Alison Pill: Maggie Jordan

Quotes 

• "Sex And The City" Tour Guide : To your left is the famous brownstone where Carrie Bradshaw lived, loved and lost. Thanks to Carrie we all got to live the typical life of a single woman in New York City!

  Maggie Jordan : [who was just splashed by the tour bus as it pulled up]  Hey! No you didn't! I'm a typical single woman in New York City! I don't wear heels to work because the typical woman's job doesn't exclusively involve gallery openings! And I know Carrie must've made boatloads writing her eight-hundred-word column for a newspaper no one's ever heard of, but I just spent my last seven dollars having a bite with my best friend, who, by the way, is not available at 3 PM on a Wednesday to console me about some guy because she, too, has a job! And mostly when you fall for a guy and he's going out with your best friend, it doesn't work out! Things get really bad!
