(OPENING CREDITS)

.............................................................................................

(SCENE : Outside the church, Ross and Emily are talking.)

ROSS : I don't know why I said Rachel. I'm just really confused.

EMILY: (angry) How nice of you in the middle of our wedding ceremony telling me your confused.

ROSS: I know, I'm sorry.

EMILY: (still angry)What?? The only thing you can say is sorry! You embarrassed me in front of all my friends and family. (calming down) Do you still love her?


ROSS: No....I don't know... I love you.

EMILY: That doesn't matter if you love her more than me. Do you love her more than me?

ROSS: (lying) No.

EMILY: Oh please Ross, for once just be honest with me.

ROSS: (sighing) Yes, I love her. The truth is that I'll always love her, I just don't think that she loves me.

EMILY: Look Ross, I think you and I decided to get married too early. I don't think we love each other- we barely even know one another. In your heart I know that you imagined you were marrying Rachel, not me.

ROSS: Your right. God how are you always so right?

EMILY: It's just a gift. Ross, we should go tell everyone the Wedding is off. Then we should be apart for awhile .

ROSS: (upset , but relieved) Okay, but can we still be friends.

EMILY: (thinks) Yes, but only if Joey will stop stealing my Toblerone bars.


(END OF SCENE)
....................................................................................................
(Scene: Inside the church . Joey is on the phone to Phoebe.)

JOEY: Ross and Emily still haven't come back.

PHOEBE: Oh okay.(quickly changes the subject) So what is Buckingham Palace like?

JOEY: Oh it's okay, but I didn't get to say hello to the queen.

PHOEBE: Joey honey, I don't think the queen would come down and say hello to you.

JOEY: (disappointed) WHAT?

(Ross and Emily enter and tell everyone that the wedding is off )

JOEY: (to phoebe) Hey Pheebs, did you hear that. Ross & Emily's wedding is off. And they are breaking up.

PHOEBE: Oh poor Ross. But I didn't think they said they are breaking up.

JOEY: Yeah I know, but it is so predictable. In a couple of days... (Felicity walks past him) Wait Phoebe I've gotta go . (he hangs up on Phoebe and follows Felicity).

PHOEBE: Joey ?Joey.........

(END OF SCENE)

.......................................................................
(SCENE: Monica and Rachel's hotel room the next day)

MONICA: ( to Chandler) Hey.

CHANDLER: Hey, I can't believe Ross and Emily aren't getting married.

MONICA: Yeh, I mean they seemed so happy.

CHANDLER: Well, except when they saw the church getting demolished, and how the parents were fighting, and him saying Rachel's name and........

MONICA: Okay , I get the point. So what do you want to do?

CHANDLER: (smiles) Ohh. I've got a few ideas. Like what we did 5 times last yesterday. And 7 times the day before.

(they are about to kiss each other , but Ross walks in.)

ROSS: Hey you guys.

MONICA: (annoyed) Oh Ross.... Hi, how are you?

ROSS: Oh , I'm okay. I know this sounds rude , but I don't feel bad at all. I'm actually relieved that I didn't get married.

CHANDLER: What, why?

ROSS: Well , I think Emily and I are better off as friends . And also...

(Rachel walks in , but Ross doesn't notice )

ROSS: I still love Rachel.

(Chandler, Monica and Rachel are all shocked)

RACHEL: Um, hi Ross.

ROSS: (shocked) Rach! (calmer) Can we talk?

(he walks over to her, and Monica and Chandler look at each other awkwardly and walk out of the room)

RACHEL: (happy) Yeh, I heard what you said , do you really love me?

ROSS: Yes. But do you?

(there is a long silence)

RACHEL: Yes. I have been thinking about it and I want to spend the rest of my life with you Ross. That is why I came to London. I wanted to tell you I loved you. How come you never said anything to me?

ROSS: Well, I figured that you wouldn't feel the same way. So I got really serious with Emily sort of to get on with life. But I love you.

RACHEL: I love you too gel-boy. Whatever problems we have , we will have to work out. Us being together is too good to throw away. And....... we WERE on a break.

(they both smile, and then Ross kisses Rachel passionately.)

(END OF SCENE)
...............................................................................
( Scene: Joey and Chandler's hotel room , Joey is there packing and Monica and Chandler have just walked in.)

CHANDLER: Hey Joe.

JOEY: Hi. So Chandler, you and Monica have seen alot of each other lately.

CHANDLER: Yeh maybe too much.

MONICA: (angry) What is that suppose to mean?

CHANDLER: (defensively) Um that came out wrong.

MONICA: (sarcastic) Yeah, right.

CHANDLER: Why are you getting so upset? I was kidding.

MONICA: No, your right. We are only friends so it doesn't matter.

(she walks out, leaving Chandler annoyed and Joey puzzled).

JOEY: Geez, what was that all about?

CHANDLER: I don't know. You know Monica.

JOEY & CHANDLER: She's turning into her mother.

( Ross and Rachel walk in holding hands)

JOEY: Well, look at you two all happy. What about Emily?

ROSS: I decided I wanted to be with Rachel. Emily helped me realise this.

( Ross and Rachel smile at each other)

JOEY: Realise what?

( they all glare at Joey)

(END OF SCENE)

............................................................................
(SCENE : The Plane on the way back to New York. Rachel is sitting near the window
next to Ross. Monica is sitting next to Joey and Chandler is sitting next to an old woman.)

( In their minds)
RACHEL: I can't believe I'm with Ross again. God Emily is dumb for letting him go. What a bitch .

ROSS: Rachel smells so good. I wonder if it is orange juice.

MONICA: I can't believe Chandler sometimes. Oh, did I remember to put all my cups in numeral order before I left. ( she starts getting worried).

CHANDLER : It was so weird what I did with Monica , I'll never be able to look her in the eye. ( sees a cute flight attendant).
Wow, who is she. I have the sudden urge to order a drink.

JOEY: I wonder if Phoebe was right about that Queen thing..........Nah!
