1. Once upon a time, in a magical land
called Manhattan,
Copy !req
2. a young woman fell in love.
Copy !req
3. Charlotte and Jack locked eyes at
a black tie benefit for Epstein/Barr.
Copy !req
4. She chased him through
every disease in New York.
Copy !req
5. They've been officially dating
since retinitus pigmentosis.
Copy !req
6. Jack was perfect for her.
Architect, philanthropist,
Copy !req
7. and the sex was amazing.
Copy !req
8. Late one night,
Jack popped the inevitable question.
Copy !req
9. So...
Copy !req
10. - What are your fantasies?
- Oh, God.
Copy !req
11. I'd love to own my own gallery,
and maybe a little cottage in Maine.
Copy !req
12. Well, actually I meant more like
screwing in an airplane bathroom
Copy !req
13. kind of fantasies.
Copy !req
14. The closest Charlotte had ever come
to getting screwed on a plane
Copy !req
15. was losing her luggage.
Copy !req
16. I've always wanted
to do it in my parents' bed.
Copy !req
17. - Wild, I like it.
- What about you?
Copy !req
18. - You, me, and another woman.
- Come on!
Copy !req
19. I'm serious.
Copy !req
20. Charlotte, you have
no idea how sexy you are, do you?
Copy !req
21. The idea of you touching
another woman...
Copy !req
22. God, it makes me hard
just thinking about it.
Copy !req
23. - Jack wants us to do a threesome.
- Of course he does. Every guy does.
Copy !req
24. Threesomes now
are the blow job of the '90s.
Copy !req
25. - What was the blow job of the '80s?
- Anal sex.
Copy !req
26. Don't get pressured into it.
It's just a ploy to watch you be a lesbian.
Copy !req
27. - Don't knock it until you've tried it.
- I had a threesome once in college.
Copy !req
28. I was drunk, and I woke up
in someone else's bra.
Copy !req
29. Only do a threesome
as the guest star -
Copy !req
30. the girl the couple gets to come in,
screw, and leave.
Copy !req
31. - The pinch hitter.
- Exactly. It's perfect.
Copy !req
32. Great sex, without wondering
about your relationship.
Copy !req
33. - But you don't have relationships.
- Which is why I have great sex.
Copy !req
34. - I've never done a threesome.
- Because you have relationships.
Copy !req
35. - Well, I've never done a threesome.
- Of course you haven't.
Copy !req
36. You in a threesome?
You won't even wear a thong!
Copy !req
37. - Jack thinks I'm sexy.
- He's buttering you up.
Copy !req
38. First, you start thinking you're hot,
then he brings up the threesome thing.
Copy !req
39. Boom! Suddenly you're kissing
another woman while he beats off.
Copy !req
40. Make sure the other woman
isn't a friend.
Copy !req
41. Use somebody
you meet in a bar or something.
Copy !req
42. - That's romantic.
- No, I think I'd feel safer with a friend.
Copy !req
43. Someone I could trust, like Carrie.
Copy !req
44. Oh, gee, I'm flattered.
Copy !req
45. But I'd go with someone
who has a little more experience, like Sam.
Copy !req
46. Well, thanks.
Copy !req
47. But there is something
sexy about a first-timer like Charlotte.
Copy !req
48. Really?
Copy !req
49. Oh, great, no, forget about me.
Copy !req
50. - Oh, come on.
- You know, I'd do it with you guys!
Copy !req
51. It's like picking teams
for dodgeball all over again.
Copy !req
52. Was Samantha right? Were threesomes
the new sexual frontier?
Copy !req
53. No question.
Guys were infatuated with threesomes.
Copy !req
54. And when I started looking,
they were everywhere.
Copy !req
55. After all, our lives are built on threesomes.
Copy !req
56. Fat, low-fat, non-fat.
First, business, economy. Moe, Larry, Curly.
Copy !req
57. Maybe we were never meant
to do it with only one other person.
Copy !req
58. Maybe threesomes
were the relationship of the future.
Copy !req
59. Meanwhile, Samantha had been starring
Copy !req
60. in a show I call
"Sam Does The Married Guy".
Copy !req
61. - I love that you're not my wife.
- I love that, too.
Copy !req
62. I mean, that thing
you do with your hips.
Copy !req
63. Ruth won't even get on top.
Copy !req
64. Ken was 37, a wine importer,
Copy !req
65. unhappily married to a woman
who designed modular office furniture.
Copy !req
66. This affair
was the most exciting thing
Copy !req
67. that had happened to him
since the '94 Montrachet.
Copy !req
68. Five hours later,
Charlotte's night was just beginning.
Copy !req
69. She and Jack had just had
another fantastic date, dancing for dyslexia.
Copy !req
70. So, what do you think of her?
Copy !req
71. - Is she hot?
- Jack!
Copy !req
72. You're right.
Copy !req
73. - Maybe she's more your taste.
- Stop it.
Copy !req
74. - Have a light?
- Sorry. I don't smoke.
Copy !req
75. That's a shame.
Copy !req
76. Did you see that? She was flirting with us.
Copy !req
77. She was flirting with you.
Copy !req
78. Charlotte, you're such a turn-on,
and you have no idea.
Copy !req
79. You're giving off
this sexual energy all the time.
Copy !req
80. A vibe like you've got a fire inside you.
Copy !req
81. She'd be crazy not to be into you.
Copy !req
82. Who knows whether it was
her vodka or her vibe,
Copy !req
83. but Charlotte suddenly felt warm.
Copy !req
84. - She put her hand on my leg.
- So, should I ask her to join us?
Copy !req
85. That night,
she had an eye-opening experience.
Copy !req
86. Charlotte hadn't been that excited
since she became a cheerleader.
Copy !req
87. What do you think
your dream meant?
Copy !req
88. I'm in a sandbox with Charlotte, Sam,
and Carrie and they won't play with me.
Copy !req
89. Please, it's obvious.
Copy !req
90. Miranda was dealing
with her own nightmare.
Copy !req
91. I know it's juvenile, but it bothers me.
I'm attractive, I'm smart...
Copy !req
92. people should want me for a threesome.
Copy !req
93. So, you're saying
you're attracted to your girlfriends?
Copy !req
94. No! But if your friends
won't go down on you, who will?
Copy !req
95. - Well, that's some dream.
- It was so real. I can't stop thinking about it.
Copy !req
96. - And I think I enjoyed it.
- That's great.
Copy !req
97. Dreams are a good way to experiment.
Copy !req
98. It's like buying a dress
and keeping the tags on.
Copy !req
99. Do you think it means
I should have a threesome?
Copy !req
100. Jack says I have a fire inside me.
Copy !req
101. - Tell him they make a cream for that.
- I'm serious!
Copy !req
102. - Don't do it just to make Jack happy.
- Maybe it would bring us closer.
Copy !req
103. Sweetie, it's weird to sleep with someone
you don't know to get closer to Jack?
Copy !req
104. But how well do we ever know
the people we sleep with?
Copy !req
105. That was Charlotte. Just when you think
she's a Park Avenue Pollyanna,
Copy !req
106. she'd say something so right on,
you'd think she was the Dalai Lama.
Copy !req
107. Is my hair too shiny?
Copy !req
108. And then she'd say
something else.
Copy !req
109. But the bigger question remained...
Copy !req
110. if Charlotte was considering
a threesome, who wasn't?
Copy !req
111. The Village Voice
had more ads for threesomes
Copy !req
112. than for small rat-infested studios
renting at $1,000 a month.
Copy !req
113. But who answered these ads?
Copy !req
114. Wall Street honcho seeks two horny gals
for a fuck-fest at my summer home.
Copy !req
115. No fatties, please.
Copy !req
116. Sweet, suburban school teacher
seeks two men to fulfil her fantasies.
Copy !req
117. You be black or Hispanic.
I'll be on time.
Copy !req
118. I need your dick now.
Copy !req
119. X-files fanatic twosome seeks
Scully look-alike for abduction fantasy.
Copy !req
120. Me, gorgeous with big boobs.
You, a couple with class.
Copy !req
121. Let's experience everything the city has.
Copy !req
122. I'm into museums,
blow jobs, theatre, and golden showers.
Copy !req
123. I seemed to be the only person who
still believed in the one-on-one relationship.
Copy !req
124. Mr Big and I were doing sleep-overs.
Copy !req
125. Which one?
Copy !req
126. This one.
Copy !req
127. You better be careful.
I could get used to this.
Copy !req
128. Why is it that putting
a tie around a man's neck
Copy !req
129. is sometimes even sexier
than taking it off?
Copy !req
130. What are you doing for lunch?
I could swing an hour between meetings.
Copy !req
131. No, sorry. I can't.
Copy !req
132. - I have to interview someone.
- About what?
Copy !req
133. Threesomes. Ever done one?
Copy !req
134. Sure. Who hasn't?
Copy !req
135. Really? With who?
Copy !req
136. My ex-wife.
Copy !req
137. Suddenly my column
was the last thing on my mind.
Copy !req
138. - You were married?
- Yeah, I thought I told you.
Copy !req
139. No, no, you didn't.
Copy !req
140. - An ex-wife, that's a new twist.
- And they had wild sex, threesomes.
Copy !req
141. We used to have wild sex,
but now we have sweet sex.
Copy !req
142. - Wild beats sweet.
- But he's not with her.
Copy !req
143. Because they stopped having wild sex.
Copy !req
144. - Ken's wife won't give him a blow job.
- Is that supposed to make me feel better?
Copy !req
145. He'll never leave his wife for you.
They never do.
Copy !req
146. Thank God. Who needs the trouble?
No muss, no fuss.
Copy !req
147. - Sounds like you're selling toilet cleaner.
- Does this colour turn you on?
Copy !req
148. Miranda was certainly determined.
Copy !req
149. - It's a little bit orange.
- There's only one thing left to do.
Copy !req
150. - What, leave him before he leaves me?
- You kidding? Check out the ex.
Copy !req
151. Charlotte was right. We don't really know
the people we sleep with.
Copy !req
152. After all,
what did I know about Mr Big?
Copy !req
153. Except he had an ex-wife named Barbara
who worked in publishing.
Copy !req
154. My plan was to pitch her
a steamy bodice-ripping paperback.
Copy !req
155. She'd probably reject it, but I'd get
five minutes face-to-face with her.
Copy !req
156. Carrie?
Copy !req
157. Come right in.
Barbara's ready for you.
Copy !req
158. Thanks, bye.
Carrie Bradshaw. I am so excited.
Copy !req
159. Sit down. I am a huge fan of your work.
Copy !req
160. Good taste and beautiful.
Could it get worse?
Copy !req
161. Special Olympics chairwoman.
Copy !req
162. Sorry. I haven't hung it yet.
So, I'm dying to hear your pitch.
Copy !req
163. I never knew you were interested
in writing children's books.
Copy !req
164. Well, who doesn't
love children's books?
Copy !req
165. Five minutes of bodice-ripping
material wasted.
Copy !req
166. So I did what any writer would do.
I pulled an idea out of my ass.
Copy !req
167. Well, my story
is about a little girl...
Copy !req
168. named Cathy. Little Cathy.
Copy !req
169. And what makes Little Cathy special?
Copy !req
170. Well, she's got these magic...
Copy !req
171. cigarettes.
Copy !req
172. She has magic cigarettes?
Copy !req
173. Yes, Little Cathy
and her magic cigarettes.
Copy !req
174. Whenever she lights up,
she can go anywhere in the world.
Copy !req
175. You know... Arabia, New Jersey.
Copy !req
176. I mean that stuff is all
gonna be worked out, of course.
Copy !req
177. You wanna write
a children's book about smoking?
Copy !req
178. It's a children's book for adults.
Copy !req
179. - You are outrageous. I love it!
- I thought you might.
Copy !req
180. I've been dying to do something
with an edge. This could be great.
Copy !req
181. It was the last straw. She was smart,
beautiful, and she got me.
Copy !req
182. I'd have to kill her.
Copy !req
183. Samantha was about to have
a close encounter with the third kind.
Copy !req
184. - Oh, sorry.
- I'm sorry... Ken!
Copy !req
185. - Sam.
- You two know each other?
Copy !req
186. - Sure.
- Not really.
Copy !req
187. Ruth, this is Samantha.
She bought some pinot noir from me.
Copy !req
188. - Sam, this is my wife, Ruth.
- Hi.
Copy !req
189. - Hi.
- OK, we should be going. See ya.
Copy !req
190. That afternoon Samantha successfully
screwed a guy in under two minutes.
Copy !req
191. The more Miranda analysed,
the worse her nightmares got.
Copy !req
192. So the four of us get into a cab,
only they won't let me sit with them.
Copy !req
193. They make me sit with the driver,
who's like Chris from The Partridge Family.
Copy !req
194. You're still very upset about being
sexually rejected by your friends.
Copy !req
195. Let me ask you something.
Copy !req
196. Would you do
a threesome with me?
Copy !req
197. I think we need
to talk about why you're asking me.
Copy !req
198. That's a "no"?
Copy !req
199. That night, I thought I could put the whole
Barbara thing out of my mind.
Copy !req
200. After all, Mr Big was with me now.
Copy !req
201. Nibbling his ear lobes? How sweet.
Copy !req
202. Let me show you
how it's really done.
Copy !req
203. So, I guess you can't avoid a threesome,
someone's always been there before you.
Copy !req
204. What just happened? Where'd you go?
Copy !req
205. - Preoccupied.
- No kidding. About what?
Copy !req
206. Your ex-wife's breasts,
your ex-wife's lips, your ex-wife's long legs.
Copy !req
207. My column.
Copy !req
208. I didn't tell you I was married
because it was a long time ago.
Copy !req
209. - What happened?
- Alienation of affection, then divorce.
Copy !req
210. Let's not talk about
the past, please.
Copy !req
211. What Mr Big didn't realise was
the past was sleeping right next to me.
Copy !req
212. The next day the flesh
and blood Barbara asked me to lunch.
Copy !req
213. - Hi. Thanks for meeting me.
- Oh, thanks for inviting me.
Copy !req
214. You changed your hair.
Copy !req
215. Oh, thanks.
Copy !req
216. - Listen I have some news.
- I'm back with Mr Big!
Copy !req
217. The head guys
didn't go for Little Cathy.
Copy !req
218. They wouldn't know
a good book if it bit 'em in the ass.
Copy !req
219. - Yeah, fuck 'em.
- I still love the project,
Copy !req
220. and at the risk of sounding like a groupie,
I'd really like to become friends.
Copy !req
221. Friends?
Copy !req
222. Two hours later,
I was sleeping with the enemy.
Copy !req
223. - So, never married?
- Once. A long time ago.
Copy !req
224. - Really? What happened?
- He had a wandering eye.
Copy !req
225. It wandered over
to my best friend.
Copy !req
226. So, what about you?
Are you seeing anyone?
Copy !req
227. No one special.
Copy !req
228. For Samantha,
the shit was about to hit the phone.
Copy !req
229. - Hello.
- It's over. I told my wife!
Copy !req
230. - Who is this?
- It's Ken.
Copy !req
231. - Wait. You told Ruth about us?
- I'm in love with you.
Copy !req
232. - Now we can be together.
- No, no, no, no, no, no.
Copy !req
233. Hang on.
Copy !req
234. - Hello.
- Samantha?
Copy !req
235. This is Ruth Scheer... Ken's wife.
Copy !req
236. - Yeah, I found your number.
- Hang on.
Copy !req
237. - Listen to me. You love your wife.
- No, I'm in love with you!
Copy !req
238. No, no, no, no.
Copy !req
239. Sam's no muss, no fuss affair
was starting to feel very mussy.
Copy !req
240. - I'm back.
- I don't know who you are,
Copy !req
241. but Ken and I love each other very much.
Copy !req
242. - Of course you do.
- And we have an unshakable bond.
Copy !req
243. I'm going to keep this marriage together.
Copy !req
244. Good for you!
Listen, Ruth this was a huge mistake.
Copy !req
245. - It didn't mean anything. It was just sex.
- Exactly.
Copy !req
246. And if being sexually adventuresome
will keep this marriage together,
Copy !req
247. then I am prepared to join you...
Copy !req
248. with him... in bed.
Copy !req
249. Oh, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no.
Copy !req
250. Samantha was a guest star.
Series regular was not in her contract.
Copy !req
251. That night at the attention deficit ball,
Copy !req
252. Charlotte felt free
to indulge her fantasy.
Copy !req
253. It's amazing what some sequins
on a stick can do to free up inhibitions.
Copy !req
254. Who here is your type?
Copy !req
255. - Do you like peacocks?
- Do you?
Copy !req
256. Then Charlotte did the unthinkable.
Copy !req
257. Oh, my God.
Oh, my God. She winked at me.
Copy !req
258. - Excellent.
- I need to get out of here.
Copy !req
259. - Hey, you OK?
- Yeah, yeah, I think so.
Copy !req
260. - So, how'd it feel?
- Weird.
Copy !req
261. Well, I enjoyed it.
Copy !req
262. - I do have another fantasy.
- What's that?
Copy !req
263. Doing it upstairs at a party.
Copy !req
264. Can I join you?
Copy !req
265. She realised that this was her moment.
Copy !req
266. If she was gonna
take the plunge, it was now or never.
Copy !req
267. Unfortunately,
it was Jack who plunged first.
Copy !req
268. Apparently someone else's fire
was stronger than Charlotte's.
Copy !req
269. She was not the guest star
in this fantasy.
Copy !req
270. Meanwhile,
at a bar downtown...
Copy !req
271. - Miranda?
- Hi.
Copy !req
272. What a relief.
Copy !req
273. Most of the women
who answered our ad, well,
Copy !req
274. you know, they were kind of...
Copy !req
275. - Butt ugly.
- Oh, nothing like you.
Copy !req
276. - Thanks.
- We've never done this before.
Copy !req
277. It's a huge fantasy of Mark's.
I offered to do it for his 30th birthday.
Copy !req
278. Whatever happened to giving a nice pen?
Copy !req
279. So are you doing anything tonight?
Copy !req
280. Let me just be clear.
You want to do a threesome with me.
Copy !req
281. If you're busy, we understand.
Copy !req
282. I tell you what.
Let me make a quick phone call, OK?
Copy !req
283. That night Miranda finally
got her validation.
Copy !req
284. Her shrink had suggested
she comes three times a week.
Copy !req
285. I didn't see Mr Big for eight days.
Copy !req
286. - Well, that was a great meal.
- Yeah, it was.
Copy !req
287. Actually, the food was terrible
and we were like strangers.
Copy !req
288. - What is wrong?
- Look. You tell me you have an ex-wife.
Copy !req
289. You tell me you guys had a three-way.
Yes, I asked.
Copy !req
290. But you drop this bomb,
but you don't give me any details.
Copy !req
291. You don't even tell me
why you broke up.
Copy !req
292. - I cheated on her.
- Yeah, I know. She told me at lunch.
Copy !req
293. I know you know.
She told me she told you.
Copy !req
294. She told you?
See, that's another thing.
Copy !req
295. You didn't tell me
that you're still talking.
Copy !req
296. - I still talk to all my ex-wives.
- I'm so not finding that funny.
Copy !req
297. Listen, wait a minute.
Copy !req
298. We had the threesome because
we were both looking for someone else.
Copy !req
299. Do you know anyone
who's right for me?
Copy !req
300. And then it was
just the two of us.
Copy !req
301. And I realised the real
appeal of the threesome: It was easy.
Copy !req
302. It's intimacy that's the bitch.
Copy !req
