Carrie: Five hours later, Charlotte s night was just beginning. She and Jack1 had just had another fantastic date--dancing for dyslexia.
Jack: So, what do you think of her? Is she hot?
Charlotte: Jack!
Jack: You re right. Maybe she s more your taste.
Charlotte: Stop it.
Woman: Have a light?
Charlotte: Sorry, I don t smoke.
Woman:That s a shame.
Jack: Did you see that? She was flirting2 with us.
Charlotte: I think she was flirting with you.
Jack: Charlotte, you are such a turn-on, and you have no idea. You re giving off this sexual energy all the time. A vibe like, you ve got a fire inside of you. She d be crazy not to be in to you.
Carrie: Who knows whether it was her vodka or her vibe but Charlotte suddenly did feel a little warm.
Charlotte: I think she put her hand on my leg.
Jack: So should I ask her to join us?
Charlotte: Do you think it means I should do it? Have a threesome? Jack says that I have a fire inside me.
Carrie:You tell him they make a cream for that.
Charlotte: I m serious.
Carrie: I don t know, it s your call, but don t do it just to make Jack happy.
Charlotte: But maybe it would bring us closer.
Carrie: Sweetie, don t you think it s weird3 that you re thinking of sleeping with someone you don t know to get closer to Jack?
Charlotte: How well do we ever know the people we sleep with?
Carrie: That was the thing about Charlotte. Just when you were about to write her off as a Park Avenue Pollyanna, she d say something so right on, you d think she was the Dalai Lama.
Charlotte: Do you think my hair is too shiny today?
Carrie: And then, she d say something else.
Charlotte: Do you?
Carrie: But the bigger question remained.
