六人行1-1The One Where Monica Gets a New Roommate (The
Pilot-The Uncut Version)
[Scene: Central Perk,
Chandler, Joey, Phoebe, and Monica are there.]
Monica: There's nothing to
tell! He's just some guy I work with!
Joey: C'mon, you're going out
with the guy! There's gotta be something wrong with
him!
Chandler: All right Joey, be
nice. So does he have a hump? A hump and a
hairpiece?
Phoebe: Wait, does he eat
chalk?
(They all stare,
bemused.)
Phoebe: Just, 'cause, I don't
want her to go through what I went through with Carl-
oh!
Monica: Okay, everybody relax.
This is not even a date. It's just two people going out to dinner
and- not having sex.
Chandler: Sounds like a date
to me.
[Time Lapse]
Chandler: Alright, so I'm back
in high school, I'm standing in the middle of the cafeteria, and I
realize I am totally naked.
All: Oh, yeah. Had that
dream.
Chandler: Then I look down,
and I realize there's a phone... there.
Joey: Instead
of...?
Chandler: That's
right.
Joey: Never had that
dream.
Phoebe: No.
Chandler: All of a sudden, the
phone starts to ring. Now I don't know what to do, everybody starts
looking at me.
Monica: And they weren't
looking at you before?!
Chandler: Finally, I figure
I'd better answer it, and it turns out it's my mother, which is
very-very weird, because- she never calls me!
[Time Lapse, Ross has
entered.]
Ross: (mortified)
Hi.
Joey: This guy says hello, I
wanna kill myself.
Monica: Are you okay,
sweetie?
Ross: 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...
Chandler:
Cookie?
Monica: (explaining to the
others) Carol moved her stuff out today.
Joey: Ohh.
Monica: (to Ross) Let me get
you some coffee.
Ross:
Thanks.
Phoebe: Ooh! Oh! (She starts
to pluck at the air just in front of Ross.)
Ross: No, no don't! Stop
cleansing my aura! No, just leave my aura alone,
okay?
Phoebe: Fine! Be
murky!
Ross: I'll be fine, alright?
Really, everyone. I hope she'll be very happy.
Monica: No you
don't.
Ross: No I don't, to hell with
her, she left me!
Joey: And you never knew she
was a lesbian...
Ross: No!! Okay?! Why does
everyone keep fixating on that? She didn't know, how should I
know?
Chandler: Sometimes I wish I
was a lesbian... (They all stare at him.) Did I say that out
loud?
Ross: I told mom and dad last
night, they seemed to take it pretty well.
Monica: Oh really, so that
hysterical phone call I got from a woman at sobbing 3:00 A.M.,
"I'll never have grandchildren, I'll never have grandchildren." was
what? A wrong number?
Ross: Sorry.
Joey: 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?
(Ross gestures his
consent.)
Joey: Strip joint! C'mon,
you're single! Have some hormones!
Ross: I don't want to be
single, okay? I just... I just- I just wanna be married
again!
(Rachel enters in a wet
wedding dress and starts to search the room.)
Chandler: And I just want a
million dollars! (He extends his hand hopefully.)
Monica:
Rachel?!
Rachel: 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!
Waitress: Can I get you some
coffee?
Monica: (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?
Rachel: Hi,
sure!
Ross: Hi.
(They go to hug but Ross's
umbrella opens. He sits back down defeated again. A moment of
silence follows as Rachel sits and the others expect her to
explain.)
Monica: So you wanna tell us
now, or are we waiting for four wet bridesmaids?
Rachel: 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.
Monica: Who wasn't invited to
the wedding.
Rachel: 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.]
Monica: Now I'm guessing that
he bought her the big pipe organ, and she's really not happy about
it.
Chandler: (imitating the
characters) Tuna or egg salad? Decide!
Ross: (in a deep voice) I'll</
