(Phone rings.' Chandler answers using the speaker phone.)

(She frowns.' Chandler picks up the hand set.)

(Chandler hangs up and calls Monica who is reading a book on their sofa as the phone rings.)

[ OPENING CREDITS ]

(Rachel nods.' There is a knock on the door.)

(Phoebe and Mike enter.)

(They clink beer bottles, and drink.' Then, they stare uncomfortably at their bottles.)

Mike:' So, you're a paleontologist, right?

[Scene:' Monica and Chandler's apartment.' Monica is wearing a sexy negligee.' She pours two glasses of wine as Chandler enters with a carry-on suitcase.' He sets the case by the door.]

(There is a loud thud at the door.)

(Monica goes to the door.' Chandler slides behind it as she opens it slightly.)

(Monica turns to get the wine.' Chandler peeps through the peephole.' Joey, seeing something, peeps back.' Chandler ducks.' Monica returns with two glasses of wine.' She gives one to Joey.)

(Chandler's cell phone rings.' He looks at it.)

(Chandler and Monica look at each other.' Chandler nods.)

(Chandler runs to the window, opens it, starts out, but returns, casually walking back to his chair.)

(Three pizza crusts, two bottle caps and the plastic tripod are left in the otherwise empty pizza box.' Mike is making hollow popping noises with his mouth.' He begins to speak, but stops and pops his lips a few more times and takes a drink.' Ross smiles as if he has thought of something to say, but then he stops and sinks back in a slump on the sofa.)

(Mike leaves.' Ross closes the door behind him.)

(Ross, inside the door, releases a sign of relief.' Back in the hall, Mike's cell phone rings.)

(Mike knocks on Ross's door.' Ross opens it.)

(Joey thinks a moment. Then, he nods.' Joey follows Chandler into the apartment.)

(Joey gives him and odd look.' Monica gives a similar look.)

(Thudding sounds can be heard from the bedroom.)

(Phone rings.)

(Chandler heads toward the stairs, but makes a turn back to his apartment while looking at the ticket.)

(Chandler goes into the apartment, while Joey checks his ticket and is embarrassed by his stupid mistake.)

(Everyone exchanges greetings.)

(Okays, and good byes are exchanged all around.)

(Inside the apartment the phone rings.' Ross answers it.)

(He hangs up the phone and tears the note off the pad.' Then, he stops and re-reads it.' Rachel enters.)

[END]

(Ross and Mike glance at each other then both suddenly turn to Phoebe who is gone. 'They sheepishly exchange glances.)

(Ross smiles slightly.' Then he gives a single nod that lifts him to his feet.' He exits the coffee shop.)
