Challenge #15 - Things That Remind Me of “Sex and the City”
[Mid brunch]
KIM
It’s wild. I swear he was quoting Mr. Big as he was telling me he didn’t want to see me again. If I wasn’t one hundred percent certain he’s never seen it, I would’ve thought he watched it to get the tone just right.
KELLY
It’s weird how sometimes that happens. When you experience something deja vu but it’s a scene from a tv show or a movie. It happened to me a lot in high school, I was like, am I Regina George?
KIM
Please, you were Karen Smith at best.
KELLY
Just because I have ESPN or something?
[They all laugh]
KIM
I wish my life had better writers.
COURTNEY
Better writers, or better characters?
KIM
That’s a good point. I think the main cast is pretty good, but really short changed on love interests.
COURTNEY
You have to get off network tv. Get that HBO money.
KELLY
You could have a pet dragon. Or that closet from Clueless!
KIM
Maybe I just want a Hallmark Christmas writer. Low stakes, happy ending…
KELLY
But then you’d have to move to like… Idaho. Do you really want to fall in love with a potato farmer?
KIM
I mean, falling in love over fries? Doesn’t sound like the worst thing.
KELLY
You just think that because you’ve never lived on a farm. It is, truly, the worst thing.
COURTNEY
Oh, yeah, I forgot you moved upstate for a bit when you were with…
KELLY
Stephen. Yeah. It was an absolute nightmare. Which was a shame because other than his need to keep the family farm in the family he was a really great guy.
KIM
You are such a Carrie.
COURTNEY
They say art imitates life, but life can sometimes just be a bad copy of a soap opera.
