<p>[Scene: Central Perk, it’s the same scene from the end of last week’s show.
|
||
Phoebe and Rachel are sitting on the couch as Ross enters.]</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Hey!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Hey, so did everything go okay with the annulment?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Oh, yeah, no problems. It’s all taken care of.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Ross, thank you. Hey, do you guys wanna go see a movie?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Oh yeah, why not?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Okay, umm, I’m gonna get my sweater. (Walks away.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Okay. (Sits down next to Phoebe.) You uh, you wanna hear something weird?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Always.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> I didn’t get the annulment.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> What?!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> We’re still married! Don’t tell Rachel. See you later. (He gets
|
||
up leaving Phoebe in shock.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>[Cut to outside Central Perk.]</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> (To Rachel) Hey, do you have any gum?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Oh? Yeah! Sure!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> (running out) Wait! Wait! Hi! Listen, Ross can I just talk to you for
|
||
just a second?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Oh but Phoebe, we’re gonna be late for the movie.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>(A cab pulls up.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Oh, there’s a cab! Taxi!! (The cab stops and she opens the door.)
|
||
Good timing, my God, huh? Here you go. (Pushes Rachel in and closes the door.) </p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Yeah, we’re, we’re actually just gonna walk ‘cause
|
||
it’s right up there at the Angelica.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Oh, the Angelica!! Go! Go! (She bangs on the cab’s roof and it
|
||
pulls away.) (To Ross) You didn’t get the annulment?!!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> I know.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Ross?!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Well, I tried! But when I got to my lawyer’s office all I could hear
|
||
was, "Three divorces. Three divorces!" Look, I just don’t want my tombstone
|
||
to read, Ross Gellar, Three Divorces.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Don’t be worried about that! Your tombstone can say whatever you
|
||
want it to say! It could say, Ross Geller, Good at Marriage! Y’know? Mine’s
|
||
gonna say Phoebe Buffay, Buried Alive.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Look, all I know is I-I can’t have another failed marriage!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> So okay what? You’re gonna be married to a girl who doesn’t
|
||
even know about it?!—Op, <b>woman</b>! Sorry.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Well, okay so, I don’t have it all worked out quite yet. Just
|
||
don’t say anything to Rachel, please?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Rachel is one of my closest friends. (Pause) Although, being the only
|
||
one who knows anything about this does makes me feel special. Okay!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>(Rachel’s cab backs up.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> (to the driver) Okay, stop-stop! Phoebe?!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Hey Rach!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> What was that?!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Sorry, mix up. Hey, how was the movie?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> I haven’t seen it yet!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Well then you’d better hurry! The Angelica! Go! Go! (Bangs on the
|
||
roof again and off they go.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Noooooooo!!</p>

<p>{Transciber’s note: In case you’re wondering, and I know you are. Their names
|
||
are all back to normal. Just in a slightly smaller font than usual to allow Courteney Cox
|
||
Arquette to fit on one line and not be smaller than the rest of their names. Now, on with
|

the show…}</p>

<p>[Scene: Monica and Rachel's, Chandler and Monica are cuddling on the couch.]</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Y’know when we move in together, can I get a gumball machine?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> Of course! Joey wouldn’t let you have one?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> No. When it comes to sweets, he’s surprisingly strict.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> Hey, have you figured out a way to tell him you’re moving out? </p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> No, no, I keep trying, y’know? I can get out, "Joey, I have
|
||
too…" but then I lose my nerve and I always finish with, "…go to the
|
||
bathroom." He may think I’m sick.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> Y’know, I really have to tell Rachel, but I… We just have to
|
||
get it over with! Y’know, the next time we see them we’re just gonna tell them.
|
||
Okay? That’s it.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Oh, so that’s this is gonna work now? You’re just gonna
|
||
order me around all the time?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> Pretty much.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> All right.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> (entering) Hey Monica!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> Hi!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> (To Chandler) Hey man, you feeling any better? (Chandler answers him
|
||
with some guttural sounds that only he can make and that no human can transcribe.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> Joey, we have something to tell you.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> Oh my God! You’re pregnant!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> No-o-o! (To Monica) No? (She nods no.) No-o-o! Look Joey, here’s
|
||
the thing, Monica and I have decided to live together, here. So, I’m gonna be moving
|
||
out man.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> Wow! (Tearing up) Well, uh… Hey! I’m really happy for you guys!
|
||
Congratulations! (Kisses Monica on the cheek) See you later. (Starts for the door on the
|
||
verge of tears as Monica stops him.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> Wait! Joey! Joey! Are you okay?!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> Yeah, I gotta go! I got an acting job. (Turns towards the door, pauses,
|
||
and turns back.) Like you’d believe that. This sucks!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Look, I-I’m just gonna be right across the hall and I promise
|
||
you, the minute Monica and I break up I’m moving right back in with you!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> (To Monica) Okay! Look-look-look, uh, if you’re gonna be moving in
|
||
with him I feel it’s my responsibility to tell you the truth about him! Okay?
|
||
He’s a terrible roommate! Terrible! He uh, forgets to umm… Oh-oh he always, he
|
||
always umm—Oh, who am I kidding! He’s the best roommate ever! (Hugs Chandler.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>[Scene: Central Perk, Phoebe is on the couch as Monica enters.]</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> Hey Pheebs! </p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Hey!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> Hey, have you seen Rachel?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> No, why?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> I have some pretty exciting news!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> (gasps) You’re pregnant!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> No! Chandler and I are moving in together!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Ooh! That’s good! Wow! But now if you were pregnant, what would you
|
||
name it? Hint: Phoebe.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>(Ross returns from getting some coffee.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Hey! Hi!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> Hey!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> What’s up?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> Well umm, Chandler and I are moving in together.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Oh my God. Ohh, my little sister and my best friend…shaking up. Oh,
|
||
that’s great. That’s great. (Kisses and hugs her.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Guys, I’m happy too.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> Okay, come here! (Phoebe joins them in the hug.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Wow! Big day huh? People moving in, people getting annulled… (Winks
|
||
at Ross.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> Okay, I gotta go find Rachel but umm, if you guys see her could you
|
||
please try to give her some really bad news so that mine doesn’t seem so bad?
|
||
(Exits.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Bye.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Hmm, something bad to tell Rachel… Bad news for Rachel, what could
|
||
that be?!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Could ya just, could ya just lay off, please? All right? My life is an
|
||
embarrassment! I should go live under somebody’s stairs!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Ross, it’s not that big a deal! So you’ll been divorced three
|
||
times, you’ll still have a life, you’ll go on dates…</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> (interrupting) No! No, I won’t! I’ll be at the bottom of the
|
||
dating barrel now. The only guys below me will be Four Divorce Guy uh, Murderer Guy,
|
||
and-and, Geologists.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Ross, you’re being ridiculous! Okay? You are cute and smart and
|
||
sweet and that is <b>much</b> more important than three stupid divorces!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Oh yeah? Have you ever dated anyone who has been divorced three times?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Y’know that’s really fair. Y’know? Most guys who have
|
||
been divorced three times are like 60. Ross, nobody cares about this except you! This-this
|
||
embarrassment thing is all in your head! Here, I’ll show you! Come here.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> What?! Why?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>(She grabs his arm and drags him over to a table where three beautiful women are
|
||
sitting. Now, I’m going to go out on a limb and say that their names are Stephanie,
|
||
Karin, and Meg. Okay, so I looked at the credits. Of course, only Meg is named later on,
|
||
so I’ll have to guess who is Stephanie and who is Karin. But, we’ll cross that
|
||
bridge when we come to it.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> (to the girls) Hi! Hi! Listen, my friend Ross is about to be divorced
|
||
for the third time, but wouldn’t you date him?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> And if you wait right here, I’ll go get Ross. (Phoebe grabs his arm
|
||
and prevents him from escaping.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>[Scene: Monica and Rachel's, Monica is pacing anxiously waiting for Rachel.]</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> (entering) Hey!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> Ugh, I thought you were Rachel!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> (looking down) What gave me away?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> I just tell her, I have to get it over with. I told Ross and Phoebe and
|
||
she’s the only one left!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Okay, so that’s it, everybody knows! It’s official,
|
||
we’re moving in together. No turning back. Are ya scared? Are ya?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> No.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Wow that was my scariest voice! You’re very brave.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>(They hug as Rachel enters.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Hey!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Hey.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Ugh, the worse day! Y’know, you think you’re making progress
|
||
at work and then your boss calls you Raquel.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Hey listen, for the first four years of my work everybody called me
|
||
Sha-la-lap. (Awkward silence ensues.) Seriously.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> I believe you. So, it was right in the middle of a staff meeting so of
|
||
course no one else wants to correct her so everyone else is calling me Raquel! By the end
|
||
of the day, the mailroom guys were calling me Rocky!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Well, I-I still think you’re very-very nice and very pretty…</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> What?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> (To Monica) All yours babe. (Walks away.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> Have a seat. (They sit at the table.) Okay, listen umm, Chandler and I
|
||
are going to live together, here.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Oh my God! That’s so great! I’m so happy for you guys! </p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> Really?!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> And that was so sweet of you to ask! Oh my God, the three of us are
|
||
gonna have such a good time living together!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> Yes, we are. (Chandler is frantically trying to get Monica to correct
|
||
her.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> And Chandler, you’re gonna have to watch those long showers you
|
||
take in the morning because you know Raquel can’t be late.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Rach…</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> Yeah, he’s gonna work on that.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Ohh! This is <b>so</b> exciting! Oh God… (Gasps and starts to sing)
|
||
<i>Come and knock on my door</i>…</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> (singing) <i>We’ll be waiting for you</i>…</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>{Transciber’s note: I’ll finish that one for those of you who don’t know
|
||
what they’re talking about. <i>Where the towels are Hers and Hers and His,

Three’s Company too</i>! Yeah, that’s the theme song for <i>Three’s Company</i>.}</p>

<p align="center"><strong>Commercial Break</strong></p>
|
||
|
||
<p>[Scene: Central Perk, Phoebe is hosting an impromptu roundtable discussion with
|
||
Stephanie, Karin, and Meg about Ross’s three divorces.]</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> …once you know the stories, it’s not that bad. First marriage,
|
||
wife’s hidden sexuality, not my fault. Second marriage, said the wrong name at the
|
||
altar, a little my fault. Third marriage, well they really shouldn’t allow you to get
|
||
married when you’re that drunk and have writing all over your face, Nevada’s
|
||
fault.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Okay, so what do you think ladies? Who wouldn’t be interested? Who
|
||
wouldn’t want to date him?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Stephanie:</b> Well the divorces don’t bother me, I’d date him. But, not
|
||
while he’s still married.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Okay, what about you? (Points to Karin) Wouldn’t you want a date?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Karin:</b> Actually, I’m dating at all anymore. See, I figured out that I was
|
||
only dating guys that were like y’know bad for me, so until I work that out…</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> (interrupting) Whatever! What about you Meg?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Meg:</b> Well, I don’t care about the divorces either, but I wouldn’t date
|
||
him. It’s just that he’s <b>obviously</b> still in love with this Rachel girl.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> What?!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> (leaning to him) She said, "He’s obviously still in love with
|
||
this Rachel girl." (He glares at her.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> This is crazy! I mean, yes-yes Rachel is my good friend and I-I have loved
|
||
her in the past, but <b>now</b>, she is just my wife! Phoebe, will you-will you help me
|
||
out here?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Well, I thought you loved her when you-when you married her.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> We were drunk! I would’ve married uh, <b>Joey</b> with that amount of
|
||
alcohol!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Hey! You could do a lot worse than Joey Tribbiani!! </p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> (to the panel) Look, I’m sorry, but you guys are wrong. I <b>just</b>
|
||
don’t want to be divorced three times.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Yes, and now he’s using this three divorces reason because he <b>wants</b>
|
||
to stay married to her because he loves her. I must say, "Well done!" Bravo Meg.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> (getting up) Okay! Fine! Fine! If-if this is what you think, forget about
|
||
the whole three divorce thing! Okay, I-I’ll go to my lawyer’s office right now
|
||
and get this marriage annulled! Okay?! Because she means nothing to me! Noth—(leans
|
||
down to Meg’s ear)—Nothing!!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Meg:</b> Okay now I wouldn’t date you because you seem a little creepy.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Karin:</b> I am <b>so</b> attracted to him right now.</p>

<p>[Scene: Monica and Rachel's, Chandler and Monica are still debating about how to tell

Rachel that Chandler’s moving in and she’s moving out.]</p>

<p><b>Chandler:</b> Okay, when are we gonna tell Rachel what is actually gonna happen?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> Soon! I-I just couldn’t before. You saw how upset Joey got! I

couldn’t do that to her, she’s my best friend!</p>

please tell Rachel though?</p>
|

for one.)</p>

misunderstanding before.</p>

together we meant <b>alone</b> together.</p>

that.</p>
|

really sorry. And listen, you take as much time as you need to move out okay? There’s

absolutely no rush.</p>

|

wasn’t angry or sad. (Sits down, slightly disgusted.)</p>

|
||
|

<p><b>Monica:</b> I mean, all I’m asking for is just a little emotion! Is that too
|

much to ask after six years?! I mean what? Are-are-are Rachel and I not as close as you
|
||
guys?! I mean do we not have as much fun?! Don’t I deserve a few tears?!! I mean

we-we told Joey, he cried his eyes out!</p>

|

|

<p><b>Ross:</b> Yes, second in two years. Third overall.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Russell:</b> Ross, I have been a divorce attorney for 23 years and never had I so
|

much business from one client. Why don’t you tell me what happened.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Basically, Rachel and I were in Vegas and we got drunk…</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Russell:</b> (interrupting) I’m sorry, is this the same Rachel who’s name
|
||
you said at the altar in the second marriage?</p>
|
||
|

<p><b>Ross:</b> Yes-yes-yes! But, I-I do <b>not</b> love her.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Russell:</b> Oh, that’s better then.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> This was just a drunken mistake and I need to get it annulled.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Russell:</b> I see. Have you considered therapy?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> I think just the <b>annulment</b> for today.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Russell:</b> There are a couple of forms to fill out.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Easy.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Russell:</b> And we’ll need to have witnesses who can testify that you were not

of uh, sound mind.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> No problem.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Russell:</b> And we’ll need you and Rachel to testify before a judge.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Ooh! There’s no way to do this without her? ‘Cause I kinda all
|
||
ready told her uh, it was, it was already taken care of.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Russell:</b> Of course you did. Look Ross, you can’t get an annulment unless
|
||
you and Rachel are both there.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Uh-ha, what about someone who looks like Rachel? (Russell glares at him.)
|

I will think about the therapy.</p>

stuff.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Okay!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> Y’know, no point in dragging it out. Dragging out the <b>long</b>

process of you moving out and us not living together anymore.</p>
|

|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Okay.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> Hey Rach, what about this? (She holds up a chrome 5-point star.) Huh?
|

Who-who gets this? See, I don’t know if I want it because it might be y’know,
|

too many memories!</p>
|

|

<p><b>Rachel:</b> (grabbing the star) What the hell is that?</p>
|

Rachel, you want the big plate? I want <b>you</b> to have the big plate.</p>

I mean we’re gonna see each other all the time.</p>
|

|

<p><b>Rachel:</b> Are you okay? You’re not blinking.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> I’m fine! I just, I’m thinking how much it’s an end of

||
era.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Oh, all right. But y’know I gotta say, I don’t, I don’t
|
||
think six years counts as an era.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> An era is defined as a significant period of time. Now, it was
|
||
significant to me, maybe it wasn’t significant to you!</p>
|

<p><b>Rachel:</b> What is the matter with you?!</p>
|
||

Aren’t you gonna be sad that we’re not gonna be living together anymore?! I mean

aren’t you gonna miss me at all?!</p>
|

a little hard to believe.</p>
|

|

<p><b>Monica:</b> What’s hard to believe?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Well y’know, it’s you guys. You-you do this kind of stuff!
|
||
Y’know? I mean, you-you were gonna get married in Vegas and then you backed out! I

guess I’m not upset because I don’t see you guys going through with it. I’m

sorry.</p>

<p><b>Monica:</b> No-no, wait! Just let me finish, okay? This isn’t something that we

just, we just impulsively decided in-in Vegas, this is something we both really want. And

it <b>is</b> going to happen.</p>
