[Scene: JOEY’S (PHOEBE’S) APARTMENT (Joey is in bed with Phoebe)]
Phoebe: How did we end up here again?
Joey: Norm found out that Crystal wasn’t wearing any underwear.
Phoebe: So?
Joey: So they went to get popcorn and never came back.
Phoebe: You set this all up, didn’t you? (Joey doesn’t answer) Damn it Joey, we’re not supposed to sleep together anymore!
Joey: Hey I didn’t force you to take off your clothes!
Phoebe: I guess we’re just two friends who like to have sex together.
Joey: Huh, that’s what I was thinking. Who needs girlfriends or boyfriends when we have each other.
Phoebe: That’s so sweet. I love you Joey.
Joey: Whoa! There’s no bringing love into this. This is just about you and I having sex all the time.
Phoebe: I realize that. I was referring to what my hand was holding.
Joey: Oh. Batter up.
Opening Credits
[Scene: ROSS & RACHEL’S APARTMENT (Rachel and Ross are present) ]
Ross: Can I open my eyes yet?
Rachel: No. Give me one more minute.
Ross: But I really have to pee.
Rachel: Here (handing him a cup) pee in this.
Ross: Very funny. Are you ready yet?
Rachel: Ok, I’m ready.
(Ross opens his eyes to find Rachel wearing nothing but the new jacket she bought him)
Ross: Where’s the present?
Rachel: I’m wearing it you dumb ass.
Ross: I know. It’s great. Does the naked woman come with the present?
Rachel: What do you think?
Ross: Oh well, it was worth a try. (Ross walks back into the bedroom)
Rachel: (calling after Ross) You idiot, the naked woman comes with the jacket. Ross, Ross, Ross take me now or lose me forever!
(Ross shuts the door and we hear nothing but laughter)
Rachel: My Dr. Geller, it’s supposed to be your birthday, not mine.
[Scene: CENTRAL PERK (Everyone but Ross and Rachel are present) ]
Monica: How was the date Pheebs?
Phoebe: It was great. Norm is a great guy.
Monica: So are you gonna see him again?
Phoebe: No.
Chandler: But I thought you said he was a great guy.
Phoebe: You’re a great guy and I wouldn’t date you.
Chandler: True.
Joey: Maybe Norm just couldn’t fill the shoes of Phoebe’s dream lover.
Phoebe: Or maybe Phoebe just doesn’t wanna see the guy again. Is that so wrong?
(Ross, Rachel and Ben enter)
Ross: Hey guys, look who’s here.
Monica: Ben, come see your Auntie Monica.
Ben: That’s ok, I’d rather hang with Uncle Chandler.
Chandler: (taking Ben on his lap) What’s up Ben?
Ben: Nothing much. Mommy and Mommy just went to San Francisco for three weeks so I get to stay with Dad and Auntie Rachel.
Rachel: That’s Mommy Rachel Ben.
Ben: Whatever.
Rachel: (to Monica) That boy is never gonna see me as a mother figure.
Monica: It’s still early, don’t worry about it.
Joey: How come you guys are all related to Ben and Phoebe and I aren’t?
Chandler: We’d explain it to you Joey, but we wouldn’t want to confuse you.
Joey: I already am confused. Good thing I’m still the kid’s godfather.
Rachel: Joey, Chandler is….
Ross: Leave it alone Rach.
Ben: (to Chandler) Did you know that today is my Daddy’s birthday?
Chandler: Really? I didn’t know that. How old is he?
Ben: How old are you Daddy?
Ross: Old enough to be your father.
Joey: Come on Ross, you’re much older than 12.
[Scene: CHANDLER & MONICA’S APARTMENT (Monica and Phoebe are present) ]
Phoebe: Can I tell you a secret?
Monica: Of course. What’s up?
Phoebe: You can’t blab it to everyone.
Monica: Would I do that?
Phoebe: Ah, yes comes to mind.
Monica: What is it? Are you pregnant?
Phoebe: No! I’m not pregnant! What would make you think that?
Monica: I dunno. Seems like everyone’s getting pregnant these days. Come on what’s your secret?
Phoebe: Joey and I had sex last night.
Monica: What?! You and Norm slept together?
Phoebe: No, Joey and I had sex last night.
Monica: Oh my God, I thought you guys weren’t doing that anymore.
Phoebe: We’re not.
Monica: Then what the hell were you doing last night?
Phoebe: Getting it out of our system?
Monica: Do you want Joey to be your boyfriend?
Phoebe: No.
Monica: Then why do keep having sex with him?
Phoebe: Because you and Rachel are married now?
[Scene: JOEY’S (PHOEBE’S) APARTMENT (Joey and Chandler are present) ]
Joey: Wanna hear something funny?
Chandler: No.
Joey: I’m gonna tell you anyway.
Chandler: What is it?
Joey: I nailed Phoebe last night.
Chandler: What the hell are you doing?
Joey: What da ya mean?
Chandler: You can’t go around ruining Phoebe’s dates.
Joey: Hey, it’s not my fault Norm found out that Crystal wasn’t wearing any underwear.
Chandler: And how did he find out?
Joey: (under his breath) I told him.
Chandler: What was that?
Joey: I said I told him.
Chandler: Do you want Phoebe exclusively?
Joey: No. I just don’t want her seeing other guys.
Chandler: So you’re saying that you want her to stop seeing other guys.
Joey: Pretty much.
Chandler: And you’re gonna stop seeing other girls?
Joey: Hell no! What kinda thought is that!
[Scene: CENTRAL PARK (Ross, Ben and Rachel are picnicking in the park. Ben is off playing on the swings)]
Ross: This is the way to spend a birthday. Next to me I’ve got my loving wife who’s carrying my child and my son hitting on some young girl at the swings.
Rachel: He’s hitting on some girl? Isn’t he a little young for that?
Ross: He takes after his father.
Rachel: Did the mailman father Ben too?
Ross: Oh look, now he’s playing on the monkey bars.
Rachel: Do you think Ben will ever see me as his step-mom?
Ross: Yeah, I do.
Rachel: I don’t think so.
Ross: Why not?
Rachel: Because he keeps referring to me as Auntie Rachel.
Ross: Give it time Rach. This is really the first extended time we’ve had with him since the wedding.
Rachel: I just don’t know if I’m cut out for motherhood.
Ross: You’re gonna be fine.
(We see Ben moving across the monkey bars. He suddenly slips and takes a header onto the playground)
Rachel: Oh my God! Ben! (Rachel sprints after Ben leaving Ross bewildered)
[Scene: CENTRAL PERK (Chandler and Joey are present)]
Chandler: I’m bored.
Joey: Wanna watch porn?
Chandler: That’s what we were doing before we came here!
Joey: So? When I get bored I watch porn.
Chandler: You must be bored a lot.
Joey: Wanna get pizza?
Chandler: We just ate.
Joey: Oh. (pause) How about going to the library?
Chandler: I don’t know how to read.
Joey: Me neither.
(Monica and Phoebe enter)
Monica: Hey honey, Joey.
Joey: Hey guys. What you been up to?
Monica: Nothing much. What you guys been up to?
Chandler: Joey and I were discussing the validity of Einstein’s Theory of Relativity.
Phoebe: Oh, I love Einstein’s Theory of Relativity! What part are you on?
Joey: Ah, the part where we were determining Einstein’s true parents.
Phoebe: Oh, it was a joke. You guys suck. I got excited for nothing.
Chandler: Apparently that’s not all you got excited for.
Phoebe: (to Joey) You told him didn’t you?
Joey: Tell him what?
Phoebe: You know what.
Joey: No. No I don’t.
Phoebe: That we had sex last night.
Chandler: You guys had sex last night?
Phoebe: You didn’t tell him?
Joey: I swear, I didn’t tell him.
Chandler: Yes you did.
Joey: Chandler! That was supposed to be a secret!
Phoebe: I can’t believe you Joey!
Monica: I don’t see what the big deal is Pheebs, you told me the same thing.
Phoebe: Can no one keep a secret around here!
(Norm and Crystal enter)
Norm: Hey guys.
Joey: Hey Crystal, how you doin?
Crystal: Thanks for setting me up with Norm Joey, he’s great.
Phoebe: He set you up with Norm?
Crystal: Yeah. Norm told me how Joey told him that I wasn’t wearing any underwear.
Phoebe: Joey!
Joey: Look at the time, I’d better get myself to the set. Bye guys. (Joey leaves)
Norm: Well anyway, thanks for everything Phoebe.
Phoebe: Sure, I love to be dumped in the middle of a date.
Monica: (to Chandler) Joey’s dead.
Chandler: That’s an understatement.
[Scene: CENTRAL PARK (Rachel and Ross have arrived to tend to Ben)]
Rachel: Are you alright Ben?
Ben: (crying) No! My arm hurts!
Ross: (panicking) Oh crap, he’s bleeding. He’s cracked his head open!
Rachel: Ross! (no answer) Ross, get a hold of yourself!
Ross: What?! What do we do?!
Rachel: (calmly) Go call 911. I’ll stay here with Ben.
Ross: Where’s a phone?
Rachel: Your cell phone is in your bag. Go and call 911.
Ross: What’s the number again?!
Rachel: 911. Now go. (to Ben) It’s gonna be ok sweetie. It looks like you broke your arm and you’ve got a slight cut on the back of your head. Your dad and I will take care of you. It’s gonna be ok. What do you want for dinner?
Ben: Huh?
Rachel: What do you want for dinner?
Ben: Pizza.
Rachel: What kind of pizza?
Ben: Pepperoni.
Rachel: Then pepperoni pizza it is. How are you doing? Does your arm still hurt?
Ben: It’s burning.
Rachel: That’s what happens when your break a bone. You get a burning sensation. You know, when I was your age, I broke my leg playing soccer with my sisters.
Ben: Did it hurt?
Rachel: It hurt for awhile, but then the doctor fixed it and put a cast on it. After that it didn’t hurt that much.
Ben: What about my cut?
Rachel: The doctor’s gonna put some stitches on you to close up the cut. After a couple of days, the doctor will take the stitches out and you’ll be good as new.
Ben: Like after Auntie Monica banged my head on the post at her apartment?
Rachel: Yeah Ben, just like that.
[Scene: CHANDLER & MONICA’S APARTMENT (Chandler and Monica are present) ]
Monica: What’s up with Joey?
Chandler: What da ya mean?
Monica: Why did he sabotage Phoebe’s date like that?
Chandler: I don’t know.
Monica: Ok, you’re lying.
Chandler: I am not!
Monica: Look at me.
Chandler: No.
Monica: Chandler, look at me. (Chandler looks at Monica) See, you’re totally lying.
Chandler: What? How can you get that from me just looking at you?
Monica: Your face is all red.
Chandler: Nah uh. I’m just really hot.
Monica: Fine. So do you think Joey and Phoebe should just admit that they like one another?
Chandler: I dunno. Though I think that’s what Joey wants.
Monica: Ha! I just caught you lying to me. You know what that means.
Chandler: Damn it!
Monica: Shall we adjourn to the bedroom?
Chandler: Fine, but under protest. You tricked me.
Monica: Like you didn’t want to get caught.
Chandler: Maybe I did, maybe I didn’t.
[Scene: JOEY’S (PHOEBE’S) APARTMENT (Joey is watching TV. Phoebe enters)]
Joey: Hey.
Phoebe: Don’t hey me Joey!
Joey: What are you so upset about?
Phoebe: Why did you sabotage my date with Norm?
Joey: I didn’t sabotage your date with Norm. (pause) Wait, what does sabotage mean?
Phoebe: Forget about it. Why did you tell Norm that Crystal wasn’t wearing any underwear?
Joey: I thought he’d be interested to know?
Phoebe: Are we friends?
Joey: Of course we’re friends. Why would you doubt that?
Phoebe: Because friends don’t do that to each other. Goodbye.
Joey: Wait Pheebs! Don’t go.
Phoebe: What?
Joey: Did you ever think that I could have a very good reason to do what I did?
Phoebe: Wanting to be a butthead is not a good reason Joey.
Joey: How about the fact that it hurts me inside to see you go out with other guys?
Phoebe: Huh?
Joey: I really care for you Phoebe. You’re my best friend. I only want the best for you.
Phoebe: And you don’t think I should decide who I date?
Joey: No. No I think you should.
Phoebe: Ok, you’re talking like Joey again. You’re making no sense.
Joey: I’m just saying, maybe the guy your looking for is right in front of you.
Phoebe: (looking around) Is Mitch Buchanan here?
Joey: No, but Dr. Ross Greco is.
Phoebe: Who’s that?
Joey: Me you idiot.
Phoebe: (surprised) What are you saying Joey? Are you in love with me?
Joey: I dunno. I just know that I really look forward to being alone with you.
Phoebe: I don’t know what to say. This is like, wow! You better not be doing this just to get out of being in trouble.
Joey: I wouldn’t do that. (Phoebe stares at Joey) Ok, I would, but I’m not doing that right now.
Phoebe: What about your decision that it wouldn’t be a good idea for us to get together.
Joey: Damn, I forgot about that. (pause) Forget I said it. What da ya say? Wanna go for it?
Phoebe: (after a long pause) What the hell!
[Scene: CHANDLER & MONICA’S APARTMENT (Monica and Chandler are lying on the couch)]
Chandler: What time is it?
Monica: It’s six o’clock.
Chandler: Aren’t you forgetting to do something?
Monica: What are you talking about?
Chandler: It’s dinnertime. Aren’t you forgetting to make dinner?
Monica: Are you being serious?
Chandler: What? It’s six o’clock and it’s getting near dinnertime.
Monica: And you want me to make you dinner.
Chandler: Well….
Monica: Well what?
Chandler: I thought you might be interested in making dinner that’s all. I mean, you do it everyday.
Monica: And you just assume that I’m cooking tonight?
Chandler: Yeah?
Monica: I knew we shouldn’t have had sex today. Is that all you see me as? Your sex slave and cook?
Chandler: Huh, I never looked at it like that. (Monica glares at Chandler) Sorry, I didn’t know you were being serious. I don’t think of you like that at all. I think of you as a loving wife and my best friend.
Monica: That’s so sweet.
Chandler: So are you gonna make dinner?
Monica: (getting up frustrated) You really know how to screw things up don’t you.
(Ross, Rachel and Ben enter. Ben is wearing a cast on his arm)
Ross: Hey guys.
Monica: (noticing Ben) Oh my God, what happened?
Ben: I fell off the monkey bars at the park.
Chandler: Are you ok champ?
Ben: Yeah, my Daddy and Mommy took me to the emergency room to see the doctor.
Chandler: Don’t you mean Auntie Rachel and your Dad?
Ben: No. Auntie Rachel’s my mommy too.
Rachel: (to Ross) Did you hear that? He called me Mommy.
Ross: (hugging Rachel) I heard sweetie and I think it’s great.
(Joey and Phoebe enter – holding hands)
Chandler: I see you guys made up.
Joey: We made up in the kitchen, the bathroom and the bedroom.
Phoebe: Joey!
Ross/Rachel/Monica/Chandler: Oh my God!
