Everything I wrote- except for the stuff concerning Friends- is original, and was not purposely based on any other series.

One more thing before you start I have tow requests: A. Don't matter what you do please DO NOT take me seriously B. If you don't like this script (it's okay I'm not I know I suck- and this will be my last Friends script) keep on reading I swear it gets better- if you still don't like to bad- like you can do better! And so with no further ado I represent to you my fan-fic.


{Scene: Central Perk, everyone is there}

Phoebe: OK, so are we like still gonna go swimming this weekend?

Rachel: What, pheebs, we never said we're gonna go swimming!

Phoebe: Well, I thought it was a good idea.

Ross: But, we can't go swimming, pheebs. It's autumn.

Joey: Oh! Oh! We can go swim in the sea!

Chandler: Yeah, 'cause that's gonna be a lot less cold!

Joey: [disappointed] Well, okay. [pause] We can go to my uncle's house in Maine.

All: What? Really? You didn't tell us!

Joey: I told Chandler.

[everyone looks at Chandler]

Chandler: You did not tell me that!

Joey: Sure I did! Don't you remember, when you know… I told you.

[everyone looks at Joey]

-Opening Credits-

(theme song- FRIENDS)

(theme song- Right Next Door)

{Scene: Central Perk, later, everyone but Monica is there, all packed and ready to go- Joey takes a muffin that is laying in front of Ross}

Ross: Um, Joey I think that was my muffin.

Joey: Yeah and than you turned away.

Ross: Still… it's my muffin. [takes the muffing from his hand]

Joey: Apparently not any more. [takes it back]

Chan: Boys, boys, don't fight. There's only one way of stealing it. The way they did back home [pose] arm resoling.

Ross: They settled things in your house whit arm-resoling?

Chan: No, but it sounds better than arguing for three moths and than moving out of the house.

[they're posing their hands as Monica rushes in with her luggage and so they're distracted]

Moni: Okay, now the house is perfectly organized. Let's hit the road!

Ross: Okay, um, Joey, you go with Phoebe and show her the way, and the rest of us will follow.

[they head out]

Joey: [turning to Phoebe] You know how to get to Maine, right?

Phoe: Yeah, sure.

Joey: Okay, good then.

[they all leave]

{Scene: Much later, in Phoebe's car, Phoebe is driving, Joey is sitting next to her, and Rachel is sleeping in the back}

Rach: [waking up] Are we in Maine yet?

Phoe: Yeah, but Joey doesn't know where to go.

Joey: Yes I do! We're going to Williamstown.

Phoe: Okay, I'm stopping at that rest stop over there. Can you see Ross and the others behind us?

[Joey sticks his head out of the window]

Joey: Oh yeah, there they are! Hi Ross! [waving vigorously]

[cut to the other car]

Moni: Does anybody know where we are?

Ross: No, but I guess Joey knows the way.

Moni: Oh, look! He's waving at us! [Ross waves back, and Chandler has an Oh-dear-god-what-is-he-doing look]

Ross: W-wait, they're stopping at that rest stop. I hope everything is okay.

Chan: Oh, I'm sure everything is okay. Joey is in charge.

[they pull over and get out to meet the others]

{Outside}

Ross: Hey guys. What's going on?

Rach: Joey doesn't know where to go!

Moni: What do you mean he doesn't know where to go? [to Joey] Don't you have a map?

Joey: I have this note my uncle gave me.

Chan: Gimme that. [he takes it out of Joey's hand and looks at it] This says "Williamstown, MA"!

Joey: Yeah?

Chan: MA is Massachusetts, not Maine! It's Williamstown, Massachusetts!

[they all look disappointed]

Rach: So, what do we do now?

Joey: Drive to Massachusetts?

Phoe: Oh, but I want to stay here! [they all look at her] Maine is really pretty! Massachusetts is so boring. Everyone that I know from Massachusetts is boring.

Ross: Well, it is getting kinda late.

Chan: Okay, Maine is the land of summerhouses, I bet we could find a place to stay.

Moni: Okay! Great! Well, does anyone have a road map?

Phoe: We don't need one, cause I Know Maine, and you don't wanna know how.

[they get back in the cars. We cut to later, when they approach the town]

Rach: [reading from the welcome sign] "Welcome to Brightfield-" [and from the graffiti under it] "-It grows on you". Hmm, interesting.

{Scene: An empty coffee-place (Sky Bright), two guys (Davey and Adam) are sitting at the counter eating from a jar labeled "brownies". Adam is constantly giving Davey parts of his brownie}

Adam: No way, man! She-Ra is way better than He-Man! [in case you don't know, He-Man and She-Ra are two cartoon super-heroes] Here. [gives a piece of his brownie to Davey]

Davey: No! I cannot believe you would say that.

Adam: Here [another piece of his brownie]

Davey: You like She-Ra better, and you don't eat the chocolate chips in the brownies. Something is wrong with you.

Adam: The brownies- here- are tastier without the chocolate chips.

Davey: [pulling back] Blasphemy!

[a woman (Tiffany) goes down the stairs that lead upstairs and have a sign next to them that says "Rooms", and joins Davey and Adam]

Tiffany: Hi Adam, hi Davey, what are you guys up to?

Adam: What do you think?

Tiffany: Nothing?

Davey: That's two points for Tiffany!

Tiffany: So, can I join you?

Adam: I thought you have a job.

Tiffany: I thought you do too.

Adam: Never mind. [pause] Let's make peace and laugh at Davey's job.

Tiffany: [smiling] Yeah, Davey. Wasn't this supposed to be the busy season?

Davey: It is! We had a customer just two hours ago.

Adam: Then he left, and we got bored and made brownies for the brownie jar! You want some? I'm getting sick.

Tiffany: Yeah, sure. [she takes one and starts eating] Ew, chocolate chips. [Davey gets up and leaves, annoyed]

[Another woman (Sara) and a guy (Freddie) walk in]

All: Hi Sara, hi Freddie.

Sara: [to Davey] Hi honey. [she kisses him. To the others:] Hi guys, what's up?

Adam: We made brownies for the brownie jar! [shows them the jar]

Freddie: Did you put banana slices in them?

Adam: No, sorry.

Freddie: Okay. [he takes one]

[The "Friends" gang walks in]

Chan: [looking around] Hey, excuse me, but, do you have coffee?

Moni: Yeah, we just came all the way from New York, and… we really want coffee.

Davey: Yeah, sure! [to Adam] Told you it was the busy season. That's [counting] seven customers today. [to Freddie] Freddie, get on it. [Freddie goes to the kitchen] Anything else?

Ross: Uh, yeah, do you know a place to stay? We kinda… don't have any.

Sara: Sure, we've got rooms upstairs. How many do you need? [before they get to answer] 'Cause there's three.

Moni: Three will be fine, thank you.

Adam: Wait, how come there's three rooms? One, empty room, two, empty room, three, me! [realizing] Uh-oh.

Sara: I'm sorry, Adam, but- [cut by Adam]

Adam: [hurt] No, no, that's okay, I can sleep… somewhere else.

Tiffany: You can stay with me if you wanna.

Adam: No! Your house is too [thinking]… far away. It's fifty yards from here! Ha!

Davey: Okay then, you can stay with Sara and me.

Adam: No! You are ruining my miserability! I'm gonna sleep in the hall, and be miserable, so there!

[The "Friends" gang watch this awe-struck]

{Scene: Sky Bright, later, the "Friends" gang are sitting on a couch (of course) talking, and Adam is sitting at the counter, holding the brownie jar and staring at Monica. Tiffany comes to him]

Tiff: Didn't your parents tell you it's not polite to stare?

Adam: [not really listening] She's pretty. Definitely, definitely pretty.

Tiff: Okay then, why don't you go over to her?

Adam: Because I can't.

Tiff: Why?

Adam: Because she might be embarrassed, with her boyfriend around. [pointat Chandler, who has his arm wrapped around Monica]

[Joey gets up and heads to them]

Joey: [to Adam] Excuse me, where's the bathroom? [Adam points to it. On his way, as he passes next to Tiffany:] How you doin'?

Tiff: [coldly] Just fine, thank you. [Joey walks away]

Adam: What's the matter Tiff, not blond enough for you?

Tiff: Huh? Oh, shut up, Mr. I-fell-in-love-with-the-girl-who-already-has-a-boyfriend!

Adam: [hurt] Hey, she fell for a loser once, she can do it again!

[cut to the "Friends" gang on the other side of the room]

Chan: Has anybody noticed that these guys are really weird?

Phoe: Yeah, like that guy over there [she's referring to Adam] that's been staring at Monica for the past half-hour?

Moni: What guy?

Phoe: Him. [mentions to Adam]

Rach: [looking back] Oh, he's cute. Watch out, Chandler.

Moni: Oh, come on, Rach. [also looking back] But he is cute.

Chan: [also looking back, in a defensive tone] Define cute.

[cut to Adam, who suddenly notices that everyone is looking at him, so he turns around and goes upstairs. With the brownie jar]

{Scene: Adam's (a small apartment- just one room, with a bed, a kitchenette, and a living room consisting of a carpet, some cushions, and a large cardboard box), he's packing his few stuff into a hiking backpack. Chandler and Monica enter}

Adam: [noticing them] Oh, I'm… I'm sorry. I'm still packing. I'll be out in a second.

Chan: Boy, this room is small.

Adam: Well, that's all I could afford.

Moni: How much was it? Ten bucks?

Adam: Actually, three Australian dollars and 22 American cents.

Moni: What?

Adam: I just came back from Australia for Sara and Davey's wedding, they're the guys who bout this place, and I spent all my money on getting here, and then they decided they don't want to get married and I got stuck here with no place to stay, and since they just opened this place they let stay here forever for all the money I got, which was three Australian dollars and 22 American cents. [and he said that really fast]

Chan: Okay… whatever.

Adam: [finishing his packing] Well, I'm leaving.

Moni: Are you really gonna sleep in the hall?

Adam: Nah, I just wanted to make Sara and Davey feel bad. I'm staying with them, so if you need me, I'm right next door. [and he really is- he's from the "Right Next Door" gang. Nice joke, huh? I crack myself up. J ]

{Scene: Sara and Davey's, Adam is setting his sleeping bag}

Dave: Hey Adam, is that all of your stuff? [motioning to the backpack]

Adam: Yeah, that's pretty much everything.

Dave: What about your box?

Adam: My what? Oh, my box. You're right, I gotta get it back. [he gets up immediately and leaves]

[cut to Adam standing at his… um, Monica and Chandler's door, and knocking frantically]

Adam: Open up, open up, open up!

[Monica opens the door]

Moni: What is it?

Adam: I… uh, I'm here to take… my… box. [he starts to go to it. Chandler is nowhere to be seen. Adam suddenly notices something] Hey, where are my beers?

Moni: What?

Adam: My beers. I kept them under the TV-uh, the box.

Moni: Well, I put them in the refrigerator. That's where they should go.

Adam: Why?

Moni: So that they would be cold.

Adam: Oh, wow, that's a really good idea.

[Chandler enters]

Chan: [annoying] Hi.

Adam: [suddenly very lost] Hi, I just, um… I'm here for the… hi. [he puts the box on his head and leaves]

Moni: He's weird, cute but weird.

{Scene: Sky Bright (still empty- as usual), the next morning, all the "Right Next Door" gang is there, doing morning stuff- drinking coffee, reading the paper, etc.}

Adam: [eating a peanut butter sandwich] You know what should be good? Peanut butter- and ketchup.

All: Ew, Adam, that's disgusting!

Dave: You know what, I'd like to see you eat that.

[cut to later. They are all standing around Adam, who is about to eat what is apparently a peanut butter and ketchup sandwich]

Dave: I can't believe you're actually gonna eat that.

Adam: Watch me. [he takes a bite and starts chewing]

Tiff: So, how is it?

Adam: [still chewing] Disgusting.

Sara: You wanna spit it out?

Adam: Uh-huh. [he spits it out into a napkin and puts the sandwich away]

[Phoebe comes down the stairs]

Phoe: Umm, hi, I'm Phoebe, and listen can I, like, sing here?

Sara: Sure, no problem.

Fred: Hey Sara, can I sing too? Please?

Sara: Later, Freddie.

Fred: You always say "later", but you never let me sing!

Sara: You never wanted to sing before.

Fred: You always gotta be right, don't you?

Tiff: [she's wearing a police uniform] Well, I gotta go to work. [she leaves]

Phoe: [on microphone] Um, hi everybody. I want to sing you a song, um, which is one of my favorites, and… I hope you like it. So, there it is. [She starts to sing one of her songs]

{Scene: Outside, Rachel is walking around, as Tiffany comes to her]

Tiff: Hey, you. [Rachel looks at her] You're one of them New Yorkers, aren't ya?

Rach: Yeah… I guess. Why?

Tiff: 'Cause you're treading on the grass.

Rach: Oh, I'm sorry. It wasn't allowed?

Tiff: Yeah.

Rach: [looking around] Well, I don't see any sign.

Tiff: [cynical] Oh, I guess you don't have basic manners in New York.

Rach: What?! What does this have to do with… anything? I was just walking around.

Tiff: On public grass. Listen, this time, you're just off with a warning, but next time, I'm arresting you.

Rach: For treading on grass? Are you nuts?

Tiff: Oh yeah, nuts. Sure. I know what happens in New York. I hear the news.

Rach: Oh my god. What else do you want, to frisk me?

Tiff: You know what, don't mind if I do. Spread 'em, girl!

[Rachel is shocked]

{Scene: Sky Bright, Phoebe is still singing, and the place is packed with people listening to her eagerly. She just finished a song, to loud applause]

Sara: [to Davey who's holding a tray] Wow, it's really full isn't it? I don't remember it being so full since… ever!

Dave: I know, it's as packed as the bus from Milwaukee to Georgia. [nobody laughs. Probably because this is not funny]

Phoe: Okay, thank you! Um, well, I'm kinda done. [the crowd sighs] But I can sing "Smelly Cat" again. [they cheer and she starts singing again]

[cut to Ross, Joey, Monica and Chandler, sitting on a couch]

Ross: I can't believe they actually like Phoebe's songs.

Moni: Ross! That's not nice. They have their own opinions… as weird as those might be.

Joey: This whole town is weird. You know that Tiffany girl? I hit on her yesterday, and she didn't even notice me!

Chan: [sarcastic] No! What did you say?

Joey: I said "How you doin'?"

Chan: The crazy bitch!

[Rachel storms in, and goes to the couch]

Rach: That crazy Tiffany bitch just frisked me!

Joey: …Oh my.

Rach: Joey, stop that. I'm serious, I can sue her.

Moni: For what, doing her job?

Rach: I was treading on grass! Why on earth would she have a reason to frisk me?

Ross: [naive] Maybe she thought you had something in your pocket.

Rach: Oh, this place sucks! Do you know they don't even have one decent store? We gotta leave. We gotta leave now.

Chan: Yeah, okay, but I kinda like this couch. [Joey agrees]

[cut to Davey, Sara and Adam at the counter]

Davey: I really like these guys.

Sara: Yeah, and I think they like it here. Do you think they'll stay for a while?

[Tiffany enters]

Tiff: Oh, how I like kicking New York ass in the morning.

Adam: Huh?

Tiff: I just frisked this Rachel girl for treading on the grass.

Sara: But it's not forbidden to- [cut by Tiffany]

Tiff: Never mind! I just needed to get back at them.

Adam: What for?

Tiff: I don't know. But for some reason, they just annoy me.

[Phoebe's voice is heard on the mike]

Phoe: Well, thank you all for listening to my songs, but I gotta go now 'cause my friends really wanna leave. So, bye. Oh, and if you wanna hear me sing, I'm performing at "Central Perk", New York. Bye! [the crowd sighs and starts to leave]

Dave: Thanks, Tiff.

Tiff: [not understanding] You welcome.

-Closing Credits-

{Scene: Sky Bright, the "Right Next Door" gang is all there, sitting on the couch}

Adam: Hey, you guys wanna hear the weird dream I had last night?

All: Yeah, okay, sure.

Adam: Well, I'm in Las Vegas… and I'm Debbie Reynolds.

Fred: Oh, that's boring. In my dream, I was a green cow.

-The End-

Writer's note: I would like to express my sincere apologies (or just apologies) on a couple omatters.

First of all, I totally wrecked the "Friends" characters. That's too bad.

Secondly, I want to apologize to the readers. The boring disclaimer in the beginning of this episode was not my idea. I was forced to do it.

I would also like to apologize because the episode kinda sucked (you may insert here any other adjective you find suitable). If you did like the episode, I advice consulting with your favorite physician/therapist. If they like it too… that's what my site is for. Not for "Friends", though. For those other nutcases. A very lovely bunch of nutcases, may I add.

I gotta tell you the truth now. The reason I wrote this episode is not my overly affection to the show "Friends"- also I do like it. It's because I wisely manipulated you into knowing, and hopefully liking, my characters. And I bet you didn't suspect it for a second. You are so gullible. I pity you, almost as much as I pity myself.

But now, after you have fallen for my wicked but clever scheme, and you need to know more about my lovely little creations, I invite you to-

 

P.S. For those of you who have somehow over-smarted my scheme, and did not like my episode- please go to my site anyway! Nobody ever visits my site! Everybody hates me!

Okay, if you don't go to my site, I'll cry.

So there.

Yours truly, Joan.
