Deanne : So how
long have you known Nick?
Miranda : We've been riding the same elevator line for
years and then we had lunch a few weeks ago and then he
invited me here to dinner.
Woman1 : Well, we adore him.
Miranda : He's very smart.
Deanne : I guess he took our ultimatum seriously.
Woman1 : Deanne.
Miranda : What are you talking about?
Carrie : They told Miranda that Nick had this thing
for models.
Nick : OK. Old movie stars you'd have liked to fuck
when they were young. I'll start. Veronica Lake, the
year she made Sullivan's Travels. Dave?
Dave : I'd have to go with Sophia Loren. Probably. My
dad had a thing for
her.
Deanne : Montgomery Clift.
Man1 : Marilyn Monroe.
Woman1 : Bing Crosby.
Nick : Yvette?
Yvette : I don't know. Charlie Sheen?
Carrie : They'd come to dinner push their food around
and pout.
Nick : Veronica Lake.
Dave : Sophia Loren.
Deanne : Montgomery Clift.
Man1 : Marilyn Monroe.
Woman1 : Bing Crosby.
Nick : Marissa? She had to make a phone call.
Carrie : It got to be a problem. They decided to take
action.
Woman1 : Can't you find a woman who can carry on a decent
conversation?
Deanne : Yeah, Nick. And eat without purging.
Nick : What are you saying?
Deanne : You can't bring around any more of these
so-called models, Nick. It's too depressing.
Nick : Okay, okay. I'll see what I can do.
Woman1 : And then he brought you.
Deanne : So obviously not a model.
Woman1 : In a good way!
Miranda : Nick dates models?
Carrie : Miranda confronted him, and it didn't take
him long to fold.
Nick : It's true. It's true, okay? I'm obsessed.
Miranda : Obsessed with models.
Nick : Correct.
Miranda : So what am I? Your intellectual beard for
the evening?
Nick : Don't be pissed, all right? You gotta admit,
you met some nice people. You had a good time. Okay?
Carrie : You were on a date with a modelizer and you
didn't even know it?
Miranda : If men like Nick are dating models, what
chance do ordinary women have? I mean, do you have to be
a supermodel to get a date in New York?
Carrie : Modelizers are a particular breed. They're a
step beyond womanizers who will sleep with just about
anything in a skirt. Modelizers are obsessed not with
women, but with models who in most cities are safely
confined to billboards and magazines but in Manhattan,
actually run wild on the streets turning the city into a
virtual Model Country Safari where men can pet the
creatures in their natural habitat. As if we didn't have
enough problems.
Miranda : They're stupid and lazy and should be shot
on sight.
Samantha : I've been out with lots of guys and they
say I am just as beautiful as a model, but I work for a
living. I mean, I'm like, well--I'm like a model who's
taken the high road.
Miranda : The advantages given to models and to
beautiful women in general are so unfair, it makes me
puke.
Samantha : Sweetheart, you are so cute.
Miranda : Cute doesn't cut it in this town. What's
cute compared to supermodel?
Carrie : There's nothing like raising the subject of
models among four single women to
spice up an
otherwise dull Tuesday night.
Chalotte : They have this distant, sexy look.
Miranda : That's not sexy, it's starvation.
Samantha : That's starvation in the best restaurants.
