<p><b>Joey:</b> (lying on a beach towel, recapping what happened in the last episode)
|
||
Okay, so we went to the beach, because Phoebe found out about this lady who knew her mom
|
||
and dad, and I don’t really know what happened with that.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>[cut to Phoebe Sr.’s house, from the last episode]</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe Sr.:</b> (to Phoebe) I’m your mother.</p>

<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Ehh?</p>

<p>[cut to Monica opening the door of the beach house, with Chandler trying to pick her up

for a date.]</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> (voice-over) Oh, and then Monica joked that she wouldn’t go out with
|
||
a guy like Chandler...</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> (to Monica) (in a funny voice) Hi there. (Monica turns her head away
|
||
in disgust)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> (voice-over) ...and he couldn’t let it go, and... I don’t really
|
||
know what happened with that either. </p>
|
||
|
||
<p>[cut to a montage of scenes involving Bonnie, Ross, and Rachel from the last episode.]</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> (voice-over) Oh-oh! And then Ross’s new girlfriend, Bonnie, shows up
|
||
and Rachel convinced her to save her head. And then Ross and Rachel kiss, and now Ross has
|
||
to choose between Rachel and the bald girl and I don’t know what happened there
|
||
either... </p>
|
||
|
||
<p>[cut back to Joey on the beach towel]</p>

<p>[Scene: The beach house, it’s the same scene from the end of last year, with Ross

in front of the two doors of Rachel’s and Bonnie’s rooms, trying to decide which

door to choose. He finally chooses the one his right and goes in.]</p>

<p><b>Ross:</b> (surprised) Hi!</p>

<p><b>Rachel and Bonnie:</b> Hi!</p>

<p><b>Bonnie:</b> (to Rachel) Thanks a million.</p>
|

<p><b>Rachel:</b> Oh, you’re welcome a million.</p>
|

<p><b>Bonnie:</b> (getting up and leaving) (to Ross) Okay, I’ll see you in our room.</p>
|

|

<p><b>Ross:</b> Yeah. (closes the door, and goes over and kisses Rachel.)</p>

<p><b>Ross:</b> I know.</p>

<p><b>Rachel:</b> Here?! Now?!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Well, yeah. I can’t-I can’t stay here all night, and if I go in
|
||
there she’s-she’s gonna wanna... do stuff.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Well, can’t you tell her that you are not in the mood?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> No, she likes that. Yeah. Faking sleep doesn’t work either, I
|
||
can’t tell you how many mornings I woke up with her...</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> (interrupting) Whoa-ho.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Whoa-oh, okay! Yeah, why am I telling you that?</p>
|

<p><b>Rachel:</b> I don’t know.</p>

<p>(they kiss again)</p>

her birth mother.]</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe Sr.:</b> So I guess you’d like to know how it all happened. </p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> I-I mean I, well I think I can figure it out. I guess y'know I was born,
|
||
and everyone started lying their asses off!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe Sr.:</b> Noo! No! It wasn’t like that I... Remember how I told you how
|

Lily, Frank, and I we were, we were close. Well, we were, we were very close.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> How close?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe Sr.:</b> Well, the-the three of us we were, kind of umm, a couple.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> I don’t even know how that would work!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe Sr.:</b> Well, we were...</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> (interrupting) I’m not asking!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe Sr.:</b> Well, any how, some how I got pregnant, and, and I was scared. I was
|
||
stupid and sellfish, and I was 18 years old. I mean, you remember what it’s like to
|
||
be eighteen years old?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Yeah. Let’s see, my had Mom killed herself, and my Dad had run off,
|
||
and I was living in a Gremlin with a guy named Cindy who talked to his hand.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe Sr.:</b> Well, I’m so sorry. I thought I was leaving you with the best
|
||
parents in the world, I didn’t even hear about your Mom and Dad til a couple of years
|
||
ago, and by then you were already grown up. I don’t know, you’re here, and I
|
||
would, I would really, I would like to get to know you.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Yeah, well, everybody does! I’m a really cool person. And y'know
|
||
you had 29 years to find that out, but you didn’t even try! Y'know what, you walked
|
||
out on me, and I’m just, I’m gonna do the same thing to you.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe Sr.:</b> Wait!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> I don’t <b>ever</b> want to see you again! </p>

<p>(She walks out and slams the door.)</p>
|

|

<p><b>Phoebe:</b> (walking back in with her hand over her eyes.) Umm, where’s my

purse?</p>

|

|

<p><b>Chandler:</b> (jumping up) Oh, I’ll go out and get you some.</p>
|

|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> Really?!</p>
|

|

<p><b>Chandler:</b> Nope! Because I’m not your boyfriend. (to Phoebe, who’s
|

entering) Hey Pheebs, how did it go?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Well, umm, my Mom’s friend, Phoebe, is actually my birth Mom.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>(The gang is shocked.)</p>
|
||
|

<p><b>Chandler:</b> I found a dried up seashores.</p>
|

<p><b>Monica:</b> Sweety, what are you talking about?</p>
|

|

<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Oh, my new Mom, who-who’s a big, fat abandoner! (starts to go

upstairs)</p>
|

|

<p><b>Joey:</b> Whoa, wait, Pheebs, wait a second! Don’t you wanna stay here and talk

about it?</p>

|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Oh, was it awful?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Well, it was loong. I didn’t even realise how late it was, until I
|
||
noticed the 5 o’clock shadow on her head. (They both start to laugh, then stop
|
||
themselves quickly.) Anyway, she didn’t want to stay. I called a cab; she just left.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>(They kiss.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> I wrote you a letter.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Ohh! Thank you! I like mail. (He goes to kiss her again, but she turns
|
||
away.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> (handing him the letter) It’s just some things I’ve been
|
||
thinking about. Some things about us, and before we can even think about the two of us
|
||
getting back together, I just need to know how you feel about this stuff.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Okay. (He leans in to kiss her again, but she leans back preventing him
|
||
from making contact.) Wow, it’s-it’s 5:30 in the morning. (Rachel laughs) So,
|
||
I’d better get cracking on this baby.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Well, I’ll be waiting for you, just come up when you’re done.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Okay, I’ll be up in, (looks at the letter) 18 pages. Front and back.
|

Very exciting.</p>
|

<p>[Scene: The beach house, the next morning. Ross is passed out on the kitchen counter.

He wakes up with a start and has one of the pages of the letter stuck to his face.]</p>
|

<p><b>Ross:</b> Oh. (looks at his watch) Oh-oh. (takes a drink of coffee and resumes

reading the letter)</p>
|

|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> (coming down the stairs) Hey! (Ross jumps up, and quickly puts the
|

letter back together, pretending like he has just finished it.) What happened to you? Why

didn’t you come up?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Done!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> You just finished?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Well, I wanted to be thorough. I mean this-this is clearly very, very
|
||
important to you, to us! And so I wanted to read every word carefully, twice!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> So umm, does it?</p>

|

<p><b>Ross:</b> I’m sorry.</p>
|

|

<p><b>Rachel:</b> Does it?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Does it? Does it? Yeah, I wanted to give that whole ‘Does it?’
|
||
part just another glance.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> What are you talking about, Ross, you just said that you read it twice!
|
||
Look, y'know what, either it does or it doesn’t, and if you have to even <b>think</b>
|
||
about it...</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> (interrupting) No, Rach, no. I don’t, I don’t, I don’t <b>have</b>
|
||
to think about it, in fact, I’ve decided, I’ve decided that, that it.......does.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>(Rachel stands there for a moment, starting to cry. Then gasps and runs over and hugs
|
||
him. While hugging her, Ross tries to find the ‘Does it?’ part in the letter.)</p>

<p><b>Rachel:</b> Are you sure?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Oh, sure! I’m sure.</p>

the letter.)</p>

this baby out, dug me a hole!</p>
|

|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Excellent hole, Joe.</p>
|

<p><b>Joey:</b> Don’t blame me, I saw it on <i>The Discovery Channel</i>.</p>
|

in that, that like kills the pain.</p>

<p><b>Phoebe:</b> No. I’m-I’m to depressed to talk.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> I’ll give you a thousand dollars to talk to us.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> (coming back in with Rachel) Hey, you guys! What do you, what do you think
|
||
about making that beach trip an annual thing?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler, Monica, and Joey:</b> NO!!!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> All right, that’s it, you guys! What happened out there?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> What? We took a walk, nothing happened. I can back with nothing all over
|
||
me.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross and Rachel:</b> Come on!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> What happened? Joey?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> All right. (gets up) </p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> (stopping him) No! Joey, we swore we’d never tell!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> (running over and joining Monica) They’ll never understand!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> Well, we have to say something! We have to get it out! It’s eating me
|
||
alive!! Monica got stung by a jellyfish.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> (interrupting) All right!! All right. (walks slowly into the living
|
||
room) I got stung. Stung bad. I couldn’t stand. I-I couldn’t walk.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> (following Monica) We were two miles from the house. Scared and alone.
|
||
We didn’t think we could make it. (He goes to put his hands on Monica’s
|
||
shoulders but for some reason can quite complete the action and pulls back.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> I was in too much pain.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> And I was tired from digging the huge hole!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> And then Joey remembered something.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> I’d seen this thing on <i>The Discovery Channel</i>...</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Wait a minute! I saw that! On <i>The Discovery Channel</i>, yeah! About
|
||
jellyfish and how if you... (stops suddenly and turns to look at Monica) Ewwww!! You peed
|
||
on yourself?!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe and Rachel:</b> Ewwww!!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> You can’t say that!! You-you don’t know!! I mean I thought I
|
||
was gonna pass out from the pain! Anyway I-I tried, but I-I couldn’t...bend that way.
|
||
So... (looks at Joey.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe, Ross, and Rachel:</b> (turning to look at Joey) Ewwww!!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> That’s right I stepped up! She’s my friend and she needed help!
|
||
And if I had too, I’d pee on anyone of you! Only, uhh, I couldn’t. I got the
|
||
stage fright. I wanted to help, but there was too much pressure. So-so I uh, I turned to
|
||
Chandler.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> (wails loudly into his hands) Joey kept screaming at me, “Do it
|
||
now! Do it!! Do it! Do it now!!” Sometimes late at night I can still here the
|
||
screaming.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> (laughs) That’s ‘cause sometimes I just do it through my wall to
|
||
freak you out.</p>

|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe Sr.:</b> No, I’m not done. I-I-I just want you to know that I, the

|
