[Charlotte is trying to decide whether to have anal sex with a man she's dating]
Miranda Hobbes : It all depends . How much do you like him?
Charlotte : A lot.
Miranda Hobbes : "Dating a few months until somebody better comes along a lot", or "marrying him and moving to the East Hampton" a lot?
Charlotte : I don't know. I'm not sure.
Miranda Hobbes : Well, you better get sure real quick.
Charlotte : You're scaring me.

Carrie : Shouldn't we be dating men our own age?
Miranda Hobbes : Good luck finding one. There are no available men in their thirties in New York. Giuliani had them removed along with the homeless.
Carrie : So, then what's really going on here? I mean, is it younger, younger men feel safer?
Miranda Hobbes : What's really going on here is sex. Good old-fashioned, eager to please, do what I tell you to, Eagle Scout sex.
Carrie : Yeah, but I'm not having sex. It's a kissing thing.
Miranda Hobbes : So, what's the big deal? It's just a fling. It's not like we're throwing out our schedules or anything.

Carrie : Alright, so officially he's late.
Charlotte : Who?
Miranda Hobbes : Mr. Big, who else?
Charlotte : Carrie, that's great! Is it a date?
Carrie : No, he called it a "thing". He said, meet me... meet me for a drink "thing". He never used the "D" word.
Charlotte : Well, "thing" is good. I mean, "thing" comes before date.

Miranda Hobbes : Where did Skipper go?
Charlotte : I don't know how you can date that younger guy? I mean, they're so scattered and unfocused.
Miranda Hobbes : We're not dating, it's a fuck thing.

[Miranda takes the phone]
Miranda Hobbes : Alright.
Carrie : [narrating voiceover] Sometimes, you need a second opinion; with doctors, real estate... men!
[to Miranda]
Carrie : Well?
Miranda Hobbes : I have no idea. And I finished first in my litigation class.
