EXT. COURTHOUSE -- CONTINUOUS -- SPRING 238

Carrie and Big walk out of the courthouse into the sun.

BIG

Which is why I called them.

Carrie looks. Miranda, Charlotte, and a MORE SLENDER Samantha

are standing there. They SCREAM and throw rice.

MIRANDA/SAMANTHA

Congratulations!

CHARLOTTE

Mazel tov!

As the rice hits... Carrie screams and Big laughs. A GUARD

hurries over to them. Carrie is spitting out rice.

GUARD

Excuse me -- excuse me! You're not

allowed to throw rice anymore.

SAMANTHA

Honey, get over it -- It's New

York!

She winks at the guard. He shrugs and walks away.

INT. COFFEE SHOP -- LATER -- SPRING 239

Big, Carrie, Miranda, Steve, Brady, Charlotte, Harry, Lily,

rose, Stanford, Samantha are casually gathered around a

couple of tables that have been pushed together. A WAITRESS

comes over balancing hot plates.

WAITRESS

Who had the ham and eggs?

Big raises his arm. The waitress hands the plate down...

Carrie intercepts it and places it in front of Big.

149.

CARRIE (V.O.)

It wasn't a fancy designer

reception either. Just food and

friends.

The Waitress hands out the other breakfasts. People LAUGH.

Samantha feeds bacon to the dog -- who is wearing a tiny

bridal veil on his head.

A INT. BARNES AND NOBLE -- DAY -- SUMMER 239A

Carrie's books are displayed on a BOOK KIOSK. Carrie stands

in front of it READING to a crowd from the galleys of her new

book. She is wearing READING GLASSES.

CARRIE

Maybe some labels are best left in

the closet...

EXT. VITRA -- NIGHT -- SUMMER 240

Bustling. Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha -- back to

her fighting weight -- walk down the busy street dressed for

a night on the town. They laugh as they go -- their designer

purses swinging.

CARRIE (V.O.)

... Maybe when we put a label on

people... bride, groom, husband,

wife, fat, thin, married, single...

we forget to look past the label

and see the person.

They arrive at the club entrance. A line of PEOPLE wait to be

let inside. The DOORMAN (30's) spots Carrie, lifts the red

rope and lets the girls in -- closing it after them.

INT. RESTAURANT -- LATER -- SUMMER 241

The four girls sit at a table drinking "Cosmopolitans."

CHARLOTTE

Hmmm. This is delicious.

MIRANDA

Why did we ever stop drinking

these?

CARRIE

Because everyone else started.

A.

SAMANTHA

(sips; then)

Well, that is an oldie but goodie.

CARRIE

And speaking of an oldie but

goodie...

A WAITER brings birthday cake to the table. The number: "50"

stands proud and tall among the glowing candles. He places it

down in front of a proud Samantha.

150.

CARRIE (CONT'D)

Wait -- wait -- a toast.

The girls lift their glasses to Samantha.

CARRIE (CONT'D)

To Samantha... fifty and fabulous!

Samantha smiles, touched -- then blows out her candles.

CARRIE (CONT'D)

To us... and the next fifty!

Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha raise their glasses.

ALL

To the next fifty.

They sip and look at one another.

CARRIE (V.O.)

And there, in the same city where

they met as girls, four New York

women entered the next phase of

their lives... dressed head to toe

in love.

Samantha licks some icing. Charlotte cuts the cake. Miranda

helps. Carrie smiles and sips.

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

And that's the one label -- that

never goes out of style.
