[Scene: Central Perk, the whole gang is there as Joey enters]

RACHEL: Hey Joey, how'd the audition go?

JOEY: Incredible! I met the director this time and you'll never 
      believe who it was.

ALL: Who?

JOEY: All right. I'll give you one hint. Warren Beatty.

ALL: Wow!

JOEY: Yeah, there's just one thing that might be kind've a problem. 
      See, I, uh, had to kiss this guy.

CHANDLER: 'Cause he was just so darn cute.

JOEY: No, as part of the audition. See, I'm up for this part of this 
      guy, who the main guy kisses.

ROSS: Well, hey. You're an actor, I say you just suck it up and do it.
      (Rachel looks at him in disbelief) Or you just do it.

JOEY: I did do it, I'm a professional.

MONICA: Then what's the problem?

JOEY: See after the scene, Mr. Beatty comes up to me and says 'good 
      actor, bad kisser'. Can you believe that, me not a good kisser, 
      that's like, like Mother Theresa, not a good mother. 

PHOEBE: Well, come on, who cares what that guy thinks. What does 
        Warren Beatty know about kissing (Chandler and Monica, give 
        her a look that says 'think about it') Ooh.



OPENING CREDITS



[Scene: continued from earlier]

CHANDLER: Hey, what did your agent say?

JOEY: Yep, this kiss thing is defiantly a problem, Mr. Beatty wants 
      to see it again on Monday. Man, I gotta figure out what I'm 
      doing wrong. Oh, okay, one of you girls come over here and 
      kiss me.

MONICA: What, forget it!

RACHEL: Yeah, right.

JOEY: Come on, I need your help here.

PHOEBE: All right. I'll do it, I kissed him before I can do it again.

JOEY: You see this, this is a friend.

PHOEBE: Uh-huh, let's go. (they move in to kiss) Oh, wait I have gum. 
        Okay. (they kiss rather passionately) Good, very good, firm 
        but tender. I'd recommend you to a friend.

JOEY: Then I don't know what it is. What's the problem?

MONICA: Joey, you know, maybe your just not used to kissing men, 
        maybe you just tensed up a little, maybe that's what you need 
        to work on.

JOEY: Yeah, that makes sense. (looks at Ross)

ROSS: Over my dead body! (Joey looks at Chandler)

CHANDLER: And I'll be using his dead body as a shield.


[Scene: Monica and Rachel's, Phoebe, Monica, and Richard are there]

ROSS: (entering from Rachel's bedroom) Come on out, honey! I'm 
      telling you look good! (turns around, and under his breath, 
      to the rest of the guys) Tell her she looks good, tell her she 
      looks good.


(Rachel enters in this hideous pink bride's maid dress, with a 
huge silver bow on her chest, and a big, huge skirt, kinda like 
the one's women wore in the 1800s, Monica and Richard both stare 
in shock)

PHOEBE: (laughing) Oh my God, you look so good!

RACHEL: I can not believe I have to walk down the aisle in front 
        of 200 people looking like something you drink when your 
        nauseous. 

ROSS: So don't, I don't see why we have to go to this thing anyway, 
      it's your ex-fiancee's wedding.

RACHEL: Because I promised Mindy I would.

MONICA: Yeah, well you promised Barry, you'd marry him. (Rachel 
        glares at her, and she retreats to safety between Richard's 
        legs)

RACHEL: Look you guys, I have to go, I'm the Maid-of-Honor. And 
        besides you know what I just need to be in a room again with 
        these people and feel good about myself.


(Chandler enters, sees Rachel in the dress and starts laughing)

PHOEBE: Ooh-oh! Someone's wearing the same clothes they had on last 
        night. Someone get a little action?

CHANDLER: I may have.

MONICA: Woo-hoo, stuud!

ROSS: What's she look like?

CHANDLER: Well, we haven't exactly met, we just stayed up all night 
          talking on the internet.

MONICA: Woo-hoo, geeek!

CHANDLER: I like this girl, okay, I seriously like this girl, you now
          how sometimes I tend get a little defended and quipy...

ROSS: Get out!

RACHEL: Nooo!

MONICA: Please!

CHANDLER: Well she totally called me on it, okay. She said, 'cut it 
          out, get real', and I did.

RACHEL: Wow! What's that like?

CHANDLER: It's like this, me, no jokes.

PHOEBE: All right, stop it, you're freaking me out.

RICHARD: Oh, yeah, I don't like you this way. All right, I'll see 
         you guys later.

ALL: Bye, Richard.

MONICA: Bye sweetie, (kisses him) I love you.

RICHARD: I love you, too.


(Monica stares longingly at the door, after Richard leaves)

PHOEBE: I think my boyfriend ever so dreamy, I wonder what our 
        wedding's gonna be like.

MONICA: What are you talking about? What wedding?

PHOEBE: Come on, like you never talk that.

MONICA: Nooo! Never! I mean, we're living in the moment. God, it is 
        so nice for once to not have to get all hung up on 'Where 
        is this going?'

RACHEL: Afraid to ask him?

MONICA: Could not be more terrified.

CHANDLER: Well, I think you should seriously consider the marriage 
          thing, give Rachel another chance to dress up like 
          Princess Bubble Yum.


[Scene: Monica and Rachel's, Richard and Monica are playing with Ben.]

MONICA: (holding up a blanket) Where's Benny? (drops the blanket) 
        There he is! (does it again) Where's Benny, there he is.

RICHARD: Awww! You know that's probably why babies learn to talk, 
         so they can tell grown ups to cut it out.

MONICA: Hey, you know I got a question for ya. Just a little thing, 
        no pressure. 

RICHARD: Okay.

MONICA: Did you ever, uh, like, think about the future?

RICHARD: Sure I do.

MONICA: Yeah, am I in it?

RICHARD: Honey, you are in it.

MONICA: Oh God, you are about to get sooo lucky.

RICHARD: Oh, yeah!

MONICA: Keep talkin'.

RICHARD: Well, uh, sometimes I think about selling my practice, we 
         could move to France, make French toast.

MONICA: Okay, so, uh, we're in France, we're making the toast. Do 
        you see a little bassinet in the corner?

RICHARD: Like a hound?

MONICA: Not a basset, a bassinet.

RICHARD: You really need the bassinet?

MONICA: Well, I just think the baby would keep falling off the dog. 
        Do you, uh, do you , do you not see kids in our future.

RICHARD: Oh, hey. I love children, I have children. I just don't 
         want to be 70 when our kids go off to college, and our 
         lives can finally start.

MONICA: Uh-huh.

RICHARD: Look I want you, now.

MONICA: That's Great. You know we don't need to talk about this now. 
        Really, I mean this is, is so way, way, way, in the future, 
        I'm talkin' hovercrafts and apes taking over the planet.


[Scene: Chandler and Joey's, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe are there, 
Chandler is talking to his new friend on the internet.]

JOEY: Come on, Chandler, I want this part soo much. (Chandler 
      ignores him) Just one kiss, I won't tell anyone.

CHANDLER: Joey, no means no!


[Rachel, in her bridesmaid dress, complete with hat, which makes her 
look like Little Bo Peep, and Ross enter]

RACHEL: Hey!

CHANDLER: I'm sorry we, we don't have your sheep.

JOEY: Aww, Rach, I think you look cute (kisses her on the cheek, 
      then looks at Ross) And you, uh, you, you I could eat with 
      a spoon (goes to kiss him).

ROSS: Get away from me I said no!

MONICA: (entering) Richard buzzed. He's waiting downstairs.

JOEY: Oh, Richard's here. I should run down say bye to him (runs out)

ALL: Bye.

PHOEBE: Bye, good luck.

(Rachel, Ross, and Monica exit)

PHOEBE: So how's your date with your cyberchick going. Ooh, hey, what 
        is all that (points at the computer screen).

CHANDLER: Oh, it's a website, it's the, uh, the Guggenheim (sp?, 
          I'm not an art guy) museum. See, she likes art, and I 
          like funny words.

PHOEBE: What does she mean by HH?

CHANDLER: (shyly) It means we're holding hands.

PHOEBE: Are you the cutest?

CHANDLER: I'm afraid I might just be.

PHOEBE: You know, what I think is so great that you are totally into 
        this person and yet for all you know she could be like 90 
        years old, or have two heads, or. It could be a guy.

CHANDLER: Okay, it's not a guy, all right, I know her.

PHOEBE: It could be like a big giant guy.

JOEY: (entering) Man, I got this close to him (holds up his fingers) 
      and Monica kneed me in the back. What's going on?

PHOEBE: We were just wondering if Chandler's girlfriend is a girl.

JOEY: Oh, well. Just ask her how long she's gonna live. Women live 
      longer than men.

CHANDLER: How do you not fall down more?

PHOEBE: Okay, ask her 'What is her current method of birth control?'

CHANDLER: All right. (reading her answer) "My husband is sleeping 
          with his secretary." She's married! 

PHOEBE: Well at least we know she's a woman.

CHANDLER: I can't believe she's married.

JOEY: Aw, man I'm sorry (starts rubbing Chandler's shoulder). This 
      must be very tough for ya, huh (and starts comfroting him 
      looking for a kiss).


[Scene: Barry and Mindy's wedding, Monica and Richard are standing in the lobby]

MONICA: So, I read this article in the paper the other day that says 
        you're not supposed to throw rice at weddings, because when 
        pigeons eat rice it kills them.

RICHARD: Oh, that's why you never see pigeons at sushi bars.(they 
         both start laughing at Richard's poor joke) See, we're 
         having fun.

MONICA: Oh, absolutely. Yeah, you know I'm not even thinking about 
        that thing that we're not supposed to think about.

RICHARD: Neither am I.


[Scene: later the bridesmaids and ushers are getting ready to start, 
Ross is looking for Rachel]

ROSS: Hey, there. 

RACHEL: Hi.

ROSS: Are you all right?

RACHEL: Yeah, when I was in the bathroom I saw the window that I 
        crawled out of at my wedding, and God, I just started 
        thinking that I shouldn't be here, you know I shouldn't, 
        people are going to be looking at me and judging me and, 
        and thinking about the last time.

ROSS: Sweetie, it's be gonna okay, all right. It's a wedding, 
      generally people focus on the bride.

RACHEL: God I know, you're right.

(Annoying wedding planner enters)

WEDDING PLANNER: All rightie, everybody look at me. Good. All right, 
                 its time. Bridesmaids and ushers let's see two 
                 lines, thank you.

RACHEL: Okay, I'll see you after the thing.

ROSS: Okay, good luck (kisses her and leaves)

RACHEL: Thank you, Okay, Okay. 


[Starts to walk down the aisle, unfortunately she doesn't realize 
that her dress is bunched up in her underwear and her butt is 
showing.]



COMMERCIAL BREAK



[Scene: after the wedding, Ross and Rachel are in the lobby]

RACHEL: Why the hell didn't you tell me!

ROSS: I'm sorry. What was I supposed to do stand up and shout 'Hey, 
      Rachel, your butt is showing!'

RACHEL: Oh my God this is sooo humiliating. I think the only thing 
        that tops that was, was, was when I was in the eight grade 
        and I had to sing the Copa Cabana in front of the entire 
        school. I think I got about two lines into it before I ran 
        and freaked out. Oh my God, my entire life is flashing before 
        my eyes.

ROSS: Rach, hey look, I remember that, it wasn't so bad.

RACHEL: Oh Ross, would you stop, you got me, I'm dating you.

MR. WINEBURG: Rachel!

RACHEL: Oh hi, Mr. Wineburg, hi Mrs. Wineburg.

MR. WINEBURG: It's so wonderful to see you again, my dear, in fact 
              I hardly expected to see so much.

MRS. WINEBURG: You told me you didn't see anything.

MR. WINEBURG: I tell ya a lot things!

MRS. WINEBURG: Well it's wonderful to have you up and about, again, 
               dear.

MR. WINEBURG: Stay well.

RACHEL: Okay, now that is the third time someone has said something 
        like that to me today.

MINDY: (entering) Rach! Rach!

RACHEL: Oh, hi!

MINDY: Oh my God, I'm married!

RACHEL: I know.

MINDY: I'm Mrs. Dr. Barry Hunter hyphen Farber.

RACHEL: Oh honey, I'm so proud of you, Min.

BARRY: (entering) Min. Oh Rach, you're still here, at our wedding, 
       they were packing up the chopped liver about now.

RACHEL: Yeah, I love that story. Um, I got a question for you guys. 
        Why do people keep is saying that is good to see me up and 
        about?

MINDY: Well uh, after you ran out on your wedding, Barry's parents 
       told people that you were sort of....insane.

RACHEL: Insane!

MINDY: ...from the syphilis.

RACHEL: What?!

BARRY: Yeah, what are they gonna say you didn't love me anymore. 
       Come on.


[Scene: Chandler and Joey's, Phoebe, Chandler, and Joey are there, 
Joey is on the phone.]

JOEY: Angela? Joey Tribiani. Listen, what are ya doing tonight. 
      I know your seeing that guy I was thinking maybe you could 
      bring him.....Hello? Hello? (picks up a statue of an Indian
      and walks into his room)

(the computer bing, bongs)

PHOEBE: Aren't you gonna answer her, that's like the tenth bing-bong 
        message she sent. She wants to know what's wrong?

CHANDLER: What's wrong? What's wrong? You're married that's what's 
          wrong.

(bing, bong)

PHOEBE: Oh, my.

CHANDLER: What?

PHOEBE: She wants to meet you in person.

CHANDLER: Hey, look, Phoebe I wanted to meet her in person too, okay, 
          but she's married, she has a husband.

PHOEBE: What if the husband person is the wrong guy, and you are the 
        right guy. I mean you don't get chances like this all the 
        time, if you don't meet her now, you're gonna be kicking 
        yourself when your 80, which is hard to do, and that's how 
        you break a hip.

CHANDLER: Okay, I'll do it!

PHOEBE: Oh, yeah! Okay! Great! Go, man, go put on your shoes, and, 
        and march out there and meet her! (Chandler runs and picks 
        up his shoes) Oh, wait, no, no you have to take a shower, 
        'cause, eww. (Chandler runs to the bathroom, as the computer 
        bing-bongs) No, you know what you have to answer her, answer
        her first. (Chandler runs to the computer) No, no, you know 
        what make some coffee 'cause its too much. (Chandler walks 
        slowly into the kitchen)


[Scene: at Barry and Mindy's reception, Monica and Richard are 
sitting at a table, and Monica is trying to throw a piece of candy 
into his mouth.]

MONICA: Okay, one more, please. Come on, I'm gonna get it in this 
        time, I will.

RICHARD: Okay, last chance. (Monica throws the candy and hits some 
         woman in the back of the head, Richard turns around and 
         says) Again, I'm sorry.

MONICA: You know what, maybe I don't need to have children. You 
        know maybe I just think I do because that is what society, 
        and by that I mean my mom, has always convinced me that I...
        (sees two little girls dancing together) I do, I have to 
        have children, I'm sorry, I just do.

BEST MAN: (standing up) Yo! Can I have your attention, please, Best 
          Man, making a toast here. Thank you. (clears throat, and 
          starts reading his toast) I remember when Barry got home 
          from his first date with Rachel...

ALL: What?!

BEST MAN: What, (to Barry) you hired the same band I can't use the 
          same speech. (gets a 'da-doom-chesh' from the drummer) 
          Thank you, thank you very much. Anyway, I wish you both 
          a wonderful life together. And Rachel...

RACHEL: What.

BEST MAN: No, no, no now in all seriousness, its not a lot of 
          women would've had the guts to come back here tonight, 
          and even fewer, who would do it with their asses hanging 
          out! (da-doom-chesh)

ROSS: (standing up) Uh, I like to, uh, to add something to that...

RACHEL: Why are you adding, why are you adding, why are you adding, 
        why are you adding?

ROSS: Most of you don't know me, I'm Rachel's boyfriend.

RACHEL: Oh dear God.

ROSS: Ross, uh and uh, I'd just like to say that it did take a lot 
      of courage for Rachel to come here tonight. And, uh, for the 
      record she did not run out on Barry because she had syphilis. 
      (da-doom-chesh) (to drummer) What are you doing I'm serious. 
      Uh, the reason she walked out on, on Barry is simply that she 
      didn't love him, which incidentally worked out pretty well 
      for me (looks for the da-doom-chesh, and doesn't get one) Cheers.

RACHEL: (to Ross) See you in the parking lot.

ROSS: (runs after her) No, Rach!

BARRY: And once again she is out of here. Okay who had 9:45? Um?

RACHEL: (after a pause with everyone staring at her, she goes up to 
        the microphone) Ya, know what Barr, I'm not gonna leave. 
        I probably should, but I'm not, see 'cause I promised myself
        that I would make it through at least *one* of your weddings 
        (da-doom-chesh). See now, tonight, all I really wanted was to 
        make it though this evening with a little bit of grace and 
        dignity. Well (laughing), I guess we can all agree that's 
        not gonna happen. There's nothing really left to say 
        except....(starts singing) "Her name was Lola. She was a 
        showgirl. With yellow feathers (band joins in), feathers in 
        her hair, and a dress cut down to there. She would..."

ROSS: Marenge,

RACHEL: (singing) "...marenge, thank you honey, and do the cha-cha. 
        And while she like to be a star, Tony always tended bar. At 
        the, wait, wait, everybody.."

ROSS: Everybody!

RACHEL: At the Copa, Copa Cabana (everyone joins in) The hottest 
        spot north of Havana. At the Copa, Coo-pa Ca-ban-a, music 
        and fashion were always the passion, at the Copa....


[Scene: later, Richard and Monica are dancing]

RICHARD: Okay, I'll do it.

MONICA: You'll do what?

RICHARD: If kids is what I takes to be with you then kids it is.

MONICA: Oh my God!

RICHARD: If I have to I'll, I'll do all again , I'll do the 4 
         o'clock feeding thing, I'll go to the P.T.A. meetings, 
         I'll coach the soccer team.

MONICA: Really?

RICHARD: Yeah, if I have to. Monica, I don't wanna lose you, so if 
         I have to do it all over again, then I will.

MONICA: You're the most wonderful man. And if you hadn't of said 
        'if I have to' like seventeen times, then I'd be saying 
        'okay, let's do it.'

RICHARD: But you're not.

MONICA: Oh my God, I can't believe what I'm getting ready to say. 
        I wanna have a baby, but I don't wanna have one with someone 
        who doesn't really wanna have one.

RICHARD: God. I love you.

MONICA: I know you do. Me too. (pause) So what now?

RICHARD: I guess we just keep dancing.


[Scene: Central Perk, Chandler, Rachel, Ross, Joey, and Phoebe are 
there waiting for Chandler's cyberchick to arrive]

CHANDLER: Where is she, Where is she? (grabs Rachel) Oh, hey, I have 
          a question, where is she?

RACHEL: Chandler, relax, Chandler, she'll be here.

CHANDLER: (noticing a beautiful blond walking in) Ooh, oh, oh, 
          that's her.

ROSS: (seeing her also) Yeah, 'cause life's just that kind.

PHOEBE: Chandler, you gotta stop staring at the door. It's like a 
        watched pot, you know if you keep looking at it then the 
        door is to, never gonna boil. I think what you have to do is 
        try not to...


(Chandler's date walks in)

CHANDLER: Oh my God! (it's Janice)

JANICE: OH.....MY.....GAWD!! (Chandler rushes over and kisses her)

ALL: OH.....MY.....GOD!!



CLOSING CREDITS



[Scene: Chandler and Joey's, Joey is reading a script as Ross enters]

ROSS: All right I've been feeling incredibly guilty about this, 
      because I wanna be a good friend, and dammit I am a good 
      friend. So just, just shut up and close your eyes (kisses Joey).

JOEY: Wow, you are a good friend, 'course the audition was this 
      morning, and I didn't get it. But that was a hell of a kiss. 
      Rachel is a very lucky girl.
