      Hey, that was an honest mistake!

    • Joey
      Right!(he starts to ape her)"Oh my God, is this the men's room? Oh, I feel so foolish, have you always known you wanted to be an actor?" (he inclines his head as if to look at a man's private parts)

      (in a strange voice and eating candies) The big apple!
    • chandler
    • Chandler
      I'm sorry, he's a little bit wound up, we had to stop at every maple candy stand on the way here.
    • ross
    • Ross
      Yeah, I ate all my gifts for everybody.
    • Receptionist
      I am sorry Mr. Bing, there's no record of your reservation in the computer.
    • chandler
    • Chandler
      Well, that's impossible, can you check again, please?
    • ross
    • Ross
      (high pitched voice) Check again please!
    • Receptionist
      I'm sorry, it's not here.
    • ross
    • Ross
      Not there.
    • chandler
    • Chandler
      Let me get this straight. I called yesterday trying to cancel my reservation and I was told it was not refundable, then we drove six hours all the way up here and now you tell me that we don't have a reservation?
    • Receptionist
      I don't know what to say.
    • ross
    • Ross
      (mumbling) She doesn't know what to say!
    • chandler
    • Chandler
      Just give us the cheapest room you have.
    • Receptionist
      Unfortunatly the only thing we have available is our deluxe suite, the rate is six hundred dollars.
    • chandler
    • Chandler
      That's insane!
    • ross
    • Ross
      Totally insane. Dude, let's drive home, we'll hit all the maple candy stores on the way back and if...if they're closed maybe we'll tap a tree and make some ourselves.
    • chandler
    • Chandler
      Does that room have a closet I can lock him in? (pause) We'll take it.
    • Receptionist
      Great.
    • chandler
    • Chandler
      (aside, to Ross) What!? They are totally ripping us off!
    • ross
    • Ross
      Dude, don't worry 'bout it! I know how we can make your money back! This is a nice hotel, you know, plenty of amenities, we just load up on those! Like those apples. Instead of taking one, I'm... I take six!
    • chandler
    • Chandler
      Great, at a hundred dollars an apple, we're there!
    • ross
    • Ross
      C'mon, you get the idea, ow-ow-ow we'll make our money back in no time!

      I can't believe you married him.

      But what choice did I have. He was keeping my sister in a dungeon!
    • Joey/Drake
      So what about us? Everything we feel for each other.
    • Rachel/actress
      It's over! You have to accept that.
    • Joey/Drake
      How can I? Knowing I'll never hold you in my arms again, or touch your skin, or feel your lips, knowing I'll never make love to you? How can I accept that... I can never kiss you again when it's all I can do not to kiss you right now.

Toothbrush, toothpaste, razor, mouthwash, deodorant, dental floss, band aids, shaving cream, after shave... and I feel like I am forgetting something... Is there anything else you have that I haven't asked for already? (pause) Yeah, go ahead, send up some tampons.

      Oh, that's not cool.
    • Chandlers
      Dude, none of this is cool.
    • ross
    • Ross
      No, Chandler, you have to find the line between stealing and taking what the hotel owes you. For example: hair drier, no, no, no, but shampoo and conditioners, yes, yes, yes. (pause) Now, the salt shaker is off-limits, but the salt (he opens the salt shaker and pours the salt into his hand) I wish I'd thought this through.

      I think I know what you mean though...the lamp is the hotel's, but the bulbs (goes to take the bulb)...oh, you already got that.

    • Monica
      Yeah.
    • rachel
    • Rachel
      Have you ever had any weird romantic dreams?
    • monica
    • Monica
      Let me think. Oh, when I was younger I used to dream that I got married to Mayor McCheese, and on our wedding night I ate his head.
    • rachel
    • Rachel
      Ok, well this is like that...in no way. I had a...I had a dream last night that I wanted to kiss Joey.
    • monica
    • Monica
      Wow, do you mean like kiss him-kiss him?
    • rachel
    • Rachel
      Oh yeah! I mean, that was pretty intense.
    • monica
    • Monica
      What do you think brought than on?
    • rachel
    • Rachel
      I don't know! I mean, maybe that's something to do with the fact that I saw him do a love scene yesterday.
    • monica
    • Monica
      A love scene? With who?
    • rachel
    • Rachel
      Olivia.

      Olivia? I thought she was marrying Connor! (pause) Oh right, real life more important.
    • rachel
    • Rachel
      So do you think that my dream means anything?
    • monica
    • Monica
      I don't know. I mean, you saw him do a love scene, so maybe you don't have a thing for Joey, maybe you have a thing for Drake.
    • rachel
    • Rachel
      Ah! Well it was Joey reading Drake's lines in the dream...
    • monica
    • Monica
      Of course it was! Trust me, when it comes to psychology I know what I'm talking about. I took two psych classes in college.

      Here, Monica, look what I got to wear when I play at the restaurant (she dons a top hat) uh, huh wait! (she raises a pair of spectacles to her eyes) Right? I mean, this might even class up the ballad of the uncircumcised man.
    • monica
    • Monica
      Oh...Phoebe? Maybe I wasn't clear before. I really love listening to your music here, but my restaurant is sort of an upscale place.
    • phoebe
    • Phoebe
      Right, yeah, ok, I'll ask the butler to fetch my diamonds out of the vault.
    • monica
    • Monica
      Phoebe, it's not what you wear. It's sort of your songs... I just don't think you should play at the restaurant anymore.
    • phoebe
    • Phoebe
      Oh, ok. Fine, I'll just, I'll take the hat back (she puts the hat in a bag and she crushes it angrily on the floor with her foot).

      Hey, so you guys, the funniest thing happened, at work...
    • phoebe

      My songs aren't good enough for your restaurant?
    • rachel
    • Rachel
      Ok, we're still on that.
    • monica
    • Monica
      I didn't say your songs were not good enough.
    • phoebe
    • Phoebe
      Then what's wrong with them? Would they not go with your tiny portions of pretentious food?
    • monica
    • Monica
      Tiny portions?
    • phoebe
    • Phoebe
      Yeah well, "excuse me, I ordered the smoked salmon appetizer, but (peering through her spectacles) I can't see it, I can't see it"!
    • monica
    • Monica
      Phoebe, it's not about quantity.
    • phoebe
    • Phoebe
      Well...it's not about quality.
    • monica
    • Monica
      Oh really, you want to talk about quality? Have you heard of a key? It's what some people sing in.
    • phoebe
    • Phoebe
      Well at least all my songs don't taste like garlic. Yeah, there are other ingredients Monica.
    • monica
    • Monica
      Ok, so that's what we're doing. You know, when I'm in the coffee house bopping along to one of your songs, I'm wearing ear plugs.
    • phoebe
    • Phoebe
      Ear plugs, or cloves of garlic?
    • monica
    • Monica
      You know what? I take back what I said before. You keep playing at the restaurant, because with your music driving people inside, my bar sales are going up like crazy.

      Oh, I didn't factor in the room tax.

    • Ross
      Oh dude, don't worry about it, I found an unattended maid's car. We're way ahead of the game.
    • (they make as if to go, but Ross notices something)

    • Ross
      Oh my god.

    • Chandler
      What?
    • ross
    • Ross
      There's something new in the bowl.
    • chandler
    • Chandler
      Look, we have enough, just walk away.
    • ross
    • Ross
      No, but I want...I want the pinecones!
    • chandler
    • Chandler
      There's a forest right outside.
    • ross
    • Ross
      It's not the same.
    • chandler
    • Chandler
      Ok, go quick!
    • (Ross starts stuffing pinecones in the suitcase. As the receptionist walks in, Chandler makes a bird's verse and Ross stops)
    • ross
    • Ross
      (to the receptionist) Thank you for a delightful stay.
    • (he picks up the suitcase, which falls open, revealing all the stuff they have taken from the hotel. The receptionist just looks at them.)

    • Ross
      Oh, my maple candy!

      In front of Monica's restaurant. Phoebe is playing

    • phoebe
    • Phoebe
      (singing) Food here at 'Javu'..will kill you..the food here at 'Javu' ...will kill you..
    • (Monica comes out)
    • monica
    • Monica
      Thank god, it's just you! I thought someone was swinging a bag of cats against the wall.
    • phoebe
    • Phoebe
      You'd better get back in that kitchen Monica, the garlic is not gonna overuse itself.
    • monica
    • Monica
      Ok, you have to stop playing now.
    • phoebe
    • Phoebe
      Why? The only person my playing is bothering is you!
    • monica
    • Monica
      Oh yeah? Ok, let's settle this, come on!
    • phoebe
    • Phoebe
      (while Monica drags her in the restaurant) Get your garlic-peelers off me!
    • monica
    • Monica
      (to the restuarant customers) Excuse me, excuse me, hi, I'm Monica Geller..I'm the head chef here.. (pauses as if waiting for something).. Ok, I was actually expecting a little applause there, but whatever! Ok, quick question: by a show of hands, how many of you were bothered by this woman's singing outside? (a few people raise their hands)
    • phoebe
    • Phoebe
      Ok, ok, how many of you enjoyed the music outside? (a few people raise their hands) Ha!
    • monica
    • Monica
      Alright, let me ask you this question: How many of you thought the music was fine, but not in keeping with the tone of the restaurant? (a few raise their hands again).
    • phoebe
    • Phoebe
      Ok, well, who identified the tone of this restaurant as pretentious comma garlicky?
    • monica
    • Monica
      Ok who thinks the food is delicious and a little pretention never hurt anyone? (a few raise their hands)
    • phoebe
    • Phoebe
      Ok, well, alright, who thinks the food is fine, the music was fine, but your evening was ruined by this incessant poll taking? (all raise their hands).
    • monica
    • Monica
      Excuse us! (then to Phoebe) Alright here's a question: Who was so worried about her restaurant being fancy that she made a big deal about her friend playing her music and feels really bad about it now? (raises her hand)
    • phoebe
    • Phoebe
      Oh...Who was so stupid and stubborn that she lashed out against her friend's cooking which she actually thinks is pretty great! (raises her hand)
    • monica
    • Monica
      I'm sorry...
    • phoebe
    • Phoebe
      I'm sorry too... (they hug)
    • monica
    • Monica
      ooohh... hey! Wanna stick around and I'll whip you up some dinner?
    • phoebe
    • Phoebe
      Yeah! As long as it's free! Food here is ridiculously over-p...
    • (Monica seems to take it amiss)
    • phoebe
    • Phoebe
      (smiling, raising her hand) Who's hoping the hand raising thing is still cute enough that you won't hate me?

      Joey and Rachel's apartment, Rachel walks in

    • rachel
    • Rachel
      Hey!
    • joey
    • Joey
      Hey!
    • rachel
    • Rachel
      Joey, do you have peanut butter on the back of your head?
    • joey
    • Joey
      (Touches the back of his head and licks his fingers) Oh man! I thought I got it all!
    • rachel
    • Rachel
      (looks puzzled) How...how...?
    • joey
    • Joey
      I was making a peanut butter smoothy, right?
    • rachel
    • Rachel
      uh-huh
    • joey
    • Joey
      And I couldn't find this little plastic thing (holds up plastic thing) that goes on top of the blender...and I thought...well... how important can that be, right...? Turns out very!
    • rachel
    • Rachel
      (to herself) Wow...definitely just Drake...
    • joey
    • Joey
      What?
    • rachel
    • Rachel
      What...how is it going with Drake?
    • joey
    • Joey
      Oh...I don't think it's going very well...
    • rachel
    • Rachel
      What...that scene I saw was so good!
    • joey
    • Joey
      Well, I'm feeling really insecure about the one we are shooting tomorrow...
    • rachel
    • Rachel
      Joey, is this that thing that you do when you say you're bad so I'll give you a compliment?
    • joey
    • Joey
      A little. Yeah no, I really am worried, you know, I mean I have to make it convincing that I'm in love with Olivia.
    • rachel
    • Rachel
      So?
    • joey
    • Joey
      So...I've never played that!
    • rachel
    • Rachel
      Ooh! Honey, it can't be that hard, I mean, you've been in love before?
    • joey
    • Joey
      Uh...well...just once...with you...
    • rachel
    • Rachel
      Ok...this could be a little awkward...I'm just going to blow past it... well can't you just use that method actor thing where you use your real life memories to help you in your performance?
    • joey
    • Joey
      (looks at her for a moment) What the hell are you talking about??
    • rachel
    • Rachel
      (shakes her head) Alright, alright look, just uh... just try to remember how you felt when you were in love, and think about that when you're playing the scene.
    • joey
    • Joey
      (approvingly) Oh! ok, yeah, I think I can do that. Yeah ok, there's this party scene coming up.. and Olivia and her husband are there and all Drake wants to do is grab her and kiss her, but he can't... And that makes me think about all those times when I wanted to grab you and kiss you, but you didn't know so I would just pretend everything was cool, but really, it was killing me.
    • rachel
    • Rachel
      (looks touched) Joey, you never..you never talked about that before...
    • joey
    • Joey
      Well.. hey, you know what else I could use? There's a scene where Drake sneaks into Olivia's bedroom, and she doesn't know he's there - which never happened with us! And he knows he shouldn't be there, but he just wants to look at her... you know? (In a romantic voice) And I remember all those mornings before you even put on your make-up, when I would think to myself, my God, she...is... beautiful... (Rachel looks very moved) and it hurts so much, cuz I knew I could never tell you (pauses, while looking at her with sentiment) but it was worth it just to be there looking at you.
    • (Joey and Rachel continue to look at each other in silence for a while)
    • joey
    • Joey
      (excited) Thanks dude!!!This is GREAT!! (leaves Rachel very touched on the couch and goes into his room)
