<p><b>Phoebe:</b> (To Joey) Oh hey! How was your audition?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> I’m sorry, do I know you?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> What are you doing?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> Nothing, I’m just practicing blowing you off because I’m gonna
|
||
be a big movie star!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Oh! You got it?!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> Well no, not yet. But the audition went really good.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> What was it for?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> Oh, it’s this big budget period movie about these three Italian
|
||
brothers who come to America around the turn of the century. It’s really classy! Oh,
|
||
and the director is supposed to be the next next Martin Scorcese.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> The next next?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> Yeah, there’s this guy from Chicago who’s supposed to be the
|
||
next Martin Scorcese, all right? But then this guy’s right after him. (Joey’s
|
||
cell phone rings and he answers it.) Hello!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><strong>Estelle:</strong> Joey! It’s Estelle! I just talked to the casting
|
||
people:
|
||
they <b>loved</b> you!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> (to Monica and Phoebe) They loved me!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><strong>Estelle:</strong> Yeah, they wanna see you again tomorrow.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> (on phone) Oh my God!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><strong>Estelle:</strong> There’s just one thing. Do you have a problem with full
|
||
frontal nudity?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> Are you kidding me? I never rent a movie without it! (Listens) Oh.
|
||
(Listens) Uh, okay uh let me call you back. (Hangs up.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> What’s the matter?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> They want me to be totally naked in the movie!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> Wow!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> I know! My grandmother’s gonna see this!</p>

|

Perry in rehab) Monica is folding her laundry with Ross reading the paper and Phoebe

standing in the kitchen.]</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Hey, the wedding is so close! Are you getting nervous?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> Yeah. But a part of me also can’t wait ‘til it’s over.
|
||
Chandler and I have this pact not to have sex again until the wedding.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> A no sex pact huh? I actually have one of those going on with every woman
|
||
in America.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> Hey Phoebe, will you give me a hand? </p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Sure.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> I gotta make up the guest bedroom. (To Ross) Hey, Cousin Cassie is
|
||
coming to stay with us for a few days.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Cassie?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> Uh-hmm.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Wow, I haven’t seen her for, like, forever. I wonder if she still
|
||
carries that <i>Barbie</i> everywhere she goes.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> Ross, she’s 25 years old.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> So what! I still have—No you’re probably right.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> (entering) Hi!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> Hey!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Hey!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Hey Pheebs, can I talk to you over here for a second?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Yeah!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> Subtle guys!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> What?!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> I know you’re planning my surprise bridal shower.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> (laughs) Well okay—Well don’t ruin it! Just play along at
|
||
least!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> Okay. Sorry. (She goes into the guest bedroom.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> (To Phoebe) Oh my God! We have to throw her a shower?!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>[Scene: Monica and Chandler's, Joey is entering.]</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> Hey! What did you decide to do about the movie?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> I don’t know! It’s not like it’s porn! This is a serious,
|
||
legitimate movie. Y’know? And the nudity is really important to the story.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> That’s what you say about porn.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> You’re right. Maybe I shouldn’t even go on the call back.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> No! No you should! A lot of major actors do nude scenes! I mean, the
|
||
chance to star in a movie? Come on!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> Well that’s true. And I am only naked in one scene. Plus it sounds
|
||
really great. My character’s catholic and he falls in love with this Jewish girl. Who
|
||
run away together and they get caught in this big rainstorm. So we go into this barn and
|
||
undress each other and hold each other. It’s really sweet and-and tender.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> Plus, everyone’s gonna see your thing. (Giggles.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>[Scene: Phoebe's apartment, Phoebe and Rachel are trying to plan Monica’s shower.]</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Well, when can we have this shower?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> She has got so much going on we-we have only two options. We have
|
||
Friday…</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Well that’s only two days away. What is the other option?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Yesterday!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Well if we make it yesterday, woo-hoo! We’re done!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Oh my God, Phoebe, this is impossible! We can’t do this by Friday!
|
||
We have to find a place. We have to invite people! We have to get food! There’s just
|
||
too much to do! It’s impossible! We can’t do it! We cannot do it! We cannot do
|
||
it!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Rachel, calm down!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> (calmly) Okay. I’m sorry. You’re right, you’re right.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> (grabs and shakes Rachel) Just calm down woman!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Phoebe, I already, I already did.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Oh okay. All right, then I need to calm down a little.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Okay. Okay. (They sit down.) I think we can do this if we just get
|
||
organized. All right? We have two days to plan this party. We just need to make fast
|
||
decisions! Okay? All right, where are we gonna have it?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Uh, here. What time?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> 4 o’clock. Food?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Finger sandwiches and tea.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Ooh great! Very Monica.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> And chili!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Ah you went one too far. Uh, flowers or balloons?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Both!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> We’re paying for this y’know.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Neither.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Okay. Umm, what should we do for the theme?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Lusts of the flesh.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> (pause) What?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> I don’t know. (Timidly) A cowboy theme?</p>

||
<p>[Scene: Monica and Chandler's, Monica is on the couch writing when Chandler enters to
|
||
make his brief cameo.]</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Hey!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> Hey!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Y’know I’m-I’m really glad we decided not to sleep
|
||
together before the wedding.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> Oh boy, me too!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Y’know I was thinking if we had a…a big fight and uh we
|
||
broke up for a few hours…</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> Yeah?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Technically we could have sex again. What do you think, bossy and
|
||
domineering?!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> The wedding is off, sloppy and immature!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> That’s me! Come on!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> Okay. (They both jump up to head for their room, but Monica stops.) But
|
||
wait, we can’t. My Cousin Cassie is in the guest room, we’re supposed to have
|
||
lunch.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Well, get rid of her, obsessive and shrill.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> Shrill?! The wedding is back on!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>(Cassie enters from the guest room, with her hair up. The extremely beautiful and sexy
|
||
Denise Richards is playing Cassie. Woo hoo! For those of you who don’t know who she
|
||
is, rent <i>Wild Things</i> and she was also the last <i>Bond</i> girl in <i>The World Is
|
||
Not Enough</i>.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Cassie:</b> I thought I heard voices. You must be Chandler.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> (transfixed) Hi! Nice to meet you!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Cassie:</b> Nice to meet you too.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> So, are you ready to go?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Cassie:</b> Yeah.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>(She lets her hair down and whips her hair around in <i>Baywatch</i>-esque slow motion
|
||
with a Barry White song in the background. Chandler needless to say can’t help but
|
||
stare along with the rest of the male and lesbian population of North America.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> (catching him) Chandler!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> I’ll be right with you.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>[Scene: Central Perk, Ross is there as Chandler and Monica enters.]</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> (To Ross) Cassie needs to stay at your place.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> What—why?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> Because Purvy Perverson over here can’t stop staring at her.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> What?! Chandler, she’s our cousin!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> I was not staring at her. Okay? I was just listening intently.
|
||
It’s called being a good conversationalist. Watch. (Stares at Monica’s eyes.)
|
||
Say something.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> You were staring about eight inches south of there.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Fine, she can stay at my place. By the way, what-what does Cassie even
|
||
look like now.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> She looks exactly like Aunt Marilyn.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Umm, so this Aunt Marilyn is-is-is-is she coming to the wedding?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> Wafer thin ice!</p>
|

|
||
<p>[Scene: A Casting Director’s Office, Joey is entering for his callback.]</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> Hey, I’m back!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>The Casting Director:</b> Hi-hi Joey.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> Uh so, will-will I be reading the same scene again?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>The Casting Director:</b> Actually, I tried to call you. You didn’t need to
|
||
come down here today.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> Oh great! Y’know I would’ve been perfect for this part, but
|
||
whatever! Y’know, thanks for making a bad decision and ruining your movie! Good day!
|
||
(Starts to leave.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>The Casting Director:</b> Wait Joey! You didn’t need to come down because the
|
||
director saw your tape from yesterday and loved it.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> And scene! Huh? Wasn’t that fun? We did a little improv there. Yeah!
|
||
Okay! So you-you-you-you were saying?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>The Casting Director:</b> Well, the director thinks you’re really right for the
|
||
part and wants to meet you tomorrow.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> Wow! Sure! That’s great!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>The Casting Director:</b> Oh, and your agent said you were okay with the nudity.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> Yeah! Yeah sure, just so long as it’s handled tastefully and that barn
|
||
is not too cold.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>The Casting Director:</b> Terrific! Well uh, there’s one more thing. Uhh, uh
|
||
it’s really important to the director that everything in this movie is authentic.
|
||
Yeah, and so in your love scene with Sarah she talks about how she’s never seen a
|
||
naked man who wasn’t Jewish. So… (Laughs.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> So…What?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>The Casting Director:</b> So uh well, the director is insisting that whoever play
|
||
that part be authentically, anatomically not Jewish. Do you know what I’m saying?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> Yes!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>The Casting Director:</b> Okay.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> No. What?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>The Casting Director:</b> An Italian Catholic immigrant at this time would not
|
||
be…</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> Barmitsvahed?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>(The casting director shakes her head.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>[Scene: Monica and Chandler's, Joey is telling Monica what the casting director was
|
||
trying to get to.]</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> So to get this part you can’t be?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> Nope.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> But you are?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> Yep.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> But you told them you weren’t?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> That’s right.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> Wow! Wow! And it’s definitely all gone? There’s nothing there
|
||
to work with? (Joey glares at her.) What were you thinking?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> I don’t know! I really want this part! And they tell you no matter
|
||
what you get asked at an audition you say yes. Like if-if they want you to ride a horse,
|
||
you tell ‘em you can! And just figure out how to do it later.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> Joey! This is not like learning to ride a horse! This is like learning
|
||
to…grow a turtleneck!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> I kn-I know! I know! Okay? And apparently tomorrow when I go in to meet
|
||
the director I have to take off my clothes so that they can see what my body looks like.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> Oh my God, what are you gonna do?!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> I just have to call my agent and tell her I can’t do the part. (Gets
|
||
up for the phone.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> Unless!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> Unless what?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> Well, this may sound crazy, but there maybe something we could fashion.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> Like what?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> Well I’m not sure yet, but umm, off the top of my head I’m
|
||
thinking double sided tape and some sort of luncheon meat.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>[Scene: Joey and Rachel's, Phoebe is entering and Rachel is still planning.]</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Hey! I’ve got a great idea for party favors for the shower. Okay,
|
||
we get some uh mahogany boxes and carve everyone’s names in them and inside is
|
||
everyone’s individual birth stone.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Okay. Okay. All right, you take care of that. And meanwhile, the party
|
||
is tomorrow and we still don’t have a guest list.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Okay. Okay! Well okay, who do we know that’s coming? Me. Are you?</p>

<p><b>Rachel:</b> Hey! What’s up Mon?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> Well uh, I’m trying to make something for Joey. Do you mind if I
|
||
raid your fridge?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Have at it.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> Okay. (Opens the fridge.) All right, turkey. Eh, that won’t work.
|
||
Cheese? (Picks it up) That won’t work. Olive loaf? (Picks it up) I hope that
|
||
won’t work.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Are you makin’ him a sandwich?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> No it’s umm, more like a wrap. Okay so uh, I’m gonna go guys. </p>

</b><p><b>Phoebe and <b>Rachel:</b></b> Okay.</p>
|

(Runs out.)</p>

<p><b>Rachel:</b> (To Phoebe, after Monica’s gone) We have to get her a present?!</p>
|

|

<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Okay but look! Look at what I got! It’s her address book! (Holds it

up.) We have a guest list!</p>

|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Oh my God you’re amazing! Did you just pull that out of her purse?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Uh-huh, and a little seed money for the party. (Holds up $40.)</p>

|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Hey!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Cassie:</b> (hugs him) It’s been so long! Last time I saw you, you were setting
|
||
up your tent in line to see <i>Return of the Jedi</i>.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Oh. Oh, that’s right. So-so you did see me that day, because it seemed

like you didn’t.</p>
|

|

<p><b>Cassie:</b> Ah yeah, sorry about that.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> It’s okay. Come, come on in.</p>

of what she’s eating.]</p>

<p><b>Cassie:</b> I’m all done.</p>
|

|

<p><b>Ross:</b> (quietly) Thank God.</p>
|

|

<p><b>Cassie:</b> I guess the last time we really hung out was when our parents rented
|
||
that beach house together.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Oh right. Right. Ooh, remember the time I uh, I pinned you down and
|
||
tickled you ‘til you cried? (She laughs) We’re probably too old to do that now.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Cassie:</b> I’ll always remember that summer, because it’s when I got all
|
||
of these freckles. (She pulls her blouse open to show him her shoulder and bra strap.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> (looking then moving away quickly) Uh-huh! Uh-huh! And-and-and I’ll
|

always remember that summer because that’s when I realized that we are related.</p>
|

|
||
<p><b>Cassie:</b> It took you that long to figure it out, huh?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Well I’m, I’m a little slow. (To himself) Just as our children

would be.</p>

|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> Ah.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> Okay? (To a different group) Over here we have pink suede, which is

nice. But umm, if it gets wet then you know it’s gonna shrink.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> Well maybe we just take that one away. (Picks it up and throws it away.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> I also, did a little something in fur. But umm, that’s really just
|

for me. (Rubs it against her cheek.) Okay. So, why don’t you go into your room and
|

try these on and we’ll see—get a better idea of what’s gonna work.</p>
|

<p><b>Joey:</b> Thanks, you are such a good friend. And this is so weird.</p>

some popcorn.) <i>Or would she? Let’s back up a second. <b>She</b> was the one who

me for on such short notice! (She bursts into the apartment to find only Phoebe and Rachel

came, but it took us so long to get you here that they-they had to leave.</p>

<p><b>Rachel:</b> Yeah, we wanted to throw you a big surprise and a great shower, and now

you don’t have either.</p>

totally understand. You need to y’know make sure I don’t have any horrible scars
|

or tattoos. Don’t you worry; I have nothing to hide. (He drops his pants and stands,
|

back up and looks down.) So there you go, that’s me. (We cut to a camera angle
|

looking at the casting director and movie director through Joey’s legs.) One hundred
