Oh, okay.

I've kinda of had this ah, this crush on you. (Rachel is shocked) But since you were with Ross, I-I didn't do anything about it. But, now that you're not, I'd really like to ask you out sometime. So-so that's-that's what I'm doing, now.
(Gunther gets this hurt expression on his face and goes into the back room)

Pete
...so y'know, that's why, within a few years, that voice recognition is gonna be pretty much standard on any computer you buy. Y'know, so you could be like-like, 'Wash my car.' 'Clean my room.' It's not gonna be able to do any of those things, but it'll understand what you're saying.
monica
Monica
Oh, this is so great.
Pete
Yeah, it was.

All right then. (He leans in to kiss her goodnight, but she quickly kisses him on the cheek and pats his shoulder.) Bye.

Oh, forget about it. She rocks!
Kate
Where do I know you from?
joey
Joey
Dr. Drake Remoray. Days of Our Lives. Voted most datable neurosurgeon by Teen Beat.

That info-mercial! For the milk carton spout thing! You're-you're-you're the guy that doesn't know how to pour milk!!

phoebe
Phoebe
Huh.
(Gunther tries to swoop in to ask Rachel out.)
rachel
Rachel
I mean I think I'd say no to anybody right now. (Hearing this Gunther swoops back to cleaning tables.) Oh, but it was so strange. I mean I'm standing there with this charming, cute guy, who's asking me to go out with him, which I'm allowed to do, and I felt guilty. Y'know, like I'd be cheating on Ross or something.
phoebe
Phoebe
Wow. So, okay, maybe that means that, you're not over Ross yet and you have issues with your father.

Ross
Oh-oh, okay, okay! (He quickly takes off his sweater in order to put on the T-shirt. It's an old 'Frankie says relax' T-shirt, that barely fits him. Rachel nods her head in approval of the new look.)

Look, is there something wrong with me? I mean why am I only attracted to guys where there's no future?

I so wanna be attracted to you.
Pete
But you're not. Okay, good.

monica
Monica
It's not?
Pete
I know I'm no John Bon Jovi, (Monica laughs) or someone who find attractive, I'm just, I think, y'know, that you might end up feeling differently.
monica
Monica
Well, um, look I-I don't want this to come our wrong, but ah, you seem awfully confident for a guy I just told I wasn't attracted too.
Pete
Yeah, stupidly charming isn't' it? Well listen let's, you wanna get something to eat? 'Cause this place is kinda depressing. (they start to leave)
