‫۳۰۷ - Drama Queens

2
00:00:47,763 --> 00:00:49,890
‫It happened two days ago.

3
00:00:50,065 --> 00:00:54,399
‫Aidan and I had been seeing each other
‫for three weeks when...

4
00:00:55,571 --> 00:01:00,167
‫- What is it؟ Bad dream؟
‫- I'm not sure.

5
00:01:01,910 --> 00:01:05,778
‫- What's wrong؟
‫- I don't know.

6
00:01:07,316 --> 00:01:09,375
‫The truth was I really didn't.

7
00:01:11,153 --> 00:01:13,781
‫The next day
‫I searched for unpaid bills,

8
00:01:13,956 --> 00:01:16,254
‫unanswered calls, unmet deadlines.

9
00:01:16,425 --> 00:01:19,861
‫But I hadn't so much as missed
‫a teeth cleaning.

10
00:01:20,028 --> 00:01:22,963
‫My life appeared to be in order.

11
00:01:23,832 --> 00:01:26,392
‫But the next night, like clockwork...

12
00:01:29,805 --> 00:01:33,138
‫I realized I was in an existential crisis.

13
00:01:33,275 --> 00:01:36,972
‫one that not even the sight of this
‫season's Dolce & Gabbana sandals

14
00:01:37,112 --> 00:01:38,807
‫could lift me out of.

15
00:01:46,321 --> 00:01:48,789
‫Do you wanna spend the night؟

16
00:01:49,925 --> 00:01:53,759
‫- I'm gonna get some water.
‫- Relax. I'll get it.

17
00:02:04,907 --> 00:02:06,636
‫Then I realized it.

18
00:02:06,775 --> 00:02:10,040
‫What was wrong was,
‫for the first time in my life,

19
00:02:10,245 --> 00:02:14,841
‫I was in a relationship
‫where absolutely nothing was wrong.

20
00:02:18,820 --> 00:02:20,378
‫It's smooth sailing.

21
00:02:20,556 --> 00:02:23,024
‫Nothing but calm seas, blue horizons.

22
00:02:23,191 --> 00:02:25,318
‫See what I'm saying؟

23
00:02:25,494 --> 00:02:27,519
‫Absolutely. Not a cloud in sight.

24
00:02:27,696 --> 00:02:29,323
‫We adore each other.

25
00:02:29,498 --> 00:02:31,295
‫We have fun. We mesh.

26
00:02:31,466 --> 00:02:33,866
‫And this is a problem؟

27
00:02:34,036 --> 00:02:39,668
‫It feels odd.
‫I'm used to the hunt.

28
00:02:39,841 --> 00:02:44,835
‫This is... effortless.
‫It's freaking me out.

29
00:02:45,013 --> 00:02:48,449
‫I totally understand.
‫You're not getting the stomach flip.

30
00:02:48,617 --> 00:02:51,051
‫Which is just a fear of losing the guy.

31
00:02:51,253 --> 00:02:53,278
‫Maybe I'm not used to
‫being with someone

32
00:02:53,455 --> 00:02:56,754
‫who doesn't do the seductive
‫withholding dance.

33
00:02:56,925 --> 00:03:01,624
‫But there is an upside to being
‫with a guy with no surprises.

34
00:03:01,797 --> 00:03:05,426
‫Steve is completely predictable,
‫but that's what I love about him.

35
00:03:05,601 --> 00:03:08,161
‫He's so comfortable and safe.

36
00:03:08,337 --> 00:03:10,498
‫Are you dating a man or a mini-van؟

37
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,541
‫My new favorite thing to do
‫on a Saturday night is Steve's laundry

38
00:03:14,776 --> 00:03:16,607
‫and I've never been happier.

39
00:03:16,778 --> 00:03:19,941
‫Your relationship
‫is my greatest fear realized.

40
00:03:20,115 --> 00:03:23,346
‫I understand your dilemma
‫and from my experience,

41
00:03:23,485 --> 00:03:26,716
‫if he seems too good to be true,
‫he probably is.

42
00:03:26,888 --> 00:03:31,018
‫I don't believe this. Nowwe're
‫dumping guys for being too available.

43
00:03:31,193 --> 00:03:35,755
‫This is all solid proof of what
‫I've read in this great new book.

44
00:03:35,931 --> 00:03:38,365
‫It says if you
‫really wanna get married,

45
00:03:38,533 --> 00:03:42,162
‫you shouldn't spend so much time
‫around dysfunctional single women.

46
00:03:42,337 --> 00:03:43,895
‫"Marriage Incorporated:

47
00:03:44,106 --> 00:03:49,066
‫"Howto apply successful business
‫strategies to finding a husband".

48
00:03:49,244 --> 00:03:54,079
‫chapter one:
‫"How To Get Ahead By Giving Head".

49
00:03:54,249 --> 00:03:58,049
‫Fine! Make fun.
‫It's a very smart book.

50
00:03:58,220 --> 00:04:01,712
‫It encourages professional women
‫to approach finding a mate

51
00:04:01,890 --> 00:04:06,122
‫with the dedication and organization
‫they bring to their careers.

52
00:04:06,294 --> 00:04:08,319
‫I'm more a student of chaos theory.

53
00:04:08,497 --> 00:04:12,331
‫If you don't see as much of me,
‫I'm with my married friends.

54
00:04:12,501 --> 00:04:15,993
‫And howwill this help you
‫meet your mate؟

55
00:04:16,171 --> 00:04:21,609
‫Bachelor friends of married men are
‫the city's greatest untapped resource.

56
00:04:21,777 --> 00:04:24,268
‫The way to meet them
‫is through the husbands.

57
00:04:24,446 --> 00:04:28,610
‫So my first assignment is to befriend
‫the husbands. It's my new job.

58
00:04:28,784 --> 00:04:33,312
‫That evening, as charlotte began
‫her new career as a husband-hunter,

59
00:04:33,488 --> 00:04:37,481
‫Miranda returned home to feather
‫her stress-free love nest.

60
00:04:37,659 --> 00:04:42,961
‫- I heated up some leftover lasagne.
‫- Great. I'm starving.

61
00:04:43,131 --> 00:04:46,794
‫- Wanna get some plates؟
‫- What for؟ It's just us.

62
00:04:47,569 --> 00:04:50,060
‫An hour later it was on to dessert.

63
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,269
‫Followed by exactly eight minutes
‫of no-frills sex.

64
00:04:56,344 --> 00:04:59,313
‫And ۱۲ minutes of "Front Line".

65
00:05:04,286 --> 00:05:09,690
‫Theirs was the kind of closeness
‫that only came from true intimacy.

66
00:05:15,363 --> 00:05:21,131
‫Samantha was experiencing intimacy
‫that only came from anonymity.

67
00:05:21,303 --> 00:05:23,328
‫His name was Dr. Mark Raskin.

68
00:05:23,505 --> 00:05:25,803
‫An ear, nose and throat man
‫that Samantha met...

69
00:05:25,974 --> 00:05:29,808
‫actually we're not sure where.
‫Suffice to say it happened quickly.

70
00:05:29,978 --> 00:05:32,105
‫Will you get me some water, please؟

71
00:05:32,280 --> 00:05:35,716
‫- What for؟
‫- I want to take a hit of viagra.

72
00:05:38,286 --> 00:05:41,016
‫- Number one
‫that's very presumptuous of you.

73
00:05:41,223 --> 00:05:42,815
‫- And number two

74
00:05:42,991 --> 00:05:46,688
‫from what I can tell, you don't need
‫any help in that area whatsoever.

75
00:05:46,862 --> 00:05:50,354
‫I don't need it.
‫I just take it recreationally.

76
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,363
‫What does it do for you؟

77
00:05:53,535 --> 00:05:57,699
‫Sends me on a rocket trip
‫right through your solar system.

78
00:06:01,176 --> 00:06:03,110
‫I'll be right back with that...

79
00:06:03,278 --> 00:06:04,404
‫water....

80
00:06:15,390 --> 00:06:18,587
‫While Samantha enjoyed
‫the thrill of the new

81
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:23,197
‫and Miranda's relationship
‫happily floated on a placid sea

82
00:06:23,365 --> 00:06:26,391
‫I was searching for hidden icebergs.

83
00:06:26,568 --> 00:06:28,331
‫Why are you still single؟

84
00:06:28,503 --> 00:06:30,664
‫- Why are you still single؟
‫- Don't do that.

85
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,603
‫I hate it when guys act all cute.

86
00:06:37,612 --> 00:06:40,206
‫- What؟
‫- Waiting for an apology.

87
00:06:40,382 --> 00:06:42,407
‫oK. I'm a bitch. I'm sorry.

88
00:06:42,584 --> 00:06:45,610
‫You should know I get a tad bitchy
‫from time to time.

89
00:06:45,787 --> 00:06:49,848
‫I'm sure you have your bad traits.
‫And they would be؟

90
00:06:50,025 --> 00:06:52,050
‫- Alphabetically؟
‫- Whatever you got.

91
00:06:52,227 --> 00:06:55,219
‫It's all gonna come out eventually,
‫so I'd like to know now

92
00:06:55,430 --> 00:06:58,092
‫and that way I can decide
‫if I'd like to deal with it or not.

93
00:06:58,333 --> 00:07:00,893
‫This is the strangest two blocks
‫I ever walked.

94
00:07:01,069 --> 00:07:06,507
‫Again I'm sorry, but this relationship
‫cannot just sail on like it is: perfect.

95
00:07:06,675 --> 00:07:08,905
‫Frankly, I can't take the pressure.

96
00:07:09,144 --> 00:07:11,806
‫oK. I'm gonna kiss you now.

97
00:07:16,852 --> 00:07:21,289
‫Seriously. What the hell is wrong
‫with you that you're not married؟

98
00:07:21,456 --> 00:07:24,323
‫- Tell me.
‫- can't you relax and go with the flow.

99
00:07:24,492 --> 00:07:28,588
‫Go with the flow؟ No, I can't do that.
‫It's so seventies.

100
00:07:28,763 --> 00:07:31,664
‫How long you think
‫this phase is gonna last؟

101
00:07:31,833 --> 00:07:36,497
‫My folks are coming this weekend
‫and I want you to meet them.

102
00:07:37,839 --> 00:07:40,808
‫- That's so...
‫- Fifties؟

103
00:07:43,111 --> 00:07:45,204
‫That is really nice.

104
00:07:47,515 --> 00:07:50,746
‫So, these parents
‫that are coming to town...

105
00:07:50,919 --> 00:07:54,252
‫do they know what's wrong with you؟

106
00:07:54,422 --> 00:07:57,152
‫Let's get you a doughnut.

107
00:07:59,060 --> 00:08:00,254
‫Nuts.

108
00:08:00,996 --> 00:08:04,659
‫The next evening, taking a page
‫from "Marriage Incorporated",

109
00:08:04,833 --> 00:08:08,997
‫charlotte had dinner with her
‫married friends, Amy and Dennis.

110
00:08:09,170 --> 00:08:11,604
‫Allow me to get right to the point.

111
00:08:11,773 --> 00:08:15,607
‫After careful consideration,
‫I've decided that I'm getting married.

112
00:08:15,777 --> 00:08:19,611
‫- charlotte, that's wonderful!
‫- Who's the lucky guy؟

113
00:08:19,781 --> 00:08:22,648
‫I don't know yet.
‫That's where you two come in.

114
00:08:22,817 --> 00:08:27,277
‫Dennis, name one great single friend
‫that you have to fix me up with.

115
00:08:27,455 --> 00:08:33,189
‫I don't know.
‫No one you'd like offhand.

116
00:08:33,361 --> 00:08:36,524
‫- What about Phil؟
‫- Phil, yeah.

117
00:08:36,698 --> 00:08:41,658
‫If he can tear himself away from his
‫internet company to go on a date.

118
00:08:41,870 --> 00:08:43,394
‫Yes! Phil.

119
00:08:43,571 --> 00:08:45,038
‫Phil, Phil, Phil.

120
00:08:45,206 --> 00:08:47,401
‫He is so nice and cute.

121
00:08:47,575 --> 00:08:50,874
‫- You think Phil's cute؟
‫- He's cute.

122
00:08:51,046 --> 00:08:52,377
‫I can see that.

123
00:08:52,580 --> 00:08:57,745
‫Great. Then it's all set up.
‫I'll call you tomorrowto follow up.

124
00:08:57,919 --> 00:09:00,979
‫Look! I have tickets
‫to the opera on Saturday night.

125
00:09:01,156 --> 00:09:04,216
‫- I would like to take Phil.
‫- Great.

126
00:09:08,964 --> 00:09:11,956
‫The next morning before work,
‫while sorting Steve's laundry,

127
00:09:12,167 --> 00:09:16,035
‫Miranda came face to face
‫with the true meaning of intimacy.

128
00:09:22,410 --> 00:09:24,037
‫I was wrong.

129
00:09:24,212 --> 00:09:27,272
‫There is a point where a couple
‫can get too comfortable.

130
00:09:27,449 --> 00:09:30,475
‫I reached it this morning
‫washing Steve's underwear.

131
00:09:30,685 --> 00:09:32,676
‫Why, what happened؟

132
00:09:32,854 --> 00:09:38,053
‫- I'm living with "skid marks" guy.
‫- oh, no! Terrible.

133
00:09:38,226 --> 00:09:42,219
‫I don't get it.
‫Why do men get skid marks؟

134
00:09:42,430 --> 00:09:45,092
‫Is it laziness؟
‫or are they just in a rush؟

135
00:09:45,300 --> 00:09:49,669
‫I don't know but it goes hand in hand
‫with urinating on the seat.

136
00:09:49,838 --> 00:09:52,739
‫I tell you one thing. When
‫your boyfriend is so comfortable

137
00:09:52,907 --> 00:09:57,207
‫he can't be bothered to wipe his ass,
‫that's the end of romance.

138
00:09:57,379 --> 00:09:59,813
‫It's certainly the end of laundry night.

139
00:10:00,015 --> 00:10:04,918
‫It got me thinking. Maybe I mistake
‫falling into a rut with intimacy.

140
00:10:05,086 --> 00:10:08,078
‫- How often are you having sex؟
‫- often enough.

141
00:10:08,256 --> 00:10:10,724
‫But it's totally generic.
‫We've got every move down pat.

142
00:10:10,892 --> 00:10:13,918
‫It's more like a race
‫to have an orgasm.

143
00:10:14,095 --> 00:10:18,225
‫- It's nice to be a contestant, isn't it؟
‫- Sure. I know what you mean.

144
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:22,530
‫We whine when we don't have
‫a boyfriend, we whine when we do.

145
00:10:22,704 --> 00:10:27,334
‫Do you remember how Big
‫kept me away from his mother؟

146
00:10:27,509 --> 00:10:30,444
‫- I remember.
‫- And how pissed it used to make me؟

147
00:10:30,612 --> 00:10:34,878
‫Now, Aidan's offering both his parents
‫on a silver platter

148
00:10:35,050 --> 00:10:37,575
‫and I'm not sure I want to meet them.

149
00:10:37,752 --> 00:10:39,743
‫Maybe it's too soon.

150
00:10:39,921 --> 00:10:42,947
‫I've never met Steve's mother
‫and I'm in no rush.

151
00:10:43,124 --> 00:10:47,322
‫The irony is Aidan's acting exactly
‫how I wish Big would have behaved.

152
00:10:47,495 --> 00:10:49,895
‫And I'm behaving just like Big.

153
00:10:50,065 --> 00:10:54,092
‫Maybe you don't believe it's for real
‫unless somebody plays hard to get.

154
00:10:54,269 --> 00:10:56,863
‫When things come too easy,
‫we're suspect.

155
00:10:57,038 --> 00:11:00,496
‫Do they have to get complicated
‫before we believe they're for real؟

156
00:11:00,675 --> 00:11:04,304
‫We're raised to believe that
‫true love never runs smoothly.

157
00:11:04,512 --> 00:11:06,878
‫There always have to be
‫obstacles in Act Two

158
00:11:07,048 --> 00:11:09,812
‫before you can live
‫happily ever after in Act Three.

159
00:11:09,984 --> 00:11:12,452
‫But what happens when
‫the obstacles aren't there؟

160
00:11:12,620 --> 00:11:15,282
‫Does that mean
‫there's something missing؟

161
00:11:15,457 --> 00:11:18,654
‫Do we need drama
‫to make a relationship work؟

162
00:11:18,827 --> 00:11:22,228
‫A few days later, still hearing no word
‫from Dennis about her date

163
00:11:22,397 --> 00:11:25,025
‫charlotte made a call to his office.

164
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,636
‫charlotte Yorke.
‫He can reach me at home or at work

165
00:11:28,803 --> 00:11:33,331
‫and it's very important because I have
‫tickets to the opera on Saturday.

166
00:11:33,508 --> 00:11:36,375
‫Never mind, just have him call me.

167
00:11:36,544 --> 00:11:40,878
‫Her call unanswered,
‫charlotte followed up persistently.

168
00:11:41,049 --> 00:11:44,246
‫can you tell Dennis
‫that charlotte Yorke called؟

169
00:11:44,419 --> 00:11:47,411
‫Yes, he'll knowwhat it's regarding.

170
00:11:47,589 --> 00:11:50,183
‫It's regarding my future husband, Phil.

171
00:11:50,391 --> 00:11:52,882
‫oK؟ Thank you.

172
00:11:53,061 --> 00:11:55,188
‫Hi. You've reached
‫the office of Dennis Fincher.

173
00:11:55,363 --> 00:11:57,627
‫I'm either out of the office
‫or away from my desk.

174
00:11:57,799 --> 00:12:00,461
‫Please leave a message
‫at the sound of the tone.

175
00:12:00,635 --> 00:12:06,437
‫Well. obviously, you have some good
‫reason for keeping Phil and I apart.

176
00:12:06,608 --> 00:12:11,705
‫I can't imagine what it is
‫but this is Phil's loss and not mine

177
00:12:11,913 --> 00:12:14,609
‫and don't bother
‫returning this call either.

178
00:12:18,319 --> 00:12:22,153
‫While charlotte was a woman on
‫the verge of a nervous breakdown...

179
00:12:24,459 --> 00:12:28,623
‫my anxiety-free relationship...
‫was driving me crazy.

180
00:12:34,068 --> 00:12:36,036
‫Excuse me.

181
00:12:39,541 --> 00:12:43,272
‫- Sorry it's taking so long.
‫- That's all right.

182
00:12:43,444 --> 00:12:47,073
‫I'm gonna have to pass on dinner.
‫It's getting so late. I've got a deadline.

183
00:12:47,248 --> 00:12:49,011
‫oK. No problem.

184
00:12:49,184 --> 00:12:52,210
‫My parents get in tomorrow night.
‫They'll want to crash.

185
00:12:52,387 --> 00:12:57,415
‫But I thought you'd meet us
‫for breakfast the next day.

186
00:12:59,394 --> 00:13:04,388
‫I've been thinking
‫about this meeting your parents.

187
00:13:04,599 --> 00:13:09,093
‫- I just wondered if it's a good idea.
‫- They gonna love you.

188
00:13:09,270 --> 00:13:13,798
‫No, I'm not worried about that.
‫Parents always think I'm adorable.

189
00:13:13,975 --> 00:13:16,739
‫- What's the problem؟
‫- Well...

190
00:13:16,911 --> 00:13:20,745
‫What if they love me...
‫and if we break up

191
00:13:20,915 --> 00:13:25,318
‫you'll always have to explain to them
‫what happened to the adorable girl.

192
00:13:25,486 --> 00:13:29,081
‫- Are you breaking up with me؟
‫- No.

193
00:13:31,092 --> 00:13:37,053
‫Where I come from,
‫meeting the parents... oh, so big!

194
00:13:37,232 --> 00:13:40,292
‫- You'll meet them some other time.
‫- oK.

195
00:13:40,468 --> 00:13:44,427
‫So, I guess we won't be seeing
‫each other this weekend.

196
00:13:46,574 --> 00:13:50,101
‫- I'll miss you.
‫- Maybe that's good.

197
00:13:50,278 --> 00:13:54,305
‫Maybe we should see each other less
‫then we can miss each other more.

198
00:13:56,451 --> 00:14:00,979
‫You're so available to me,
‫and I'm so available to you.

199
00:14:01,189 --> 00:14:04,420
‫Maybe we're both too...

200
00:14:06,427 --> 00:14:07,689
‫available....

201
00:14:07,862 --> 00:14:10,456
‫carrie, it's no big deal.
‫I have a life.

202
00:14:10,632 --> 00:14:12,623
‫I'm just making room for you.

203
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,826
‫You always say the right things.

204
00:14:18,873 --> 00:14:21,341
‫- Goodbye.
‫- Bye.

205
00:14:36,591 --> 00:14:40,118
‫This is nuts. I'm sabotaging
‫the best relationship I've ever had.

206
00:14:40,328 --> 00:14:45,356
‫It's better to have a man waiting
‫for you than the other way around.

207
00:14:45,533 --> 00:14:48,798
‫- I guess.
‫- And if you hadn't been available,

208
00:14:49,003 --> 00:14:52,200
‫I'd be here alone,
‫just some pathetic dateless freak.

209
00:14:52,373 --> 00:14:54,500
‫So glad it worked out for you.

210
00:14:54,676 --> 00:14:58,840
‫- Who are you calling؟
‫- I'm not taking this lying down.

211
00:15:01,215 --> 00:15:04,776
‫Hi. You've reached Amy and Dennis.
‫Leave it at the beep.

212
00:15:04,952 --> 00:15:10,049
‫Well, here I am at the opera
‫which I planned on going to with Phil,

213
00:15:10,224 --> 00:15:13,193
‫who I guess you've decided
‫I'm not good enough for.

214
00:15:13,361 --> 00:15:15,829
‫charlotte؟
‫It's Dennis.

215
00:15:15,997 --> 00:15:18,693
‫I'm so sorry.
‫I just got back from a business trip.

216
00:15:18,866 --> 00:15:21,630
‫My secretary gave me
‫all your messages.

217
00:15:21,803 --> 00:15:24,670
‫I had no idea
‫you wanted to meet Phil so badly.

218
00:15:24,839 --> 00:15:28,206
‫Well, he sounded nice.
‫It's not a big deal.

219
00:15:28,376 --> 00:15:32,608
‫Why don't I set something up
‫tomorrow evening؟ ۷.:۳۰؟

220
00:15:33,047 --> 00:15:35,675
‫- You know Rudy's, Midtown؟
‫- I love that place.

221
00:15:35,850 --> 00:15:41,288
‫Phil will meet you there.
‫I guarantee it.

222
00:15:43,491 --> 00:15:49,088
‫I'm so silly. I created all that drama
‫in my head for nothing.

223
00:15:49,263 --> 00:15:51,629
‫- What are we seeing again؟
‫- "Aida. "

224
00:16:01,175 --> 00:16:06,670
‫- I guess I'm in for another wild ride.
‫- I'd say we both are.

225
00:16:08,383 --> 00:16:12,513
‫What would happen
‫if I tried one of these؟

226
00:16:12,687 --> 00:16:16,282
‫I don't think they've established
‫that it works for women.

227
00:16:16,457 --> 00:16:19,324
‫There's no harm in trying is there,
‫doctor؟

228
00:16:21,262 --> 00:16:23,287
‫Bottoms up!

229
00:16:28,870 --> 00:16:30,701
‫۲۰ minutes later,

230
00:16:30,872 --> 00:16:35,036
‫Samantha officially became
‫the first woman to land on the moon.

231
00:16:49,724 --> 00:16:53,956
‫- Isn't the opera romantic؟
‫- Even more so with a man.

232
00:16:54,128 --> 00:16:56,255
‫Well, I did expect to be taking Phil.

233
00:16:56,431 --> 00:16:59,696
‫It's quite a lovely evening you planned
‫for a man you've never even met.

234
00:16:59,934 --> 00:17:01,959
‫He sounded really nice.

235
00:17:02,136 --> 00:17:04,468
‫- Here.
‫- Thanks.

236
00:17:44,178 --> 00:17:47,807
‫You knowwhat, honey,
‫I'm not feeling well. I'm going home.

237
00:17:47,982 --> 00:17:51,042
‫- Do you want me to come with you؟
‫- No, I'm fine. Stay, enjoy.

238
00:17:51,219 --> 00:17:53,380
‫It's all right. I'll call you.

239
00:17:58,559 --> 00:18:00,584
‫I'll be right back.

240
00:18:00,761 --> 00:18:03,161
‫I knew it was rude and over-dramatic,

241
00:18:03,364 --> 00:18:06,891
‫but I felt like I'd just seen
‫the phantom of the opera.

242
00:18:15,776 --> 00:18:18,643
‫Yes, ditching charlotte
‫was slightly hysterical,

243
00:18:18,813 --> 00:18:21,714
‫but the idea of sitting across
‫from Big and Natasha

244
00:18:21,949 --> 00:18:27,080
‫through the second act of "Aida"
‫was too emotional to bear.

245
00:18:30,358 --> 00:18:32,792
‫This time I knew what was wrong.

246
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,020
‫The shock of seeing Big again
‫not only made my stomach flip

247
00:18:36,197 --> 00:18:39,064
‫it sent my spleen leaping
‫right into my throat.

248
00:18:47,108 --> 00:18:51,044
‫- Hello.
‫- It's me. I'm really sorry.

249
00:18:51,245 --> 00:18:56,842
‫- What's wrong؟
‫- I saw Big tonight at the opera.

250
00:18:57,051 --> 00:19:00,578
‫- That's why you ditched charlotte.
‫- She told you. Was she pissed؟

251
00:19:00,755 --> 00:19:03,883
‫I think she's swearing
‫off women forever.

252
00:19:04,058 --> 00:19:08,757
‫- Are you oK؟
‫- Yeah. I'm great actually.

253
00:19:08,930 --> 00:19:13,026
‫I'm realizing that maybe there is
‫something to this available man thing.

254
00:19:14,335 --> 00:19:19,602
‫Yeah. It's kind of nice.
‫Just separate your whites.

255
00:19:19,774 --> 00:19:24,108
‫Now I know I wanna be with a man
‫who wants to be with me.

256
00:19:24,278 --> 00:19:26,872
‫I've had enough relationship drama
‫for one lifetime.

257
00:19:27,048 --> 00:19:29,175
‫Shouldn't you be telling this to Aidan؟

258
00:19:29,383 --> 00:19:33,820
‫It's ۳:۰۰ am.
‫I'll wait until a more civilized hour.

259
00:19:33,988 --> 00:19:37,981
‫The next morning I waited
‫until a decent hour to call Aidan

260
00:19:38,192 --> 00:19:41,252
‫and tell him how much I missed him.

261
00:19:41,429 --> 00:19:44,398
‫- Furniture company.
‫- Hi, it's carrie calling for Aidan.

262
00:19:44,565 --> 00:19:47,432
‫- He's not here right now.
‫- He's not؟

263
00:19:47,602 --> 00:19:51,129
‫- Just tell him I called.
‫- I'll give him the message.

264
00:19:51,305 --> 00:19:53,330
‫- Thanks.
‫- Bye.

265
00:19:58,913 --> 00:20:01,438
‫When I hadn't heard from him
‫by that evening

266
00:20:01,649 --> 00:20:04,447
‫I began to get butterflies
‫in my stomach.

267
00:20:06,821 --> 00:20:09,619
‫Hey, I'm not in but Pete is.

268
00:20:10,491 --> 00:20:13,324
‫Hey. It's carrie.
‫Remember me؟

269
00:20:13,494 --> 00:20:17,453
‫The girl you wanted to introduce
‫to your parents.

270
00:20:17,632 --> 00:20:20,032
‫I'm just calling to say hey.

271
00:20:21,469 --> 00:20:22,766
‫Hey.

272
00:20:25,673 --> 00:20:30,337
‫I was getting a dreaded feeling
‫that I had played this all wrong.

273
00:20:30,511 --> 00:20:34,948
‫Suddenly, the idea of losing Aidan
‫left me short of breath.

274
00:20:37,618 --> 00:20:42,385
‫Meanwhile, Miranda was trying not
‫to breathe near Steve's shorts.

275
00:20:46,994 --> 00:20:49,258
‫What are you doing؟

276
00:20:49,463 --> 00:20:53,024
‫I thought you might need some help
‫with the wash.

277
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,294
‫But there's nothing like a twist
‫in the third act

278
00:20:56,470 --> 00:20:59,200
‫to spice up even
‫the most banal scenario.

279
00:21:01,275 --> 00:21:04,472
‫And while Miranda and Steve
‫found new life in the familiar,

280
00:21:04,645 --> 00:21:09,241
‫charlotte was blindly feeling
‫her way through the unfamiliar.

281
00:21:11,686 --> 00:21:15,122
‫Excuse me.
‫Are you Phil؟

282
00:21:15,289 --> 00:21:16,722
‫Sorry.

283
00:21:20,061 --> 00:21:24,555
‫- Are you Phil؟
‫- I could be.

284
00:21:24,732 --> 00:21:27,758
‫- Hi.
‫- Well, hello.

285
00:21:27,935 --> 00:21:31,132
‫- Are you here to chaperone؟
‫- Yes, sort of.

286
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:36,066
‫What's wrong؟
‫You couldn't trust me alone with Phil؟

287
00:21:36,243 --> 00:21:39,838
‫charlotte, Phil's not coming...
‫I never called Phil.

288
00:21:40,014 --> 00:21:43,882
‫I didn't want you to meet him. You'd
‫like him and that could be a problem.

289
00:21:44,685 --> 00:21:48,815
‫- What are you talking about؟
‫- I'm in love with you, charlotte.

290
00:21:49,223 --> 00:21:52,386
‫- You can't be in love with me
‫you're married to my friend.

291
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:58,055
‫Things haven't been great with us,
‫and I can't stop thinking about you.

292
00:21:58,232 --> 00:22:00,826
‫- This is nuts.
‫- Don't leave.

293
00:22:01,001 --> 00:22:05,028
‫You kept your single friends
‫away from me so you could cheat؟

294
00:22:05,372 --> 00:22:09,240
‫- You should be ashamed of yourself.
‫- You're such a spark plug. I love that.

295
00:22:09,410 --> 00:22:12,311
‫I'm not interested
‫in starting some married man's car.

296
00:22:12,513 --> 00:22:15,448
‫Wait. Don't leave, please.
‫I love you!

297
00:22:16,884 --> 00:22:19,512
‫charlotte, please. I love you. Wait.

298
00:22:20,654 --> 00:22:24,886
‫- Taxi!
‫- What the hell؟

299
00:22:27,228 --> 00:22:29,128
‫Are you all right؟

300
00:22:29,730 --> 00:22:33,496
‫- Are you all right؟
‫- Yeah, thanks.

301
00:22:33,667 --> 00:22:36,568
‫- Let me help you.
‫- Thanks.

302
00:22:42,009 --> 00:22:45,137
‫- I'm Trey.
‫- charlotte.

303
00:22:46,147 --> 00:22:49,082
‫And that's how,
‫in the most dramatic fashion,

304
00:22:49,250 --> 00:22:51,844
‫charlotte met her new leading man.

305
00:23:01,228 --> 00:23:04,197
‫Well, time to pop
‫one of those baby blues.

306
00:23:04,365 --> 00:23:06,390
‫Let's go au naturel this time.

307
00:23:06,534 --> 00:23:11,233
‫No, I really want one.

308
00:23:11,372 --> 00:23:15,172
‫- Don't you think it's good without it؟
‫- No, I do not!

309
00:23:15,309 --> 00:23:17,334
‫Let's save it for those special times.

310
00:23:17,511 --> 00:23:20,241
‫Give me my pills, goddammit!

311
00:23:20,414 --> 00:23:25,716
‫Mark realized he had brought too
‫much intensity to their relationship.

312
00:23:25,886 --> 00:23:28,480
‫He wrote samantha a prescription

313
00:23:28,689 --> 00:23:31,351
‫and she promised
‫never to call him again.

314
00:23:33,260 --> 00:23:35,728
‫You have no messages.

315
00:23:36,697 --> 00:23:39,723
‫After two days
‫of not hearing from Aidan,

316
00:23:39,900 --> 00:23:43,893
‫I realized only a dramatic gesture
‫could salvage things.

317
00:23:52,346 --> 00:23:54,644
‫- You gonna...
‫- Hi, how are you؟

318
00:23:54,815 --> 00:23:56,908
‫You're gonna like this.

319
00:24:10,097 --> 00:24:11,928
‫What's going on؟

320
00:24:12,099 --> 00:24:15,660
‫You asked me to be here,
‫and I wasn't sure if I could.

321
00:24:16,704 --> 00:24:21,107
‫Honestly... I mean,
‫meeting the parents is so...

322
00:24:21,308 --> 00:24:25,677
‫Then I realized I wanna meet them but
‫I didn't know if you still wanted me to.

323
00:24:25,846 --> 00:24:30,510
‫I've called and you haven't called me,
‫so then I thought I'm just gonna go,

324
00:24:30,684 --> 00:24:37,146
‫because being in a relationship
‫means taking a risk... a leap of faith.

325
00:24:37,324 --> 00:24:42,057
‫No matter how many times one
‫might have been disappointed before.

326
00:24:42,229 --> 00:24:48,031
‫I said to myself I'm just gonna show
‫up... because you're a good man.

327
00:24:49,470 --> 00:24:52,200
‫A really good man.

328
00:24:54,875 --> 00:25:00,006
‫- Why haven't you called me back؟
‫- I was just trying to be less available.

329
00:25:01,649 --> 00:25:03,048
‫Really؟

330
00:25:06,453 --> 00:25:08,819
‫You don't have to do everything I say.

331
00:25:08,989 --> 00:25:14,086
‫Well, you're here now.
‫can I introduce you to my parents؟

332
00:25:14,261 --> 00:25:17,492
‫- Won't they think I'm nuts؟
‫- Probably.

333
00:25:17,665 --> 00:25:20,225
‫They'll just have to get used to that.

334
00:25:21,068 --> 00:25:22,899
‫come on, Nuts.

335
00:25:23,570 --> 00:25:27,233
‫I realized then, that I had made
‫my stomach flip all on my own.

336
00:25:29,443 --> 00:25:31,741
‫And it felt really nice.
