"Carrie, shut the hell up with the food talk!" "There's no way it was the quiche!" "That sucker was perfect." "(Thud) Then what did we eat that's turning my stomach into a pit of hell?" "Well, I may have misled you about the origins of that caviar." "What... are you saying?" "Let's just say it's not exactly from the Caspian Sea." "Where is it from?" "Coney Island." "(Cries)" "I bought it off the back of a truck, along with 300 fake Rolexes." "What?" "Wait." "You did this to us?" "I blame the Russian." "He assured me it was perfectly safe." "(Stomach rumbles)" "(Scoffs) What a liar." "He's probably not even a real Russian." "Ooh, I'm gonna kill you!" "Just..." "Right after I... (Groans)" "(Breathy voice) There." "All better?" "Can you please not say it in your sexy nurse voice?" "You." "Look..." " I'm really sorry." " Oh, are you?" "Are you really sorry that I didn't get to tell Professor Tenley what the next step is for me as a writer?" "Did you know I threw up three times in the middle of my interview today?" "Three... once on her desk, once on her lap, and once on her shoes, which looked Italian." "The smell of vomit..." "It was... it was everywhere." "It was everywhere." "What do you mean interview?" "I thought you went to get closer to Bryan Adams." "(Sighs) No." "I lied and didn't tell you were I was going, which was to an interview that could've changed my life because I am a wuss." "(Sighs)" "I think I'll just let you two work things out while I..." "No, I am not done with you." "(Telephone rings) Don't even touch that phone." "You are not talking to the spanker right now." "Even this wuss has her limits, and you have reached them. (Ring)" "You don't even care that you've been living in someone else's place, where I am a guest, when you were only supposed to stay a few days." "And now you've taken over Larissa's apartment and made my life miserable." "So why don't you take your tainted caviar and get the hell out of here?" "Um, I'm not sure it was the caviar." "What?" "Well, these are the eggs I used for the quiche, and they expired on June 15th." "I found them in the refrigerator." "Those are Larissa's eggs, from before she left two months ago." "We've barely opened the fridge since we've been here." "Well, then..." "Oops." "(Billy Ocean) ♪ Suddenly" "♪ life has new meaning to me" "♪ there's beauty up above" "♪ and things we never take notice of ♪" "(Moans)" "♪ You wake up, and suddenly" "♪ you're in love" "I can't do this." "What's wrong?" "I c..." "I-I can't have sex when I know that there is a sink full of brie-encrusted dirty dishes in the next room." "I know that doesn't make any sense, but it's driving me crazy." "(Chuckles) Uh-huh." "So there it is..." "my dirty little secret." "I hate dirty dishes." "I know." "I'm nuts." "Yeah, a little." "But, uh, um, it just so happens that insanity provoked by dirty dishes is exactly the kind that I like." "♪ There's beauty up above if you help me finish them, we can get back to this couch faster." "Deal." "All right." "Okay. (Chuckles)" "Go." "Go." "♪ You wake up, suddenly" "♪ you're in love ugh." "Samantha, I'm so sorry." "Oh, honey, the apologies can wait until after you're..." "done." "I think I am." "Finally." "You need this." "Trust me." "If you wanted me to move out, why didn't you say so?" "(Swishing mouthwash)" "I'm mind-blowingly fabulous, but I'm not a mind reader." "(Spits)" "I know." "I should've just told you in the first place, just like I should've told Walt about my stupid interview." "I could've avoided all of this." "It's like being in bed with a man..." "You can't get what you want unless you ask for it." "But now you're gonna be homeless." "Oh." "Don't worry about where I'm gonna live." "This is actually a much better send-off than I'm used to." "My mom used to kick me out" " whenever a new boyfriend would move in." " That's terrible." "Mm." "She's the type of woman who always puts men first." "But you're not like that, Carrie." "You're a girl's girl." "That's why I like you." "So... we're still friends?" "Honey, of course." "We have to stay friends." "We wear the same size underwear." "I don't even wanna know how you know that." "Just make me one promise." "From now on, give it to me straight, for your own good and mine." "I promise." "And to that point, you better not be leaving with any of my underwear." "(Chuckles)" "(Knock on door)" "Who could that be?" "I'll get it. (Grunts)" "I called the super." "You guys clogged all the pipes." "(Groans)" "(Lowered voice) It's not the super." "It's Sebastian." "(Mouths word)" "Let's make ourselves scarce." "(Sprays)" "You know what you have to do." "You have to tell him how you feel." "(Sniffs)" "(Exhales deeply)" "Hi." "Hi." "Wow." "What happened here?" "It's a very, very long story that I am physically unable to recount without dire consequences." "That sounds bad." "Is there anything I can do?" "You can tell me why you're here." "Oh." "I'm not exactly sure." "Uh..." "Just been going through stuff with my dad, and..." "I just..." "I just wanted to see you." "To see me?" "Talk to you." "About what?" "I don't know." "Us?" "There's nothing to talk about." "Come on." "You must have stuff you wanna say to me." "I don't." " Carrie, I know that's not true." " I don't want to talk to you because I don't think you wanna hear what I have to say." "You're wrong." "Whatever you have to say, I deserve it." "Yes, you do." " Okay, so just say it." " Fine." "You broke me." "You broke my heart." "And I hate you because I still love you." "And I hate myself even more for it." "You happy?" "I think you should go." "I'm sorry." "(Door opens)" "Expressing my feelings to Sebastian only made me feel worse." "(Door closes)" "But another couple found expressing themselves brought them even closer." "Ooh." "Ugh." "It's kinda crusty." " Mnh." " Does that freak you out?" " Get it away from me. (Laughs)" " Huh?" "Have you ever considered consulting a doctor about your dish-order?" "You're lucky you're so cute and that I'm so high on Haagen-Dazs, 'cause that's the corniest joke I ever heard." "No, seriously." "We should be proud of ourselves." "We communicated honestly and we were able to avoid what might've been a major dish-aster." "Just wait until I learn one of your weird pet peeves." "You're gonna be waitin' a long time because I don't have any." " Come on." " Seriously." "I'm just not the kind of guy who gets bothered easily." "Especially petty things like..." "Um, wait." "What... why are you putting the bowls on the top?" "'Cause that's where it belongs." "No." "No." "Bowls go on the bottom." "(Bowl clatters) They go on the top." "That's where they fit better." " Bottom." " Top." "Uh-oh." "Is this gonna be a bowl of contention between us?" "(Laughs)" "(Growls)" "♪" "(Man) Yeah, man." "(Siren wailing in distance)" "(Garret) When are you coming back?" "I'm worried sick." "Did the car break down?" "The car's fine, dad." "And I am, too, by the way." "Well, then get home." "The shippers are coming to pick up that car tonight." "Dad, hear me out for a sec." "What if we don't sell the car?" "I mean, remember how we used to dream of having one of these?" " Maybe we could..." " No, that's ridiculous." "Don't be a spoiled snot." "And bring the car back here." "What, that brand-new Porsche that you tool around in isn't enough?" "Dad, it's not about the car." "No, it's not about the car." "It's about doing what I say." "Now just get that car back here, please." "(Indistinct conversations)" "(Coins clatter)" "(Starts engine)" "(Revs engine)" "Sebastian couldn't tell his father how he really felt..." "That for him, it wasn't just a car." "It was a reminder of a time when they were close." "(Engine idling)" "Man, check this out." "And while Sebastian was keeping his feelings inside and acting out, the next morning, Walt decided it was time to open up." "Where is everybody?" "They went to get some fresh air and escape the House of Horrors." "That's probably a good idea." "(Horns honking in distance)" "Penny for your thoughts." "Or, uh, do I not want to know?" "(Sighs)" "I want you to know." "I wanna be with you, even though there are no guarantees." "Are you sure?" "Watching Carrie with Sebastian," "I realized even when you make promises, things can go wrong, straight or gay." "I wanted an exclusive relationship because it felt safe to me, but the truth is, there's no guarantee it will work out, no matter how we define it." "And at least what I feel with you is finally real." "I'm not hiding." "I wanna see what this is." "I guess the question is, do you?" "I do." "Uh..." "Don't worry." "I-I just brushed my teeth." "(Laughs)" "(Laughs)" " Me, too." " Good." "(Bag thuds)" " Hey, you." " Mm." "Ah." "How was your weekend, huh?" "Do you have something you need to tell me?" "Well, I guess you heard about my interview." "I sure did." "Professor Tenley told me that she was extremely impressed." "Wait." "She what?" "She couldn't believe that you showed up, given your obvious illness, and she thinks that that kind of dedication deserves a second chance." "So she wants you to call her office and set up another interview." "(Gasps) I can't believe it." "You didn't tell me that you were sick." "What happened?" "Are you okay?" "Oh, I got food poisoning." "How?" "What happened?" "Mm." "Can I tell you the gruesome details later?" "I'm still a little..." "fragile." "Got it." "All right, well, can I interest you in Sunday dinner?" "As long as it's not quiche or caviar." "It will definitely not be that." "I guarantee it." "Um... (Imitates French accent) Since it is just the two of us, eh, how about..." "Frozen waffles?" "Mmm." "With butter?" "Pfft." "Perfect." "(Big Country's "In A Big Country" playing)" "♪ And in a big country" "Why are the bowls on top?" "Maple syrup." "Where do we..." "Yeah, down here."
