      Central Perk, Ross is eyeing a beautiful woman at the counter, and Joey and Chandler are egging him on to go talk to her. No pun intended. I mean it.

    • joey
    • Joey
      I'm tellin' you Ross, she wants you.
    • ross
    • Ross
      She barely knows me. We just live in the same building.
    • chandler
    • Chandler
      Any contact?
    • ross
    • Ross
      She lent me an egg once.

    • Ross
      Hey. (stutters something incoherent)
    • chandler
    • Chandler
      Come on, Ross, you gotta get back in the game here, ok? The Rachel thing's not happening, your ex-wife is a lesbian-I don't think we need a third...
    • joey
    • Joey
      Excuse me, could we get an egg over here, still in the shell? Thanks.
    • ross
    • Ross
      An egg?
    • joey
    • Joey
      Yeah, you're gonna go up to her and say, "Here's your egg back, I'm returning your egg."
    • chandler
    • Chandler
      I think it's winning.
    • ross
    • Ross
      I think it's insane.
    • chandler
    • Chandler
      She'll love it. Go with the egg, my friend.
    • (Ross walks over to the woman, egg in hand.)
    • joey

    • Chandler
      No, it's suicide. The man's got an egg.

      No! Phoebes! Don't you remember why you dumped the guy?
    • phoebe
    • Phoebe
      'Cause he was creepy, and mean, and a little frightening... alright, still, it's nice to have a date on Valentine's Day!
    • monica
    • Monica
      But Phoebe, you can go out with a creepy guy any night of the year. I know I do.
    • rachel
    • Rachel
      Well, what are you guys doing tomorrow night?
    • joey
    • Joey
      Actually, tomorrow night kinda depends on how tonight goes.
    • chandler
    • Chandler
      Oh, uh, listen, about tonight...
    • joey
    • Joey
      No, no, no, don't you dare bail on me. The only reason she's goin' out with me is because I said I could bring a friend for her friend.
    • chandler
    • Chandler
      Yes, I know, but her friend sounds like such a...
    • joey
    • Joey
      Pathetic mess? I know, but-come on, man, she's needy, she's vulnerable. I'm thinkin', cha-ching! (Rachel throws a roll at Joey. He picks it up and eats it.) Thanks. Look, you have not been out with a woman since Janice. You're doin' this.
    • ross
    • Ross
      Hi. She said yes.

    • Lorraine
      Hi, Joey. Well well, look what you brought. Very nice.
    • chandler
    • Chandler
      ...And what did you bring?
    • Lorraine

    • chandler
    • Chandler
      Janice?

    • monica
    • Monica
      Which one was Pete Carney?
    • rachel
    • Rachel
      Pete the Weeper? Remember that guy who used to cry every time we had sex. (imitating) "Was it good for you?"
    • monica
    • Monica
      Yeah, well, I'll take a little crying any day over Howard-the-"I-win"-guy. (imitating) "I win! I win!" I went out with the guy for two months-I didn't get to win once.
    • rachel
    • Rachel
      How did we end up with these jerks? We're good people!
    • monica

      Ok, well, what kind of ritual?
    • phoebe
    • Phoebe
      Ok. We can, um, we can burn the stuff they gave us.
    • rachel
    • Rachel
      Or?
    • phoebe
    • Phoebe
      Or...or we can chant and dance around naked, you know, with sticks.

      Good for you. (jumps suddenly) Uh, quarters or rolls of quarters?
    • Janice
      By the way, Chandler. I cut you out of all my pictures. So if you want, I have a bag with just your heads.
    • chandler
    • Chandler
      That's OK.
    • Janice
      Oh, are you sure? Really? Because you know, you could make little puppets out of them, and you could use them in your theater of cruelty.
    • (Lorraine whispers into Joey's ear.)
    • joey

    • Janice
      So, do we have the best friends or what?
    • chandler
    • Chandler
      Joey's not a friend. He's...a stupid man who left us his credit card. Another drink? Some dessert? A big screen TV?
    • Janice
      I will go for that drink.
    • chandler
    • Chandler
      You got it. Good woman! (the waiter turns around, it's a man) Could we get a bottle of your most overpriced champagne?

No no no, I know what you're gonna say, you're a lesbian. But what do you say we just put that aside for now you know? Let's just stick a pin in it, ok? Because, we're great together, you know. You can't deny it. Besides, you're carrying my baby. I mean, how perfect is that? But see, you know, you keep sayin' that, but there's somethin' right here. I love you.
