INT. HOSPITAL CORRIDOR -- LATER 227

Carrie walks out of Charlotte's room with Harry.

CARRIE

She's a doll. Mazel tov!

She kisses Harry on the cheek and starts away.

HARRY

He asked me to ask you to call him.

Carrie stops. Turns around. Looks at him.

HARRY (CONT'D)

I know! It's none of my business.

But I felt bad for the poor schmuck

hanging around the hospital waiting

room hoping to see you. I swear

every time he heard someone in

heels coming down the hall -- his

heart stopped.

CARRIE

Harry -- it's so much more

complicated than you can imagine.

HARRY

I know it is -- and you have every

right to never call him -- but I'm

just a big pile of love today --and

I feel bad for the guy. He said

he's been writing you -- but you

never responded.

CARRIE

(beat; then)

He's never written me.

HARRY

He said he wrote because he didn't

have your phone number.

141.

CARRIE

No. He's never written me. Ever.

HARRY

Then, why would he say that he had?

Carrie looks at Harry. Lost. Confused.

228 INT. CARRIE'S APARTMENT -- LATER -- SPRING 228

Carrie enters her apartment. She glances over at her bookcase

-- Remembers.

JUMP CUT TO: Carrie opens the bookcase drawer and takes out a

Manila envelope marked: P.O. Box.

JUMP CUT TO: Carrie dumps the contents of the envelopes on

the desk.

JUMP CUT TO: Carrie quickly sorts through the mail -- looking

-- looking for something. A letter -- something. Nothing from

him. She leans back in her chair -- more confused. Her eyes

drift up to her computer. She wonders if --

JUMP CUT TO: Carrie is logging onto CarrieBradshaw.com. She

types in PASSWORD.

JUMP CUT TO: CarrieBradshaw.com's "welcome page." She clicks

on EMAIL.

JUMP CUT TO: Carrie scans through emails -- none are from

Big. Frustrated she logs off.

229 INT. CARRIE'S APARTMENT -- LATER 229

Carrie is still at her desk, lost in thought.

CARRIE (VO)

Two hours, two manila envelopes and

countless emails later, I was just

about to give up on the Big riddle

when --

She looks back at her computer screen and notices:

"CB-assistant." Carrie sits up. Clicks on it.

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

I had told Louise to put Big in a

place where I would never have to

hear from him again.

142.

She types in her password. Nothing. Picks up her phone. Dials

a number.

CARRIE (CONT'D)

Hey, Louise -- it's me. What's the

password to get into your assistant

file? Call me.

She hangs up and places the phone on a pile of mail -- which

causes the mail to fall over onto the floor.

CARRIE (CONT'D)

Shit.

Carrie reaches down to pick-up the mail -- she notices the

"LOVE" key chain has fallen as well. She picks it up and

looks at it, has a hunch.

CARRIE (CONT'D)

Oh my God.

JUMP CUT TO: Carrie types the password: "L-O-V-E." Yes! The

file opens -- her eyes widen. There on the screen are many,

many, many emails -- all from JJP@JJP.com.

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

As soon as I typed in "love" --

there he was.

She clicks on the first e-mail. It opens:

It's the love letter from Beethoven, retyped.

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

And because Big still didn't have

the words... he retyped a love

letter from Beethoven.

JUMP CUT TO: New Email: A love letter from Lord Byron.

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

And Lord Byron.

JUMP CUT TO: New Email: A love letter from James Joyce.

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

And James Joyce.

JUMP CUT TO: New Email: A Love letter from Voltaire.

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

And Voltaire.

143.

JUMP CUT TO: Carrie sits in the chair. Breathless.

Overwhelmed.

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

There they were. "The Love Letters

of Great Men - Volume One." Plus

one more... Written by John James

Preston.

New email -- It reads: "I know I screwed it up -- but I will

love you forever."

Carrie impulsively picks up the phone -- starts to dial.

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

I wanted to call him - but our

love... Carrie and Big: volumes

one, two, and three... stopped me.

She puts the phone down and is about to "delete" the e mail --

suddenly; the phone rings.

CARRIE (CONT'D)

Hello.

LOUISE (O.C.)

I didn't hear my phone.
