PRE-INTRO SCENE: RACHEL+MONICA'S APARTMENT (ALL PRESENT)
CHANDLER: I can't believe you would actually say that. I would much
rather be Mr.Peanut than Mr.Salty.
JOEY: No way! Mr.Salty is a sailor, all right, he's got to be,
like, thetoughest snack there is.
ROSS: I don't know, you don't wanna mess with corn nuts. They're
craaazy.
MONICA: (LOOKING OUT OF WINDOW) Oh my God. You guys! You gotta
come see this! There's some creep out there with a telescope!
ROSS: I can't believe it! He's looking right at us!
RACHEL: Oh, that is so sick.
CHANDLER: I feel violated. And not in a good way.
PHOEBE: How can people do that?... (ALL BUT PHOEBE WALK AWAY FROM
THE WINDOW IN DISGUST) Oh, you guys, look! Ugly Naked Guy
got gravity boots!
OPENING TITLES
SCENE 1: CENTRAL PERK (ALL PRESENT EXCEPT RACHEL)
CHANDLER: I am telling you, years from now, schoolchildren will
study it as one of the greatest first dates of all time.
It was unbelievable! We could totally be ourselves, we
didn't have to play any games...
MONICA: So have you called her yet?
CHANDLER: Let her know I like her? What are you, insane? (THE GIRLS
MAKE DISGUSTED NOISES) It's the next day! How needy do I
want to seem? (TO THE GUYS) I'm right, right?
JOEY+ROSS: Oh, yeah. Yeah. Let her dangle.
MONICA: I can't believe my parents are actually pressuring me to
find one of you people.
PHOEBE: Oh, God, just do it! (GETTING PHONE) Call her! Stop being so
testosteroney!
CHANDLER: Which, by the way, is the real San Francisco treat. (CALLS
HER, THEN HURRIEDLY HANGS UP) I got her machine.
JOEY: Her answer machine?
CHANDLER: No, interestingly enough her leaf blower picked up.
PHOEBE: So, uh, why didn't you say anything?
CHANDLER: Oh, no no no no. Last time I left a spontaneous message
I ended up using the phrase 'Yes indeedy-o'.
MONICA: Look look! It's Rachel and Barry. No, don't everybody look at
once!
ROSS: Okay, okay, what's going on?
PHOEBE: Okay, they're just talking...
ROSS: Yeah, well, does he look upset? Does he look like he was just
told to shove anything?
PHOEBE: No, no actually, he's smiling.. and... Oh my God, don't do
that!!
ROSS: What? What? What?!
PHOEBE: That man across the street just kicked that pigeon!
(ENTER RACHEL) Oh!
CHANDLER: (BLUFFING) And basically, that's how a bill becomes a law.
ALL: Oh!... Right!
CHANDLER: Hey Rach!
MONICA: How'd it go?
RACHEL: Y'know, it was, uh.. it was actually really great. He took
me to lunch at the Russian Tea Room, and I had that chicken,
where y'know you poke it and all the butter squirts out...
PHOEBE: Not a good day for birds...
RACHEL: Then we took a walk down to Bendall's, and I told him not
to, but he got me a little bottle of Chanel...
ROSS: That's nice... now, was that before or after you told him to
stop calling, stop sending you flowers and to generally leave
you alone, hmm?
RACHEL: Right,.. well,.. we never actually got to that... Oh, it was
just so nice to see him again, y'know? It was comfortable,
it was familiar... it was just nice!
ROSS: That's, that's nice twice!
MONICA: Rachel, what's going on? I mean isn't this the same Barry
who you left at the altar?
JOEY: Duh, where've you been?
RACHEL: Yeah, but it was different with him today! And he wasn't,
like, Orthodontist Guy, y'know? I mean, we had fun! Is there
anything wrong with that?
(ROSS 'PROMPTS' CHANDLER BY HITTING HIM ON THE ARM)
CHANDLER: Yes!
RACHEL: Why?
CHANDLER: I have my reasons.
MONICA: Okay, how about the fact that he's engaged to another woman,
who just happens to be your ex- best friend?
RACHEL: All right. All right all right all right all right, I know
it's stupid! I will go see him this afternoon, and I will
just put an end to it!
(QUICK CUT TO THE POST-COITAL RACHEL AND BARRY IN BARRY'S SURGERY)
RACHEL: Wow... Wow!
BARRY: Yeah.
RACHEL: I'm not crazy, right? I mean, it was never like that.
BARRY: Nooo, it wasn't.
RACHEL: Ooh, and it's so nice having this little sink here...
SCENE 2: RACHEL+MONICA'S APARTMENT (ALL PRESENT EXCEPT RACHEL)
CHANDLER: (ON PHONE; READING FROM A SCRIPT) Oh, Danielle! I wasn't
expecting the machine... Give me a call when you get a
chance. (RATTLES SOME DISHES) Bye bye. (HANGS UP) Oh God!
MONICA: THAT's what you've been working on for the past two hours?!
CHANDLER: Hey, I've been honing!
ROSS: What was with the dishes?
CHANDLER: Oh, uh.. I want her to think I might be in a restaurant..
y'know? I might have some kind of life, like I haven't
been sitting around here honing for the past few hours.
MONICA: (RE WINDOW) Look look! He's doing it again, the guy with the
telescope!
PHOEBE: Oh my God! (WALKS TO WINDOW) Go away! (GESTICULATING) Stop
looking in here!
MONICA: Great, now he's waving back.
JOEY: Man, we gotta do something about that guy. This morning,
I caught him looking into our apartment. It creeps me out! I
feel like I can't do stuff!
MONICA: What kinda stuff..?
JOEY: Will you grow up? I'm not talking about sexy stuff, but,
like, when I'm cooking naked.
PHOEBE: You cook naked?
JOEY: Yeah, toast, oatmeal... nothing that spatters.
(A PAUSE AS THEY LOOK AT CHANDLER)
CHANDLER: What are you looking at me for? I didn't know that.
SCENE 3: BARRY'S SURGERY (RACHEL AND BARRY ARE GETTING DRESSED)
BARRY: What's the matter?
RACHEL: Oh, it's just... Oh, Barry, this was not good.
BARRY: No, it was. It was very very good.
RACHEL: Well, what about Mindy?
BARRY: Oh, way, way better than Mindy.
RACHEL: No, not that, I mean, what about you and Mindy?
BARRY: Well, if you want, I'll just- I'll just break it off
with her.
RACHEL: No. No no no no, no. I mean, don't do that. Not, I mean
not for me.
BERNICE: (OVER INTERCOM) Dr. Farber, Bobby Rush is here for his
adjustment.
BARRY: (INTO INTERCOM) Thanks, Bernice. (TO RACHEL) Let's go away
this weekend.
RACHEL: Oh, Barry..! Come on, this is all way too..
BARRY: We can, we can go to Aruba! When I went there on what
would have been our honeymoon, it was, uh... it was really
nice. You would've liked it.
(PAUSE AS RACHEL REALISES...)
RACHEL: I had a bra.
(BARRY FINDS IT DRAPED ON A CUPBOARD AND GIVES IT TO RACHEL.
THEY KISS. ENTER BOBBY)
BOBBY: Hey, Dr. Farber.
(RACHEL AND BARRY QUICKLY SPLIT AND PRETEND BARRY IS EXAMINING
RACHEL'S MOUTH)
BARRY: All right Miss Green, everything looks fine... Yep, I
think we're starting to see some real progress here.
(BOBBY LOOKS ON, DEADPAN)
RACHEL: What?!
BOBBY: I'm twelve, I'm not stupid.
(RACHEL GIVES HIM A LOOK)
SCENE 4: RACHEL+MONICA'S (ENTER CHANDLER CLUTCHING PHONE)
CHANDLER: Can I use your phone?
MONICA: Yeah.. uh, but for future reference, that thing in your
hand can also be used as a phone.
(CHANDLER DIALS HIS OWN PHONE. IT RINGS)
CHANDLER: Yes, it's working! Why isn't she calling me back?
JOEY: Maybe she never got your message.
PHOEBE: Y'know, if you want, you can call her machine, and if she
has a lot of beeps, that means she probably didn't get her
messages yet.
CHANDLER: Y'don't think that makes me seem a little...
ROSS: ...desperate, needy, pathetic?
CHANDLER: Ah, you obviously saw my personal ad.
(HE CALLS)
PHOEBE: How many beeps?
CHANDLER: She answered.
MONICA: Y'see, this is where you'd use that 'hello' word we talked
about.
CHANDLER: I'm not gonna talk to her, she obviously got my message
and is choosing not to call me. Now I'm needy and snubbed.
God, I miss just being needy.
(ENTER RACHEL)
ALL: Hey! Hi!
PHOEBE: How'd he take it?
RACHEL: Pretty well, actually... (WANDERING INTO KITCHEN)
MONICA: (WANDERING IN AFTER HER) Uh, Rach... how come you have
dental floss in your hair?
RACHEL: Oh, do I?
MONICA: Uh huh.
RACHEL: (LOW VOICE)....We ended up having sex in his chair.
MONICA: You had SEX in his CHAIR?!... I said that a little too
loudly, didn't I?
ROSS: You- you had what?
PHOEBE: Sex in his chair.
ROSS: What, uh... what were you thinking?
RACHEL: I don't know! I mean, we still care about each other.
There's a history there. 'S'like you and Carol.
ROSS: No! No no, it is nothing like me and Carol!
RACHEL: Please. If she said to you, "Ross, I want you on this couch,
right here, right now", what would you say?
(ROSS FLOUNDERS)
CHANDLER: If it helps, I could slide over.
ROSS: It's, it's, it's, uh, a totally diferent situation! It's,
it's apples and oranges, it's, it's orthodontists and
lesbi- I gotta go.
PHOEBE: Where are you going?
ROSS: (GOING) I just have to go, all right? Do I need a reason?
Huh? I mean I have things to do with my life, I have a jam
packed schedule, and I am late- for keeping up with it. Okay?
(EXIT ROSS. A PHONE RINGS. CHANDLER DIVES FOR HIS PHONE)
CHANDLER: Hello? Hello?
(RACHEL PICKS UP THEIR PHONE.. AND THE RINGING STOPS. AS SHE TALKS
ON THE PHONE, AN ELABORATE VISUAL GAG IS SPUN OUT WHICH IS TOO
DIFFICULT TO DESCRIBE IN WORDS)
RACHEL: Hello? Mindy! Hi! Hey, how are you? Yes, yes, I've heard,
congratulations, that is so great. Really? Oh. Okay. Okay,
well I'm working tomorrow, but if you want you can, you can,
you can come by and... okay... great... great... all right,
so I'll, so I'll see you tomorrow! Okay.. okay... bye.
(SITS DOWN HEAVILY) Oh God. Oh God. Oh God.
CHANDLER: So how's Mindy?
RACHEL: Oh, she wants to see me tomorrow...Oh, she sounded really
weird, I gotta call Barry... (DOES SO) Hi, it's me, I just..
Mindy!! Mindy! Hi! No, I figured that's where you'd be!
(AD BREAK)

AT HIS PHONE)
(ENTER MONICA, WHO CREEPS UP NEXT TO CHANDLER)
MONICA: Brrrrrrr!
(CHANDLER CLUTCHES AT HIS PHONE BEFORE REALISING)
CHANDLER: Hell is filled with people like you.
(ENTER JOEY)
JOEY: He's back! The peeper's back!
(ENTER RACHEL FROM HER BEDROOM)
JOEY: (DUCKING) Get down!
RACHEL: Get down?
CHANDLER: ...And boogie!
RACHEL: Thanks, but I gotta go to work and get my eyes scratched
out by Mindy.
MONICA: Relax. Y'know, she may not even know.
RACHEL: Please. I haven't heard from her in seven months, and
now she calls me? I mean, what else is it about? Oh! She
was my best friend, you guys! We went to camp together...
she taught me how to kiss..
JOEY: (INTRIGUED) Yeah?
RACHEL: And now, y'know, I'm like... I'm like the other woman! I
feel so..
JOEY: ..Naughty!
RACHEL: Right, I'll see you guys later...
JOEY: Oh, hold up, I'll walk out with you. Now, Rach, when she
taught you to kiss, you were at camp, and.. were you wearing
any kinda little uniform, or- (EXIT RACHEL, SLAMMING DOOR IN
HIS FACE) That's fine, yeah...
(EXIT JOEY)
CHANDLER: Okay, I'm gonna go to the bathroom. Will you watch
my phone?
MONICA: Why don't you just take it with you?
CHANDLER: Hey, we haven't been on a second date, she needs to
hear me pee?
MONICA: Why don't you just call her?
CHANDLER: I can't call her, I left a message! I have some pride.
MONICA: Do you?
CHANDLER: No! (CALLS) Danielle, hi! It's, uh, it's Chandler! I'm
fine. Uh, listen, I don't know if you tried to call me,
because, uh, idiot that I am, I accidentally shut off my
phone. Oh, uh, okay, that's fine, that's great. Okay.
(PUTS DOWN PHONE) She's on the other line, she's gonna call
me back. (DOES A LITTLE JIG) She's on the other line, she's
gonna call me back, she's on the other line, gonna call me back...
MONICA: Don't you have to pee?
CHANDLER: 'S'why I'm dancing...
SCENE 6: CENTRAL PERK (RACHEL IS SERVING COFFEE. ENTER MINDY)
RACHEL: Mindy.
MINDY: Hey, you.
RACHEL: Hey, you.... So, what's up?
MINDY: Um.. we should really be sitting for this.
RACHEL: Sure we should... So.
MINDY: Now- I know things've been weird lately, but you're like my
oldest friend in the world.. except for maybe Laurie Schaffer,
who I don't talk to anywhere, 'cause she's all bitter now that
she lost the weight and it turns out she doesn't have a
pretty face. ....Okay, I'm just gonna ask you this once,
and I want a straight answer.
RACHEL: Okay.
MINDY: Will you be my maid of honour?
RACHEL: Of course!
MINDY: Oh that's so great!
RACHEL: Was that all you wanted to ask me?
MINDY: That's all!
RACHEL: Ohhhh!! (MINDY STARTS TO SOB) ...What? What?
MINDY: That's not all.
RACHEL: Oh sure it is!
MINDY: Oh no, it isn't! No! I think Barry is seeing someone in
the city.
RACHEL: Um, what- what would make you think that?
MINDY: Well, ever since we announced the engagement, he's been
acting really weird, and then last night, he came home
smelling like Chanel.
RACHEL: (DRAWS BACK) Really. Mindy, if it'll make you feel any
better, when I was engaged to him he went through a whole
weird thing too.
MINDY: Oh God! You see, that's what I was afraid of!
RACHEL: What? What's what you were afraid of?
MINDY: Okay, okay... when Barry was engaged to you, he and I- kind
of- had a little thing on the side.
RACHEL: What?
MINDY: I know. I know, and when he proposed to me, everyone said
"Don't do it, he's just gonna do to you what he did to
Rachel", and- now I feel so stupid.
RACHEL: Uh.. Oh, Mindy, you are so stupid. Oh, we are both so
stupid.
MINDY: What do you mean?
RACHEL: (OFFERS HER ARM TO MINDY. SHE SNIFFS) Smell familiar?
MINDY: Oh no.
RACHEL: Oh, I am so sorry.
MINDY: No me, I am so sorry...
(THEY HUG. ENTER JOEY)

(ENTER JOEY)
JOEY: Hey, you know our phone's not working?
CHANDLER: What?!
JOEY: I tried to call you from the coffee shop, and there was no
answer.
CHANDLER: (INVESTIGATING) I turned it off. Mother of God, I turned
it off!
MONICA: Just like you told her you did! (CHANDLER GIVES HER A
LOOK) ... Just pointing out the irony.
JOEY: Hey, so listen, I went across the street and talked to the
doorman- I got the peeper's name! Can I use the phone?
CHANDLER: Nngghhh!!!!!!!
JOEY: (TO MONICA) Can I use your phone? (ON PHONE) Yeah, the
number for a Sidney Marks, please.
ROSS: "Heating device".
PHOEBE: Radiator.
ROSS: Five letters.
PHOEBE: Rdtor.
JOEY: Yeah, is Sidney there? Oh, this is? (TO THE GANG) Sidney's
a woman.
MONICA: So she's a woman! So what?
JOEY: Yeah. Yeah, so what? (TO PHONE) Look, I live across the
street, (WALKING TO WINDOW) and I know all about you and your
little telescope, and I don't appreciate it, okay? Yeah,
I can see you right now! Hello! If I wanna walk around my
apartment in my underwear, I shouldn't have to feel like-
Thank you, but... that's not really the point... The point
is that... mostly free weights, but occasionally..
MONICA: Joey!!
JOEY: (STILL ON PHONE) Yeah, my neighbour... Yeah, the brunette...
(TO MONICA) She says you looked very pretty the other day
in the green dress.
MONICA: The green dress? Really?
JOEY: Yeah, she said you looked like Ingrid Bergman that day.
MONICA: (WAVES DISMISSIVELY TO SIDNEY) Nooo!

RACHEL: Hey. Got a second?
BARRY: Sure, sure. Come on... (ENTER MINDY) ...in...
MINDY: Hello, sweetheart.
BARRY: Uh... uh... what're'you... what're'you guys doing here?
RACHEL: Uh, we are here to break up with you.
BARRY: Both of you?
MINDY: Basically, we think you're a horrible human being, and bad
things should happen to you.
BARRY: I'm sorry... I'm sorry, God, I am so sorry, I'm an idiot,
I was weak, I couldn't help myself! Whatever I did, I only
did because I love you so much!
RACHEL: Uh- which one of us are you talking to there, Barr?
BARRY: ....Mindy. Mindy, of course Mindy, it was always Mindy.
RACHEL: Even when we were having sex in that chair?
BARRY: (TO MINDY) I swear, whatever I was doing, I was always
thinking of you.
RACHEL: Please! During that second time you couldn't have picked
her out of a lineup!
MINDY: (TO RACHEL) You did it twice?
RACHEL: Well, the first time didn't really count... I mean, y'know,
's'Barry.
MINDY: Okay...
BARRY: (TO MINDY) Sweetheart, just gimme- gimme another chance,
okay, we'll start all over again. We'll go back to Aruba.
BERNICE: (OVER INTERCOM) Dr. Farber, we've got a bit of an emergency
here...Jason Costalano is choking on his retainer.
BARRY: Oh God... (TO INTERCOM) I'll be right there, Bernice.
(TO MINDY) Look, please, please don't go anywhere, okay?
I'll be- I'll be right back.
(EXIT BARRY)
RACHEL: Okay. Okay, we'll be here! Hating you! Did you see how
he was sweating when he walked out of there? Listen honey,
if I'm hogging the ball too much you just jump right in
there and take a couple punches because I'm telling you,
this feels GREAT.
MINDY: Yeah... I'm pretty sure I'm still gonna marry him.
RACHEL: What are you talking about?! Mindy, the guy is the devil!
He's Satan in a smock!
MINDY: Look, I know he's not perfect, but the truth is, at the
end of the day, I still really wanna be Mrs. Dr. Barry
Farber, DDS.
RACHEL: Oh God.
MINDY: I hope you can find some way to be happy for me. And I hope
you'll still be my maid of honour...?
RACHEL: And I hope Barry doesn't kill you and eat you in Aruba.
SCENE 8: MONICA AND RACHEL'S (JUST MONICA AND RACHEL)
MONICA: You okay?
RACHEL: Yeah.

ALL: Hi. Hi.
CHANDLER: What are you doing here?
DANIELLE: Well, I've been calling you, but it turns out I had your
number wrong. And when I finally got the right one from
Information, there was no answer. So I thought I'd just
come down here, and make sure you were okay.
CHANDLER: ...I'm, I'm okay.
DANIELLE: Listen uh, maybe we could get together later?
CHANDLER: That sounds good. I'll call you- or you call me, whatever...

MONICA: Yeah, there you go!
ROSS: Second date!
CHANDLER: ...I dunno.
RACHEL: You DON'T KNOW?
CHANDLER: Well, she seems very nice and everything, but that whole
thing about her coming all the way down here, just to see
if I was okay? I mean,... how needy is that?
