Sex and the City quotes

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.

Carrie

It's about the fact that I wasn't even a factor in his decision-making process.

Miranda

Totally.

Samantha

Men do this all the time. Women walk around thinking "we." And their version of "we" is "me and my dick."

Carrie

[voiceover] After we made love I knew it was over. Did I ever really love Big, or was I addicted to the pain? The exquisite pain of wanting someone so unattainable.

Carrie

Hey, I don't need therapy. I need new friends.

Samantha

Look, we're as fucked-up as you are. It's like the blind leading the blind.

Samantha

The only place you can control a man is in bed. If we perpetually gave men blow jobs, we could run the world!

Carrie

And at least our hands would be free to greet dignitaries and stuff.

Samantha

Carrie, you can't date your fuck buddy.

Carrie

Say it a little louder. I don't think the old lady in the last row heard you.

Samantha

You're gonna take the only person in your life that's there purely for sex, no strings attached, and turn him into a human being? Why?

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.

Samantha

I fucked a guy once because his family had a pool. He was pretty much a nerd, but I'd go over there and get all cocoa-buttered up. His mom loved me. She was always serving me Kool-Aid and chips.

Carrie

Kool-Aid?

Samantha

Yeah, Kool-Aid. I was 13. And honey, you should have seen my tan.

Charlotte

[to Samantha, after discovering she had slept with Charlotte's brother Wesley] Is your vagina in the New York City guidebooks? Because it should be, it's the hottest spot in town! It's always open!

Carrie

[voiceover; about her date who wouldn't kiss her] I couldn't figure it out. I knew he wanted me because during my lean-in-and-kiss-me-good-night move, I accidentally on purpose felt his pop-up-and-say-hello.

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.

Carrie

[voiceover] And then I realized, twenty-something girls are just fabulous, until you see one with the man who broke your heart.

Samantha

I'm telling you, Carrie, it was like a wall of flesh coming at me!

Carrie

There's nothing scarier than a really big one coming at you.

Samantha

I didn't even wanna get my mouth near it, I was afraid I'd get lockjaw. I mean, it was quite a shock. His hands are relatively tiny.

Carrie

Oh, don't tell me you believe that.

Samantha

Not anymore! I am really gonna have to psych myself up before I try it again.

Carrie

You're gonna try it again? Why?

Samantha

Because it's there!

Carrie

Sweetie, it's a penis, not Mount Everest.

Carrie

[voiceover] Then I had a thought: Maybe I didn't break Big. Maybe the problem was he couldn't break me. Maybe some women aren't meant to be tamed. Maybe they need to run free, until they find someone just as wild to run with.
