  • Natasha: Yes, I'm sorry about it all. I'm sorry that he moved to Paris and fell in love with me. I'm sorry we ever got married. I'm sorry he cheated on me with you, and I'm sorry that I pretended to ignore it for as long as I did. I'm sorry I found you in my apartment, fell down the stairs, and broke my tooth. I'm very sorry that after much painful dental surgery, this tooth is still a different color than this tooth. Finally, I'm very sorry that you felt the need to come down here. Now not only have you ruined my marriage, you've ruined my lunch.

  • Charlotte: Is it so much to ask that you not wear your dress up around your see-you-next-Tuesday?

  • Charlotte: Will you please not use the f-word in Vera Wang?

  • Carrie: Have you ever been in love?

    Mr. Big: Abso-fucking-lutely

    Miranda: My shrink says thats a very common fear.

  • Miranda: I once was broken up with by a guy's doorman: "I'm sorry Ms. Hobbes, Jonathan won't be coming down. Ever."

  • Samantha: Fuck me badly once, shame on you. Fuck me badly twice, shame on me.

  • Stanford: Oh, my god, she's fashion roadkill!

  • Carrie: I will never be the woman with the perfect hair, who can wear white and not spill on it.

  • Samantha: I'm a tri-sexual. I'll try anything once.

  • Samantha: You men have no idea what we're dealing with down there. Teeth placement, and jaw stress, and suction, and gag reflex, and all the while bobbing up and down, moaning and trying to breathe through our noses. Easy? Honey, they don't call it a job for nothing.

  • Miranda: What's the big mystery? It's my clitoris, not the sphinx.

    Carrie: I think you just found the title of your autobiography.

  • Carrie: Balls are to men what purses are to women. It's just a little bag, but we'd feel naked in public without it.

  • Miranda: I said no white, no ivory, no nothing that says 'virgin'. I have a child. The jig is up.

  • Carrie: [repeated line while narrating her column] I couldn't help but wonder...
