<p>[Scene: Monica and Chandler's, Monica, Chandler, Ross, and Rachel are sitting around
|
||
the table.]</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> I’m glad you’re here, we have a couple of things to ask you
|
||
about the wedding ceremony.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> (starting to cry) Ohh…</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> What’s the matter? You okay?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Yeah, it’s just y’know…</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> (To Ross) Monica said wedding.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> Uh, so anyway, we thought one of you could read something during the
|
||
ceremony.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Oh! I would love to read a poem.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Do you think you could get through a poem?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> (crying) It’ll be a short one.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> Okay, so Ross will be doing the reading.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Ohhh…</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Okay. Yeah, I guess, I guess I could do that too.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Too?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Yeah, I kind of uh, have something else planned for you guys.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> Do you mind telling us what it is?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Sorry, I’m kinda keeping this one on the Q.T.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Well, whatever it is, I hope it involves winking. (Winks in a spy-type
|
||
manner.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> (entering, excited) Hey!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>All:</b> Hey!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> So I just talked to one of the DOOL writers today, and…</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> What is DOOL?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> <i>Days Of Our Lives</i>. Anyway, you’re not gonna believe it! My
|
||
character is coming out of his coma!!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>All:</b> Oh!!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> That’s great!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> And-and-and not only that, I’m gettin’ a new brain!!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> So great things are happening at work <b>and</b> in your personal
|
||
life!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Wait, what do you mean you’re getting a new brain?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> Oh well, they’re killing off one of the characters on the show, and
|
||
when she dies her brain is being transplanted into my body.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> What? A brain transplant?!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> (seriously) Yes, it’s a highly controversial procedure.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> It’s ridiculous!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> Well, I think it’s ridiculous that you haven’t had sex in three
|
||
and a half months.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> (to Monica and Rachel) It’s winter, they are fewer people on the
|
||
street. (Rachel and Monica smile and nod, knowingly.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> Who are they killing off?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> Uh Cecilia Monroe, she plays Jessica Lockhart.</p>
|
||
<b>
|
||
|
||
</b><p><b>Rachel and <b>Monica:</b></b> Noo!!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> She’s my favorite character on DOOL.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> Nice.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> She is so good at throwing drinks in people’s faces, I mean I
|
||
don’t think I’ve ever seen her finish a beverage.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> And the way she slaps all the time!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Oh!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> Wouldn’t you love to do it just once?! (Raises her hand towards
|
||
Chandler.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Don’t do it.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Cecilia Monroe man, what a great actress.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> Oh, tell me about it. And she’s been on the show forever, it’s
|
||
gonna be really hard to fill her shoes.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Yeah-yeah, help me out here, when you come out of the "brain
|
||
transplant," you are going to be her?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> Yes, but in Drake Ramoray’s body. (Ross laughs unbelievably.) Why is
|
||
this so hard for you to get? I thought you were a scientist!</p>

<p>[Scene: Phoebe and Rachel sitting on the couch in Central Perk]</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> (Clears Throat) Rach, so, that guy there. Straight or gay?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> (They both look behind them.) Well, I'd have to say gay.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Yeah? Why?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Well mainly because he's kissing that other guy.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Oh no not that guy there. That guy right there. (Pointing to an
|
||
attractive man sitting at a table behind them.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Oh yeah he's too cute to be straight.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> (A woman with large breasts walks in the door) Ohh knockers will help us
|
||
figure it out. (She walks by and he checks her out.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> All right, straight, and not subtle. (The man gets up and leaves.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Ohh, he left his cell phone.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Oh, well, we can hand it to Gunther and he'll put it in lost and found.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Or we could use it to call China. See how those guys are doing.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> What if, um, if he calls his own cell phone to find out who found it and
|
||
I answer and we start talking and we fall in love. I mean wouldn't that be a great story?
|
||
Kind of like a fairy tale for the digital age.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Yeah… That does sound great. I'm going to get the phone. (They both
|
||
get up.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> What? Wait! Why…why do you get the story?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> I don't know. I haven't been out on a date in so long.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Phoebe, you had a date three days ago.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> That wasn’t a date! That was, that was just friends getting
|
||
together…(quietly) having sex.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Okay. Okay, see? I get the phone.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> No way! No way! You <b>just</b> broke with Tag a week ago.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Yeah! (Breaking up) And until now, I didn’t think I’d love
|
||
again.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Nice try.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Oh hey-hey wait! How do we fairly decide who gets the phone?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> I don’t know. </p>
|
||
|
||
<p>(They edge closer to the phone on the table.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Well umm, maybe we could uhh… (Grabs the phone) Ah-ha! Too slow!! </p>
|
||
|
||
<p>(She holds the phone out and starts taunting Phoebe. Phoebe calming knocks the phone
|
||
out of Rachel’s hand and catches it.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Ah-ha! Too cocky!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>[Scene: Silvercup Studios, Joey is watching Jessica Lockhart perform a scene.]</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Dina:</b> I’m going to keep dating him Mother, and there’s nothing you can
|
||
do about it!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Jessica Lockhart:</b> Oh yes there is!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Dina:</b> What are you going to do? Kill him? Like you did with Charles?!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Jessica Lockhart:</b> (gasps) That was an accident! And so were you.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Dina:</b> Well, at least I’m not a murderer! (Jessica slaps her.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Jessica Lockhart:</b> (crying) Oh, my baby! (Hugs Dina, but moves Dina’s head
|
||
to her other shoulder so that she’s the only one in the picture.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><strong>The Director:</strong> Cut!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>(Joey walks up to Cecilia Monroe who plays Jessica.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> That was a great scene! And-and-and that slap looks so real! How do you do
|
||
that?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Cecilia:</b> Oh, just years of experience.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Dina:</b> (crying) Can I get some ice here?!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> Oh anyway, I just wanted to say how wonderful I think you are.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Cecilia:</b> You’re not the fan who’s dying are you?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> Say what?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Cecilia:</b> I’m supposed to meet and hug a fan who's dying, but that’s
|
||
not supposed to be until (to no one in particular) later!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> No. No, I’m Joey Tribbiani; we did a scene together yesterday.
|
||
I-I’m the guy in the coma!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Cecilia:</b> Oh that was a real person?!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> An-an-anyway I-I just wanted to say that since I’m getting your brain
|
||
when you leave the show, I was wondering if there was any tips you can give me…</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Cecilia:</b> I-I-I’m leaving the show?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> (quickly) I don’t know. Why? Did you hear something?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Cecilia:</b> Who told you that?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> Oh uh, one of the writers.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Cecilia:</b> Which one? Was it bald or was it tall?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> Umm…</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Cecilia:</b> Y’know what? It doesn’t matter! Because it is not true!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> Okay.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Cecilia:</b> And if it were true, how <b>dare</b> you come to me ask me for tips
|
||
about a character that I’ve been playing for 20 years—I’ll give you a tip!
|
||
(She throws her drink in his face.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> Ms. Monroe… (She slaps him) Oh there you go. (She storms off, leaving
|
||
Joey standing next to Dina. They share a nod at the ferocity of the slap they just
|
||
received.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>[Scene: Central Perk, Phoebe and Rachel are still arguing over the phone.]</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> No Phoebe! You cannot get the phone that way; that’s not fair! Okay
|
||
look, I have an idea. Why don’t we, why don’t we see what kind of number he has
|
||
on his speed dial, and then from that we can tell who has more in common with him. And
|
||
then whoever does gets the phone.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Or, we can decide by whose ever name is closer to the word phone.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> I don’t think so.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> (handing Rachel the phone) Fine all right, but I’d bet you’d
|
||
be singing another tune if we were fighting over a ratchet.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> (checking the speed dial) All right, first name on the speed dial is
|
||
mom.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Ohh, I lost my mom to suicide.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Okay no way, you cannot use that to get the cute guy and the last
|
||
blueberry muffin.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Did I use that already today? I’m sorry.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> Yes okay. (Checking the speed dial again.) Well now see this isn’t
|
||
telling us anything. (Reading the speed dial) Joe. Carlos. Peter. Ooh! Peter Luger! T
|
||
hat’s a steak house!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Okay, a meat eater. Fine, that’s one for you.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> (looking at the speed dial) Oh, I win! He’s got <i>Barney’s</i>
|
||
on his speed dial.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> So you don’t know that’s <i>Barney’s</i> the store! That
|
||
can be y’know his friend’s house, or a bar. Who has <i>Barney’s</i> the
|
||
store on their speed dial?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> (showing Phoebe her phone) His new girlfriend!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>[Scene: Monica and Chandler's, Monica and Chandler are eating lunch, when they start to
|
||
hear a horrible screeching noise. It sounds like someone is skinning a cat.]</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> What is that?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> I think it’s the dying cat parade.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> It sounds like it’s coming from across the street.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> (turning around and looking) Oh my God!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> What?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Y’know that thing that Ross was gonna do at our wedding?! He was
|
||
hanging out with me yesterday and he turned to me and said, "You’re half
|
||
Scottish right?"</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> Nooo!!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Yes!!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>[Cut to Ross’s apartment, he is playing the Bagpipes, badly. He’s worse than
|

that whole keyboard thing a few years ago.]</p>

<p>[Scene: Monica and Chandler's, scene continued from earlier. They both get up and move
|
||
to the window.]</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> No, there is no way! It can <b>not</b> be Ross! (She looks through the
|
||
window and sees Ross practicing and fumbling around with the pipes.) Unbelievable! <b>Why</b>
|
||
is your family Scottish?!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Why is your family <b>Ross</b>?!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> He cannot play at our wedding! I mean everyone will leave! I mean come
|
||
on, that is just noise! It’s not even a song!</p>
|
||
|

<p><b>Chandler:</b> If you listen very carefully, I think its <i>Celebration</i> by <i>Cool

<p><b>Rachel:</b> Umm Pheebs, remember when we were in the coffee house we decided that I

|
||
|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> Yeah.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Rachel:</b> And remember how I said I was going to keep it in my purse so that if it

|
||
<p><b>Phoebe:</b> No. Umm, okay. But while you dial, let me show you the features of my new

(To Phoebe, holding out both phones.) It’s for me!</p>
|

<p><b>Phoebe:</b> That is damning evidence.</p>
|

<p>(The cute guy’s phone rings.)</p>

|

(Happily) Hi! It’s Rach… (Phoebe knocks the phone out of Rachel’s hand,

catches it, and answers it.) Would you stop doing that?!</p>

it's going to be very soon and that’s it.</p>

|

<p><b>Joey:</b> Uh yeah-ye-ye-ye-ye-ye—l-l-l-l-l-look the-the-the only reason that I,
|
||
that I came up to you before was because well, I’m really nervous about-about being
|
||
you. Y’know if you can help me capture the essence of the character. Y’know?
|
||
Help me keep Jessica alive. Please?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Cecilia:</b> All right Joey, I will help you. Not because I-I owe it to this <b>stupid

|

<p><b>Joey:</b> Oh that’s great! Oh thank you so much!</p>

British accent.) "Jessica Lockhart will never set foot in this place again!

|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> Do you want some shortbread? Eh that’s Scottish like you are.</p>
|

|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Oh no thanks. I don’t like <b>any</b>thing from my Scottish

heritage.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> What?!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Well it’s just my entire family was run out of Scotland
|
||
by…Vikings. Anyway, lots of bad memories. (Makes a few unintelligible noises.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Oh well, it sounds to me like your family is ready to uh, rediscover its
|
||
Scottish roots.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Monica:</b> No! No-no they’re not. They’re still very angry! But
|
||
y’know Chandler is also half-Swedish. You know what the Swedish people are famous
|
||
for? Sitting down and being quiet.</p>
|
||
|

<p><b>Ross:</b> Well yeah-yeah the Scottish history is so much more…</p>
|

<p><b>Chandler:</b> We heard you play all the way from your apartment!</p>
|

|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Were you the ones called the cops?!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> That’s not really important right now. What is important is;
|
||
while we appreciate the gesture, we just don’t feel bagpipes are appropriate for our
|
||
wedding.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> Why not?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> Because we hate them.</p>

|
||
|
||
<p><b>Chandler:</b> We <b>have</b> heard you play.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Ross:</b> No, you’ve heard my practice. Okay? Just-just give me a chance to
|
||
perform for you and then decide whatever you want. And I’m not going to tell you what
|
||
song I’m gonna play either. But uh, let’s just say when it’s over I’ll
|

bet there will be a wee bit o’ celebration.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>[Scene: Silvercup Studios, Joey is getting pointers on how to play Jessica Lockhart.]</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Cecilia:</b> So, the essence of the character is rooted in her confidence. So, when
|
||
Jessica enters a room for instance, she owns everything and every person in that room.
|
||
(Joey is nodding.) You try.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> Okay! (He scurries out the set door and re-enters, extremely impressed)
|
||
All right!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Cecilia:</b> No, he already knows that he owns everything in the room! He’s not
|
||
finding it out for the first time! So, try it again.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> Okay. Okay. (He goes out and comes back in, glaring at everything.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Cecilia:</b> Right. He’s not angry at the room either. Try it again, he owns
|
||
it! He owns the room. It is his. He owns, owns, owns, <b>owns</b> the room! He owns it!!
|
||
(Joey gets a snooty look on his face.) All right, it’s a little weird, but it’s
|
||
getting better. (Joey is pleased.) Oh well, I’m gonna miss this woman so much. I
|
||
don’t know what I’m going to do! I mean, it’s been 20 years of my life.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> Oh well—Hey-hey! Maybe, maybe uh, maybe this is a good thing.
|
||
Y’know? It’ll-it’ll give you a chance to shake things up, play different
|
||
characters. You’re so talented.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Cecilia:</b> I am. I am, but I don’t know, you know. An actor of a certain age
|
||
is not that easy.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> Hey that’s not true! Look at uh, look at Angela Lansb—Angelina
|
||
Jolie!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Cecilia:</b> I probably should’ve just left years ago when the offers were
|
||
pouring in, but y’know I just got so comfy here! And… Ohh, I turned down some
|
||
amazing work!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> Like-like what?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Cecilia:</b> Well, let’s just say if I left 15 years ago, the landscape of
|
||
Mexican cinema would be very different today!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> (impressed) Wow!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Cecilia:</b> But… Well now, now’s a different time for me. (Starts to
|
||
cry.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> Oh hey come on, don’t-don’t-don’t do this! Umm, look
|
||
let-let me tell you something, okay? Now when I watch you do a scene, I’m thinking,
|
||
"Boy, she-she is a great actress!" (She’s not buying it.) Uh but-but, I am
|
||
also thinking, "She is hot!"</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Cecilia:</b> (intrigued) You think I’m hot?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> You own the room. (She smiles and stares longingly into his eyes.) We
|
||
should probably get-get uh…</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Cecilia:</b> Oh yeah-yeah, we should get the… (Pause) So when Jessica kisses a
|
||
man, she usually puts umm, both her hands on the man’s face. (She does so.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> Yeah-yeah, I noticed that! Is that ‘cause she’s so passionate?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Cecilia:</b> No! It’s because that way the camera only sees her! (She takes her
|
||
hands off his face.) Do you wanna try it?</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Joey:</b> Yeah! Okay. (He puts his hands on her face and they kiss.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><b>Cecilia:</b> That was good, that was really good. But I-I think your hands
|
||
may be a
|
||
little off, they should be maybe right like… (She grabs the back of his neck and

kisses him passionately causing them to fall onto the couch.)</p>

<p>(He starts. And well, <i>Celebration</i> was never meant to be played on the bagpipe,

so even the best bag pipe players in the world would have trouble with that particular

song. So of course, for a beginner like Ross, it sounds absolutely dreadful. The assembled
