Rachel
Hi, Pheebs? Okay, so just spoke to the nurse and the reason that your doctor is late is because uh, she's not coming.

Apparently she fell in the shower and hit her head.
Phoebe
Oh my God, she's so stupid!
Ross
Look, Pheebs-Pheebs, it's gonna be okay.
Phoebe
That's easy for you to say, I don't see three kids coming out your vagina!

Everyone
Hey!
Frank
(To Phoebe) Hey! Am I late? Am I late? Nobody came out yet, right?
Phoebe
No-no-no! We haven't started yet. Where's Alice?
Frank
Uh, Delaware. She's on her way though, so until she gets here, I'm gonna be your coach. But don't worry, she told me all about the la-Mazada stuff.
Chandler
Yeah, that's when if you get the babies out by the end of the month, they give you 2% financing.
Frank
Yeah.

They're male nurses.
Joey
Not in my head.
Rachel
Anyway, they want to take us out Saturday night! What do you say?
Monica
Umm. (Looks at Chandler who is using the phone.) Umm. Umm. I don't think so.
Rachel
What? What are you talking about?! You-you're the one who's been telling me to get over Ross and move on. I'm moving on, and you're moving on with me. Come on, give me one good reason why you don't wanna go.
Monica
Umm, why don't you give me something that would be a good reason and-and then I'll tell you if it's true.
Rachel
What?
Monica
Harder than it sounds. Isn't it?
Rachel
Okay, you're coming with me, and I also told them that if we're still here when they get off that we'll go down to the cafeteria and have some Jell-O with them.
Joey
(in a sexy voice) Yep! There's always room for Jell-O...

Okay, now girl baby turn away and boy babies... (Throws the paper away to reveal a copy of Playpen, which is the TV version of Playboy Magazine.) Check it out, huh?! This is what naked women looked like the month you were born. All right, now let's dive right into the good stuff. (Joey opens the magazine and Ross sticks the camera in it.)

So they're going on dates? When?
Joey
I think Saturday-(groans in pain again).

Hey.
Dr. Harad
Let's see what we got here. Ohh, y'know, Fonzie dated triplets.

This-this Fonzie person you keep referring too, is that uh, is that another doctor?

Oh no-no-no. Fonzie is the nickname of Arthur Fonzerelli. The Fonz.
Chandler
All right.
(Dr. Harad exits.)
Frank
It's not that weird, is it?
Phoebe
It's very weird! I don't want some guy down there telling me, I'm y'know, dilatedamundo!
Ross
To be fair, he doesn't seem to be impersonating Fonzie...
Phoebe
(interrupting) What are you doing?!! Why are you defending him?! Just get me another doctor! One who is not crazy and who is not Fonzie!

Monica
Umm, actually I was about to tell you that I was, I was going to get out of it, but hey, if we're just goofing around then uh, maybe I will go out with him.
Chandler
Fine! Maybe I will too!
Joey
(entering from the elevator caring gifts for the kids) Hey, you guys! Look what I found in the giiiiiiift shop. (He doubles over in pain in front an old man in a wheel chair.) Get up! Get up! Get up! (The old man waves him away.)

Dr. Oberman
Umm, I'm actually a first year resident, but I get that a lot, you see, I-I graduated early...
Phoebe
(interrupting) Uh-huh, me too. Ross, maybe I should've specified that I'd be needing a grown up doctor.
Dr. Oberman
Oh no, I'm fully qualified to...
Phoebe
Shh! Doogie, shh! Doesn't anybody understand that I'm gonna be having babies soon? Huh? Go! Go little boy, go!

Phoebe
Maybe not! Y'know? Seriously, three babies are a handful maybe they're y'know, looking for a chance to unload one of them. Listen, I-I hate to miss an opportunity just because I didn't ask! Y'know?
Rachel
Phoebe, no! This is, this is insane.
Phoebe
Oh, just ask him!
Rachel
Me?!
Phoebe
I can't ask him! Do you have any idea how inappropriate that would be?! All I'm saying is just talk to Frank. Okay? Just, y'know, feel him out!

Ross
(entering) Hey! I just heard. What's up?
Joey's Doctor
Kidney stones! Now, ordinarily Mr. Tribbiani, we try to break up the stones up with shock waves, but they're to close to the bladder now. Which means we can either wait for you to pass them or else go up the urethra...
Joey
(interrupting) Whoa-whoa! No-no-no-no-no, nothing is going up! Okay? Up, up is not an option-what's a urethra? (Monica whispers what it is in his ear.) Are you crazy?!

Well, I have, and the technical definition is, two friends who care a lot about each other and have amazing sex and just wanna spend more time together. But if you have this new fangled dictionary that gets you made at me, then we have to, y'know, get you my original dictionary. I am so bad at this.
