1
00:00:07,508 --> 00:00:11,678
[theme music playing]
2
00:00:48,549 --> 00:00:50,008
[Carrie] Let's be honest.
3
00:00:50,092 --> 00:00:52,511
Sometimes there is nothing
harder in life
4
00:00:52,594 --> 00:00:54,846
than being happy for somebody else.
5
00:00:55,138 --> 00:00:59,851
Like lottery winners or extremely
successful people who are 27.
6
00:01:01,311 --> 00:01:03,522
And then, there's that hell on Earth
7
00:01:03,605 --> 00:01:06,024
that only your closest friends
can inflict on you...
8
00:01:06,108 --> 00:01:07,609
[groaning]
9
00:01:08,443 --> 00:01:09,653
...the baby shower.
10
00:01:10,445 --> 00:01:13,949
You could not drag me to that thing
if you put a grappling hook in my mouth.
11
00:01:14,032 --> 00:01:15,534
Frankly, I think it's sad
12
00:01:15,617 --> 00:01:18,328
the way she's using a child
to validate her existence.
13
00:01:18,453 --> 00:01:22,249
Exactly. Why can't she just use sex
and a nice cocktail like the rest of us?
14
00:01:22,374 --> 00:01:24,001
[Charlotte] I'm happy for her. I am!
15
00:01:24,418 --> 00:01:28,338
If I see another crepe paper stork,
I'm gonna rip its cardboard beak off.
16
00:01:28,505 --> 00:01:31,133
Can I ask you,
would any baby shower bother you,
17
00:01:31,216 --> 00:01:33,427
or is this one worse
because it's Laney's?
18
00:01:34,011 --> 00:01:35,554
[rock music playing]
19
00:01:41,393 --> 00:01:43,895
Laney Berlin.
You can't really describe her.
20
00:01:43,979 --> 00:01:45,522
You just had to know her.
21
00:01:45,606 --> 00:01:47,065
[girls squealing]
22
00:01:47,566 --> 00:01:50,235
[Carrie] Chances are eight years ago
you probably did.
23
00:01:52,029 --> 00:01:55,657
So help me,
she fucks on my couch, she buys it.
24
00:01:56,575 --> 00:01:58,160
Isn't that how
you got the couch from me?
25
00:01:58,243 --> 00:01:59,995
[man] Hey, Laney, show us your tits!
26
00:02:00,704 --> 00:02:03,707
Give it a rest!
You guys have seen enough of my tits.
27
00:02:03,790 --> 00:02:05,417
[all laughing]
28
00:02:05,626 --> 00:02:07,210
[crowd chanting] Tits! Tits! Tits!
29
00:02:09,546 --> 00:02:11,548
[Carrie] Laney did A&R
for a record label,
30
00:02:11,632 --> 00:02:14,843
or, as she used to call it,
sex with an expense account.
31
00:02:14,926 --> 00:02:19,014
Every time she went on a scouting trip,
she came back with some hot new group
32
00:02:19,097 --> 00:02:22,184
and a gynecological condition
no one had ever heard of.
33
00:02:22,517 --> 00:02:26,396
Those things make so many public
appearances, they need a booking agent.
34
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:27,564
[laughs sarcastically]
35
00:02:30,651 --> 00:02:33,904
Look at her, the poster girl
for low self-esteem.
36
00:02:33,987 --> 00:02:37,199
You know, I have low self-esteem,
but I express it the healthy way,
37
00:02:37,282 --> 00:02:39,159
by eating a box of Double Stuf Oreos.
38
00:02:39,242 --> 00:02:40,577
She's so sad.
39
00:02:40,911 --> 00:02:42,829
[crowd chanting]
40
00:02:43,121 --> 00:02:44,456
Take it off!
41
00:02:46,500 --> 00:02:49,753
[Carrie] Samantha and Laney had
a long-standing rivalry.
42
00:02:49,836 --> 00:02:51,880
Both wild, both sexy,
43
00:02:52,255 --> 00:02:54,091
both incredibly insecure.
44
00:02:55,467 --> 00:02:59,012
Two years ago, Laney did
the most shocking thing of all.
45
00:02:59,346 --> 00:03:02,224
She met a Wall Street
investment banker, married him
46
00:03:02,307 --> 00:03:03,975
and moved to Connecticut.
47
00:03:04,226 --> 00:03:05,894
That wasn't supposed to happen.
48
00:03:05,977 --> 00:03:08,730
She was supposed to have sex
with Sid Vicious and move to heroin.
49
00:03:11,650 --> 00:03:13,443
Come on, you guys. It'll be fun.
50
00:03:13,527 --> 00:03:15,404
We've never even been
to visit her in Connecticut.
51
00:03:15,487 --> 00:03:17,030
Exactly. There's a reason for that.
52
00:03:17,114 --> 00:03:19,074
-Lyme disease?
-[Miranda] That's another good one.
53
00:03:19,157 --> 00:03:21,910
-But it's a baby shower.
-No, it's a cult.
54
00:03:21,993 --> 00:03:24,913
-A cult? What are you talking about?
-Listen to me.
55
00:03:24,996 --> 00:03:27,416
They all think the same, dress the same
56
00:03:27,499 --> 00:03:30,585
and sacrifice themselves
to the same cause... babies.
57
00:03:30,711 --> 00:03:31,920
She's insane.
58
00:03:32,003 --> 00:03:34,923
Hey! I've lost two sisters
to the motherhood.
59
00:03:35,006 --> 00:03:36,341
I know what I'm talking about.
60
00:03:36,508 --> 00:03:38,969
I think we should go.
It's the right thing to do.
61
00:03:39,052 --> 00:03:40,345
Give me one good reason.
62
00:03:40,929 --> 00:03:44,224
Okay. You're driving down the road,
you see a sign,
63
00:03:44,307 --> 00:03:46,852
it says "two-headed snake,"
you pull over.
64
00:03:46,935 --> 00:03:49,563
Wild Laney is having a baby shower.
You pull over.
65
00:03:50,313 --> 00:03:52,482
She's got a point.
It's the right thing to do.
66
00:03:53,483 --> 00:03:55,944
Just imagine how fat she must be.
67
00:03:56,695 --> 00:04:00,490
[Carrie] As I penciled in the date,
I noticed something missing.
68
00:04:01,575 --> 00:04:04,411
In between the Versace show
and dinner at Moomba,
69
00:04:04,828 --> 00:04:06,121
there it wasn't...
70
00:04:06,913 --> 00:04:08,749
my period, four days late.
71
00:04:10,208 --> 00:04:13,128
That Saturday,
also known as "Seven Days Late",
72
00:04:13,211 --> 00:04:16,298
four city girls set off
to visit the country mice.
73
00:04:16,381 --> 00:04:18,508
Are we there yet?
74
00:04:20,719 --> 00:04:23,638
I've already had two of these,
so we're gonna be stopping a lot.
75
00:04:24,014 --> 00:04:27,726
Hey, nice outfit. Is there gonna be some
belly dancing at the shower?
76
00:04:27,809 --> 00:04:29,352
Yeah, right after the gifts.
77
00:04:29,603 --> 00:04:33,315
Oh, shit! I totally spaced.
I forgot to buy her a present.
78
00:04:34,608 --> 00:04:37,277
How tacky is it to give
the mother-to-be a fistful of cash?
79
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,572
Don't worry about it.
You can go in on mine.
80
00:04:40,655 --> 00:04:43,074
You bought a pregnant woman
a bottle of Scotch?
81
00:04:43,158 --> 00:04:45,076
The invitation said BYOB.
82
00:04:45,452 --> 00:04:47,454
That meant "bring your own baby."
83
00:04:48,038 --> 00:04:49,915
-What did you get her?
-Condoms.
84
00:04:50,665 --> 00:04:54,503
-Seriously, what did you get her?
-Seriously. They're pastel.
85
00:04:55,212 --> 00:04:56,963
[Charlotte] Hey, guys! Wait, wait!
86
00:04:57,130 --> 00:04:59,466
Hey, guys, wait for me!
87
00:04:59,633 --> 00:05:02,844
Oh, my God!
Look at the size of that thing.
88
00:05:03,011 --> 00:05:05,889
-We could drive that to Connecticut.
-I'm putting my name on that card.
89
00:05:06,389 --> 00:05:09,100
All right. Go, go, go, go.
90
00:05:14,314 --> 00:05:16,107
Does anybody know how to drive?
91
00:05:19,110 --> 00:05:21,404
[jazz music playing]
92
00:05:21,571 --> 00:05:24,741
[Carrie] As I turned the midsize coupe
onto Hollyhock Lane,
93
00:05:24,825 --> 00:05:27,744
I was struck by how a place
so filled with nature
94
00:05:27,828 --> 00:05:30,372
could look so unnatural.
95
00:05:39,339 --> 00:05:42,759
Oh, Toto, I don't think
we're in Manhattan anymore.
96
00:05:44,094 --> 00:05:46,513
Oh, her house is beautiful!
97
00:05:46,596 --> 00:05:49,391
[gasps] Oh, and look at her dog!
98
00:05:49,641 --> 00:05:52,227
Hey, boy! Come here, boy!
99
00:05:52,978 --> 00:05:53,937
Come on, boy!
100
00:05:54,062 --> 00:05:55,313
[electrical buzzing]
101
00:05:59,192 --> 00:06:00,610
Why didn't he come?
102
00:06:00,694 --> 00:06:02,445
Invisible electric fencing.
103
00:06:02,529 --> 00:06:04,906
It's the latest thing. My sister has it.
104
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:06,533
Okay!
105
00:06:07,033 --> 00:06:08,326
Ready, girls?
106
00:06:09,286 --> 00:06:10,453
Let's go.
107
00:06:15,959 --> 00:06:18,169
Ooh, Charlotte sweetie,
don't forget our gift.
108
00:06:28,263 --> 00:06:30,307
[all screaming]
109
00:06:31,933 --> 00:06:34,352
-Look at you! You're huge!
-I know.
110
00:06:34,436 --> 00:06:37,188
Isn't it great?
I can eat anything I want. Jealous?
111
00:06:37,355 --> 00:06:39,900
Come on in. Come in.
112
00:06:41,151 --> 00:06:43,987
Brigid, Roxanne,
these are my friends from the city.
113
00:06:44,070 --> 00:06:46,323
-Hi.
-We didn't think you'd make it.
114
00:06:46,406 --> 00:06:48,867
We got lost. We took the wrong bridge.
115
00:06:48,950 --> 00:06:51,995
Remember that feeling, like if you left
Manhattan even for a second,
116
00:06:52,078 --> 00:06:53,496
you'd fall off the edge of the earth?
117
00:06:53,580 --> 00:06:55,540
Oh, God, don't remind me.
118
00:06:55,624 --> 00:06:56,625
[Charlotte] Hi!
119
00:06:56,708 --> 00:07:00,962
Oh, my God!
It's the Bellini baby basket!
120
00:07:01,087 --> 00:07:02,839
Oh, look, everybody!
121
00:07:02,923 --> 00:07:05,842
-It's the Bellini baby basket!
-[all] Aw!
122
00:07:05,967 --> 00:07:09,512
Speaking of Bellinis,
I'm gonna have a big drink.
123
00:07:10,180 --> 00:07:11,598
Jealous?
124
00:07:13,350 --> 00:07:16,728
Is she still barhopping and bed-hopping?
125
00:07:17,020 --> 00:07:19,356
It's so sad, isn't it?
When that's all you have.
126
00:07:20,482 --> 00:07:23,026
-Okay, this is Rebecca.
-Hi.
127
00:07:23,401 --> 00:07:25,195
-Susan...
-Hello.
128
00:07:25,278 --> 00:07:26,696
-Mindy.
-Hey.
129
00:07:26,780 --> 00:07:29,324
Don't get up, sweetheart.
She's doing this in-vitro thing.
130
00:07:29,407 --> 00:07:31,534
She's not supposed to move at all.
131
00:07:32,619 --> 00:07:34,496
And that's Betsy and her boy Harry.
132
00:07:34,579 --> 00:07:36,706
They're inseparable.
They do everything together.
133
00:07:36,790 --> 00:07:38,792
We call them our old married couple.
134
00:07:39,084 --> 00:07:40,251
Except it's not really that funny
135
00:07:40,335 --> 00:07:42,379
now that Betsy and her husband
are getting divorced.
136
00:07:42,462 --> 00:07:44,172
[woman] Laney, we need you!
137
00:07:45,924 --> 00:07:50,387
So all I have to do to meet
the ideal man is give birth to him.
138
00:07:51,054 --> 00:07:54,057
I love my son. Andy is 11 months old.
139
00:07:54,140 --> 00:07:57,185
He is a god,
and I tell him so every day.
140
00:08:00,188 --> 00:08:02,941
Thirty years from now,
what do you think the chances are
141
00:08:03,024 --> 00:08:05,652
that some woman's gonna be able
to make Andy happy?
142
00:08:05,986 --> 00:08:07,612
I'm gonna go with zero.
143
00:08:08,405 --> 00:08:09,948
[all] Aw!
144
00:08:11,324 --> 00:08:13,952
Oh, it's adorable!
145
00:08:14,327 --> 00:08:15,912
Look at that Charlotte.
146
00:08:15,996 --> 00:08:18,707
-I wish they made this in my size.
-[all laughing]
147
00:08:19,165 --> 00:08:21,209
I told you, it's a cult.
We can't separate.
148
00:08:21,292 --> 00:08:23,753
Once they isolate you from the herd,
it's all over.
149
00:08:24,671 --> 00:08:27,257
[Carrie] As I watched Laney
tear open a terrycloth baby bib
150
00:08:27,340 --> 00:08:29,259
with the same enthusiasm
she once reserved
151
00:08:29,342 --> 00:08:31,219
for tearing of frock stars' pants,
152
00:08:31,469 --> 00:08:33,179
I couldn't help but wonder,
153
00:08:34,305 --> 00:08:35,432
"Was I next?"
154
00:08:36,141 --> 00:08:37,892
[gasping]
155
00:08:38,643 --> 00:08:40,103
You know what? I have to pee.
156
00:08:40,687 --> 00:08:44,024
If you're not back in five minutes,
I'm coming after you.
157
00:08:47,485 --> 00:08:50,071
[Carrie] The truth is,
I needed to escape.
158
00:08:50,405 --> 00:08:52,615
The party had turned into a preview...
159
00:08:53,158 --> 00:08:55,994
A preview of a life
I didn't know if I was ready for.
160
00:09:02,709 --> 00:09:06,421
Even seven months pregnant,
Laney couldn't keep her clothes on.
161
00:09:06,796 --> 00:09:09,841
Clearly, a part of the old Laney
had survived.
162
00:09:10,258 --> 00:09:14,846
But I wondered, what was still buried
deep inside the mommies downstairs?
163
00:09:15,263 --> 00:09:18,058
Before I married my husband,
I slept around with everybody.
164
00:09:19,017 --> 00:09:21,061
Now I have an Internet lover.
165
00:09:21,978 --> 00:09:23,354
No one knows.
166
00:09:25,315 --> 00:09:29,569
When I was senior vice-president, 212
people reported to me on a daily basis.
167
00:09:29,652 --> 00:09:31,613
Now I just yell at the gardener
168
00:09:31,988 --> 00:09:34,199
who doesn't understand a single word.
169
00:09:36,201 --> 00:09:39,162
I'm exactly the same. I love my life.
170
00:09:39,245 --> 00:09:42,916
But every now and then,
I can't help but think about...
171
00:09:43,958 --> 00:09:45,085
Lisa.
172
00:09:45,502 --> 00:09:48,671
Sometimes I climb up
into the kids' tree house
173
00:09:49,172 --> 00:09:50,548
with my Walkman,
174
00:09:50,965 --> 00:09:52,300
light up a joint,
175
00:09:53,093 --> 00:09:54,886
and listen to Peter Frampton.
176
00:09:55,428 --> 00:09:56,554
[giggles]
177
00:10:10,318 --> 00:10:13,696
There's a woman in there breast-feeding
a child who can chew steak.
178
00:10:14,239 --> 00:10:15,698
You know how I feel about that?
179
00:10:16,282 --> 00:10:19,369
If you can ask for it,
you're probably too old to have it.
180
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:21,704
[woman] Jeremy, no!
181
00:10:22,789 --> 00:10:24,457
I just realized,
182
00:10:24,541 --> 00:10:27,460
maybe it's maturity
or the wisdom that comes with age,
183
00:10:27,544 --> 00:10:31,923
but the witch in Hansel and Gretel,
she's very misunderstood.
184
00:10:32,382 --> 00:10:35,051
I mean, the woman builds her dream house
185
00:10:35,343 --> 00:10:38,596
and these brats come along
and start eating it.
186
00:10:39,347 --> 00:10:40,431
[laughing]
187
00:10:42,058 --> 00:10:44,269
I just have to tell you
your home is beautiful.
188
00:10:44,561 --> 00:10:47,730
Thank you. I know it's a big change.
189
00:10:48,565 --> 00:10:51,151
But at some point,
you have to get serious and settle down.
190
00:10:51,568 --> 00:10:54,028
I mean, life is not
a Jacqueline Susann novel...
191
00:10:54,112 --> 00:10:57,407
four friends looking
for life and love in the big city.
192
00:10:59,742 --> 00:11:03,288
Stop it! You are not going
to clean up at your own shower.
193
00:11:03,371 --> 00:11:06,708
Yeah, relax, 'cause once little Todd
or Shayla comes around,
194
00:11:06,791 --> 00:11:08,209
you'll never stop cleaning up.
195
00:11:08,293 --> 00:11:10,044
Shayla? Did you say Shayla?
196
00:11:10,128 --> 00:11:13,423
-It's so unique, isn't it?
-It's so my name!
197
00:11:14,340 --> 00:11:17,302
-I thought your name was Charlotte.
-No, it's not my name.
198
00:11:17,385 --> 00:11:19,762
It's my name, my secret baby name
199
00:11:19,846 --> 00:11:23,266
that I made up when I was 11 years old
for my daughter when I had her.
200
00:11:23,725 --> 00:11:26,269
I told you.
Don't tell me you don't remember.
201
00:11:26,352 --> 00:11:28,396
No, I'm sorry, I really don't.
202
00:11:28,605 --> 00:11:32,358
[Carrie] A complete lie. She remembered.
We all remembered.
203
00:11:32,942 --> 00:11:35,486
Charlotte had made us all swear
never to use it.
204
00:11:35,653 --> 00:11:37,614
Anyway, I think my husband
heard it somewhere else.
205
00:11:37,697 --> 00:11:40,241
Really? Where?
Because, I didn't tell him.
206
00:11:40,575 --> 00:11:43,203
I can't believe
you're freaking out over a name.
207
00:11:43,286 --> 00:11:46,456
-I mean, you're not even pregnant.
-That's not the point!
208
00:11:46,789 --> 00:11:49,459
-What's going on?
-She stole my baby name.
209
00:11:50,293 --> 00:11:51,294
You bitch!
210
00:11:51,377 --> 00:11:52,462
[scoffs]
211
00:11:52,712 --> 00:11:53,838
Let's go.
212
00:12:00,553 --> 00:12:03,640
[Carrie] Beers and bar nuts
at Flanagan's off Route Five
213
00:12:03,723 --> 00:12:07,143
were the perfect antidote
to Laney's House of Humiliation.
214
00:12:07,227 --> 00:12:11,397
If I hadn't waited this long to have
a baby, that name would be mine.
215
00:12:11,481 --> 00:12:13,566
Oh, Charlotte, come on.
You're still young.
216
00:12:13,650 --> 00:12:15,401
You have plenty of time
to have children.
217
00:12:15,485 --> 00:12:17,111
No. No, I don't.
218
00:12:17,195 --> 00:12:19,989
I don't want to be
one of those 40-year-old moms.
219
00:12:20,990 --> 00:12:24,410
-No offense.
-I don't want to be one of them either.
220
00:12:24,494 --> 00:12:26,996
There are no frozen eggs in my freezer.
221
00:12:27,914 --> 00:12:29,457
Was the bathroom clean?
222
00:12:29,874 --> 00:12:31,167
What do you think?
223
00:12:32,085 --> 00:12:36,589
This is why I hate baby showers.
You always leave feeling depressed.
224
00:12:36,673 --> 00:12:38,508
Paddy, another round.
225
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,302
Well, I, for one, love my life.
226
00:12:41,386 --> 00:12:44,681
And I will not be made to feel
inadequate by all this baby talk.
227
00:12:45,682 --> 00:12:48,268
I spoke to a woman
with a Master's in Finance.
228
00:12:48,351 --> 00:12:50,979
All she wanted to talk about
was her Diaper Genie.
229
00:12:51,354 --> 00:12:53,273
Oh, come on, you guys.
It doesn't have to be like that.
230
00:12:53,356 --> 00:12:55,316
You don't have to lose yourself
to have a kid.
231
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,528
I know plenty of cool, hip mothers
232
00:12:58,611 --> 00:13:02,699
who live in the city and who still have
great careers and stuff.
233
00:13:02,782 --> 00:13:03,950
[both] Who?
234
00:13:05,994 --> 00:13:07,704
I'm late. I missed my period.
235
00:13:07,912 --> 00:13:10,081
Paddy, honey, where are those beers?
236
00:13:10,832 --> 00:13:11,874
How late?
237
00:13:11,958 --> 00:13:15,503
I don't know, just a few... Seven days.
238
00:13:15,586 --> 00:13:18,047
Oh, honey, gray area.
239
00:13:18,423 --> 00:13:20,550
True, you're in front
of the firing squad,
240
00:13:20,633 --> 00:13:22,593
but you haven't been shot.
241
00:13:22,802 --> 00:13:26,639
-I was once ten days late.
-Really? Were you having sex?
242
00:13:28,057 --> 00:13:29,058
No.
243
00:13:30,935 --> 00:13:33,688
What are you going to do?
You gonna tell Mr. Big?
244
00:13:33,896 --> 00:13:36,816
No, I am not going to tell him
until I know what I...
245
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,652
till I know how I... what...
246
00:13:41,070 --> 00:13:44,490
No, I am not going to tell him
247
00:13:44,574 --> 00:13:47,118
until I know how to finish
this sentence.
248
00:13:50,413 --> 00:13:52,040
-What did I miss?
-[all] Nothing.
249
00:13:54,917 --> 00:13:57,545
[Carrie] That night,
Charlotte got out her wish box
250
00:13:57,628 --> 00:14:00,923
where she kept reminders of all
the things she hoped for in life...
251
00:14:02,008 --> 00:14:03,718
a gift for Shayla,
252
00:14:06,554 --> 00:14:08,306
a town house in the city,
253
00:14:08,514 --> 00:14:10,641
a beach house in East Hampton,
254
00:14:14,479 --> 00:14:15,646
her dream man,
255
00:14:19,901 --> 00:14:21,277
her backup dream man.
256
00:14:23,905 --> 00:14:27,784
It's very strange when the life
you never had flashes before your eyes.
257
00:14:29,660 --> 00:14:31,746
Carrie Held Hostage: Day Eight.
258
00:14:31,829 --> 00:14:33,414
Miranda and I went shopping.
259
00:14:33,498 --> 00:14:37,418
I'm on total ovary overload.
Which kind do I get?
260
00:14:37,502 --> 00:14:40,296
Here. This one's on sale, half off.
261
00:14:40,380 --> 00:14:44,467
Sweetie, I just spent $395 on a pair
of open-toed Gucci's last week.
262
00:14:44,550 --> 00:14:46,803
-This is not the place to be frugal.
-All right.
263
00:14:47,178 --> 00:14:48,721
Well, what about this one?
264
00:14:48,846 --> 00:14:50,473
Oh, First Response!
I remember First Response.
265
00:14:50,556 --> 00:14:53,559
I had a very reassuring moment once
with First Response.
266
00:14:55,603 --> 00:14:56,896
Here's hoping.
267
00:15:00,149 --> 00:15:01,150
What if I am?
268
00:15:02,568 --> 00:15:03,861
If you am, you am.
269
00:15:04,487 --> 00:15:06,531
I don't think I'd be very good at this.
270
00:15:07,156 --> 00:15:09,367
I mean, am I maternal?
271
00:15:10,410 --> 00:15:11,661
Um...
272
00:15:11,911 --> 00:15:12,954
You know, when I was a girl,
273
00:15:13,037 --> 00:15:15,581
I left my favorite baby doll
out in the rain for four days.
274
00:15:15,665 --> 00:15:17,792
Her face peeled off. That can't be good.
275
00:15:17,875 --> 00:15:18,751
Yeah, I mean, but if you...
276
00:15:18,835 --> 00:15:20,711
I shaved my Barbie's head
when I was mad at her.
277
00:15:21,504 --> 00:15:23,381
When I was little, I took a rubber band
278
00:15:23,464 --> 00:15:25,258
and put it around my dog,
Pepper's snout.
279
00:15:26,592 --> 00:15:28,302
-What?
-God.
280
00:15:32,432 --> 00:15:34,851
Can you picture it, us with...
281
00:15:34,934 --> 00:15:36,018
Kids?
282
00:15:37,103 --> 00:15:39,939
-Babies.
-I'll probably end up with five.
283
00:15:40,857 --> 00:15:43,276
[Carrie] Five hours
and two packs of gum later,
284
00:15:43,609 --> 00:15:45,319
I decided I couldn't take the test
285
00:15:45,403 --> 00:15:48,865
till I knew exactly how I felt
about the results, either way.
286
00:15:49,449 --> 00:15:50,575
[phone ringing]
287
00:15:55,997 --> 00:15:58,166
-Hello? Oh, hi!
-It's Laney.
288
00:15:58,249 --> 00:15:59,333
I just wanted to tell you
289
00:15:59,417 --> 00:16:01,294
it was so great to see you guys
the other day.
290
00:16:01,669 --> 00:16:05,882
I know I was a big bitch, but you
gotta know my hormones are going wild.
291
00:16:06,257 --> 00:16:10,011
The truth is, Laney's hormones
have been going wild since she was ten.
292
00:16:10,595 --> 00:16:13,723
Seeing you made me remember
how much fun we used to have.
293
00:16:13,806 --> 00:16:16,726
Yeah, we did. It's amazing
how much time has gone by.
294
00:16:16,809 --> 00:16:18,060
Tell me about it.
295
00:16:18,895 --> 00:16:21,063
But I miss us. I really do.
296
00:16:21,814 --> 00:16:23,900
-We should get together more often.
-Mm-hmm.
297
00:16:25,902 --> 00:16:28,821
But I mean, we should get together,
not just say we're going to,
298
00:16:28,905 --> 00:16:30,823
but really do it.
299
00:16:31,032 --> 00:16:33,409
Absolutely. Listen, I've gotta go.
I'm running late.
300
00:16:33,493 --> 00:16:34,619
Where are you off to?
301
00:16:34,702 --> 00:16:37,163
Actually, Samantha's having
one of her parties.
302
00:16:37,246 --> 00:16:38,664
-She is?
-Yeah.
303
00:16:38,748 --> 00:16:42,752
Oh, man! See, that's the kind of thing.
I love Samantha's parties.
304
00:16:42,835 --> 00:16:45,838
-Why didn't you tell me?
-Next time. I promise, all right?
305
00:16:46,297 --> 00:16:47,715
Okay, bye.
306
00:16:50,635 --> 00:16:52,345
Faced with her own inadequacies,
307
00:16:52,428 --> 00:16:55,014
Samantha did something
only Samantha could do.
308
00:16:55,097 --> 00:16:57,350
She threw an I-don't-have-a-baby shower
309
00:16:57,433 --> 00:16:59,435
to let everyone know she was fabulous.
310
00:16:59,519 --> 00:17:01,354
Great to see you!
311
00:17:01,729 --> 00:17:03,523
Oh! I don't have a baby!
312
00:17:03,606 --> 00:17:05,233
Everybody drink!
313
00:17:05,316 --> 00:17:06,192
[all laughing]
314
00:17:06,651 --> 00:17:09,111
-Are you having fun?
-Yes I am,
315
00:17:09,195 --> 00:17:11,030
but not quite as much fun as Miranda.
316
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,950
[Carrie] Still convinced that marriage
plus baby equals death,
317
00:17:14,033 --> 00:17:15,785
Miranda chose life...
318
00:17:15,868 --> 00:17:18,496
also known as Ed, Samantha's accountant.
319
00:17:18,663 --> 00:17:21,082
If she fucks on that couch, she buys it.
320
00:17:22,583 --> 00:17:24,835
[squealing]
321
00:17:24,919 --> 00:17:26,087
[confused squealing]
322
00:17:28,130 --> 00:17:31,300
Hey, you guys,
the entertainment has arrived!
323
00:17:33,761 --> 00:17:37,557
-What are you doing here?
-What I do best... partying!
324
00:17:37,723 --> 00:17:40,393
-Maybe we better sit down.
-Fuck no! Where's the bar?
325
00:17:40,476 --> 00:17:41,644
Somebody get me a drink!
326
00:17:41,727 --> 00:17:43,688
I don't know, Laney.
You think that's a good idea?
327
00:17:43,771 --> 00:17:47,316
Fuck yeah. I'm due any day.
What's one little drink gonna matter?
328
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,110
Maybe it'll help me go into labor.
329
00:17:51,445 --> 00:17:54,156
She gives birth on that couch,
she buys it.
330
00:17:55,116 --> 00:17:57,159
What are you doing here?
What is she doing here?
331
00:17:57,243 --> 00:17:59,120
-I missed you guys.
-[Charlotte] Us?
332
00:17:59,203 --> 00:18:01,664
The pathetic, live-for-the-moment
New York single girls
333
00:18:01,747 --> 00:18:03,874
who think that life
is a Jacqueline Susann novel?
334
00:18:03,958 --> 00:18:07,878
Look, I'm sure you get asked this
all the time, but what is your problem?
335
00:18:07,962 --> 00:18:12,341
My problem? Just that I had a dream
and you killed it, in a nutshell.
336
00:18:12,508 --> 00:18:14,218
Really? Well, then you're lucky,
337
00:18:14,302 --> 00:18:16,304
because at least you know
what happened to your dream.
338
00:18:16,387 --> 00:18:18,556
I have absolutely no idea
what happened to mine.
339
00:18:19,015 --> 00:18:20,308
[man] Hi, Laney!
340
00:18:20,850 --> 00:18:23,853
[Carrie] I spent the next hour
keeping Charlotte away from Laney,
341
00:18:23,936 --> 00:18:25,438
and Laney away from the vodka.
342
00:18:25,521 --> 00:18:28,024
Well, well, well.
Look who came up for air.
343
00:18:28,107 --> 00:18:31,068
He's a good kisser
and he's gonna do my taxes for free.
344
00:18:31,360 --> 00:18:33,446
Excuse me. I'm sorry. Hey, Carrie.
345
00:18:33,529 --> 00:18:34,697
Hey, Jonathan.
346
00:18:34,780 --> 00:18:37,658
Listen, I've been talking to your friend
Charlotte. She's great.
347
00:18:37,742 --> 00:18:40,828
-Is she seeing anybody?
-Wide open.
348
00:18:40,995 --> 00:18:43,122
-Just don't mention the name Shayla.
-[giggles]
349
00:18:43,247 --> 00:18:44,874
-I'm sorry?
-Nothing.
350
00:18:44,957 --> 00:18:47,585
It's a private joke. Go forth and date.
351
00:18:48,628 --> 00:18:50,254
His name was Jonathan Bix.
352
00:18:50,838 --> 00:18:52,340
He was a trader at Bear Stearns
353
00:18:52,423 --> 00:18:55,051
and had just closed escrow
on a house in the Hamptons.
354
00:18:56,510 --> 00:18:59,639
Charlotte suddenly realized
all was not lost.
355
00:18:59,930 --> 00:19:01,265
As she sipped her beer,
356
00:19:01,349 --> 00:19:04,644
she mentally Scotch-taped
her dream house back together again.
357
00:19:07,063 --> 00:19:08,689
This party sucks.
358
00:19:09,607 --> 00:19:12,443
Laney, maybe we should think
about getting you home, all right?
359
00:19:12,985 --> 00:19:14,904
No, I don't wanna go back there.
360
00:19:17,990 --> 00:19:19,950
Hey, you fuckers.
Who wants to see my tits?
361
00:19:22,578 --> 00:19:23,496
I'll take a look.
362
00:19:23,579 --> 00:19:25,915
Laney, come on. Come back.
Don't do this.
363
00:19:25,998 --> 00:19:28,167
Relax! It'll be fun!
364
00:19:28,250 --> 00:19:30,836
All right, look.
Now we're gonna have a party.
365
00:19:32,088 --> 00:19:34,423
Pregnant lady showing her tits!
366
00:19:37,385 --> 00:19:38,594
Oh, my God.
367
00:19:38,678 --> 00:19:41,013
This is at once so sad
368
00:19:41,097 --> 00:19:44,809
and the most fabulous validation
I've ever gotten in my life.
369
00:19:55,528 --> 00:19:56,570
This is weird.
370
00:19:58,280 --> 00:19:59,615
I... I don't...
371
00:20:00,700 --> 00:20:02,368
I don't think I can do this.
372
00:20:03,953 --> 00:20:04,995
No biggie.
373
00:20:08,541 --> 00:20:11,252
[Carrie] Despite her best efforts
to run free,
374
00:20:11,335 --> 00:20:14,463
it appeared that Laney Berlin's
invisible electric fence
375
00:20:14,547 --> 00:20:16,215
stretched all the way to Manhattan.
376
00:20:19,009 --> 00:20:21,887
No, no, I know I can do it.
Just give me one more chance.
377
00:20:21,971 --> 00:20:25,349
Laney, it's not who you are anymore.
It's all right.
378
00:20:27,727 --> 00:20:31,147
I didn't know that was gonna happen.
Nobody told me that was gonna happen.
379
00:20:31,230 --> 00:20:33,858
I mean, somebody should warn you.
380
00:20:35,484 --> 00:20:36,819
It's all right.
381
00:20:38,738 --> 00:20:42,366
One day you're gonna wake up,
and you're not gonna recognize yourself.
382
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:52,668
Can you take her to Connecticut?
383
00:21:02,928 --> 00:21:07,308
I spent the next entire day sitting on
a park bench watching children play.
384
00:21:10,519 --> 00:21:13,439
If I had to, could I do this?
385
00:21:15,608 --> 00:21:17,234
Would I be any good?
386
00:21:19,153 --> 00:21:21,572
Would I somehow manage to stay me?
387
00:21:30,623 --> 00:21:33,417
Hello. Oh, my!
388
00:21:35,377 --> 00:21:36,879
Oh, sorry.
389
00:21:37,254 --> 00:21:39,799
That's okay. She's adorable.
390
00:21:39,882 --> 00:21:41,550
Yeah, most of the time.
391
00:21:41,801 --> 00:21:44,386
You wanna go home? Yeah, yeah.
392
00:21:44,470 --> 00:21:46,138
-Bye.
-Bye-bye.
393
00:21:47,473 --> 00:21:48,724
Bye!
394
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:53,729
On the way home...
395
00:21:54,438 --> 00:21:55,940
I got my period.
396
00:22:08,327 --> 00:22:12,373
