Mario: Venice is the most beautiful, the most romantic city in the world.
Carrie: Really? I heard it was sinking.
Mario: That’s why you must come immediately… before it’s all gone.
Carrie: I couldn’t say I wasn’t tempted. I realized that I could leverage myself like the human equivalent of a sexy junk bond. I’d parlay that $1,000 into a trip to Venice into a nice piece of jewelry… a rich husband, followed by a richer divorce. I’m sorry. I’m gonna have to say good-bye. I’m here with a friend. She’s waiting for me at the bar.
