(Carrie) Before there was sex,
before there was the city,
there was just me... Carrie. Carrie Bradshaw.
It's 1984. Ronald Reagan and shoulder pads
were all the rage. I'm trying to figure out
who I am with the help of my family,
my best friends, a sexy new guy...
Did your father say why he won't let you date Sebastian?
Ah, he's probably just being overprotective.
This isn't gonna happen. What do you mean?
Us. You and me.
And a hot new city.
Your life is just so... Exotic.
Honestly, Carrie, it's like you've never had sex.
Well, compared to you, it feels like I haven't.
Well, you let me know if this bad boy of yours
doesn't work out.
I've got 40 more I can introduce you to when we next go out.
Figuring out who I was and finding my voice
wasn't going to be easy,
but I was pretty sure it was going to be a lot of fun.
("Somebody's watching me" playing)
(Carrie) The scariest thing about High School...
When someone breaks your heart,
it's such a small place that you can't avoid them.
It's ironic.
The time in your life when you're least capable
of managing your emotions is the same time
you're locked up for eight hours a day
with the people responsible for those emotions
in the first place.
It was like I was living in my own personal horror film...

It's like he's everywhere.
Who knew this school was so small?
Me. When Maggie and I broke up, I darted around every corner
like she might be waiting there to throw something at me.
Luckily, she ended up being pretty cool about it.
Well, the same cannot be said for me.
It's hard, but it'll get better, I promise.
How soon?
Soon-ish. Even with Maggie,
I feel like things are still loaded sometimes.
Like today.
Halloween was a holiday we always did together.
I'm worried she might be sad.
I think she's okay.
And I'm just selfishly glad I get you tonight.
Me, too! I can't wait to go Larissa's party.
Thanks for asking me.
(Sebastian) It starts at, like, 8:00.
Lots of liquor, no costumes. All right?
(Lowered voice) Oh. We need to turn around now.
Carrie. Sebastian.
Walt. Sebastian.
Looks like we all know each other's names,
so that's good.
(Walt chuckles)
(Chuckles)
So you got any, uh, special plans for tonight? Nah.
Wow. 'Cause I just heard you invite someone to a party...
Assuming one you're having.
We should go.
No, it's... it's fine.
Walt and I are going to a party tonight in the city,
so I don't care.
Just... think it's weird you didn't invite me.
Would you have wanted me to?
Well, would have been polite.
Look, Carrie, it wouldn't have been polite.
Would've just been awkward.
We both know that. Yeah.
Just trying to be honest.
Of course. Right.
Um... well, we should go.
I can't believe Sebastian's renting out the diner
for a Halloween party.
I can't even escape him in here.
(Sighs) If he had any decency, he'd switch schools.
Yes, he would. Selfish jerk. Seriously.
Wait. I'm confused.
You guys don't even feel a little bad for Sebastian?
Um, no. Why would we?
Because Carrie snooped
through all his private legal files
and told us all that he slept with his teacher?
Walt, this is what we do. We get our hearts broken,
and then we demonize the guys who broke up with us.
Don't worry. I'm not bad-mouthing you yet.
Um... thanks? You're welcome.
(Chuckles) I know I made a mistake,
and I wanted to talk to Sebastian about it,
except he was like, "discussion's over. I'm out""
I mean, is it my fault he wouldn't even talk about it?
And what kind of a guy does that? A jerk. That's what kind.
I say good riddance. If you were still dating Sebastian,
you'd have to spend Halloween with him.
Now you are footloose and fancy-free.
And you totally loved "footloose."
(Chuckles) You know what?
This is the first Halloween I've looked forward to in years.
I've always had to take care of Dorrit
and keep her from doing something crazy,
but not tonight. Tonight you and I are going
to Larissa's Halloween party. In soho.
And we're not gonna think about selfish boys
or delinquent little sisters
or any of our responsibilities.
We're just gonna have an incredible time...
Yeah. And think about ourselves.
It's going to be nothing but fun.
So what are you two going as? Let's just say
I have a costume that is to "di" for.
(Camera shutter clicks) My little princess Di.
Okay, one more. (Click)
(Camera shutter clicks)
(Sighs) Well, I'm glad you're finally getting a night
out on the town, but I am a little sad
that you won't be taking Dorrit trick-or-treating this year.
Dad, Dorrit hasn't gone trick-or-treating in years.
Really?
Well, I guess I miss out on a lot,
being the candy man at home. Yeah.
Like me chasing Dorrit around town,
trying to stop her from T.P.-Ing our principal's house.
That is a tradition... Of sorts.
Super fun one.
Well, it's nice to see you maintaining
a tradition of your own... Dressing up as Chewbacca
and handing out the goods to kids.
You're Chewbacca every year?
It was an expensive costume.
Besides, I spent a long time getting the roar just right. (Door opens)
(Imitates Chewbacca's roar)
Lame.
Oh! Dorrit, get in the picture.
That way, I can get all of you in your Halloween costumes.
This isn't a costume.
Oh. Well...
Then how about for old times' sake, huh? Sweetie?
Halloween is stupid.
(Sighs) So I take it you won't be going out tonight.
Do I look like a loser?
I'll be in my room.
Okay.
Well, this will be fun.
As my last responsible act before I leave,
I should tell you that I know that look,
and she's so going out, and it's not gonna be pretty.
(Chuckles) Dad, I'm serious.
I'd start checking the closets.
Make sure she's not hiding anything
she could use to blow up Castlebury.
(Thud)
You wanna tell me what you were planning on doing
with all this?
I've never seen that stuff before.
Maybe it's Carrie's?
Okay.
All right, then you won't mind that I'm taking it
or that I moved the ladder from outside your window.
Looks like you're in for the night.

And while Dorrit's chances of escape were dwindling...
Mine were looking good.

Uh... I think we're a little overdressed.
Too fancy?
No. Too much clothing.
There we were, at a real downtown New York party.
I was starting to feel like a princess,
escaping my life of responsibility in the suburbs.
And just like that,
prince charming entered into the story.
Lady Diana Spencer, I presume?
You didn't hear? I'm a princess now.
Well, princess,
I am the unofficial welcoming committee. Take this.

Oh. (Laughs) Sorry. Bennet wilcox, anglophile

But then again, isn't gorgeous enough?
Well, for me, it is.
By the way, I just love your ironic spin
on the whole fairy tale princess thing. It's brilliant.
Especially since everyone knows that marriage
is one of convenience.
What do you mean? Oh, you know.
Charles only married lady Di because he needed someone royal.
But a friend of mine who knows the duchess of Kent... mwah...
Who is a bitch... tells me the prince is still hung up
on some lady from the horsey set.
Camilla Parker...
(Blows raspberry) Something-or-other.
I saw her picture. Not attractive.
I don't get it. That can't be a true story.
Charles and di were meant for each other.

They are party favors, and yes, they're mandatory.
It's ecstasy. The only boring thing about it is it's legal.
But don't let that bother you.

I'd come here to escape,

Hey. What did you do with your pill?
I swallowed it. You didn't? No, I threw it on the floor.
Okay, great. Now I feel really good about this.

Nothing. You're gonna have fun. That's all.
I mean, look at Larissa.
Ooh. Your mane is so delicious.

You're probably gonna have a better time than me tonight.
Maybe I should have taken mine.

Glad to hear it, because this seriously
might be the greatest party either you or I
are invited to in our entire lives,

And as we looked around the party,
I realized there was only one thing missing
for this princess...
A really hot guy named Bennet.
Hey, why don't we find that "hot boites" guy?
What... what's his name?
Bennet wilcox, and you totally remember his name.
Didn't wanna sound overenthusiastic.
Let's go find your prince.
That's exactly what I was thinking.
Although now that I hear it said aloud,
it kinda makes me wanna barf.
Mm.
Turns out, I wasn't the only one feeling that way.
Oh, barf! You wanna go to Sebastian's party?
No way. I can't believe you dragged me over here for this.
What happened to laying low tonight?
Well, I was planning on doing just that
until I realized we totally owe it to Carrie to go.
Are you sure you're not just looking for something to do
because you're bored?
Okay, so... maybe I was a little bit bored,
but if we have some drinks and some fun,
it won't be the end of the world.
If the boy who broke my heart
were to throw a Halloween party,
I'd expect my friends not to go.
You're looking at this wrong.
If we boycott the party, we won't know what's going on.
If something happens with Sebastian,
Carrie won't hear about it from us.
She'll hear about it from someone else.
Is that what you want?
I guess you're right.
But we're Carrie's best friends.
I mean, Sebastian's never gonna let us in.
Hi. What's up? I'm glad you guys could make it.
Come on in.

A little.
I'm jealous. There's nothing better
than watching the act of creation
while under the influence.
So... why don't you tell me a little about you, princess?
I stopped to wonder if I should tell him about the real me.
After all, I'd come here to be a princess for the night
and escape from real life.
That was, until real life came looking for me.
Carrie!
There you are. I need someone cozy and yummy.
It has to be you. Come with me.
Have you been dancing? You're totally sweaty.
'Cause I'm dewy and filled with life! Whoo!

Oh, he won't mind. I'm kind of in the middle of something here,
so I'll just come find you in a little while, okay?
Fine. I'll be over there, looking for bird seed.

You were going to tell me a little bit about yourself.
Right. Well... there's not much to tell, really.

We were talking, and then... I don't know.
He just ran.
I guess I should have ran after him.
I thought about it. I just wasn't sure.
I made a mistake.
I'm sorry.
Yeah.
You're not the only one.
(Sighs) I have to go find Walt.
I can help.
Maybe you should stay here and look after Larissa
while I go out and look for Walt.
I'm a little afraid to leave her alone again.
Sure. Of course.
Thanks.
And you better not take advantage of her while I'm gone,
or I'll come back and seriously hurt you.
You hear me?
(Chuckles)
Oh, honey. She's not my type.
Oh.
Okay, good.
I can go... I guess.
I guess my prince charming wasn't looking
for a princess after all.
All right, everyone quiet down.
I'm gonna need to see everyone's I.D.S.
Look, dude, it's a private party.
Yes, with underage drinking.
Really? That's how you're gonna play this?
Why don't... you give me a minute with officer Bayer?

Mags...
Come on. I get that you don't want me
to bust you and your friends, all right?
But I am just doing my job.
♪ Let's go, let's go
I... can't really do this right now.
What do you mean?
Come on. You of all people should know
this is a really busy night. I can make it busier.
Look, with you not dating someone anymore,
I just don't know if this is a good idea.
Well, it was never a good idea. That's what made it fun.
But it... it's just that things are different now.
Yeah. Now you can have me anytime you want me.
No, Mags,
do you know what would happen if people found out about us?
Your dad would kill me, for starters.
He wouldn't be too happy with me, either.
Yeah, but I would lose my job or go to jail. Probably both.
I mean, you're in High School.
You could get me in a lot of trouble here.
And don't you forget it.
Mags, I'm just trying to be practical.
Practical?
Why don't you be practical and get outta here
and pretend you never saw anything?
I'm a cop.
Everybody out there's drinking.
You guys are all underage.
Didn't stop you from screwing me.
Fine. I'll go.
Yeah.
You will.
(Door closes)
Aah! Dorrit! God.
What are doing?
(Panting)
What's wrong?
I'm just...
Having some trouble falling asleep, that's all.
Do you think we could maybe... Hang out a little?
(Sighs) Of course.
That "poltergeist" movie is terrifying.
(Sighs) Yeah.
It's okay.
We're going to be arrested. We're not gonna be arrested.
They'll be able to tell that I have pot in my bloodstream,
and now I can never run for senate.
By the time you run for senate,
smoking pot won't be a big deal.
Like that will ever happen.
Hey, stop freaking out.
I handled it. We're cool.
Oh. Thank God. Thanks.
No problem.
I'm kind of beat. Think I'm gonna head home. You coming?
I don't know. Mouse promised me a re-match.
I think maybe I'll stay.
(Whispers) I'm finally starting to have some fun.
Don't worry. I'll take care of her.
Uh-huh.
Do you have any more of that pot?
(Laughs)
(Carrie) I'd come to New York to have fun,
to put on a princess costume and escape my responsibilities.
I realized being a princess wasn't what I wanted to be.
I wanted to be a good friend.
Are you okay?
I don't wanna talk about it.
It's all right, Walt.
That party was pretty intense.
I thought I wanted to be in this world.
But I don't know anymore.
What if I can't handle it?
You can totally handle this world.
You're just a little messed up right now, that's all.
I can't believe I'm quoting Nancy Reagan,
but tonight a few of you just should have said "no."
I'll say.
(Sighs)
Is Larissa okay?
She will be.
But I'm exhausted. You wanna go home?
Yes. So much.
I'll get us a cab.
It'll wear off.
You know that, right?
You took a pill.
Whatever you're feeling right now,
you're not yourself.
But the scariest thing was,
for the first time, Walt thought maybe he was.
It had been a rough night.
Manhattan had shown me its dark side.
But I'd made it through and realized who I was
and who I wanted to be... A good friend.
It turns out that while I was gone,
someone else had been a good friend, too.
Sebastian?
Hey.
I'm really sorry to show up like this.
It's just, mouse is kind of a mess.
Hi! Carrie!
Obviously, I couldn't take her home to her parents.
What happened to her?
She's... kind of baked.
Do you have any chips? I really need something crunchy.
Yeah, inside.
Don't worry. I got this.
Um... she's never been stoned before. Did you know that?
I did not.
Little late to find that out.
(Chuckles)
Does explain a lot.
Yeah.
Hmm.
It's kind of weird that I'm here, isn't it?
No.
Okay, yeah.
I debated whether or not to come.
But you had to take care of mouse, right?
Yeah, it just would have been wrong to ditch her.
Yeah, I totally get it, and I'm glad you brought her here.
- Thank you. - Yeah.
I can take care of her now.
Well, uh, I don't wanna be in the way,
so... I'll just get going.
Hey, Sebastian?
Thanks again.
Yeah. No problemo, Bradshaw.
See you around.
I realized then that I couldn't demonize him
as someone selfish.
He did care about other people.
The truth was Sebastian and I weren't that far apart,
except that now... we were.
(Sighs)
He's got a really cute butt!
Yes, he does.
You've got some serious explaining to do, young lady.
Come on.
(Both laughing)
While mouse was about to explain everything...
(Both laughing) Oh!
(Both resume giggling)
Walt wasn't going to explain anything.
Walt.
What are you doing here?
Can I come in?
Yeah.
(Door squeaks)
Is something wrong?

No matter what you're going through,
