Carrie : The
island of Manhattan is a cozy village populated by more
than seven million fascinating individuals who all
behave like they own the sidewalk. But lately it seemed
as if the entire city had been magically reduced to only
two people--us. Four-hour
conversations flew by in a space of 15 minutes and a few
days apart felt like weeks. I realize
that Einstein's Law of Relativity would have to be
amended to include a special set of rules--those to
explain the peculiar effects of infatuation. Hello?
Miranda : Hi. I'm trying to
get hold of a Miss
Carrie Bradshaw. She used to be a friend of mine.
Carrie : Good morning.
Miranda : Wait. I think I recognize that voice.
Carrie : I can't believe it's been so long. I've been,
I've been meaning to call you.
I've just been-
Miranda : Fucking your brains out?
Carrie : Yeah, well, that's the least of it. You know
what? I don't think that I have been hit this hard
since-now, you know what, I'm not gonna compare it to
anything, because everything else has always ended.
Miranda : So will I actually get to see you sometime?
Carrie : Yeah, absolutely. How about tonight?
Miranda : Yeah, tonight will work.
Carrie : All right, so I'll call Charlotte and
Samantha and see if they're free, 'cause Big's got this
dinner thing, so we know, we don't have any plans
anyway. You know--
Miranda : God, would you listen to yourself?
Carrie : Yeah, I know. I've become one of those women
we hate.
Miranda : Yes, you have. I can't talk now. I'll call
you later. Okay?
Carrie : All right. Bye. As I hung up, I realized I'd
committed the cardinal sin--I'd forsaken my girlfriends
for my new boyfriend. That night I faced the tribunal.
Miranda : We really weren't that concerned.
Samantha : Just completely hurt and offended.
Charlotte : Actually, you missed a lot.
Miranda : I know. I am trying it-
Carrie : Miranda had worked on a big successful
merger. Samantha was obsessed with the idea of a new
apartment. And Charlotte--Charlotte was practically
engaged. They met the day after I dropped off the edge of the earth.
His name was Michael Conway. He was from a good New York
family and he absolutely adored Charlotte.
Charlotte : I think this might be it. I think this
might be the one.
Samantha : We've met him. He's perfect.
