      Treeger's snaking the shower drain.
    • Mr. Treeger
      What in the name of hell?
    • joey
    • Joey

    • chandler
    • Chandler
      Do we pay for this?
    • joey
    • Joey
      No, we didn't even pay our cable bill-maybe this is how they punish us.
    • chandler
    • Chandler
      Maybe we shouldn't pay our phone bill-free phone sex.
    • joey
    • Joey
      Maybe we shouldn't pay our gas bill? (Stops and thinks about what he just said.)
    • Mr. Treeger
      (coming in from the bathroom) Whoa, hey, that lady's all kinds of naked.
    • chandler
    • Chandler
      Yeah, Joey just pressed something on the remote and it just, came on!
    • Mr. Treeger
      Yeah, it happened to me once. I was just flipping through the channels and bam! It was like finding money.
    • chandler
    • Chandler
      Like finding money with naked people on it!

      Yeah, so no one touches the remote. And no one touches the TV!
    • chandler
    • Chandler
      And no one touches the air around the TV!

      Hey, cheer up! You're gonna see her again, right?
    • ross
    • Ross
      Well I, that's the thing, I don't know! I mean, whenever I brought it up with her she said, (In a British accent.) "This is so fantastic! Why do we have to talk about the future? Let's just enjoy..."
    • monica
    • Monica
      (interrupting him) No-no-no, don't-don't do the accent. You've got to see her again.

    • ross
    • Ross
      You had fantasies about Emily?
    • monica
    • Monica
      No! Y'know, the fantasy! Meet someone from a strange land, fall in madly love, and spend the rest of your lives together.

    • monica
    • Monica
      Ohhh, I knew you loved her! Then you need to go to the airport and tell her. You're probably just gonna catch her just as she's about to go to the gate. You're gonna call out her name and say, "I love you!" And she's gonna say, "I love you, too!" And you guys are going to have the most amazing kiss, everyone at the gate will applaud.
    • ross
    • Ross

    • phoebe

      It is not over because she is going to call you and tell you she loves you. And the reason why she couldn't, is because her feelings were so strong, it scared her.

      Okay. You know how people need transportation, but they also need massages to help them relax so I just figured we could combine the two, okay, I give the massages and Frank drives! I can fix up the van, bolt the table in the back, and you know what I've got?
    • chandler
    • Chandler
      A place where no one will ever get out alive?
    • phoebe
    • Phoebe
      No! Think about it, it's a taxi that people take when they need to relax, it's...
    • rachel
    • Rachel
      (interrupting) Relaxi-Taxi!
    • phoebe
    • Phoebe
      The name was my favourite part!
    • rachel
    • Rachel
      Well, well I can up with it!
    • phoebe
    • Phoebe
      YOU DID NOT!!!! Oh! No! You came up with Relaxi Cab! That's not good.
    • rachel
    • Rachel
      Well, I...
    • (The phone rings and Monica answers it.)
    • monica
    • Monica
      Hello.
    • ross
    • Ross
      (on phone) Hey.
    • monica
    • Monica
      Oh my God! Ross, are you in England? Was Emily surprised?
    • [Cut to Ross in one of those British phone booths.]
    • ross
    • Ross
      No, because she hasn't come home yet. And she hasn't been home all night! She's obviously staying with that other guy, and I'm the stupid moron who spent the whole night outside her apartment!
    • monica
    • Monica
      All right. When is, when is the next flight out?
    • ross
    • Ross
      About four hours.
    • monica
    • Monica
      Okay, just stay there a couple more hours and if she doesn't show up by then, then just come on home.
    • phoebe
    • Phoebe
      Hey, tell him about Relaxi-Taxi, and-and ask him if he thinks that's better than Relaxi Cab.
    • rachel
    • Rachel
      Okay, it's not Relaxi Cab. It's Relaxicab, like taxicab.
    • phoebe
    • Phoebe
      Oh, that is better.

      Monica and Rachel's erm, Chandler and Joey's, later that same night. There is a knock on the door and Chandler answers it to reveal Emily standing behind it.

    • chandler
    • Chandler
      Are we in London?
    • monica
    • Monica
      What are you doing here? You can't be here!
    • Emily
      I've uh, I've come to talk to Ross.
    • (She sets her bag down on the foosball table and Joey sees the Toblerone bar sticking out of it and gazes longingly at it.)
    • Emily
      What?
    • joey
    • Joey
      (pause) Nothing. No, nothing.
    • Emily
      I was going to call him, but...
    • monica
    • Monica
      Oh, you came to tell him you love him! I knew it! (Points at Chandler) I was right! (Points to Emily) I'm right, right?
    • Emily
      I'd really rather talk to him.
    • monica
    • Monica
      Oh.
    • Emily
      I uh, I've been to his apartment and he wasn't there, and uh. I need to talk to him, so do you have any idea where he is?
    • [Cut to London, we sit Ross sitting outside Emily's apartment. We hear Emily's phone ring with amazing clarity. Apparently, sound travels quite easily through the walls of British buildings. Anyhoo, Ross looks around for the ringing phone and in the meantime Emily's answering machine picks up and once again with amazing clarity we hear Emily say...]
    • Emily
      Ross, are you there? Ross, I don't know if you can hear this but... (Ross has moved to the window, apparently so that he can hear better.) I'm gonna talk anyway, uh, I'm in the States with you sister and your friends and it's all over with Colin. I came here to tell you that, and to tell you-Yes, Joey you can have all the chocolate you want, just take it! Uh, I came here to tell you that I love you.
    • ross
    • Ross
      (yelling, thinking Emily can hear him through the answering machine all the way to New York.) I love you too! I'm, I'm gonna call you right now from the phone booth! (Realises) You can't hear me. (Goes to make his call.)
    • Emily
      I wish I could know if you'd heard any of that. I suppose I've either just told you I love you or given my neighbours a good laugh. Mrs. Newman if you're listening, bugger off this in none of your business. I suppose there's not much chance you did heard that, and there's the call waiting so, I should go. Oh well. (Answers the call waiting.) Hello.
    • ross
    • Ross
      Hi.
    • Emily
      Ross, I love you!
    • ross
    • Ross
      Ohh! Thank you.
