INT. LIBRARY -- LATER -- FALL 80
WEDDING GUESTS arrive. Bitsy comes up to Stanford. A DRIVER
follows her carrying a LARGE box from TIFFANY.
STANFORD
Looks like someone had breakfast at
Tiffany.
BITSY
Sweetheart, look at the size...
it's breakfast, lunch and dinner at
Tiffany.
(MORE)
A.
BITSY (CONT'D)
(beat)
Gifts?
Stanford chuckles as he points. She points to the DRIVER and
they walk away. Anthony comes over to Stanford.
ANTHONY
We have a problem.
STANFORD
I know, but for Carrie's sake I've
decided to ignore your attitude.
ANTHONY
No, a real problem. They're not
here.
STANFORD
They're probably stuck in traffic.
ANTHONY
Both of them?
60.
Stanford gives a look of concern. Anthony nods.
EXT. LIBRARY -- LATER -- FALL 81
Big's car is parked in front of the library. Raoul is leaning
against it looking at his watch.
82 INT. BIG'S CAR - CONTINUOUS -- FALL 82
Big is on the phone, smoking one of Raoul's cigarettes.
CARRIE (V.O.)
This is Carrie, leave a message.
BIG
I'm out front -- waiting. I can't
go in without you.
He takes a drag on the cigarette. Exhales.
BIG (CONT'D)
Baby, this whole bride and groom
thing has really thrown me. I need
to know that it's still us. Just
like you said. Me and you.
Raoul KNOCKS on the window. Big looks out. The girls are in
the process of climbing out of the limo. Big closes the phone
and looks. Carrie gets out of the limo, her back to him.
BIG (CONT'D)
Turn around baby, let me see you.
Just as he's about to see her face -- Charlotte pulls the
veil over it. Carrie is gone -- all Big can see is a bride.
He sinks back into his seat and away from the window as the
girls hurry up the library stairs.
83 INT. LIBRARY/WEDDING AREA -- MOMENTS LATER -- FALL 83
Anthony and Stanford are waiting, as are Harry with Lily and
Magda with Brady, who is wearing a little tux with shorts and
knee socks holding a ring pillow.
A FLURRY OF HIGH HEELS CLICKING on a marble floor is heard as
Carrie and the girls arrive around a corner. Magda GASPS,
overjoyed when she sees Carrie in her dress.
MIRANDA
Traffic was the worst --
61.
Miranda kneels to hug Brady. Samantha fluffs Carrie.
SAMANTHA
Ready. We're ready.
Samantha looks over. Anthony has a weird look on his face.
STANFORD
He's not here yet.
SAMANTHA
Who's not?
ANTHONY
The groom.
Carrie lifts up her veil with ONE arm and looks out from
under it. She is on super high-alert.
CARRIE
What's happening?
SAMANTHA
Big's not here.
CHARLOTTE
But we're twenty-five minutes late.
CARRIE
Did anyone call him?
(beat; nothing)
Give me a phone. Someone give me a
phone.
Samantha hands her the iPhone. Carrie looks at it.
CARRIE (CONT'D)
(tight/controlled)
I don't know how to work this.
Stanford hands her a phone. As she dials she catches a
WORRIED LOOK on Charlotte's face. Carrie turns away and holds
the phone to her ear, waits. Waits. Then --
CARRIE (CONT'D)
(into phone)
Are you okay?
84 INT. BIG'S CAR -- CONTINUOUS -- FALL 84
Big is sitting in the car as it MOVES down a side street.
A.
BIG
I've been calling you for an hour.
Why haven't you been answering your
phone?
62.
CARRIE
(anxiety escaping)
I don't know where my phone is!
(beat)
What is going on? Where are you?
BIG
(beat; then)
I was out front --but I just left.
I can't do this.
CARRIE
(in pain)
Oh my God --
Carrie drops the phone from her ear -- She's heard the words.
The words on some level she was expecting.
CARRIE (CONT'D)
He's not coming. Oh my God.
The phone slips out of her hand and lands on the floor.
Charlotte, Miranda, and Samantha don't know what to do.
SAMANTHA
What do you mean he's not coming?
CARRIE
Get me out of here.
(beat; a plea)
-- Get me out of here!
SAMANTHA
Go, go. You take her. I'll stay
here and deal with this --
She gestures to the wedding area. Miranda and Charlotte take
Carrie's arms and quickly start moving her away. Horror on
all of their faces. Brady CALLS after them, his voice ECHOES
off the marble.
BRADY
Where you going, Mommy?!
Samantha looks at Stanford and Anthony -- speechless.
