|

<p><b>Rachel:</b> What?</p>
|

<p><b>Chandler:</b> Well, as old as he is in dog years, do you think Snoopy should still

|

|

<p><b>Rachel:</b> Yeah.</p>
|

|

<p><b>Gunther:</b> Do you remember when you first came here, how you spent two weeks
|
||
getting trained by another waitress?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Oh, sure! Do you need me to train somebody new?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Gunther:</b> (laughs) Good one. Actually, ah, Terry wants you to take the training

again, whenever.</p>

<p>[Scene: The hallway of Ross’s building, there is a Brown Bird girl selling
|
||
cookies, as Ross and Chandler come up the stairs.]</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Sarah:</b> So that’s two boxes of the Holiday Macaroons. On behalf of the Brown
|
||
Birds of America, I salute you. (Does the Brown Bird salute, she blows on a bird call,
|
||
then holds her hand, palm facing out, next to her face, and then waves it like a bird
|
||
flapping it’s wings.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Just admit it Chandler, you have no backhand.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Excuse me little one, I have a very solid backhand.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Shielding your face and shrieking like a girl... is not a backhand.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> I was shrieking... like a Marine.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>(they both start up the stairs.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> All right here. Watch me execute the three ‘P’s of championship
|
||
play. Power. (swings the racquet) Precision. (swings the racquet.) and penache. (does a
|
||
backswing and hits Sarah who’s started up the stairs, knocking her down, they both
|
||
watch in horror.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>[Scene: Central Perk, the gang’s all there discussing the incident.]</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> You broke a little girl’s leg?!!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> I know. I feel horrible. Okay.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> (reading the paper) Says here that a muppet got whacked on <i>Seasame
|
||
Street</i> last night. (to Ross) Where exactly were around ten-ish?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Well, I’m gonna go see her. I want to bring her something, what do
|
||
you think she’ll like?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> Maybe a <i>Hello Kitty</i> doll, the ability to walk...</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>(Rachel starts to laugh, and Ross notices her.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> I’m gonna get back to retraining. (gets up)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> All right, see you guys. (starts to leave)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Look out kids, he’s coming! (Ross continues to leave with his
|
||
head down in shame.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> And I gotta go sell some Christmas trees.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Have fun. Oh wait, no, don’t! I forgot I am totally against that
|
||
now.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> What? Me having a job?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> No, no, I am against innocent trees being cut down in their prime, and
|
||
their, their corpses grotesquely dressed in like tinsel and twinkly lights. (to Joey) Hey,
|
||
how do you sleep at night?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> Well, I’m pretty tired from lugging the trees around all day. Hey,
|
||
Phoebe listen, you got this all wrong. Those trees were born to be Christmas trees, their
|
||
fulfilling their life purpose, by, by making people happy.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Really?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>(Phoebe turns and looks at Monica, while Joey frantically motions to Chandler to help
|
||
him out.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Yes. Yes, and ah, ah, the trees are happy too, because for most of
|
||
them, it’s the only chance to see New York.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>[cut to Gunther retraining Rachel.]</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Gunther:</b> ...and after you’ve delivered the drinks, you take the empty
|
||
tray....</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Gunther, Gunther, please, I’ve worked here for two and a half
|
||
years, I know the empty trays go over there. (points to the counter.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Gunther:</b> What if you put them here. (sets the empty tray on another stack of
|
||
empty trays on the back counter.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Huh. Well, y'know that’s actually a really good idea, because that
|
||
way they’ll be closer to the mugs. Y'know what, you should have the other waitresses
|
||
do that too.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Gunther:</b> They already do. That’s why they call it the ‘tray
|
||
spot.’</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Gee, I always heard them talk about that, I just always thought that it
|
||
was a club they went to. Oh God, I’m, I’m sorry. (walks away)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Gunther:</b> It’s all right. Sweetheart.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>[Scene: Sarah’s bedroom, her room is decorated with a space motif.]</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> So, this must be kinda neat for ya, huh? I mean, your Dad tells me that
|
||
you get a couple of days off school, and you, you ah, don’t have to sell those
|
||
cookies anymore. </p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Sarah:</b> Well, I kinda wanted to sell the cookies. The girl who sells the most
|
||
wins a trip to Spacecamp, and gets to sit in a <b>real</b> space shuttle.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Wow, you ah, you really like all this space stuff, huh?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Sarah:</b> Yeah. My Dad says if I spend as much time helping him clean apartments,
|
||
as I do daydreaming about outer space, he’d be able to afford a trip to the Taj
|
||
Mahal.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> I think you would have to clean a whole lot of apartments to go all the
|
||
way to India.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Sarah:</b> No. The one in Atlantic City, Dad loves the slots. He says he’s
|
||
gonna double the college money my Grandma left me.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Huh. Well, good luck to Dad. Say, how many more boxes would you have to
|
||
sell in order to win?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Sarah:</b> The girl who won last year sold four hundred and seventy-five.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Yeah.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Sarah:</b> So far, I’ve sold seventy-five.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Four hundred, huh? Well, that sounds do-able. (starts to get out his
|
||
wallet) How much are the boxes?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Sarah:</b> Five dollars a box.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> (puts away his wallet) And what is second prize?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Sarah:</b> A ten speed bike. But, I’d rather have something my Dad
|
||
couldn’t sell.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Well, that makes sense.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Sarah:</b> Could you do me one favor, if it’s not too much trouble?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Yeah, Sarah, anything.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Sarah:</b> Could you pull open the curtains for me? The astronauts from the space
|
||
shuttle are gonna be on the news, and since we don’t have a TV, the lady across the
|
||
alley said she’d push hers up to a window, so I could watch it.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>[Scene: A hallway, Ross is selling Brown Bird cookies for Sarah, he stops and knocks on
|
||
a door.]</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Woman:</b> (looking through her peephole, we see Ross standing in the hallway.)
|
||
Yesss?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Hi, I’m selling Brown Bird cookies.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Woman:</b> You’re no Brown Bird, I can see you through my peephole.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> No, hi, I’m, I’m an honorary Brown Bird (does the Brown Bird
|
||
salute.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Woman:</b> What does that mean?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Ah, well, it means that I can sell cookies, but I’m not invited to
|
||
sleep-overs.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Woman:</b> I can dial 9-1-1 at the touch of a button, y'know. Now, go away!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> No, please, please, um, it’s for a poor little girl who wants to go
|
||
to Spacecamp more than anything in the world.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Woman:</b> I’m pressing, a policeman is on his way.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Okay, okay! I’m going. I’m going. (goes across the hall to knock
|
||
on another door.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Woman:</b> I can still see you!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> All right!!</p>

<p>[Scene: Joey’s work, selling Christmas trees.]</p>
|

<p><b>Phoebe:</b> (walking up to Joey) Hey.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> Hey. What, what are you doing here?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Well, I-I thought a lot about what you said, and um, I realilized duh,
|
||
all right maybe I was a little judgmental. Yeah, (looks at the tree) oh, but oh...</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> Look now, Phoebe remember, hey, their just fulfilling their Christmas....</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Destiny.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> Sure.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Yes.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> All right.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Okay. (One of Joey’s co-workers, walks by with a dead tree.) Yikes!
|
||
That one doesn’t look very fulfilled.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> Oh, that’s, that’s ah, one of the old ones, he’s just
|
||
taking it to the back.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> You keep the old ones in the back, that is so ageist.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> Well we have to make room for the fresh ones.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> So, what happens to the old guys?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> Well, they go into the chipper.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Why, do I have a feeling that’s not as happy as it sounds? (Joey
|
||
points out one going into the chipper to her, as this haunty, demonic music starts to play
|
||
in the background) No! Nooooo!!! (she winces in horror and hides her face against
|
||
Joey’s shoulder, as she sees the tree spit out from the chipper.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> (to the guy operating the chipper) Hey! Hey!! (makes the ‘cut
|
||
it’ motion with his hands)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>[Scene: Central Perk, all except Phoebe are there, Ross is telling the gang, minus
|
||
Rachel who’s still being retrained, about the different cookie options.]</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> ...and these come in the shapes of your favourite Christmas characters,
|
||
Santa, Rudolph, and Baby Jesus.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> All right, I’ll take a box of the cream filled Jesus’s.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Wait a minute, one box! Come on, I’m trying to send a little girl to
|
||
Spacecamp, I’m putting you down for five boxes. Chandler, what about you?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Ahh, do you have any coconut flavoured deities?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> No, but ah, there’s coconut in the Hanukkah Menoreoes. I tell you
|
||
what, I’ll put you down for eight boxes, one for each night.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>(Chandler mouths ‘Okay.’)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Mon?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> All right, I’ll take one box of the mint treasures, just one, and
|
||
that’s it. I-I started gaining weight after I joined the Brown Birds. (to Ross)
|
||
Remember, how Dad bought all my boxes and I ate them all?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Ah, no Mon, Dad <b>had</b> to buy everyone of your boxes <b>because</b>
|
||
you ate them all. But ah, y'know I’m sure that’s not gonna happen this time, why
|
||
don’t I put you down for three of the mint treasures and just a couple of the
|
||
Rudolph’s.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> No.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Oh, come on, now you know you want ‘em.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> Don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t do this.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> I’ll tell you what Mon, I’ll give you the first box for free.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> (she reaches out for it and stops) Oh God! I gotta go! (runs out)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Come on! All the cool kids are eating ‘em! (chases after her.)</p>

<p>[cut to Gunther retraining Rachel.]</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Gunther:</b> And when you have a second later, I wanna show you why we don’t
|
||
just trap spiders under coffee mugs and leave them there.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> (sitting down next to Chandler) I’m training to be better at a job
|
||
that I hate, my life officially sucks.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> Look Rach, wasn’t this supposed to a temporary thing? I thought you
|
||
wanted to do fashion stuff?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Well, yeah! I’m still pursuing that.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> How... exactly are you pursuing that? Y'know other than sending out
|
||
resumes like what, two years ago?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Well, I’m also sending out.... good thoughts.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> If you ask me, as long as you got this job, you’ve got nothing
|
||
pushing you to get another one. You need the fear.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> The fear?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> He’s right, if you quit this job, you then have motivation to go
|
||
after a job you really want.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Well then how come you’re still at a job that you hate, I mean why
|
||
don’t you quit and get ‘the fear’?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>(Chandler and Joey both laugh)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Because, I’m too afraid.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> I don’t know, I mean I would give anything to work for a designer,
|
||
y'know, or a buyer.... Oh, I just don’t want to be 30 and still work here.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Yeah, that’d be much worse than being 28, and <b>still</b>
|
||
working here.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Gunther:</b> Rachel?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Yeah.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Gunther:</b> Remind me to review with you which pot is decaf and which is regular.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Can’t I just look at the handles on them?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Gunther:</b> You would think.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Okay, fine. Gunther, y'know what, I am a terrible waitress, do you know
|
||
why I’m a terrible waitress? Because, I don’t care. I don’t care. I
|
||
don’t care which pot is regular and which pot is decaf, I don’t care where the
|
||
tray spot is, I just don’t care, this is not what I want to do. So I don’t think
|
||
I should do it anymore. I’m gonna give you my weeks notice.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Gunther:</b> What?!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Gunther, I quit.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> (to Joey) Does this mean we’re gonna have to start paying for
|

coffee? (Joey shrugs his shoulders.)</p>

That’s when it occurred to me, the key to my success, ‘the munchies.’ So I
