Hey Joey, how'd the audition go?

Everyone
Who?
Joey
All right. I'll give you one hint. Warren Beatty.
Everyone
Wow!
Joey
Yeah, there's just one thing that might be kind've a problem. See, I, uh, had to kiss this guy.
Chandler
'Cause he was just so darn cute.
Joey
No, as part of the audition. See, I'm up for this part of this guy, who the main guy kisses.
Ross
Well, hey. You're an actor, I say you just suck it up and do it. (Rachel looks at him in disbelief) Or you just do it.
Joey
I did do it, I'm a professional.
Monica
Then what's the problem?
Joey
See after the scene, Mr. Beatty comes up to me and says 'good actor, bad kisser'. Can you believe that, me not a good kisser, that's like, like Mother Theresa, not a good mother.
Phoebe
Well, come on, who cares what that guy thinks. What does Warren Beatty know about kissing (Chandler and Monica, give her a look that says 'think about it') Ooh.

Chandler
Hey, what did your agent say?
Joey
Yep, this kiss thing is defiantly a problem, Mr. Beatty wants to see it again on Monday. Man, I gotta figure out what I'm doing wrong. Oh, okay, one of you girls come over here and kiss me.
Monica
What, forget it!
Rachel
Yeah, right.
Joey
Come on, I need your help here.
Phoebe
All right. I'll do it, I kissed him before I can do it again.
Joey
You see this, this is a friend.
Phoebe
Uh-huh, let's go. (they move in to kiss) Oh, wait I have gum. Okay. (they kiss rather passionately) Good, very good, firm but tender. I'd recommend you to a friend.
Joey
Then I don't know what it is. What's the problem?
Monica
Joey, you know, maybe your just not used to kissing men, maybe you just tensed up a little, maybe that's what you need to work on.
Joey
Yeah, that makes sense. (looks at Ross)

Okay, so, uh, we're in France, we're making the toast. Do you see a little bassinet in the corner?
Richard
Like a hound?
Monica
Not a basset, a bassinet.
Richard
You really need the bassinet?
Monica
Well, I just think the baby would keep falling off the dog. Do you, uh, do you , do you not see kids in our future.
Richard
Oh, hey. I love children, I have children. I just don't want to be 70 when our kids go off to college, and our lives can finally start.
Monica
Uh-huh.
Richard

What, (to Barry) you hired the same band I can't use the same speech. (gets a 'da-doom-chesh' from the drummer) Thank you, thank you very much. Anyway, I wish you both a wonderful life together. And Rachel...
Rachel
What.
Best Man
No, no, no now in all seriousness, its not a lot of women would've had the guts to come back here tonight, and even fewer, who would do it with their asses hanging out! (da-doom-chesh)
Ross
(standing up) Uh, I like to, uh, to add something to that...
Rachel
Why are you adding, why are you adding, why are you adding, why are you adding?
Ross
Most of you don't know me, I'm Rachel's boyfriend.
Rachel
Oh dear God.
Ross
Ross, uh and uh, I'd just like to say that it did take a lot of courage for Rachel to come here tonight. And, uh, for the record she did not run out on Barry because she had syphilis. (da-doom-chesh) (to drummer) What are you doing I'm serious. Uh, the reason she walked out on, on Barry is simply that she didn't love him, which incidentally worked out pretty well for me (looks for the da-doom-chesh, and doesn't get one) Cheers.
Rachel
(to Ross) She you in the parking lot.
Ross
(runs after her) No, Rach!
Barry
And once again she is out of here. Okay who had 9:45? Um?
Rachel
(after a pause with everyone staring at her, she goes up to the microphone) Ya, know what Barr, I'm not gonna leave. I probably should, but I'm not, see 'cause I promised myself that I would make it through at least *one* of your weddings (da-doom-chesh). See now, tonight, all I
really wanted was to make it though this evening with a little bit of grace and dignity. Well (laughing), I guess we can all agree that's not gonna happen. There's nothing really left to say except....(starts singing) "Her name was Lola. She was a showgirl. With yellow feathers (band joins in), feathers in her hair, and a dress cut down to there. She would..."
Ross
Marenge,
Rachel
(singing) "...marenge, thank you honey, and do the cha-cha. And while she like to be a star, Tony always tended bar. At the, wait, wait, everybody.."
