Phoebe: No, 'cause he's yummy¹¹.

Phoebe: I don't think it would have sold a million copies but it would have made a nice gift for you.
Ross: (20) Hey you guys.
Monica: Hey.
Ross: Uh, sweetie¹⁹ we've gotta go.
Rachel: NO!
Ross: No?
Rachel: No, why do we always have to do everything according to your time table²⁰?

Rachel: Ok, I just, (23) I just really need to be with myself right now. I'm sorry.

[Scene: Joey's apartment. Joey and Ross enter.]
Joey: What is it?
Ross: I, I don't know, (24) it's got all this stuff about wind and trees and there's some kind of sacred²³pool in it. I mean, I don't really get it but she's, she's pretty upset about it.
Joey: See, this is why I don't date women who read. Uh-oh.

Ross: But I don't know it. What I do know is that you owe $2300 at Isn't it Chromantic.
Joey: Hey Ross, I'm aware of³⁴what I owe.
Ross: (30) Ok, well then get some sense. I mean it took you what, 10 years to get that job, who knows how long it's gonna be till you get another.
Joey: Look, I don't wanna hear this right now.
Ross: Huh, I'm just saying...
Joey: Well don't just say.
Ross: Ya know, maybe, maybe I should just go.
Joey: Ok.
Ross: Ok. I'll see ya later. Just think about it, ok.

Eddie: Ah, just some basic dehydrating³⁶ of a few fruits and vegetables. (32) MAN ALIVE this thing's fantastic!
Chandler: Look Eddie, aren't you forgetting anything?
Eddie: Oh yeah, that's right, look I got us a new goldfish. He's a lot fiestier³⁷ that the last one.
Chandler: Maybe 'cause the last one was made by Pepperidge Farm. Look Eddie, isn't there something else you're supposed to be doing right now?
Eddie: Well, not unless (33) it's got something to do with dehydrating my man because right now I'm a dehydrating maniac³⁸!
Chandler: Look (34) you have to help me out here. I thought we had a deal. I thought by the time...
Eddie: Ah-ah-ah, you know what that is?
Chandler: Your last roommate's kidney³⁹?
Eddie: That's a tomato. (35) This one definitely goes in the display.

[Scene: Central Perk. Joey goes up to the bar to order.]
Joey: Hey Gunther, (36) let me get a lemonade⁴⁰ to go.
Gunther: Lemonade? You ok man?
Joey: Ah, it's career stuff. I don't know if you heard but they killed off my character on the show.
Ross: Oh, that's too bad. How'd they do it?
Joey: I fell down an elevator shaft⁴¹.
Ross: (37)That sucks. I was buried in an avalanche⁴².
Joey: What?
Ross: I used to be Bryce on All My Children.

[Scene: Monica and Rachel's apartment. Chandler is sleeping on the couch. Monica walks by and starts watching him.]

Monica: I wa-
Chandler: Uuuh.

[Scene: Chandler's apartment. Chandler is returning from Monica and Rachel's with his bedding. Eddie is standing at the bar with his dehydrator and loads of fruit.]
Eddie: (38) Hey man, check it out, I got some great stuff to dehydrate here. I got some grapes, got some apricots, I thought it would be really cool to see what happens with these water balloons.
Chandler: Get out. Get out, get out, get out, get out, get out, get out.
Eddie: What?
Chandler: You, move out. Take your fruit, your stupid small fruit and GET OUT!
Eddie: You, you want, you want me to move out?
Chandler: Uh-huh.
Eddie: I uh, I gotta tell you man, I mean, that's uh, (39) it's kinda out of the blue, I mean don't you think?
Chandler: This is not out of the blue, (40) this is smack dab⁴³ in the middle of the blue.
Eddie: Ohhhh. (41) Relax, take it easy buddy⁴⁴. Tell me twice, you want me to go? Alright, alright, (42) guess I'll be back for my stuff. (walks out the door and after a pause comes back in) But if you think for one second I'm leaving you alone with my fish, you're insane⁴⁵ Jack!
Chandler: You want some help.
Eddie: (43) No help required Chico. (reaches into the tank and grabs the fish and puts it in his pocket)

[Scene: Joey is at the cab driver interview.]
Joey: All the way to the airport huh? You know that's over 30 miles, that's gonna cost you about so bucks.
Casting guy: Excuse me, that's 50 bucks.
Joey: What?
Casting guy: Five oh dollars.
Joey: Ohh, you know what it is? It's smudgy⁴⁶ 'cause they're fax⁴⁷pages. Now when I was on Days of Our Lives as Dr. Drake Remoray, they'd send over the whole script⁴⁸ on real paper and everything.
Casting guy: That's great.
Joey: And, and just so you know, if you wanted to expand this scene like, like have the cab crash or somethin', I could attend⁴⁹ to the victims 'cause I have a background in medical acting.
Casting guy: Ok, listen, thanks for coming in.
Joey: No no, uh, don't thank me for comin' in. Uh, at least let me finish. Uh, we could take the expressway⁵⁰ but uh, this time of day you're better off ⁵¹taking the budge⁵². (44) You were goin' for the word bridge there weren't ya. I'll have a good day. (gets up and leaves)

[Scene: Monica and Rachel's apartment. Monica, Rachel, and Phoebe are sitting around the coffee table.]
Phoebe: Ok, question number 28, have you ever allowed a lightning bearer to take your wind? I would have to say no.
Monica: And I would have to say pah-huh.
Phoebe: What?
Monica: Do you not remember the puppet guy?
Rachel: Yeah (45) you like totally let him wash his feet in the pool of your inner power.
Monica: And his puppet too.
Phoebe: Yeah ok, well at least (46) I didn't let some guy into the forest of my righteous⁵³ truth on the first date.
Monica: Who?
Phoebe: Paul.
Monica: Oh.
Rachel: Ok, ok, ok, moving on, moving on, next question. Ok number 29, have you ever betrayed⁵⁴another goddess for a lightning bearer? Ok, number 30.
Monica: Woah, woah, woah, let's go back to 29.
Rachel: Not uh, (47) not to my recollection⁵⁵.
Monica: Huuh, alright, Danny Arshak, ninth grade. Oh, c'mon Rach, you know (48) the bottle was totally pointing at me.
Rachel: Only 'cause (49) you took up half the circle.
Phoebe: Listen to you two. It's so sad. Looks like I'm gonna be going to the goddess meetings alone.
Rachel: Well not when they find out you slept with Jason Hurley an hour after he broke up with Monica.
Monica: One hour? You are such a leaf blower⁵⁶.
(Monica goes into her room and slams the door. Rachel does the same. Phoebe, without a door to slam ⁵⁷, opens a small chest ⁵⁸ and slams the lid.)

[Scene: Joey's apartment. Joey is watching movers take all his stuff away.]
Joey: Oh hey uh, be careful with that 3-D last supper, Judas is a little loose⁵⁹.
Ross: (enters) Oh my God, what's goin' on?
Joey: They're takin all my stuff back. I guess you were right.
Ross: No look I wasn''t right, that's what I came here to tell you. (50) I was totally hung up on, on my own stuff. Listen, (51) I'm someone who needs the whole security thing, ya know. To know exactly where my next paycheck⁶⁰ is coming from but you, you don't need that and that's amazing to me. I could never do what you do Joey.
Joey: Thanks Ross.
Ross: Yeah. And (52) you should hold out for something bigger. I can't tell you how much respect I have for you not going to that stupid cab driver audition.
Joey: I went.
Ross: Great, how did it go?
Joey: I didn't get it.
Ross: (53) Good for you.
Joey: What?
Ross: (54) You're livin' the dream.
Joey: Huh?
Ross: All right then.
Joey: [movers removing a glass parrot] Oh, not my parrot⁶¹.
Ross: What?
Joey: I can't watch this.
Ross: (approaching the mover holding the parrot) Hey hold on, hold on. How much for the uh, how much to save the bird?
Mover: 1200.
Ross: Dollars? You spent $1200 dollars on a plastic bird?
Joey: Uhhh, (55) I was an impulse⁶² buyer, near the register.
Ross: Go ahead, go ahead with the bird. Ok, do you have anything for around 200?
Mover: Uh, the dog. (points to a big porcelain greyhound⁶³)
Ross: Huh.
Mover: Yeah.
Ross: (56) I'll take it. My gift to you man.
Joey: Thanks Ross. I really like that bird though...I'll take the dog though.

[Scene: Central Perk. Monica and Phoebe are sitting ignoring each other. Rachel walks up with two pieces of cake.]
Rachel: Here are your cakes.
Monica: We didn't order cake.

Eddie: (enters) Check it out man, I tore it off⁶⁵ some mannequin⁶⁶ in the alley behind Macy's.
Monica: There is no alley behind Macy's.
Eddie: So I got it in the junior miss department, (58) big diff. Anyway check it out man, it's gonna make a hell of⁶⁷ a conversation piece at out next cocktail party, huh pal?
Chandler: Our next cocktail party?
Eddie: Yeah, you know, (59) put chips in it, we'll make like a chip chick⁶⁸.
Chandler: Eddie, do you remember yesterday?
Eddie: Uh yes, I think I vaguely⁶⁹ recall it.
Chandler: Do you remember talking to me yesterday?
Eddie: Uh, yes.
Chandler: So what happened?
Eddie: We took a road trip to Las Vegas man.
Chandler: Oh sweet Moses.
Monica: So on this road trip, did you guys win any money?
Eddie: Naah, I crapped out⁷⁰, but Mr. 21 over here he cleans up, 300 bucks, check it out he buys me these new shoes, sweet huh?
Monica: Nice.
Eddie: Yeah. (60) Well see ya upstairs. See ya pals.
Phoebe: Is anyone else starting to really like him?

[Scene: Hallway outside Chandler and Joey's apartment. Eddie walks up.]

Chandler: May I help you?
