The Carrie Diaries

Before there was sex...

Before there was the city, there was just me,

Carrie... Carrie Bradshaw in Castlebury, Connecticut.

What about an internship in Manhattan?

Manhattan? Aah! No way!

Come work for me at "Interview"" you would be fantastic.

I am in love with Sebastian Kydd.

Walt was never gonna love you in any real way.

I don't understand.

I don't think Walt likes girls.

Are you... gay?

Maggs, don't do this.

I wanna go to the prom with my hot geek boyfriend.

Is this for me? I wanted it to be perfect for us.

Here's to two loose-lipped losers

who created their own messes.

- We've been friends for a long time. - That means something.

Maybe all it means is that it's been a long time,

because it certainly doesn't mean you're a good friend.

Larissa will be going to Kyoto for part of the summer

and said I could stay in her loft.

You living alone in New York would be a big deal.

I wouldn't be alone. I have Walt.

Hey, Dorrit. Carrie's not home.

I don't know what's going on with you two,

- but you'll work it out. - I'm not so sure.

The Carrie Diaries 02x01 Win Some, Lose Some Originally Aired October 25, 2013

(Dead or Alive's "You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)" playing)

In life, we care about winning...

You're not gonna beat me.

I just did.

Checkmate.

you lose.

Because losing sucks...

Especially if it means losing your boyfriend

and your oldest friend.

the sting of defeat is made a little easier

by a great place to live...

A great summer job...

An awesome new look...

And a whole new attitude.

Carrie?

Carrie.

Why are you waking me up so early?

It's not early. It's noon.

Oh, crap. I'm so late for work.

Um, it's Saturday.

So why did you wake me?

Because you promised your dad you'd go home this weekend.

Well, I don't wanna go.

See, this is why I'm happy that my parents are on the cape.

I don't have to go home and answer 20 questions

until at least August.

Or bump into half the town of Castlebury

while picking up takeout.

Or wonder if the whole town is talking about you

behind your back.

Or laughing about how your boyfriend

kissed your best friend.

Or snickering that maybe you're gay.

Although Donna did seem to squash that one

by telling everybody that we were having mad sex again,

and Maggie was pissed.

Whatever Donna says is gospel in that town.

True. (Sighs)

So has she been regaling you with tales of summer scandals

- while you've been living here? - Of course.

She lives for it.

Has anything interesting been going on... with anyone?

You mean with Sebastian?

Am I that obvious?

You're that human.

I'm such a loser.

Look, he is in lame-o Castlebury,

and you're here with the coolest job,

going to the coolest parties.

You win.

You're the winning... est.

Okay. What are you not telling me?

What do you mean?

You're trying way too hard to make me feel better.

Donna may have told me

that Maggie got a job at the country club.

(Loverboy's "Working For The Weekend" playing)

Okay, here are your virgin strawberry daiquiris.

one for you. And one for you.

Okay.

Could you be a doll and get me a yellow umbrella

for my drink?

- Why? - So it matches my outfit.

- You know what? I want a pink one for mine. - Green for me.

Ha. Well, well, look who it is.

The greatest abs in town.

- Whatever. He's not all that. - It's funny.

He barely comes to the club since you started working here.

Guess he doesn't think you're so great, either.

It has nothing to do with me.

Oh, please. You blew up his relationship

with "The Living Doll."

So he hates you now.

Takes two to tango.

Not when you're leading.

You just drag the poor soul along for the ride.

And don't forget my umbrella. Yellow!

- Hey. - Hey.

How's everything? You need a drink?

All good.

Probably better if you don't hang here too long.

We're just talking.

In front of the whole town.

Things will get back to Carrie.

Don't want her to get the wrong idea.

And what idea would that be?

That there could ever be something going on between us.

Oh, please. We just kissed that one time. It was nothing.

Yeah, tell that to her.

I did. I've apologized to Carrie, like, a hundred times.

She won't hear me out.

You guys weren't even together when it happened.

You don't get it, do you?

She trusted us.

I lost her because of this, because of what we did.

She was my best friend since kindergarten,

and now that's over.

Well, it's not over for me.

it doesn't feel like work.

I mean, it is. It's challenging, but it's fun.

- Have you met Andy Warhol yet? - No.

He's like Charlie from "Charlie's Angels"...

All powerful but we never see him.

That does make you Sabrina?

I know you think she isn't pretty,

but I like her. She's the smart one.

No, I'm more like the receptionist

you never see outside of Bosley's office.

I'm too low on the totem pole

to even talk to him on speakerphone.

I'm sure it's just a matter of time.

You've taken to Manhattan like a duck to water.

Yeah. I guess I have.

H & H Bagels and lox from Zabar's?

I'd say you've learned what's important.

And you've, uh, been...

Making friends?

Um, ew.

Are you trying to ask Carrie about guys? Gross.

I'm gonna have to agree. It's kinda creepy.

Oh, great, 'cause I really don't wanna talk about that stuff anyway.

I mean, not that I wanna seem disinterested.

It's cool, dad. I know you care.

For the record, there's no one.

Oh, thank God.

I'll get it.

Just glad I don't have to worry about Dorrit dating.

You don't know about Miller?

Who's Miller?

How could he not have known

that Dorrit has a boyfriend?

Well, apparently, "in love" Dorrit

is just as sullen with my dad as she always is.

Wait. Is he fuming? He must be fuming.

I told him to be careful how he handles it,

because whatever he wants her to do,

she'll do the exact opposite.

I mean, all my dad wants to do is meet Miller.

Well, meeting parents can be rough.

But not for you.

Nope. They've been shockingly okay.

My G.P.A. improved,

and I added some extracurriculars,

so they think West is good for me.

So you've been having a good summer?

Totally.

We've been taking S.A.T. prep classes

and A.P. calculus to beef up our course load.

Yeah. Sounds awesome. Are you doing anything fun?

That is fun.

But I refuse to go to the country club

now that that skank Maggie is working there.

You don't have to do that for me, Mouse.

But what she did to you and Walt was awful.

Not gonna forgive her and not going to the country club

and risk seeing her,

even if it means I have to miss the 4th of July Barbecue.

Oh, but you love going to that. You should go.

Take West with you.

I do love the fireworks

and the red, white, and blue sparkler sheet cake.

So go. Maybe we will, but I'm ignoring that tart.

You wanna come with us?
