Cynthia Nixon: Miranda Hobbes

Quotes 

• Shrink : [Miranda is having dreams about having not been selected for a hypothetical threesome by any of the other girls]  So you're saying you are sexually attracted to your girlfriends?

  Miranda : No, but if your friends won't fuck you, who will?

• Charlotte York : Jack wants us to do a threesome.

  Miranda : Of course he does. Every guy does.

  Samantha Jones : Threesomes are huge right now. They're the blow job of the nineties.

  Charlotte York : What was the blow job of the eighties?

  Samantha Jones : Anal sex.

  Carrie : Any sex, period.

  Miranda : Don't let him pressure you into it. It's just this guy's cheap ploy to watch you be a lesbian for a night.

  Samantha Jones : Don't knock it till you tried it.

• Samantha Jones : [Discussing whom to call into the threesome]  Just make sure that the other woman isn't a friend. Use somebody random, you know, somebody you meet in a bar or something.

  Miranda : That's romantic!

  Charlotte York : No, I think that I'd feel safer with a friend. With someone I could trust, like Carrie.

  Carrie : Oh, gee, I'm flattered. But umm, I'd go with someone who has a little more experience, like Sam.

  Samantha Jones : Well, thanks. But there is something sexy about a first-timer like Charlotte.

  Charlotte York : Really?

  Miranda : [feeling out of the loop]  Oh great, no, forget about me.

  Samantha Jones , Charlotte York , Carrie : Oh, come on!

  Miranda : You know, I'd do it with you guys. It's like, it's like picking teams for dodge ball all over again.

  Carrie : [voice over narration]  Was Samantha right? Were threesomes the new sexual frontier? No question. Guys were infatuated with threesomes. And when I started looking, they were everywhere. After all, our lives are built on threesomes. Fat, low-fat, non-fat. First, Business, Economy. Moe, Larry, Curly. Maybe we were never meant to do it with only one other person. Maybe threesomes were the relationship of the future. Meanwhile, Samantha had been busy guest starring in a show I like to call 'Sam Does The Married Guy'.

• Shrink : So what do you think your dream meant?

  Miranda : I'm in a sandbox with Charlotte, Sam, and Carrie, and none of them will play with me. Please, it's obvious.

  Carrie : [voice over narration]  Across town, Miranda was dealing with her own nightmare.

  Miranda : Look, I know it's juvenile, but it bothers me. I'm attractive, I'm smart, right? Plenty of people should want me for a threesome.

• Samantha Jones : This is ideal No muss, no fuss.

  Carrie : Sounds like you're selling toilet bowl cleaner.

  Miranda : Does this color turn you on?

  Samantha Jones : [voice over narration]  You had to hand it to Miranda. She was determined.

• Carrie : [voice over narration]  That afternoon was a first for Samantha. She successfully screwed a guy in under two minutes. The more Miranda analysed, the worse her nightmares got.

  Miranda : So the four of us get in a cab, only they won't let me sit in the back with them. They make me ride up front with the drive who happens to be the original Chris from 'The Partridge Family'.
