Cynthia Nixon credited as playing...
Miranda Hobbes
- Miranda Hobbes: What I wanna know is, when did all the men get together and decide that they would only get it up for giraffes with big breasts?
- Charlotte York: In some cultures, heavy women with moustaches are considered beautiful.
- Samantha Jones: And you're looking at me while you're saying that?
- Charlotte York: I just know that no matter how good I feel about myself, if I see Christy Turlington, I just want to give up.
- Miranda Hobbes: Well, I just want to tie her down and force-feed her lard. But that's the difference between you and me.
- Miranda Hobbes: If men like Nick are dating models, what chance do ordinary women have? I mean, do you have to be a supermodel to get a date in New York?
- Carrie Bradshaw: [voice over narration] Modelizers are a particular breed. They're a step beyond womanizers, who will sleep with just about anything in a skirt. Modelizers are obsessed, not with women, but with models, who in most cities are safely confined to billboards and magazines, but in Manhattan, actually run wild on the streets, turning the city into a virtual Model Country Safari where men can pet the creatures in their natural habitat. As if we didn't have enough problems!
- Samantha Jones: I happen to love the way I look.
- Miranda Hobbes: You should. You paid enough for it.
- Samantha Jones: Hey! I resent that! I do not believe in plastic surgery. Well, not yet.
- [first lines]
- Carrie Bradshaw: [voice over narration] Last night my friend Miranda got invited to a dinner party by a man she hardly knew. She was the date of Nick Waxler, a fairly successful sports agent who'd said she had nice legs.
- Nick Waxler: Okay, old movie stars you would have liked to fuck when they were young.
- Miranda Hobbes: Alive or dead?
- Nick Waxler: It doesn't matter. Veronica Lake, the year she made 'Sullivan's Travels'.
