Cynthia Nixon: Miranda Hobbes

Quotes 

• Carrie : [on the phone]  I can't believe it's been so long. I've been meaning to call you, I've just been...

  Miranda Hobbes : Fucking your brains out?

  Carrie : Yeah, well, that's the least of it.

• [Talking about oral sex] 

  Charlotte York : The truth is, I hate doing it.

  Samantha Jones : Honey, you can't be serious!

  Miranda Hobbes : Are you telling us you never perform this act?

  Carrie : She'll juggle, she'll spin plates, but she won't give head.

  Charlotte York : I don't like putting it in my mouth! I have a very sensitive gag reflex and it makes me want to puke!

  Miranda Hobbes : That's one way to say no.

  Charlotte York : It's not like I haven't tried. I practiced on a banana, I pretended it was a Popsicle, but... I just don't like it.

  Miranda Hobbes : Personally, I'm loving it, up to the point where the guy wants me to swallow.

  Carrie : Well that's just, that's really a judgment call.

  Samantha Jones : Some men just take it so personally if you don't.

  Miranda Hobbes : Some guys don't give you a choice!

  Carrie : Well that's just bad behavior.

  Charlotte York : Are you honestly telling me you like it?

  Carrie : Well, it's not my favorite thing on the menu, but you know, I'll order it from time to time, and, with the right guy, it can be nice.

  Miranda Hobbes : Oral sex is like God's gift to women. - You can get off without worrying about getting pregnant.

  Samantha Jones : Plus the sense of power is such a turn-on, maybe you're on your knees, but you got him by the balls.

  Charlotte York : You see, that is the reason that I don't want to go down this road.

  Carrie : Well sweetheart, if you're gonna get all choked up about it...

  [Carrie and Miranda exchange looks about the pun] 

  Carrie : , just don't do it, don't do it!

  Miranda Hobbes : But if you don't go down on him, how can you expect him to go down on you?

  Charlotte York : I don't.

  Miranda Hobbes : Oh, well, forget it! I only give head to get head!

  Samantha Jones : Me, too.

• Carrie : [voice over narration]  There were so many questions I wanted him to answer, but would not ask. Not tonight at least. No, tonight I would ask Miranda.

  [to Miranda] 

  Carrie : He said, "I miss you, baby." Do you think that was meant to be some kind of coded mea culpa?

  Miranda Hobbes : You mean like what he really meant was, "I've been a complete idiot. Please forgive me for having dinner with that other woman."?

  Carrie : Exactly.

  Miranda Hobbes : Could be.

  Carrie : Well no, because that would mean that everything he ever said that I interpreted as sincere is subject to interpretation, and in that case, what I perceive as his feelings for me may only really be reflected projections of my feelings for him.

  Miranda Hobbes : What?

  Carrie : Oh God, I'm freaking. I've gotta stop. Stop.
