Sex and The City

"Pick-A-Little, Talk-A-Little".  Sex & The City. By Julie Rottenberg & Elisa Zuritsky. Dir. David Frankel. Perf. Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, Kim Cattrall, and Kristin Davis. HBO. 13 July 2003. 

In this episode, like many other episodes of Sex & The City, the girls discuss the issue of communication. After some shockingly blunt advice from Carrie's new boyfriend, Berger, Miranda and the girls realize that the communication between men and women is made more complicated than necessary.  Berger informs Miranda that men will always make it clear when they are interested in a woman.  This play upon the idea of communication and language because although men and women in this case speak the same language, their words seems to have different meanings. Men and women often suffer when it comes to communicating with each other as a result. Carrie and the girls learn from Berger that it could be made simpler if they kept his rule in mind.
