INT. HAIR SALON -- DAY -- FALL 147

A STYLIST is blowing out a woman with dark chestnut brown

hair. Reveal the woman's face: It's Carrie --

INT. STARBUCKS -- LATER THAT DAY -- FALL 148

Raining outside. Louise walks in, looks around.

CARRIE

Louise!

Double-take. Carrie is waving to her from a table.

LOUISE

Oh my Lord. I did not even

recognize you.

CARRIE

That's the point. My head is the

witness protection program.

97.

LOUISE

I'm really feeling that look on

you.

Louise reaches into her purse to get something --

CARRIE

And I am feeling that Balenciaga on

you.

LOUISE

Mine till Tuesday.

Louise pulls out a cell phone and holds it out to her.

LOUISE (CONT'D)

Here -- time to re-join the world.

CARRIE

Already?

Louise nods. Carrie takes the phone.

LOUISE

Your new number... area code: 347 --

CARRIE

Hold, Hold, Hold. 347? No, no. I'm

a 917 gal. Always have been.

LOUISE

No longer available. Now, you're

347.

CARRIE

Great. Now even I don't recognize

me.

149 EXT. BEACHOUSE/DECK -- DAY -- FALL 149

Samantha sits on her deck. Her phone rings.

SAMANTHA

Samantha Jones.

CARRIE (V.O.)

Carrie Bradshaw --

EXT. NYC STREET -- CONTINUOUS -- FALL 150

Intercut with Carrie walking along.

98.

CARRIE

-- Or I used to be.

SAMANTHA

Talk to me.

CARRIE

I'm a 347 area code. How tacky is

that?

SAMANTHA

347 is the new New York.

CARRIE

I want the old New York with the

old 917 and my old will to live.

SAMANTHA

Old New York, new New York -- honey

-- at least it's New York.

She looks -- Dante is coming out of the surf in his wetsuit.

SAMANTHA (CONT'D)

Another hard thing about being in

L.A? My "sex on a stick" next door

neighbor. I can't stop looking at

him.

CARRIE

Looking?

SAMANTHA

Just looking. After I saw Steve's

face at the rehearsal dinner, I

could never ---

Dante notices her on the deck. He gives her a sexy smile.

She doesn't acknowledge it -- turns away and walks inside.

SAMANTHA (CONT'D)

But you should see this guy. Every

night sex with a different partner.

He's like --

(searching then realizing)

--Me. Five years ago.

CARRIE

Yes. When I was a 212.

EXT. RODEO DRIVE -- DAY -- FALL 151

Samantha strolls along Rodeo Drive.

A.

CARRIE (V.O.)

And in an effort to stay out of her

house and out of trouble --

Samantha went shopping.

She notices a sidewalk "dog rescue station." Cute puppies

frolic and play in a wire pen.

99.

In the back of the pen sits a tattered tiny DOG. Alone.

Samantha can't help but look at it.

CARRIE (V.O.) (CONT'D)

It certainly wasn't the cutest dog

in the pen - but their was

something about it --

The dog looks up at her -- Dark marks under its eyes. The

Rescue Woman (40) notices Samantha looking.

RESCUE WOMAN

She needs a good a home.

Interested?

Samantha shakes her head; "no."

CARRIE (V.O.)

And just as Samantha convinced

herself that the dog wasn't for

her.

The dog starts humping a stuffed animal.

RESCUE WOMAN

She's been fixed, but she hasn't

lost the urge.

152 INT. DOG GROOMER'S -- LATER -- FALL 152

Samantha holds the dog while talking to two GROOMERS.

SAMANTHA

And she needs a little eye work.

Anything you can do about these

stains?

The dog looks up at her. She looks down at it.

SAMANTHA (CONT'D)

(to dog)

Honey, I don't mince words.
