'' Hope You'll Like & Enjoy The Movie !!! ''
CARRIE: Once upon a long time ago,
there was an island...
...some Dutch, some lndians
and some beads.
And those beads led to steamboats
and skyscrapers...
...Wall Street and electric lights...
...newspapers, Ellis lsland, the Yankees...
...Central Park and the first World's Fair...
...Broadway, the Chrysler Building
and Studio 54.
l like to think of that
as New York City B.C.:
Before Carrie.
Hi. guys.
l arrived on this island
at exactly 3:30 p.m...
...on Tuesday, June 1 1th, 1986.
Oh. Oh!
Cab! Cab. cab. cab! Taxi! Ca--!
lt seems like only yesterday.
Taxi!
Thank you.
The very next year, l met Charlotte.
We were on a subway car at 2 a.m.
when a homeless man dropped his pants.
Miranda and l met in 1989
at Bloomingdale's.
l was working in the dress department.
She was crying in the changing room.
-Hey.
-Hey.
Hi. How are you?
l met Samantha when she was
bartending at CBGB's.
[CAR HORN HONKING]
[YELLD]
-Bite me!
MAN: My pIace or yours?
-Hi.
-How are you?
DAMANTHA:
Let's go.
Hi.
Ready?
Time is a funny thing.
A decade can flash by
in an uneventful second.
And then, in just two years,
monumental things can happen.
Things you couldn't imagine happening
in a million years.
WeIcome to Bergdorf Goodman.
May I heIp you?
Yes. our friend is getting married.
-I never thought I'd see this day.
-You and me both.
HeII just froze over.
-What's the name?
-Oh. ***. It's Dtanford ***.
ActuaIIy. I think they're registered
under both names.
Her best gay friend
is marrying my best gay friend.
-That's wonderfuI.
-I know.
-Let me get the registry.
-Thanks.
How did this even happen?
I thought they hated each other.
It's Iike musicaI chairs. The music stopped
and they were the Iast two Ieft standing.
When you thought everyone you knew was
too oId to get married. here come the gays.
And so, one weekend, we all gathered
at a charming inn in Connecticut...
...where the view was breathtaking...
...and the wedding was legal.
How's my tie?
-How's my tie?
-Wow.
You didn't teII me you were wearing that.
WeII. I am the best man.
Oh. and you need a IittIe heIp here.
Do is a gay wedding shorter or Ionger
than a straight wedding?
-Why?
-Just wanna know what I'm in for.
WeII. I think the marriage ceremony
is about the same...
...but I have no idea how Iong
the sacrificing of the straight men wiII take.
There you go.
Don't make me Iook too good.
Gay wedding.
WiII you pIease stop referring to this
as a gay wedding?
WeII. isn't it a gay wedding?
WeII. yes. but it's not just a gay wedding.
It's Dtanford and Anthony's wedding.
-Mm. Got it.
-Mm-hm.
Whoops. Your fIy is down.
Better Iet me.
These things can be tricky.
[ZIPPER ZIPD]
You did not puII it up.
I have to be there in an hour.
I'm the best man.
Then I better do my best.
Don't wanna be Iate
to my first gay wedding.
This is not a gay wedding.
Wasting time taIking.
[CHEERING]
MAN:
Oh. come on. you're not gonna.
CHOIR [DINGING]:
lf ever l would leave you
lt wouldn't be in summer
Seeing you in summer
Okay. it's a gay wedding.
Your hair streaked with sunlight
Hey.
-Hey.
-HeIIo.
-White enough?
-This is what it Iooks Iike...
...when you stare directIy into the sun.
WeII. I think it's beautifuI.
Oh. this wedding is way more
than beautifuI.
It's Lady Di.
-Mommy. can I go Iook at the swans?
CHARLOTTE: Yes. honey.
Dure. baby.
Dtay where we can see you. okay?
-Right there.
LILY: Hi. swans.
CHARLOTTE: Oh. there's Damantha. Hey.
-You brought your dog?
It's a gay wedding. I figured. what's
one more IittIe *** with an attitude?
You guys. shouIdn't we be
a IittIe bit more PC?
ANTHONY:
Char!
Anthony! Hey.
Can you beIieve this pIace?
It Iooks Iike the Dnow Queen expIoded.
-How's that for PC?
-True.
Do you're not the wedding pIanner?
HeII to the no. I puIIed out
when Dtanford mentioned swans.
FinaIIy. I just threw up my arms.
whatever he wants. give it to him.
Aw.
Yep. Dtanford gets the wedding
of his dreams and I get to cheat.
And don't give me that face. Char.
Just because I'm getting married doesn't
mean I have to change who I am.
Do you're aIIowed to cheat
because you're gay?
No. because I'm ItaIian.
[CHUCKLED]
Carrie. Dtanford's Iooking for you.
Cute hat.
MAN: Anthony.
ANTHONY: Coming.
I don't get it.
Why get married if you're gonna cheat?
WeII. he didn't say he was going to cheat.
he just said he was aIIowed to cheat.
Is that how you heard it?
-WeII. it's not reaIIy any of our business.
-Except. he toId us.
I'm just saying. I think every coupIe
has the right to make their own ruIes.
WeII. not reaIIy. It's marriage.
-Hey. who wants a cocktaiI?
-Oh. I do.
And see if they have any food.
I need a IittIe nosh.
Eight years Iater. she's finaIIy a Jew.
CHOIR:
There were bells on a hill
Oh. Dtanny. You're wearing white.
Like a ***.
Touched for the very first time.
Hi.
Do. what do you think of everything?
You have swans.
-Too much?
-When are swans ever too much?
I don't know what came over me.
Remember that summer
when I got hooked on coke?
-Mm.
-This was Iike that.
WeII. you dropped quite a bundIe.
WeII. I've been saving for this day
since I was 19.
You aIways knew you
were gonna get married?
Yes. I just thought it wouId be
to a chubby. patient Jewish girI.
FYI. Anthony's out there teIIing peopIe
he's aIIowed to cheat.
I know.
He hates the tradition
so he pushes against it.
Do he is aIIowed to cheat?
Yes. but onIy in the 45 states where
we're not IegaIIy married.
Okay. now you do mine.
''Carrie Preston''?
What?
Nothing. I'm just surprised not
to be ''Bradshaw'' at your wedding.
The wedding pIanner said that coupIes
are aIways Iisted under their married names.
Oh. that makes sense.
Are you taking Anthony's name?
No. We're guys.
''Guys''? Have you seen yourseIf
in the mirror. Lady Dior?
[CHUCKLED]
***.
-Hey. did anybody send up my. um--?
-Oh.
Now. the boutonniere may say ''Preston.''
But the hat...
...says ''Bradshaw.''
Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly flow the days
Seedlings turn overnight
To sunflowers
Blossoming even as we gaze
Sunrise, sunset
Who's that hot straight guy with Carrie?
-That's Anthony's brother. Nicky.
-How can you teII that he's straight?
It's a gift.
CouId this wedding get any gayer?
Look who's marrying them.
MAN:
Oh. my--
[PEOPLE GADPING]
Sunrise, sunset
Why wouId Liza say yes to this?
It's a Iaw of physics.
Any time there's this much gay energy
in one room. Liza manifests.
[LAUGHD]
Another
Laden with happiness
And tears
CARRIE: A little while later, it was time for
Stanford and Anthony to exchange vows.
And now. the brooms have written their
own v-- ''Brooms''?
Bride. groom. Broom.
Oh. broom. Oh. that's marveIous.
Thank you. Liza MinneIIi.
[LAUGHING]
Quiet. now.
Weddings are serious.
At Ieast that's what I've heard.
''It was not exactIy Iove at first sight.
[PEOPLE LAUGHING]
But it turns out. it was Iove.
You are the first man to accept me...
...for the man that I actuaIIy am.''
That's the thing about tradition.
Like it or not, it sneaks in.
MazeItov!
MINNELLI:

the nanny out here. then?
-Is everything okay?
-Yeah. Rose is just driving us a IittIe crazy.
No. not crazy. Dhe's just a IittIe fussy.
Everything's fine.
MINNELLI [DINGING]:

Oh, ohh, ohhhh
Good Iuck.
[CHEERING]
Now I know why we got married.
Do we wouIdn't have to dance
to that song at weddings.
That the onIy reason?
Yeah.
[LAUGHD]
-I have to try on your crown.
-Oh. you have to.
[PHONE CHIMED]
I'm sorry.
-Hey. I'm kissing here.
-I have to. It's from him.
It's Daturday. You're at a wedding.
Did I mention that he hates me?
Who wouId dare hate you?
The new senior Iaw partner at her firm.
He rides her *** nonstop.
-Why?
MIRANDA: No idea.
It's Iike he can't stand the sound
of my voice.
Every time I open my mouth.
he shuts me down.
Dometimes he hoIds his hand up Iike this:
-Ew!
-Yeah. He hates me Iess over e-maiI.

CIimb up in here.
GABLE:

A system all my own.
Oh. that's shocking.
For the '30s. it was.
Did you see it when it opened originaIIy?
Aren't you going to give me
a little credit?
CARRIE:
Dhe's pretty.
Dhe's got nothing on you.
CARRIE:
There Big and l were...
...somewhere between wild sex
and a baby.
-Hey. you.
-Hey. how are you?
MAN 1 : Hi. guys.

-How many are there?
-Forty-four.
I'm on the one-a-day Fruity PebbIes pIan.
Women our age shouIdn't joke
about vitamins.
Women who are not our age shouIdn't
say ''women our age.''
-Yeah.
-WeII. one day very soon you wiII thank me.
I am Ieading the way
through the menopause maze.
With my vitamins. my meIatonin sIeep
patches. my bioidenticaI estrogen cream...
...progesterone cream.
a touch of testosterone--
-Dhe's the hormone whisperer.
-I am.
I've tricked my body
into thinking it's younger.
I've tricked my body
into thinking it's thinner. Dpanx.
And I'm teIIing you. no hot fIashes.
no mood swings...
...and my sex drive.
it's right back to where it was.
-ReaIIy? Hadn't heard.
-Where are you getting your information?
From Duzanne Domers
and her team of doctors.
I'II get you a copy. It's a reveIation.
You're taking medicaI advice from
the woman who invented the ThighMaster?
Damn right. Have you seen my thighs?
Okay. go ahead. Iaugh. It's working.
By the time you Iadies are 50. I'II be 35.
CHARLOTTE: Take Mommy's hand.
-Oh. here she is.
I thought it was just gonna be
the four of us.
Don't worry. the nanny wiII be here.
Harry's just not back from pIaying goIf.
CARRIE:
Oh. here.
Let me hoId that pretty
IittIe morning Rose.
RODE: No. No.
-Okay. no saIe.
Dhe just Iearned the word ''no.''
Good for her. We're hoping Damantha
Iearns it one of these days.
-TerribIe twos.
-Dhe's not terribIe.
No. of course. she's not terribIe.
The terribIe twos are terribIe.
Right.
Dhe's in the ''I onIy want Mommy'' phase.
And me and Erin.
That's right. Just you and me and Erin.
-Who's Erin?
-Her nanny.
How are you gonna swaIIow aII those?
Have we met?
Erin!
-Good morning. Iadies.
-Morning.
I hear it was quite the gIorious wedding.
[IN IRIDH ACCENT]
It was.
ERIN: Oh. and you must be
the famous Damantha.
It's a pIeasure to finaIIy meet you.
Now. I know a IittIe girI...
...who wouId just Iove to practice
her cartwheeIs on the Iawn.
LILY: Yay.
ERIN: Yay.
CHARLOTTE:
Do you have the sunbIock?
ERIN:
Come to me. you IittIe pet.
There you go.
-Yes.
-You have yourseIves a IoveIy morning.
MIRANDA: You too.
CHARLOTTE: Thanks. Erin.
-Oh. that is so sweet.
-I know.
That's your nanny?
Yes. that's Erin.
You mean Erin Go BraIess.
Ha. ha. Dhe doesn't wear a bra.
-Was she wearing a bra at the job interview?
-I don't know.
I was too busy thinking about her degree
in ChiIdren's Education...
-...and how much the girIs Iiked her.
-Her *** never came up?
No. her *** never came up.
-And she's amazing.
DAMANTHA: WeII. I'm sure she is.
But. honey. there ought to be a Iaw
against hiring a nanny that Iooks Iike that.
Yeah. the Jude Law.
[LAUGHING]
WAITREDD: Are we ready?
MIRANDA: Yes. I think so.
LILY: One. two. three!
HARRY: Yeah. go!
That's a good girI! One more time!
lt seems it wasn't only the children that
were captivated by Charlotte's lrish nanny...
...and her lucky charms.
And later that day,
Big and l arrived home.
BIG: Hot in here.
CARRIE: Yeah.
I'II get the air in the bedroom.
-You get the Iiving room.
-Okay.
After Big and l sold the extravagant
rooftop penthouse...
...we thought we were meant to live in...
...we decided that maybe we needed
to come a little more down to earth.
So we did.
Twelve floors, to be exact.
We may be closer to earth...
...but we kept a little bit of heaven.
MAN [ON Tv]: We've got excellent panels,
some of the best blinds....
It's 4:30. Where shouId
I make reservations? Any cravings?
Don't we have anything to eat here?
Nothing?
Come on. You knew when you married me
I was more Coco ChaneI than coq au vin.
Let's just order in.
We ordered in two nights Iast week.
BIG:
WeII. we've been out aII weekend.
Let's just stay home.
Okay.
-That couch is good. right?
-Mm-hm.
Worth the year and a haIf wait.
[CARRIE CHUCKLED]
AII we need is a piece for that corner
and we're done.
You did good. kid.
You know you have your shoes
on the couch. right?
Year and a haIf. I'm just saying.
[DOORBELL RINGD]
-That must be the rest of the Iuggage.
-Oh. good.
For a minute I thought it might be
the shoe poIice.
[LAUGHD]
And a few mornings later,
in a different home....
Why bring rat into New York house?
Do Brady can win the
second grade science fair. Right. B-boy?
BRADY;
Yeah. I'm gonna win.
-Dit down. pIease. have some breakfast.
-I can't.
I have this presentation
and I'm sick to my stomach.
I used to Iove going to work
and now I'm sick at the thought of it.
Here.
-Two bites.
-Thanks. Magda.
You don't have to put
yourseIf through this.
I'm a Iawyer. That's who I am.
Life's too short.
Go somepIace where they appreciate you.
UntiI you find a better job. you can be home
and heIp out around the house.
MIRANDA:
I've waited too Iong to get here.
I just have to suck it up.
Yeah.
Mom. you gonna come
to the science fair today?
DTEVE: Dorry. honey. she can't. Mommy's--
-Dhe has to go to work. Yeah.
MAN: We think that these new numbers
show a much more optimistic upside for us.
And the savings that we found
for the cIient...
...wiII easiIy make up
for any escaIated IegaI fees that they incur.
Do it's win-win.
It's totaIIy win-win. Tom.
And what's more. based on--
Kevin. I'd Iike you to run
with this from here on.
But it's Miranda's case.
ActuaIIy. it's the firm's case.
and as senior partner. I'm--
Is there a probIem?
I don't know. Is there?
Have something you'd Iike
to say to me in private?
I don't know that it needs
to be in private.
WOMAN:
Okay. and we're aII paying attention.
HonorabIe mention goes to RacheI
for ''What is Dtatic EIectricity?''
-Let's give her a big hand.
-What...?
-I quit.
-Good for you.
-You okay?
-I'II get another job. A better job.
And I aIready caIIed the headhunter.
Where's Brady?
Now. our first prize goes to Brady
for his Mouse Maze.
[DCREAMD]
Hey. Mom. I won!
I made it.
I never make it.
WOMAN: Good work. Brady.
MAGDA: Good boy.
ERIN:
Your doIphin has got aII the skiIIs...
...and it's gonna have a IittIe swim
with the crab.
Yes. it is. baby girI.
Hey. cutie. come Iook.
Now. what does this do here?
Look at this. WeII. what is that gonna do?
There can be many tortured moments
in the life of someone...
...who spends her days writing books.
The antidote to those moments...
...is the moment the finished book
finally arrives.
[PHONE RINGING]
-HeIIo?
-Do I have anything to worry about?
-Can you be more specific?
-I mean with the nanny and Harry.
That's just Damantha.
You're the one who said that thing
about Jude Law.
Oh. sweetie. it was a joke. You know.
it was right there. I had to go for it.
-And it was funny.
-No, no, l really wish l hadn't said it.
-Look. Mommy.
-Just a second. honey...
...I just have to finish these cupcakes
for the party tomorrow. okay?
-Hey. wait. what was I saying?
-DhouId you be threatened.
Did I say ''threatened''?
Uh....
-DhouId I be threatened?
-Look. Mommy. Iook.
Okay. honey. Let me just put Rose
in her chair. Carrie?
l'm gonna put you down for a second.
I'm gonna put the baby down.
I'II be right back.
[RODE DCREAMING OVER PHONE]
-Ooh.
-It's okay. It's okay. sweetheart.
-Oh. I know.
LILY: Look. Mommy. Iook.
CHARLOTTE:
Oh. precious.
-Look at me.
CHARLOTTE: It's okay.
Look. Look.
Okay. I'm Iistening.
WeII. did you have any worries
before the Damantha comment?
No. of course not.
I Iove Erin and I trust Harry.
I beIieve you just answered
your own question.
Me. me. me!
LiIy! This skirt is vintage.
-What skirt?
-It's the cream VaIentino.
Oh. sweetie. I'm so sorry.
I've gotta go!
LiIy. Iook at what you did!
Mommy just has to get something. okay?
Mommy.
Mommy. Mommy. Mommy.
Mommy wiII be out in a minute.
LILY:
Mommy. Mommy.
Mommy.
I was just getting more sprinkIes.
GirIs.
Let's go and pIay in my bedroom.
Mommy needs some cooking time.
Charlotte was thankful
to have Erin come home at that moment.
Threat or no threat.
Bra or no bra.
Good. Come on. darIing.
And from no bra
on the Upper East Side...
...to no *** in Times Square.
It's 12 and your Iunch is at 12:30.
DAMANTHA:
I'm just freshening up.
CaII the restaurant and teII them

It was deIicious.
And you did brag.
Oops.

-Just went to the top of my Iist.
Do. um. you and Dmith.
You're going

Oh. honey. just friends. But I may

Carrie. I haven't seen you here

-Do. what can I heIp you with?
-WeII. we need to find a red-carpet Iook...

This is our first venture

-Thank you.
-Thanks.
But you shouId reaIIy be

I mean. it's aII her.
I was just a waiter before she came aIong.
Dhe handIed my pubIic reIations

WeII...

[CHUCKLING]
Have you ever been

But you shouId see it for yourseIf.
As my guest. at my new hoteI.
And if it does not interfere too much
with your wonderfuI time...
...we might be abIe
to discuss some business.
-Business?
-Perhaps you couId make...
...America see my hoteI as a star
as you did with Dmith Jerrod.
And suddenIy. it's aII about the couch.
Two years ago. we never even
uttered the word ''couch.''
And now. our entire universe
revoIves around it.
Count your bIessings.
Remember when you couIdn't even

Yeah. I know. I know.
We're out tonight. He couId at Ieast sIap

He seems to be having a good time now.
CARRION:

There was a jumbo shrimp free-for-aII

It's a IittIe Ioud.

And for the record.
that is not a bIack-and-white movie.
What?
That was supposed to be
for bIack-and-white movies...
...and that
is not a bIack-and-white movie.
When the gay guy hit on me
at the wedding you thought it was funny.
I'm not upset about the fIirt.
I Iike the fIirt. In fact. you couId diaI up
the fIirt around here a IittIe more.
I get TV and take-out guy...

I'm sorry. Are we having a discussion
or watching teIevision?
What is it with you and this teIevision?
I don't wanna be one of those coupIes...
...Iying in bed.
watching teIevision and not taIking.
That is not the reIationship
I signed up for.
It's a teIevision.
not the end of the worId.
WeII. maybe to you it's not.
The Bering Sea has many faces.
You're not happy in.
and you're not happy out.
What does that mean?
WeII. what do you want from me?
I put on the shirt. I went to the thing...
...and now you're hammering me
about Iying in bed and watching a IittIe TV?
I mean. what is the probIem?
Look...

CARRIE: The last two years

...to put an apartment on the market.
So we didn't.
And from time to time,
l'd come here to write.
Or to visit the clothes.
[PHONE RINGD]
-HeIIo?
-What time did you wake up?
I don't know. about 6.
I'm worried about the Vogue articIe.
so I wanted to get started.
You haven't written over there in a whiIe.
Yeah, l know. l know. l just--
I don't know. I thought it wouId be easier
to work here. No distractions.
-Okay.
-Anyway, it's due Thursday...
...and I'm not even sure
what I'm writing yet. so. um....
Maybe I shouId just stay here
untiI I get it done.
You're going to stay there?
Just two days.
You know, just to *** it out.
-Is that aII right?
-Whatever you need.
-Everything okay?
-Yeah.
No. I just feeI Iike I reaIIy need
to Iock myseIf in a room...
...and not think about anything
but writing.
Okay?
Okay.
-Just two days. Okay?
-Okay.
-Okay.
-Bye.
Bye.
And l did think about nothing but writing.
Until the next day, when l could think
about nothing but food.
And as long as l was going to break
to eat anyway, l thought:
''Why not call the girls?''
One week in Abu Dhabi.
aII expenses paid.
I've aIways been fascinated by
the MiddIe East. You know. desert moons...
...Dcheherazade. magic carpets.
-Like Jasmine in Aladdin?
-Yes. sweetie. just Iike Jasmine.
But with cocktaiIs.
-It is exciting. When are you gonna go?
-I don't know. When can you aII be free?
You didn't think I was going
without my gaIs.
-What?
-I toId the sheikh I'd go on one condition:
I'd get to bring my three best girIfriends.
-Get out of town.
-My point exactIy.
And we are being fIown
on the sheikh's own airIine.
-He has his own airIine?
-Mm-hm.
-Oh. that is one chic sheikh.
DAMANTHA: Duper. super. super first cIass.
And you get your own individuaI suite
on the pIane.
-Oh. my God.
DAMANTHA: AII expenses paid for...
...everything for aII of us.
AII we have to do is pick the week.
And the sooner. the better.
I can hear the decadence caIIing.
Let me just check my work scheduIe.
Yeah. AII cIear.
I gotta check with the oId baII and chain.
but I'm good to go. MiddIe East me.
CharIotte. how's three weeks from now?
Oh. I don't know. I--
We have to go this month. Next month.
it gets so hot. you burst into fIames.
I bet that's not on their website.
I mean. I don't know if I can go at aII.
I have two chiIdren.
Yes. yes. but you have a husband.
And a fuII-time nanny. You said so yourseIf.
The kids Iove the nanny. right?
-Yes. but--
DAMANTHA: But what? What's the probIem?
I mean. we haven't been
anywhere together...
...since Carrie and Big's wedding bIowup
honeymoon disaster.
-Memories.
-And that was two years ago.
Two years of bad business
and this buIIshit economy. and I'm done.
We need to go somewhere rich.
-Damantha. I appreciate the--
-No.
I go to chiIdren's birthday parties for you.
You are going to Abu Dhabi for me.
MIRANDA:
ChiIdren's birthday parties.
PuIIing out the big guns.
-Okay.
-Thank you.
Look at us. Going to Abu Dhabi.
[PHONE RINGD]
-HeIIo.
BIG: How'd it go?
Just finished.
And thanks for the time.
How soon can you be dressed for dinner?
l have 9:00 reservations.
WeII...
...it's 8:30 aIready.
l'm downstairs.
CARRIE:
And just like that, it was 1998 again.
I'II be right down.
-Hey. kid.
-Hey.
I missed you.
I missed you.
We had a wonderful dinner out.
And back at home...
...the television stayed off
the entire night.
And pretty soon,
the Middle East was upon us.
I need that.
-AImost packed?
-One more to go.
I had an idea I wanted
to taIk to you about.
Remember when you took those
two days away to finish your articIe...
-...and then we had that great night?
-Mm-hm.
Maybe we shouId think
about doing that every week.
Hear me out.
After you took those two days
at your oId apartment. I started thinking:
What if I got a pIace?
-You want your own apartment?
-No. not my own apartment.
Just a pIace that I can go
two days a week...
...Iie around. watch teIevision.
do the *** I wanna do that bugs you.
And then the other five days...
...I'd be here and avaiIabIe
for dinners and sparkIe or whatever.
Do you're teIIing me that you want
two days off a week from our marriage.
And you'd have the same two days.
Oh. my God.
To work or see your friends.
Do the things you wanna do without me.
But I don't wanna do things without you.
Carrie. come on. I know you.
Can you honestIy teII me you didn't enjoy
those two days to yourseIf?
Two days. yes.
but I don't need it every week.
Are you saying you need it every week?
I don't know. it was just an idea.
Domething to think about.
Marriage doesn't work Iike that.
I thought we were supposed to be
making up our own ruIes.
Do two days. then four days.
then what. no days?
-Is that where this is heading?
-I never wouId've brought it up if I thought...
...it was gonna make you think I want out.
Look. I knew two years ago:
I am exactIy where I wanna be.
Five days a week.
Look. I'm just trying to make it
a IittIe easier for us to Iive together.
I mean. we're married...
...but we're stiII us.
Is this because I'm a *** wife
who nags you?
I feeI Iike I'm disappointing you
aII the time.
No. you're not disappointing me.
WeII. something is.
Do. what wouId I teII the girIs?
''Big and I are taking two days a week off...
...to make our marriage work better''?
They'd never understand.
I don't care if they understand.
This is our marriage.
Me and you. Just Iike you said.
Carrie...
...we're aduIts without chiIdren.
We have the Iuxury to design our Iife.
WeII. you can't get your own apartment.
That wouId freak me out
and it's a waste of money.
You can have my oId pIace
two days a week.
TemporariIy. tiII I figure out
how I feeI about this.
And I can take it back any time.
DeaI.
[PHONE RINGD]
-There's the car.
-I'II get your bags.
Oh. yes. you wiII.
And in a week. I'II pick you up

And everything is so beautifuI.
Just Iike I promised: the best of the best.
And Iook:
Arabic PringIes.
Okay. now I'm impressed.
WOMAN 1 : Date?
WOMAN 2: WouId you care for a date?
Not on vacation five minutes
and I aIready got a date.
Dates are the traditionaI weIcome fruit
of the MiddIe East.
I read that in one of these.
-Oh. You moving there?
-I've got us covered. The dos and don'ts.
And speaking of don'ts...
...men and women do not embrace
in pubIic in the MiddIe East.
Eh. eh. eh!
No. no. no. Dhe's taIking to you. sister.
Oh. pIease.
We're going to the new MiddIe East.
And when I need a break
from aII the reaI information...
...I have this.
Let me see this.
[WOMAN DPEAKING
IN ARABIC OVER PA]
Oh. Iisten. How exotic.
I wonder what she's saying.
ProbabIy teIIing us not to bring
those magazines on a 13-hour pIane ride...
-...with an impressionabIe woman.
-CharIotte. honey. don't read that.
Dorry.
[DAMANTHA LAUGHING]
You see.
it becomes a ''Y'' after a few drinks.
-I see.
-Care for another round. Iadies?
[DPEAKD IN ARABIC]
It means ''yes.''
[DPEAKD IN ARABIC]
Yeah. not the best word for her to Iearn.
How many times are you gonna read that?
Big and I are thinking about taking
two days a week apart to do our own thing.
Is everything okay?
Oh. yeah. yeah. yeah.
It's just something we're taIking about.
You know. he wouId get two days off
to do his things...
...and on those days.
I wouId do my things.
You know. Iike write
or have dinner with you guys...
...or I don't know. whatever.
Love it. I'm avaiIabIe.
Two days off?
You make marriage sound Iike a job.
WeII. it may not be a job. but it's work.
WeII. wouId that mean
that you wouId have two nights off too?
Mm-hm.
-Where wouId you sIeep?
-WeII. he's gonna stay at my oId pIace...
...and I'II stay at our new pIace.
I Ioved that time when Dteve and I
knew we were together...
...but we stiII had our own pIaces.
That was the best of both worIds.
I just think marriage is two peopIe...
...night after night.
sIeeping in the same bed.
You have four peopIe in your bed.
I've had four peopIe in my bed.
[MIRANDA GROAND]
No?
WeII. Iadies...
...I am going to sIap on
a patch of meIatonin...
...and have a seven-star snooze.
-I wiII see you in the MiddIe East.
-Night.
[DPEAKD IN ARABIC]
It means ''good night.''
[DPEAKD IN ARABIC]
I'm sorry.
ExpIain it again.
Just. what is it reaIIy about?
Big and I are just trying
to make our own ruIes.
You know. figure out what works best
for us as a coupIe...
...not what society says shouId work
for us.
Okay. God.
CharIotte...
...we're aduIts with no chiIdren.
We have the Iuxury
to design our own Iife.
But doesn't it hurt your feeIings
that he wouId want time off?
You just don't get it.
Somewhere over Africa...
...l began to wonder about relationships.
Can we really ever expect anyone
on the outside...
...to understand what goes on
between two other people?
Eight time zones and a change
of clothes later, we arrived in the future.
Have any of you Iadies ever been
to the MiddIe East before?
No. we're aII virgins.
Thank you.
Duper. super. super gentIe.
Thank you. thank you.
I am sorry. but...
...do you have any drugs in your Iuggage?
No. Just my hormones.
You gotta be kidding me.
I am sorry. It is just a UAE Iaw.
But they're aII naturaI.
They're made from yams.
Ladies. these are not drugs.
Okay. I need to speak to an ambassador
or an embassy...
...or someone in menopause.
Damantha. pIease caIm down.
-This is getting very. very Midnight Express.
-Okay. Fine. take them.
Without those creams and vitamins.
I wiII go ricocheting back into menopause.
-ReIax. it's one week.

We've set your meeting

CouId you heIp me check

Abu Dhabi do.
WeIcome to Abu Dhabi.

DAFIR:

DAMANTHA:
Wow.
-Did they aIso bring their baIIs?
-Yes. they have many. many baIIs.
This way pIease. for your private eIevator.
-We have a private eIevator?
-ApparentIy.
[ELEVATOR DINGD]
This can't be for us.
We must not be in the right pIace.
No. for once in my Iife.
I can say without a shadow of a doubt...
...I am in the exact right pIace.
Who ordered the cute?
WeIcome to the JeweI Duite.

-Makes sense. we each get our own car.
Rotunda. Miss York. this way. if you wiII.

-It's the MiddIe East.
-It's the new MiddIe East.
It's the MiddIe East.
This is the den.
CompIete with its own private bar.
Ooh. BeIIy up. Iadies.
[WOMEN LAUGHING]
There is aIso a private kitchen

Dream come true.
In here.

[GADPING AND OOHING]
Through there. the doubIe boudoir.
-Roomies.
-Roomies.
And in here. the formaI saIon.
And. Iadies. out on the terrace...
...you have an overview
of the entire grounds.
[WOMEN GADPING]
There's aIso a bar pooI.
five internationaI restaurants. a spa...
...a fitness center. a nightcIub...
...and. of course.
the beach and beach cIubs.
I've taken the Iiberty of arranging massages
for you. foIIowed by an earIy dinner.
Then you can have a good night's rest
and wake up tomorrow fresh.
There's nothing I don't Iove
about everything you just said.
[WOMEN LAUGHING]
Here is AbduI with drinks.
If there is anything you need...
...pIease do not hesitate to ask.
We are at your service.
MIRANDA:
The robes are caIIed abayas...
...and the veiI that covers everything
except the eyes is a niqab.
CertainIy cuts back on the Botox biII.
''Women are required to dress in a way
that does not attract sexuaI attention.''
Damantha. you gotta....
We're at the hoteI. It's a free zone.
DtiII. Out of respect.
WeII. I gotta say. I am digging the sequin
trim on the ReaI Housewife of Abu Dhabi.
What's up with that?
Younger MusIim women are embracing
oId traditions in new and personaI ways.
CARRIE:
WeII. I couId get into the head wrap...
...but the veiI across the mouth.
it freaks me out.
It's Iike they don't want them
to have a voice.
Yeah. or hormones.
I cannot find one Internet hormone site
that's not bIocked.
At Ieast you know your phone is working.
I can't get Harry to respond
to any of my texts and it's not Iike him.
-But you caIIed him when you arrived. right?
-Yeah. but that was hours ago.
French fries for the Iady with the veiI.
How is she gonna do that?
A Iift for every fry.
That is a major commitment
to fried food.
What time is it in New York now?
Okay. Dweetie. you gotta stop.
-What do you mean?
-You are obsessing...
...about something
that is happening 6700 miIes away...
...and you're missing the woman with
the veiI eating french fries at the next tabIe.
Consider this an interfriendtion.
You have to stop obsessing
about the nanny.
WeII. it is aII Damantha's fauIt.
I was perfectIy happy and then she went
and opened her big mouth.
Maybe we shouId get her a niqab.
Look. I warn you right now.
don't come down on me.
With the jet Iag
and the no hormones...
...who knows what kind
of mood swings I'm capabIe of.
I Iike the neckIace.
Hi.
[DNORING]
-Miss?
-Ah!
Oh. God.
I'm so very sorry.
It's okay. I'm sorry. I didn't--
I didn't expect you to stiII be here.
You did not dismiss me.
Oh. I was supposed to do that?
Oh.
I'm sorry. Gaurau. I didn't know.
It is my pIeasure. What can I do for you?
Nothing. I was just gonna warm
some miIk up. but you go. go home.
No. no. aIIow me. pIease. I insist.
I wiII bring it to you.
Oh. you don't have to. I'II wait.
If you wiII permit me.
might I suggest a touch of cinnamon?
It is a secret Iearned from my wife.
WeII. pIease apoIogize to your wife
for my keeping you here aII night.
It is fine. Dhe is in India.
CARRIE:
Oh.
I wiII see her in one month.
I'm afraid if I apoIogize then.
it wiII hardIy make sense.
Do you work here
and you traveI back and forth?
Yes. Every three months. when I have a
break in work and can afford the pIane fare.
Isn't that hard?
What. miss?
Just. you know. being married
and spending aII that time apart.
Time does not matter.
When we see each other. each time...
...it is very wonderfuI.
I'm a Iucky man.
Okay. now I'm gonna try
one of these IittIe date confections.
I think my butIer's gay.
-First. he's way too cute.
-That's genetics.
I asked about his dating Iife
and he said it was private.
That's appropriate.
When I asked how to pronounce
his name he said:
''AbduI. Like PauIa.''
-And that's gay.
-Yeah.
-Morning.
MIRANDA: Morning.
-Morning.
-How'd you sIeep?
AII right.
-Damantha. what are you eating?
-Mm. Hummus.
I read onIine that chickpeas are high
in naturaI estrogen.
Do are yams.
PauIa AbduI's getting me some Iater.
Is she here too?
Good morning. miss.
What can we bring you for breakfast?
Just some fruit. pIease.
Thank you.
He is so nice. What's his name again?
Gaurau.
He's from India.
His wife stiII Iives there.
They onIy see each other once
every three months when they can afford it.
And I asked him if that was hard
for them and he said:
''Time doesn't matter.''
That each time they see each other
it's wonderfuI.
Do. see. there are aII kinds
of marriages.
Who's up for a morning trip
to the souk in OId Abu Dhabi?
What's a souk?
It's a market where you can buy goId.
spices. textiIes and souk things.
I'm in. One sip then souk.
Wow.
-Oh. it's so beautifuI.
-We'II be back in time for Iunch.
-Thank you. Gaurau.
MIRANDA: Thank you. Resir.
Got it.
You must not have
a forbidden experience.
Oh. okay.
Men may approach you
with bIack-market wristwatches.
If you engage them. they'II move you to a
room and try to seII you items. It is iIIegaI.
Other than that. you'II not have to worry.
PeopIe here are very honest.
Driver.
[MIRANDA DPEAKD IN ARABIC]
CARRIE: Mm. DmeIIs so good.

We're going to a different city after Iunch.
I'II be back tomorrow.
Can I take you out to dinner.
just you and me?
Oh. Uh....
WeII. I don't reaIIy know

You know.
Miranda's got us scheduIed pretty....
It's okay. Look. if you have the time...

my hoteI has the best muhammara in town.
That's my internationaI ceII.
InternationaI ceII.
Look at you. aII grown-up.

They consider it rude

[CARRIE LAUGHD]
Bye.
They aIso consider it rude
not to caII an oId boyfriend for dinner.
Carrie!
How weird is this?
DAMANTHA:
How did he Iook?
Like no time had gone by.
-Did you teII him you and Big got married?
CARRIE: Yes.
Those were the first words
out of my mouth.
''Hey. we're here in Abu Dhabi

[LAUGHING]
-Is he stiII married?
-I have no idea.
Was he wearing a wedding ring?
I beIieve he was.

CHARLOTTE: Right.

The Australian rugby team.
Who ordered the Aussie sausage?
This is a disaster.
I have a whoIe pooI of testosterone

It's officiaI.
The estrogen has Ieft the buiIding.
Okay. I am puIIing an interfriendtion.
If I can't taIk anymore about Harry...

I can't eat any more yams.

''And on and on. one by one. she

Yeah. It's a satire.
And it's hiIarious.
''UntiI the taIented Bradshaw is better abIe

And to make it worse.
they turned me into a cartoon...
...and sIapped tape across my mouth.
DAMANTHA:
Take it as a compIiment.
You have a strong femaIe voice
and this guy is intimidated.
You know. I'm just reaIizing. it wasn't
my tone of voice that my boss didn't Iike.
It was the fact that I had a voice.
Men in the U.D. pretend they're comfortabIe
with strong women...
...but reaIIy. a Iot of them wouId prefer us
eating french fries behind our veiIs.
-Word.
-I shouId've just stuck to writing...
...about what I know: Being singIe.
But you're not.
No. I'm married.

How was your day?
-It was good.
-Wow. you Iook great.
I'm meeting Aidan for dinner.
Oh. okay.
We'II change our reservation to 5. then.

Damantha's got that Iate date.
Not necessary.

At his hoteI.
Yeah. There's a great MiddIe Eastern
pIace there.
It has the best. I don't know. something.
-Why are you having dinner with him?
-How can I not have dinner with him?
We bump into each other
haIfway around the worId?
-I mean. it means something.
-It doesn't mean anything.
Are you serious?
You have been saying that everything
means something for the Iast 20 years.
But seeing Aidan at a spice souk
in the MiddIe East means nothing.
I think you're pIaying with fire.
Oh. my God. Now I'm pIaying with fire?
AII right. you've gone crazy.
DeriousIy. you're crazy in Abu Dhabi.
Just because you're worried about
your marriage. everyone's gonna cheat.
Have a good time at dinner.
You okay?
Yeah. I'm just reaIIy. reaIIy tired.
I'm gonna take a nap.
Take a nice. Iong nap.
And then I'II buy you a drink.

Hi.
Hi.
Miss Hobbes.
I thought.
''Why go to a bar when we have a bar?''
Thank you.
Thank you. Resir. You can go.
How was your nap?
I sIept hard.
You needed it.
Being a mother kicks your ***.
Yes. but the benefits make it worth it.
Okay.
-We're 6700 miIes away from everyone.
-Mm-hm.
-You can say it to me. I'm a mother too.
-Day what?
AII the things you're thinking. but you
won't aIIow yourseIf to say out Ioud.
Okay. I'II go first.
As much as I Iove Brady...
...and I do Iove him more than words...

I miss my job.
You're not gonna Ieave me hanging out
feeIing Iike the worst mother. are you?
Okay.
WeII....
-I Iove my girIs.
-I know that.
But...

-I needed a break.
-Yes. you did.
Rose cries aII day. every day.
It's driving me crazy.
I have been watching you.
I don't know how you're doing it.
Dometimes I go in the other room
and I cIose the door...
...and I just Iet her scream.
Isn't that awfuI?
No. that's survivaI. Take a sip.
And can I teII you something eIse?
I feeI guiIty.
I feeI so guiIty. because aII I ever prayed

And now I have these two beautifuI girIs.
And?
-They're driving me crazy.
-Take a sip.
And I feeI Iike I'm faiIing.
I just feeI Iike I'm faiIing aII the time.
You're not faiIing.
Being a mother is hard.
Oh. my God. It is so hard.
And I have fuII-time heIp.
How do the women without heIp do it?
I have no *** idea.
-To them.
-To them.
And when I--
Oh. no. I can't. I can't. It's awfuI.
Dip.
Go.
When I heard Damantha say...
...that Harry was gonna cheat on me
with Erin--
Yeah.
--my first thought was:
''I can't Iose the nanny.''

We reaIIy shouId eat something.
I'm happy for you. For both of you.

Dhe's great. Dhe's reaIIy amazing.
Her fabric business is through the roof.

What about you?
Not in the cards?
I don't know.
We've taIked about it a Iot

Yeah. doesn't surprise me.
You're anything but traditionaI.
I Iearned that when I tried
to get you to wear a ring.
ExactIy. And see? DtiII:
No diamond.
-And I'm married.

Trying to get a rock on you.
You're not Iike other women.
Man. are you not.

You Iook hot. I'm sorry. but you do.
Did you enjoy the muhammara?
That is the best muhammara

AIDAN:

One to represent each

I know you knew it.
I pIayed with fire.
I'm so mad at myseIf.
Is Damantha stiII here? I need everybody.
Dhe's getting ready for her date.
Damantha!
In here.
I kissed Aidan.
I'm freaking out. I need to taIk.
I'm coming right out.
PauIa. I need a toweI.
One minute. he was naming
the Arab Emirates...
...and then. aII of a sudden. we kissed.
-Did he kiss you? Or did you kiss him?
-No. both. Both equaIIy guiIty.
-Yeah. I wanna caII Big and teII him.
-Let's just caIm down for a second.
No. reaIIy. I don't want the secret.
The secret to me makes it much worse.
Do the sooner I teII him. the quicker.
the Iess damage it wiII do.
I mean. we're eight hours ahead
of New York. This is the future.
It hasn't reaIIy even happened there yet.
WeII. now I'm crazy in Abu Dhabi.
Do. what do you think? DhouId I caII him?
CHARLOTTE:
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I'm a IittIe drunk.
When Dteve toId me he cheated on me.
I was devastated.
But now that I know
it was onIy that one time....
-Yeah?
-Was the pain worth it?
-I don't know.
-Yeah. I don't know.
DAMANTHA:
Let's get something straight here.
Dteve had sex.
I'm sorry. but he did.
And this was just a kiss.
A kiss is nothing.
-A kiss with Aidan.
-It was a kiss.
-We have a history.
-It was just a kiss.
Day nothing.
I am gonna teII him.
Do me a favor...
...and sIeep on it.
Your first sheesha experience.
This is very exciting.
You put this pipe in your mouth--
And suck?
You are a naturaI.
I think you have another audience.
Abu Dhabi is so cutting-edge
in so many ways...
...and so backward when it comes to sex.
And the paradox is...
...I find myseIf to be most aroused
on my trips here.
Do teII.
If we were in. say. Paris.
or Madrid. right now...
...I wouId be having my hand down
your bIouse. brushing your nippIes.
But here. such things are forbidden.
And it's Iike being a boy again.
And are you a big boy?
WaIk on the beach?
Oh. yes.
I need a waIk on the beach.
Your top seems to have come undone.
[DPEAKING IN ARABIC]
[PHONE RINGING]
WeII. it's 2:30 a.m. there.
You stiII can't be jet-Iagged.
Hi.
Domething happened.
-Are you okay?
-Yes. Yes.
Nothing accident-wise or anything.
But it was an accident.
What happened? Are you physicaIIy okay?
Yes, l'm--
I'm fine.
I. uh. went to the spice market...
...and I ran into Aidan.
-Hello?
-Yes?
And we decided to have dinner...
...because it was so strange
to see each other there.
And at dinner we were taIking about
how happy we were in our marriages and--
And when we went to say goodbye...
...somehow...
...we kissed.
lt didn't mean anything...
...and it Iasted onIy a second.
And I'm sick about it.
And the girls didn't know
if l should even tell you...
...because it was just a kiss
and it means nothing.
But I toId them...
...that I couIdn't have a secret from you.
That we don't have secrets.
And the secret
wouId just make it worse. Do....
Do I'm teIIing you.
And I feeI awfuI.
And I'm sorry.
Please say something.
I'm at work. Carrie.
l have to go.
Goodbye.
[PHONE RINGD]
-Hi. I was gonna caII you back. I just--
DAMANTHA: Carrie, this is outrageous.
-l've been arrested.
-Wait. wait. wait.
-Damantha. wait. What's wrong?
-You gotta get down here.
[GROAND]
Get up.
Damantha was arrested for having sex
on the beach.
Dhe's at hoteI security
and she needs a Iawyer.
I'm on it.
No. no. no. That way.
We did not have sex.
We were just kissing.
And this uptight coupIe toId
the security guard to arrest us.
Dee. kissing is something. It's iIIegaI.
DAMANTHA: Oh. Mr. Dafir.
thank you so much for coming.
I'm so sorry
about this unfortunate situation.
Ladies. if you don't mind waiting outside.
I'm her attorney. I'm gonna stay.
-Dure.
-We'II be right outside.
-It's aII right.
-Do. what is the severity of the situation?
The gentIeman who reported the incident
is very conservative...
...and has insisted the offending event
be recorded.
Offending event? It was kissing.
I understand your feeIings.
But we wiII need your passport.
My passport? You gotta be kidding me.
It's just to make a record.
To satisfy the compIaining gentIeman.
This is outrageous.
I know. I know.
It was just a kiss.
Thank you.
I guess I reaIIy missed who I used to be...
...and Aidan was such a big part
of that and--
Yes. I wanted the fIirting.
and. yes. I wanted the attention.
But I didn't want the kiss.
The minute I kissed Aidan
I remembered who I used to be.
Domeone just running around New York
Iike a crazy person...
...trying to get the one man I Ioved
to Iove me back.
And now he does Iove me...
...and he wants to sit on a couch
in New York City with me.
And I reaIIy hope my past hasn't
screwed up my future.
And what's so bad
about a couch anyway?
Oh. my God. I'm having a mid-wife crisis.
I shouId never have said anything to him.
The New Yorker was right to sIap
a big piece of tape across my mouth.
And I'm sorry for that thing I said
about your marriage earIier.
I'm sorry too.
For what?
For having an attitude
about that two-day idea.
I've had two days away.
I've gotten a IittIe sIeep...
...and I am finaIIy starting
to feeI Iike myseIf again.
I think there's reaIIy something to it.
Maybe.
WeII. Iet's just hope Big
doesn't want seven days off.
And as morning arrived,
so did Samantha's release.
MAHMUD:
I am sorry it took me so Iong to arrive.
DAMANTHA:
WeII. you're here now. Mr. Mahmud.
I never got word
untiI I arrived at my office.
I'm sorry that you had to come
aII the way out here.
-WeII. it is aII settIed now.
-Thanks to you.
-Good to see you again. Iadies.
-Thank you so much.
I'm starving.
HeIIo? What's for breakfast?
AbduI? Anybody?
WeII. that's odd. Where are they?
[PHONE RINGING]
-HeIIo?
-Miss Jones. pIease.
Damantha. It's the front desk.
-This is Damantha Jones.
-Miss Jones.
This is Beydoun at the front desk.
I wiII need a credit card number
for the room charges.
Beydoun. there must be some mistake.
I am a guest of Dheikh KhaIid.
There is no room charge.
Yes. I have a record of that.
But not from today on.
What are you taIking about? I have
a meeting with the sheikh on Tuesday.
Ah. yes. I have a note here
from Mr. Mahmud.
That meeting is no Ionger as weII.
That sneaky ***
has canceIed the meeting...
...and he wants us to pay
for the room from now on.
We have you booked into the JeweI Duite
untiI Wednesday.
The charge is 22.000 per night.
The room is $22.000 a night.
-What?
-We can't pay that.
Let them sue me.
The punishment for not paying
your hoteI biII in the UAE is jaiI.
What time is checkout?
In preciseIy one hour.
We have an hour to pack
and get the *** out of Abu Dhabi.
CHARLOTTE:
What?
What do you mean--?
New MiddIe East. my ***.
*** PauIa AbduI.
Where is she when you need him?
Damantha!
Damantha!
I can't be ready in an hour!
Then you better have $22.000 a night!
CHARLOTTE:
Oh. my God.
AII right. Okay.
I've got the bath products.
[KNOCKING]
MAN: Yes. Did you caII about Iuggage?
MIRANDA: They're here for the Iuggage.
CARRIE:
Okay. I'm coming.
MIRANDA: Hi. I'm caIIing

DAMANTHA: Oh. Christ.
CHARLOTTE: Are you okay?
MIRANDA: We were supposed to be
Ieaving on Tuesday. but....
CARRIE:

-Dhorts?
-I no Ionger care.
I am going from here to a pIane to America.

At Ieast zip up the jacket.
I am having a hot fIash in 1 19 degrees.

MAN: Yes. miss.
-HeIIo.
We caIIed down for two cabs going

MAN: Right away.
-Thank you.
Oh. how the mighty have faIIen.
Oh. my God!
-What?
-I forgot to buy Harry and the girIs a gift.
-I've gotta run to the gift shop.
MIRANDA: Get them at the airport.
How tacky. No. we have time.
The pIane doesn't Ieave tiII 6.
Not chancing it. It's a miracIe
I got these seats rebooked.
If anything goes wrong. we're fIying back
13 and a haIf hours in coach.
Buy them some crap at the airport.
It's not here. My passport.
-WeII. is it in another purse?
-No. no. I had it right here.
I had it right here next to my money
and the spices.
WeII. they're not here either.
I Ieft it where I bought the shoes.
I put it on the counter and then when
I saw Aidan I got distracted and I--
-It's aII right. It's okay.
-I have to go back to the souk.
-What if it's not there?
-It wiII be there. It has to be.
-Miranda. go with me?
-Dure.
-We'II aII go.
-You don't have to do that.
Yeah. Iike we'd dump you in Abu Dhabi.

They took my creams.

Carnegie HaII. Fifth Avenue.
You've been to New York?
No.
But we Iove the fashion.
-Louis Vuitton.

And there, in a dried-flower shop,
halfway across the world...
...underneath hundreds of years

...was this year's spring collection.
-Do beautifuI.

-Domething. something. Arab women.
WouId you Iike anything to drink?
Coffee. tea? Anything. reaIIy.
Dorry. If we don't Ieave now.

But what about those angry men

How are we gonna get past them?
CARRIE:
AII cIear.
MIRANDA:
This way.
It's this way.
Hey. where's CharIotte?
-Dhe was behind you.
-No. I know.
I'm gonna *** kiII her. If we miss

Dhoes. the shoes. Look for her shoes.
Dhe was wearing purpIe peep-toe pIatforms.
-Got it.
-Right.
There she is.
CharIotte!
Look! For the girIs!
MIRANDA:
Taxi!
-Taxi!
CARRIE: Don't women here take cabs?
Taxi!
Why won't they stop? We're out of time.
We're gonna get bumped from first cIass.
I can't be in menopause and in coach.
I have an idea. HoId this.
-What's she doing?
-I don't know.
CARRIE: Oh. hurry.
DAMANTHA: Get in.
MIRANDA: I'II get in the front.
CHARLOTTE: Thank you so much.
-Thank you. sir. Oh. yes.
MIRANDA: We're going to the Taj AI Daharaa.
Thank you.
Do you have anything to decIare?
Yes. I'm a mess.
Thank you.
WOMAN:
Do you have anything to decIare?
Turns out, Big never met me
at the airport like he promised.
-Thank you. WiIIiam.
-No probIem. Mrs. Preston.
John?
No Big and no TV.
LILY: Here comes Mommy.
HARRY: Here comes Mommy.
-Hey. there she is.
LILY: Mommy. hi.
HARRY: Let's say heIIo. Iet's say heIIo.
-Oh. I missed you so much.
-Hi! Baby Rose.
HARRY: HeIIo. my Iove.
-I missed you so much.
RODE: Mommy.
[LINE RINGING]
BIG [ON RECORDING]: l can't pick up,
so please leave me a message.
Hi. it's me. I'm home.
Where are you?
[DOOR OPEND]
Hi.
Where you been aII day?
WaIking around.
KiIIing time.
Torturing you.
WeII. it worked.
-I thought you weren't gonna come back.
-Oh. no.
I'm a grownup.
And I made a vow.
Remember?
Ever thine. ever mine.
Ever ours.
Just so you know...
...that reaIIy tore me up.
I'm sorry.
You know. it seems to me
that you're a bit of a rookie...
...when it comes
to this whoIe marriage idea.
And maybe in Iight of what happened...
...untiI you get a better understanding
of what this is aII about...
...you need a IittIe reminder.
This is your punishment.
You have to wear this every day
so that you remember...
...you're married.
GIadIy.
It dawned on me
when I was waIking around...
...that whiIe you wrote
a funny book about vows...
...you never actuaIIy wrote any vows
from you to me.
Oh. I did.
But then that wedding never happened.
I guess we aII make stupid mistakes.
You were saying.
Vows.
I took the Iiberty of making up
some vows for you.
Repeat after me. pIease.
I wiII never kiss another man other
than my husband.
I wiII never kiss another man other
than my husband.
I wiII stop worrying
about being a boring oId married coupIe...
...because we never wiII be.
I wiII stop worrying
about being a boring oId married coupIe...
...because we never wiII be.
Are you sure?
It's gonna be just us two.
Are we enough?
Kid...
...we're too much.
How's that for a IittIe sparkIe?
That's a Iot of sparkIe.
Why'd you get a bIack diamond?
Because you're not Iike anyone eIse.
That's a reIief.
I thought you were gonna say
it's the coIor of my souI.
And, like it always will,
time moved us on.
And in the future--
MIRANDA: I am proud to report
that the settIement we attained...
...for GIobaI FamiIies Incorporated
surpassed their expectations.
--Miranda learned that at the right law firm,
where her voice was valued...
...she was also fun at work.
And that July 4th,
on an East Hampton sand dune...
...Samantha learned that good things
do come to those who wait...
...when she and Rikard
resumed their date in the land of the free...
...and the home of the hormones.
[DAMANTHA MOANING]
And Charlotte learned that she never
really had anything to worry about.
Turns out, her hot nanny preferred
the company of other hot nannies.
DAMANTHA: Dtanford. here's a refresher.
-Yes. pIease.
-Happy birthday.
-What are you doing? You drank it aII?
And as Rose turned 3...
...and our marriage grew out
of the terrible twos...
...Big and l found less and less need
to escape to the other apartment.
But we kept the option open.
Just in case someone
needed those two days off.
As for me, l began to think of marriage...
...much like the Real Housewife
of Abu Dhabi's veil.
You have to take the tradition
and decorate it your way.
WOMAN [ON Tv]:
--trying to make up my mind for me.
MAN:
Well, stop it and do as l tell you.
WOMAN: Leopold.
-Never take a stubborn woman...
...they're a curse. My mother
warned me against stubborn women.
WOMAN:
Leopold.
MAN: Now, stop following me
or l'll call the police.
CARRIE: Because while movies may be
wonderful in black and white...
...when it comes to relationships...
...there's a whole range of colors
and options to explore.
And that's where l am today.
