[theme music playing]
2
00:00:48,423 --> 00:00:51,093
[Carrie] New York City is all about sex.
3
00:00:51,343 --> 00:00:54,304
People getting it.
People trying to get it.
4
00:00:55,055 --> 00:00:56,557
And people who can't get it.
5
00:00:56,932 --> 00:01:00,394
No wonder the city never sleeps.
It's too busy trying to get laid.
6
00:01:00,477 --> 00:01:04,523
But if you ever actually do manage
to get someone in bed,
7
00:01:04,773 --> 00:01:06,108
the real fun begins.
8
00:01:06,191 --> 00:01:07,067
Mmm.
9
00:01:08,277 --> 00:01:11,071
-That's the kind with nuts in it.
-Mm-hmm
10
00:01:11,154 --> 00:01:13,282
-We love our nuts.
-Mm-hmm.

12
00:01:20,247 --> 00:01:22,332
[Carrie] After sleeping together
for many weeks,
13
00:01:22,416 --> 00:01:26,336
Mr. Big and I had gotten comfortable
enough to really sleep together.
14
00:01:31,758 --> 00:01:32,843
It was nice.
15
00:01:33,218 --> 00:01:35,846
It was the way
I'd always dreamed it could be.
16
00:01:36,388 --> 00:01:38,515
-Good morning.
-Morning.
17
00:01:46,148 --> 00:01:47,065
[farts]
18
00:01:48,817 --> 00:01:50,402
Was that you?
19
00:01:51,028 --> 00:01:54,031
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
20
00:01:54,114 --> 00:01:56,742
[chuckles] I think it might be worse
under there.
21
00:01:56,825 --> 00:01:59,745
[Carrie] Shut up. Shut up!
22
00:02:00,287 --> 00:02:02,164
[laughs hysterically]
23
00:02:03,123 --> 00:02:04,333
[Carrie] I hadn't dressed so quickly
24
00:02:04,416 --> 00:02:07,044
since the time I was caught
in the boy's dorm sophomore year.
25
00:02:07,127 --> 00:02:08,420
[Mr. Big] Wait.
Don't you want some coffee?
26
00:02:08,503 --> 00:02:10,881
Oh, gosh. I'm late for a thing.
27
00:02:12,507 --> 00:02:15,093
Oh, my God. I was mortified.
28
00:02:16,511 --> 00:02:18,263
I didn't call him the rest of the day.
29
00:02:18,347 --> 00:02:19,890
I tried to lose myself in work,
30
00:02:19,973 --> 00:02:22,184
but every time I stopped
for a second to think...
31
00:02:22,309 --> 00:02:23,226
[fart echoes]
32
00:02:23,310 --> 00:02:24,227
Oh, God.
33
00:02:24,311 --> 00:02:26,897
I'd relive my hell all over again.
34
00:02:28,315 --> 00:02:31,610
The next day, I realized
how childish I was behaving.
35
00:02:31,818 --> 00:02:35,405
I decided to stop avoiding the situation
and take the grown-up approach,
36
00:02:35,489 --> 00:02:36,907
complete and utter denial.
37
00:02:36,990 --> 00:02:39,660
Oh, so, I saw the Met is opening
a new Goya exhibit.
38
00:02:39,743 --> 00:02:41,161
Do you want to go this Saturday?
39
00:02:41,995 --> 00:02:42,954
Sure.
40
00:02:44,373 --> 00:02:46,750
Could you get me
some more duck sauce, please?
41
00:02:46,917 --> 00:02:48,377
I most certainly can.
42
00:02:50,462 --> 00:02:54,341
Oh, and then we have to stop and see
the Renoirs. I love the Renoirs.
43
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:55,634
Okay.
44
00:02:57,344 --> 00:03:00,389
-[Carrie farts]
-[laughs hysterically]
45
00:03:01,932 --> 00:03:03,725
[Carrie] There's a moment
in every relationship
46
00:03:03,809 --> 00:03:05,769
where romance gives way to reality.
47
00:03:08,313 --> 00:03:10,190
[slow instrumental music playing]
48
00:03:23,286 --> 00:03:25,455
You know... You know what?
49
00:03:25,539 --> 00:03:26,790
I'm exhausted.
50
00:03:28,333 --> 00:03:31,461
You mind if we just
call it a night? Okay?
51
00:03:32,045 --> 00:03:33,296
Sure.
52
00:03:34,881 --> 00:03:36,007
Good night.
53
00:03:36,883 --> 00:03:37,801
'Night.
54
00:03:40,512 --> 00:03:44,015
That was the first night
we slept together and didn't make love.
55
00:03:44,558 --> 00:03:47,894
By the middle of the next week,
it was three times in a row,
56
00:03:48,145 --> 00:03:49,396
and I was beginning to worry.
57
00:03:49,479 --> 00:03:51,440
Three times? Try three months.
58
00:03:51,523 --> 00:03:53,024
-No.
-Yes.
59
00:03:53,984 --> 00:03:57,320
Now would be a good time to wipe
that horrified look off your face.
60
00:03:57,404 --> 00:03:59,197
I'm sorry, sweetie. I'm sorry.
61
00:03:59,281 --> 00:04:01,783
I just... Wow, I didn't know.
Where have I been?
62
00:04:01,867 --> 00:04:03,410
You've been having sex.
63
00:04:03,660 --> 00:04:07,998
I've been at Blockbuster
renting videos. It's tragic.
64
00:04:08,081 --> 00:04:10,584
I'm like two rentals away
from a free pound of Gummy Bears.
65
00:04:10,667 --> 00:04:12,335
Oh, relax. You're just in a dry spell.
66
00:04:12,461 --> 00:04:14,337
I can't believe you said that.
67
00:04:14,421 --> 00:04:15,964
You're all freaked out
about three times.
68
00:04:16,047 --> 00:04:18,425
-I'm talking three months.
-Yeah, but that's different.
69
00:04:18,508 --> 00:04:20,010
Not doing it when you're with someone
70
00:04:20,093 --> 00:04:22,554
means much more than not doing it
when you're not with someone.
71
00:04:22,637 --> 00:04:24,139
What are you worried about?
72
00:04:24,222 --> 00:04:26,933
I thought you said everything felt
really comfortable and great.
73
00:04:27,017 --> 00:04:29,519
-Yeah, well, maybe too comfortable.
-What do you mean?
74
00:04:32,105 --> 00:04:33,356
I farted.
75
00:04:34,024 --> 00:04:36,610
I farted in front of my boyfriend.
76
00:04:36,985 --> 00:04:39,905
-And?
-And we're no longer having sex.
77
00:04:39,988 --> 00:04:42,574
And he thinks of me as one of the boys.
78
00:04:42,657 --> 00:04:44,993
And I'm gonna have to move
to another city
79
00:04:45,076 --> 00:04:48,330
where the shame of this won't follow me.
80
00:04:48,413 --> 00:04:50,081
You farted. You're human.
81
00:04:50,165 --> 00:04:52,125
I don't want him to know that.
82
00:04:52,209 --> 00:04:55,128
I mean, he's this perfect guy.
83
00:04:55,212 --> 00:04:58,089
You know, he walks around his
perfect apartment with his perfect suit.
84
00:04:58,173 --> 00:05:01,009
He's just perfect, perfect, perfect,
and I'm the girl who farts.
85
00:05:01,092 --> 00:05:03,887
-No wonder we're not having sex.
-You're insane!
86
00:05:03,970 --> 00:05:06,473
It's been three times.
It's perfectly normal.
87
00:05:06,556 --> 00:05:08,809
Says who? I mean...
88
00:05:09,851 --> 00:05:11,561
say it's not the...
89
00:05:11,645 --> 00:05:13,688
then what else is going on?
90
00:05:13,772 --> 00:05:16,233
I mean, is it normal to be
in the same bed and not do it?
91
00:05:16,650 --> 00:05:19,236
I guess it depends
on what's normal for you.
92
00:05:19,402 --> 00:05:20,904
Oh, God. I hate that.
93
00:05:21,321 --> 00:05:22,948
Who am I to know what's normal?
94
00:05:23,782 --> 00:05:25,700
I haven't dated in a hundred years.
I don't have a clue.
95
00:05:25,784 --> 00:05:28,912
Well, three months is not normal for me.
96
00:05:29,538 --> 00:05:32,415
One month was interesting.
Two months was numbing.
97
00:05:32,499 --> 00:05:35,752
Three months, I am going out of my mind.
98
00:05:36,211 --> 00:05:39,256
[Carrie] There are 1.3 million
single men in New York,
99
00:05:39,339 --> 00:05:41,383
1.8 million single women.
100
00:05:41,466 --> 00:05:44,177
And of these more than
three million people,
101
00:05:44,469 --> 00:05:46,847
about 12 think
they're having enough sex.
102
00:05:47,639 --> 00:05:49,432
How often is normal?
103
00:05:49,808 --> 00:05:53,061
I have to masturbate three times
a day just to make it through.
104
00:05:53,144 --> 00:05:55,939
Some people take coffee breaks,
I take jerk-off breaks.
105
00:05:56,356 --> 00:06:00,110
They say the average 33-year-old woman
has sex 3.5 times a week.
106
00:06:00,193 --> 00:06:01,653
I'd like to know who that woman is.
107
00:06:01,736 --> 00:06:04,406
You know, my wife and I haven't had sex
since the baby was born.
108
00:06:05,323 --> 00:06:07,242
The baby's applying to Yale next fall.
109
00:06:08,535 --> 00:06:11,288
Once... One time a day...
110
00:06:11,746 --> 00:06:14,416
but two time on very special day.
111
00:06:15,375 --> 00:06:19,796
Normal is the halfway point between
what you want and what you can get.
112
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,632
[Carrie] Even in the plow position,
I could count on Samantha
113
00:06:22,716 --> 00:06:24,843
for amazing sexual clarity.
114
00:06:24,926 --> 00:06:27,387
Very good.
Let's move on to downward facing dog.
115
00:06:27,596 --> 00:06:28,763
Woof.
116
00:06:28,889 --> 00:06:32,976
With him, I could do it
every hour on the hour.
117
00:06:33,727 --> 00:06:36,813
Do you think it means something
if Big and I are sleeping together,
118
00:06:37,439 --> 00:06:38,815
but we're not sleeping together?
119
00:06:38,899 --> 00:06:41,526
-The truth?
-And when have I ever wanted that?
120
00:06:41,985 --> 00:06:43,028
Yeah, okay, tell me.
121
00:06:43,111 --> 00:06:44,821
I think there's trouble. I mean...
122
00:06:44,905 --> 00:06:47,657
sex is a barometer for what's
going on in the relationship.
123
00:06:49,034 --> 00:06:50,952
Well, I wasn't going
to tell you this, but...
124
00:06:53,747 --> 00:06:54,748
I farted.
125
00:06:55,457 --> 00:06:59,794
-Then move your mat away.
-Not now. I did it in front of Big.
126
00:07:00,420 --> 00:07:02,672
-Huge mistake.
-You think?
127
00:07:03,590 --> 00:07:05,842
It wasn't a choice.
I'm human. It happened.
128
00:07:05,926 --> 00:07:09,679
No, honey, you're a woman.
And men don't like women to be human.
129
00:07:09,763 --> 00:07:11,765
We aren't supposed to fart, douche,
130
00:07:11,848 --> 00:07:14,184
use tampons or have hair
in places we shouldn't.
131
00:07:14,267 --> 00:07:18,021
I mean, hell, a guy once broke up
with me because I missed a bikini wax.
132
00:07:18,188 --> 00:07:19,105
I knew it.
133
00:07:19,606 --> 00:07:22,651
This is a watershed relationship moment
I'm never gonna be able to erase.
134
00:07:22,734 --> 00:07:23,777
Oh, sure you will.
135
00:07:23,860 --> 00:07:27,072
Just go over there and fuck his brains
out and he'll forget all about it.
136
00:07:27,322 --> 00:07:30,158
Men aren't that complicated.
They're kind of like plants.
137
00:07:30,241 --> 00:07:31,952
[Siddhartha] Concentrate.
Quiet your insides.
138
00:07:32,035 --> 00:07:33,036
Now he tells me.
139
00:07:33,119 --> 00:07:35,664
Roll over on your backs.
Take goddess pose.
140
00:07:37,332 --> 00:07:39,417
Let your breathing work with you.
141
00:07:40,460 --> 00:07:42,712
-In...
-[inhales]
142
00:07:42,796 --> 00:07:44,589
-And out...
-[exhales]
143
00:07:45,256 --> 00:07:46,174
In.
144
00:07:46,257 --> 00:07:47,467
[inhales]
145
00:07:48,259 --> 00:07:49,344
Out.
146
00:07:49,427 --> 00:07:50,595
[Samantha exhales]
147
00:07:52,013 --> 00:07:54,265
Would you like to go
for a coffee sometime?
148
00:07:54,349 --> 00:07:56,893
[Carrie] Forty-five minutes
and three animal positions later,
149
00:07:56,977 --> 00:07:59,396
Samantha and Siddhartha were sipping
green tea
150
00:07:59,479 --> 00:08:01,439
at a nearby health food restaurant.
151
00:08:01,523 --> 00:08:03,024
Tofu or not tofu.
152
00:08:03,108 --> 00:08:06,277
I always feel so amazing after yoga.
153
00:08:06,903 --> 00:08:11,241
My body feels so open, so alive,
so ready for anything.
154
00:08:11,783 --> 00:08:12,993
Samantha.
155
00:08:13,868 --> 00:08:14,869
Yes?
156
00:08:15,161 --> 00:08:16,121
I'm celibate.
157
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,833
I practice brahmacharya,
Tantric celibacy.
158
00:08:20,750 --> 00:08:22,335
I gave up sex three years ago.
159
00:08:22,544 --> 00:08:24,045
My God. Why?
160
00:08:24,587 --> 00:08:28,967
Or more importantly, why?
Didn't you like it?
161
00:08:29,050 --> 00:08:32,262
Oh, I loved it.
I'd have sex morning, noon and nights.
162
00:08:32,345 --> 00:08:34,764
Sometimes three women a day,
and I was always ready for more.
163
00:08:34,931 --> 00:08:37,308
-Now you're just being cruel.
-No.
164
00:08:38,018 --> 00:08:39,227
It was all ego.
165
00:08:39,769 --> 00:08:42,731
And where I am now
is so much better than sex.
166
00:08:42,814 --> 00:08:46,026
Oh, come on, honey.
Nothing's better than sex.
167
00:08:46,109 --> 00:08:47,986
Think about really good foreplay.
168
00:08:48,903 --> 00:08:51,614
Your sexual energy's
just starting to awaken.
169
00:08:52,282 --> 00:08:54,451
Now imagine a three-year foreplay
170
00:08:55,410 --> 00:08:59,205
where all that sexual energy
is coursing through your body,
171
00:08:59,497 --> 00:09:00,957
but it never gets released.
172
00:09:01,541 --> 00:09:03,835
It just recycles.
173
00:09:04,419 --> 00:09:07,130
Builds... Rises...
174
00:09:07,922 --> 00:09:13,428
Until your entire being is humming
with that electric sexual energy.
175
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,097
My apartment's just around the corner.
176
00:09:16,681 --> 00:09:20,518
The only thing hotter than sex
is not having sex.
177
00:09:20,977 --> 00:09:24,147
[Carrie] Amazingly, talking dirty
about not having sex
178
00:09:24,230 --> 00:09:28,777
was the most sexually deviant act
Samantha had participated in for months.
179
00:09:28,943 --> 00:09:30,987
The next night when
I met Charlotte for dinner,
180
00:09:31,071 --> 00:09:33,156
I had reached my own
transcendental state.
181
00:09:33,239 --> 00:09:35,241
Pure Mr. Big obsession.
182
00:09:35,825 --> 00:09:37,118
Okay, um...
183
00:09:37,702 --> 00:09:39,120
The first time he was tired.
184
00:09:39,496 --> 00:09:42,248
And the next two times, I...
185
00:09:43,625 --> 00:09:47,879
I don't know. I don't know.
It's bad, isn't it?
186
00:09:47,962 --> 00:09:50,548
Carrie, relax. There's nothing wrong
with your relationship.
187
00:09:50,799 --> 00:09:53,635
-Well, that's not all. I...
-What?
188
00:09:54,719 --> 00:09:56,971
[Carrie] I couldn't bring myself
to tell her.
189
00:09:57,222 --> 00:09:59,099
I was afraid she'd go
spontaneously deaf.
190
00:09:59,182 --> 00:10:01,768
I'm sorry. What were you saying?
191
00:10:02,352 --> 00:10:05,313
People put too much emphasis
on the importance of sex.
192
00:10:05,396 --> 00:10:07,816
It's not the most important thing
in a relationship.
193
00:10:07,899 --> 00:10:08,733
Right.
194
00:10:08,817 --> 00:10:10,610
[Charlotte] Take Kevin and I,
for example.
195
00:10:10,735 --> 00:10:13,113
We've been going out for weeks,
and we still haven't done it.
196
00:10:13,196 --> 00:10:16,324
I mean, we touch and cuddle,
197
00:10:16,658 --> 00:10:19,369
but he's sweet,
and he respects my boundaries.
198
00:10:19,661 --> 00:10:22,038
And I like it. It makes it special.
199
00:10:22,664 --> 00:10:24,040
Oh, there he is.
200
00:10:24,124 --> 00:10:25,416
[Carrie] Meeting
a friend's new boyfriend
201
00:10:25,500 --> 00:10:27,669
for the first time is always
a little tense.
202
00:10:27,752 --> 00:10:29,712
What if you don't like him?
What if he doesn't like you?
203
00:10:29,796 --> 00:10:31,756
Kevin, this is my good friend Carrie.
204
00:10:32,507 --> 00:10:34,259
-Hey, Carrie.
-Hi.
205
00:10:34,342 --> 00:10:35,969
[Carrie] What if you've
already slept with him?
206
00:10:37,053 --> 00:10:40,431
-You two know each other.
-Well, kind of.
207
00:10:40,557 --> 00:10:41,724
We used to go out.
208
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,311
Well, kind of used to go out.
209
00:10:45,937 --> 00:10:47,564
You two used to go out?
210
00:10:47,647 --> 00:10:48,731
-That's so funny.
-[pager beeping]
211
00:10:49,149 --> 00:10:51,067
-Isn't that funny?
-That's my office.
212
00:10:51,151 --> 00:10:53,069
I gotta take this. I'll be right back.
213
00:10:57,323 --> 00:10:58,449
Okay, when?
214
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,537
-Um, three years ago?
-Three years. I can live with that.
215
00:11:03,496 --> 00:11:04,414
Serious?
216
00:11:04,497 --> 00:11:07,083
-No.
-Good. Why'd you break up?
217
00:11:08,001 --> 00:11:09,919
You know, we were in different places
and I...
218
00:11:10,003 --> 00:11:13,339
Carrie, we don't have time
for diplomacy. Just tell me.
219
00:11:13,673 --> 00:11:14,883
He's a sex maniac.
220
00:11:22,015 --> 00:11:24,684
[Carrie] When Charlotte discovered that
Kevin had tucked his libido away
221
00:11:24,767 --> 00:11:28,605
for her comfort level, she was
even more moved by his restraint.
222
00:11:29,314 --> 00:11:31,983
I want you to know how much
I appreciate your patience.
223
00:11:33,443 --> 00:11:35,320
You've been so patient with me.
224
00:11:35,778 --> 00:11:37,447
Shows how much you really care.
225
00:11:38,364 --> 00:11:39,699
And all that waiting
226
00:11:40,283 --> 00:11:42,744
is gonna make it
all the more special for us now.
227
00:11:49,125 --> 00:11:51,711
There's only gonna be one stop. Thanks.
228
00:11:56,925 --> 00:11:58,551
[both moan]
229
00:12:05,683 --> 00:12:06,976
[groans]
230
00:12:07,227 --> 00:12:08,937
I don't think this is gonna work.
231
00:12:10,021 --> 00:12:12,273
-Why? Is it me?
-[Kevin] No, you're great.
232
00:12:12,607 --> 00:12:14,442
I'm just not that sexual a guy.
233
00:12:16,402 --> 00:12:18,488
It's me. I know it's me.
234
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,659
Look, Carrie told me
that you were quite sexual.
235
00:12:22,742 --> 00:12:26,162
In fact, I believe
she used the word "maniac."
236
00:12:26,704 --> 00:12:27,830
That was before.
237
00:12:29,582 --> 00:12:31,668
-Before what?
-Prozac.
238
00:12:32,293 --> 00:12:35,171
-Prozac.
-Yeah. I used to be such a mess.
239
00:12:35,255 --> 00:12:38,341
Mr. Mood Swing. It's a total lifesaver.
240
00:12:38,633 --> 00:12:41,511
The only downside is,
is it takes the air out of my tires.
241
00:12:41,844 --> 00:12:44,722
After a while,
it's kind of like a taffy pull.
242
00:12:44,806 --> 00:12:46,057
[chuckles]
243
00:12:46,307 --> 00:12:48,726
It's okay. Don't worry about it.
244
00:12:49,686 --> 00:12:52,772
I don't. I mean,
I wish I could say I felt worse, but...
245
00:12:52,855 --> 00:12:56,025
To tell you the truth,
these days, nothing gets me down.
246
00:12:56,734 --> 00:12:58,027
You want to watch a movie?
247
00:13:02,991 --> 00:13:04,867
[Carrie] Terrified of going to Mr. Big's
248
00:13:04,951 --> 00:13:07,537
for what could become
another platonic sleepover,
249
00:13:07,620 --> 00:13:11,291
I paced my apartment and tried not
to think about our lack of sex when...
250
00:13:13,459 --> 00:13:15,378
There they were, my new neighbors,
251
00:13:15,461 --> 00:13:17,380
Mr. And Mrs. Get-it-on.
252
00:13:17,964 --> 00:13:21,676
A couple so obviously into each other
there was only one thing to do...
253
00:13:22,385 --> 00:13:23,469
watch.
254
00:13:27,724 --> 00:13:29,684
Then something wonderful happened.
255
00:13:29,976 --> 00:13:32,145
My desire overcame my fear.
256
00:13:32,437 --> 00:13:34,022
Hi, it's me.
257
00:13:34,314 --> 00:13:35,857
Is it okay if I come over?
258
00:13:36,691 --> 00:13:37,650
Okay.
259
00:13:38,276 --> 00:13:41,237
Meanwhile, across town at the corner
of Nirvana and West Third,
260
00:13:41,321 --> 00:13:44,741
Siddhartha was helping Samantha
along her newfound path.
261
00:13:44,991 --> 00:13:47,660
"Blocks are connection to our inner life
262
00:13:47,744 --> 00:13:49,287
and true identities."
263
00:13:49,954 --> 00:13:52,248
-You're hard.
-I know.
264
00:13:52,957 --> 00:13:54,792
"Our addictions and attachments
265
00:13:54,959 --> 00:13:56,919
are a way to block our spiritual hunger
266
00:13:57,712 --> 00:14:00,089
through unhealthy and dependent ways."
267
00:14:00,173 --> 00:14:02,467
-You're still hard.
-It'll go down.
268
00:14:02,842 --> 00:14:04,218
So can I.
269
00:14:13,311 --> 00:14:16,647
[Carrie] I showed up at his apartment
feeling sexy and confident.
270
00:14:16,731 --> 00:14:19,525
Wearing my secret-weapon skirt
that really hugged my hips,
271
00:14:19,817 --> 00:14:20,777
I was ready to go.
272
00:14:20,860 --> 00:14:22,070
He didn't have a prayer.
273
00:14:26,699 --> 00:14:29,243
Very nice. Come on in.
I'm watching the fight.
274
00:14:29,911 --> 00:14:31,579
[sports announcer speaking
on TV indistinctly]
275
00:14:37,502 --> 00:14:38,503
Baby.
276
00:14:47,678 --> 00:14:51,057
Carrie, come on. Let me watch this.
277
00:14:55,603 --> 00:14:56,854
Oh, man!
278
00:15:00,775 --> 00:15:02,360
Jesus, Carrie! Come on!
279
00:15:02,443 --> 00:15:05,405
Would you knock it the fuck off?
I'm trying to watch this fight.
280
00:15:05,488 --> 00:15:06,989
Fine. I'll leave.
281
00:15:07,073 --> 00:15:09,992
What is wrong with you?
Why are you acting so nuts?
282
00:15:10,076 --> 00:15:11,411
Well, maybe I'm not perfect.
283
00:15:11,494 --> 00:15:14,038
Maybe I don't fit
into your perfect, you know, life
284
00:15:14,122 --> 00:15:16,999
with your perfect apartment
and your perfect pay-per-view fight.
285
00:15:17,083 --> 00:15:18,251
Maybe I should leave.
286
00:15:21,295 --> 00:15:23,339
I stood there and waited
for the obligatory
287
00:15:23,423 --> 00:15:25,675
he's-coming-to-stop-me ten seconds.
288
00:15:26,217 --> 00:15:27,135
He didn't.
289
00:15:28,469 --> 00:15:32,014
By the time I got home, I was sure
he'd left an apology on my voice mail.
290
00:15:32,098 --> 00:15:34,892
[automated voice speaking] You have
no new messages in your mailbox.
291
00:15:35,017 --> 00:15:36,936
[Carrie] I didn't sleep
very well that night,
292
00:15:37,562 --> 00:15:39,021
but I wasn't the only one.
293
00:15:40,022 --> 00:15:43,151
After a night of spiritual reading
with her hunky guru,
294
00:15:43,234 --> 00:15:47,280
Samantha began to feel things
she hadn't felt in a very long time,
295
00:15:47,363 --> 00:15:49,198
frustrated and horny.
296
00:15:49,282 --> 00:15:51,742
She decided it was time
to put an end to her suffering.
297
00:15:51,826 --> 00:15:55,455
But just as she reached the place
Krishna once called the gateway to life,
298
00:15:55,746 --> 00:15:57,999
she turned back
and decided not to enter.
299
00:15:58,749 --> 00:16:00,501
After all, she'd come this far.
300
00:16:00,585 --> 00:16:02,587
She could continue not to come at all.
301
00:16:04,255 --> 00:16:06,424
In an effort to get her mind off sex,
302
00:16:06,507 --> 00:16:09,427
Miranda had rented
a five-hour Danish documentary
303
00:16:09,510 --> 00:16:10,970
on the Nuremberg trial.
304
00:16:11,262 --> 00:16:12,680
It actually worked until...
305
00:16:12,763 --> 00:16:13,806
Hey, gorgeous!
306
00:16:14,265 --> 00:16:15,975
Why don't you quick drop this?
307
00:16:16,976 --> 00:16:18,478
Hey, she's thinking about it.
308
00:16:19,353 --> 00:16:20,813
Where you going so fast?
309
00:16:21,063 --> 00:16:24,233
I got what you want,
I got what you need.
310
00:16:24,484 --> 00:16:27,528
[Carrie] Like every woman consumed
with a relationship problem,
311
00:16:27,820 --> 00:16:30,490
I needed a project
to keep my mind from obsessing
312
00:16:30,573 --> 00:16:32,492
and my hands from dialing his number.
313
00:16:32,575 --> 00:16:33,743
[doorbell buzzes]
314
00:16:36,996 --> 00:16:39,081
Three months and one week.
315
00:16:39,457 --> 00:16:42,043
[Carrie] Miranda needed to keep
her hands busy as well.
316
00:16:42,627 --> 00:16:44,462
-Did he call?
-[Carrie] Nope.
317
00:16:45,296 --> 00:16:46,881
And it's been two days.
318
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,801
Nice color. Ecru?
319
00:16:51,302 --> 00:16:52,220
[Carrie] Eggshell.
320
00:16:54,138 --> 00:16:57,225
Well, I think it's over.
321
00:16:58,226 --> 00:16:59,644
I should never have farted.
322
00:16:59,810 --> 00:17:02,438
Jesus, Carrie! That's it.
I've heard enough about the fart.
323
00:17:02,522 --> 00:17:06,025
-It's not the fucking fart.
-I know it's not the fucking fart.
324
00:17:06,692 --> 00:17:08,444
I just... I think I'm in love with him
325
00:17:08,528 --> 00:17:11,739
and I'm terrified that's he's gonna
leave me because I'm not perfect.
326
00:17:12,657 --> 00:17:13,783
All right.
327
00:17:14,158 --> 00:17:17,703
Let's just put the roller down
and go in the other room and talk, huh?
328
00:17:18,579 --> 00:17:20,706
Sex has stopped. He hasn't called.
329
00:17:21,415 --> 00:17:23,501
What if he never calls
and three weeks from now
330
00:17:23,584 --> 00:17:26,087
I pick up The New York Times
and I read that he's married
331
00:17:26,170 --> 00:17:30,258
some perfect little woman who never
passes gas under his $500 sheets.
332
00:17:30,341 --> 00:17:32,134
When did you get so obsessed
with being perfect?
333
00:17:32,260 --> 00:17:34,679
I don't know. It's something about him.
I mean, you should see me around him.
334
00:17:34,762 --> 00:17:38,307
I'm not like me.
I'm like "together Carrie."
335
00:17:38,808 --> 00:17:43,062
You know, I wear little outfits...
"sexy Carrie," and "casual Carrie."
336
00:17:43,145 --> 00:17:46,816
Sometimes I catch myself
actually posing. It's exhausting.
337
00:17:46,899 --> 00:17:48,317
Well then, stop.
338
00:17:48,734 --> 00:17:51,028
Why don't you show him
more of this Carrie? She's pretty great.
339
00:17:51,112 --> 00:17:52,405
What if he doesn't like her?
340
00:17:54,198 --> 00:17:55,199
Miranda?
341
00:17:55,908 --> 00:17:57,201
Oh, my God!
342
00:17:58,744 --> 00:17:59,829
Look at them.
343
00:18:00,121 --> 00:18:01,080
[Carrie] Oh, wow!
344
00:18:01,581 --> 00:18:03,874
I had no idea
they did an afternoon show.
345
00:18:03,958 --> 00:18:06,544
When a show is good, word gets around.
346
00:18:06,627 --> 00:18:10,131
There we were, the '90s version
of matinee ladies.
347
00:18:10,464 --> 00:18:11,841
Who said the theater was dead.
348
00:18:11,924 --> 00:18:14,635
Samantha, I cannot believe
that you would give this up on purpose.
349
00:18:14,719 --> 00:18:17,680
-[Samantha] Actually, I hardly miss it.
-[Miranda] How long has it been?
350
00:18:17,763 --> 00:18:20,725
-A hundred years.
-It never goes down, does it?
351
00:18:20,808 --> 00:18:23,311
-[Charlotte] Look, it's still...
-Hard.
352
00:18:23,477 --> 00:18:25,896
-Yeah.
-Gummy Bear, please.
353
00:18:26,772 --> 00:18:28,190
[whimsical music playing]
354
00:18:29,108 --> 00:18:31,986
-Give me the fucking candy.
-Hey, snapping over Gummy Bears
355
00:18:32,069 --> 00:18:34,280
might be a sign
that celibacy's not for you.
356
00:18:34,363 --> 00:18:36,449
All I can say is that my big payoff
better be worth it.
357
00:18:36,532 --> 00:18:38,367
Samantha, I don't understand you.
358
00:18:38,451 --> 00:18:41,203
There are people starving out there
and you're fasting.
359
00:18:41,287 --> 00:18:43,414
Stop complaining. At least
you can take care of yourself.
360
00:18:43,497 --> 00:18:45,416
I'm way beyond that point.
361
00:18:45,499 --> 00:18:47,460
Besides, I think I've given myself
carpal tunnel.
362
00:18:47,543 --> 00:18:49,795
Sure, it's all fun until you
get to know each other.
363
00:18:52,798 --> 00:18:54,759
That move right there,
that's what they're famous for.
364
00:18:55,509 --> 00:18:58,888
It's been an hour.
How can that guy still be...
365
00:18:59,096 --> 00:19:00,264
[all] Hard.
366
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,142
[Charlotte] I have got to try this again
with Kevin.
367
00:19:03,225 --> 00:19:04,477
I mean, we really like each other.
368
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,812
That's got to be stronger
than a drug, right?
369
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:08,898
I'm warning you, ladies,
370
00:19:08,981 --> 00:19:12,485
if I make it to four months,
I'm humping one of you.
371
00:19:14,153 --> 00:19:15,363
[gasps]
372
00:19:15,446 --> 00:19:16,864
Oh, my God.
373
00:19:17,573 --> 00:19:18,783
I hate them.
374
00:19:18,866 --> 00:19:22,495
[Carrie] After the second show,
each of us went on with our Saturdays.
375
00:19:22,578 --> 00:19:25,581
Miranda went to get a movie
and another pound of Gummy Bears.
376
00:19:25,665 --> 00:19:27,750
[worker] Hey, it's my sweetheart!
377
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,503
You're looking good, baby.
Good enough to eat.
378
00:19:30,711 --> 00:19:33,506
Where are you goin', doll?
I got what you want.
379
00:19:33,839 --> 00:19:36,133
-I got what you need.
-You talking to me?
380
00:19:36,217 --> 00:19:38,219
We got a live one, boys.
381
00:19:38,844 --> 00:19:41,347
You got what I want?
You got what I need?
382
00:19:41,722 --> 00:19:45,017
Well, what I want is to get laid.
What I need is to get laid.
383
00:19:45,101 --> 00:19:48,562
-I need is to get laid.
-Take it easy, lady. I'm married.
384
00:19:48,896 --> 00:19:52,441
All talk and no action, huh?
What a oaf one!
385
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,444
Yeah, she's something else.
386
00:19:56,278 --> 00:19:58,989
[Carrie] Samantha decided to channel
her frustration at yoga.
387
00:19:59,073 --> 00:20:00,116
Good.
388
00:20:00,866 --> 00:20:03,786
Now release and breathe.
389
00:20:04,203 --> 00:20:07,915
Unless you're planning to move
those hands down, get them off me.
390
00:20:08,207 --> 00:20:10,209
Exhale and turn around into asana.
391
00:20:11,168 --> 00:20:15,131
[Carrie] She had reached the end
of her path and her patience.
392
00:20:15,214 --> 00:20:17,258
-[Siddhartha speaking indistinctly]
-Psst.
393
00:20:18,175 --> 00:20:19,427
[mouthing]
394
00:20:20,428 --> 00:20:22,680
[Siddhartha] Breathe.
Ease your lower back.
395
00:20:25,599 --> 00:20:27,351
[quietly] Wanna fuck?
396
00:20:27,935 --> 00:20:28,853
[mouthing]
397
00:20:30,354 --> 00:20:31,564
Wanna fuck?
398
00:20:32,398 --> 00:20:33,399
Yeah.
399
00:20:38,279 --> 00:20:40,239
[Carrie] Samantha spent
the rest of the afternoon
400
00:20:40,322 --> 00:20:42,116
having multiple yo-gasms.
401
00:20:43,534 --> 00:20:46,996
Later that night, Charlotte was
determined to prove she was stronger
402
00:20:47,079 --> 00:20:49,915
than selective serotonin
re-uptake inhibitors.
403
00:20:50,624 --> 00:20:52,042
Isn't your arm getting tired?
404
00:20:52,418 --> 00:20:54,545
No, I think it's starting to work.
405
00:20:54,962 --> 00:20:55,880
Charlotte.
406
00:20:56,672 --> 00:20:59,341
It's not, and I'm beginning to chafe.
407
00:21:00,217 --> 00:21:01,051
Oh.
408
00:21:03,512 --> 00:21:05,306
[sighs]
409
00:21:09,018 --> 00:21:11,145
-You okay?
-Yeah.
410
00:21:11,437 --> 00:21:14,231
I've just never been
in this situation before.
411
00:21:15,649 --> 00:21:17,109
Do you think you'll ever...
412
00:21:19,236 --> 00:21:21,947
-Never mind.
-What, think I'll ever go off it?
413
00:21:22,239 --> 00:21:23,908
-Yeah.
-Nope.
414
00:21:24,575 --> 00:21:25,826
Not even for me?
415
00:21:27,036 --> 00:21:28,078
Nope.
416
00:21:29,288 --> 00:21:32,750
Come on. Wouldn't you rather be
with a guy who's kind and giving
417
00:21:32,833 --> 00:21:34,752
and not that interested in sex,
418
00:21:34,835 --> 00:21:37,755
than an unstable, oversexed prick
who only wants to get laid?
419
00:21:42,843 --> 00:21:43,969
Nope.
420
00:21:44,220 --> 00:21:45,429
[Carrie] Once Charlotte realized
421
00:21:45,513 --> 00:21:47,473
she couldn't get what she thought
she didn't want,
422
00:21:47,556 --> 00:21:49,975
she couldn't imagine
going on without it.
423
00:21:51,602 --> 00:21:54,688
Saturday night's dinner came and went
with no call from Big.
424
00:21:55,105 --> 00:21:56,816
My life was suddenly shit,
425
00:21:56,982 --> 00:21:58,901
but my cabinets were looking fabulous.
426
00:21:58,984 --> 00:22:00,194
[doorbell buzzes]
427
00:22:01,695 --> 00:22:03,614
-Who is it?
-[Mr. Big] Me.
428
00:22:05,282 --> 00:22:06,408
[doorbell chiming]
429
00:22:09,995 --> 00:22:12,623
-Surprise.
-Yeah.
430
00:22:17,962 --> 00:22:19,046
Wow!
431
00:22:22,842 --> 00:22:25,719
-What's all this?
-I'm painting.
432
00:22:25,803 --> 00:22:27,096
I can see that.
433
00:22:28,222 --> 00:22:29,515
Why didn't you call?
434
00:22:31,308 --> 00:22:32,726
Why didn't you call?
435
00:22:37,189 --> 00:22:38,899
So this is where you live.
436
00:22:42,278 --> 00:22:44,113
About time you invited me up.
437
00:22:44,530 --> 00:22:45,948
I didn't invite you.
438
00:22:46,657 --> 00:22:47,867
I know.
439
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,919
It's nice. Very nice.
440
00:22:59,044 --> 00:23:00,546
No, it's not. It's a mess.
441
00:23:02,214 --> 00:23:04,341
The floors need to be stripped
and the curtains are...
442
00:23:06,176 --> 00:23:07,803
I want to change a lot of it.
443
00:23:09,388 --> 00:23:10,556
I don't know.
444
00:23:12,725 --> 00:23:13,642
I like it.
445
00:23:20,441 --> 00:23:21,734
I like it the way it is.
446
00:23:23,903 --> 00:23:25,738
What was that all about the other night?
447
00:23:26,697 --> 00:23:27,781
That was me...
448
00:23:29,158 --> 00:23:30,284
having a meltdown.
449
00:23:30,618 --> 00:23:31,619
Okay.
450
00:23:39,627 --> 00:23:40,961
Nice paint.
451
00:23:42,421 --> 00:23:44,340
-Eggshell?
-Yes.
452
00:23:44,882 --> 00:23:45,841
Mm-hmm.
453
00:23:51,847 --> 00:23:54,892
Did you know that there's a couple
humping outside of your window?
454
00:23:56,060 --> 00:23:58,520
Really? Oh, I never noticed.
455
00:23:59,647 --> 00:24:03,067
All I could think was
why aren't we having sex?
456
00:24:03,525 --> 00:24:06,236
Is this normal? What's wrong?
457
00:24:06,570 --> 00:24:07,863
Where are we going?
458
00:24:07,947 --> 00:24:08,948
Oh, hell.
459
00:24:10,950 --> 00:24:12,451
We can do better than that.
460
00:24:16,914 --> 00:24:18,999
And then he kissed me.
461
00:24:21,126 --> 00:24:25,172
Odd, how normal can sometimes
feel so uncomfortable.
462
00:24:31,887 --> 00:24:36,100
[theme music playing]
