Chandler
L1
Hey!
Ross
L2
Yeah! Yeah! OK! Sure! Look! Can we...can we talk about what happened here last night?
Chandler
L3
Sure! Just give me a second to get all huffy and weird like you! Do you believe that who ever
did something over here last night did what they did or didn't do ...I mean come on!!
Ross
L5
OK you...you really don't know what I am talking about?
Chandler
L6
No!
Ross
L7
OK! Last night after the party I saw Rachel kissing that jerk from her office out on your balcony.
Chandler
L8
Our balcony? Seriously? That's so funny because I told Monica we should put lights on our balcony. And she said
"No, no. It's too cold, nobody will go out there." And I said "Maybe if we put some light out there they will"
Ross
L10
Right that's why I came over to talk about. Hum...I saw Rachel kissing some guy on your balcony,
even though there were NO LIGHTS !
Chandler
L12
So are you gonna...talk to her?
Ross
L13
Why...Why should I? I mean if she wants to move on, that's fine!
Chandler
L14
You know when "That's fine" sounds true when someone yells it and spits!
Ross
L15
No I'm serious. I mean she wants to date people? Fine! I don't care but...at least she could have told me. You know
I...I've been putting my life on hold and just concentrating on Emma but if she wants to go out there kissing guys she
barely knows, then so will I ! Very funny! Ross is gay! Ah! Ah!
Chandler
L18
No no no. Good. So you're moving on? Do you have any idea where you're moving?
Ross
L19
I don't know. I mean I have plenty of opportunity. Just just now there were some women at the coffee house smiled at me.
And then the other day on the subway a woman "accidentally" sat on my hand.
Chandler
L21
Dude, don't rub my face in your crazy single life!
Ross
L22
Well, and how about this? There is an anthropologist at school who totally came on to me during the inter-departmental
Potluck dinner.
Chandler
L24
Why did I get married?!

Joey
L1
Hey! Let me ask you guys something. I have a new headshot taken tomorrow right and the photographer said she thinks I
should have my eyebrows waxed. Is that weird for a guy?
Phoebe
L3
Well it depends.
Joey
L4
On...?
Phoebe
L5
On how far along he's in the sex change process!
Monica
L6
No I totally disagree. No I think it's fine for a guy to do something like that. Such you an actor. Not that you need to,
your eyebrows are...
Joey
L8
Ok! Stop it you guys! Stop staring! You're freaking me out!
Phoebe
L9
Your knuckles are kinda hairy too...
Joey
L10
Oh man! I have to get those done too?!
Phoebe
L11
Wow! Talking about high maintenance
Joey
L12
Hey hey! You dye your hair!
Phoebe
L13
I'm a woman!
Joey
L14
Arghhh! Double standards!
Phoebe
L15
Oh before I forget, are you coming to Mike's piano bar tonight?
Monica
L16
Only if I don't have to get up and sing.
Phoebe
L17
But everybody sings. It's so much fun! Last time this adorable old man got out there, forgot all of the words, flipped out
and everyone booed him off the stage. So funny.
Monica
L19
It's just, I'm not good at singing.
Phoebe
L20
Oh! What's the matter? Are you scared? You're afraid I'm a better singer? You're afraid I'm gonna beat you at singing?
Monica
L21
No no, it's not working on me. Wow! I must be growing up!
Phoebe
L22
OK fine! Please come and support Mike. You don't have to sing.
Monica
L23
So I don't have to sing and I can just sit there and pass judgments on others?
Phoebe
L24
While drinking...
Monica
L25
I'm there!
Rachel
L26
Hi guys! Listen I really need your help. I think I did something really stupid.
Phoebe
L27
Well yes Rachel but you got something so beautiful out there
Rachel
L28
No not that. I kissed Gavin last night.
Phoebe
L29
Oh my god.
Monica
L30
You kissed him?
Rachel
L31
Yeah. It was after the party, we were on the balcony and...
Monica
L32
Wait wait wait. I was at home the whole time. How did I missed that?
Phoebe
L33
It was the end of the party, you were probably ironing wrapping paper.
Monica
L34
Oh yeah...So how did you end up kissing?
Rachel
L35
You know we were all alone and he was being really nice to me and, oh and he gave me this scarf...
Monica
L36
I thought you hated him?
Rachel
L37
You know honey, there is a thin line between love and hate, and it turns out that line...is a scarf!
Monica
L38
So are you thinking of starting up something with this guy?
Rachel
L39
I don't know. It's so complicated. I work with this guy, you know, I have the baby, and I have Ross, and I just...I don't
know what to do and I have to be at the office and see Gavin in ten minutes.
Monica
L41
Sounds like you need to think about what you want, talk to Gavin, and you definitely should talk to Ross
Rachel
L42
Or...I could call in sick and not deal with it at all...
Phoebe
L43
Wow! Five-month maternity leave, you're back for four days, kiss a co-worker, call in sick, they are lucky to have you!!

Hi
Joey
L2
Hey. I'm here for my eyebrow appointment.
Salon Girl
L3
Name?
Joey
L4
Chandler Bing.
Salon Girl
L5
Ok. Very good. Have a seat right over here Mr. Bing and Sonia will be right with you.
Joey
L6
OK Thanks.
(Joey touches the hot wax). I touched the stuff
Sonia
L8
I'll take care of it
Joey
L9
Thanks. Do you get a lot of guys in here?
Sonia
L10
Oh absolutely.
Joey
L11
Oh good...
Sonia
L12
Are you looking to meet somebody?
Joey
L13
All right let's just do this.
Sonia
L14
We'll get to the wax in a minute. First I want to tweeze some of the strays, ok? This may sting just a little bit...
Joey
L15
Please I have an extremely high threshold...Holly Mother Of God! My face! My face!! I'm all right! I'm all right!
Just a little bit of shock that's all but I'll be fine you can go again. I'm OK
(He tries to avoid the tweezers) Dammit! Woman!! How Hoooow!

Chandler
L1
Hey it's the most eligible man in NY. How's the moving on going?
Ross
L2
Not well. I went on the subway again and someone did sit on my hand but that person was neither female nor wearing pants.
Chandler
L3
Well maybe you're going about this the wrong way. You know I mean think about it. Single white male, divorced three times,
two illegitimate children. The personal ad writes itself....
Ross
L5
That's funny...Do you think you'll ever work again?
Chandler
L6
What are doing? You know I can only dish it out!
Ross
L7
I can't believe Rachel just moved on and didn't say anything to me
Chandler
L8
Maybe she didn't move on, you know...maybe that kiss was just an impulsive one-time birthday thing
Ross
L9
No no, about a month ago she gave her number to some guy in a bar.
Chandler
L10
Did she go out with him?
Ross
L11
No. When he called, I...I threw the message away.
Chandler
L12
Ah! The high road...
Ross
L13
You know what? Enough! Enough talking! I have to get moving! Hey check out those two blondes over there!
Hey come with me!
Chandler
L15
Are you trying to get everybody divorced?
Ross
L16
You don't have to do anything. It will just be easier if it is the two of us, like college, remember? You...you break the
ice with some kind of jokes so that they know you're the funny one and I swoop in with some interesting conversation, so
they'll see that I'm the brilliant, brooding, sexy one...
Chandler
L19
I thought I had to make the jokes!
Ross
L20
Don't you have to be at work?
Chandler
L21
Oh come on! Hello! Hi! My name is Chandler, here's my friend Ross right here, and we were wondering you know if you're up for it.
We only need six more people for a human pyramid...Swoop!! Swoop!!
Ross
L23
Hum...So...hum...Oh hey I noticed you were reading the paper...another flood in Europe? Here's a question: "Would you...
would you rather drown or be burnt alive?"
Blonde Girl
L25
Sorry...we were just leaving
Chandler
L26
We still got it!

Who is it?
Gavin

Gavin! I brought you some soup.
Rachel

Why?
Gavin
L4
I heard you were sick...
Rachel
L5
Oh! Right! Yeah! Hold on, I'll be just clean up in here a little bit! Hello Gavin
Gavin
L6
I missed you at work today. How are you feeling?
Rachel
L7
I a not gonna lie to you, I'm pretty sick
Gavin
L8
Oh! Good! Because I was having a totally paranoid moment when I thought you called in sick to avoid me.
Rachel
L9
Oh no no no
Gavin
L10
So I had fun last night
Rachel
L11
So did I
Gavin
L12
Exactly how contagious is this thing you have? I mean is it a cold for standing on the balcony or did a monkey bite you?
Rachel
L13
It's just a cold
Gavin
L14
Do you have fever? Let me see. Hum...
Rachel
L15
What? What's the matter?
Gavin
L16
What's Ross doing to you on that picture?
Rachel
L17
Oh he's dusting me with a fossil brush. He thought it would be funny.
Gavin
L18
Right. Right. Ross. So what's the deal with you guys? I don't want to get in the middle of anything
Rachel
L19
Oh you're not. You're not gonna get in the middle of anything, don't worry about Ross really, really.
(She hears the noise of the key in the lock) Oh! Hide! That's Ross! Hide! Hide!
Gavin
L21
Yeah! But you said not to worry about...
Rachel
L22
I lied! And I'm not sick! Just stay behind the curtain!
Molly
L23
Hi!
Rachel
L24
Oh! Molly! You're not Ross.
Molly
L25
No I'm here to take Emma to your mother's, remember?
Rachel
L26
Right, right, yes!
Molly
L27
Don't panic!
Rachel
L28
What?
Molly
L29
There is a man behind your curtain. I have a mace in my purse.
Rachel
L30
No! That's OK! That's OK! That's OK! No no no no! This is my business associate Gavin. He's just being silly.
Gavin come out from behind that curtain!
Gavin
L32
Hi! Gavin! Please to meet you. It was my idea to stand there.
Molly
L33
Hello! I just go and get Emma.
Rachel
L34
OK.
Gavin
L35
So hum...Why did I have to hide?
Rachel
L36
I thought it was Ross.
Gavin
L37
So what if it was? I thought there was nothing going on between you two...
Rachel
L38
There isn't. There is totally isn't.
Gavin
L39
You hear a key in the hole and you jump like a young bronco coming out of a chute for the first time. I used to be a
rodeo clown.
Rachel
L41
All right. Look. Gavin...I...I guess I felt guilty that you were here, which I shouldn't. You know Ross and I are not in
any relationship but...he is the father of my child, and you know we do live together and plus there is just so much
history...you know it's just...I don't know, I'm sorry, I'm just all over the place.
Gavin
L44
It's OK. I know it's probably not my place but can I give you a piece of advice?
Rachel
L45
Yes
Gavin
L46
I think you should talk to Ross about all this.
Rachel
L47
People keep saying that. Oh I'm sorry Gavin
Gavin
L48
Don't be. It's just bad timing.
Rachel
L49
So seriously...rodeo clown?
Gavin
L50
One of the best, ma'am, one of the best...

Mike

Oh she's my girlfriend. That's not just how we do it here. I got to get a break and when we come back we've got Kenneth
singing "I touch myself"...I'm not here to judge!
Phoebe
L5
Hi hi...Oh you have got to sing.
Monica
L6
No I told you I can't.
Phoebe
L7
But you would have so much fun and you have a really nice voice.
Monica
L8
What have you heard me sing?
Phoebe
L9
All the time when you're cooking.
Monica
L10
What?
Phoebe
L11
Yeah you're always singing "Yummy yummy yummy, I've got love in my tummy"
Monica
L12
Yeah I do rock that one.
Phoebe
L13
OK so isn't there a little part of you that wants to get up there?
Monica
L14
Just a little but...it's just so scary! I don't even know what I would sing...
Mike

Well I've got a book around...

Hi! I could help not notice, but that's an unusual necklace
Woman
L2
You already hit on me an hour ago
Ross
L3
Right, so that's a firm "no". I cannot believe this, I just keep striking out.
Chandler
L4
I don't get it neither, I mean you're obviously desperate, you're asking women how they want to be killed
Ross
L5
This is great. Rachel's gonna keep kissing guys until she finds the one she wants and I'm gonna die alone.
Chandler
L6
By drowning or...?!
Michelle
L7
Why would he break up with me?
Her Friend
L8
I don't know sweetie.
Michelle
L9
All I ever wanted was just love him and have him love me back. I mean, am I so unlovable?
Chandler
L10
Well...
Ross

I know! (he stands)

Mike

All right, that was Kenneth with his much too literal rendition of "I touch myself". Coming up next we've got Monica
singing "Delta Dawn".
Monica
L3
Wait wait! I can't sing in front of all these people.
Phoebe
L4
Just pretend they're not even here! It's OK Monica, when that spotlight hits you it so bright you won't see anyone
anyway.
Monica
L6
Hi! I'm Monica and I'm gonna be singing "Delta Dawn"
"Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on? Could it be a faded rose from days gone by? ..."
Phoebe
L8
Can you totally see through her shirt ?
Mike

Like an X-Ray. Bad day not to wear a bra.

Joey

Hey, I need your help.
Chandler
L2
Wow, it seems serious. What seems to be the problem, Ashley Judd?
Joey
L3
Look, I'll get new headshot taken, all right, so I want to get my eyebrows shaped
Chandler
L4
I am sorry, moment to make fun of that, please!
Joey
L5
You may be a sissy but I'll still (pound you out on ground). All right, it hurts so bad, I could only let her do one
eyebrow and now... they don't match!
Chandler
L7
It's like a baby caterpillar chasing its mama!
Joey
L8
All right, look, you got to help me out, ok? Look, I have the magic marker, I want you to fill in the skinny one so
I don't look stupid for my pictures.
Chandler
L10
Ok. First of all, this is green!
Joey
L11
What the hell am I supposed to do!
Chandler
L12
All right, I will help you out but you have to promise me you will not tell anyone what I am about to tell you.
Joey
L13
What, what.
Chandler
L14
Ok, you know how most kids get their allowance from mowing the lawn or taking out the garbage, well I earned mine
by plucking the eyebrows of my father and his 'business' partners.
Joey
L16
Oh my God!
Chandler
L17
Yeah, well, I guess you don't need my help Victor Victoria!
Joey
L18
Ok all right, no, no, no, no, I do, I do, I do, I need your help, but Chandler I don't know if I can take anymore
plucking. It hurts so bad!
Chandler
L20
Oh, not with my combination of ice cubes, aloe Vera and my gentle self-loathing touch.

Phoebe
L2
Every little bit of you!
Monica
L3
I can't believe I did this. I can't believe I'm singing for the people, and they liked me! Hey, did you hear that
one shouting 'look at those tips'! I mean, did I really help you get a lot of tips?
Mike
L5
Sure.
Phoebe
L6
Mon', not that you didn't sound good, but...
Monica
L7
Good? Didn't you hear them...I was great! Thank you so much for making me do this. That's is the best gift ever.
Mike

Also a good gift? Underwear.

Michelle
L1
Thank you so much for letting me do this. Public bathrooms freak me out, I can't even pee, let alone do
anything else.
Ross
L3
But, what's great is that you don't mind talking about it.
Michelle
L4
It's so amazing I met you the same day that Eric broke up with me, because it's like you lose a boyfriend,
you get a boyfriend.
Ross
L6
Uh-ah!
Michelle
L7
No don't worry, this is not some rebound thing. I am totally over Eric.
Ross
L8
(pfew). Good choice Ross.
Rachel
L9
Oh, hey! Hi, there you are, I've been looking for you everywhere!
Ross
L10
Oh, yeah, hello, well, now, here I am.
Rachel
L11
Listen, my mum is not bringing the baby back until nine o' clock. So I was hoping you and I could have a
chance to kind of talk' somebody here?
Ross
L13
Oh, yeah, yeah that's Michelle.
Rachel
L14
Who?
Ross
L15
Oh, just this woman I've been seeing.
Rachel
L16
You've being seeing someone?
Ross
L17
Yeah, didn't I mention that? Yeah, I mean, we haven't being going out for too long, but rather there is this
amazing connection between us. I-I mean, in fact just before you came in she called me her boyfriend. I thought it was
a little too soon, but it was also, you know, it was kinda nice.
Michelle
L20
What are you taking amoxicillin for?
Ross
L21
How great is this? You are already comfortable enough to look through my stuff. Oh, I am sorry Michelle, that's
my roommate, Rachel.
Rachel
L23
Hi, and I am also Emma's mother.
Michelle
L24
Ah, who is Emma?
Ross
L25
I told you about my daughter.
Michelle
L26
This is your daughter? I can be your new mummy!

Joey

Oh my God! I didn't feel a thing ! Hey, are you still looking for a job because you can tweeze circles around
that sadistic bitch at the saloon
Chandler
L4
Thanks. You wanna see what it looks like?
Joey
L5
Yeah, yeah. Hey, they totally match! They look great! They look great! How you doing!
Chandler
L6
Yeah, yeah, I think it looks pretty good. I was a little worried I was uncovering a birthmark right about
there, but it turned out to be a little piece of chocolate.
Joey
L8
Thank you so much.
Chandler
L9
No problem.
Joey
L10
Listen that's a pretty girly hour we just spent, we should add some manly make up for it.
Chandler
L11
Yeah.
Joey

Ok, for my next song I think I'll sing something a little more upbeat. All right? Oh, how about the Pointer
Sisters 'I am so excited'. And make it bouncy!
Phoebe
L3
Oh you'll probably take care of that on your hands.
Chandler
L4
I am sorry I am late. You'll understand when you'll see Joey.
Monica
L5
Honey, you're just in time, I'm about to sing another song!
Chandler
L6
Really? In front of all this people?
Monica
L7
And they love me!
Chandler
L8
Oh my God!
Phoebe
L9
Yes, she gives the people what they want.
Monica
L10
All right, watch!
Monica
L11
"Tonight's the night we're gonna make it happen, tonight we'll put all other things aside. Give in this
time and show me some affection..."
Chandler
L13
Are those my wife's nipples?
Phoebe
L14
Oh? Isn't that funny? I didn't see that before, I wouldn't have let her go up again.
Chandler
L15
I gotta stop this.
Monica
L16
Oh, who cares, they still love me! "I am so excited..."
Chandler

You, touching yourself, out!

Wow. She does that a lot!
Michelle

Ross, you didn't tell me you were a doctor!
Rachel

What, what, wait a minute! You haven't even told her you were a doctor, yet? How long have you known her, like
an hour?
Michelle
L5
Actually about an hour and a half.
Ross
L6
I told you it wasn't long, but there is an amazing connection between us.
Michelle
L7
You feel that too? Oh, I thought that was just me!
Ross
L8
Are you kidding?
Michelle
L9
Hey, do you want to go away this weekend?
Ross
L10
We'll see.
Rachel
L11
Ok, Ross, what's going on here, are we just bringing strange women back to the apartment now?
Ross
L12
I don't know, are we just kissing guys on balconies?
Rachel
L13
How do you know about that?
Ross
L14
Through the magic of sight! I was here, putting our child to sleep...
Michelle
L15
Emma.
Ross
L16
When I happened to look through the window and I see you kissing a guy you know, for what? A week?
Rachel
L17
Oh, that's what this is all about? Did you bring her up here to get back at me?
Michelle
L18
No, actually, see I had to pee, 'cause I can't use public bathrooms because the doodie parasites.
Ross
L19
Ok, Michelle, it's time to go.
Michelle
L20
Well, call me!
Ross
L21
Ok.
Michelle
L22
No, wait, you don't have my phone number!
Ross
L23
You know, if it's meant to be, I'll guess it. Bye, bye.
Rachel
L24
Score.
Ross
L25
Oh, I am sorry, did you not like her, because I was hoping that we could come to one of your kissing parties on
the balcony.
Rachel
L27
Oh God, I can't believe you're making such a big deal about this. It was one kiss, one guy, one time!
Ross
L28
Oh, really!
Rachel
L29
Yeah.
Ross
L30
Oh, really!
Rachel
L31
Oh yeah.
Ross
L32
What about the guy from the bar?
Rachel
L33
What? Who?
Ross
L34
The guy you gave your number to.
Rachel
L35
Whoa, how do you know about that?
Ross
L36
Because he called here looking for you. So don't tell me this...this kissing this guy from work is a one time thing,
ok? You've been out there in bars and on balconies for over a month now. And you didn't even have the courtesy to tell me.
Rachel
L38
Why didn't I get that message?
Ross
L39
What?
Rachel
L40
From the guy in the bar, why didn't I get that message?
Ross
L41
Because I folded it up and put in my pants pocket. Do you...do you not look there?
Rachel
L42
Ross?
Ross
L43
I never gave it to you.
Rachel
L44
Why?
Ross
L45
I don't know.
Rachel
L46
Oh God. You know what? Who you think you are? Who are you to decide what messages I should or should not get?
Ross
L47
Who am I?
Rachel
L48
Yes.
Ross
L49
I am the guy who's taking care of our baby while you're out at bars meeting guys!
Rachel
L50
Oh my God, I cannot believe this. You know I actually came in here hoping to have a mature conversation with you
About us! But I can't do that with someone who hides my messages and brings crazy women back to my apartment!
Ross
L52
None of the sane ones wanted to come back with me! That's not the point. Ok? The point is you...you are the one
Who moved on and didn't tell anyone!
Rachel
L54
Oh, Ross, this is just so messed up! What's wrong with us? You know when people hear about our situation they
Always ask, 'what, you live together but you're not a couple? And you have a baby, isn't that weird?' And I say 'No.
You know what, it's not, because it works for us!' But you know this doesn't work. In fact this is the opposite of working!
Ross
L57
