:03:27,250
is almost as disturbing
as the news itself.
62
00:03:27,333 --> 00:03:29,503
I get scared,
I hide under the covers,
63
00:03:29,583 --> 00:03:30,963
not between somebody's legs.
64
00:03:31,041 --> 00:03:32,421
Perhaps you had to be there.
65
00:03:32,500 --> 00:03:33,880
Perhaps you're gonna have
to be there around the clock
66
00:03:33,959 --> 00:03:35,789
to make sure he doesn't
get "scared" again.
67
00:03:35,875 --> 00:03:38,915
You know, being scared is not an
easy thing for a man to admit.
68
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,380
So what, they get a medal for
correctly identifying a feeling?
69
00:03:42,458 --> 00:03:43,628
We do that all day long.
70
00:03:43,709 --> 00:03:44,879
"I feel pissed off."
71
00:03:44,959 --> 00:03:45,959
Ta-da!
72
00:03:46,041 --> 00:03:48,331
D.N.R.
Do not resuscitate.
73
00:03:48,417 --> 00:03:49,997
I'm not an idiot.
74
00:03:50,083 --> 00:03:51,673
I understand,
as a woman of the world,
75
00:03:51,750 --> 00:03:55,380
that Richard is a very
charismatic and successful man.
76
00:03:55,458 --> 00:03:58,538
And an interesting pussy might
cross his path now and then.
77
00:03:58,625 --> 00:03:59,915
And he might fall--
78
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:00,830
Into it?
79
00:04:00,917 --> 00:04:02,377
And if he does, it's just sex.
80
00:04:02,458 --> 00:04:04,918
That might be a flaw in him,
but you know what?
81
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,460
Nobody's perfect.
82
00:04:06,542 --> 00:04:08,082
Some women can't even
get their husbands
83
00:04:08,166 --> 00:04:09,706
to pick up the dry cleaning.
84
00:04:09,792 --> 00:04:13,252
You're comparing not wanting
to pick up dry cleaning with...
85
00:04:13,333 --> 00:04:15,423
-Charlotte, do the thing.
-No!
86
00:04:15,500 --> 00:04:18,540
Look, I know he loves me,
I believe he's sorry,
87
00:04:18,625 --> 00:04:20,825
and I believe
he'll try his best.
88
00:04:20,917 --> 00:04:24,577
Well, then that's your choice
and we should all respect it.
89
00:04:24,667 --> 00:04:27,127
Now, how about this
for a column?
90
00:04:27,208 --> 00:04:29,788
"Desperate women
who will believe anything."
91
00:04:33,750 --> 00:04:35,920
The next day, two parents
covered outlets
92
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,710
to prevent their baby
from getting shocked.
93
00:04:40,333 --> 00:04:41,963
I was thinking...
94
00:04:43,417 --> 00:04:46,077
Maybe we want to get
Brady baptized.
95
00:04:46,166 --> 00:04:48,666
[Carrie] For grown-ups,
there is no such safeguard.
96
00:04:48,750 --> 00:04:50,580
Neither of us
even goes to church!
97
00:04:50,667 --> 00:04:52,787
Yeah, I know that.
But it's tradition.
98
00:04:52,875 --> 00:04:55,165
You know, I was baptized,
my father, my father's father.
99
00:04:55,250 --> 00:04:57,830
Everybody in my family
gets baptized, you know.
100
00:04:57,917 --> 00:05:00,037
And it would really
mean a lot to my ma.
101
00:05:00,125 --> 00:05:01,035
Your ma?
102
00:05:01,125 --> 00:05:02,375
Shh.
103
00:05:06,875 --> 00:05:08,915
You never even had a mother
when we were going out!
104
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,750
This is the first
I've ever heard of your mother,
105
00:05:10,834 --> 00:05:12,464
and clearly, you are
just trotting her out
106
00:05:12,542 --> 00:05:13,712
to make a case for religion.
107
00:05:13,792 --> 00:05:15,332
It's not about religion.
It's not about God.
108
00:05:15,417 --> 00:05:17,537
It's just something
you do "in case,"
109
00:05:17,625 --> 00:05:20,535
so the baby don't
end up in limbo.
110
00:05:20,625 --> 00:05:23,455
[laughs] You don't even
know what that means.
111
00:05:23,542 --> 00:05:24,632
I do so!
112
00:05:24,709 --> 00:05:25,919
So what is it?
113
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,580
It's a place where babies
fly around without bodies,
114
00:05:28,667 --> 00:05:30,917
just wings under their neck.
115
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,130
Yeah, that sounds like something
we should worry about.
116
00:05:34,208 --> 00:05:35,828
Brady isn't even crawling yet,
117
00:05:35,917 --> 00:05:38,627
and you've got us baby-proofing
every inch of this apartment!
118
00:05:38,709 --> 00:05:40,539
But you won't let someone
sprinkle a little water
119
00:05:40,625 --> 00:05:42,125
on his head
so he doesn't go to hell?
120
00:05:42,208 --> 00:05:43,998
[Carrie] Miranda didn't
believe in hell,
121
00:05:44,083 --> 00:05:45,963
except the hell
she was in right now.
122
00:05:46,041 --> 00:05:49,001
This is why I was worried
about having you involved.
123
00:05:49,083 --> 00:05:51,083
Why should I go through
some stupid ceremony
124
00:05:51,166 --> 00:05:53,326
just to make your ma happy?
125
00:05:53,417 --> 00:05:54,577
It's nice.
126
00:05:54,667 --> 00:05:57,077
Everybody sees the baby.
You have cake.
127
00:05:57,166 --> 00:05:58,206
Some people give you money.
128
00:05:58,291 --> 00:06:00,001
What's wrong with little
Brady having a little party?
129
00:06:00,083 --> 00:06:01,543
I don't believe in it.
130
00:06:02,542 --> 00:06:03,792
If you don't believe,
131
00:06:03,875 --> 00:06:06,125
it's just water
on the kid's head.
132
00:06:07,500 --> 00:06:10,290
[Carrie] Downtown,
Samantha's faith was faltering.
133
00:06:10,375 --> 00:06:11,665
My friends don't believe you.
134
00:06:11,750 --> 00:06:13,250
Am I dating your friends?
135
00:06:13,333 --> 00:06:15,173
With your track record,
I wouldn't put it past you.
136
00:06:15,250 --> 00:06:17,670
What exactly seems
to be their problem?
137
00:06:17,750 --> 00:06:18,790
This...
138
00:06:18,875 --> 00:06:20,535
is their problem.
139
00:06:20,625 --> 00:06:21,745
We talked about that.
140
00:06:21,834 --> 00:06:24,714
Yeah, and Miranda
thinks it's bullshit.
141
00:06:24,792 --> 00:06:26,172
What's to stop you
from getting "scared"
142
00:06:26,250 --> 00:06:28,420
every time a hot woman
walks by...
143
00:06:29,458 --> 00:06:30,828
She wanted to know.
144
00:06:30,917 --> 00:06:32,667
Well, I don't give a shit
what your friends think.
145
00:06:33,291 --> 00:06:34,461
I love you.
146
00:06:35,625 --> 00:06:37,285
And I've got something for you.
147
00:06:43,208 --> 00:06:46,248
Unless Miranda wouldn't approve.
148
00:06:47,959 --> 00:06:50,829
[Carrie] Now, it was Samantha's
turn to be scared.
149
00:06:55,125 --> 00:06:56,665
Don't worry,
it's not for that finger.
150
00:06:56,750 --> 00:06:58,540
It's for this one.
151
00:06:58,625 --> 00:07:01,785
So when you flip me off,
I'll have something shiny
to look at.
152
00:07:01,875 --> 00:07:04,415
[Carrie] There it was.
A canary diamond,
153
00:07:04,500 --> 00:07:07,670
I'll-try-not-to-cheat-and-eat-
when-I'm-scared ring.
154
00:07:13,458 --> 00:07:16,378
Samantha wasn't sure
if she was in heaven...
155
00:07:17,667 --> 00:07:18,997
or limbo.
156
00:07:20,417 --> 00:07:23,827
Meanwhile, I was
clearly in hell.
157
00:07:31,500 --> 00:07:35,750
That afternoon, Charlotte
and I went trolling for men.
158
00:07:35,834 --> 00:07:37,254
Hey, he's kinda cute.
159
00:07:37,333 --> 00:07:39,003
[Carrie] We were playing
One-One Hundred,
160
00:07:39,083 --> 00:07:41,383
which is like a road trip game
for urban singles.
161
00:07:41,458 --> 00:07:43,418
You watch the men
coming your direction
162
00:07:43,500 --> 00:07:47,040
and you see how many
out of 100 you'd sleep with.
163
00:07:47,125 --> 00:07:48,375
Okay, yes.
164
00:07:49,375 --> 00:07:52,125
Eight out of 46.
Where are you?
165
00:07:52,208 --> 00:07:53,288
Zero, 32.
166
00:07:53,375 --> 00:07:55,205
Zero? What about the guy
with the dog?
167
00:07:55,291 --> 00:07:56,831
I don't like dachshunds for men.
168
00:07:56,917 --> 00:07:59,667
Can't handle a real dog,
can't handle a real woman.
169
00:07:59,750 --> 00:08:01,250
-But he was gorgeous.
-That's another thing.
170
00:08:01,333 --> 00:08:02,543
Men who are too good-looking,
171
00:08:02,625 --> 00:08:05,325
they're never good in bed,
because they never had to be.
172
00:08:07,792 --> 00:08:09,002
Zero, 35.
173
00:08:09,083 --> 00:08:10,173
None of them?
174
00:08:10,917 --> 00:08:12,167
They were gay!
175
00:08:12,250 --> 00:08:13,290
It's imaginary!
176
00:08:13,375 --> 00:08:14,915
There must be someone
in Gramercy Park
177
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,790
that you'd have
imaginary sex with.
178
00:08:16,875 --> 00:08:17,745
You're being too picky.
179
00:08:17,834 --> 00:08:19,634
You're an imaginary whore.
180
00:08:19,709 --> 00:08:21,169
I am not.
181
00:08:21,250 --> 00:08:24,920
You have slept with eight men,
and we have only had appetizers.
182
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:26,420
You should come
with me next week
183
00:08:26,500 --> 00:08:28,170
to Dr. Cheryl Grayson's seminar.
184
00:08:28,250 --> 00:08:30,580
I've been before
and it's really inspiring.
185
00:08:30,667 --> 00:08:33,287
And there's time
for questions and answers.
186
00:08:33,375 --> 00:08:35,995
Plus, she has a new haircut,
and I hear it's very cute.
187
00:08:36,083 --> 00:08:37,583
Why would I go to that?
188
00:08:37,667 --> 00:08:39,167
Because...
189
00:08:39,250 --> 00:08:40,750
you're becoming cynical.
190
00:08:40,834 --> 00:08:43,294
That's why I wouldn't go.
191
00:08:43,375 --> 00:08:45,205
It's kind of a catch-22,
isn't it?
192
00:08:45,291 --> 00:08:47,331
You might
get a column out of it.
193
00:08:47,417 --> 00:08:48,537
Ugh, sign me up.
194
00:08:48,625 --> 00:08:49,495
Yay!
195
00:08:49,583 --> 00:08:51,003
I think you'll really enjoy it.
196
00:08:51,083 --> 00:08:53,253
Her philosophy
of written affirmations
197
00:08:53,333 --> 00:08:55,753
has helped me let go
of negative thoughts.
198
00:08:56,875 --> 00:08:58,285
Oh, no.
199
00:08:58,375 --> 00:09:00,075
Oh, not this guy.
200
00:09:00,166 --> 00:09:01,746
No, he's balding.
201
00:09:01,834 --> 00:09:03,384
He's got a big head.
202
00:09:03,458 --> 00:09:06,418
So you still have
some negative thoughts.
203
00:09:06,500 --> 00:09:08,080
Oh, my God,
he's coming over here.
204
00:09:08,166 --> 00:09:09,956
Don't, don't look up.
205
00:09:11,417 --> 00:09:14,037
Aren't you Carrie Bradshaw
from The New York Star?
206
00:09:14,125 --> 00:09:16,375
Oh, Gabe, hey!
207
00:09:16,458 --> 00:09:17,708
You two know each other?
208
00:09:17,792 --> 00:09:20,672
Yeah, this is my editor.
209
00:09:20,750 --> 00:09:22,040
This is Gabe Manning.
210
00:09:22,125 --> 00:09:23,415
Oh, hi! I'm Charlotte.
211
00:09:23,500 --> 00:09:24,880
Hi. I'm glad I ran into you,
212
00:09:24,959 --> 00:09:27,209
since apparently you don't
return your calls anymore.
213
00:09:27,291 --> 00:09:28,251
Yeah, I know, I know.
214
00:09:28,333 --> 00:09:29,713
But I am just now
215
00:09:29,792 --> 00:09:31,422
researching my next column.
216
00:09:31,500 --> 00:09:34,540
And I think it's going
to be super fun and sexy.
217
00:09:34,625 --> 00:09:40,125
See, we sit here, and we pick
how many men out of 100
218
00:09:40,208 --> 00:09:41,498
we would want to sleep with--
219
00:09:41,583 --> 00:09:43,543
Carrie, no one's asking you
to fuck every guy in town.
220
00:09:43,625 --> 00:09:44,995
We're only a weekly paper.
221
00:09:45,083 --> 00:09:47,213
No, ha!
We don't actually sleep with--
222
00:09:47,291 --> 00:09:49,131
The reason I've been trying
to get in touch with you--
223
00:09:49,208 --> 00:09:50,128
I know, and--
224
00:09:50,208 --> 00:09:51,708
an editor
from Clearwater Press called.
225
00:09:51,792 --> 00:09:54,502
They're interested in turning
your columns into a book.
226
00:09:57,166 --> 00:09:59,286
Oh.
227
00:10:00,834 --> 00:10:02,174
Oh!
228
00:10:04,583 --> 00:10:06,713
I'm having a Cosmopolitan
with the woman
229
00:10:06,792 --> 00:10:08,882
who wrote about Cosmopolitans.
230
00:10:08,959 --> 00:10:10,539
Now, if only I could find a man.
231
00:10:11,375 --> 00:10:12,495
Trouble finding a man.
232
00:10:12,583 --> 00:10:14,083
Have you ever considered
writing about that?
233
00:10:14,166 --> 00:10:15,666
Oh, that's a great idea!
234
00:10:15,750 --> 00:10:16,580
Let me get a pen.
235
00:10:16,667 --> 00:10:17,577
The next night, I met
236
00:10:17,667 --> 00:10:19,037
with publishing powerhouses,
237
00:10:19,125 --> 00:10:21,075
Lily Martin
and Courtney Masterson.
238
00:10:21,166 --> 00:10:23,246
Seriously, Carrie,
this is such a thrill.
239
00:10:23,333 --> 00:10:26,463
All of us at Clearwater Press
read your column religiously.
240
00:10:26,542 --> 00:10:28,292
Oh, God, I don't even do that.
241
00:10:28,375 --> 00:10:31,785
I even have the one
on "Ten Men to Avoid"
on my refrigerator.
242
00:10:31,875 --> 00:10:34,125
But not in that
icky Cathy comic kind of a way.
243
00:10:34,208 --> 00:10:36,668
-Oh, God, no, I hate that shit.
-Me too.
244
00:10:36,750 --> 00:10:39,500
Anyway, I predict
this book will be huge.
245
00:10:39,583 --> 00:10:40,383
Huge.
246
00:10:40,458 --> 00:10:41,538
And that's...
247
00:10:42,375 --> 00:10:43,325
Why?
248
00:10:43,417 --> 00:10:44,747
Because there are
so many single women
249
00:10:44,834 --> 00:10:46,424
desperate for
something like this.
250
00:10:46,500 --> 00:10:48,830
And you're looking
at two of them.
One, two.
251
00:10:48,917 --> 00:10:50,417
And the good news is you
already have an incredible
252
00:10:50,500 --> 00:10:51,920
inventory of columns
to choose from.
253
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:53,710
And some we don't
have to include.
254
00:10:53,792 --> 00:10:55,382
Like that last one
on french fries.
255
00:10:55,458 --> 00:10:57,078
That didn't make
the fridge, did it?
256
00:10:57,166 --> 00:10:58,826
Basically, we want
to fast-track it
257
00:10:58,917 --> 00:11:01,577
and get it on the shelves by
Christmas, slash,
the Jewish Hanukkahs.
258
00:11:01,667 --> 00:11:04,667
[Lily] And you can pick
and choose the columns,
about 25 or 30.
259
00:11:04,750 --> 00:11:06,290
Then, you just have
to write an introduction
260
00:11:06,375 --> 00:11:08,785
and a dedication to clarify
the tone of the book.
261
00:11:09,583 --> 00:11:10,753
So you mean...
262
00:11:12,792 --> 00:11:13,672
What do you mean?
263
00:11:13,750 --> 00:11:15,250
You know, what's the message?
264
00:11:16,583 --> 00:11:17,633
Just...
265
00:11:18,875 --> 00:11:20,785
"Here are my favorite columns"?
266
00:11:21,709 --> 00:11:24,669
Um, yes, but also is it hopeful?
267
00:11:24,750 --> 00:11:27,170
Is Carrie Bradshaw
an optimist or a pessimist?
268
00:11:27,250 --> 00:11:28,540
Yeah, what's your point of view?
269
00:11:28,625 --> 00:11:31,955
You know, after all the breakups
and the disappointments,
270
00:11:32,041 --> 00:11:34,331
and the train wrecks,
271
00:11:34,417 --> 00:11:36,417
you still believe
he's out there, right?
272
00:11:37,625 --> 00:11:40,125
Or should we just
shoot ourselves now?
273
00:11:40,208 --> 00:11:43,078
No, yes.
274
00:11:44,375 --> 00:11:46,495
Hopeful.
275
00:11:46,583 --> 00:11:49,503
To be honest, I wasn't sure
what I believed.
276
00:11:49,583 --> 00:11:52,543
But my cynical side
suspected optimism...
277
00:11:52,625 --> 00:11:54,125
would sell more books.
278
00:11:55,959 --> 00:11:59,169
[Samantha] My best friend is
going to be a published author.
279
00:11:59,250 --> 00:12:02,210
It's so fabulous, it even
makes me more fabulous.
280
00:12:02,291 --> 00:12:05,751
I don't know.
I think I enjoy being
slightly under the radar.
281
00:12:05,834 --> 00:12:08,084
I take comfort in the fact
that many people,
282
00:12:08,166 --> 00:12:11,076
present company included,
don't ever see my column.
283
00:12:11,166 --> 00:12:13,246
Well, I'm waiting until
it's coming out in hardback.
284
00:12:13,333 --> 00:12:14,673
I hope it's big and glossy.
285
00:12:14,750 --> 00:12:16,170
Like my mistakes.
286
00:12:16,250 --> 00:12:18,670
Is this really
something you encourage?
287
00:12:18,750 --> 00:12:19,710
Do it!
288
00:12:19,792 --> 00:12:22,712
Newspaper is out,
it's all about books.
289
00:12:22,792 --> 00:12:25,882
Everyone who's anyone
has a book.
290
00:12:25,959 --> 00:12:27,539
Okay, I'm not sure
what you just said,
291
00:12:27,625 --> 00:12:30,875
because I was temporarily
blinded by a piece of jewelry.
292
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:32,460
Let me see that!
293
00:12:34,041 --> 00:12:35,461
It's from Richard.
294
00:12:35,542 --> 00:12:38,082
I think it's his way
of saying "I'm sorry."
295
00:12:38,166 --> 00:12:40,746
Wow, what do you get
if it happens again?
296
00:12:40,834 --> 00:12:42,924
-The Hope Diamond?
-That's what this is.
297
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,000
The "hope that fucker doesn't
break my heart again" diamond.
298
00:12:46,083 --> 00:12:50,133
[Carrie] Evidently, we were both
turning our pain into gold.
299
00:12:50,208 --> 00:12:53,708
That night, I started
to think about belief.
300
00:12:53,792 --> 00:12:56,252
Maybe it's not even advisable
to be an optimist
301
00:12:56,333 --> 00:12:58,833
after the age of 30.
302
00:12:58,917 --> 00:13:00,417
Maybe pessimism is something
303
00:13:00,500 --> 00:13:02,540
we have to start
applying daily,
304
00:13:02,625 --> 00:13:04,415
like moisturizer.
305
00:13:04,500 --> 00:13:06,710
Otherwise,
how do you bounce back
306
00:13:06,792 --> 00:13:08,922
when reality batters
your belief system
307
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,670
and love does not, as promised,
308
00:13:11,750 --> 00:13:13,540
conquer all?
309
00:13:13,625 --> 00:13:16,325
Is hope a drug
we need to go off of,
310
00:13:16,417 --> 00:13:18,917
or is it keeping us alive?
311
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,670
What's the harm in believing?
312
00:13:21,750 --> 00:13:23,670
[woman on recorder]
Repeat your affirmations daily
313
00:13:23,750 --> 00:13:26,380
if you want to let love
into your life.
314
00:13:27,250 --> 00:13:28,290
Open yourself.
315
00:13:28,375 --> 00:13:31,245
Breathe in the possibility
of love.
316
00:13:31,333 --> 00:13:32,713
What is not love...
317
00:13:32,792 --> 00:13:34,082
is fear.
318
00:13:34,166 --> 00:13:36,666
It's time to let go
of your fears
319
00:13:36,750 --> 00:13:39,920
and embrace your dreams.
320
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,920
[Carrie] Miranda still
wasn't a believer,
321
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,500
but her faith was renewed
when she found a church
322
00:13:44,583 --> 00:13:45,713
that seemed to suit her,
323
00:13:45,792 --> 00:13:48,002
and a suit that
seemed to fit her.
324
00:13:48,083 --> 00:13:49,463
I'm waiting in the rain!
325
00:13:49,542 --> 00:13:51,462
I know, I know. You said 10:45.
326
00:13:51,542 --> 00:13:55,082
-Yeah--
-It's my fault. I'm sorry.
327
00:13:56,834 --> 00:13:58,134
He's not with her.
328
00:13:58,208 --> 00:13:59,918
Yeah, I know, I told you that
she'd probably leave him
329
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,500
with the baby nurse--
this is my ma.
330
00:14:02,583 --> 00:14:04,583
Ma, Miranda.
331
00:14:04,667 --> 00:14:07,127
Hi, Mrs. Brady.
So nice to meet you.
332
00:14:07,208 --> 00:14:09,458
No, Mary, please.
333
00:14:09,542 --> 00:14:11,832
Oh, you're so fancy.
334
00:14:11,917 --> 00:14:13,287
I wanted to wear my nice dress,
335
00:14:13,375 --> 00:14:16,165
but the dry cleaners
doesn't open until 10:00.
336
00:14:16,250 --> 00:14:18,630
I was hoping that
you'd bring little Brady
337
00:14:18,709 --> 00:14:20,669
since I haven't seen him yet.
338
00:14:20,750 --> 00:14:24,130
Well, you know,
Stevie gave me a picture
339
00:14:24,208 --> 00:14:26,878
I've been carrying
around in my wallet.
340
00:14:26,959 --> 00:14:28,419
It's a little creased.
341
00:14:28,500 --> 00:14:30,630
I should have put it in a frame.
342
00:14:30,709 --> 00:14:32,539
I Xeroxed it
at the phone company
343
00:14:32,625 --> 00:14:36,325
and everyone in my division
said he looks like me.
344
00:14:39,583 --> 00:14:41,633
So I'll see him at the ceremony.
345
00:14:41,709 --> 00:14:44,289
I'm just grateful
to be included,
346
00:14:44,375 --> 00:14:46,495
especially since
I know you aren't Catholic
347
00:14:46,583 --> 00:14:49,713
and you didn't want
to have a christening.
348
00:14:49,792 --> 00:14:53,502
But the idea of this
little baby burning in hell--
349
00:14:53,583 --> 00:14:54,753
Ma! Ma.
350
00:14:54,834 --> 00:14:56,754
All right! All right.
351
00:14:56,834 --> 00:14:58,424
I'm just saying...
352
00:14:58,500 --> 00:15:02,380
My oldest son, Jackie,
had a baby who died.
353
00:15:02,458 --> 00:15:04,168
Two weeks old.
354
00:15:04,250 --> 00:15:05,670
We're still reeling.
355
00:15:05,750 --> 00:15:06,880
His wife is black.
356
00:15:06,959 --> 00:15:08,539
She's not very friendly.
357
00:15:08,625 --> 00:15:11,745
Thinks I have a problem
with her, but I don't.
358
00:15:12,625 --> 00:15:13,785
I don't.
359
00:15:13,875 --> 00:15:16,875
Listen, maybe the priest...
360
00:15:16,959 --> 00:15:18,959
doesn't need to know
you aren't getting married.
361
00:15:19,041 --> 00:15:20,541
We're not lying
to the priest, Ma.
362
00:15:20,625 --> 00:15:22,955
[laughing] Now you're religious.
363
00:15:23,667 --> 00:15:24,917
-Hello.
-Oh!
364
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:26,170
Are you the Hobbes party?
365
00:15:26,250 --> 00:15:27,250
Yes, we spoke on the phone.
366
00:15:27,333 --> 00:15:28,713
I'm Father Andrew.
Come on inside.
367
00:15:28,792 --> 00:15:29,672
I'm sorry we're late.
368
00:15:29,750 --> 00:15:31,790
Hello, Father. I'm Mary Brady.
369
00:15:31,875 --> 00:15:34,455
I go to St. Agnes in Queens.
370
00:15:35,542 --> 00:15:37,292
They're not getting married.
371
00:15:40,041 --> 00:15:41,131
Is she drunk?
372
00:15:41,208 --> 00:15:43,498
No, just a couple beers.
373
00:15:43,583 --> 00:15:47,133
[Miranda] I don't want the baby
referred to as Catholic.
374
00:15:48,625 --> 00:15:50,375
No "original sin."
375
00:15:51,291 --> 00:15:53,581
No "renouncing of Satan."
376
00:15:53,667 --> 00:15:55,537
It's not that
she's a fan of Satan.
377
00:15:55,625 --> 00:15:57,165
It's just that
she doesn't want to...
378
00:15:58,333 --> 00:15:59,173
talk about him.
379
00:15:59,250 --> 00:16:01,290
In fact, no mention of Satan,
380
00:16:01,375 --> 00:16:02,785
the devil.
381
00:16:02,875 --> 00:16:05,325
[Carrie] Miranda was surprised
the priest was so flexible,
382
00:16:05,417 --> 00:16:07,917
but the truth is,
in these troubled times,
383
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:09,290
the Catholic church is like
384
00:16:09,375 --> 00:16:11,825
a desperate 36-year-old
single woman,
385
00:16:11,917 --> 00:16:13,997
willing to settle
for anything it can get.
386
00:16:14,083 --> 00:16:16,463
"...Christ's own forever."
387
00:16:16,542 --> 00:16:18,462
This is not what I had in mind
388
00:16:18,542 --> 00:16:20,462
when you asked if I wanted
to go dress shopping.
389
00:16:20,542 --> 00:16:22,672
Believe me,
I'm less thrilled than you.
390
00:16:22,750 --> 00:16:25,960
He has to get baptized
and wear a dress.
391
00:16:26,041 --> 00:16:27,711
Baby's first drag show.
392
00:16:28,792 --> 00:16:30,632
It's a very odd tradition.
393
00:16:30,709 --> 00:16:32,289
Oh, don't even get me started.
394
00:16:32,375 --> 00:16:35,165
It's all about cleansing
this little baby of his sins,
395
00:16:35,250 --> 00:16:37,920
when, clearly, babies come into
this world with a clean slate,
396
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:39,540
and we're the ones
that fuck 'em up.
397
00:16:39,625 --> 00:16:41,705
So, you're a pessimist, right?
398
00:16:42,542 --> 00:16:43,502
Have we met?
399
00:16:43,583 --> 00:16:46,003
It's for my book.
I have to figure out
400
00:16:46,083 --> 00:16:49,173
if I'm an optimist
or a pessimist,
401
00:16:49,250 --> 00:16:50,670
and I don't know anymore.
402
00:16:50,750 --> 00:16:52,170
I don't know what I believe.
403
00:16:52,250 --> 00:16:54,670
Well, neither do I,
and I'm having a baptism.
404
00:16:54,750 --> 00:16:56,040
So how do you rationalize that?
405
00:16:56,125 --> 00:16:58,495
One less bath
I have to give him.
406
00:16:58,583 --> 00:16:59,923
Mostly, I'm doing it for Steve.
407
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:01,290
He's been pretty good to me.
408
00:17:01,375 --> 00:17:02,665
I've known him for three years,
409
00:17:02,750 --> 00:17:05,080
and I didn't have to meet
his mother until yesterday.
410
00:17:05,166 --> 00:17:06,166
What's she like?
411
00:17:06,250 --> 00:17:07,500
Imagine Steve,
412
00:17:07,583 --> 00:17:09,383
in a wig, drunk.
413
00:17:09,458 --> 00:17:11,538
-[laughs] Yikes.
-Yeah.
414
00:17:12,417 --> 00:17:14,167
So... listen.
415
00:17:14,250 --> 00:17:17,080
How would you feel
about being Brady's godmother?
416
00:17:17,166 --> 00:17:18,166
Really?
417
00:17:18,250 --> 00:17:19,500
What would I need to do?
418
00:17:19,583 --> 00:17:20,673
Officially...
419
00:17:20,750 --> 00:17:22,790
you provide the baby
with spiritual guidance.
420
00:17:22,875 --> 00:17:24,705
Unofficially, you stand
up there with me
421
00:17:24,792 --> 00:17:26,132
so I have somebody
to roll my eyes at.
422
00:17:26,208 --> 00:17:27,208
What do you say?
423
00:17:27,291 --> 00:17:29,331
I don't know.
Spiritual guidance...
424
00:17:29,417 --> 00:17:30,537
And there's cake.
425
00:17:30,625 --> 00:17:32,075
From some bakery in Queens!
426
00:17:32,166 --> 00:17:35,246
Ah, the really sugary kind
with the thick White icing?
427
00:17:35,333 --> 00:17:37,673
Yeah, maybe even
a buttercream cross on top.
428
00:17:37,750 --> 00:17:40,250
Oh, now you're talkin'.
429
00:17:40,333 --> 00:17:42,833
Spirituality, and cake!
430
00:17:45,083 --> 00:17:49,043
That night, Charlotte dragged
me to the fountain of belief.
431
00:17:49,125 --> 00:17:50,375
It was mostly women.
432
00:17:50,458 --> 00:17:52,668
Apparently, women are
the main market for hope.
433
00:17:52,750 --> 00:17:55,540
Welcome, would you like
to take an affirmation?
434
00:17:55,625 --> 00:17:58,165
Saying "no" would probably
get us off on the wrong foot,
435
00:17:58,250 --> 00:17:59,630
it being an affirmation and all.
436
00:18:01,208 --> 00:18:02,038
Thanks.
437
00:18:02,125 --> 00:18:03,915
[woman] Enjoy.
438
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:05,880
"I believe
in the good in people."
439
00:18:05,959 --> 00:18:07,999
That's nice.
What does yours say?
440
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,000
"I believe this is hooey."
441
00:18:11,083 --> 00:18:12,793
Are you going to make fun
of everything?
442
00:18:12,875 --> 00:18:14,665
No, I'm not that quick.
443
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:17,330
What did you do today?
444
00:18:17,417 --> 00:18:18,537
Oh, the usual.
445
00:18:18,625 --> 00:18:19,995
Helped pick a christening gown
446
00:18:20,083 --> 00:18:21,963
for my friend's
illegitimate baby.
447
00:18:22,041 --> 00:18:23,461
Oh!
448
00:18:23,542 --> 00:18:26,332
I'm so happy
she decided to do a baptism.
449
00:18:26,417 --> 00:18:27,997
She asked me
to be the godmother.
450
00:18:28,667 --> 00:18:29,417
What?
451
00:18:29,500 --> 00:18:30,630
It's not a big deal.
452
00:18:30,709 --> 00:18:31,629
It is a big deal.
453
00:18:31,709 --> 00:18:33,379
It's a huge responsibility.
454
00:18:33,458 --> 00:18:35,168
I know people whose
friendships have ended
455
00:18:35,250 --> 00:18:37,790
because someone
was a disappointing godparent.
456
00:18:39,250 --> 00:18:40,830
Why are you so...?
457
00:18:42,834 --> 00:18:43,834
Oh.
458
00:18:46,250 --> 00:18:47,790
Did you want
to be the godmother?
459
00:18:47,875 --> 00:18:48,705
No!
460
00:18:48,792 --> 00:18:50,082
I just think
it wouldn't kill you
461
00:18:50,166 --> 00:18:52,626
to acknowledge
that some things are sacred.
462
00:18:52,709 --> 00:18:53,879
I do acknowledge--
463
00:18:53,959 --> 00:18:55,419
We're not talking.
464
00:18:55,500 --> 00:18:57,420
-We're not?
-No!
465
00:19:01,500 --> 00:19:02,500
Okay.
466
00:19:08,208 --> 00:19:09,708
Are we talking yet?
467
00:19:12,834 --> 00:19:14,714
Okay, let me know
when we're talking.
468
00:19:19,834 --> 00:19:24,544
I believe this is going
to be a very long evening.
469
00:19:28,083 --> 00:19:30,753
I believe we are the only
normal people here.
470
00:19:35,041 --> 00:19:37,041
I believe in the good
in Charlotte,
471
00:19:37,125 --> 00:19:38,955
who dragged me here
against my will
472
00:19:39,041 --> 00:19:42,791
when I wanted to stay home
and just be negative.
473
00:19:51,250 --> 00:19:53,420
What does the gown look like?
474
00:19:56,083 --> 00:19:57,423
Table for two.
475
00:19:59,917 --> 00:20:01,327
I know you're trying
to make me feel bad,
476
00:20:01,417 --> 00:20:03,627
but I gotta tell you,
that turns me on.
477
00:20:03,709 --> 00:20:05,249
[hostess] Right this way.
478
00:20:07,041 --> 00:20:10,131
-[jazzy music playing]
-[people chattering]
479
00:20:21,709 --> 00:20:22,789
Thank you.
480
00:20:29,250 --> 00:20:30,290
Are we okay?
481
00:20:30,375 --> 00:20:31,535
Oh, we're fine.
482
00:20:31,625 --> 00:20:33,535
Oh, I almost forgot.
483
00:20:33,625 --> 00:20:36,375
You're going to Miranda's
baptism with me Sunday.
484
00:20:36,458 --> 00:20:38,208
It'll be all day.
It'll be boring.
485
00:20:38,291 --> 00:20:39,541
It'll be mandatory.
486
00:20:39,625 --> 00:20:40,625
What time?
487
00:20:41,333 --> 00:20:42,333
2:00.
488
00:20:42,417 --> 00:20:45,377
Are you going to do the...
thing again?
489
00:20:45,458 --> 00:20:46,628
No.
490
00:20:47,333 --> 00:20:48,583
Are you?
491
00:20:49,417 --> 00:20:50,497
Samantha.
492
00:20:51,500 --> 00:20:52,670
I love you.
493
00:20:58,500 --> 00:21:00,920
[Carrie] Although he appeared
to have reformed,
494
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,130
Samantha wasn't ready
to forgive his sin.
495
00:21:04,208 --> 00:21:06,628
Love will come to you
496
00:21:06,709 --> 00:21:08,919
only when you truly
believe you deserve it.
497
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,580
[Carrie] Meanwhile, an hour
and 20 affirmations later...
498
00:21:12,667 --> 00:21:14,877
[Cheryl] Love will raise you up.
499
00:21:14,959 --> 00:21:17,039
Fear will pull you under.
500
00:21:17,125 --> 00:21:18,495
Only love is real.
501
00:21:19,500 --> 00:21:21,580
Yes, stand right up.
502
00:21:21,667 --> 00:21:22,747
[woman] Yes...
503
00:21:22,834 --> 00:21:24,754
I just wanted
to thank you, Cheryl,
504
00:21:24,834 --> 00:21:27,424
because the affirmations
have really worked for me.
505
00:21:27,500 --> 00:21:30,250
I prayed for love.
I believed in love...
506
00:21:30,333 --> 00:21:32,173
And last week, I fell in love.
507
00:21:32,250 --> 00:21:35,130
And he's perfect,
and kind, and giving,
508
00:21:35,208 --> 00:21:37,668
and I now know
that I deserve that,
509
00:21:37,750 --> 00:21:39,380
so thank you.
510
00:21:39,458 --> 00:21:40,998
Thank yourself. You did it.
511
00:21:41,083 --> 00:21:42,583
Isn't that inspiring?
512
00:21:42,667 --> 00:21:44,707
-[applause]
-Yeah. Yeah.
513
00:21:52,667 --> 00:21:53,747
Anyone else?
514
00:21:55,667 --> 00:21:57,327
Yes, did you want
to say something?
515
00:21:57,417 --> 00:21:58,207
Oh, no, I--
516
00:21:58,291 --> 00:22:01,211
Yes. Hi. I was wondering...
517
00:22:01,291 --> 00:22:02,331
Um...
518
00:22:05,417 --> 00:22:07,787
Hi.
519
00:22:07,875 --> 00:22:10,705
I'm just wondering how long that
woman was doing her affirmations
520
00:22:10,792 --> 00:22:13,962
because I've been
doing mine every day, and...
521
00:22:14,041 --> 00:22:17,291
I want to believe,
but nothing is happening.
522
00:22:17,375 --> 00:22:18,415
And...
523
00:22:19,667 --> 00:22:21,077
I just don't think it's working,
524
00:22:21,166 --> 00:22:24,416
I just don't think
it will work for, for me.
525
00:22:25,583 --> 00:22:26,923
I hear fear.
526
00:22:27,625 --> 00:22:29,785
I hear doubt.
527
00:22:29,875 --> 00:22:33,535
You have to believe love
to receive love.
528
00:22:33,625 --> 00:22:37,665
Keep repeating your affirmations
and eventually, your heart
will catch up with your head.
529
00:22:37,750 --> 00:22:39,710
Um, mm-hmm. Uh...
530
00:22:39,792 --> 00:22:41,422
That's the thing though.
531
00:22:42,250 --> 00:22:44,420
I did find love.
532
00:22:44,500 --> 00:22:47,330
I believed that there
was someone out there for me,
533
00:22:47,417 --> 00:22:49,787
and I met him, finally.
534
00:22:49,875 --> 00:22:52,035
And we had a beautiful wedding.
535
00:22:52,125 --> 00:22:55,035
And then everything
just fell apart.
536
00:22:55,125 --> 00:22:56,665
And I'm worried...
537
00:22:56,750 --> 00:22:59,880
I'm afraid that he took away
my ability to believe.
538
00:22:59,959 --> 00:23:04,079
And I hate him for that because
I always believed before.
539
00:23:04,166 --> 00:23:05,786
And now, I just feel...
540
00:23:06,834 --> 00:23:08,884
lost.
541
00:23:08,959 --> 00:23:12,079
And I am, I'm trying to put
myself out there, but...
542
00:23:13,041 --> 00:23:14,581
I feel hopeless.
543
00:23:16,458 --> 00:23:20,248
Perhaps you're not really
putting yourself out there.
544
00:23:21,375 --> 00:23:22,415
Oh.
545
00:23:25,417 --> 00:23:27,707
No, she's out there.
546
00:23:27,792 --> 00:23:30,502
I mean emotionally,
and physically.
547
00:23:30,583 --> 00:23:34,173
Maybe you're not looking
for love in a real way.
548
00:23:34,250 --> 00:23:35,580
Maybe you're not really trying.
549
00:23:35,667 --> 00:23:38,537
Maybe you're not
really out there.
550
00:23:38,625 --> 00:23:40,415
Believe me,
551
00:23:40,500 --> 00:23:42,290
she's out there.
552
00:23:50,583 --> 00:23:52,253
[church bells ring]
553
00:23:52,333 --> 00:23:55,583
[Carrie] Sunday afternoon,
we all gathered for a baptism
554
00:23:55,667 --> 00:23:58,037
in "the little church
that would."
555
00:24:03,333 --> 00:24:04,253
Hey, you,
556
00:24:04,333 --> 00:24:05,793
with the flower thing.
557
00:24:05,875 --> 00:24:08,575
Steve tells me that
you're the godmother.
558
00:24:08,667 --> 00:24:09,747
Oh, uh-huh.
559
00:24:09,834 --> 00:24:11,424
I'm the godfather.
560
00:24:11,500 --> 00:24:12,750
[both laugh]
561
00:24:12,834 --> 00:24:14,834
Steve's second cousin, Patrick.
562
00:24:15,959 --> 00:24:17,629
Make a good story, huh?
563
00:24:17,709 --> 00:24:19,999
Little Brady
brought us together.
564
00:24:20,083 --> 00:24:21,383
-Oh!
-Yay!
565
00:24:21,458 --> 00:24:23,128
Someone who isn't
related to Steve.
566
00:24:23,208 --> 00:24:24,128
No offense, Patrick.
567
00:24:24,208 --> 00:24:25,458
None taken.
568
00:24:25,542 --> 00:24:26,582
-Hey!
-Hey. Hi.
569
00:24:26,667 --> 00:24:28,827
I'll check you later...
570
00:24:28,917 --> 00:24:31,037
-gator.
-Okay.
571
00:24:34,834 --> 00:24:36,384
It's a nice dress.
572
00:24:36,458 --> 00:24:38,828
Well, I didn't want Brady
to show me up.
573
00:24:38,917 --> 00:24:41,707
Ah, by the way, I think
your baby's godfather
574
00:24:41,792 --> 00:24:44,462
baptized himself
with some bad cologne.
575
00:24:44,542 --> 00:24:46,672
Yeah, well, Brady's grandmother
invited the folks
576
00:24:46,750 --> 00:24:48,790
from Molly Maguire's.
577
00:24:48,875 --> 00:24:50,535
Well, I know you've got
your hands full
578
00:24:50,625 --> 00:24:52,415
with the drunk and the skunk,
579
00:24:52,500 --> 00:24:55,290
but I have
to tell you something.
580
00:24:55,375 --> 00:24:57,125
I'm too fat to be
wearing this, aren't I?
581
00:24:57,208 --> 00:24:59,958
No, oh, no, you look beautiful.
582
00:25:00,041 --> 00:25:01,421
No, it's me...
583
00:25:02,917 --> 00:25:05,537
Are you sure that
I am godmother material?
584
00:25:05,625 --> 00:25:09,165
Shouldn't you maybe
pick someone a bit...
585
00:25:09,250 --> 00:25:10,290
more maternal?
586
00:25:10,375 --> 00:25:12,995
No, I like that you're not.
587
00:25:13,083 --> 00:25:16,333
Well... here's the thing.
588
00:25:16,417 --> 00:25:20,287
This is such
an awesome responsibility.
589
00:25:20,375 --> 00:25:22,495
I don't know my own view
of the future.
590
00:25:22,583 --> 00:25:26,333
I think I'm possibly
one bad date away from bitter.
591
00:25:26,417 --> 00:25:29,957
Don't you think that
I'm getting a little cynical?
592
00:25:30,041 --> 00:25:31,581
Not compared to me.
593
00:25:32,750 --> 00:25:35,250
Carrie, you're my best friend.
594
00:25:37,083 --> 00:25:39,543
Okay, but just so you know,
Charlotte's dying for the job
595
00:25:39,625 --> 00:25:41,995
and I think she'd probably
be better at it.
596
00:25:42,083 --> 00:25:44,883
I don't know if I believe
in any of this,
597
00:25:44,959 --> 00:25:46,959
but I believe in you.
598
00:25:47,041 --> 00:25:49,751
I want you to be
my baby's godmother.
599
00:25:51,834 --> 00:25:52,674
Well...
600
00:25:52,750 --> 00:25:54,500
I did spring for the hat.
601
00:25:57,792 --> 00:25:58,922
Who presents this child
602
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:00,710
to receive the sacrament
of baptism?
603
00:26:00,792 --> 00:26:02,332
-We do.
-We do.
604
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:07,130
[Miranda] Okay.
605
00:26:24,917 --> 00:26:27,877
Give him an inquiring
and discerning heart,
606
00:26:27,959 --> 00:26:30,459
the courage to will
and to persevere,
607
00:26:30,542 --> 00:26:32,042
a spirit to love,
608
00:26:32,125 --> 00:26:34,245
and the gift of joy and wonder.
609
00:26:34,333 --> 00:26:36,253
In the Lord's name we pray...
610
00:26:36,333 --> 00:26:38,963
[together]
Lord, hear our prayer.
611
00:26:39,041 --> 00:26:41,001
[Father Andrew] In baptism,
we use your gift of water
612
00:26:41,083 --> 00:26:42,583
which you have
made a rich symbol
613
00:26:42,667 --> 00:26:45,917
of the grace you give us
in this sacrament.
614
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,330
Through it you led the children
of Israel out of their bondage.
615
00:26:49,417 --> 00:26:51,167
Through it we are reborn.
616
00:26:53,875 --> 00:26:57,495
There isn't enough holy water
in the world to cleanse you.
617
00:26:57,583 --> 00:27:00,333
[giggling]
618
00:27:03,208 --> 00:27:04,668
Brady,
619
00:27:04,750 --> 00:27:06,790
I baptize you
in the name of the Father,
620
00:27:09,792 --> 00:27:10,832
and of the Son,
621
00:27:13,709 --> 00:27:15,079
and of the Holy Spirit.
622
00:27:17,583 --> 00:27:18,543
Amen.
623
00:27:19,583 --> 00:27:21,003
[Carrie] I couldn't help
but hope
624
00:27:21,083 --> 00:27:25,383
the water would wash away
some of my original cynicism.
625
00:27:28,417 --> 00:27:31,827
Isn't this the most beautiful
goddamn Catholic
626
00:27:31,917 --> 00:27:33,627
you've ever seen?
627
00:27:33,709 --> 00:27:37,919
Oh, sorry, Father,
but he's a cute fuckin' kid.
628
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,330
Honey, congratulations.
629
00:27:40,417 --> 00:27:41,627
Oh, I didn't do anything.
630
00:27:41,709 --> 00:27:44,039
Well, you got me to a church.
631
00:27:45,375 --> 00:27:46,455
Beautiful baby.
632
00:27:46,542 --> 00:27:47,792
Oh, thank you.
633
00:27:47,875 --> 00:27:49,455
And just for the record,
634
00:27:50,291 --> 00:27:52,081
I did get scared.
635
00:27:52,166 --> 00:27:54,126
Okay, whatever.
636
00:27:54,208 --> 00:27:55,578
Thanks for coming.
637
00:28:02,500 --> 00:28:04,540
He's such a player.
638
00:28:04,625 --> 00:28:06,125
[Charlotte] I don't know.
639
00:28:06,208 --> 00:28:08,378
Maybe things'll
work out between them.
640
00:28:11,500 --> 00:28:14,880
[Carrie] That night,
I dedicated my baby,
641
00:28:14,959 --> 00:28:16,129
my book,
642
00:28:16,208 --> 00:28:18,998
to hopeful
single women everywhere.
643
00:28:19,083 --> 00:28:21,383
And one in particular...
644
00:28:21,458 --> 00:28:23,498
my good friend Charlotte,
645
00:28:23,583 --> 00:28:25,833
the eternal optimist,
646
00:28:25,917 --> 00:28:28,707
who always believes in love.
