Charlotte York quotes from Sex and the City

Miranda

Orgasm, major thing in a relationship?

Charlotte

Yeah, but not the only thing. Orgasms don't send you Valentine's Day cards and don't hold your hand in a sad movie.

Carrie

Mine do.

Charlotte

Everyone needs a man. That's why I rent. If you own and he still rents, then the power structure is all off. It's emasculating. Men don't want a woman who's too self-sufficient.

Samantha

I'm sorry, did someone just order a Victorian straight up?

Carrie

So how was the sex?

Charlotte

Amazing! It was like Liz was looking over us, giving us her blessing.

Carrie

A threesome in absentia.

Charlotte

I mean, my hat blew right into her headstone. She was clearly sending a message.

Miranda

Yeah, "don't fuck my husband, you hat-loving bitch."

Samantha

Men cheat for the same reason that dogs lick their balls: Because they can. It's part of their biology. Instead of wasting all this energy condemning it, maybe it's time we all got in line with the reality of the situation.

Carrie

Well, that sounds very empowering, but you're forgetting one important detail.

Miranda

God, I hope so.

Carrie

Women cheat.

Charlotte

Yeah, but it's completely different.

Samantha

How?

Charlotte

'Cause we don't go around randomly attacking any man that we're attracted to.

Samantha

Speak for yourself.

Charlotte

We're not driven by testosterone.

Carrie

Then what does drive us according to you?

Charlotte

Emotions.

Samantha

You mean hormones.

Charlotte

No. I mean that little voice inside of me that says, "Mate for life! Mate for life!"

Samantha

Sweetheart, you can't go listening to every fucking little voice that runs through your head. It'll drive you nuts.

Charlotte

It's love at first sight.

Samantha

Oh, honey, this isn't love. This is about two people justifying a week of non-stop fucking.

Miranda

On my furniture! I have to redecorate.

Charlotte

I just don't understand. How could you forget someone you slept with?

Carrie

Toto, I don't think we're in single digits anymore.

Carrie

You've never seen an uncircumcised one?

Charlotte

I'm from Connecticut!

Samantha

All I'm saying is, uncut men are the best. They try harder. I should know. I've slept with five of them.

Charlotte

Out of how many?

Carrie

Infinity.

Carrie

[about Big] Now I've laid down the gauntlet. He either has to say "I love you" back or I guess I'm gonna have to break up with him.

Charlotte

Well, how long are you gonna give him?

Carrie

Well, I didn't put an expiration date on the sentiment, but I figure it's got the shelf life of a dairy product. It's gonna start to curdle in about a week.

Samantha

You know, it's so interesting. You can tell a man, "I hate you", you'll have the best sex of your life. But tell him, "I love you", you'll probably never see him again.

Miranda

When single men have a lot of money, it works to their advantage, but when a single woman has money, it's a problem you have to deal with. It's ridiculous! I want to enjoy my success, not apologize for it.

Samantha

Bravo, honey! Bravo!

Charlotte

But you're talking about more than a difference in income. You're talking about a difference in background and education. This guy is working class.

Miranda

Working class?!

Charlotte

Yeah.

Carrie

It's the millennium, sweetie. We don't say things like "working class" anymore.

Charlotte

But you're trying to pretend that we live in a classless society, and we don't.

Carrie

Okay, Marie Antoinette, we get the picture.

Samantha

I never leave underwear at a guy's place because I never see it again.

Charlotte

What happens to it?

Samantha

Nothing. I just never go back.

Carrie

Doesn't that get a little expensive, disposing of lingerie every time you sleep with a guy?

Samantha

That's why I stopped wearing underwear on dates.

Miranda

And that's why I'm never borrowing a dress from you again.

Charlotte

I am so confused. Is he gay or is he straight?

Carrie

Well, it's not that simple anymore. The real question is, is he a straight gay man, or is he a gay straight man?

Carrie

[voiceover] The gay straight man was a new strain of heterosexual male spawned in Manhattan as the result of overexposure to fashion, exotic cuisine, musical theater and antique furniture.

Samantha

Oh, hopefully, he's a gay straight man, which means he's straight with a lot of great gay qualities. Whereas a straight gay guy is just a gay guy who plays sports and won't fuck you.

Miranda

You double-booked?

Charlotte

Well, I had to. This one guy was going out of town for three weeks, and the other guy didn't wanna cancel.

Carrie

So, how do you conceive pulling this one off?

Charlotte

Early dinner with bachelor number one, late supper with bachelor number two.

Samantha

My God, you're turning into a man!

Carrie

[voiceover] Apparently Charlotte had done more than break a pattern. She had actually changed genders.

Charlotte

I just don't know how I'm ever gonna eat two dinners in a row.

Carrie

[voiceover] And then, just like that, she was a woman again.

Charlotte

I'm mature enough to realize that while I may be good at some things like... accessories, that I might need help in others like...

Samantha

Fucking?

Charlotte

Making love. So... I'm taking a class.

Samantha

A fucking class?

Charlotte

No, a tantric sex workshop.

Charlotte

It's a really cute three-bedroom cottage and they're giving us a fantastic deal for the month of August.

Carrie

Yeah, of course it's a good deal. It's haunted with cheating boyfriends and sexual rejection.

Samantha

We could always burn sage.
