<p align="left"><font size="3"><b>Monica:</b> There's nothing to tell! He's just some guy

I work with!</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><b>Joey:</b> C'mon, you're going out with the guy! There's

gotta be something wrong with him!</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><b>Chandler:</b> <font color="#0000FF">All right Joey, be

nice.&nbsp; </font>So does he have a hump? A hump and a hairpiece?</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><b>Phoebe:</b> Wait, does he eat chalk?</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3">(They all stare, bemused.)</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><b>Phoebe:</b> Just, 'cause, I don't want her to go through

what I went through with Carl- oh!</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><b>Monica:</b> Okay, everybody relax. This is not even a

date. It's just two people going out to dinner and- not having sex.</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><b>Chandler:</b> Sounds like a date to me.</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3">[Time Lapse]</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><b>Chandler:</b> Alright, so I'm back in high school, I'm

standing in the middle of the cafeteria, and I realize I am totally naked.</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><strong>All:</strong> Oh, yeah. Had that dream.</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><b>Chandler:</b> Then I look down, and I realize there's a

phone... there.</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><b>Joey:</b> Instead of...?</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><b>Chandler:</b> That's right.</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><b>Joey:</b> Never had that dream.</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><b>Phoebe:</b> No.</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><b>Chandler:</b> All of a sudden, the phone starts to ring.

<font color="#0000FF">Now I don't know what to do, everybody starts looking at me. </font></font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3" color="#0000FF"><b>Monica:</b> And they weren't looking at

you before?!</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><font color="#0000FF"><b>Chandler:</b> Finally, I figure

I'd better answer it, </font><font color="#000000">a</font>nd it turns out it's my mother,

which is very-very weird, because- she never calls me!</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3">[Time Lapse, Ross has entered.]</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><b>Ross:</b> (mortified) Hi.</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><b>Joey:</b> This guy says hello, I wanna kill myself.</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><b>Monica:</b> Are you okay, sweetie?</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><b>Ross:</b> I just feel like someone reached down my

throat, grabbed my small intestine, pulled it out of my mouth and tied it around my

neck...</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><b>Chandler:</b> Cookie?</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><b>Monica:</b> (explaining to the others) Carol moved her

stuff out today. </font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3" color="#0000FF"><b>Joey:</b> Ohh.</font></p>

color="#0000FF"> </font>(to Ross) Let me get you some coffee.</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3" color="#0000FF"><b>Ross:</b> Thanks.</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><b>Phoebe:</b> Ooh! Oh! (She starts to pluck at the air

just in front of Ross.)</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><b>Ross:</b> No, no don't! Stop cleansing my aura! No, just

leave my aura alone, okay?</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3" color="#0000FF"><b>Phoebe:</b> Fine!&nbsp; Be murky!</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><font color="#000000"><b>Ross:</b> </font>I'll be fine,

alright? Really, everyone. I hope she'll be very happy.</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><b>Monica:</b> No you don't.</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><b>Ross:</b> No I don't, to hell with her, she left me!</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><b>Joey:</b> And you never knew she was a lesbian...</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><b>Ross:</b> No!! Okay?! Why does everyone keep fixating on

that? She didn't know, how should I know?</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><b>Chandler:</b> Sometimes I wish I was a lesbian... (They

all stare at him.) Did I say that out loud?</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3" color="#0000FF"><b>Ross:</b> I told mom and dad last night,

they seemed to take it pretty well.</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3" color="#0000FF"><b>Monica:</b> Oh really, so that

hysterical phone call I got from a woman at sobbing 3:00 A.M., &quot;I'll never have

grandchildren, I'll never have grandchildren.&quot; was what?&nbsp; A wrong number?</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3" color="#0000FF"><b>Ross:</b> Sorry.</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><b>Joey:</b> Alright Ross, look. You're feeling a lot of

pain right now. You're angry. You're hurting. Can I tell you what the answer is?</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3">(Ross gestures his consent.)</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><b>Joey:</b> Strip joint! C'mon, you're single! Have some

hormones!</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><b>Ross:</b> I don't want to be single, okay? I just... I

just- I just wanna be married again!</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3">(Rachel enters in a wet wedding dress and starts to search

the room.)</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><b>Chandler:</b> And I just want a million dollars! (He

extends his hand hopefully.)</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><b>Monica:</b> Rachel?!</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><b>Rachel:</b> Oh God Monica hi! Thank God! I just went to

your building and you weren't there and then this guy with a big hammer said you might be

here and you are, you are!</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><strong>Waitress:</strong> Can I get you some coffee?</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><b>Monica:</b> (pointing at Rachel) De-caff. (to All) Okay,

everybody, this is Rachel, another Lincoln High survivor. (to Rachel) This is everybody,

this is Chandler, and Phoebe, and Joey, and- you remember my brother Ross? </font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><b>Rachel:</b> Hi, sure!</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><b>Ross:</b> Hi. </font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3">(They go to hug but Ross's umbrella opens.&nbsp; He sits

back down defeated again.&nbsp; A moment of silence follows as Rachel sits and the others

expect her to explain.)</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><b>Monica:</b> So you wanna tell us now, or are we waiting

for four wet bridesmaids?</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><b>Rachel:</b> Oh God... well, it started about a half hour

before the wedding. I was in the room where we were keeping all the presents, and I was

looking at this gravy boat. This really gorgeous Lamauge gravy boat. When all of a sudden-

(to the waitress that brought her coffee)Sweet 'n' Lo?- I realized that I was more turned

on by this gravy boat than by Barry! And then I got really freaked out, and that's when it

hit me: how much Barry looks like Mr. Potato Head. Y'know, I mean, I always knew looked

familiar, but... Anyway, I just had to get out of there, and I started wondering 'Why am I

doing this, and who am I doing this for?'. (to Monica) So anyway I just didn't know where

to go, and I know that you and I have kinda drifted apart, but you're the only person I

knew who lived here in the city.</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><b>Monica:</b> Who wasn't invited to the wedding.</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><b>Rachel:</b> Ooh, I was kinda hoping that wouldn't be an

issue... [Scene: Monica's Apartment, everyone is there and watching a Spanish Soap on TV

and are trying to figure out what is going on.]</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><b>Monica:</b> Now I'm guessing that he bought her the big

pipe organ, and she's really not happy about it. </font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3" color="#0000FF"><b>Chandler:</b> (imitating the characters)

Tuna or egg salad?&nbsp; Decide!</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3" color="#0000FF"><b>Ross:</b> (in a deep voice) I'll have

whatever Christine is having.</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><b>Rachel:</b> (on phone) Daddy, I just... I can't marry

him! I'm sorry. I just don't love him. Well, it matters to me! </font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3" color="#0000FF">(The scene on TV has changed to show two

women, one is holding her hair.)</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><font color="#0000FF"><b>Phoebe:</b>&nbsp; If I let go of

my hair, my head will fall off.</font> <b>Chandler:</b> (re TV) Ooh, she should not be

wearing those pants. <b>Joey:</b> I say push her down the stairs. <strong>Phoebe, Ross,

Chandler, and <b>Joey:</b></strong>&nbsp; Push her down the stairs! Push her down the

stairs! Push her down the stairs!</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3">(She is pushed down the stairs and everyone cheers.)</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><b>Rachel:</b> C'mon Daddy, listen to me! It's like, it's

like, all of my life, everyone has always told me, 'You're a shoe! You're a shoe, you're a

shoe, you're a shoe!'. And today I just stopped and I said, 'What if I don't wanna be a

shoe? What if I wanna be a- a purse, y'know? Or a- or a hat! No, I'm not saying I want you

to buy me a hat, I'm saying I am a ha- It's a metaphor, Daddy!</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><b>Ross:</b> You can see where he'd have trouble.</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><b>Rachel:</b> Look Daddy, it's my life. Well maybe I'll

just stay here with Monica. </font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><b>Monica:</b> Well, I guess we've established who's

staying here with Monica...</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><b>Rachel:</b> Well, maybe that's my decision. Well, maybe

I don't need your money. Wait!! Wait, I said maybe!!</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3">[Time Lapse, Rachel is breating into a paper bag.]</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><b>Monica:</b> Just breathe, breathe.. that's it. Just try

to think of nice calm things... <b>Phoebe:</b> (sings) Raindrops on roses and rabbits and

kittens, (Rachel and Monica turn to look at her.) bluebells and sleighbells and- something

with mittens... La la la la...<font color="#0000FF">something and noodles with

string.&nbsp; These are a few...</font></font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><b>Rachel:</b> I'm all better now.</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><b>Phoebe:</b> (grins and walks to the kitchen and says to

Chandler and Joey.) I helped!</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><b>Monica:</b> Okay, look, this is probably for the best,

y'know? Independence. Taking control of your life.<font color="#0000FF">&nbsp; The whole,

'hat' thing.</font></font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><b>Joey:</b> (comforting her) And hey, you need anything,

you can always come to Joey. Me and Chandler live across the hall. And he's away a lot.</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><b>Monica:</b> Joey, stop hitting on her! It's her wedding

day!</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><b>Joey:</b> What, like there's a rule or something?</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3">(The door buzzer sounds and Chandler gets it.)</font></p>

horrible sound.</font></p>

it's Paul.</font></p>

want me to stay?</font></p>

Guy!</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3" color="#0000FF"><b>Phoebe:</b> What does that mean? &nbsp;

Does he sell it, drink it, or just complain a lot? (Chandler doesn't know.)</font></p>

it starts to get a little red.</font></p>

to tonight?</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><b>Rachel:</b> Well, I was kinda supposed to be headed for

Aruba on my honeymoon, so nothing!</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><b>Ross:</b> Right, you're not even getting your honeymoon,

God.. No, no, although, Aruba, this time of year... talk about your- (thinks) -big

lizards... Anyway, if you don't feel like being alone tonight, Joey and Chandler are

coming over to help me put together my new furniture.</font></p>

 

<p align="left"><font size="3"><b>Chandler:</b> (deadpan) Yes, and we're very excited

about it. </font></p>

gonna hang out here tonight.&nbsp; <font color="#0000FF">It's been kinda a long day.</font></font></p>

That's like saying there's only one flavor of ice cream for you. Lemme tell you something,

Ross. There's lots of flavors out there. There's Rocky Road, and Cookie Dough, and Bing!

Cherry Vanilla. You could get 'em with Jimmies, or nuts, or whipped cream! This is the

best thing that ever happened to you! You got married, you were, like, what, eight?
