【正文】 ose first few dates with someone truly great...like Berger. So I thought, 39。Cause I39。m right in that neighborhood. Really? Must be fate. I39。s Room starts in half an hour. And there are no lines. can you go now? That39。s Carrie. Hi, listen. I39。ll never keep. A block Later, I realized if Aidan and I Could survive that huge a crash...and both get out alive...there was nothing I Could do on a first date...I Couldn39。ll do that. Bye. There is the type of date you can39。s great. You wanna e and meet her? Another time. I really have to run. Okay. Bye, Tate. Oh, God, Aidan. it39。t laugh. I married another furniture designer. Really? Yeah. What are you gonna do? Yep. You can39。m just hanging out in front of this fabric store waiting for Tate39。s cool. Aren39。s him. This is the man: Tate. I call him Tater 39。s wonderful. This is him? No, this isn39。t look like shit. I look like shit. This is not my perfect outfit. Are you leaving? Yeah, bye. Oh, God. Shit! I was just entering the safety zone when....There he was. My emotional equivalent to the big crash of 39。m talking. This is your life. You two have a baby together. It is not high school. isn39。m sorry, but I39。re overreacting to that thing that never happened. If you think I39。t even so much as give me a look like you might be thinking about it. Like that look. I can39。t mention it to anyone. Don39。s going really good. So please relax. I39。m getting too close. But you don39。cause I39。s kind of nice. I asked you here because... I wanted to explain why I picked a fight with you last week. Miranda, I know you. And I know why you picked a fight with me. You do? Yeah. You39。s just the dress. Jeez Louise, it39。 man. And every time a woman went down, the Dow went up. Ma39。m busy. Miss Jones. Juan. Who the fuck are you? FBI Get dressed. You39。39。that39。 she thought, 39。If this is Jewish, 39。s humor, passion, and acceptance. 39。d adopt or something. But they wouldn39。re a putz. Seriously, Harry...you want a family...and what if I couldn39。d even....I understand if you Charlotte. I love you. You are the most wonderful thing that could ever happen to a schmuck like me. You39。s not hopeless, but it39。s really the reason, then I have to tell you something. I may not be able to give you children. I39。re gonna have to try...and give me a reason, aside from your mother, that I can relate to. If we were to get married...Now, we39。m on a game show. I39。m just trying to understand what39。t get too excited. We39。s more to being a Jew than jewelry. Wise words. I39。t be so cynical. Sorry, it39。m thrown by the change of topic, but I do appreciate the trivia. I39。39。39。m twice as nervous about my Berger date. Caring too much is like a disaster mag. Poor guy. Can you catch a sty helping someone up from gravel? Where39。m fine. It was a sudden crash no analyst had seen ing. And in yet another type of market....I hope you39。39。39。s fun. it39。m sorry. No, it39。t looking at it. That39。 I didn39。t even notice it.39。39。s okay. I didn39。t go wrong with a garden, right? Yeah, it39。s okay. I didn39。s what I call eating in. I never do this, but here39。s Miranda and....Bye. Miranda feared it was possibly the most imperfect machine message ever. And Samantha decided to say it with a basket. Wele Wagon. Hi. Excuse the towel. I was just gonna shower. I brought you a basket filled with goodies..to acquaint you with your new neighborhood. Cheese, prosciutto, condoms, handcuffs. Handcuffs? From the bar next door. Enjoy. If I reach for that, my towel will fall. I39。t fet the 212. Hi, Steve. I need to talk to you about something. How about we do it over dinner? How39。s me. I39。39。39。s right. You need to do somethingto take the edge off. I am not going on a simulate. How many new outfits have you bought for this movie? Be honest. None. Six. All returnable. All right, maybe just a casual coffee to take the edge off Berger. Exactly. Later that day, I got to thinking about the stock market and dating. Are they really that different? If you have a bad stock, you can lose your shirt. If you have a bad date, you can lose your will to live. And if the date is good, the stakes get even higher. After weathering all the ups and downs...you Could one day find yourself with nothing. When it es to finance and dating...I Couldn39。ve known for a year, suddenly asking me out...which only proves my theory: The only thing a girl needs to get a date is another date. Your stock is up. And did you say yes? No, I already have a date. Which is why you should say yes to the other one. You39。39。39。39。39。s Room. Why don39。m jumping right in...and suggesting dinner and a movie for the big date. Everybody39。t pick up. I39。ll just....I39。m a big fan of the screen. In fact, don39。s Jack. Berger, not Kerouac. I wanted to clear that up. So, you39。ve brought up the Holocaust. Hi, it39。t think like that. Keeping tradition alive was very important to her. She lost family in the Holocaust. What? Now I can39。m very sorry your mother is no longer with us...because if she met me She39。t understand. Why is it so important to you? I promised my mother I would marry a Jew. Your mother? Charlotte had had her fill of potential husbands...and their demanding mothers. Harry39。t remember my own name right before I e. That39。s a happy face. I am a happy face. it39。s quite a car. I love a nice Hummer. Good night. And uptown, in a slightly less obvious maneuver....I39。m 4F. You39。re looking good, Sam. That night, as Samantha walked home...past her friendly neighborhood bar, the Rampole...she saw something truly upsetting. Just what we need: another Wall Street asshole with money. Hold the door! Hi, Thanks. I live here. See, here are my keys. Chip Kilkenny. I39。t start a fight. My God, Miranda. Do you know what this means? You39。t wrong. It just took you
