  • Alison: (to Skipper) You're breaking up with me while you're still inside of me? edit »
  • Carrie: He said, 'I miss you, baby.' Do you think that was meant to be some kind of coded mea culpa?
    Miranda: You mean like what he really meant was, 'I've been a complete idiot, please forgive me for having dinner with that other woman.'
    Carrie: Exactly.
    Miranda: Could be.
    Carrie: Well no, because that would mean that everything he ever said that I interpreted as sincere is subject to interpretation, and in that case, what I perceive as his feelings for me may only really be reflected projections of my feelings for him.
    Miranda: What?
    Carrie: Oh God, I'm freaking. I've gotta stop. edit »
  • Stanford: Monogamy is on its way out again. It had a brief comeback in the 90s, but as the millennium approaches, everyone's leaving their options open.
    Carrie: Come on, you wouldn't commit to a nice guy, given the option?
    Stanford: I can't even commit to a long distance carrier.
    Carrie: Yeah, you know what you are? You're a whore!
    Stanford: I wish that were true. edit »
  • Carrie: Last night, after Michael took Charlotte to the Philharmonic, they went back to his place and began the classic dating ritual... the blow job tug of war. edit »
  • Carrie: As I hung up, I realized I'd committed the cardinal sin...I'd forsaken my girlfriends for my new boyfriend. edit »
