Jeremy scene from Sex and the City, practice script

JEREMY

Hey!

CARRIE

You look great.

JEREMY

Well, I knew you looked great because I saw you on your book, but...gotta say, even better in person.

CARRIE

I’m so glad you called.

JEREMY

I’m spending the month in Connecticut, so I had to look you up.

CARRIE

How are you? I heard you were married to someone you met in business school.

JEREMY

Yeah. We definitely miscalculated that one. Got divorced a couple years ago. So I’m on my own again.

CARRIE

(That never occurred to her)

Oh.

JEREMY

What about you? Seeing anybody?

CARRIE

JEREMY

CARRIE

JEREMY

CARRIE

JEREMY

CARRIE

Maybe... But my fictional plans fell through, so I think I’m available.

CARRIE (CONT’D)

Hey, I didn’t even ask what you were doing in Connecticut.

CARRIE

Sometimes you need to get away.

JEREMY

And sometimes you wonder why you stayed away so long.

CARRIE

Well, this is my place.

JEREMY

Nice building.

CARRIE

Yeah, I love it here.

JEREMY

I feel like I want to kiss you, but I’m not sure what...

CARRIE

I know! It’s very unclear.

JEREMY

This isn’t a first date. We’ve already dated.

CARRIE

And we’ve kissed.

JEREMY

Many times.

CARRIE

Hours.

JEREMY

We were in a lip lock for most of

CARRIE

So what’s one more kiss?
