Salesman: Hello, I was just wandering have you ever thought of soundproofing your apartment.
Phoe: What?!
Salesman: Well I heard your voice from downstairs and I wanted to die. It was terrible. [Phoebe starts to look angry.] I was nearly strangling my self It was just so.
Phoe: Ok! [Very angry.]

[Monica and Rachels apartment. Phoebe, Rachel and Monica are there.]
Rach: Can I talk to you guys for a minute?
Mon: Yeah, ok.
Phoe: Give me a Y, give me an E, give me an S, what have you got YYYEEESSS!

I was also upset because Danny has a new girlfriend. Well we um kinda got really drunk and well, (Looks really uncomfortable.) when I woke up this morning he was there.
[Monica gasps and Phoebe looks as if she is really clever.]
Phoe: Um Rachel it sounds like you slept with him.
Rach: (Rachel glares at Phoebe.) I know that! I Wanted you to tell me what to do, so, what should I do?
[Cut to Chandler, Joeys and Ross apartment. Ross is there telling Joey an Chandler about Rachel and the night before.]
Joey: Get back together with her!

Chan: Then go for it!
[Monica and Rachels apartment. Monica and Phoebe are still talking to Rachel.]
Mon: Come on Rach go for it. Go on march out there and see if he wants to get back together with you.
[The hall in between the apartments. Ross and Rachel have just come out of each apartment. They spot each other and are very uncomfortable.]
Rach: Hi!
Ross: Hi!
Rach&Ross: I think we need to talk!
Ross: Ok you wanna go first.
Rach: Um ok. What happened with us? I mean do you want to get back together?
Ross: Do you?
Rach: I asked you first!
Ross: Well Ok yes, I guess I do. (Pause.) Do you?
Rach: Yeah, but if were going to fight a lot again I think we should just be friends.
Ross: Well then I guess the big question is do you forgive me?
[Meanwhile, In Monica and Rachels apartment. Phoebe is looking through the peephole.]
Mon: Phoebe! Its My turn, let me have a look
[Back to the hall Ross and Rachel are still talking.]
Rach: Ross Im sorry, but, I cant forgive you for what you did, but I would love to get back together
Ross: I would to, but, (Getting angry.) if your going to make me take responsibility of the whole relationship again, then forget it.
Rach: (Trying to calm down the situation.) I wouldnt do that. Look, we could start again, from square one.
Ross: (Angrily.) What? Through away everything we had? Im not going to do that!
Rach: (Getting angry.) Ok then maybe theres no point in us getting back together, and we should really think of what we want!
Ross: (angrily) Fine!
[They both turn around and start to go into their apartments, they stop, turn around and realise that they are still in love with each other. Ross goes over to Rachel and they start kissing. Ross stops.]
Ross: I know what I want Rach, (pause) I want you.
Rach: (touched) I want you to. But I think we need to talk about this.
Ross: Ok Ill come around later, when no one is in, ok?

Rach: Hey you.
Ross: Ok, do you wanna talk first, again.
Rach: Ok, um First I need you to understand that after what weve been through its gonna be hard to just go back to what we were like before and secondly I still dont know if I can forgive you.
Ross: Ok I can accept that, as long as you can accept that I wont take responsibility for the whole relationship
Rach: Ok, but I need to learn to trust you. So you wanna get back together?
