When Sandford Couldn't Help But Wonder if Carrie Had a Shrink
"How can you not have a shrink? This is Manhattan. Even the shrinks have shrinks. I have three," Stanford told Carrie in the episode "Games People Play," season two, to which she replied, "No, you don't."
But as he put it, "Yes, one for when I want to be cuddled, one for when I want tough love and one for when I want to look at a beautiful man."
"That's sick!" Carrie responded as he interjected, "Which is why I see the other two."
Stanford's Favorite Hobby
Stanford's motto? "We all judge. That's our hobby. Some people do arts and crafts. We judge."
Beauty Sleep Banter
"Oh God, I love Sleeping Beauty! The music, the sets, the costumes! It's so romantic!" Carrie gushed in the episode "The Turtle and the Hare," season one. But Standford brought her back to reality, saying, "You only like it because she gets to sleep for a hundred years and she doesn't age."
No Hotline Bling
Although this landline quote might be outdated, the sentiment still rings true. "Monogamy is on its way out again. It had a brief comeback in the '90s, but as the millennium approaches, everyone's leaving their options open," Standford explained to Carrie in the episode "The Monogamists," season one, to which she responded, "Come on, you wouldn't commit to a nice guy, given the option?"
He replied, "I can't even commit to a long-distance carrier."
Stanford's Love Life
"Puberty is a phase, 15 years of rejection is a lifestyle," he bluntly told Carrie in "The Turtle and the Hare," season one.
Happily Ever After
Stanford's dating life was just as complicated as everyone else's. However, he also got his own happy ending. In the second Sex and the City film, Stanford married Anthony (Mario Cantone). They are rumored to still be together in the upcoming revival series, And Just Like That.
Big Facts for The Big Apple
As Standard once famously said, "A New Yorker who does not take the subway is not a New Yorker you can trust."
