Setting: Home.

Carrie Bradshaw: (wags tail) Excellent. I want a chew toy and a new blanket and a charm for my collar and a new leash and a pony-
Kim: You'll be six.
Carrie Bradshaw: (horrified) I don't wanna be sick!
Kim: Six years.
Carrie Bradshaw: I don't wanna be sick for years and years!
Nina: (waking up startled) What-what-?? What's this about being sick? Who's sick? Leave the vet out of this- I feel fine!
Carrie Bradshaw: Tomorrow is my birthday! I'm gonna be sick!
Nina: (suspiciously) Who said?
Carrie Bradshaw: She did. The Girl.
Nina: Oh. Well. Good luck with that. As long as it's not me. (starts to paw at blanket again on dog bed)
Carrie Bradshaw: I don't wanna have a seashore! I'm too cute to have seashores!
Nina: How dare you. I'm cute and I have seizures! (lies down)
Carrie Bradshaw: But you're old!
Nina: (dryly) I prefer to think of myself as aged. Like wine.
Kim: Come to think of it Carrie Bradshaw, you DO whine a lot...
Carrie Bradshaw: What. Ever. Tomorrow's my birthday and I refuse to grow old and be sick.
Fade as the "aged" jack russell and Kim watch Carrie Bradshaw chase a piece of fluff being blown by the fan....
