20 best moments from Sex and the City

“New York is over.” (“Splat!”)

The next Sex and the City moment on our list doesn’t even have to do with any of the main girls. Instead, it’s all about Lexi Featherston (played by Kristen Johnston), notorious New York party girl and socialite.

When Carrie attends a party at her Vogue editor’s home with her boyfriend Aleksandr, or The Russian, she’s surprised to see Lexi there, and Lexi is apparently just as shocked, because she shouts across the room, “Carrie Bradshaw, where the [expletive] have you been hiding?!”

Carrie later walks in on Lexi doing lines of cocaine in the bathroom, and when Carrie asks if people were still doing that, she says “no, sadly.” She’s very much your typical aging party girl with no direction in life, still stuck in the past. And she isn’t ready to give up that party life, either, as is made apparent by her rant against New York City.

"When did everybody stop smoking? When did everybody pair off? This used to be the most exciting city in the world, now it’s nothing but smoking near a [expletive] open window. New York is over. O-v-e-r. Over. No one’s fun anymore! Whatever happened to fun? God, I’m so bored I could die."

And just like that, her heel breaks, and she slips right out the window and dies. It’s kind of morbid to laugh, but this has got to be one of the best scenes in Sex and the City history. The idea of someone’s last words being “God, I’m so bored I could die” is just too perfect.
