00:00:01,761 --> 00:00:40,761
‫۳۰۱ - Where there's smoke

2
00:00:46,762 --> 00:00:52,195
‫NewYork city. Home to one million
‫exciting, eligible, single men...

3
00:00:53,302 --> 00:00:56,601
‫and four cold and slightly cranky
‫single women.

4
00:00:56,772 --> 00:01:00,572
‫Well, this is good. We,re actually
‫crossing water to meet men.

5
00:01:00,709 --> 00:01:03,837
‫Reminder, I am not going
‫to staten Island to meet men.

6
00:01:03,979 --> 00:01:06,311
‫I am going to judge them.

7
00:01:06,482 --> 00:01:09,451
‫A perk of being a minor celebrity

8
00:01:09,618 --> 00:01:11,916
‫is that you get invited to major events.

9
00:01:12,088 --> 00:01:14,215
‫Like NewYork fire department's

10
00:01:14,356 --> 00:01:16,051
‫annual calendar competition.

11
00:01:16,192 --> 00:01:18,660
‫This is a long way to go to watch

12
00:01:18,794 --> 00:01:20,591
‫some firemen take their shirts off.

13
00:01:20,729 --> 00:01:23,857
‫I,m on the ferry.
‫I better see more than pecs.

14
00:01:23,999 --> 00:01:26,331
‫I,m freezing!

15
00:01:27,036 --> 00:01:28,663
‫I don't understand

16
00:01:28,804 --> 00:01:30,931
‫why they couldn,t hold the competition

17
00:01:31,073 --> 00:01:32,540
‫in a bar in Manhattan.

18
00:01:32,675 --> 00:01:34,302
‫They have firemen

19
00:01:34,443 --> 00:01:36,411
‫on the Upper East side too.

20
00:01:36,545 --> 00:01:39,378
‫And they only put out top-notch fires.

21
00:01:39,515 --> 00:01:41,949
‫Look at how small it looks.

22
00:01:42,885 --> 00:01:45,183
‫Who would have thought
‫an island that tiny

23
00:01:45,321 --> 00:01:48,552
‫would be big enough
‫to hold all our old boyfriends.

24
00:01:58,267 --> 00:02:02,203
‫He loves to cook
‫and can whip up a great baked ziti.

25
00:02:02,371 --> 00:02:06,137
‫He,s from engine ۲۷۵, ladder ۱۳۳,

26
00:02:06,275 --> 00:02:08,175
‫way out there in Queens.

27
00:02:23,058 --> 00:02:25,720
‫- Is he hot؟
‫- He's a six.

28
00:02:25,895 --> 00:02:28,420
‫on a scale of how many؟

29
00:02:28,564 --> 00:02:32,364
‫His name was Bill Kelley.
‫He was a divorced politician,

30
00:02:32,501 --> 00:02:35,299
‫campaigning for New York city
‫comptroller.

31
00:02:35,437 --> 00:02:37,234
‫And the token male judge.

32
00:02:40,376 --> 00:02:45,109
‫- Watch the firemen.
‫- I,m more into cops.

33
00:02:45,247 --> 00:02:49,946
‫He,s a dancer and married.
‫sorry, ladies.

34
00:02:50,119 --> 00:02:54,988
‫His wife Maria said he,s a good guy
‫but he works too hard.

35
00:02:55,124 --> 00:02:58,093
‫Work that belly!

36
00:03:02,464 --> 00:03:05,126
‫Ladies, over here.

37
00:03:06,335 --> 00:03:10,795
‫oK, they don,t make cosmopolitans,
‫it,s a staten Island iced tea.

38
00:03:10,973 --> 00:03:14,568
‫- Is that like a Long Island iced tea؟
‫- I think so.

39
00:03:16,145 --> 00:03:18,170
‫Hello, I,m drunk.

40
00:03:18,380 --> 00:03:20,848
‫Do we have to be this close؟
‫It,s embarrassing.

41
00:03:21,016 --> 00:03:24,816
‫- You gotta be in it to win it.
‫- I,m moving back.

42
00:03:24,987 --> 00:03:29,048
‫I can,t see the cute firemen
‫from back there without my glasses.

43
00:03:29,225 --> 00:03:31,625
‫Why do you even care؟
‫You have steve.

44
00:03:31,794 --> 00:03:36,857
‫I do not have steve. There is no
‫having of the steve, we,re just friends.

45
00:03:36,999 --> 00:03:39,433
‫We,re just friends.
‫I don,t put my dick in you.

46
00:03:39,602 --> 00:03:41,797
‫Another one of these
‫and I might let you.

47
00:03:43,005 --> 00:03:44,973
‫There are no datable men here.

48
00:03:45,140 --> 00:03:50,043
‫What was your first clue؟ The pleather
‫jackets or smell of... High Karate...؟

49
00:03:50,212 --> 00:03:52,737
‫Ladies, this is Ricky Fantucchi.
‫He,s a capricorn.

50
00:03:52,915 --> 00:03:54,940
‫His uncles are firefighters.

51
00:03:55,117 --> 00:03:58,518
‫Yes, ladies,
‫that,s a cheetah on his arm.

52
00:04:01,023 --> 00:04:06,689
‫Ricky represents engine ۵۳
‫in Lower Manhattan.

53
00:04:07,496 --> 00:04:11,296
‫I,d like to show him
‫my Lower Manhattan.

54
00:04:13,936 --> 00:04:17,667
‫- Look at his arms, they,re huge.
‫- You knowwhat they say.

55
00:04:17,873 --> 00:04:21,138
‫Big arms... big arms.

56
00:04:21,310 --> 00:04:25,110
‫Hello, ۹۱۱. I,m on fire.

57
00:04:40,796 --> 00:04:43,924
‫After the contest,
‫I began to realize that staten Island

58
00:04:44,099 --> 00:04:46,567
‫was like a quaint European country.

59
00:04:46,735 --> 00:04:49,033
‫The American music
‫was ۲۰ years behind

60
00:04:49,204 --> 00:04:51,832
‫and you could smoke
‫wherever you wanted.

61
00:05:13,529 --> 00:05:19,832
‫Hi. Are those shirts are for sale؟
‫I,d like to get one for my nephew.

62
00:05:19,902 --> 00:05:22,735
‫Yeah, you could buy,em.
‫But I don,t knowwhere.

63
00:05:22,905 --> 00:05:27,069
‫I got this one at work, but I,m sure you
‫could buy,em at other places.

64
00:05:27,276 --> 00:05:29,870
‫- I,ve seen them in those shops...
‫- samantha.

65
00:05:30,045 --> 00:05:33,503
‫- Ricky, how are you doing؟
‫- Good. How are you doing؟

66
00:05:33,682 --> 00:05:36,583
‫- I sawyou up there.
‫- I sawyou too.

67
00:05:36,752 --> 00:05:39,414
‫- You looked fantastic.
‫- Yeah؟

68
00:05:39,588 --> 00:05:42,682
‫I never did anything like that.
‫My sisters said... Do it, Ricky....

69
00:05:42,891 --> 00:05:45,917
‫And I said,
‫I never did anything like that before.......

70
00:05:46,095 --> 00:05:47,926
‫You did it very well.

71
00:05:49,865 --> 00:05:53,301
‫- I wonder what month you,ll be.
‫- Maybe october.

72
00:05:53,502 --> 00:05:57,768
‫- My birthday is in october.
‫- I bet July, or any month that,s hot.

73
00:05:59,508 --> 00:06:03,535
‫Two songs later, it was time for this
‫dancing queen to take a breather.

74
00:06:03,712 --> 00:06:06,340
‫Hello. Can I bum a smoke؟

75
00:06:06,515 --> 00:06:08,540
‫- sure.
‫- Thanks.

76
00:06:08,717 --> 00:06:10,742
‫There you go.

77
00:06:13,255 --> 00:06:17,282
‫- That,s good. I quit three years ago.
‫- How's that working out for you؟

78
00:06:17,459 --> 00:06:22,055
‫- Good. I allow myself one a week.
‫- You live right on the edge, don,t you؟

79
00:06:23,098 --> 00:06:25,328
‫- can I buy you a beer؟
‫- No, I got it.

80
00:06:25,501 --> 00:06:27,992
‫It's on me.
‫For helping me out in there.

81
00:06:28,170 --> 00:06:32,300
‫sure. And by the way,
‫you have the worst taste in men...

82
00:06:32,474 --> 00:06:35,341
‫-... ever.
‫- No way.

83
00:06:35,544 --> 00:06:38,069
‫You gave that guy from Midtown a ۷.

84
00:06:38,247 --> 00:06:41,614
‫I like a firefighter with love handles
‫to hold on to

85
00:06:41,750 --> 00:06:43,377
‫when escaping a burning building.

86
00:06:43,519 --> 00:06:46,716
‫- You got a point there.
‫- But you were tough.

87
00:06:46,889 --> 00:06:49,949
‫And what,s with the half-points؟
‫۶.۵, ۸.۵؟

88
00:06:50,192 --> 00:06:54,356
‫What can I say؟
‫sometimes a girl needs a half.

89
00:06:55,798 --> 00:06:59,495
‫so, which district do you vote in؟

90
00:06:59,668 --> 00:07:02,432
‫Whichever one is near Barneys.

91
00:07:02,604 --> 00:07:04,765
‫You,ve never voted
‫in New York city؟

92
00:07:04,907 --> 00:07:07,068
‫correct, Mr. President.

93
00:07:07,209 --> 00:07:09,973
‫What,s your address؟
‫official government purposes.

94
00:07:10,145 --> 00:07:13,581
‫- I can tell you your district.
‫- officially؟

95
00:07:13,749 --> 00:07:15,979
‫It's ۲۴۵ East ۷۳rd street.

96
00:07:16,151 --> 00:07:20,315
‫District ۲۳. Same as mine.
‫I'm at Madison and ۸۲nd.

97
00:07:20,522 --> 00:07:24,481
‫Fancy. I thought all honest politicians
‫lived in studios

98
00:07:24,626 --> 00:07:26,253
‫and ate beans out of a can.

99
00:07:26,395 --> 00:07:28,386
‫I'm not a fan of beans.

100
00:07:29,431 --> 00:07:32,923
‫can I get your phone number؟
‫Government purposes only.

101
00:07:33,101 --> 00:07:35,797
‫I,m just here with my friends
‫having a good time.

102
00:07:35,938 --> 00:07:39,897
‫- I,m not into dating right now.
‫- What, bad break-up؟

103
00:07:54,456 --> 00:07:57,152
‫That was a long silence.

104
00:07:57,326 --> 00:07:59,487
‫Actually, it was a silence and a half.

105
00:07:59,661 --> 00:08:01,686
‫HaVe dinner with me.

106
00:08:03,098 --> 00:08:05,862
‫Would it help if I took my shirt off؟

107
00:08:07,836 --> 00:08:10,270
‫Time to go.
‫Politician,s hitting on me.

108
00:08:10,439 --> 00:08:14,535
‫- And is that a bad thing؟
‫- He,s just way too... I,m the guy....

109
00:08:14,710 --> 00:08:16,940
‫Are you sure؟ He,s pretty cute.

110
00:08:17,145 --> 00:08:21,275
‫I don,t want to have to tell you this.
‫I saw him give someone a thumbs up.

111
00:08:21,450 --> 00:08:25,318
‫We,re out of here. samantha
‫went home with that firefighter.

112
00:08:25,487 --> 00:08:29,787
‫- Toot toot, beep beep.
‫- And charlotte,s around somewhere.

113
00:08:32,060 --> 00:08:35,860
‫- How many cocktails did she have؟
‫- A couple, why؟

114
00:09:10,399 --> 00:09:13,459
‫And so, three girls headed home,

115
00:09:13,635 --> 00:09:18,937
‫taking only fond memories of staten
‫Island and its infamous iced teas.

116
00:09:21,343 --> 00:09:23,675
‫Honey, close up, it,s cold.

117
00:09:27,082 --> 00:09:30,984
‫- Are you gonna help؟
‫- I held her head in the taxi.

118
00:09:34,957 --> 00:09:37,255
‫You,re so nice, carrie.

119
00:09:37,426 --> 00:09:40,327
‫- I,m nice too, aren,t I؟
‫- Yes, you,re nice.

120
00:09:40,495 --> 00:09:43,293
‫I'm nice...

121
00:09:43,465 --> 00:09:47,333
‫I'm pretty and I'm smart.
‫I'm a catch.

122
00:09:47,502 --> 00:09:49,367
‫Yes, you,re a catch.

123
00:09:49,538 --> 00:09:51,506
‫I hate you.

124
00:09:51,673 --> 00:09:57,509
‫You knowwhat؟ I,m gonna meet
‫the perfect guy and get married.

125
00:09:57,713 --> 00:10:00,113
‫Yes, you,re getting married.

126
00:10:01,917 --> 00:10:06,718
‫Did you hear that New York؟
‫I,m getting married this year.

127
00:10:06,888 --> 00:10:10,551
‫I,m getting married and here I come!

128
00:10:10,726 --> 00:10:13,422
‫If she falls oVer
‫I will neVer stop laughing.

129
00:10:13,595 --> 00:10:15,790
‫I wasn't quite sure
‫if it was the iced teas

130
00:10:15,964 --> 00:10:18,797
‫or the staten Island dating pool
‫that broke the camel,s back.

131
00:10:18,967 --> 00:10:21,333
‫But something set charlotte on fire.

132
00:10:21,803 --> 00:10:27,400
‫And uptown on dry land, samantha
‫and Mr. July had their own fire going.

133
00:10:27,576 --> 00:10:31,103
‫You,re so big and strong.

134
00:10:34,583 --> 00:10:38,781
‫I believe the official fire department
‫count is... a four alarmer....

135
00:10:39,755 --> 00:10:42,883
‫The next morning at breakfast,
‫Miranda and I wanted poached eggs,

136
00:10:43,091 --> 00:10:45,116
‫samantha wanted to give us
‫the details

137
00:10:45,260 --> 00:10:48,229
‫and charlotte wanted to keep
‫her head from exploding

138
00:10:48,363 --> 00:10:50,126
‫over her raincoat.

139
00:10:50,265 --> 00:10:52,665
‫I,m telling you,
‫no guy has ever gotten me that wet.

140
00:10:52,834 --> 00:10:55,701
‫- Pass the salt.
‫- Let me tell you about his cock.

141
00:10:55,871 --> 00:10:59,967
‫Will you be quiet؟ The people
‫at the next table have a child.

142
00:11:01,176 --> 00:11:03,701
‫- That,s their choice.
‫- Miss Hangover,s right.

143
00:11:03,879 --> 00:11:06,370
‫can we spare the cock talk
‫till cocktail time؟

144
00:11:06,548 --> 00:11:11,178
‫I wanted you to know my fireman was
‫every bit the fantasy I had in mind.

145
00:11:11,353 --> 00:11:12,377
‫New York's finest.

146
00:11:12,554 --> 00:11:14,749
‫- That,s cops.
‫- Whatever.

147
00:11:14,956 --> 00:11:18,585
‫I think it,s wrong to sleep with a man
‫just to fulfill a fantasy.

148
00:11:18,794 --> 00:11:21,524
‫All the men we sleep with
‫fulfill a certain fantasy.

149
00:11:21,730 --> 00:11:22,822
‫or nightmare.

150
00:11:22,998 --> 00:11:26,399
‫You fantasize of a man with a fancy
‫apartment and a stock portfolio.

151
00:11:26,601 --> 00:11:28,626
‫For me, it,s a fireman with a big hose.

152
00:11:28,804 --> 00:11:30,795
‫Why are firemen so cute؟

153
00:11:30,972 --> 00:11:34,408
‫Even when they,re not that cute...
‫they,re still cute.

154
00:11:34,576 --> 00:11:38,307
‫First, there,s a weight limit.
‫second, it,s the hero thing.

155
00:11:38,447 --> 00:11:41,075
‫- You see him on that truck...
‫- That truck is hot.

156
00:11:41,216 --> 00:11:43,582
‫hurrying to save someone trapped....

157
00:11:43,685 --> 00:11:47,883
‫They,ve got that
‫I,m a good guy... look in their eyes....

158
00:11:48,090 --> 00:11:50,752
‫It,s because women
‫want to be rescued.

159
00:11:50,959 --> 00:11:54,588
‫The sentence independent single
‫women in their thirties

160
00:11:54,763 --> 00:11:57,527
‫are never supposed to think,
‫let alone say out loud.

161
00:11:57,699 --> 00:12:02,898
‫It,s true. I,ve been dating since I was
‫۱۵, I,m exhausted. Where is he؟

162
00:12:03,071 --> 00:12:06,905
‫- Who؟ The white knight؟
‫- That only happens in fairytales.

163
00:12:07,075 --> 00:12:09,509
‫My hair hurts.

164
00:12:09,678 --> 00:12:12,738
‫Did you ever think
‫that maybe we,re the white knights

165
00:12:12,914 --> 00:12:15,815
‫and we,re the ones
‫that have to save ourselves؟

166
00:12:17,352 --> 00:12:21,311
‫- That is so depressing.
‫- Is it؟

167
00:12:22,057 --> 00:12:25,356
‫Later that day I got to thinking
‫about fairytales.

168
00:12:25,527 --> 00:12:28,587
‫What if Prince charming
‫had never showed up؟

169
00:12:28,764 --> 00:12:31,927
‫Would snowWhite have slept
‫in that glass coffin forever؟

170
00:12:32,134 --> 00:12:36,127
‫or would she have eventually woken
‫up, spit out the apple, gotten a job,

171
00:12:36,304 --> 00:12:40,240
‫a healthcare package and a baby
‫from her local sperm bank؟

172
00:12:40,408 --> 00:12:44,902
‫I couldn,t help but wonder. Inside
‫every confident, driven, single woman

173
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:49,642
‫is there a delicate, fragile princess
‫just waiting to be saved؟

174
00:12:49,818 --> 00:12:51,547
‫Was charlotte right؟

175
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,780
‫Do women just wanna be rescued؟

176
00:12:54,956 --> 00:12:58,585
‫And after your laser surgery
‫on saturday

177
00:12:58,727 --> 00:13:03,664
‫you,ll need a significant other
‫or a friend to help get you home.

178
00:13:03,799 --> 00:13:05,391
‫sign here.

179
00:13:05,567 --> 00:13:08,866
‫While for some women the idea
‫of rescue was a life raft,

180
00:13:09,004 --> 00:13:10,767
‫for Miranda it was an insult.

181
00:13:10,906 --> 00:13:13,932
‫I don,t need anybody to help me.
‫I,ll be fine.

182
00:13:14,075 --> 00:13:16,805
‫You,ll be sedated
‫and your vision will be blurred.

183
00:13:16,945 --> 00:13:20,540
‫You will need someone
‫to get you home and to bed.

184
00:13:20,715 --> 00:13:23,741
‫Then take two sleeping pills,
‫sleep for ۱۲ hours.

185
00:13:23,919 --> 00:13:26,786
‫Wake up and you,ll be able
‫to see perfectly.

186
00:13:26,955 --> 00:13:29,947
‫I can,t believe I,m gonna wake up
‫and see clearly

187
00:13:30,125 --> 00:13:33,288
‫without glasses or contacts
‫for the first time.

188
00:13:33,461 --> 00:13:35,520
‫BelieVe it.

189
00:13:36,331 --> 00:13:39,494
‫They slit your eyeball open
‫and flip up the top.

190
00:13:39,668 --> 00:13:43,502
‫- Gross.
‫- It just flips right up. Flip, my eye.

191
00:13:43,605 --> 00:13:47,371
‫- oK, stop.
‫- This little blade cuts it. Just...

192
00:13:48,944 --> 00:13:50,844
‫like the top of a grape....

193
00:13:52,814 --> 00:13:54,839
‫It sounds pretty bad.

194
00:13:56,484 --> 00:13:58,509
‫You want me to come down
‫and hold your hand؟

195
00:13:58,687 --> 00:14:01,679
‫I,m fine. I do not need anyone
‫to hold my hand.

196
00:14:01,890 --> 00:14:04,518
‫I,m not saying you need anyone.

197
00:14:04,693 --> 00:14:08,720
‫I,d just like to be there.
‫To help you, whatever.

198
00:14:08,897 --> 00:14:10,922
‫You,ll need help getting home.

199
00:14:11,099 --> 00:14:14,262
‫Yeah, I,m gonna ask carrie.

200
00:14:15,871 --> 00:14:18,305
‫Why do you have to ask carrie
‫when I,m offering؟

201
00:14:18,506 --> 00:14:21,475
‫Because, you know,
‫carrie is my friend.

202
00:14:21,643 --> 00:14:26,205
‫- oK, and what am I؟
‫- We haven,t established that yet.

203
00:14:27,649 --> 00:14:34,145
‫- Are you coming up؟
‫- We haven,t established that yet.

204
00:14:37,492 --> 00:14:40,359
‫What are we doing here؟
‫I mean, are we...

205
00:14:40,528 --> 00:14:44,521
‫steve, after they flip the eye up,
‫these jets...

206
00:14:47,302 --> 00:14:51,363
‫And over on the East side
‫at a more charlotte-friendly bar,

207
00:14:51,539 --> 00:14:55,270
‫the ice tea princess began her quest
‫for a white knight.

208
00:14:55,710 --> 00:14:58,975
‫oh, my God. He,s so cute.
‫cute, right؟

209
00:14:59,147 --> 00:15:01,945
‫very cute.
‫And I,m a professional.

210
00:15:04,719 --> 00:15:07,449
‫I have to meet him.
‫How am I gonna meet him؟

211
00:15:07,622 --> 00:15:10,284
‫We got here ten minutes ago.
‫Pace yourself.

212
00:15:10,458 --> 00:15:13,552
‫Hey beautiful. I,m J.J.
‫can I buy those sweet lips a drink؟

213
00:15:15,697 --> 00:15:18,325
‫I,m sorry. We were just leaving.

214
00:15:18,500 --> 00:15:22,095
‫charlotte was a firm believer
‫in the laws of dating feng shui.

215
00:15:22,270 --> 00:15:24,670
‫change location, change luck.

216
00:15:24,873 --> 00:15:27,171
‫Why is it always a guy like that؟
‫Is it me؟

217
00:15:27,342 --> 00:15:31,176
‫No, it,s not you.
‫Into every life a little J.J. must fall.

218
00:15:31,346 --> 00:15:35,749
‫I just want a nice, sweet,
‫handsome, funny, great guy,

219
00:15:35,917 --> 00:15:37,942
‫who doesn,t say things
‫like sweet lips.

220
00:15:38,119 --> 00:15:40,144
‫Is that too much to ask؟

221
00:15:40,322 --> 00:15:43,382
‫Hey, you didn,t leave.
‫You,re just over here now.

222
00:15:43,558 --> 00:15:46,322
‫- Let me buy you a drink.
‫- I,m not interested.

223
00:15:46,494 --> 00:15:48,826
‫one drink.
‫I,ll even buy blondie here one.

224
00:15:48,997 --> 00:15:52,899
‫- one little drink.
‫- Excuse me. she,s not interested.

225
00:15:53,068 --> 00:15:55,866
‫Am I talking to you؟
‫No. come on...

226
00:15:56,071 --> 00:15:58,471
‫- You,re not listening. The lady said...
‫- Hey, fuck you.

227
00:16:03,244 --> 00:16:07,510
‫- I,m sorry about that.
‫- Did you hurt your hand؟

228
00:16:07,682 --> 00:16:08,740
‫No.

229
00:16:08,917 --> 00:16:10,714
‫His name was Arthur.

230
00:16:10,885 --> 00:16:14,480
‫He was a nice, sweet, handsome,
‫great investment banker

231
00:16:14,689 --> 00:16:17,317
‫who lived between Madison and Fifth.

232
00:16:17,492 --> 00:16:19,653
‫so, maybe there
‫really were white knights.

233
00:16:24,566 --> 00:16:28,400
‫The day after charlotte met her knight,
‫I met my credit card limit.

234
00:16:28,570 --> 00:16:31,539
‫With no man in sight,
‫I decided to rescue my ankles

235
00:16:31,673 --> 00:16:33,300
‫from a life of boredom

236
00:16:33,441 --> 00:16:36,740
‫by purchasing too many pairs
‫of Jimmy choo shoes.

237
00:16:37,245 --> 00:16:40,908
‫Hello, my name is Bill Kelley and
‫I,m gonna be your city comptroller.

238
00:16:41,116 --> 00:16:44,517
‫- You,re not seriously here.
‫- I assure you I am.

239
00:16:44,686 --> 00:16:48,850
‫I brought some voter registration
‫forms. I filled out your name.

240
00:16:49,024 --> 00:16:53,324
‫Under occupation I put heartbreaker.
‫I really did. Look.

241
00:16:53,495 --> 00:16:56,931
‫You,re like a Jehovah,s Witness
‫with a good suit.

242
00:16:57,098 --> 00:17:00,625
‫- How long have you been here؟
‫- Your number is not listed.

243
00:17:00,802 --> 00:17:02,702
‫- What did you buy؟
‫- shoes.

244
00:17:02,871 --> 00:17:05,863
‫Let me see.
‫sit down and show me.

245
00:17:06,041 --> 00:17:09,374
‫- God, you are...
‫- I know.

246
00:17:12,947 --> 00:17:15,643
‫I,m not showing you a shoe.

247
00:17:16,484 --> 00:17:17,542
‫sexy.

248
00:17:18,620 --> 00:17:21,145
‫- Hey, I need a favor.
‫- You do؟

249
00:17:21,322 --> 00:17:25,315
‫It,s for the city of New York.
‫I really am one of the good guys.

250
00:17:25,493 --> 00:17:28,587
‫I,m carrying all the boroughs
‫but I need help with staten Island.

251
00:17:28,763 --> 00:17:31,857
‫- You want one؟
‫- No, I had one on Thursday.

252
00:17:32,033 --> 00:17:35,298
‫Here,s the thing.
‫I gotta go back out there

253
00:17:35,470 --> 00:17:37,938
‫to do a schmooze
‫at the capri restaurant

254
00:17:38,106 --> 00:17:41,007
‫on sunday night
‫and I want you to go with me.

255
00:17:41,976 --> 00:17:45,412
‫- And why is that؟
‫- Because they have great Italian.

256
00:17:45,580 --> 00:17:51,348
‫And also, for the record...
‫I can,t stop thinking about you.

257
00:17:53,655 --> 00:17:55,680
‫I'll pick you up at ۷.:۰۰.

258
00:17:56,391 --> 00:17:58,825
‫- No.
‫- Don't answer now. Think about it.

259
00:17:58,993 --> 00:18:03,430
‫I,ll drive by at ۷.:۰۰. I,ll wait in the car.
‫If you come, you come.

260
00:18:03,598 --> 00:18:06,533
‫If you don,t, no pressure.
‫Wear the shoes.

261
00:18:07,669 --> 00:18:10,536
‫These. pass them.

262
00:18:12,207 --> 00:18:15,973
‫That saturday, when I was unable to
‫take Miranda to her laser surgery

263
00:18:16,144 --> 00:18:19,636
‫due to a looming column deadline,
‫she didn,t call steve.

264
00:18:19,814 --> 00:18:22,715
‫she decided to take things
‫into her own hands.

265
00:18:22,884 --> 00:18:25,944
‫Who needs a man to hold your hand,
‫when you have cab fare

266
00:18:26,121 --> 00:18:29,113
‫and a black marker
‫to write down emergency numbers؟

267
00:18:29,290 --> 00:18:31,781
‫And while Miranda
‫was under the knife,

268
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,396
‫charlotte was having her first glass
‫of white wine with her white knight.

269
00:18:35,563 --> 00:18:38,999
‫I did the Hasty Pudding show
‫a couple of times, to blow off steam.

270
00:18:39,234 --> 00:18:41,259
‫My friend Tom
‫says that Harvard is still

271
00:18:41,436 --> 00:18:44,701
‫the most aggressive place he,s seen.
‫And he,s a trader.

272
00:18:44,873 --> 00:18:47,865
‫- Not Tom Kennedy؟
‫- Yes, do you know Tom؟

273
00:18:48,042 --> 00:18:52,877
‫He,s a great guy. And his wife.
‫That,s my idea of a perfect marriage.

274
00:18:53,047 --> 00:18:54,207
‫Totally.

275
00:18:54,382 --> 00:18:57,783
‫charlotte nodded, thinking what
‫a nice, sweet, handsome,

276
00:18:57,919 --> 00:18:59,716
‫funny, great couple they made.

277
00:18:59,854 --> 00:19:02,687
‫Excuse me,
‫you just bumped into her chair.

278
00:19:02,857 --> 00:19:06,520
‫- A little crowded.
‫- Yes, but you bumped her chair.

279
00:19:06,694 --> 00:19:08,719
‫You should say you,re sorry.

280
00:19:08,897 --> 00:19:11,263
‫- It,s oK.
‫- No, it,s not oK.

281
00:19:11,466 --> 00:19:15,869
‫- That,s no way to treat a lady.
‫- Lighten up. It,s brunch.

282
00:19:22,544 --> 00:19:26,878
‫charlotte realized that her date wasn,t
‫a man who came to women,s rescue,

283
00:19:27,081 --> 00:19:29,845
‫he was a man who liked to start fights.

284
00:19:30,051 --> 00:19:32,485
‫- Excuse me, sir...
‫- You want a piece of me؟

285
00:19:33,555 --> 00:19:35,182
‫And just like that,

286
00:19:35,323 --> 00:19:38,315
‫charlotte,s white knight
‫changed into a white nightmare.

287
00:19:40,328 --> 00:19:42,819
‫Miss Hobbes, your friend is here.

288
00:19:43,965 --> 00:19:46,399
‫- carrie؟
‫- Actually no, it,s me.

289
00:19:46,634 --> 00:19:49,159
‫carrie thought you might need
‫some help. oK؟

290
00:19:49,337 --> 00:19:53,068
‫I,m on valium, everything,s oK.

291
00:19:54,142 --> 00:19:57,168
‫- Here, give me your hand.
‫- I,m good.

292
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,976
‫Just don,t let me hit the door frame
‫and never mention these goggles.

293
00:20:05,687 --> 00:20:10,147
‫one cab ride and two sleeping pills
‫later, steve put Miranda to bed.

294
00:20:10,325 --> 00:20:12,759
‫All right. Give me your leg.

295
00:20:12,961 --> 00:20:16,089
‫No, this leg. I want this leg.

296
00:20:16,264 --> 00:20:19,131
‫stop! No rescue.

297
00:20:19,300 --> 00:20:23,600
‫Fine, oK. All right!
‫Put your feet in, sleeping Beauty.

298
00:20:28,209 --> 00:20:33,613
‫The next morning, after what felt like
‫a hundred years, Miranda awoke.

299
00:20:42,323 --> 00:20:46,157
‫And for the first time in her life,
‫she sawthings clearly.

300
00:21:00,541 --> 00:21:04,875
‫That night, Mr. July invited samantha
‫to come down and hang with him

301
00:21:05,046 --> 00:21:07,071
‫while he worked the sunday shift.

302
00:21:07,982 --> 00:21:11,941
‫Hello؟ Where is everyone؟

303
00:21:12,120 --> 00:21:16,489
‫The idea being in a firehouse
‫filled with a calendar hot firemen,

304
00:21:16,658 --> 00:21:20,150
‫was a fantasy, samantha felt,
‫whose time had definitely come.

305
00:21:20,361 --> 00:21:21,385
‫Boys!

306
00:21:28,870 --> 00:21:32,601
‫This was not the firehouse fantasy
‫samantha had in mind.

307
00:21:38,112 --> 00:21:42,048
‫samantha. I just put a pot of chilli on.
‫come on, sit down.

308
00:21:42,216 --> 00:21:45,242
‫come on, get up.
‫Make a move for sam.

309
00:21:47,722 --> 00:21:49,451
‫I,ll be right back.

310
00:21:49,590 --> 00:21:52,559
‫samantha,s rescue fantasy
‫was suddenly something

311
00:21:52,694 --> 00:21:54,924
‫she needed to be rescued from.

312
00:21:59,167 --> 00:22:05,333
‫- It,s me, leave a message.
‫- Hey, I,m still down here in the car.

313
00:22:06,374 --> 00:22:09,866
‫I,ll wait ten more seconds
‫and then I,ll go alone.

314
00:22:10,044 --> 00:22:17,177
‫Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, poor me...

315
00:22:17,352 --> 00:22:24,019
‫five, four, three, two...

316
00:22:24,192 --> 00:22:29,755
‫one. one and a half,...
‫sometimes a girl needs a half.

317
00:22:31,332 --> 00:22:34,733
‫oK, that was my best shot,
‫you,re not coming.

318
00:22:36,070 --> 00:22:39,096
‫so long... vote!

319
00:22:54,021 --> 00:22:56,717
‫- I don,t knowwhat I,m doing.
‫- oK.

320
00:22:56,891 --> 00:23:02,454
‫I,m standing here, fully dressed,
‫watching that politician guy

321
00:23:02,630 --> 00:23:05,326
‫drive off to staten Island
‫without me. Why؟

322
00:23:05,500 --> 00:23:09,266
‫- You hate staten Island؟
‫- Don,t think so. Any other ideas؟

323
00:23:12,774 --> 00:23:14,401
‫Just say it.

324
00:23:14,542 --> 00:23:18,478
‫Big. You,re terrified
‫of getting hurt again.

325
00:23:18,646 --> 00:23:22,082
‫There it was. The phrase single,
‫independent women in their thirties

326
00:23:22,250 --> 00:23:25,344
‫are never supposed to think.
‫Let alone say out loud.

327
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,750
‫oK, gotta go.

328
00:23:28,523 --> 00:23:30,218
‫Miranda was right.

329
00:23:30,358 --> 00:23:33,384
‫I was like a woman frozen
‫on the ledge of a building on fire.

330
00:23:33,561 --> 00:23:36,394
‫I,d been so burned
‫in my last relationship,

331
00:23:36,531 --> 00:23:39,728
‫I was afraid to leap off
‫into the next one.

332
00:23:55,216 --> 00:23:57,241
‫Excuse me for a second.

333
00:23:57,685 --> 00:24:01,246
‫- Hey. How did you get here؟
‫- Ferry.

334
00:24:01,422 --> 00:24:04,186
‫- All alone؟
‫- I,m very independent.

335
00:24:04,425 --> 00:24:08,953
‫- I can see that.
‫- And this isn,t a date.

336
00:24:09,130 --> 00:24:10,757
‫I'm a concerned citizen.

337
00:24:10,898 --> 00:24:13,594
‫A woman on my block
‫won,t pick up after her poodle.

338
00:24:13,734 --> 00:24:17,568
‫I,ll see what I can do.
‫can I take your coat؟

339
00:24:18,673 --> 00:24:24,612
‫And, Mr. President,
‫it was a bad break-up.

340
00:24:24,779 --> 00:24:28,112
‫so I need to take this slow.

341
00:24:32,153 --> 00:24:34,348
‫somewhere between
‫the chilli and half-time,

342
00:24:34,489 --> 00:24:37,822
‫samantha decided if she wanted
‫her firehouse fantasy to happen,

343
00:24:37,959 --> 00:24:39,756
‫she,d have to make it happen.

344
00:24:39,927 --> 00:24:41,792
‫Up here.

345
00:24:46,601 --> 00:24:49,365
‫Nice pole.
‫Wanna see it again؟

346
00:24:49,537 --> 00:24:50,526
‫Yeah.

347
00:24:54,909 --> 00:24:58,640
‫samantha rode the pole
‫a couple of times that night.

348
00:25:03,217 --> 00:25:05,845
‫Why are these boots set up like this؟

349
00:25:05,987 --> 00:25:07,955
‫so we,ll be ready
‫at a moment,s notice.

350
00:25:09,090 --> 00:25:14,289
‫Well, I should be a fireman,
‫because I am always ready to go.

351
00:25:16,964 --> 00:25:19,364
‫We,ve got a job.

352
00:25:21,836 --> 00:25:24,896
‫Get out of my gear.
‫Get the fuck out of my gear!

353
00:25:25,540 --> 00:25:28,475
‫Let,s go!
‫Move, lady, it,s a fuckin, fire!

354
00:25:33,114 --> 00:25:34,809
‫I,m coming.

355
00:25:48,062 --> 00:25:50,622
‫samantha learned there,s
‫quite a difference

356
00:25:50,831 --> 00:25:53,959
‫between a rescue fantasy
‫and a rescue reality.

357
00:25:58,639 --> 00:26:01,437
‫It,s getting late.
‫Are you sure I can,t give you a ride؟

358
00:26:01,642 --> 00:26:04,577
‫No, I,m good.

359
00:26:05,813 --> 00:26:09,943
‫You go...
‫You go and do your thing.

360
00:26:10,117 --> 00:26:12,142
‫Do I get your vote؟

361
00:26:18,426 --> 00:26:20,087
‫Too fast؟

362
00:26:22,830 --> 00:26:25,697
‫My God, you,re so sexy.
‫come home with me.

363
00:26:25,866 --> 00:26:27,925
‫Kissing is enough.

364
00:26:28,102 --> 00:26:30,127
‫It,s enough for tonight, really.

365
00:26:41,115 --> 00:26:44,710
‫oh, shit. It,s almost ۱۲:۰۰,
‫I,m gonna miss the last ferry.

366
00:26:58,132 --> 00:26:59,759
‫Wait!

367
00:27:03,437 --> 00:27:05,064
‫Wait!

368
00:27:07,875 --> 00:27:09,843
‫I lost my choo.

369
00:27:28,562 --> 00:27:29,995
‫Need a ride؟

370
00:27:33,034 --> 00:27:35,366
‫He didn,t have a white horse,

371
00:27:35,503 --> 00:27:39,269
‫but he did have a BMW
‫with a working heater.

372
00:27:39,407 --> 00:27:43,639
‫so I guess, sometimes a woman
‫absolutely has to be rescued.

373
00:27:43,811 --> 00:27:49,340
‫- You,re taking me home and that,s it.
‫- That,s it... for tonight.

374
00:27:52,987 --> 00:27:57,151
‫Now, any idea
‫howwe get the fuck off this island؟

375
00:27:57,324 --> 00:27:59,087
‫oK, make a right.

376
00:27:59,260 --> 00:28:03,629
‫And sometimes, a woman absolutely
‫has to rescue a man.

377
00:28:03,798 --> 00:28:08,258
‫At least, that,s how it ends
‫in this staten Island fairytale.
