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.
