The One With The Mosquitoes


Written by: Sunny ©1999

Note: This script takes place a couple of episodes after TOW the Yeti, except instead of telling Ross that she wanted a divorce, Emily just hung up on him. I assume that everyone has found out about Monica and Chandler.

Disclaimer: These characters do not belong to me, but to Bright,
Kaufman and Crane.


SCENE: Central Perk, rainy day. RACHEL and PHOEBE are on the couch, MONICA and CHANDLER in the chair, ROSS and JOEY at the table. GUNTHER is pouring coffee for RACHEL. Everyone looks bored.

GUNTHER: Here's your coffee, Rachel.

RACHEL: Thanks. (Grabs a sugar packet, pours in coffee, gets up to throw the packet away)

GUNTHER: Let me get that, Rachel.

ROSS: Oh, could you take mine, too?

GUNTHER: (pauses) No thanks. (takes RACHEL's packet, turns around, kisses it, takes out a box

from under the counter with a heart on it marked 'Rachel' and adds the packet to an

overflowing pile of sugar packets, spoons, and napkins, etc.)

(ROSS looks confused)

CHANDLER: (sighing) Did anything interesting happen to anyone lately?

(Everyone shakes his or her head and sighs)

PHOEBE: Ooh! Ooh! I've got something!

(Everyone looks up)

PHOEBE: This morning I found a dime in my purse that I didn't know I had! Will that count?

(Everyone looks back down)

MONICA: What about you, Gunther? Did anything interesting happen around here?

GUNTHER: Well, today a guy came in, and he wanted half regular coffee and half decaf. But the

funny thing was, he wanted half and half in it, too!

 

(Everyone tries to find that interesting)

CHANDLER: (pauses) So, Pheebs, about that dime......

 

OPENING THEME~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

SCENE: MONICA and RACHEL's apartment, next morning. MONICA is in the shower, RACHEL and CHANDLER are at the table eating breakfast.

(ROSS walks in. He's wearing a t-shirt & shorts and his face, arms, and legs are

covered with red spots.)

ROSS: (in that sad 'Ross' trademark way) Hi.

CHANDLER: Hey, it's chicken pox with a Ross on them!

ROSS: Mosquitos are nesting in my building. Where's Monica. I need some lotion and a clean

towel.

CHANDLER: Why don't you just ask Rachel? She lives here, too.

 

ROSS: (sarcastically) Okay, I'll give that a try. Rachel, where are the clean towels?

RACHEL: (immediately) No clue.

ROSS: (immediately) Thanks. I'll just go ask Monica. (heads toward bathroom) Is she in here?

RACHEL: Oh, you don't wanna do that. She's in the--

CHANDLER: (softly, interrupting) Shh....let him go.

(ROSS walks into bathroom, MONICA screams and ROSS comes out of the

bathroom with lotion all over him)

RACHEL: (grinning) Well, you found the lotion.

(ROSS gives her a look)

(PHOEBE walks in, carrying a box full of diapers, baby toys, etc.)

PHOEBE: (excitedly) Guess what??!!

CHANDLER: You're having more babies for your brother?!

PHOEBE: Frank and Alice are gonna let me babysit the triplets!! Yay!

RACHEL: That's great, Pheebs!

 

(JOEY enters)

JOEY: Hey guys, what's up?

PHOEBE: I get to babysit Frank, Leslie, and Chandler!

JOEY: Why would Frank and Chandler need a babysitter?

PHOEBE: No, not Chandler! (gestures to CHANDLER) Chandler the girl!

JOEY: Ha, ha! Chandler's a girl! (looks around) I told ya!

PHOEBE: You and Chandler are married?

CHANDLER: (pauses, sarcastically) Yes. Didn't you know that? We eloped.

JOEY: Man, why are you talking about fruit? And you know I love cantaloupe. Dude, you're

making me hungry!

(CHANDLER gives JOEY a disturbing look)

PHOEBE: Guess what?

JOEY: What?

PHOEBE: Frank and Alice are gonna let me babysit the triplets!

JOEY: Wow! Can I help? Why didn't you tell me this before?

PHOEBE: I did!

JOEY: (pauses) Okay.

PHOEBE: So, you want to help?

JOEY: Yeah! Only I've never babysat before.

PHOEBE: Okay! Me either!

(MONICA comes out of bathroom in her robe, gives ROSS a mean look)

(for the first time PHOEBE and JOEY notice ROSS's mosquito bites and lotion)

JOEY: What happened to you?

RACHEL: He found the lotion.

ROSS: Mosquitos are nesting in my building.

(MONICA goes into her room)

JOEY: (to CHANDLER) Wanna watch cartoons?

CHANDLER: Looney Tunes?

JOEY: You bet!

PHOEBE: Okay, I'm gonna go get the triplets.

(JOEY sits on couch, CHANDLER sits on chair, ROSS sits at table with

RACHEL and pours himself cereal)

(phone rings, RACHEL answers)

RACHEL: Hello?

EMILY: (on other end) Hello, is this Rachel?

RACHEL: Yes, who is this? Oh my god! Is this Emily?

(ROSS looks up in surprise)

ROSS: It's Emily! Gimme the phone! (whispering) No, wait, I'm not supposed to be here. Tell

her to call my apartment.

RACHEL: Well, uh, hi, Emily. If you're looking for Ross, well, he, uh, isn't here, so, uh, why don't

I, uh, give you the number to, um, his apartment? (listens) Oh, yeah, um, it's--oh, you

have it? Okay, just try calling him there, uh, okay? Yeah, um, bye... (hangs up phone)

(ROSS gives RACHEL the thumbs-up sign, then runs out the door)

SCENE: ROSS's apartment. ROSS has just burst in the door, to find the phone ringing.

ROSS: (picks up phone) Hello?

EMILY: Ross?

ROSS: Emily! I'm so glad you called! I had to run all the way from--(realizes) my office. Take

some advice: Never bring a small dinosaur skeleton home, unless you wanna walk. It's

impossible to get a taxi with one of those babies in your hand. I guess it scares the driver.

Oh well, so, uh, um.....what's up?

EMILY: Ross, I'm in New York.

ROSS: So, what happened?

EMILY: Ross, I'm sorry. I was thinking awhile ago, about that whole not-seeing-Rachel thing,

and--

ROSS: (interrupting) And you agree that I can see Rachel again.

EMILY: No, of course not. That is definitely out of the question. I was just thinking. I can trust

you, Ross, and I'd really like to give it another try.

ROSS: So, I can't see Rachel now? (realizes) I mean, still?

EMILY: I'm sorry Ross, but if you want to give this marriage another try, there are some

consequences.

ROSS: Yeah, well, anyway, I'm going to a movie tonight with the guys, so if you wanna come--

EMILY: Thank you, but I have plans. How about I come over later, around 8?

ROSS: Okay, bye, sweetie. (hangs up)

(ROSS dances around, humming Zippity-do-dah for awhile, then realizes

that he can't see RACHEL anymore)

ROSS: Oh my god. Oh my god. (Janice style) Oh.....my.....god! What have I done?

 

COMMERCIAL BREAK~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

SCENE: MONICA and RACHEL's apartment. Same day. MONICA and CHANDLER in the

chair, JOEY on the couch. PHOEBE walks in, pushing a triple stroller with the triplets in

it.

PHOEBE: Hi!

(MONICA jumps up from CHANDLER's lap and starts playing with the babies)

PHOEBE: Frank Jr. Jr, Leslie, and Chandler, meet Monica, Joey, and Chandler. Little baby

handshakes!

MONICA: Oh, they're sooo cute! Chandler, look!

(CHANDLER and JOEY are sitting transfixed to the TV)

CHANDLER: (looks up momentarily) Oh, yeah, they're adorable. (looks back at TV)

MONICA: (emotionally) Oh, I just hope that my kids are as adorable as this. And when they get

older, the girls can learn how to vaacum, and the boys will be just like their dad.....

(dreamily glances over at CHANDLER)

CHAN&JOE: (singing theme song) Animaniacs! Dot is cute and Yakko yaks! Wakko packs away the

snacks while Bill Clinton plays the sax, they're Animaniacs! (etc.)

 

MONICA: (skeptically) Who will hopefully be a grown-up by then.

(PHOEBE pushes the stroller over to the couch and takes the triplets out of it,

starts unpacking the box of baby stuff)

MONICA: How do you tell them apart?

JOEY: I know! Take off their clothes.

MONICA: How is that going to help?

JOEY: You know, to tell between the boys and the girls.

MONICA: Oh, okay. But how do you tell Leslie and Chandler apart?

(RACHEL walks in)

RACHEL: Oh! It's the triplets! They're just adorable! So, Pheebs, how do you tell them apart?

JOEY: (quietly) Take off clothes.

MONICA: Enough with that, Joey.

PHOEBE: I dunno, you tell me! Frank and Alice didn't tell me how to tell them apart. But they did

tell me that Leslie is the one in the pink. And Frank is the one in the blue, and the other

one is Chandler.

(RACHEL, MONICA, and CHANDLER nod)

PHOEBE: Okay, girls! And guy. It's lunchtime!

RACHEL: So what do you feed them?

PHOEBE: Well, since they're so young, they have to drink breast milk.

MONICA: Thank goodness Ross isn't here.

CHANDLER: (nose scrunched up) So, whose, uh, milk is it?

PHOEBE: The babies'. (points at the triplets)'

RACHEL: I think what Chandler means is, um, who does the milk come from?

PHOEBE: Oh, it's mine.

CHANDLER: (disgusted) Eww! (pause) Sorry, Pheebs, nothing personal.

(PHOEBE turns her back to the camera and starts feeding the babies)

CHANDLER: (thinking) You know what breast-feeding really is? Interactive porn for babies with

refreshments!

JOEY: They're so lucky!

(RACHEL and MONICA give JOEY annoyed looks)

 

COMMERCIAL BREAK~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

SCENE: Same day. ROSS, RACHEL, MONICA, and CHANDLER have just gotten back from

the movie, and are walking into ROSS's apartment.

RACH&MON: What a great movie!

CHANDLER: (exhausted) I had no idea that Shakespeare was in love *that* much!

ROSS: Yeah, talk about energy!

CHANDLER: Remember that part with Shakespeare, and then that guy behind us spilled pop all over

Monica? That was hilarious! (pauses, looks at MONICA) Sorry, honey. (kisses her

forehead)

MONICA: I don't see why you guys were laughing. It was so *not* funny! (stops, realizes that

she's just talked like CHANDLER, then covers her mouth)

(ROSS and RACHEL cover their mouths in unison)

RACHEL: (whispering) You, you just talked like Chandler!

MONICA: Oh my god! This couldn't *be* more weird!

ROSS: (giggling) You did it again!

MONICA: Okay. I have to get out of here. I'm gonna take a shower.

CHANDLER: Can I come?

MONICA: (playfully punches CHANDLER on the arm) Oh, you. (pause) (serious) Okay!

(MONICA and CHANDLER rush out of ROSS's apartment)

RACHEL: (raising eyebrows) Well, we won't see them for a couple of hours.

ROSS: Hey, that's my little sister! (covers his ears)

RACHEL: So, whatdya wanna do?

ROSS: Well, I've got a couple of hours 'til Emily gets here, so....(looks around, then pulls a

box off a shelf).....Scrabble?

(MONICA and CHANDLER run in, exhausted)

PHOEBE: What's with you guys?

MONICA: I'm gonna go take a shower. (exits)

CHANDLER: And I'm gonna go take a bath. (exits)

PHOEBE: So, how 'bout a bath?

JOEY: Okay, but don't you think we should discuss this first? You know, so that this won't

ruin our friendship, you know, if we break up.

PHOEBE: No, I mean, a bath for the babies.

JOEY: (doesn't get it) Oh. (pause) (gets it) Ohhh!

 

SCENE: MONICA and RACHEL's bathroom. Triplets are in the bubble-filled bathtub. PHOEBE

is taking toys out of a box, JOEY is playing with triplets.

JOEY: Hey, is that Baywatch Barbie? (excited) I've been wanting one of these for months!

(picks up doll, starts moving its legs) See! She's running! You guys are so lucky! You

can watch her run whenever you want. Hey, Pheebs, are there any more of those Barbies?

PHOEBE: Yeah, there's two more: a blond and a brunette.

JOEY: (grabs the Barbies) Hello, Yasmine, Nicole, and Pamela Lee! How *you* doin?

TIME LAPSE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

JOEY: (playing with Barbies) Oh, no! A drowning person! Save him! Run, Yasmine, run!

PHOEBE: Okay, I think it's time to take the babies out of the tub. They're starting to look like little

pink raisins!

JOEY: Oh, that reminds me! I haven't eaten since breakfast! Wanna order a pizza?

PHOEBE: Okay, but wait until after the triplets are ready for bed.

JOEY: Okay. So now do we put them into their pajamas?

PHOEBE: Yeah. They're right over there in that bag.

(JOEY gets pajamas)

JOEY: Okay, this blue one's Frank's, this yellow one says Chandler, and the pink one says

Leslie.

PHOEBE: Frank Jr. Jr's all ready. How about the others?

JOEY: Well, here's the yellow one. Which one's Chandler?

PHOEBE: Um...(mumbles something)

JOEY: What?

PHOEBE: Okay, okay! Enough with the 3rd degree!

(JOEY looks confused)

PHOEBE: I admit it! I don't know! I......don't know which one is which.

JOEY: Uh oh.

SCENE: ROSS's apartment. RACHEL and ROSS are playing Scrabble.

RACHEL: Okay, what's the score?

ROSS: Well, I've got 52 points, and you've got one hundred and fifty two points.

RACHEL: What's with you, Ross? I've never beaten you at Scrabble before.

ROSS: I dunno. Maybe it's the mosquitos. (slaps his neck) Gosh, here we go again!

RACHEL: (looks around) Ross, there aren't any mosquitos around right now. (pauses) Ross, are

you worried about Emily coming?

ROSS: No. Well, I don't know, maybe. I mean, she was so mad at me. And here I am, talking

to you. So I said your name. It didn't mean anything, right?

RACHEL: Right.... (looks into ROSS's eyes)

(ROSS and RACHEL kiss, then pull apart)

RACHEL: Uh, I, uh, gotta go. The mosquitos are, uh, getting to me. (slaps neck)

SHORT TIME LAPSE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(knock on door)

ROSS: (opening door) Hi, Emily!

EMILY: Hello, Ross. (looks around) This is a great apartment. (looks around again)

ROSS: Yeah. So, whatdya wanna do? Wanna play Scrabble? You'll beat me for sure. I lost a

game earlier today when I played with R--(stops)

EMILY: Who?!

ROSS: R-r-Richard. Yeah, Monica's going out with Dr. Richard Burke again!

EMILY: Oh, all right.

ROSS: I missed you.

EMILY: I missed you too.

(they hug)

EMILY: (noticing ROSS's bites) What happened to you?

ROSS: Mosquitos...so, how was your flight? When did you get here?

EMILY: Well, I got here yesterday morning, and the flight was all right.

SCENE: MONICA and RACHEL's apartment. MONICA and CHANDLER are cuddling in chair,

PHOEBE and JOEY are trying to tell the triplets apart.

PHOEBE: Maybe, you know, maybe they won't notice.

JOEY: Yeah. If we can't tell them apart, how can they?

(ROSS enters, out of breath)

ROSS: (frantically) Monica, you have to go out with Richard. You have to have lunch with him

or something.

CHANDLER: I don't wanna share!

MONICA: (gets up from CHANDLER's lap and walks toward ROSS) Okay, what's with all this

'Richard' stuff?

CHANDLER: Yeah, what's with all this 'Richard' stuff?

MONICA: And why do I have to go out with him?

CHANDLER: Why does she have to go out with him?

(MONICA gives CHANDLER a look)

ROSS: Well, Emily just came, and--

MONICA: Emily's here?! What about Rachel?

ROSS: Well, for now I'm thinking I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

JOEY: The Brooklyn Bridge? You don't wanna take a girl down there. Drowning and stuff, if

you know what I mean.

(the others stare at JOEY, bemused)

JOEY: What?

ROSS: So, anyway, Rach and I were playing scrabble earlier, and I was talking to Emily about

how she could beat me and everything, and I started to say 'Rach', but I knew I couldn't

say that, so the only other 'R' name I could think of was Richard. So now you have to go

out with him.

MONICA: Like, a real date? I mean, I can't tell him. He'll think I'm using him just for that.

CHANDLER: Well, you, you will be if you go out with him.

ROSS: Well, just have him come over when Emily's here, to pick you up for a 'date', and act

like you're going out. And, you can tell him it's just a 'friend'ly lunch.

MONICA: Okay, I guess.

CHANDLER: H-hey! What about me? The boyfriend? Huh?

MONICA: Don't worry, nothing's gonna happen. It'll just be one little meal.

CHANDLER: (pauses) Okay, but will you bring me back a doggy bag?

uh, a recognition for, uh, working here.

PHOEBE: (noticing ROSS and RACHEL) Yeah, let's go see their view! Ooh, yay!

JOEY: Pheebs, our view sucks. Let's check out Ross's place!

(to create a diversion, CHANDLER pushes MONICA's lamp off the table, but

Emily has already seen ROSS and RACHEL)

JOEY: See? Check out our awesome view of--

EMILY: (horrified) Is that RACHEL?! Well, I'm leaving. You can just tell Ross to marry her

Then. Goodbye! (stomps out the door)

(uncomfortable silence)

PHOEBE: Wow. Joey, Ross is gonna kill you!

(CHANDLER laughs)

PHOEBE: (points at CHANDLER) And Monica's gonna kill you, too, for breaking that lamp!

CHANDLER: Oh my god.

KATHY: I know. Chandler, I know it's been, what, a year now, and I've been with Nick since

then, you know, right after--

CHANDLER: I know.

KATHY: Anyway, I just have been thinking a lot lately, and I don't think I've loved anyone as

much as I love you.

CHANDLER: Love? As in still *in* love?

KATHY: I know, I know, it's been a long time, but do you think we could just give it another shot?

I mean, Chandler, you have to admit, we were great together.

CHANDLER: Yeah, I guess, but--but--but.....(thinks) there's something else, but I can't remember what

it was....(pause) (sort of happily) Oh well!

KATHY: I knew it. I knew it. I love you Chandler Bing!
