Quotes
-
Carrie : [on the phone] I can't believe it's been so long. I've been meaning to call you, I've just been...
Miranda Hobbes : Fucking your brains out?
Carrie : Yeah, well, that's the least of it.
-
[Talking about oral sex]
Charlotte York : The truth is, I hate doing it.
Samantha Jones : Honey, you can't be serious!
Miranda Hobbes : Are you telling us you never perform this act?
Carrie : She'll juggle, she'll spin plates, but she won't give head.
Charlotte York : I don't like putting it in my mouth! I have a very sensitive gag reflex and it makes me want to puke!
Miranda Hobbes : That's one way to say no.
Charlotte York : It's not like I haven't tried. I practiced on a banana, I pretended it was a Popsicle, but... I just don't like it.
Miranda Hobbes : Personally, I'm loving it, up to the point where the guy wants me to swallow.
Carrie : Well that's just, that's really a judgment call.
Samantha Jones : Some men just take it so personally if you don't.
Miranda Hobbes : Some guys don't give you a choice!
Carrie : Well that's just bad behavior.
Charlotte York : Are you honestly telling me you like it?
Carrie : Well, it's not my favorite thing on the menu, but you know, I'll order it from time to time, and, with the right guy, it can be nice.
Miranda Hobbes : Oral sex is like God's gift to women. - You can get off without worrying about getting pregnant.
Samantha Jones : Plus the sense of power is such a turn-on, maybe you're on your knees, but you got him by the balls.
Charlotte York : You see, that is the reason that I don't want to go down this road.
Carrie : Well sweetheart, if you're gonna get all choked up about it...
[Carrie and Miranda exchange looks about the pun]
Carrie : , just don't do it, don't do it!
Miranda Hobbes : But if you don't go down on him, how can you expect him to go down on you?
Charlotte York : I don't.
Miranda Hobbes : Oh, well, forget it! I only give head to get head!
Samantha Jones : Me, too.

Carrie : [voice over narration] There were so many questions I wanted him to answer, but would not ask. Not tonight at least. No, tonight I would ask Miranda.
[to Miranda]
Carrie : He said, "I miss you, baby." Do you think that was meant to be some kind of coded mea culpa?
Miranda Hobbes : 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 Hobbes : 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 Hobbes : What?
Carrie : Oh God, I'm freaking. I've gotta stop. Stop.
