Quotes
Carrie: The problem is that you two have very different definitions of what constitutes cheating.
Charlotte York: I don't tolerate it.
Samantha Jones: And I'm more forgiving and realistic about human nature.
Miranda: That's because you cheat.
Carrie: I just don't think that you can define cheating in absolute terms.
Miranda: You think it's okay to cheat?
Carrie: Well, I think maybe there's a cheating curve. Someone's definition of what constitutes cheating is in direct proportion to how much they themselves want to cheat.
Miranda: That's moral relativism.
Carrie: I prefer to think of it as quantum cheating.
Samantha Jones: The fact is, the act of cheating is defined by the act of getting caught. One doesn't exist without the other.
Carrie: [voiceover] I wondered, was Samantha right? Is cheating like the proverbial tree in the forest? That it doesn't exist if there's no one around to catch you? In a gravity-free world of anything goes, what constitutes cheating?
