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 theatre and antique furniture.
Vaughn: Hey, GQ called.
Carrie: Really? They want you to write something?
Vaughn: No, they want me to wear something. It's great to be a writer these days. There's so little writing involved.
Carrie: Just don't be photographed in anything sleeveless. No one who went sleeveless ever won a Pulitzer.
Carrie: There is no way that the love that I had with Big is the same thing that he has with Natasha.
Miranda: "Natasha"? When did you stop calling her "the idiot stick figure with no soul"?
Samantha: From my experience, honey, if he seems too good to be true—he probably is.
Miranda, <to Carrie, who's listening to an answering machine message from Big>: We could analyze this for years and never know, I mean, they still don't know who killed Kennedy.
Carrie: Charlotte was thrilled. Anthony was like the pushy Italian mother she never had.
<Carrie is having trouble driving a stick-shift car.>
Miranda: Why didn't you just get an automatic?
Carrie: I love this car! It goes with my outfit.
Carrie: So are you saying there's no way you'd go out with a guy who lived with his family?
Samantha: Well... maybe Prince William.
Carrie: You just caught us a little off guard with the lesbian thing.
Samantha: That's just a label, like Gucci or Versace.
Carrie: Or Birkenstock.
Samantha <on the Hermes Birken bag>: Oh honey, it's not so much the style, it's what carrying it means!
Carrie: It means you're out four thousand bucks.
Charlotte: I can't believe you took ecstasy from a stranger!
Samantha: It's not a stranger, it was a friend of my friend Bobby's friend Bobby.
Miranda: Oh, well then we know it's safe. Will we be going to a rave later?
Carrie: I've spent $40,000 on shoes and I have no place to live? I will literally be the old woman who lived in her shoes!
Carrie: So you're a pessimist, right?
Miranda: Have we met?
