Miranda Hobbes
- Carrie: [on the phone] I can't believe it's been so long. I've been meaning to call you, I've just been...
- Miranda Hobbes: Fucking your brains out?
- Carrie: Yeah, well, that's the least of it.
- [Talking about oral sex]
- Charlotte York: The truth is, I hate doing it.
- Samantha Jones: Honey, you can't be serious!
- Miranda Hobbes: Are you telling us you never perform this act?
- Carrie: She'll juggle, she'll spin plates, but she won't give head.
- Charlotte York: I don't like putting it in my mouth! I have a very sensitive gag reflex and it makes me want to puke!
- Miranda Hobbes: That's one way to say no.
- Charlotte York: It's not like I haven't tried. I practiced on a banana, I pretended it was a Popsicle, but... I just don't like it.
- Miranda Hobbes: Personally, I'm loving it, up to the point where the guy wants me to swallow.
- Carrie: Well that's just, that's really a judgment call.
- Samantha Jones: Some men just take it so personally if you don't.
- Miranda Hobbes: Some guys don't give you a choice!
- Carrie: Well that's just bad behavior.
- Charlotte York: Are you honestly telling me you like it?
- Carrie: Well, it's not my favorite thing on the menu, but you know, I'll order it from time to time, and, with the right guy, it can be nice.
- Miranda Hobbes: Oral sex is like God's gift to women. - You can get off without worrying about getting pregnant.
- Samantha Jones: Plus the sense of power is such a turn-on, maybe you're on your knees, but you got him by the balls.
- Charlotte York: You see, that is the reason that I don't want to go down this road.
- Carrie: Well sweetheart, if you're gonna get all choked up about it...
- [Carrie and Miranda exchange looks about the pun]
- Carrie: , just don't do it, don't do it!
- Miranda Hobbes: But if you don't go down on him, how can you expect him to go down on you?
- Charlotte York: I don't.
- Miranda Hobbes: Oh, well, forget it! I only give head to get head!
- Samantha Jones: Me, too.
- Carrie: [voice over narration] There were so many questions I wanted him to answer, but would not ask. Not tonight at least. No, tonight I would ask Miranda.
- [to Miranda]
- Carrie: He said, "I miss you, baby." Do you think that was meant to be some kind of coded mea culpa?
- Miranda Hobbes: You mean like what he really meant was, "I've been a complete idiot. Please forgive me for having dinner with that other woman."?
- Carrie: Exactly.
- Miranda Hobbes: Could be.
- Carrie: Well no, because that would mean that everything he ever said that I interpreted as sincere is subject to interpretation, and in that case, what I perceive as his feelings for me may only really be reflected projections of my feelings for him.
- Miranda Hobbes: What?
- Carrie: Oh God, I'm freaking. I've gotta stop. Stop.
