• [Charles comes running after Carrie] 

  Charles : Ehm, look. Sorry, sorry. I just, ehm, well, this is a very stupid question and... , particularly in view of our recent shopping excursion, but I just wondered, by any chance, ehm, eh, I mean obviously not because I guess I've only slept with 9 people, but-but I-I just wondered... ehh. I really feel, ehh, in short, to recap it slightly in a clearer version, eh, the words of David Cassidy in fact, eh, while he was still with the Partridge family, eh, "I think I love you," and eh, I-I just wondered by any chance you wouldn't like to... Eh... Eh... No, no, no of course not... I'm an idiot, he's not... Excellent, excellent, fantastic, eh, I was gonna say lovely to see you, sorry to disturb... Better get on...

  Carrie : That was very romantic.

  Charles : Well, I thought it over a lot, you know, I wanted to get it just right.

• Charles : Let me ask you one thing. Do you think - after we've dried off, after we've spent lots more time together - you might agree *not* to marry me? And do you think not being married to me might maybe be something you could consider doing for the rest of your life?

  Carrie : I do.

• Carrie : Just before I go, when were you thinking of announcing the engagement?

  Charles : Uhh... I'm sorry, whose engagement?

  Carrie : Ours. I assumed, since we slept together, that we would be getting married. What did you think?

  Charles : [looks surprised]  What? I'm... gosh, you know, that's, umm... It takes a lot of thinking, that kind of thing, I mean, uhh... Obviously, I'm...

  [chuckles and relaxes] 

  Charles : You're joking.

  [Carrie chuckles as well] 

  Charles : God... For a moment there, I thought I was in "Fatal Attraction". I though you were... Glenn Close, and I was gonna get home and find my pet rabbit in the stove.

  Carrie : No... But I think we both missed a great opportunity here.

• Carrie : First of all, l'd like to thank all of you who've flown in from the States. I'm really touched. As for the rest of you, l'd have thought that lots of frightful Americans flying in was an excuse for staying away, so I thank you, too.

• Carrie : I think we both missed a great opportunity here.

• Carrie : Having a good night?

  Charles : Yes. It's right up there with my father's funeral for sheer entertainment value.

• Charles : There I was, standing there in the church, and for the first time in my whole life I realised I totally and utterly loved one person. And it wasn't the person standing next to me in the veil. It's the person standing opposite me now... in the rain.

  Carrie : Is it still raining? I hadn't noticed.

• Carrie : Well, the first one, of course, not easily forgotten - was kinda nice. Two - hairy back. Three, four, five. Six was on my birthday in my parents' room.

  Charles : Which birthday?

  Carrie : Seventeenth.

  Charles : We've only reached seventeen?

  Carrie : Oh, you know, I grew up in the country. Lots of rolling around in haystacks. Okay, seven. Mmm. Eight, unfortunately, was quite a shock. Nine, against a fence. Very uncomfortable. Don't try it.

  Charles : I won't.

  Carrie : Ten, oh, was gorgeous. Just heaven, just - oh - he was wonderful.

  Charles : I hate him.

  Carrie : Eleven, obviously after ten, disappointing. Twelve through seventeen - the university years. Sensitive, caring, intelligent boys. Sexually speaking, a real low patch. Eighteen broke my heart. Years of yearning.

  Charles : I'm sorry.

  Carrie : Twenty, oh, my God! I can't believe l've reached twenty. Twenty-one, elephant tongue. Twenty-two, kept falling asleep. That was my first year in England.

  Charles : I do apologize.

  Carrie : Twenty-three and twenty-four together. That was something.

  Charles : Seriously?

  Carrie : Twenty-seven, oh that was a mistake.

  Charles : Suddenly at twenty-seven, you make a mistake?

  Carrie : Yes, he kept screaming. It was very off-putting. I nearly gave up on the whole thing. But, Spencer changed my mind. That's twenty-eight. His father, twenty-nine.

  Charles : With his father?

  Carrie : Thirty, eh! Thirty-one, oh, my God, Thirty-two - was lovely. And then my fiancé, that's thirty-three.

  Charles : Wow! So, I came after your fiancé?

  Carrie : No, you were thirty-two. So there you go. Less than Madonna, more than Princess Di - I hope. And, how about you? How many have you slept with?

• Carrie : Our timing has been very bad.

  Charles : Yes it has been. Very bad.

  Carrie : It's been a disaster.

  Charles : It has been, as you say, very bad indeed.

• [Charles and Carrie are in bed after the first wedding, removing each other's clothes] 

  Carrie : What about this? Do you think a vicar would think... things had slipped just a little bit... out of his control?

  Charles : I think he might. This kind of thing is really meant... to bring the honeymoon into the service itself.

  Carrie : Why do you think it's called "honeymoon"?

  Charles : Um, I don't know... I suppose it's, uh, "honey" because it's sweet as honey, and "moon" because it's the first time a husband got to see his wife's bottom.

• Carrie : Well, it was nice not quite meeting you. It was a great speech.

  Charles : Thanks.

  Carrie : Well, l'm going now.

  Charles : No! No, no, no, no. No, don't go. We can meet now! The evening's just getting going.

  Carrie : Oh, I think we both know that's a big lie.

  [leaves] 

• Carrie : I have to go.

  Charles : Where?

  Carrie : America.

  Charles : That is a tragedy.

• Charles : Maybe we could just - skulk around here for a bit and then - go back down.

  Carrie : Now, that's a thought. I don't usually skulk a lot; but, I suppose I could skulk if skulking were required. Do you skulk regularly?

  Charles : No. No, I don't normally - think of myself as a skulker but...

  Carrie : Well, why don't you come in and skulk for a while - and we'll see?

• Carrie : I noticed the bride and groom didn't kiss in the church, which is kind of strange. Where I come from, kissing is very big.

  Charles : Is it? Yes. Well, I think you're right. We are probably more reserved. you know, 'You may now kiss the bride' isn't actually in the Book of Common Prayer.

  Carrie : I always worry l'll go too far, you know, in the heat of the moment.

• Carrie : This present thing is great.

  [Charles nervously chuckles] 

  Carrie : I should've gotten married years ago.

  [to the Shop Assistant] 

  Carrie : Did anybody go for the Pygmy?

  Shop Assistant - Wedding Two : The young man was thinking about it.

  Carrie : Oh, no!

  [to Charles] 

  Carrie : Just get - just get me an ashtray.

• Carrie : You want to come up for a nightcap?

  Charles : You sure?

  Carrie : Well, yes. I think we can risk it. I'm pretty sure I can resist you. You're not that cute.

• Carrie : There comes a point when you're so wet, you can't get any wetter.
