INT. BRIDAL SHOP -- CONTINUOUS -- SPRING 230
Intercut with Louise, standing in a wedding gown. Her MOTHER
(45), GRANDMOTHER (65), and SISTERS (20 15, 8) sit watching.
LOUISE
We are shopping for my wedding
gown.
ANGELA, her youngest sister calls out.
ANGELA
That one makes you look weird.
LOUISE
(calls over)
Momma -- can you please -- This is
a work call.
The Mother motions for Angela to sit down. She does.
CARRIE
No, it's okay I figured it out.
144.
LOUISE
Well, I was going to call you
anyway -- today is the final day on
the Fifth Avenue apartment. You
have till six before they change
the locks.
CARRIE
I don't need to go over there.
LOUISE
And do you NOT want those never-
worn shoes?
CARRIE
Oh -- I completely forgot about --
LOUISE
`Cause if you don't -- send them on
to me. I'll squeeze my feet into
them.
CARRIE
It's already five o'clock.
LOUISE
Hello? There are never been worn
four hundred dollar shoes!
CARRIE
Five twenty-five.
(beat; hears herself)
Bye.
Carrie drops the phone and jumps up.
231 EXT. CARRIE'S APARTMENT -- MOMENTS LATER -- SPRING 231
Carrie runs down the stairs... she spots a passing CAB.
CARRIE
Taxi!
It SCREECHES to a halt. She runs to the cab.
INT. ELEVATOR -- MOMENTS LATER -- SPRING 232
Carrie steps into the elevator. She presses "PH," steps back.
The doors close.
145.
INT. PENTHOUSE APARTMENT -- MOMENTS LATER -- SPRING 233
Key in the lock -- Carrie enters. She looks around.
CARRIE (V.O.)
The light in our pre-war apartment
looked completely different post-
war.
234 INT. PENTHOUSE APARTMENT/BEDROOM -- MOMENTS LATER -- SPRING
Carrie walks into the bedroom and over to the closet. She
pushes open the other double door... Revealing --
Mr. Big - standing there holding the Manolos in his hands. He
looks up -- surprised by her.
BIG
I was going to get these to you. I
didn't want it to be a total loss.
CARRIE (V.O.)
It wasn't logic -- it was love.
She walks into the closet and over to him. She throws her
arms around him. He drops the shoes. They kiss. It's
passionate. Very -- very passionate.
235 INT. PENTHOUSE APARTMENT/WALK-IN CLOSET -- LATER -- SPRING 35
Carrie and Big are nestled up next to each other on the
carpeted floor of the empty walk-in closet. His suit jacket
is off. Her shoes are off.
CARRIE
Why did we ever decide to get
married?
BIG
(beat; then)
I guess we were afraid it meant
something if we didn't.
She looks at him and nods. It's true.
BIG (CONT'D)
I'm sorry to have done that to you.
Silence. She touches his lips.
146.
CARRIE
I'm sorry to have done that to
you...
(beat)
And you know the funny part?
BIG
Is there a funny part?
CARRIE
We were perfectly happy before we
decided to live happily ever after.
BIG
Yep. The jokes on us.
She nods... she looks around.
CARRIE
Good closet.
BIG
Thanks.
CARRIE
Comfortable. Is this what you had
in mind when you installed the
carpet?
BIG
I'd like to think I was that
smooth.
CARRIE
We better get up before the new
owner bust in on us.
They start to get up. Carrie rises first. He starts to get
up, first -- sitting on his side...
BIG
And the way we decided to get
married -- All business... No
romance. That's not the way you
propose to someone.
He moves further up -- onto one knee -- where he stops.
BIG (CONT'D)
This is.
She looks down at him -- Is this happening? He holds out his
hand. She places her hand in his.
147.
BIG (CONT'D)
Carrie Bradshaw -- love of my life -
- will you marry me?
It is everything Carrie Bradshaw had convinced herself would
never happen. Could never happen. And here it is.
She nods. Speechless. Overcome. He smiles.
BIG (CONT'D)
See, this is why there's a diamond.
You need to do something to close
the deal.
She laughs. He notices her never-worn Manolo on the floor. He
picks it up. Holds it out to her. She lifts her foot and
places it in the shoe. Cinderella style.
236 INT. COURTHOUSE/ROOM -- DAY -- SPRING 236
Carrie stands with Big in front of a JUDGE. She is wearing
the simple white suit and her never-worn Manolos from the
closet.
CARRIE (V.O.)
And in the end... Carrie Bradshaw
married John James Preston in a
label-less dress.
Big Smiles. She smiles. Both calm. Sure.
JUDGE
By the power vested in me, by the
state of New York, I now pronounce
you husband and wife. You may kiss
the bride.
Big and Carrie kiss. Then, he whispers into her ear.
BIG
Ever thine. Ever mine. Ever ours.
237 INT. COURTHOUSE/LOBBY -- LATER 237
Carrie and Big walk through the courthouse lobby toward the
front door holding hands.
BIG
You okay that it was just us?
CARRIE
Perfect. You and me -- like I said.
148.
BIG
Still. Would have been nice if you
had the girls here.
He holds the door open for her as they walk outside.
