MV02: T.O.W. The turtle named Party Boy.
Thanks for your nice comments! Hope you enjoy this one!
Disclaimer-These characters don't belong to me. Except Partyboy.(named after Chris Pontius)
Scene: Joey and Rachel's. Rachel is still on her TV and candy marathon. The show she is watching is "The Today Show." She is sitting in the lazy boy with a big bag of Hershey's kisses in her lap. Joey is searching the fridge.
(Coming from the TV)
Katie Couric-"Information for Dateline Tuesday can be found at www.nbc.com/dateline. Please tune in. Thank you for watching. I am Katie Couric, and this is the Today show, on NBC."
Show ends, "paid programming" (more commonly known as infomercial) begins.
Rachel-"Bye Katie! Oh man, it's an infomercial. (she watches for about 20 seconds and realizes it's an infomercial about products that help you lose weight) Wow, I really am pathetic. I better stop watching before I turn into you Joey."
Joey shrugs his shoulders.
Rachel-"I think I should get out of this building before I start talking like Katie Couric... bye Joey."
Joey-(laughs a little) "Bye. (2 second pause) Oh wait, wait!"
Rachel-"What?"
Joey-"Phoebe and Monica are coming over and should be here any second, will you look out the peephole and tell me when they're here so I can hide and scare them?"
Rachel-(looks at Joey as if he is crazy) "Yeah...sure."
(15 second pause)
Rachel-"They're here, hide!" (Joey leaps behind the lazy boy)
Rachel opens door to leave as Monica and Phoebe enter.
Monica-"Oh hey Rach...whoa! You're not watching TV!"
Rachel-"Yeah, I figure I should try to stay as human as possible."
(All three laugh)
Phoebe-"Where's Joey?"
Rachel-"Oh...um...he left for a few minutes he wanted me to tell you guys to wait here until he gets back."
M&P-"K. OK."
(Rachel exits. Monica stands on the right side of the counter, Phoebe sits on stool, left side of counter.)
Phoebe-"So did you tell Chandler yet?"
Monica-"No, I'm nervous. I don't know why. But I am."
Phoebe-"Yeah, it is Chandler."
Monica-"Thanks for the help. (tone of her voice changes) I don't know, I mean, I don't think he will freak out. At the wedding when he thought it was me who was pregnant he was really happy."
Phoebe-"Really, how do you know?"
Monica-"Because after we kissed, he whispered to me about how he loves me and that he knew about 'the baby.' He didn't sound like he was freaked out."
Phoebe-"Aww, that's so sweet. Yeah, don't worry Monica he won't freak out. When I told him that you were pregnant, before I knew it was really Rachel, he told me about how he wasn't freaking out and that something so small couldn't be all that bad. I don't think you have anything to worry about."
Monica-"Yeah, you're probably right. I'm still nervous though. But I'm really excited too!"
Phoebe-"Hehe! I'm so excited that you guys are gonna have a baby!"
Monica-"Me too, I wanna tell him now!"
Phoebe-"Then go tell him now!"
Monica-"Ya think so?"
Phoebe-"Yeah, Go!"
(Monica exits)
(Joey comes out from his hiding spot.)
Joey-"Uh...hey Pheebs."
Phoebe-"Joey, what are you doing here!" (she says sounding mad)
Joey-"Well I was gonna try to scare you guys...but then I overheard."
Phoebe-"Ugh, oh well. Just don't tell anybody you know okay?"
Joey-"Okay. So Monica's pregnant?!"
Phoebe-"Yeah isn't it great?"
Joey-"Yeah, it's awesome! But wait...that means Chandler will turn into Ross, and be all...daddish all the time! Ahh! I have no cool guy friends!" (phoebe shrugs her shoulders)
Scene 2-Rachel, Monica, & Chandler are at Central Perk. Chandler and Monica are sitting on the couch together, Rachel is in the chair reading a book about pregnancy. Phoebe enters carrying 3 bags.
Phoebe-"Hey you guys!"
Everybody-"Hey/Hi."
Phoebe-"Okay, so check it out...I brought partyboy." (she pulls out her turtle)
Chandler-"Partyboy?"
Phoebe-"Yeah, my turtle. I bought him the other day remember?"
Chandler-"Yeah, I remember. But why did you name him partyboy."
Phoebe-"Because he's a boy...and he likes to par-tay!"
Chandler-"Ahh, I see."
Phoebe-"Anyway...check out it's clothes!" (she dumps out the bag on the table, causing silver, gold, and party-type clothes to fall over the place. They are very small, but big enough for the turtle)
Monica-"What's that...."
Phoebe-"This is it's wardrobe! They are all party type clothes. It fits his name."
Rachel-"You know, I could help you set up a really cool outfit for the turtle, since I work at Ralph Lauren and all. Maybe instead of the silver jacket you could use a-"
Phoebe-"Rachel...just STOP IT!"
Rachel-"What?"
Phoebe-"Just stop! Don't Chandler and Monica have news anyway?"
Chandler-"Umm...no..."
(Monica shakes her head and mouths the word "No!" to Phoebe)
Phoebe-"Oh...okay, then I have big news!"
Chandler-"Oh really, what is it?"
Phoebe-"Umm...uh...I had a dream about flying cats last night!"
Chandler-"Wow that is big news."
(Phoebe nods her head)
(Ross enters)
Ross-"Hey guys."
Everybody-"Hey."
Ross-"I can't stay for long, I have to go pick up Ben for his first football game. Which is what I want to talk to you guys about. Ben has a football game today, will you go with me? I know it would mean a lot to him."
Chandler-(to monica) "We don't have any plans do we?"
Monica-(in a disappointed tone) "I guess not."
Everybody else-"Sure. Let's go."
Ross-"Oh that's so great. It's at central park. It starts at 3:30. See you guys then."
Everybody-"K. Thanks. Bye."
(Ross exits)
Rachel-"I have to go to the bathroom, be right back."
M&P-"K."
Chandler-"Oh I have to go upstairs, I promised Joey I would play him a game of Mario Kart."
Monica-"Okay, have fun sweetie."
Chandler-"Thanks."
(kisses her on the cheek)
(Chandler exits)
(5 second pause)
(Phoebe waits until Chandler is completely gone, then goes & sits by Monica)
Phoebe-"I thought you were gonna tell him!"
Monica-"I was, but when I found him down here Rachel was here too, and I wanted to tell him in private."
Phoebe-"Oh, man. So when you gonna tell him?"
Monica-"I was planning on doing it after we left here, but now we're going to the football game, so I guess I'll just wait until tonight."
Phoebe-"Now that I know that's when you're gonna tell him I'll come over and ruin it for you! Muah Ha Ha."
Monica-"Ha ha very funny."
Scene 3-Joey and Chandler are playing mario kart. Chandler is "Peach" and Joey is "Bowser"
Joey-"Bring it on Peach!"
Chandler-"Kiss my ass bowser!" (you hear "peach" say "Peachy" in the background)
Joey-(staying concentrated on the game, but starting a conversation with Chandler) "So how'd you take it?"
Chandler-"Take what?"
Joey-"Umm...hello, you know, the whole thing about your WIFE being pregnant! How dumb are you?" (Joey says not believing that Chandler didn't realize he was talking about Monica being pregnant)
Chandler-"Monica's pregnant?!"
Joey-"Uh...yeah."
Chandler-"When did you find out?"
Joey-"She was talking about it with Phoebe, and I overheard. She said she was going to tell you right then, and she left."
Chandler-"Oh my god! (long pause while he thinks) I'm going to be a dad!"
Joey-"Wait...she didn't tell you yet?"
Chandler-"No, how long has she known?"
Joey-"I think she just found out yesterday, but I'm not sure. Why?"
Chandler-"I'm just wondering why she hasn't told me yet."
Joey-"Well, I heard her tell Phoebe she was nervous."
Chandler-"Why would she be nervous?"
Joey-"Chandler...hello, it's you! She was probably worried you would flip out."
Chandler-"That's true. But I'm not freaked out about it anymore."
Joey-"Are you going to talk to her about it."
Chandler-"Yeah, I want to see if she tells me first though, I guess I'll just wait and see."
Joey-"Okay. Now shall we get back to our game?"
Chandler-"Yeah, no I think I'm done."
Joey-"Why?!"
Chandler-"Because I just found out that my wife is pregnant...I'm just not in the "Mario Kart mood" that's all."
Joey-"All right, see ya later."
Chandler-"Bye." (exits)
Scene 4-Everybody (except for Ross) is crammed into Chandler and Monica's Porsche. Phoebe is in the back middle seat with her turtle. Rachel is to Phoebe's left, and Joey is to Phoebes right. He has a huge slice of pizza. Monica is in the front passenger seat and Chandler is driving. None of them look comfortable with how crowded it is.
Rachel-(plugging her nose) "Oh, gross! That thing stinks so bad!"(talking about the turtle)
Joey-"Yeah, no kidding the smell is making it hard to enjoy my pizza!"
Phoebe-"You guys! You're scaring partyboy! And he DOES NOT stink."
They all start arguing.
Scene shifts to the front of the car.
Chandler-"So, you, uh, feeling okay?"
Monica-"Yeah, fine...why?"
Chandler-"Just wondering. Listen I wanted to talk to you about something in private, it's really important."
Monica-"Yeah, I wanted to talk to you too, but I didn't get the chance beca-"
Rachel-(her voice gets louder then everybody else's causing her to interrupt) "Phoebe, I SWEAR, if you don't make that turtle stop stinking so bad, I will throw it OUT the window!"
Joey-(after shoving a huge piece of pizza in his mouth, he tries to say his opinion but it is mumbled because of the pizza.)
Rachel-"Whatever Joey. Can we just go to this game?"
Chandler-"Yes. And off we go."
Phoebe-"I still don't see what smells so bad."
(Rachel again begins to argue about it. Causing Chandler to turn up the music in order to not have to listen to it.) (for those of you who love detail, the song he turns up is BonJovi, "It's my life."--I had to add that in for me, bonjovi is my fav. band!)
Scene 5-It's warm ups before Ben's game. Ross is watching, and also trying to give him tips.
Ross-"Okay Ben, now this is the part where you run towards that end of the field!"
Ben-"DAD!"
Ross-"What? I'm just trying to help."
Ben-"Thanks, but NO THANKS!"
(There is a 20 second pause)
Ross-"Woo hoo! Go Ben, catch the ball! Run, Run Ben!"
Ben-"Dad, I KNOW! BE QUIET!"
(Ross is embarrassed, but to his luck everybody has just arrived.)
Ross-"Hey guys!"
Everybody-"Hey/ Hi/What's up."
Ross-"Oh nothing, just giving my boy a few tips. Right Ben?!"
Ben-"Dad, I told you, BE QUIET!"
(Ross turns back to the group, embarrassed)
Time Lapse-30 minutes, the actual game has started.
Ross is standing at the sideline watching Ben and getting too protective. (even though it is only flag football.)
Ross-"Hey, don't you do that to my son! Hey! Ben are you okay sweetie? (gets the 'red ross' look) HEY! Don't chase my son like that! Dumb red headed kid!"
Some Parent-"Shh! You're ruining the fun for the kids. Sit down!"
(Rachel giggles at Ross, as Ross comes over to her, Joey and Phoebe)
Ross-"Yeah, whatever at least I'm a good parent and DON'T want my kid to get a broken bone!"
Rachel-"Ross calm down it's okay."
Ross-"No, it's not okay, that kid was clinging on to Ben as if it was his last chance to stay alive. Don't tell me to calm down."
Rachel-"Are you going to be like this when our child comes?"
Ross-"Yes, Yes I am."
Rachel-"Well, you probably won't have to be, because we're having a girl."
Ross-"You found out?"
Rachel-"No, I just know that we're having a GIRL. Hey, you can teach her ballet!"
Ross-"Shut up."
Joey-(laughing and pointing at Ross, then shifting his attention towards Phoebe and Partyboy)
Phoebe-(partyboy isn't moving very much which is worrying Phoebe) "I don't know what's wrong with him. Maybe he's hungry or something. (sees that Joey has sun flower seeds) Hey, maybe he can eat those!"
Joey-"No, no. Not Joey Tribbiani's sunflower seeds! (phoebe gives him a look) Yeah, fine."
(They both get on the ground and try to feed the sunflower seeds to partyboy. Finally he eats them.)
Phoebe-"He's gonna live!"
Joey-"Yeah if he doesn't choke on those seeds."
Scene Shifts to Chandler and Monica who are standing about 3 feet from everybody else, but are still in their own private conversation. Chandler has his arms wrapped around Monica.
Chandler-"I can't wait until we have kids. It will be so much fun to come and watch them have fun."
Monica-"Yeah, me neither." (she says, with very small suspicion)
Chandler-(pointing to the other side of the field) "Ooh look at that baby! Isn't cute! Our babies will be cuter though." (he says, while moving his hands down so they are on Monica's stomach.)
Monica-"Yeah, I know what you mean. What's going on Chandler." (she says, with a lot of suspicion)
Chandler-"Nothing, I just think kids are cute. (5 second pause) Oh look Ben is about to score a touch down! (Ben scores) Woo hoo! Go Ben!"
Everybody is cheering, scene ends.
Last Scene-Chandler and Monica are entering the apartment. Monica looks anxious, but Chandler is totally calm.
Monica-"Chandler, I'm glad we're finally alone. I have to talk to you about so-"
Chandler-(cutting her off) "Shh, I know. But first, let me give you something."
(He goes into the spare room and comes back out holding a gift bag.)
Monica-"You got me something? What is it?"
Chandler-(pulls out that little baby outfit that says "I (heart) New York." Monica's mouth drops open, as she puts her hand over her mouth) I got this for you the night of our wedding when I thought it was you that was pregnant. I wanted you to know that I wasn't freaking out, and that I was excited to have a baby. I know it's not a really nice baby outfit, but I think it's cute."
Monica-(still really shocked) "Yes, it's very cute...."
Chandler-"Anyway, I figured I could save it until we really did have a baby on the way....and from what I hear we do...I'm right, right?"
Monica-"Yes, we do!" (she leaps at him for a hug. After a long hug, they kiss, it kind of re-enacts the proposal)
Monica-"How'd you find out?!" (both are a little teary, mostly Monica though)
Chandler-"Joey overheard you and Phoebe talking this morning, and he accidentally told me about it...you know how Joey is."
Monica-"Yeah I know how Joey is." ( she pulls in for another hug)
Chandler-"How long have you known?"
Monica-"I just found out yesterday. I'm going to set up a doctors appointment sometime this week. Then we will find out how long I've been pregnant, and all the information we need."
Chandler-"I can't wait." (he then gives that cute smile...you know what smile it is...the one he used when he was talking about they're future)
Scene ends with them kissing.
The End...for now!
