[Scene: Joey and Chandler's; Chandler is making some pancakes.]

 

Joey: (yawning, entering from his bedroom) Mornin'!

 

Chandler: Morning. How was your date last night?

 

Joey: Which one?

 

Chandler: With Sarah.

 

Joey: Oh, it actually went pretty good. (Sits at the counter) We really hit it off, and she called me funny and all. We had champagne, fancy dinner. In fact, she's still in there. (Points to his bedroom)

 

Chandler: What? I thought Sophia was in there! I thought I heard her voice in the middle of the night screaming, "Joey! Joey! Kick her off!"

 

Joey: Oh, yeah, my date with Sophia wasn't that great. She's actually in there too. (Points to his bedroom)

 

Chandler: (staring at Joey) Did you have Vodka this morning?

 

Joey: (Chuckling) Oooh--oohhh, not just Vodka. (Grabs a pancake and heads back to his bedroom, excited) Daddy's home!

 

Opening Credits

 

[Scene: Central Perk. Monica, Joey and Chandler are sitting on the orange couch while Phoebe brings her coffee from the counter.]

 

Phoebe: (to Gunther) Thanks. (sits down on the green couch) Hey, so Monica? Are you looking for a date tonight?

 

Joey: Oh, I am!

 

Chandler: (drinking from his coffee) Yep, I'm sure he is. Yet, Judy and Clarissa are still upstairs, in bed, with-out him.

 

Joey: Hey, it's not my fault they enjoy their time with me!

 

Chandler: (staring at Joey) OUT.

 

Monica: (to Phoebe) Why do you want to set me up with someone?

 

Phoebe: Oh, no, I don't. You misunderstood. I'm just available tonight.

 

Joey: I'm kinda available tonight too, y'know? I'm just sick of going round and round and round with women and women and women, from meaningless relationship to a meaningless relationship...to a meaningless relationship. (Chandler glares at him, sarcastically) I want something different. Something...new. (Pause) Nah, who am I kidding?

 

Phoebe: Hey, Joey! How about you and I double date?

 

Joey: Oh, no. I'm sorry, Pheebs, I just don't do that anymore. No, I got my dignity to keep.

 

Chandler: (sarcastic) Yes, of course you do. And now tell me again, how are Clarissa and Judy?

 

(Monica laughs)

 

Phoebe: Control yourself, Mon.

 

Monica: What?!

 

Rachel: (enters) Hey, you guys.

 

All: Hey...(etc.)

 

Rachel: Okay, okay. Stop judging, all right? And stop ridiculing me, will you?

 

Phoebe: Ooh, somebody's a little grinchy today.

 

Rachel: I'm just upset. (Sniffs and groans as she sits down) With Ross.

 

Monica: Oh, I'm so sorry, honey, it didn't work out with you two.

 

Rachel: Yeah, I guess. I don't know--JUST SHUT UP!

 

Phoebe: Oh, jeez. Why so scrunchy?

 

Monica: What's "scrunchy"?

 

Phoebe: Oh, come on. You don't know what scrunchy means! It's another word for "crab"! (Pause) Ohh--ohh and "testosteroney" is also a word for "macho".

 

Chandler: And these floopy words were created by....?

 

Phoebe: Regina Phalange, duh!

 

Rachel: Who's Regina Phalange?

 

Phoebe: Oh, come on! You don't know who Regina Phalange is?! (Pause) She's just this hot woman I made up.

 

Monica: (to Rachel) So, did you even talk to Ross about this?

 

Rachel: No, no, I didn't, Monica. You don't just talk to a guy who said that he doesn't want to do anything with a kiss he shared with you, just like that!

 

Phoebe: Doi! (They all stare at her) Another word for "duh"; where do you people live?!

 

Chandler: At the real world.

 

Phoebe: Well, that just sounds so boring!

 

(Ross enters)

 

Joey: Hey, Ross!

 

Phoebe: Rossie!

 

Ross: Hey. (looks at Rachel) Hey, Rach.

 

Rachel: (quietly) Hi.

 

Monica: Ross, can I talk to you for a minute?

 

Ross: Sure.

 

(They leave the coffeehouse)

 

Phoebe: Huh, that's weird. I bet they're doing it.

 

[Cut to outside Central Perk.]

 

Monica: (yelling at Ross) What is the matter with you?! (hits him on the head)

 

Ross: Oww! What is the matter with you?!

 

Monica: You have never had the big chance to be with Rachel, and now finally when you've had one, you're just letting it go. She seemed so into you.

 

Ross: What are you talking about?

 

Monica: Ross, I know about your phone call last night. I know what you told her.

 

Ross: Yes, I told her that I may want a relationship to start with her.

 

(Silence)

 

Monica: What? She--she said...otherwise. (Ross stares at her)

 

Ross: What did she say?

 

Monica: Well...I mean, she might've said that you told her over the phone that you don't want anything to do with that kiss you guys shared...ON MY BALCONY!

 

Ross: What? She said that?

 

Monica: (hesitating, nervously) Uhhhhh....

 

Ross: I can't believe her! I told her completely the opposite, and that's how she repays me? By starting some rumor and telling it off to all of her friends?

 

Monica: Actually, she only told me and Phoebe, but I let it slide to the guys. (Ross stares at her.) My bad.

 

Ross: Great, now everybody's against me! Everybody's against my will! Only because they all think that I rejected starting a meaningful relationship with her whilst I actually told her that I wanted to take our relationship to the next level--which is starting to date, which was my actual reason why I called Rachel.

 

Monica: Well, maybe Phoebe and I just misunderstood. (Ross glares at her.) Or not, whatever.

 

Ross: Why...I'm just so upset and mad at her! Why? I mean, why? Why would she say that?

 

Monica: Look, Ross, listen. Have ease on her. It's only been a couple of months since she and that orthodontist split up. And do you really think it's easy to, later find out, that the guy she was almost marrying turned out to go on their honeymoon with her maid of honor?

 

Ross: It's not like it's been easy on me either, okay?! (suddenly louder) My ex-wife is a lesbian!! (People walking on the streets and entering the coffeehouse just stood and stared at them.) (to the people) We're practicing a European play, alright?

 

Monica: So you're justifying your not wanting to speak to Rachel about your "phone call" by the fact that you're ex-wife's gay?

 

Ross: Mon, I'm not justifying anything! Actually, the only one who is justifying her position in this relationship is Rachel herself!

 

Monica: She didn't think there was a relationship to justify!

 

Ross: Why am I speakin' to you?

 

Monica: I...don't know.

 

(The two of them return to the coffeehouse.)

 

Phoebe: Hey, so how was it? Did Ross put up really good for ya, Mon? (Monica and Ross both gave Phoebe dirty looks)

 

Ross: Okay, I wanna say EWW.

 

Monica: (to Rachel) So, Rach, uhmm...Ross said he needed to speak to you. (Looks at Ross) Ross?

 

Ross: Yes, umm, Rach? I--well, I kinda wanted to talk to you about...well, y'know, somethin'.

 

Rachel: (sarcastic) Okay. I'm listening.

 

Ross: (shocked) No, no. I kinda wanted to speak to you...in private.

 

Rachel: Oh, I'm sorry, Ross. I'm a little busy right now. (Whistles while reading a magazine and putting up on the coffee table while Ross remains shocked and glaring at Rachel in shock.) Hey, GUNTHER!

 

Gunther: (runs towards Rachel, nervous) Yes, honey? (She looks at him.) Uhhh...I said: Yes? Honey? (Pause) Yeah, we have some honey in jars now if you wish!

 

Rachel: (surprised) No. Just a decaf.

 

Gunther: (runs to the counter) It's coming to ya, honey! (Rachel looks at him again) Yeah, see? I did it again.

 

[Scene: Monica and Rachel's apartment. Monica is putting on an earring with her back to the door while Chandler enters and she hasn't noticed yet.]

 

Chandler: Heyy!

 

Monica: (Startled) Oohh! Chandler, you scared me.

 

Chandler: (sarcastic) I know. (Smiles) (Pause) Why are you so dressed up?

 

Monica: Oh, I have a date.

 

Chandler: Who's the unlucky man? (Monica looks shocked.) I--I'm bored and dateless.

 

Monica: Just some regular guy I met at work. He's been flirting with me all week! I figured, I might as well give him a chance. Show him my true colors, y'know?

 

Chandler: So...so, you're gonna scare him off?

 

(Monica looks at him, but chuckles)

 

Monica: No! No, I'm not gonna scare him off. I'm just...you know, I think I'm looking for the right guy. I want someone in my life.

 

Chandler: Yeah, y'know, so do I.

 

(Phoebe enters.)

 

Phoebe: Hey, guys!

 

Monica: Hey!

 

Chandler: Hey, Pheebs! What you got in that bag?

 

Phoebe: Oh, it's a human skull! (Monica and Chandler open their eyes wildly) Oh, no, you don't have to worry. This isn't like the ones from Ross's museum. No! These kind of human skulls are made to entertain and turn on guys!

 

Chandler: Yeah, you're right, Pheebs. I'm so turned on right now. (Sits on the couch in the living room and watches TV)

 

Phoebe: No, seriously! 85% of guys in New York City say that women with human skulls, that are found and maybe discovered sixty million years ago, turn them on! (Pause) Figured I should try and turn on a guy once in my life! (Pause) Chandler! Aren't you turned on right now?

 

Chandler: Ooooooh (chuckles) yeah, I'm so turned on right now. (He smiles to watching Baywatch)

 

Phoebe: (to Monica) See?

 

Monica: Yeah, as joyful and effective that idea seems, I'm not taking a human skull to my date tonight!

 

Phoebe: Oh, okay, fine. If you wanna end up a loner, living like crap at a mini-van's trunk, don't come crawling to me asking for some human-species skulls!

 

Monica: (chuckles) Okay, I won't.

 

(Joey enters)

 

Joey: Hey!

 

Chandler: Hey, man.

 

Monica: Hey, Joe.

 

Joey: Pheebs, you ready for our date?

 

Monica: Oh, right. You guys have a double-blind date tonight! Wow. That must be cool.

 

Joey: Yeah, no, not really.

 

Phoebe: Yeah, he's right. 'Cause, by the way, Joey, Monica just gave me like the worst dating tip ever!

 

Monica: (shocked) What?

 

Phoebe: (to Joey) Yeah, yeah, she told me to bring over to my "blind" double date a human skull!! (Pause) Can you even imagine how weird and blindfolded Monica could be at times?

 

Joey: Yeah! (Chuckles)

 

Phoebe: Bye! Thanks, Monica, for the dating tip, y'know?

 

Chandler: Bye, guys!

 

Monica: (smiling) Bye! Have fun!

 

Joey: (still laughing at the joke) Oh, god—a human skull! Ahhhaa!

 

(Phoebe and Joey leave)

 

Monica: (to Chandler, now both alone) How long are you gonna stick around and watch that?

 

Chandler: Long enough that when you return from your three-hour-lasting date (now looks at her), I'd still be here!

 

Monica: Right. Till then, so long! (Grabs her purse)

 

Chandler: Have fun!

 

Monica: (sarcastically) Aww, now how can that happen if you're not around?

 

(Chandler laughs, smiling, as Monica leaves)

 

[Scene: Joey and Chandler's apartment. Ross is eating Macaroni and Cheese on the barcalounger, his back to the door.]

 

(Rachel enters)

 

Rachel: Joey?

 

Ross: (still having his back to the door) Joey's not here. He's on his double date with Phoebe.

 

Rachel: Ohh. Right. I—I forgot. Thanks, anyway. (quietly starts to leave but doesn't)

 

(Silence)

 

Ross: You're still here. (He's still staring at the TV, his back to Rachel)

 

Rachel: (smiles) How did you know?

 

Ross: I smelled your sentiment.

 

Rachel: (laughing) Well, I'm sorry, but it wasn't really made to be smelled!

 

Ross: Can I ask you something? (Gets up and puts his plate on the counter)

 

Rachel: Uh-huh. I—I mean, I guess.

 

Ross: What is the matter with you?

 

Rachel: Excuse me?

 

Ross: Okay. So that's how it goes. We share a romantic kiss on a balcony, under the lovely moonlight, I call you the next morning, asking to start patching things up with you—and how do you repay that? Oh, right—right. You just go ahead and tell everybody else that what I told you is that I actually didn't want to start anything with you.

 

Rachel: Look, I was scared, alright?

 

Ross: Yeah, sure, okay. That just justifies your reaction!

 

Rachel: I don't need to justify anything for you!

 

Ross: Rrright. Because you were right.

 

Rachel: There is no right or wrong on this. There are two sides to every story!

 

Ross: Yeah, and in this one, mine is the right one.

 

(Silence)

 

Rachel: After starting meaningful relationships with over ten guys from high school till now, yes, Ross, I was afraid our relationship wasn't going to last a mento!

 

Ross: You should at least try, and not just bail like that!

 

Rachel: I have had a very long relationship with a guy I knew almost all my life, and then on my wedding day, he goes on with my maid of honor to my honeymoon! Bora Bora is such a nice place, and I didn't get to see it!

 

Ross: Yeah, because you bailed when seeing a gravy boat at your ceremony, which—by the way—reminded you of how your husband looked so much like "Mr. Potato Head".

 

Rachel: Those are my choices! Those are my decisions! The ones that I need to make!

 

(Silence)

 

Ross: I love you.

 

(Silence)

 

Rachel: I can't risk or jeopardize such a healthy friendship with you, just to start a deeper relationship, which could turn out to be…deadon.

 

(Silence)

 

Rachel: I'm sorry, Ross. (starts to cry) I'm really, really sorry. (Leaves)

 

(Ross is desperate)

 

[Scene: Monica and Rachel's apartment. Chandler is still there, "sticking around", watching Baywatch, as Monica returns from her date.]

 

Chandler: Hey, hey, hey! How was the healthy date with the really lucky guy?

 

Monica: How was watching Baywatch for the past three hours?

 

Chandler: You wouldn't believe it!

 

Monica: No, seriously. (Puts her purse down) Is there, like, some kind of a Baywatch channel…or some kind of an agency that puts permanent reruns on it?

 

Chandler: You wouldn't believe it, baby! (Smiles) Really, how was your date?

 

Monica: Awful, horrible, terrible. I'd wish I had a date with an 85 year-old macho woman!

 

Chandler: I would, too, I think. (Pause) What happened?

 

Monica: He was just…he was so…he was…(Pauses) He's just not the one, y'know? And I feel awful. I'm, like, the most awful person in the world! I mean, he could've been a great guy, but I…I want more.

 

Chandler: You know why? (Stands up, goes over and hugs her in the kitchen) Because you deserve more.

 

Monica: (smiles) Keep going.

 

Chandler: Any sane woman would be lucky to have ya! (Pause) And—I mean, of course, guys too. I'm just tryin' to make you feel better.

 

Monica: (Looks up at Chandler, while still hugging) And you know what? It worked.

 

(An awkward silence while the two "used to be" friends stared at each other romantically)

 

(Monica kisses him)

 

Chandler: Wow.

 

(Silence)

 

Monica: What?

 

Chandler: Any woman would be lucky to sleep with ya!

 

(They start making out even more.)

 

Commercial Break

 

[Scene: Monica's Bedroom. Monica and Chandler are now in bed.]

 

Chandler: OH, MY….GAWD!!

 

Monica: (staring at Chandler) Thank you!

 

Chandler: You know we're not gonna get away with this, don't you? (Pause) You do know that someway or another, Ross's gonna find out and WOOPāChandler's dead.

 

Monica: Yeah, but so what?

 

(They chuckle)

 

Chandler: Exactly.

 

(Silence)

 

Monica: You know that this could ruin our long-lasting relationship, don't you?

 

Chandler: Eh, I have other friends.

 

Monica: Yeah, me too.

 

Chandler: We weren't that close anyway.

 

Monica: Yeah, you're right.

 

(They kiss again.)

 

[Scene: A Restaurant uptown. Phoebe and Joey are having a double-blind date with Craig and Sally.]

 

Phoebe: (to Craig) So, Craig, Joey never told me. How do you two even know each other?

 

Craig: Oh, Joey and I actually go way back together. Yeah, we met three days ago at the NYU public library.

 

(Phoebe stares at Joey)

 

Phoebe: Oh, my god, Joey! (Pause) What were you doing at the public library?

 

Joey: I went in to pee, okay?

 

Craig: (to Phoebe) What about you? How do you know Joey?

 

Phoebe: Oh, we see each other once in a while.

 

Joey: Yeah, she throws parties at her place; I stop over and ruin them.

 

Sally: Really? (Touches Joey's hand) So, Joey, you're kind of like a bad boy, huh? (Winks at him)

 

Joey: Ooooh, yeah. (Smiles) I'm a bad boy. I'm a….gooooood bad boy, baby. (Pause) Hey, WAITER!

 

Waiter: (stops) Yes, sir?

 

Joey: Are there any free beds around here?

 

Waiter: Excuse me, sir?

 

Phoebe: JOEY! We're at a fancy restaurant!

 

Man: (running off at the restaurant, with only shorts) GET ME MY CLOTHES BACK! Hey, you!

 

Joey: Just not fancy enough, huh?

 

Craig: (to Phoebe) So, Phoebe, what do you do?

 

Phoebe: Oh, I'm a masseuse. Yeah, I give massages to those who have certain illnesses.

 

Craig: Really?

 

Phoebe: No, I just give massages! (Pause) Oh, wait. That reminds me. I got you something.

 

Craig: Wow. A first-double-blind-date gift, huh?

 

Phoebe: Yeah, no, it's a human skull! (Grabs it from her bag below the table)

 

Craig: (staring at the skull, afraid, unhappy) Wow. Well, that's…that's...a skull! (Pause) And I'm gonna go to the bathroom.

 

Sally: Me too!

 

Joey: I'll be right with ya, Sally. Ha-ha, the bathroom-sex prank, huh? (Winks at Sally)

 

Sally: No, I really have to pee.

 

(Craig and Sally leave the table and go to the bathroom.)

 

Joey: It's going pretty well, isn't it?

 

Phoebe: Yeah! (Sighs) Sally's just too weird, isn't she?

 

Joey: Yeah, a believer.

 

Phoebe: Uh-huh, agree. (looking at the skull) Thank you. Plan on turning him on worked! (Shakes with the headed skull) No hands, huh? (Silence) (to the skull) What are you still staring at?! (Covers her breasts)

 

Joey: (sniffs) Showoff!

 

[Scene: Monica and Rachel's apartment. Rachel enters and closes the door quickly behind her.]

 

(Ross suddenly enters)

 

Ross: Very funny to close the door on my broken toe! (Pause) Smart move! Must be another of your smart moves that you make in everyday life, including breaking up with me!

 

Rachel: How was it a break-up if we weren't even together?

 

Ross: And why weren't we together? Oh, right. Because of YOU!

 

Rachel: This is too much for me, Ross!

 

Ross: What? What is, Rachel? What is too much for you?

 

Rachel: All this pressure—all this stuff you're putting me in. The situation you're putting me in!

 

Ross: It doesn't have to be that complicated. Just be with me!

 

Rachel: I can't, all right?! Just get that point! Us is never going to happen! All right?

 

(Silence)

 

Ross: You don't get it, do you?

 

Rachel: What? Get what? What should I get?

 

Ross: Never mind. (Starts to exit)

 

Rachel: No, no, tell me! Tell me, Ross!

 

Ross: Forget it!

 

Rachel: Tell me, Ross! Come on! What are you waiting for? What should I get?

 

Ross: That I've wanted you since the ninth grade, for god's sake! (Silence) But things got in the way—like prom night and ex-boyfriends…and stuff like that.

 

(Silence)

 

Rachel: Why didn't you ask me out?

 

Ross: You think I didn't try? You think I had the courtesy—or the courage to ask you out on a date? You were "the" woman. You were my woman.

 

Rachel: And now I'm not?

 

(Silence)

 

Ross: You'll always be "my" woman. (Silence) But not if you don't want to.

 

Rachel: Ross, just…just please. Please leave.

 

(Silence)

 

Rachel: I can't deal with this right now. (Sighs) I'm exhausted, I'm tired…I…Just leave. Please.

 

(Silence. Slowly and quietly, Ross nods in agreement and exits the apartment)

 

(Rachel sighs endlessly)

 

Monica: (shows up from her bedroom) Hey, Rach! (Smiles endlessly)

 

Rachel: Hey. What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be on your date?

 

Monica: (smiling) Ooooh, my date isn’t even over yet!

 

(Rachel glares at her for a moment of silence.)

 

Rachel: Oh, my god! (Gasps) He's, like, in there right now, isn't he?!

 

Monica: Uhhh….yeah, he is.

 

Rachel: Aww, then call him out here; I wanna meet him!

 

Monica: Uhh, no, you can't!

 

Rachel: Why not?

 

Monica: Because……..

 

(Chandler enters)

 

Chandler: Hey.

 

Monica: Because Chandler's here!

 

Rachel: (to Monica) What? So what if Chandler's here? He's dumb! (Turns to Chandler) Oh, hi, by the way.

 

Chandler: What's going on?

 

Rachel: Monica wouldn't let me see who her boyfriend, who she's been sleeping with in there, is!

 

Chandler: Really? (Pause) Call him out here; let's meet the sarcastic man!

 

Rachel: Awe, he makes jokes too? We had enough out of Chandler!

 

Monica: I…he can't come out now. Really. Maybe next time.

 

Chandler: What are you, ashamed of him or something?

 

(Silence)

 

Monica: No. No. I'm just…I'm just…he's kind of shy.

 

Chandler: What is he, a chick?

 

Monica: (chuckling) No. No, he's not a chick. A chicken, maybe.

 

(Chandler looks at her, smiling)

 

Rachel: Come on, Monica! Stop acting like a baby! Let me meet him!

 

Monica: No!!

 

Rachel: Fine, then I'll go meet him myself!

 

Monica: NO, DON'T!!

 

(Rachel runs over to Monica's bedroom, as Monica follows her, trying to stop her, as Rachel walks in then returns)

 

Chandler: (sarcastic) What does he look like?

 

Rachel: I don't……know. (Pause) He's sleeping.

 

Monica: And we might as well keep it like that.

 

Rachel: Anyway, I'm gonna go to the coffeehouse for a little while. I think I may have forgotten my purse there.

 

Chandler: (Laughing) Ohh and you need that!!

 

(Rachel stares at him in a weird way, tries to laugh)

 

Rachel: See ya later. (to Monica) Good luck with…..y'know? (Points on to the bedroom)

 

Monica: Ooohhh…….okay!!

 

Chandler: Bye.

 

(Rachel leaves)

 

Monica: Oh, my god. That was close.

 

Chandler: Tell me about it.

 

Monica: And what's with Rachel thinking the guy's sleepin' in there?

 

Chandler: Oh, I arranged the pillows to look like a guy.

 

(They both laugh)

 

Chandler: That, of course, happened before I climbed down the fire escape.

 

Monica: I see.

 

(They kiss.)

 

(Rachel re-enters)

 

(Monica and Chandler quickly jump over and Rachel suspects nothing.)

 

Rachel: I forgot…my jacket. (Grabs her jacket from behind the door and looks at Monica and Chandler, the two of them just standing in the middle of the living room, silent) So what? The two of you are just standing in the middle of the living room, doing nothing?

 

Chandler: (Chuckles, nervously) Yeeeeaaahhh!

 

Rachel: (points at Chandler) You…you're weird today. Bye. (As she leaves, she looks again at Monica and Chandler, shakes her head) Weird. (Leaves)

 

[Scene: The Restaurant; Phoebe and Joey are still waiting for the re-arrival of Craig and Sally.]

 

(Silence pause)

 

Joey: When do you think they climbed out of the bathroom window and left home?

 

Phoebe: 'Bout an hour an a half.

 

Joey: We're screwed, aren't we?

 

Phoebe: Yeah, we blew this off, didn't we?

 

Joey: (Smiling) Of course WE DID!! (Pause) I mean, we're Joey and Phoebe. We don't have long-lasting relationships!

 

Phoebe: Yeah, and we just say that—oh, so proudly!

 

Joey: The longest-lasting relationship I've ever had with a woman was about……(thinks)

 

Phoebe: Three and a half hours?

 

(Joey nods)

 

Joey: You?

 

Phoebe: There's a possibility that's it's the same, y'know?

 

Joey: (nods) Yeah.

 

Phoebe: Oh, but I'm not counting the time included on the sex time.

 

Joey: Oh, like I was!

 

[Scene: Central Perk. Monica, Phoebe, Joey, Chandler and Rachel are sitting down. Ross just grabbed his coffee from Gunther from the counter and joined the gang.]

 

Ross: (to Gunther) Thanks.

 

Gunther: Whatever. (Turns around and leaves)

 

Rachel: So, I don't know if I told you guys about Monica's new boyfriend.

 

All: Wow!

 

Chandler: He must be interesting! (Pause) And funny. And cute.

 

Monica: He's actually kinda racist.

 

(Chandler stares at her in sarcasm.)

 

Ross: What's his name?

 

Monica: He…he doesn't have a name.

 

Ross: Have you been sleeping with him?

 

Rachel: Oh, yeah. She has. Lots and lots of times! (Pause) Seriously, I'm getting tired of it, Mon!

 

Phoebe: So, do you want to start something up with this guy? Is it turning serious?

 

(Silence. Monica looks at Chandler silently)

 

Monica: I believe it is.

 

Joey: So you want to take things more serious with him? You wanna start to date him?

 

(Silence)

 

Monica: (Smiles) I think so.

 

(Silence)

 

Chandler: I think he wants too.

 

(Silence)

 

Joey: Are we still talking about sex?

 

Closing Credits

 

[Scene: Joey and Chandler's; Chandler, Phoebe and Ross are waiting by the counter, with pancakes in their hands.]

 

Chandler: Ok, he should be up in the minute.

 

Ross: I really wish I wasn't doing this.

 

Phoebe: Oh, come on. Don't take the fun out of everything by talking about dinosaurs!

 

Chandler: (Checks his watch) Ok. 5…4…3…2…1.

 

Joey: (comes out of his bedroom) Mornin'!

 

All: (giving out positive ideas) Yeah! He's up! You were right! Joey!

 

Joey: What's goin' on?

 

Chandler: How are Jennifer and Melinda?

 

Joey: Who? (Pause) Ohh! Kicked them out of bed at midnight.

 

Phoebe: I see.

 

Joey: (calling to his bedroom) Olivia! Lisa! Come out of there! The pancakes are done!

 

End

 

Brief Summary:

Chandler tries comforting Monica after her date with a great guy goes horrible since she's trying to look for the right guy, but his comforting ways turn clockwise when, the next morning, both best friends find in each other in bed together. Meanwhile, Ross discovers Rachel began a little rumor--that started on the previous episode--when she says that Ross doesn't want anything to do with that kiss. He tries to patch things up with Rachel, but that goes to worse. Finally, Joey and Phoebe go on a double blind date, which is ruined by both Joey and Phoebe. Monica and Chandler--at the last scene of this episode--realize one thing: they might want to start a relationship together.
