- Carrie: Maybe the past is like an anchor holding us back. Maybe, you have to let go of who you were to become who you will be.
- Carrie: [last lines]
- Carrie: [voice over] If Louis was right, and you only get one great love, New York may just be mine. And I can't have nobody talking shit about my boyfriend. A short while later, I had a thought...
- [out loud]

- Carrie: Maybe the past is like an anchor holding us back. Maybe you have to let go of who you were, to become who you will be.
- [Charlotte has just told the girls about a magazine article she read which said that a woman only gets two "great loves" in her lifetime]
- Charlotte: So far I've only had one great love - Trey.
- [to Miranda]
- Charlotte: How many great loves have you had?
- Miranda: Zero.
- Carrie: Really? What about Steve?
- Miranda: Steve's a friend, not a core-shaker.
- Samantha: Well, I'm done with great love. I'm back to great lovers.
- Miranda: [to Carrie] You?
- Carrie: I refuse to define love in those limited terms
- Miranda: [laughing] I had to!
- Charlotte: Oh, come on Carrie! Aidan and Big!
- [Charlotte pauses as she realizes what she just said. Carrie looks up at her]
- Carrie: One, two. And according to you, I'm done!
- Charlotte: No, no, it was a stupid article. It was at the dentist!
- Carrie: No, no, no, no, too late now. You said it, it's over for me. "Here lies Carrie. She had two loves and lots o' shoes."
