<p><strong>Opening Credits</strong></p>
<p>[Scene: Central Perk, Monica and Chandler are talking. Joey and Phoebe are getting
coffee.]</p>
<p><b>Monica:</b> What about the second minister we met with? I kinda liked him.</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> You mean the spitter?</p>
<p><b>Monica:</b> Come on! It wasnt that bad!</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Easy for you to say; youll be wearing a veil.</p>
<p><b>Monica:</b> All right, what about the third guy?</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> You mean the guy who kept staring at your chest?</p>
<p><b>Monica:</b> Can you blame him?</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Sorry, I just dont like the idea of when I say "I
do," hes thinking, "Yeah, Id do her too!"</p>
<p><b>Monica:</b> Well then we still have a problem.</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Yeah!</p>
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> (returning with Joey) With what?</p>
<p><b>Monica:</b> Well, were trying to find someone to perform our wedding and
theyre all either boring or annoying or yknow, cant stop staring at the
ladies. (Points to her chest.)</p>
<p>(Joey nods his approval.)</p>
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Oo! You should have one of us do it!</p>
<p><b>Monica:</b> Phoebe, were getting <b>married</b>, married; not sixth grade
married.</p>
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> No! No! Its-its uh a real thing! Anyone can get ordained on
the Internet and perform like weddings and stuff!</p>
<p><b>Monica:</b> Are you serious?</p>
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Yes! A friend of mine did it and its totally legal!</p>
<p><b>Joey:</b> I call it!!</p>
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> What?! No! It was my idea!</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Guys thank you very much but neither of you is marrying us.</p>
<p><b>Joey:</b> Does calling it not mean anything anymore?!</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> We are going to have a legitimate member of the clergy! And when I say
legitimate I mean, gay and in control of his saliva!</p>
<p>[Scene: Joey and Rachel's, Rachel and Ben are sitting on the couch bored out of their
minds.]</p>
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Ben yknow when uh, when you were a baby, you and I used to hang
out all the time. Cause I was, I was your daddys girlfriend.</p>
<p><b>Ben:</b> But youre not anymore!</p>
<p><b>Rachel:</b> No, Im not.</p>
<p><b>Ben:</b> Cause you guys were on a break.</p>
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Hey! We were <b>not</b> on a—Okay. Thats fine! Fine.
Yknow what Ben? One day when you are a lot older I am going to tell you that entire
story over a pitcher of real margaritas, okay?</p>
<p><b>Ben:</b> Whens my daddy coming back?</p>
<p><b>Rachel:</b> (checks her watch) Fifty-two minutes. (Pause) So no-no brothers and
sisters, huh? That must be nice. You dont have to share stuff.</p>
<p><b>Ben:</b> Sharing is good.</p>
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Oh, youre one of <b>those</b>. But yknow what? I have two
sisters of my own and we just-just tortured each other.</p>
<p><b>Ben:</b> Really? Like how?</p>
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Well yknow, we would umm, repeat everything the other said, or uh,
wed jump out of closets to scare each other, or switch the sugar for the salt so
theyd put salt on their cereal.</p>
<p><b>Ben:</b> (laughs) Thats a good one.</p>
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Yeah? You like that one?</p>
<p><b>Ben:</b> Yeah, youre funny.</p>
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Im funny? Oh thank God! Well hey, Ive got a ton of these!
Umm, oh here—Do you want a good one? Heres a good one. Umm, you uh, you take a
quarter, take a quarter and, and you blacken the edge. Right? (Does so.) And then you say
to person, I bet you cant roll this quarter from your forehead to your chin without
it leaving your face. And then when they do it, theyre left with a big black pencil
line right down the center of their face.</p>
<p><b>Ben:</b> Can I do it to you?</p>
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Yeah, I-I-I-Im funny Ben, but Im not stupid. Okay?</p>
<p>[Scene: Monica and Chandler's, Monica and Chandler are eating lunch as Joey enters.]</p>
<p><b>Joey:</b> So, did you uh, find anyone to marry you guys yet?</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> No, but Horny for Monica Minister called, wanting to know if we were
still together.</p>
<p><b>Monica:</b> Were never gonna find anybody.</p>
<p><b>Joey:</b> Well then let me do it!</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Joe…</p>
<p><b>Joey:</b> No-no-no! Look, Ive been thinking about it. Im an actor right?
So I wont get nervous talking in front of people.</p>
<p><b>Monica:</b> Joey look its really sweet…</p>
<p><b>Joey:</b> No-no-no-no look no! I wont spit, and I wont stare at
Monicas breasts! Yknow? Everyone knows Im an ass man!</p>
<p><b>Monica:</b> That is true.</p>
<p><b>Joey:</b> Yeah and the most important thing is that it wont be some like,
stranger up there who barely knows you. Itll be me! And I swear Ill do a
really good job. Plus, yknow I love you guys and-and it would really mean a lot to
me.</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> (To Monica) Yknow, we havent found anybody else.</p>
<p><b>Monica:</b> It might be kinda cool.</p>
<p><b>Joey:</b> So I can do it?</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Yeah you can do it.</p>
<p><b>Joey:</b> All right!!! Okay!! All right! Okay-okay, I gotta get started on my
speech! Oh, wait a minute, Internet ministers can still have sex right?</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Yeah.</p>
<p><b>Joey:</b> Okay.</p>
<p>(Phoebe enters slowly.)</p>
<p><b>Monica:</b> Hey Pheebs, hows it going?</p>
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Oh, I have a headache. A horrible headache!</p>
<p><b>Monica:</b> Oh, Im sorry. Can I get you something?</p>
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Oh my God, youve <b>got</b> to stop chattering!</p>
<p><b>Monica:</b> Here, take a couple of these. (She gets up to grab a couple of pills.)</p>
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> What is it?</p>
<p><b>Monica:</b> Its Hexadrin.</p>
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Oh no, I dont believe in Western medicine. No, if you just apply
pressure to these points right here. (Shes pinching the bit of skin between her
right thumb and forefinger with her left hand.) Then your hand starts to hurt and you
still have a headache, so thanks. (Takes the pills.)</p>
<p><b>Monica:</b> Okay, while were waiting for these pills to kick in, Im
gonna sit you down on the couch. Come on. (Phoebe gets up and goes with her.) Get some
nice soft pillows under your head, Im gonna turn the TV on and you can watch
whatever you want. And Im—Sit down—(She sits down on the couch)—gonna
make you some tea. And then, Im gonna rub your feet.</p>
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Oh.</p>
<p><b>Joey:</b> Oh! My head! Oh! (Hes sitting on the chair, lies back, and puts his
feet up for Monica to rub.) Oh!</p>
<p>[Scene: Joey and Rachel's, Rachel is reading and there is knock on the door which she
answers.]</p>
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Coming. </p>
<p>(She opens the door to reveal Ross with a pencil mark from his forehead to his chin.)</p>
<p><b>Ross:</b> I have a bone to pick with you.</p>
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Uh-oh.</p>
<p><b>Ross:</b> Yes! Ben learned a little trick.</p>
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Oh yeah? Did he pull the old… (She is waving her hand up and down
her face. Shes thinking about the pencil mark.)</p>
<p><b>Ross:</b> Thats right! Thats right! <i>Saran Wrap</i> on the toilet seat
so the pee goes everywhere!</p>
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Oh that.</p>
<p><b>Ross:</b> Yeah that! You know I hate practical jokes! Theyre mean and
theyre stupid and-and I dont want my son learning them!</p>
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Oh, come on! <i>Saran Wrap</i> on the toilet seat, you dont think
thats just a little funny?!</p>
<p><b>Ross:</b> I was barefoot. Now tell me, the toilet thing is the only thing you taught
him right?</p>
<p><b>Rachel:</b> (looking at his mark) Yes.</p>
<p>[Scene: Central Perk, Phoebe, Chandler, and Monica are there.]</p>
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Its amazing! My headache is completely gone! What are those pills
called?</p>
<p><b>Monica:</b> Hexadrin. (She gets the box out of her purse.)</p>
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Oh, I love you Hexadrin! (She kisses the box.) Oh look! It comes with a
story! (She pulls out the instructions and side effects paper.)</p>
<p><b>Monica:</b> No Phoebe, those are like the side effects and stuff.</p>
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Say what?</p>
<p><b>Monica:</b> Yknow, the possible side effects.</p>
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Oh my God! (Starts reading them.) Dizziness, nervousness, drowsiness,
facial swelling, nausea, headache—Headache. Vomiting, stomach bleeding, liver damage!
Now okay, I dont recall any of this coming up when you gave me these little death
capsules! Oh Im sorry, extra strength death capsules!</p>
<p><b>Monica:</b> Phoebe, relax none of that stuff ever happens! They just put it on there
for legal reasons!</p>
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Why?</p>
<p><b>Monica:</b> In case it happens.</p>
<p><b>Joey:</b> (entering) Hey!</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Hey!</p>
<p><b>Joey:</b> Say hello to Reverend Joey Tribbiani! (Holds up the piece of paper bearing
the proof of his ordination.)</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Hey!</p>
<p><b>Monica:</b> You did it! You got ordained?!</p>
<p><b>Joey:</b> Yeah, I just got off the Internet! Man, there is a lot of porn out there!</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Our minister…</p>
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> I have liver damage. Ow! Oh! (She grabs the left side of her torso.)</p>
<p><b>Monica:</b> Phoebe, your liver is right here. (She points to the right side of her
torso.)</p>
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Okay, then I must be disoriented.</p>
<p><b>Joey:</b> Anyway, I started working on what Im going to say for the ceremony,
do you wanna hear it?</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Okay.</p>
<p><b>Monica:</b> Yeah!</p>
<p><b>Joey:</b> Now-now, listen this is just a first draft so… (Starts to read the
piece of paper he brought.) "We are gathered here today on this joyous occasion to
celebrate the special love that Monica and Chandler share." (Monica and Chandler like
it so far.) Eh? (He continues reading.) "It is a love based on giving and receiving.
As well as having and sharing. And the love that they give and have is shared and
received. And through this having and giving and sharing and receiving." (Phoebe nods
her approval.) "We too can share and love and have and receive."</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> (To Monica) Should we call the spitter?</p>
<p align="center"><strong>Commercial Break</strong></p>
<p>[Scene: Carol and Susans, there is a knock on the door and Carol opens it to
reveal Rachel.]</p>
<p><b>Carol:</b> Hey Rachel! (The camera cuts to her face and we see that Ben pulled the
quarter trick with her as well.)</p>
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Hi!</p>
<p><b>Carol:</b> What a nice surprise! What are you doing here?</p>
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Well yknow I was just in the neighborhood and I passed by your
building and I thought to myself, "Whats up with Carol and sweet, little
Ben?"</p>
<p><b>Carol:</b> Can I ask what—Come on in.</p>
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Okay.</p>
<p><b>Carol:</b> Umm uh, Ill make some coffee and we can uh, chat.</p>
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Id love that. I would loooove… (Carol goes to make the coffee
and she sits down.) So uh, so where is sweet little Ben? I would love to have a little...</p>
<p><b>Ben:</b> (jumping up from behind her chair) Gotcha!! (Rachel jumps up startled.)</p>
<p><b>Rachel:</b> I found him! (To Ben) Very funny, come here! (She sits down on the
coffee table and Ben walks up.) That is exactly why Ive come here to talk to you
okay?</p>
<p><b>Carol:</b> (from the kitchen) Rach, do you want some sugar in your coffee?</p>
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Yes oh—(To Ben)—Do I want sugar in my coffee? (Ben nods no.)
No, just some milk would be good Carol. Thanks. (To Ben) Okay, do you remember all that
stuff I taught you yesterday?</p>
<p><b>Ben:</b> (mimicking her) Remember all that stuff I taught you yesterday?</p>
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Dont do that.</p>
<p><b>Ben:</b> Dont do that.</p>
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Seriously, your dad doesnt like pranks.</p>
<p><b>Ben:</b> Seriously, your dad doesnt like pranks.</p>
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Oh damnit!</p>
<p><b>Ben:</b> Oh damnit!</p>
<p><b>Rachel:</b> No! Dont say that! Dont say that!</p>
<p><b>Ben:</b> Damnit!</p>
<p><b>Rachel:</b> No dont! Go back to repeating!</p>
<p><b>Ben:</b> Damnit!</p>
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Oh crap!</p>
<p><b>Ben:</b> Oh crap!</p>
<p>[Scene: Monica and Chandler's, Phoebe, Joey, Chandler, and Monica are returning from
Central Perk.]</p>
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> I feel like my face is swelling. (To Monica) Is my face swelling?</p>
<p><b>Monica:</b> Phoebe, your face is fine! Come on, none of this stuff is going to
happen to you! Stop being such a baby!</p>
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Oh, interesting you should call me that! Now that I may never have one!
(Holds up the warning label.)</p>
<p><b>Joey:</b> Okay you guys, I got a little more written. Are you ready?</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Yeah. O-okay.</p>
<p><b>Joey:</b> (reading) "When I think of the love that these two givers and
receivers share, I can not help but envy the lifetime ahead of having and loving and
giving and…" And then I cant think of a good word for right here. (He
points to the stop on the paper where he left off.)</p>
<p><b>Monica:</b> How about receiving?</p>
<p><b>Joey:</b> Yes!</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> See Joe, not that thats not grrreat! But, one of the cool things
about having somebody we know perform the ceremony is that it can be about us!
Yknow, it can be more personal. You can tell stories about us!</p>
<p><b>Joey:</b> Ooh, like the time you and I went to Atlantic City and I made you laugh so
hard you threw up your whole steak?! Remember?</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> No, not us… (Motions Joey and him.) Us! (Motions Monica and him.)</p>
<p><b>Joey:</b> I gotcha. Sorry. (To Monica) So, did you ever make him throw up a whole
anything?</p>
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Did you ever feed him a poison capsule that made him bleed from the
eyes?</p>
<p><b>Monica:</b> It doesnt say that!</p>
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Oh! Suddenly somebody knows all about the side effects!</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> See Joe, we want you to tell stories but yknow, romantic
stories. Nice stories.</p>
<p><b>Joey:</b> Oh. Okay. Ooh! Ooh! Okay, maybe Ill talk about London! Yknow
when you two hooked up! Only, only I wont say hooked up. Ill say, "Began
their beautiful journey…"</p>
<p><b>Monica:</b> There you go!</p>
<p><b>Joey:</b> "…by doin it."</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Joe?</p>
<p><b>Joey:</b> Okay. All right. Umm, so uh, so how did it happen? Did your eyes meet
across the room? And then the next thing yknow youre in the bathtub together
and shes feeding you strawberries?</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Isnt that what happened with you and the bridesmaid?</p>
<p><b>Joey:</b> Yeah!! I call that London style.</p>
<p><b>Monica:</b> No that is not what happened with us. Well, I was umm, I was really sad
that night because this guy thought that I was Rosss mom.</p>
<p><b>Joey:</b> Oh.</p>
<p><b>Monica:</b> And then Chandler was, was really sweet and he consoled me. And well we
drank too much…</p>
<p><b>Joey:</b> Yeah baby!</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> And I was a perfect gentleman and I walked her to her hotel room and
said goodnight.</p>
<p><b>Joey:</b> Oh.</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> But then later that night…</p>
<p><b>Joey:</b> Yeah baby!</p>
<p>[Cut to London, Chandlers hotel room. He is getting ready for bed by doing
push-ups. One push-up. Just as he gets under the covers, theres a knock on the
door.]</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> (answering the door) Hey!</p>
<p><b>Monica:</b> (standing outside) Cute PJs! Youre really livin it up
here in London huh?</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Well I was… I wasn't exactly expecting company after…(He looks
at his watch.) 9:15.</p>
<p><b>Monica:</b> (entering) Is Joey here?</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Well, last time I saw him he was heading out the door with the
bridesmaid and a bucket of strawberries. So uh, youre not still upset about
what that guy told ya are ya?</p>
<p><b>Monica:</b> Wouldnt you be?</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Well, look its been a really emotional time yknow, and
youve had a lot to drink. And youve just got to let that <b>go</b> okay? I
mean you were the most beautiful woman in the room tonight!</p>
<p><b>Monica:</b> Really?</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> You kidding? Youre the most beautiful woman in most rooms…
(She jumps up and kisses him.) (Breaking the kiss.) Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whats going
on? You and I just made out! You and I are making out?</p>
<p><b>Monica:</b> Well, not anymore.</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> But we dont do that.</p>
<p><b>Monica:</b> I know, I just thought it would be fun.</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> How drunk are you?</p>
<p><b>Monica:</b> Drunk enough to know that I want to do this. Not so drunk that you
should feel guilty about taking advantage.</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> (thinks) Thats the perfect amount!</p>
<p><b>Monica:</b> Okay!</p>
<p>(They run to the bed, sit down, and start making out again.)</p>
<p><b>Monica:</b> (breaking the kiss) Yknow whats weird?</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> What?</p>
<p><b>Monica:</b> This doesnt feel weird!</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> I know.</p>
<p><b>Monica:</b> Youre a really good kisser.</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Well, I have kissed over four women. (They kiss again.) Do you wanna
get under the covers?</p>
<p><b>Monica:</b> Hm-hmm!</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Okay!</p>
<p>(They do so and they take off their clothes.)</p>
<p><b>Monica:</b> Wow! You are really fast!</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> It bodes well for me that speed impresses you.</p>
<p><b>Monica:</b> Were gonna see each other naked.</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Yep!</p>
<p><b>Monica:</b> Do you wanna do it at the same time?</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Count of three?</p>
<p><b>Monica:</b> One!</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Two!</p>
<p><b>Monica:</b> Two!</p>
<b>
</b><p><b>Monica and <b>Chandler:</b></b> Three! (They lift up the covers and check each other
out, then come back up with silly grins on their faces.)</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Well I think its safe to say that our friendship is effectively
ruined.</p>
<p><b>Monica:</b> Eh, we werent that close anyway!</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Eh!</p>
<p>(They start making out again, and it takes Joey trying to enter to stop them.)</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Joey! Joey! Joey! J-J-Joey-Joey-J-Joey! (Monica hides under the covers
as Joey enters. Remember?)</p>
<p><b>Joey:</b> Hey!</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Hey Joe! I was just watching a movie-e-e… (Notices that the TV is
turned off.)</p>
<p><b>Joey:</b> Oh, dude Im so sorry!</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> No! No! No!</p>
<p><b>Joey:</b> Hey no-no-no-no! Its cool! Its cool! I-Ill only be a
second, Im still with my bridesmaid, I just—Where are those condoms you
brought?</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Theyre in my bag over there. (Points.)</p>
<p><b>Joey:</b> Ah. (Joey walks to Chandlers bag by getting as far away from
Chandlers bed as possible.)</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Uh, could you leave me one?</p>
<p><b>Joey:</b> (pause) For just you?</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Yeah.</p>
<p><b>Joey:</b> Hey listen, why dont you come downstairs with me? Theres some
really nice girls down there.</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> No I-I-Im fine.</p>
<p><b>Joey:</b> All right, here you go buddy. (He tosses him one.) Go nuts. (Exits.)</p>
<p>[Cut back to Monica and Chandler telling Phoebe and Joey the story.]</p>
<p><b>Joey:</b> Thats what that was?! Cause that other thing? I thought you
were on to something, but it did nothing for me.</p>
<p><b>Monica:</b> Okay, can we change the topic? Because its <b>really</b> doing
nothing for me.</p>
<p><b>Joey:</b> Oh… (To Chandler) Can you imagine if I hadnt left you that last
one? You two mightve never gotten together. Ooh-ooh! Could you imagine if I sent
that hooker up to the room like I was gonna?! Its like it was in the stars!</p>
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Yeah, its totally meant to be. (To Monica) Tell him who you
originally wanted to hook up with that night.</p>
<p><b>Monica:</b> What?!</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> What?</p>
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> (To Joey) What?!</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Who did you originally want to hook up with?</p>
<p><b>Monica:</b> Okay, fine but <b>please</b> dont be upset! Okay? I was really
depressed okay? And really drunk! I just wanted something stupid and meaningless. I just
wanted…just sex. So, when I…went to your room that night…I was actually
looking…for Joey. (Joey smiles.)</p>
<p><b>Joey:</b> Yeah baby! (Chandler glares at him.) No baby!</p>
<p align="center"><strong>Commercial Break</strong></p>
<p>[Scene: Monica and Chandler's, scene continued from earlier.]</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> (To Monica) So you came to the room looking for Joey? Did you ever
in-intend on telling me about this?</p>
<p><b>Monica:</b> No, because it-it didnt seem important.</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Oh, its not important? Its not important?! If it
wasnt for a bridesmaid youd be marrying him (Points to Joey) not me!</p>
<p><b>Monica:</b> Noo!! The point is that is was <b>you</b> that was there that night! It
is <b>you</b> that I am marrying! It is <b>you</b> that I fell in love with!</p>

<p><b>Joey:</b> Hey! (Monica turns and looks at him) Now Im a man of the cloth, but
I still have feelings!</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> (To Joey) Look there is no way youre doing this wedding now.
Okay?</p>
<p><b>Joey:</b> What?! Thats not fair! Its not my fault! I was off with my
bridesmaid! And whos to say I wouldve even said yes?! (To Monica) I

<p><b>Chandler:</b> Okay, its just weird! Okay? I dont want to be standing
their saying my vows and then having the mental image of you and Monica! I-I-I need…I
dont know what I need. I need a walk.</p>
<p><b>Monica:</b> Wait Chandler come on, lets—its not a big deal!</p>

<p><b>Ross:</b> Nice. And by the way that uh, that line down my face?</p>
<p><b>Rachel:</b> What line?</p>
<p><b>Ross:</b> Wh-wh-what line? The <b>line</b> that prompted a student in my last class
of the day to say uh, (In a college frat boy voice) "Dude, dont you ever wash
your face?"</p>
<p><b>Rachel:</b> All right, Im sorry. Im sorry I didnt tell you but you
were so mad already!</p>
<p><b>Ross:</b> Of course I was mad! I told you I-I hate this stuff! Okay? It-its
not funny!</p>

<p><b>Rachel:</b> Or Carol! But theyre funny to kids and who is it hurting?!</p>
<p><b>Ross:</b> Uh, yknow what? Ill tell you who it hurts! It hurts the kid
who has all his clothes stolen in gym class so he has to go to the principals office
wearing nothing but a catchers mitt!</p>
<p><b>Rachel:</b> That was <b>you</b>?! We heard about you in Junior High! Did you really
just shake your fist in the air and shout, "I will be revenged?!"</p>
<p><b>Ross:</b> I will be! Listen, I dont want you teaching my son that stuff
anymore. Okay?</p>
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Fine. Fine, but Ill have you know that once I taught him that
stuff he called me Fun Aunt Rachel. And I loved being Fun Aunt Rachel but Ill go
back to being Boring and Uncomfortable Aunt Rachel if thats what you want!</p>
<p><b>Ross:</b> No thats not what I want. Uh, Im glad you guys were bonding
but I…</p>
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Look he doesnt have any brothers or sisters, somebodys gonna
have to teach him this stuff! And I havent taught him anything that a normal
6-year-old doesnt know anyway!</p>

it would probably rather sleep with you!</p>
<p><b>Joey:</b> Chandler, come on nothing even happened!</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Look Joe, I know you wanted to do the wedding…</p>
<p><b>Joey:</b> No-hey-no! If you dont want me to do it, I accept that. I dont

fantastic woman and it turns out that she wanted you first!</p>
<p><b>Joey:</b> Yeah for like a half an hour one night! Chandler, she wants you for the
rest of her life! Youre so lucky! Look what I missed out on by not being there!
Although you know what? It could never have worked like you guys did, cause you guys
are perfect for each other. Yknow, we look at you and-and we see you together and it
just…it-it fits. Yknow? And you just know its gonna last forever.</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Thats what you should say.</p>
<p><b>Joey:</b> What?</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> When youre marrying us; thats what you should say.</p>
<p><b>Joey:</b> Really? I can do it?</p>
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Id love it if you would do it.</p>
<p><b>Joey:</b> Hey! (They hug.)</p>
