And Just Like That... (2021) s03e06 Episode Script
They Wanna Have Fun
1
[KNOCKING]
- I hate you.
- Understood.
But I might need a bit more
explanation as to exactly why.
Your first chapter
is thrilling.
It's polished and
it's ready to publish,
and how am I supposed to hand
you my work in progress now?
Well, that was the deal
that we agreed to.
But can we get back to the,
"My work is thrilling" bit?
Oh, my God, Duncan, it is so good.
- I'm so relieved.
- [CARRIE CHUCKLES]
Alright, this is mine.
[INHALES DEEPLY]
And I'm so terrified.
[SCREAMING]
Lily, what's wrong?
Diego
broke up with me.
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
[PEOPLE CHATTERING]
- [CARRIE] Mm.
- [CHARLOTTE] Ooh!
[BARISTA] Alison,
almond milk macchiato.
Poor Lily. Mm.
Breakups at that age
are so Bronte sisters.
You know, I still feel
a little of the pain
of my first high school breakup.
Well, it was only a few years ago.
Give it some time.
- Kevin Moss. Mm.
- [MIRANDA CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
Yeah, he said he was into me,
but it was just way too much.
[MIRANDA] Mm.
Guys, that may be my brand.
[LAUGHTER]
That flower market can kiss my ass.
It took so friggin' long,
I'll barely have enough time
to slap on a light coat
of bronzer before she arrives.
Before who arrives?
Giuseppe's shrink mother
is coming from Rome for a week.
And I am not a fan of therapy.
I tried it once.
He had all these insights.
- Ugh.
- Like I need that.
[CHUCKLES] Tidy up!
My future mother-in-law's on
her way over from the Carlyle.
So, at this point, I don't even know
how I'm gonna get Lily out of bed.
And with everything else
that I have on my plate,
it's the last thing I need,
is for my easy one
to just have a breakdown.
Why? What else do you
have on your plate?
Oh, my gosh, I wanted
to show you this new ring.
Ah, questo caffè è così dolce,
piccolo e intimo.
[SNIFFING] È il pane
- ha un profumo invivante.
- Si, si.
[CHARLOTTE] When did you
get this? I've never seen this one.
- Oh, bene, look who's here!
- [MIRANDA] Hey!
[GIUSEPPE] Mama, I
want you to meet my friends.
- [CARRIE] Oh!
- Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda,
this is my mother,
Dottoressa Gianna Amato.
Please, angel, why so formal?
We are all friends.
Ladies, call me Gia.
Oh, it's so nice to meet you, Gia.
And your English is perfect.
It should be. I was born in Buffalo.
- [CARRIE AND MIRANDA CHUCKLE]
- Made my escape at 19
- to study painting in Florence.
- [CARRIE] Mm.
I was going to be the next Botticelli.
The arrogance of
a 19-year-old American, yes?
But I fell in love,
so here is my masterpiece.
[ALL] Aw!
- We love your son.
- Then, I love all of you.
- [MIRANDA LAUGHING]
- [GIANNA GASPS]
This gorgeous man must be the Anthony
I have heard so much about.
Ciao bello, I'm Gia.
Ciao.
Mama, this is not Anthony.
[ANTHONY] I hope his fancy, important,
head-shrinker mama
enjoys this fucking foliage.
- This is Anthony.
- [ANTHONY] Oh.
I didn't know you were here.
- Ciao.
- [GIANNA CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
I wanted to make the place
look its best for you.
I appreciate the effort.
Now, please, set that down.
It must be heavy
for a man of your size.
[ANTHONY] Take it. Take it.
I said take it.
- [VASE THUDS]
- Uh, so, welcome.
Uh, what should I call you? Mrs. Amato?
Gianna? Mrs. Gianna? Mom? Mama?
[BOTH LAUGHING]
You may call me
Dottoressa Gianna Amato.
I'm afraid I made
a very bad first impression.
[PLUCKY MUSIC PLAYING]
You have some makeup on your neck, yes?
Yes.
[CARRIE] Hey, I think we
should throw Charlotte a party
for her birthday next week.
Okay! Let's do it at my new place!
I've been wanting to have
a little housewarming there anyway.
Well, actually, I think it
it should be a kind of bigger party.
And I have all that space,
plus you're working all next week,
so, um, you know,
- just let me plan it.
- Okay.
Well, it doesn't have
to be a big thing, though.
- It's not her 60th.
- [CHUCKLES] No, I know.
I know, I know, I just
I just feel like she
she really needs to have
some fun right now.
Why? Is something wrong?
Oh, no. What?
What's wrong with Charlotte?
Is she sick?
Is that what's on her plate?
No. No, no, no, no, no.
No, she's not Charlotte isn't sick.
Well, something is wrong, clearly!
- Are the kids okay?
- Yes, the kids
are absolutely okay!
- Okay.
- Okay.
And Harry?
- Is he sick?
- [SIGHS]
Oh, my God! Harry's sick.
No! No! No, Harry is not sick.
Well, someone is sick!
You just, like, froze
when I asked if
It It's it's the dog!
Richard Burton has dog cancer.
He has an incurable tumor.
- Oh, no.
- And he's dying.
Also, just don't say anything to her,
'cause she's really
She just she doesn't
wanna She's having a hard
she doesn't wanna talk about it.
Okay, yes.
We have to go all out
and make sure it's fun.
- All the fun.
- Yes.
- Charlotte needs fun.
- Yes!
Fun, fun, fun, fun, fun.
[SEEMA] I live two blocks away,
and today I was thinking,
why am I taking an expensive,
dirty cab downtown
to get my eyelash extensions
when I can just walk
into Lattes and Lashes?
Why don't you just take a Uber?
- [GUM SMACKING]
- Here, let me take that.
- [GUM POPPING]
- Your nails are really something.
- Don't they get in the way?
- The way of what?
Here, I'm just gonna put
your pad on your face, okay?
[GUM POPPING]
Okay, ready?
- [CHAIR CLATTERING]
- Here you go.
[POP MUSIC PLAYING IN SALON]
You know, you don't have to rush.
I have cleared two hours.
Two hours?
I got three people waiting, diva.
- Period.
- Three people waiting?
Oh, so you must be really good at this.
You are good at this, right?
I'm the best. [CHUCKLES]
[GUM POPPING CONTINUES]
[SOFT, CALM MUSIC PLAYING]
Hey, um [CLICKING
TONGUE] would you like to come
to my friend Charlotte's
birthday party?
No, absolutely not. Deal-breaker.
[LAUGHING] Come on! It'll be fun.
Anyway, that's the goal.
Carrie told me that
Charlotte's dog has cancer
so this party is supposed
to lift her spirits.
Y-You buried the lede!
God, that's awful.
God, if something happened to my dogs,
I simply don't think I could go on.
[CLICKING TONGUE]
What's the poor pup's name?
[GULPING] Um, Richard Burton.
Oh, I would say something snide here,
but I named mine Sappho and Socrates.
[BOTH LAUGHING]
[DISTANT STREET NOISE, CARS HONKING]
[PHONE BUZZING]
Hello, you.
She hates me, right?
Giuseppe's mother? So nasty.
Um I
I think she was nice.
Yeah, but, like,
nice-nasty though, right?
Like, Duck, Duck, Goose?
Nice to you, nice to Char, nasty to me?
I hate to confirm
your conspiracy theory,
but, um, I am meeting
Gia for lunch today.
Gia?
Now it's Gia, and it's lunch?
[CARRIE] Don't get mad. She invited me.
We kinda hit it off the other day.
Ah, of course, you did,
'cause you're not me.
- [PHONE CHIMES]
- Oh, my gosh, Anthony.
I have to get ready.
I'm sorry, I gotta go.
Go! Go! Have lunch with your "Gia."
But put in a good word for me?
What, you want me
to pimp you out to his mom?
You have to. I love him, he loves me,
he loves her, and she hates me.
And what's with the fancy airs?
And the accent?
She's from Buffalo,
home of the chicken wing.
Alright, I'll try.
Goodbye!
[CARRIE] So, yes,
I I write about love,
and men and women.
So, I'm always interested
in other people's love stories.
There's so much to say about
Giuseppe's father and myself.
Where to start?
Well [SIGHS]
I was 21, and his father was almost 50.
- [CARRIE] Hmm.
- [GIANNA GIGGLING]
[SIGHS] Shocking for America,
but for Roma, not so much.
Alessandro was my first man,
and after him,
the only man I ever wanted.
Mm. That's magical.
Well it wasn't all magic.
My husband's teen children
loathed me from day one.
Nothing I did mattered. Infuriating.
So much so, that I dropped art
and dove head-first
into Freudian theory,
just to try to figure out their psyche.
Sorry, I shouldn't spout on
about stepchildren, but
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
I guess Sancerre
is the gateway to truth.
- [BOTH LAUGH]
- Not at all.
It's actually it's very interesting.
My boyfriend has children, and, um
it's complicated.
Oh, so you're the enemy too?
No.
No, no, no, I I don't think.
Well
maybe with one.
So, do you have any, uh,
professional perspective to share?
[SIGHS] Don't waste years
trying to be who
you think they'll accept.
Inauthentic beings never win.
Be yourself.
That way, at least,
they're meeting the real you.
And just remember,
it's always complicated
when a new love enters
an established dynamic.
Hmm.
Well, speaking of new loves,
I would be remiss if I didn't tell you
that Anthony is
one of the most authentic
and loving people I've ever known.
Maybe I have him wrong.
Well, how do you have him?
I'd rather not say.
[LOUNGE MUSIC PLAYING]
- [EMPLOYEE] Hi, ladies.
- [CUSTOMER] Hi.
Oh, my goodness.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[CUSTOMER 2] These are all the same?
[ATTENDANT] Yes, all of these.
Harry?
Harry!
Harry!
Uh
uh, hi, honey!
What What are y
What are you doing here?
I'm buying Lily
a "life isn't over" gift.
What are you doing here?
- Harry!
- Oh, boy.
Oh, boy. Oh, boy.
Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Oh, boy.
- Uh
- [BONNIE CLEARING THROAT]
I did not want you two to ever meet.
Well, Harry, do you want
to tell her, or should I?
Tell me what? And bear in mind,
I cannot hear any more bad news.
Bonnie
is my personal shopper.
- She picks out all your gifts.
- [BONNIE CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
Birthdays, anniversaries, Hanukkah.
Bonnie, I would like you
to meet your wife, Charlotte.
Oh, hello. [CHUCKLES]
Nice to meet you.
- And you have beautiful taste.
- [BONNIE] Aw.
Uh, but I do not need
a birthday gift this year.
And you should be at home resting.
That is what I told him. So brave.
[BONNIE CHUCKLES]
Well, any needs, I'm I'm here.
Charlotte, I love that
you are wearing that blouse.
I wasn't sure if it was
too bold of a color for you.
[SIGHS, CHUCKLES]
[FOOTSTEPS RECEDING]
"So brave"?
You told Bonnie?
I had to tell somebody.
It was driving me crazy.
Do you know how hard it is
not to talk to anybody about it?
Do I? Yes, yes, I do!
I think I do!
You can tell Bonnie,
and I can't tell my friends?
Bonnie is at Bergdorf's.
She's not part of our lives.
Wha It's totally
different, babe. It just is.
[SIGHS DEEPLY] Okay.
Let's go home.
- Oh, damn.
- [CHARLOTTE SIGHS]
I wanted to get you the
perfect birthday gift this year.
Don't you mean Bonnie wanted to get me
the perfect birthday gift this year?
What, you want another Van Cleef
and Arpels Lucky Animal dog clip?
'Cause that's me without Bonnie, okay?
- Okay.
- [HARRY SIGHS]
Come on.
[DOORBELL RINGING]
[CARRIE GIGGLES]
Well, to what do I owe this
What wait a minute,
what's happening? Why
Why is your left eye smaller
than your right eye?
Cute story.
- I was just at Union Square Café
- Mm-hmm?
- trying to land a big client.
- Ooh.
And my cheap-ass eyelashes
started to molt.
- Well, what's cute about that?
- Nothing.
- Day-drinking is required.
- Mm.
Uh, champagne or rosé?
Champagne.
Hey, stranger. What are we celebrating?
Clearly, not you finally
finishing Carrie's yard.
Well, good things take time.
You wanna you wanna
come outside and see?
Oh, I don't do dirt.
Seema's having a challenging day.
Which is even more reason for her
to attend Charlotte's birthday party.
Did you just backdoor
me a party invite?
I most certainly did,
because I need this party to be fun,
and no one's more fun than you.
- I'm fun.
- Well, "Fun Adam,"
would you like to join us
for a drink Saturday night?
I would. Yeah, we'll both be there.
Right, Seema?
Oh. [CLICKING TONGUE] Well, it depends
what I'm doing Thursday and Friday.
Wait, your your
left eye's a little red.
Well, of course, it is.
I started taking cabs
for the first time in years,
and beyond being so unsexy,
I think they gave me whatever this is.
It's a loose eyelash.
- Ooh.
- Uh, may I?
- It's clean.
- Mm-hmm.
[RHYTHMIC PERCUSSION MUSIC PLAYING]
Make a wish and blow.
I wish Carrie's yard was finished.
Are you gonna blow?
Don't make me call HR.
Okay, I'll blow for you.
[BLOWS QUICKLY]
Gonna turn the water off soon.
- Nice seeing you.
- [DOOR OPENS]
Well, what was that?
- Nothing.
- Sure felt like something.
Well, he's got
a yogi girlfriend somewhere
and I am way too busy
building a fake company
to be building a fake relationship.
[CLICKING TONGUE] If you say so.
That's great, you can
just put them, you know,
against the wall and
oh, here they are.
You guys can decide what's the best
- [PARTY HORN BLOWING]
- Ooh.
Did someone order fun?!
God, Miranda! Those are, um
Wow, gosh, those are very pink.
- Her favorite color!
- [CARRIE] Mm-hmm.
Oh, where do you want the
karaoke machine, Aunt Carrie?
- Um, is "not here" an option?
- [BRADY] I told you.
- [MIRANDA GASPS]
- You rented a karaoke machine?
No, I bought it. It was cheaper.
You said, "all out."
Nothing says "all out"
like balloons and karaoke!
- [BALLOON POPPING, PARTY HORN BLOWING]
- [CARRIE SHRIEKS]
Isn't it great?
They have confetti in them!
[KNOCKING]
[SIGHS]
I'm here to apologize in advance
because tonight,
there will be what
Wait, those are my pages.
Are you are you reading
are you reading my chapter right now?
Just finished.
It's brilliant.
- [SIGHS DEEPLY]
- That opening sentence?
"The woman wondered
what she'd gotten herself into."
It just stopped me dead in my tracks.
Really? I have oh,
my God, I'm so relieved.
And the way it flows is so propulsive.
Well, you may want
to stop complimenting me
because I came to tell you
that tonight there
will be noise upstairs.
A lot of noise.
Like, um, karaoke, birthday,
- Cosmopolitans-level noise.
- Oh, I see.
So, instead of gifting you
a hotel room,
which I did consider
I'm begging you to join us.
And if, um, you know,
you have any critique,
bad or, you know, I suppose good,
uh, you can tell me
over a drink and karaoke.
Regrettably, karaoke.
I love karaoke.
Well, that, my friend,
is what they call in the biz
[CHUCKLES] a plot twist.
[MIRANDA] Oh, Carrie.
- The caterer's here.
- Oh, already?
- Yeah.
- Oh.
Oops!
[WHISPERING] Here, let me
[CURIOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
[WORKER] Could one
of you give me a hand?
- Oh, hi.
- Hello.
- Here, let me help.
- Oh, okay. Thank you.
- Is that good?
- Oh, perfect.
Great.
[SIGHS] But do I have to come?
Well, no, honey,
I guess you don't have to come.
Okay, Rock, so we're leaving in 20.
- Get up.
- Mom said I didn't have to.
She obviously didn't mean it.
Lily, Mom's going through something.
I saw her sobbing
in the pantry yesterday.
She's been totally stressed
lately and needs us there.
Mom doesn't want me there like this,
and it's not even a big birthday.
You make Mom treat every one of
your birthdays like they're big ones!
The My Little Pony themed
eighth birthday
with actual ponies.
Your Fortnite 14th?
The super weird, "ironic"
Little Mermaid themed 17th
at the South Street Seaport.
The least we can do is be there.
I can't.
[SCOFFS]
Get out of the fucking bed, Ariel.
- [PEOPLE CHEERING]
- [HOST] For anybody in the audience
who's got a birthday today,
happy birthday to you!
Smile! Over here, Mr. Burton!
Okay, maybe we should stop
and take a picture
with the whole family.
Lily, come on, Mom wants a photo.
- [MIRANDA] Okay.
- Maybe later.
Okay, well,
why don't you at least sit up
because someone else will
want to sit on the sofa too.
[MIRANDA] N Uh, nope. Uh, hold on.
Uh, do-over with Charlotte
and Richard Burton.
He didn't look at the camera.
Oh, uh, okay.
- Rock, I guess we're out.
- Okay.
- [DOORBELL RINGING]
- [MIRANDA] Hey!
Who's a Richard Burton?
Mommy's birthday is today!
- Hi!
- Hello.
I'm guessing from the
proprietary heft of your door swing
- that you must be Carrie.
- Ah, yes, I am.
- Is my swing hefty?
- It is.
- [CARRIE] [CHUCKLES] Oh.
- I'm Joy, Miranda's friend.
Oh, hello!
- [MIRANDA] Hey! Mm.
- Hey.
[BOTH] Mwah!
Um, as you can see, Carrie,
we're a little more than friends.
Ah, yes, I already knew.
- She kisses and tells.
- [CHUCKLES]
- Here, I'll take that.
- Oh, thanks.
[CHUCKLES] Wow, quite the vocabulary.
- Impressive!
- [MIRANDA LAUGHING]
Come this way, you have
to meet the birthday girl.
Oh, my God! Is this Joy?!
- It is! Joy, this is Charlotte.
- Ah! Oh!
What a What a festive little hat.
Oh, yes. Yes, it is!
And meet the rest of my family.
This is Harry, and Rock,
and that's Lily over there.
- [JOY] Oh, look at you!
- And I'm out again.
Oh!
I've heard all about this
living legend from Miranda.
Well, she was very adamant
that I bring him tonight.
Well, naturally,
you really have to spend
every moment you have left with him.
I wouldn't let him leave my side!
- [DOORBELL RINGING]
- She's a real dog person.
[UPBEAT PARTY MUSIC PLAYING]
[GASPS] Happy Birthday!
Hi! You made it!
Oh, and you brought Henry!
I invited him. Dude.
- Dude.
- Harry, my man.
Oh! I am a person at the party.
- Herbert.
- How you doing?
No way!

Oh, they have karaoke.

have some fresh faces up here.
Uh, let me see. Where my girls at?
- Come and join me!
- Oh, God. Can she see me?
- Please tell me she can't see me.
- [MIRANDA] Let's, um
- Carrie!
- Yes?
Come on over.
We want Charlotte
to have some fun, right?
Oh, gosh, thank you, no,
but I'm just I'm too busy hosting.
Does anybody anybody need anything?
- You're good?
- No, thanks!
Um, Charlotte?
- Hmm?
- [MIRANDA] B-day girl,

I mean, like we used to

N-No, thank you, Miranda. I'm fine!
Okay, okay. Who can we [GASPS]
Hey, Lily!

Girls Just Want to Have Fun,

Come on, are am I
right, Lily? Am I right?
Girls just want to be left alone!
Oh, sorry.
Okay. [CHUCKLES]
- [MUSIC STOPPING]
- N-No.
No one wants to sing now,
so let's do gifts!
Girls just wanna open gifts,
am I right?
Uh, we're gonna do gifts now!
I didn't bring a gift, did you?
I have a rule. I don't get gifts
for anyone who owns in New York.
I brought a candle, just in case.
- Great. Put my name on it.
- Ooh, mine too.
We can't put three names
on a $40 re-gifted candle.
- Or can we?
- [DOORBELL RINGING]
- Mm-mm. Mm-mm.
- Why?
- No.
- Just do it.
- [DOOR CLOSES]
- She brought
Well, what the Pirates
of Park Avenue is that?
And since when does Louis Vuitton
- make an eyepatch?
- They don't.
It used to be a fanny pack,
but I was desperate.
- Aren't you handy?
- The eye doctor said
I had to cover it for a week
thanks to that infection
from that low-brow eyebrow technician.
[LAUGHING] Ahoy!
Me fashionable matey.
Mm. This was caused by you
sticking your dirty finger into my eye.
If you'd worked a little quicker
and finished the garden
before I stopped by,
we could have avoided an injury.
Are ye gonna make me
walk the plank, Cap'n?
Oh, Lulu, should we take the cake out
so it's room temp before we cut it?
- Sure.
- Oh, thanks.
Oh, and um, we need more champagne.
- You got it.
- Okay. Thank you.
[LULU] Bring out
more champagne, Lonnie.
Ooh, I think I'm gonna need something
a bit stronger than that, darling.
Oh, you came.
Well, I thought your karaoke
warning was a bit dramatic,
but it turns out
you were exactly right.
Show tunes carry straight down
through the floorboards.
- [MIRANDA] And here's the next one!
- [BITSY] Oh, oh, oh!
- That's mine! That one's from me!
- Wow!
I said no gifts!
I'm afraid I've come gift-less.
Oh, I, uh, I actually have
no idea what is happening.
This has somehow turned
into some sort of strange
- birthday/baby shower mashup.
- Ah.
Would you care to join me
on the back terrace
for a smoke?
Oh. I thought you were
asking me to join you
on the back terrace to jump off.
- [GASPS]
- [BITSY] Fendi.
- It's beautiful!
- Aw!
We are fucked.
I didn't know if it
was maybe a big birthday!
- No, no, no, no!
- [LIGHT LAUGHTER]
Well, it's impossible
to tell these days.
Everyone looks so good.
I know a woman, 80,
whose face is only 50.
Yes, she wears a turtleneck
swimsuit in the pool,
- but, you know, the face, gorgeous.
- [LAUGHTER]
I've been thinking,
and I'd like to know more about
you and your business, Anthony.
Oh. Well
Okay, that's nice. Ask away.
So, you're selling sex, yes?
Uh, no, I'm selling bread.
Yes, bread,
but with a bulge.
The uniform is all about sex, yes?
Well, I think it's more about fun.
Just it's just fun.
So, you think sex is just about fun?
Interesting.
- You seem nervous.
- [CRUNCHING LOUDLY]
Of course, I'm nervous.
I want you to like me.
Oh. Interesting.
[CHARLOTTE] Wow, gorgeous! Mm!
[SIGHS] It transported me to New York.
And then I realized,
"Wait, I'm in New York."
- [CHUCKLES]
- But the period motif,
which is [SCOFFS]
impossible, mind you,
I think you're really onto something.
Because it's such a modern sensibility,
but it's anchored in this
completely grounded
and beautifully detailed tableau.
[CARRIE CHUCKLES]
- The "woman"?
- Mm?
She's vibrant and
and she's completely alive.
I'm serious, I think
you should be really proud.
- [PARTY GUESTS CHATTERING]
- [CARRIE] Hmm.
Whoo!
[LULU] I need more champagne.
- That's mine.
- [MIRANDA GASPS]
That was so unnecessary of you.
- What did you get her?
- Well, I spoke to my vet,
and they suggested CBD treats
'cause they're supposed to be
really good for terminal-stage pets.
- So, I just got the whole lot.
- No, no, no, no!
[WHISPERING] You're not
supposed to know about the dog.
It's a secret!
Well, maybe, just maybe,
you should have given me
that very important information
a little bit earlier.
Oh! I, uh Excuse me, sorry!
- Oh, my goodness.
- Oh!
- [CHARLOTTE] You okay?
- Sorry! I'm so sorry.
Um, I I just realized,
just in this moment,
that I've I've given you
the wrong present.
- [CHARLOTTE] Oh!
- I'm so sorry, silly me.
I'm going to another party tomorrow!
- [MIRANDA LAUGHING]
- Okay!
[JOY] Sorry!
- Here!
- Oh.
Now, I'm officially
getting embarrassed!

That's from Anastasia and me.

- Harry!
- Oh, my God, Harry!
But, but, but, but, but
we caught it early,
I'm having surgery next week.
They say it will be fine.
The real tragedy here is that
I asked my lovely, devoted wife

That was not smart. It was not fair.
So, now, you can talk about it

[MIRANDA] It just
feels so I don't know.
S Effortless?
[CARRIE] Amazing.
I think people enjoyed the karaoke.
Sure, if that's the story
you're telling yourself.
It is.
And now, you have
your own karaoke machine
for all your future party needs.
Oh, yes, you do!
I do not have room at my apartment.
And you have all this space
- for a party, remember?
- [CHUCKLES] Mm.
I think Charlotte had a fun time.
- Aw, she did. I'm so glad.
- Oh!
Yay! Us!
And you and Duncan seemed
to be having fun as well.
Kinda caught a little vibe there.
Saw you across the room
laughing and sipping his drink.
Yes, I laughed and I sipped a drink.
What are you saying?
Wait, are you upset?
I don't understand
what's happening right now.
We were just doing a fun
little party debrief.
Miranda, I'm in a relationship.
[MIRANDA] Well, of course, you are!
I was just saying, it was
nice to see you having fun.
I don't have fun?
I'm I'm not saying
anything is going on.
It's just [SIGHS]
- You know what? Never mind.
- No, no, no, no.
No, no, no, don't don't
don't do that.
It it's just
what?
It's just, sometimes it seems like
[SIGHS]
like you're working
so hard with Aidan.
Well, yes, I I guess I am.
Not all relationships are effortless.
Yes. I got it.
I I know Joy and I have
only been together for
For what? A few weeks?
- A month.
- Well, that's great.
Aidan and I are over 20 years in,
and it's it's complicated right now.
So, yes, maybe I laughed
and had a sip of Scotch.
I am allowed to laugh and sip Scotch.
Of course, you are.
That's what I'm saying.
No, that's not what you're saying.
What are you really saying?
Nothing, just
"The woman wondered what
she had gotten herself into."
- It's in your book.
- Well, I know it's my book.
How do you know it's in my book?
You you left it here this afternoon,
and I I picked it up
to move for the caterer,
and I glanced at it.
Was I not supposed to read it?
I wrote that months ago.
Like, months and months ago.
So, you're not confused now?
It's fiction. Set in 1846.
Oh.
Well, I didn't read that far.
So, it's not you.
Uh, well, I'm glad.
I'm I'm sorry I I said
those silly things before.

- I I was really

No. No.

We're good, right?

Okay, well, we should head out.
Do you know anybody who, uh,
wants a top-of-the-line
karaoke machine?
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
You gave me that for another party.

Your first chapter

It's polished and
it's ready to publish,
and how am I supposed to hand
you my work in progress now?
Well, that was the deal
that we agreed to.
But can we get back to the,
"My work is thrilling" bit?
Oh, my God, Duncan, it is so good.

Alright, this is mine.

And I'm so terrified.

broke up with me.
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
[PEOPLE CHATTERING]
- [CARRIE] Mm.
- [CHARLOTTE] Ooh!
[BARISTA] Alison,
almond milk macchiato.
Poor Lily. Mm.
Breakups at that age
are so Bronte sisters.
You know, I still feel
a little of the pain
of my first high school breakup.
Well, it was only a few years ago.
Give it some time.
- Kevin Moss. Mm.
- [MIRANDA CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
Yeah, he said he was into me,
but it was just way too much.
[MIRANDA] Mm.
Guys, that may be my brand.
[LAUGHTER]
That flower market can kiss my ass.
It took so friggin' long,
I'll barely have enough time
to slap on a light coat
of bronzer before she arrives.
Before who arrives?
Giuseppe's shrink mother
is coming from Rome for a week.
And I am not a fan of therapy.
I tried it once.
He had all these insights.
- Ugh.
- Like I need that.
[CHUCKLES] Tidy up!
My future mother-in-law's on
her way over from the Carlyle.
So, at this point, I don't even know
how I'm gonna get Lily out of bed.
And with everything else
that I have on my plate,
it's the last thing I need,
is for my easy one
to just have a breakdown.
Why? What else do you
have on your plate?
Oh, my gosh, I wanted
to show you this new ring.
Ah, questo caffè è così dolce,
piccolo e intimo.
[SNIFFING] È il pane

get this? I've never seen this one.

- [MIRANDA] Hey!
[GIUSEPPE] Mama, I
want you to meet my friends.

- Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda,
this is my mother,
Dottoressa Gianna Amato.
Please, angel, why so formal?
We are all friends.
Ladies, call me Gia.
Oh, it's so nice to meet you, Gia.
And your English is perfect.
It should be. I was born in Buffalo.

- Made my escape at 19
- to study painting in Florence.
- [CARRIE] Mm.
I was going to be the next Botticelli.

a 19-year-old American, yes?

so here is my masterpiece.

I wanted to make the place
look its best for you.
I appreciate the effort.
Now, please, set that down.
It must be heavy

I said take it.

Uh, what should I call you? Mrs. Amato?
Gianna? Mrs. Gianna? Mom? Mama?

You may call me
Dottoressa Gianna Amato.
I'm afraid I made
a very bad first impression.
[PLUCKY MUSIC PLAYING]
You have some makeup on your neck, yes?
Yes.
[CARRIE] Hey, I think we
should throw Charlotte a party
for her birthday next week.
Okay! Let's do it at my new place!
I've been wanting to have
a little housewarming there anyway.
Well, actually, I think it
it should be a kind of bigger party.
And I have all that space,
plus you're working all next week,
so, um, you know,
- just let me plan it.
- Okay.
Well, it doesn't have
to be a big thing, though.
- It's not her 60th.
- [CHUCKLES] No, I know.
I know, I know, I just
I just feel like she
she really needs to have
some fun right now.
Why? Is something wrong?
Oh, no. What?
What's wrong with Charlotte?
Is she sick?
Is that what's on her plate?
No. No, no, no, no, no.
No, she's not Charlotte isn't sick.
Well, something is wrong, clearly!
- Are the kids okay?
- Yes, the kids
are absolutely okay!
- Okay.
- Okay.
And Harry?
- Is he sick?
- [SIGHS]
Oh, my God! Harry's sick.
No! No! No, Harry is not sick.
Well, someone is sick!
You just, like, froze
when I asked if
It It's it's the dog!
Richard Burton has dog cancer.
He has an incurable tumor.
- Oh, no.
- And he's dying.
Also, just don't say anything to her,
'cause she's really
She just she doesn't
wanna She's having a hard
she doesn't wanna talk about it.
Okay, yes.
We have to go all out
and make sure it's fun.
- All the fun.
- Yes.
- Charlotte needs fun.
- Yes!
Fun, fun, fun, fun, fun.
[SEEMA] I live two blocks away,

why am I taking an expensive,
dirty cab downtown

Why don't you just take a Uber?

so this party is supposed
to lift her spirits.

I simply don't think I could go on.

Nice to you, nice to Char, nasty to me?
I hate to confirm
your conspiracy theory,
but, um, I am meeting
Gia for lunch today.
Gia?
Now it's Gia, and it's lunch?
[CARRIE] Don't get mad. She invited me.
We kinda hit it off the other day.
Ah, of course, you did,
'cause you're not me.
- [PHONE CHIMES]
- Oh, my gosh, Anthony.
I have to get ready.
I'm sorry, I gotta go.
Go! Go! Have lunch with your "Gia."
But put in a good word for me?
What, you want me
to pimp you out to his mom?
You have to. I love him, he loves me,
he loves her, and she hates me.
And what's with the fancy airs?
And the accent?
She's from Buffalo,
home of the chicken wing.
Alright, I'll try.
Goodbye!
[CARRIE] So, yes,
I I write about love,
and men and women.
So, I'm always interested
in other people's love stories.
There's so much to say about
Giuseppe's father and myself.
Where to start?
Well [SIGHS]
I was 21, and his father was almost 50.
- [CARRIE] Hmm.
- [GIANNA GIGGLING]
[SIGHS] Shocking for America,
but for Roma, not so much.
Alessandro was my first man,
and after him,
the only man I ever wanted.
Mm. That's magical.
Well it wasn't all magic.
My husband's teen children
loathed me from day one.
Nothing I did mattered. Infuriating.
So much so, that I dropped art
and dove head-first
into Freudian theory,
just to try to figure out their psyche.
Sorry, I shouldn't spout on
about stepchildren, but
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
I guess Sancerre
is the gateway to truth.
- [BOTH LAUGH]
- Not at all.
It's actually it's very interesting.
My boyfriend has children, and, um
it's complicated.
Oh, so you're the enemy too?
No.
No, no, no, I I don't think.
Well
maybe with one.
So, do you have any, uh,
professional perspective to share?
[SIGHS] Don't waste years
trying to be who
you think they'll accept.
Inauthentic beings never win.
Be yourself.
That way, at least,
they're meeting the real you.
And just remember,
it's always complicated
when a new love enters
an established dynamic.
Hmm.
Well, speaking of new loves,
I would be remiss if I didn't tell you
that Anthony is
one of the most authentic
and loving people I've ever known.
Maybe I have him wrong.
Well, how do you have him?
I'd rather not say.
[LOUNGE MUSIC PLAYING]
- [EMPLOYEE] Hi, ladies.
- [CUSTOMER] Hi.
Oh, my goodness.

Well, any needs, I'm I'm here.

you are wearing that blouse.
I wasn't sure if it was
too bold of a color for you.
[SIGHS, CHUCKLES]

"So brave"?
You told Bonnie?
I had to tell somebody.
It was driving me crazy.
Do you know how hard it is
not to talk to anybody about it?
Do I? Yes, yes, I do!
I think I do!
You can tell Bonnie,
and I can't tell my friends?
Bonnie is at Bergdorf's.
She's not part of our lives.
Wha It's totally
different, babe. It just is.

perfect birthday gift this year.

Hey, stranger. What are we celebrating?
Clearly, not you finally
finishing Carrie's yard.
Well, good things take time.
You wanna you wanna
come outside and see?
Oh, I don't do dirt.
Seema's having a challenging day.
Which is even more reason for her
to attend Charlotte's birthday party.
Did you just backdoor
me a party invite?
I most certainly did,
because I need this party to be fun,
and no one's more fun than you.
- I'm fun.
- Well, "Fun Adam,"
would you like to join us
for a drink Saturday night?
I would. Yeah, we'll both be there.
Right, Seema?
Oh. [CLICKING TONGUE] Well, it depends
what I'm doing Thursday and Friday.
Wait, your your
left eye's a little red.
Well, of course, it is.
I started taking cabs
for the first time in years,
and beyond being so unsexy,
I think they gave me whatever this is.
It's a loose eyelash.
- Ooh.
- Uh, may I?
- It's clean.
- Mm-hmm.
[RHYTHMIC PERCUSSION MUSIC PLAYING]
Make a wish and blow.
I wish Carrie's yard was finished.
Are you gonna blow?
Don't make me call HR.
Okay, I'll blow for you.
[BLOWS QUICKLY]
Gonna turn the water off soon.
- Nice seeing you.
- [DOOR OPENS]
Well, what was that?
- Nothing.
- Sure felt like something.
Well, he's got
a yogi girlfriend somewhere
and I am way too busy
building a fake company
to be building a fake relationship.
[CLICKING TONGUE] If you say so.
That's great, you can
just put them, you know,
against the wall and
oh, here they are.
You guys can decide what's the best
- [PARTY HORN BLOWING]
- Ooh.
Did someone order fun?!
God, Miranda! Those are, um
Wow, gosh, those are very pink.
- Her favorite color!
- [CARRIE] Mm-hmm.
Oh, where do you want the
karaoke machine, Aunt Carrie?
- Um, is "not here" an option?
- [BRADY] I told you.
- [MIRANDA GASPS]
- You rented a karaoke machine?
No, I bought it. It was cheaper.
You said, "all out."
Nothing says "all out"
like balloons and karaoke!
- [BALLOON POPPING, PARTY HORN BLOWING]
- [CARRIE SHRIEKS]
Isn't it great?
They have confetti in them!
[KNOCKING]
[SIGHS]
I'm here to apologize in advance
because tonight,
there will be what
Wait, those are my pages.
Are you are you reading
are you reading my chapter right now?
Just finished.
It's brilliant.
- [SIGHS DEEPLY]
- That opening sentence?
"The woman wondered
what she'd gotten herself into."
It just stopped me dead in my tracks.
Really? I have oh,
my God, I'm so relieved.
And the way it flows is so propulsive.
Well, you may want
to stop complimenting me
because I came to tell you
that tonight there
will be noise upstairs.
A lot of noise.
Like, um, karaoke, birthday,
- Cosmopolitans-level noise.
- Oh, I see.
So, instead of gifting you
a hotel room,
which I did consider
I'm begging you to join us.
And if, um, you know,
you have any critique,
bad or, you know, I suppose good,
uh, you can tell me
over a drink and karaoke.
Regrettably, karaoke.
I love karaoke.
Well, that, my friend,
is what they call in the biz
[CHUCKLES] a plot twist.
[MIRANDA] Oh, Carrie.
- The caterer's here.
- Oh, already?
- Yeah.
- Oh.
Oops!

- Oh, okay. Thank you.
- Is that good?
- Oh, perfect.
Great.
[SIGHS] But do I have to come?
Well, no, honey,
I guess you don't have to come.
Okay, Rock, so we're leaving in 20.
- Get up.
- Mom said I didn't have to.
She obviously didn't mean it.
Lily, Mom's going through something.
I saw her sobbing
in the pantry yesterday.
She's been totally stressed
lately and needs us there.
Mom doesn't want me there like this,
and it's not even a big birthday.
You make Mom treat every one of
your birthdays like they're big ones!
The My Little Pony themed
eighth birthday
with actual ponies.
Your Fortnite 14th?
The super weird, "ironic"

The least we can do is be there.
I can't.

Lily, come on, Mom wants a photo.
- [MIRANDA] Okay.
- Maybe later.
Okay, well,
why don't you at least sit up
because someone else will
want to sit on the sofa too.
[MIRANDA] N Uh, nope. Uh, hold on.
Uh, do-over with Charlotte
and Richard Burton.
He didn't look at the camera.
Oh, uh, okay.
- Rock, I guess we're out.
- Okay.

Who's a Richard Burton?
Mommy's birthday is today!
- Hi!
- Hello.
I'm guessing from the
proprietary heft of your door swing
- that you must be Carrie.
- Ah, yes, I am.
- Is my swing hefty?
- It is.
- [CARRIE] [CHUCKLES] Oh.
- I'm Joy, Miranda's friend.
Oh, hello!
- [MIRANDA] Hey! Mm.
- Hey.
[BOTH] Mwah!
Um, as you can see, Carrie,
we're a little more than friends.
Ah, yes, I already knew.
- She kisses and tells.

- Here, I'll take that.
- Oh, thanks.
[CHUCKLES] Wow, quite the vocabulary.
- Impressive!

Come this way, you have
to meet the birthday girl.
Oh, my God! Is this Joy?!

Oh, yes. Yes, it is!
And meet the rest of my family.
This is Harry, and Rock,
and that's Lily over there.
- [JOY] Oh, look at you!
- And I'm out again.
Oh!
I've heard all about this
living legend from Miranda.
Well, she was very adamant
that I bring him tonight.
Well, naturally,
you really have to spend
every moment you have left with him.
I wouldn't let him leave my side!

more champagne, Lonnie.

you were exactly right.

I said no gifts!

Saw you across the room
laughing and sipping his drink.
Yes, I laughed and I sipped a drink.

Wait, are you upset?
I don't understand
what's happening right now.
We were just doing a fun

How do you know it's in my book?

Was I not supposed to read it?
I wrote that months ago.
Like, months and months ago.
So, you're not confused now?
It's fiction. Set in 1846.

This time, I made some for myself ♪
'Cause lately I been certain
there's no further to go ♪
Yeah, you had the chance to love me ♪
But apparently you won't,
no, you won't ♪
So, even if I could, wouldn't
go back where we started ♪
I know you're still waiting,
wondering where my heart is ♪
Pray that things won't change ♪
But the hardest part is ♪
You're realizing maybe I,
maybe I ain't the same ♪
And what you're, maybe I,
maybe I ain't the same ♪
And what you're waiting for
ain't there no more anyway ♪
