EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE

IS FILLED WITH LOVING YOU. LA LA LA

LA LA LA LA OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Carrie LAUGHS as he continues to massacre the high notes.

EXT. NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY - DAY -- SUMMER 33

Carrie runs past the stone lions and up the grand stairs

holding three LIBRARY BOOKS in her hand.

34 INT. NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY/LOBBY -- LATER -- SUMMER 34

Carrie stands at the entrance while a FEMALE GUARD (60)

checks the contents of her purse. A FLORAL DELIVERY MAN comes

in carrying a GORGEOUS ARRANGEMENT OF WHITE FLOWERS. He calls

to the Guard.

DELIVERY MAN

Which way's the wedding?

The Guard points, bored. Carrie looks, interested.

A.

35 INT. NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY/WEDDING SPACE -- MOMENTS LATER 5

A beautiful space. The tables are being set up as MORE

FLOWERS arrive. Carrie tip-toes in and looks around. A SMILE

grows on her face.

31.

INT. RESTAURANT -- NIGHT -- SUMMER 36

Carrie and Big sit at the bar -- having dinner.

CARRIE

I've been thinking.

BIG

Again?

CARRIE

How about we get married at The New

York Public Library?

(Gushy and silly)

Think how perfect. You and I and

our love story surrounded by all

the other lesser love stories.

BIG

Do we have to make that big of a

deal?

CARRIE

It's not that big a deal. It's

seventy-five people in a room

that's partitioned in half.

BIG

It's just -- I've already had two

big weddings.

Carrie winces -- stung. After a beat, she goes on.

CARRIE

Well, what did you have in mind?

BIG

I don't know -- a judge, couple

friends and then we go for ham and

eggs after.

A bucket of cold water.

CARRIE

Interesting.

Big looks over at her. She looks upset, hurt, sad. Silence.

BIG

Would we have to whisper? In the

library?

32.

Carrie looks over at him, softens a little.

BIG (CONT'D)

"Do you, Carrie" -- Shhhh. "Take

this man" -- SHHHH!

He raises his eyebrow. She laughs. ELAINE (40) Zaftig, Jewish

-- spots Carrie.

ELAINE

Carrie, hi!

CARRIE

Elaine, hi. Do you know John?

ELAINE

No, hi. Nice to meet you.

CARRIE

Elaine writes a single gal column

for The New York Post.

ELAINE

Please -- I'd rather you reveal my

weight.

Carrie and Big laugh.

ELAINE (CONT'D)V.O.)

So, what's new?

CARRIE

Well. We're getting married.

BIG

Yep -- At the New York Public

Library.

Carrie looks at Big, touched. Elaine is delighted, TEARFUL.

ELAINE

Oh, my God! This gives me such

hope.

She hugs Carrie, then hugs Big. Then hugs Big again.

ELAINE (CONT'D)

Thank-you. Thank-you for marrying

someone our age.

33.

37 INT. CHARLOTTE'S APARTMENT/DINING ROOM -- DAY -- SUMMER 37

Charlotte, Harry and Lily are having breakfast. A KING

CHARLES SPANIEL and TWO MUTTS sit on the floor looking up at

them. Charlotte pages through the New York Post -- She

notices something. CLOSE ON: NEWSPAPER; A small PHOTO: of

Carrie on "PAGE SIX" above a mention of the wedding.

Charlotte SCREAMS. Harry and Lily JUMP. She grabs the

cordless phone from the table.

38 INT. BIG'S SUBLET -- MOMENTS LATER 38

Intercut with Carrie on the phone as Big sips coffee.

CHARLOTTE

(reading paper)

"The ultimate single gal Carrie

Bradshaw will be married in Manolos

to New York financier John James

Preston come fall."

CARRIE

(to Big)

Our wedding's on Page Six.

BIG

(not pleased)

Who would put that in there?

Carrie shrugs, Charlotte continues reading.

CHARLOTTE

"Proving to single gals everywhere

that there can be a happy ending

over forty."

CARRIE

Oh, I know who.
