No Ifs, Ands Or Butts

By Nicole

Miranda comes home, and Steve is jumping around bouncing a basketball and he tells her that he was picked to throw a half-court shot at a Knicks game for a million dollar prize, and Miranda just looks at him and tells him not to get his hopes up. Steve wants her to go with him to the playground and watch him shoot, but she tells him she has things to do and will join him week.

Miranda and Carrie are sitting outside a bakery eating pink cupcakes. I would like to know how many takes this took also, because it just goes to show you that SJP is totally favored over all the other actresses because she doesn't have to show boobs or get her nose licked. Carrie tells Miranda that she has a crush, and she bought a chair she couldn't afford because her crush made it. Miranda tells her that since he asked her out, the chair is a write-off. So is the dress she bought to impress Mrs. Big that cost her a month's rent a write-off too, since she eventually felt better about herself after wearing the dress? Can you use these write-offs like a tax write-off? I'm just wondering how Carrie manages to live, considering that she spends about a hundred times more than what she makes on clothes, shoes, and furniture. Miranda tells her that she hasn't had a crush since Shaun Cassidy. Miranda would have been SO jealous of my Shaun Cassidy iron-on sweatshirt and Hardy Boys bell-bottom jeans! Miranda then tells Carrie about Steve and the half-court shot, and tells her she thinks it is a silly dream and she can't support him with it. Carrie asks her if couples are supposed to support each other's silly dreams, and Miranda looks a little guilty.

Samantha is out with Chivon at a club, and Samantha is wearing gold jeans and jean jacket, and some sort of tube bra thing. How urban. Carrie tells us that "within a matter of minutes, Samantha felt perfectly at home in Chivon's world," and within a matter of hours Chivon was perfectly at home in Samantha's house. The two of them are in her bed, listening to rap music and snuggling. She invites him to sleep over, and they start going at it again. Before they really get into it, Samantha puts another notch in her bedpost.

Carrie and CIM are sitting on the stairs of her apartment building talking, and he tells her that his dog is obsessed with her. Eeeeeewwww! She is not fazed by this in the least, and for some reason she feels this is the time to come clean and tell him that she really isn't a designer, that she is a writer and she wanted a discount on the chair. She takes out a cigarette and lights up, and CIM is all, "You smoke?" like he couldn't smell the stale smoke all over her clothes and hair the moment he stood to her in the furniture store? She tells him "just a little." And then VOs, "The moment I heard the lie come out of my mouth I realized just how much I kind of liked him." Yeah, because lies are the backbone of a healthy relationship. Not. So she throws away the cigarette and tells him she had a great time. He kisses her and then pulls away, tells her that he can taste the cigarette, and says in a monotone voice, "I don't want to be a jerk, but I can't date a smoker." ["I'm loving that this anti-smoking tirade is coming from a guy who looks and acts like his every other breath is filtered through bongwater." - owen] Carrie looks hurt and VOs that she was crushed by her crush. That's why they're called crushes, Carrie. All this time talking and writing about sex, and she never learned about simple crushes?
