00:00:47,631 --> 00:00:50,467
[Carrie] <i>Last night, my friend Miranda
got invited to a dinner party</i>

3
00:00:50,551 --> 00:00:52,427
<i>by a man she hardly knew.</i>

4
00:00:53,845 --> 00:00:55,847
<i>She was the date of Nick Waxier,</i>

5
00:00:55,931 --> 00:00:59,977
<i>a fairly successful sports agent
who once told her she had nice legs.</i>

6
00:01:00,727 --> 00:01:01,770
Okay.

7
00:01:02,187 --> 00:01:06,400
Old movie stars you'd have liked to fuck
when they were young.

8
00:01:06,483 --> 00:01:08,235
[laughing] Alive or dead?

9
00:01:08,402 --> 00:01:10,112
It doesn't matter. I'll start.

10
00:01:10,571 --> 00:01:14,116
Veronica Lake, the year she made
<i>Sullivan's Travels.</i>

11
00:01:14,616 --> 00:01:16,159
-Dave?
-Huh...

12
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:18,787
I'd have to say Sophia Loren.

13
00:01:19,580 --> 00:01:21,748
Probably 'cause my dad
had this thing for her.

14
00:01:21,832 --> 00:01:24,543
Oh, we won't go there. Montgomery Clift.

15
00:01:24,626 --> 00:01:26,545
-He was gay.
-Oh.

16
00:01:26,628 --> 00:01:29,381
Marilyn Monroe,
before the Kennedys got to her.

17
00:01:29,464 --> 00:01:31,508
-Honey?
-Bing Crosby.

18
00:01:31,592 --> 00:01:34,761
-[all exclaiming]
-[scoffs] I stand by my choice.

19
00:01:35,429 --> 00:01:37,055
[Miranda] Sean Connery...

20
00:01:37,139 --> 00:01:40,350
-Yesterday, today and tomorrow.
-[all laughing]

21
00:01:40,434 --> 00:01:41,685
[Carrie] <i>For a first date,</i>

22
00:01:41,768 --> 00:01:44,938
<i>Miranda felt like she was
hitting it out of the ballpark.</i>

23
00:01:45,897 --> 00:01:47,107
Thanks.

24
00:01:47,566 --> 00:01:49,776
[Ellen] So, how long
have you known Nick?

25
00:01:50,277 --> 00:01:53,363
We've been riding the same
elevator line for years,

26
00:01:53,447 --> 00:01:55,532
and then we had lunch a few weeks ago,

27
00:01:55,616 --> 00:01:57,743
and then he invited me here to dinner.

28
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,288
-Well, we adore him.
-He's very smart.

29
00:02:01,371 --> 00:02:03,332
I guess he took
our little ultimatum seriously.

30
00:02:03,415 --> 00:02:04,750
Deanne!

31
00:02:06,418 --> 00:02:07,753
What are you talking about?

32
00:02:08,086 --> 00:02:11,965
[Carrie] <i>They told Miranda
that Nick had this thing for models.</i>

33
00:02:12,049 --> 00:02:15,427
Okay. Old movie stars you'd have
liked to fuck when they were young.

34
00:02:15,510 --> 00:02:20,057
I'll start. Veronica Lake,
the year she made <i>Sullivan's Travels.</i>

35
00:02:20,140 --> 00:02:22,851
-Dave?
-I'd have to go with Sophia Loren.

36
00:02:22,934 --> 00:02:25,604
Probably. My dad had a thing for her.

37
00:02:25,687 --> 00:02:28,315
-Montgomery Clift.
-Marilyn Monroe.

38
00:02:28,649 --> 00:02:29,900
Bing Crosby.

39
00:02:31,526 --> 00:02:32,653
[Nick] Yvette?

40
00:02:33,612 --> 00:02:37,032
Um, I don't know. Charlie Sheen?

41
00:02:37,366 --> 00:02:38,909
[Carrie] <i>They'd come to dinner...</i>

42
00:02:39,576 --> 00:02:42,454
<i>push their food around and pout.</i>

43
00:02:42,704 --> 00:02:43,955
Veronica Lake.

44
00:02:44,039 --> 00:02:46,416
-Sophia Loren.
-Montgomery Clift.

45
00:02:46,500 --> 00:02:47,834
Marilyn Monroe.

46
00:02:48,335 --> 00:02:49,586
Bing Crosby.

47
00:02:49,920 --> 00:02:51,046
Marissa?

48
00:03:02,974 --> 00:03:06,269
She had to make a phone call.

49
00:03:06,728 --> 00:03:10,649
[Carrie] <i>It got to be a problem.
They decided to take action.</i>

50
00:03:10,732 --> 00:03:14,611
Can't you find a woman who can
carry on a decent conversation?

51
00:03:14,695 --> 00:03:17,656
Yeah, Nick. And eat without purging.

52
00:03:17,739 --> 00:03:19,157
-[laughs]
-What are you saying?

53
00:03:19,241 --> 00:03:21,660
You can't bring around any more
of these so-called models, Nick.

54
00:03:21,743 --> 00:03:23,286
Uh-uh. It's too depressing.

55
00:03:24,746 --> 00:03:28,500
Okay, okay. I'll see what I can do.

56
00:03:29,334 --> 00:03:30,669
And then he brought you.

57
00:03:30,752 --> 00:03:34,047
-So obviously not a model.
-In a good way!

58
00:03:35,257 --> 00:03:36,967
Nick dates models?

59
00:03:44,224 --> 00:03:47,894
[Carrie] <i>Miranda confronted him,
and it didn't take him long to fold.</i>

60
00:03:47,978 --> 00:03:51,356
It's true. It's true, okay?
I'm obsessed.

61
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,400
-Obsessed with models.
-Correct.

62
00:03:53,483 --> 00:03:56,319
So what am I?
Your intellectual beard for the evening?

63
00:03:56,403 --> 00:03:58,029
Don't be pissed, all right?

64
00:03:58,113 --> 00:04:01,199
You gotta admit,
you met some nice people.

65
00:04:01,283 --> 00:04:03,994
All right, you had a good time. Okay?

66
00:04:05,495 --> 00:04:07,414
[Carrie] <i>You were on a date
with a modelizer</i>

67
00:04:07,497 --> 00:04:09,207
and you didn't even know it?

68
00:04:09,291 --> 00:04:13,462
If men like Nick are dating models,
what chance do ordinary women have?

69
00:04:13,545 --> 00:04:16,631
I mean, do you have to be a supermodel
to get a date in New York?

70
00:04:17,591 --> 00:04:19,843
[Carrie] <i>Modelizers
are a particular breed.</i>

71
00:04:20,343 --> 00:04:22,137
<i>They're a step beyond womanizers</i>

72
00:04:22,220 --> 00:04:24,681
<i>who will sleep with just about
anything in a skirt.</i>

73
00:04:24,931 --> 00:04:29,019
<i>Modelizers are obsessed
not with women, but with models,</i>

74
00:04:29,102 --> 00:04:33,064
<i>who in most cities are safely confined
to billboards and magazines.</i>

75
00:04:33,148 --> 00:04:36,276
<i>But in Manhattan,
actually run wild on the streets,</i>

76
00:04:36,359 --> 00:04:39,362
<i>turning the city into
a virtual Model Country Safari</i>

77
00:04:39,446 --> 00:04:41,990
<i>where men can pet the creatures
in their natural habitat.</i>

78
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,242
As if we didn't have enough problems.

79
00:04:46,411 --> 00:04:48,997
They're stupid and lazy
and they should be shot on sight.

80
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:50,582
[Samantha] I've been out
with a lots of guys

81
00:04:50,665 --> 00:04:53,585
and they say that I am just as beautiful
as a model, but I work for a living.

82
00:04:53,668 --> 00:04:55,128
I mean, I'm like, well...

83
00:04:55,212 --> 00:04:57,464
I'm like a model
who's taken the high road.

84
00:04:57,547 --> 00:05:01,051
The advantages given to models
and to beautiful women in general

85
00:05:01,134 --> 00:05:03,053
are so unfair, it makes me wanna puke.

86
00:05:03,136 --> 00:05:05,096
Sweetheart, you shouldn't say that.
You are so cute.

87
00:05:05,180 --> 00:05:06,723
Cute doesn't cut it in this town.

88
00:05:06,807 --> 00:05:09,017
What's cute compared to supermodel?

89
00:05:09,226 --> 00:05:11,686
[Carrie] <i>There's nothing like raising
the subject of models</i>

90
00:05:11,770 --> 00:05:13,063
<i>among four single women...</i>

91
00:05:13,146 --> 00:05:15,565
<i>to spice up an otherwise dull
Tuesday night.</i>

92
00:05:15,941 --> 00:05:18,318
[Charlotte] They have this
distant, sexy look.

93
00:05:18,401 --> 00:05:20,320
[Miranda] That's not sexy,
it's starvation.

94
00:05:20,403 --> 00:05:22,697
That's starvation
in the best restaurants.

95
00:05:22,781 --> 00:05:24,449
[Miranda] Yeah. What I wanna know is...

96
00:05:24,533 --> 00:05:27,118
when did all the men
get together and decide

97
00:05:27,202 --> 00:05:29,663
that they would only get it up
for giraffes with big breasts?

98
00:05:29,746 --> 00:05:30,789
[laughs hysterically]

99
00:05:30,872 --> 00:05:35,293
In some cultures, heavy women
with mustaches are considered beautiful.

100
00:05:35,377 --> 00:05:37,295
And you're looking at me
while you're saying that?

101
00:05:37,379 --> 00:05:39,422
We should just admit
that we live in a culture

102
00:05:39,506 --> 00:05:41,550
that promotes impossible
standards of beauty.

103
00:05:41,633 --> 00:05:43,385
Yeah, except men think they're possible.

104
00:05:43,468 --> 00:05:44,302
Yeah.

105
00:05:44,386 --> 00:05:46,930
I just know, no matter how good
I feel about myself,

106
00:05:47,013 --> 00:05:49,474
if I see Christy Turlington,
I just wanna give up.

107
00:05:49,558 --> 00:05:52,185
I just wanna tie her down
and force-feed her lard,

108
00:05:52,269 --> 00:05:53,895
but that's the difference
between you and me.

109
00:05:53,979 --> 00:05:55,897
-[laughs]
-What are you talking about?

110
00:05:55,981 --> 00:05:57,983
Look at you two. You're beautiful.

111
00:05:58,108 --> 00:06:01,486
-[whines] I hate my thighs.
-Oh, come on.

112
00:06:01,570 --> 00:06:03,113
I can't even open a magazine

113
00:06:03,196 --> 00:06:05,699
without thinking,
"thighs, thighs, thighs."

114
00:06:05,824 --> 00:06:08,034
Well, I'll take your thighs
and raise you a chin.

115
00:06:08,118 --> 00:06:10,161
I'll take your chin and raise you a...

116
00:06:15,417 --> 00:06:17,252
-What?
-Oh, come on.

117
00:06:17,794 --> 00:06:20,046
I happen to love the way I look.

118
00:06:20,130 --> 00:06:21,798
You should. You paid enough for it.

119
00:06:21,882 --> 00:06:23,592
[Samantha] Hey, I resent that.

120
00:06:23,675 --> 00:06:25,635
I do not believe in plastic surgery.

121
00:06:26,136 --> 00:06:27,262
Well, not yet.

122
00:06:27,345 --> 00:06:32,100
I find it fascinating that
four beautiful flesh and blood women

123
00:06:32,183 --> 00:06:34,603
could be intimidated
by some unreal fantasy.

124
00:06:34,686 --> 00:06:36,688
I mean, look. Look at this.

125
00:06:37,105 --> 00:06:39,065
Is this really intimidating
to any of you?

126
00:06:40,108 --> 00:06:42,360
-I hate my thighs.
-Pass the chicken.

127
00:06:42,444 --> 00:06:43,945
You know, I have that dress.

128
00:06:44,696 --> 00:06:46,114
[Carrie] <i>Suddenly I was interested.</i>

129
00:06:46,197 --> 00:06:49,326
<i>If models could cause
otherwise rational individuals</i>

130
00:06:49,409 --> 00:06:53,371
<i>to crumble in their presence,
exactly how powerful was beauty?</i>

131
00:06:53,747 --> 00:06:56,124
There are two types of guys
that fall for beautiful women.

132
00:06:56,499 --> 00:06:59,085
Either they're slime-balls
that are just out to get laid,

133
00:06:59,169 --> 00:07:01,630
or they fall in love with you instantly.
It's pathetic.

134
00:07:02,005 --> 00:07:03,757
Why fuck the girl in the skirt,

135
00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:06,801
if you can fuck the girl
in the ad for the skirt?

136
00:07:07,218 --> 00:07:10,931
Being beautiful is such a power.
You can get whatever you want.

137
00:07:11,014 --> 00:07:12,223
You can get anything.

138
00:07:12,307 --> 00:07:15,518
I've been offered trips to Aspen,
weekends in Paris,

139
00:07:15,810 --> 00:07:17,354
Christmas in St. Barts.

140
00:07:17,437 --> 00:07:20,231
A motorcycle, a juicer...

141
00:07:20,315 --> 00:07:22,817
It's not like models don't have brains.

142
00:07:23,234 --> 00:07:24,194
They have them.

143
00:07:25,111 --> 00:07:26,905
They just don't need to use them.

144
00:07:27,030 --> 00:07:31,242
Most guys just think you're dumb,
but I'm really very literary. I read.

145
00:07:31,451 --> 00:07:34,371
I'll sit down and I'll read
a whole magazine from cover to cover.

146
00:07:34,454 --> 00:07:35,747
Some scuba gear...

147
00:07:38,375 --> 00:07:39,793
a Herb Ritts photo.

148
00:07:40,293 --> 00:07:43,171
A BVLGARI necklace, a breast job.

149
00:07:43,630 --> 00:07:47,300
My friends think I'm shallow.
Sometimes I think they're right.

150
00:07:47,634 --> 00:07:51,763
Other times I think,
"Hey, I'm fucking a model."

151
00:07:52,555 --> 00:07:55,392
Models are a lot looser than you think.

152
00:07:56,184 --> 00:07:59,104
It's way easier to screw a model
than a regular girl

153
00:07:59,187 --> 00:08:01,231
'cause that's what they do all the time.

154
00:08:01,314 --> 00:08:03,942
It's how regular people are
when they're on vacation.

155
00:08:04,025 --> 00:08:06,611
[Carrie] <i>Barkley, a notorious modelizer</i>

156
00:08:06,695 --> 00:08:10,281
<i>was one of those SoHo wonders
who maintained a fabulous lifestyle</i>

157
00:08:10,365 --> 00:08:13,451
<i>despite never having sold
a single painting.</i>

158
00:08:13,535 --> 00:08:15,954
So you're saying it's easy to meet them?

159
00:08:16,037 --> 00:08:17,956
No, it's not so easy.

160
00:08:18,039 --> 00:08:21,126
The trick is, you gotta treat them
like they're regular girls.

161
00:08:21,209 --> 00:08:24,379
You gotta be able to roll into a place,
walk up to the hottest thing there.

162
00:08:24,462 --> 00:08:27,632
Otherwise you're finished.
It's kind of like being around dogs.

163
00:08:27,716 --> 00:08:30,468
-You gotta show no fear.
-[Carrie] Things?

164
00:08:30,552 --> 00:08:32,387
You call them things?

165
00:08:32,470 --> 00:08:34,848
Yeah. Well, they are things.

166
00:08:34,931 --> 00:08:35,974
They're beautiful things.

167
00:08:36,391 --> 00:08:37,809
And that's what my life's about,
you know?

168
00:08:40,145 --> 00:08:41,354
Beauty.

169
00:08:42,772 --> 00:08:44,399

You know, um, the other day, Derek and I
were walking past his billboard,

235

a piece of it for his apartment,

237

the bulge in your pants.

you can say, 14-feet."

who are dating models?

291
00:15:08,241 --> 00:15:10,868
Well, I'm discovering that

292
00:15:11,285 --> 00:15:13,871
some of them treat it
as a competitive sport

293
00:15:13,955 --> 00:15:17,125
and others I think
just need the validation.

294
00:15:17,375 --> 00:15:21,045
And probably others just have a thing
for exceptionally beautiful women.

295
00:15:21,796 --> 00:15:23,214
Exactly.

296
00:15:23,297 --> 00:15:25,049

No! There's nothing wrong.

No. Well, about half the time

Well, whatever it is,
you don't want to go there.

Why not?

321

secretly taping his conquests.

337
00:17:28,172 --> 00:17:29,840
No, I never date models.

338
00:17:30,383 --> 00:17:31,801
I think they're stupid.

339
00:17:32,176 --> 00:17:35,179
[Carrie] <i>I wondered if there wasn't
some kind of physics for beauty.</i>

340
00:17:35,721 --> 00:17:37,557
<i>Maybe two models repelled.</i>

341
00:17:37,848 --> 00:17:41,310
<i>Maybe models could only be
attracted to ordinary humans.</i>

342
00:17:41,394 --> 00:17:42,812
-[glasses clink]
-[laughs nervously]

343
00:17:44,021 --> 00:17:46,440
So, I think it's so cool that you write.

344
00:17:46,983 --> 00:17:49,485
-Thanks.
-I wish I could write.

345
00:17:49,860 --> 00:17:51,028
Got all these intense thoughts,

346
00:17:51,112 --> 00:17:52,822
but I can't keep them
in my head long enough

347
00:17:52,905 --> 00:17:54,365
to get them down on paper.

348
00:17:54,448 --> 00:17:55,408
Well...

349
00:17:55,658 --> 00:17:57,159
That's the big trick.

350
00:17:57,243 --> 00:17:58,995
The truth is, I'm totally neurotic.

351
00:17:59,787 --> 00:18:02,790
One minute I can be walking
down the street, totally cool,

352
00:18:03,499 --> 00:18:05,668
and the next minute
I'm depressed for no reason.

353
00:18:06,419 --> 00:18:08,045
I'm totally self-conscious.

354
00:18:08,254 --> 00:18:09,755
Like before I say something,

355
00:18:09,839 --> 00:18:12,341
I say it in my head first
so it doesn't come out wrong.

356
00:18:14,468 --> 00:18:16,387
Doesn't that seem like a waste of time?

357
00:18:17,096 --> 00:18:18,472
Only takes a second.

358
00:18:22,476 --> 00:18:26,564
-And sometimes I get so distracted.
-What's distracting you now?

359
00:18:26,647 --> 00:18:28,232
-Your nose.
-[scoffs]

360
00:18:28,316 --> 00:18:31,027
-Thanks a lot. I hate my nose.
-No.

361
00:18:31,110 --> 00:18:34,614
It's just so cute.
I hate my nose, too. It's too big.

362
00:18:34,822 --> 00:18:37,366
-But I think it depends on my hair.
-[Carrie] Yeah.

363
00:18:39,994 --> 00:18:41,412
I see what you mean.

364
00:18:41,746 --> 00:18:43,497
[Derek] So what do you want to be
when you grow up?

365
00:18:43,706 --> 00:18:46,917
Oh, well, I think this might be it.

366
00:18:48,419 --> 00:18:49,962
What do you want to be when you grow up?

367
00:18:50,296 --> 00:18:53,799
I'd like to move back to Iowa
and have kids and be a cop.

368
00:18:57,511 --> 00:19:00,181
[Carrie] <i>I felt like I was in my bedroom
when I was 16</i>

369
00:19:00,264 --> 00:19:03,017
<i>and I used to hang out with this guy
who was really beautiful,</i>

370
00:19:03,100 --> 00:19:06,103
<i>and my parents thought I was helping him
with his chemistry homework.</i>

371
00:19:06,854 --> 00:19:08,439
Do you mind if we just lie here?

372
00:19:09,190 --> 00:19:10,775
I get so lonely in the city.

373
00:19:11,525 --> 00:19:13,778
Sometimes it's just nice
to lie with someone.

374
00:19:14,779 --> 00:19:15,988
Sure.

375
00:19:17,281 --> 00:19:18,866
We could do that.

376
00:19:19,992 --> 00:19:22,995
[Carrie] <i>It was hard to imagine
that anyone so beautiful,</i>

377
00:19:23,079 --> 00:19:24,580
<i>could ever be lonely.</i>

378
00:19:26,874 --> 00:19:29,460
<i>Meanwhile, somewhere below 14th Street,</i>

379
00:19:29,543 --> 00:19:33,005
<i>two ordinary joes were doing
their own lonely late-night thing.</i>

380
00:19:33,130 --> 00:19:35,007
-Anything else, miss?
-No, that's it.

381
00:19:35,091 --> 00:19:37,885
-Just cat food?
-Yes, just cat food.

382
00:19:38,511 --> 00:19:39,804
Hey!

383
00:19:40,554 --> 00:19:42,473
Oh, hi, Skipper.

384
00:19:42,556 --> 00:19:45,643
So like, how come you haven't been
returning any of my calls?

385
00:19:45,726 --> 00:19:47,978
I'm sorry. It's been a really busy week.

386
00:19:48,354 --> 00:19:50,564
-I thought we had a connection.
-Oh...

387
00:19:51,357 --> 00:19:53,818
I don't know. Could I get my change?

388
00:19:53,901 --> 00:19:56,195
You mean you get that way with
every guy that you're with?

389
00:19:56,654 --> 00:19:58,447
No, it's just...

390
00:20:00,866 --> 00:20:03,536
Don't you wanna go out
with a girl your own age?

391
00:20:03,619 --> 00:20:05,162
It's got nothing to do with age.

392
00:20:05,246 --> 00:20:06,163
I...

393
00:20:06,997 --> 00:20:08,749
I think you're luminous.

394
00:20:10,167 --> 00:20:12,169
-You think I'm luminous?
-Totally.

397
00:20:21,512 --> 00:20:22,847
All right, let's get out of here.

398
00:20:23,681 --> 00:20:25,850
Okay, yeah.
Let me just pay for my Cap'n Crunch.

399
00:20:26,475 --> 00:20:28,394
There's cereal at my place.

400
00:20:29,145 --> 00:20:29,979

What?

The camera.

408
00:20:51,375 --> 00:20:52,793
Your friend, Carrie,
tell you about that?

409
00:20:52,877 --> 00:20:54,211
Uh-huh.

410
00:20:54,336 --> 00:20:56,297
Don't worry. I only tape models.

411
00:20:59,175 --> 00:21:00,509
I won't mind.

412
00:21:02,595 --> 00:21:04,472
Fine. I'll make an exception.

I knew he was gay.

It's amazing what you'll do
