Great balls of fire!

S04E10

The girls are eating again, and Samantha is bitching about Wright and the fact that he called her "emotional." She thinks that Wright just won’t hire her because she's a woman. Miranda starts to complain that all the men she works with think that the women in the office cry about the smallest things, and then Charlotte bitches about the one time in ten years working at the gallery when she cried, and how after that everyone at the gallery was afraid to get her upset because she might have started crying. Carrie, wearing a thin white tank top and black bra, tells them about the time she missed a deadline, so she went to her editor and cried and told him she was having problems at home when she was really having a fun time in the Hamptons. Miranda thinks Carrie makes women look bad. No kidding. She has been making women look bad for the last season of the show. Samantha then starts the tired old conversation about how men are considered "pistols" if they get angry, and women are considered "emotional" if they act the same way. Yeah, I heard that on Oprah about ten years ago. Get in the now! ["The sad thing is, though, it's still fucking true. Raise your voice two decibels in a meeting and all of a sudden you've got PMS. Feh." -- Sars] Charlotte brings up the crying incident at the gallery again, and Miranda ignores her and joins in on Samantha’s tired conversation about men feeling threatened about strong businesswomen, while Carrie makes tired legal jokes about what Miranda is saying, because, you know, Miranda is a lawyer and all. Samantha decides she is going to be cool, calm, and so unemotional that Wright is going to beg her to take the job. Or fuck him. Whichever comes first (so to speak). Charlotte reminds Samantha not to cry, and Carrie tells them she has to leave so she can get a ride with CIM to the non-country.

Hey, Carrie decided to bring something to read while in the non-country! A magazine! Carrie is a writer, so I knew she'd bring literature to the cabin, but since she has no class, I’m not surprised that it's an Entertainment Weekly wannabe magazine. Carrie is wearing the same outfit she was at the restaurant, and she tells us, "The day, while [CIM] was tearing down the old shed, I was tearing through the latest In Style" that Willow Summers on the cover. I can’t believe she is wearing the same outfit two days in a row. The phone rings, and it's Big. He got the number off her answering machine. That is really sweet of Carrie to give out CIM’s phone number on her answering machine, so that any yahoo can just get his number and call. Big tells Carrie that Willow broke up with him, and he doesn’t know what he did, and she won’t return his calls. He tells Carrie again, "See, she can reach me, but I can’t get her." Again, Carrie has the opportunity to put Big in his place about the way he treated her, but she just tells him that she thinks Willow is crazy. Big then tells her he feels like a fool, and asks her when she will be back in the city. She tells him she will be back Monday, but he can’t stand to wait that long to see her. She opens up a can of worms by mentioning that she would invite him there, but it's so far away. Big asks her how far away, and she tells him it's a forty-minute drive -- with traffic, it can be an hour or so. Yeah, that’s really far away. God forbid someone gets in the car and drives more than thirty miles at one time! All that time sitting in the car with nothing to do but listen to the radio and look at the scenery, for a whole forty minutes. How uncivilized. Big tells her he can get his Jaguar out of the garage and see her for an hour and then come home, and then asks for directions to CIM’s non-country cabin.
