(Ross and Rachel)

Ross - Are you sure that you’re all right?

Rachel - Yeah, I’m sure. Have you finished eating yet? I have.

Ross - Good. (He snaps his fingers and a waiter appears, playing a violin. Ross reaches into his pocket and pulls out a jewellery box. He drops onto his knees and opens the box. It’s an engagement ring, much bigger than he could ever afford.) Miss Green, I love you more than anything else and I want to spend my life with you. Would you do me the honour of becoming my wife? I’ve booked a church here for tomorrow.

Rachel - Oh my god! What did you just say?

Ross - Will you marry me, Rachel?
