OPENING CREDITS
[Scene:
Chandler and Joey's, Joey is watching Quincy
M.E. as Chandler is walking into the living
room from his bedroom.]
Chandler: (sporting a goatee) Hey.
Joey: Hey. Y'know with that goatee
you kinda look like Satan.
Chandler: Oh, so thats why the
priest threw holy water on me. (theres no reaction from Joey) Okay, listen, you have to cheer
up! Okay? You should come out with Ross and me, I mean anything
is better than sitting around here crying all day about Kate.
Joey: Hey I was crying because,
because nobody believed Quincys theory. Okay?
Ross: (entering) Hey!
Chandler: Hey.
Ross: (triumphantly)
Im gonna be on TV!!
Chandler: No way!
Ross: Yeah! Theyre putting

Chandler: Thanks. (He takes off the vest and throws it on
the floor.)
Anchorwoman: (on TV) While most
of us think of chocolate bunnies and baskets as traditional
Easter gifts. Some people insist on giving live chicks as
presents. (Joey is
intrigued by the idea) Unfortunately,
the sad fact remains that most of these little guys wont
live to see the fourth of July. (Joey starts to call a place to buy a little baby chick)
Because of as a result of
improper care, they will be dead.
Joey: (on phone) Yeah,
hi. You guys got any of those baby chicks? Cause I was
watching this ah, commercial on TV and man, those guys are cute!

starts to skate over to him)
Pete: Wow! Skates!
(She gets just about all
the way over to him and falls into his arms.)
Monica: Wow! Youre a lot sturdier
that Chandler. He crumpled like a piece of paper. So how was
youre trip?
Pete: Well... (he holds up a gift he brought her)
Monica: Oh, whatd ya bring me?! (She opens the gift) Awww, hotel toiletries from Japan. Oh,

Monica: (popping back up)
Regular or decaf?
Pete: Ah, which ever is closest.
Monica: Okay. (hands him a cup)
Pete: So ask me what I did today.
Monica: So what did you do today Pete?
Pete: I bought a restaurant and I
would like you to be the head chef.
Monica: What?! Oh.(She turns around quickly and falls)
[Scene: Monica and
Rachel's, Monica is telling Rachel about Petes offer.]
Monica: Can you believe he just offered
me a restaurant?
Rachel: What a jerk! You want me to
kick his ass?
Monica: I mean this has been like my dream since I got my first
Easy Bake Oven and opened Easy Monicas Bakery. I mean I would kill for this job. I
mean I can totally do this job, and God knows I paid my dues. (She removes her fake breasts) But Petes just doing this because
he has a crush on me.
Rachel: And youre still not
attracted to him at all?
Monica: Hmm, no. I mean how can I
accept a restaurant from him? I-I-I-I cant. I couldnt
even accept a necklace from Stu Vincent in the seventh grade.
Rachel: Yeah, but Mon thats
totally different. He was youre health teacher.
Monica: Oh, please.
(She slaps Rachels
side and Rachel screams in pain.)
Monica: What? Honey.

tie) Hey, you guys! Guess

Rachel: (looking at the outfit) Got a job on a river boat?
Ross: Y'know what I didnt wear
this suit for a year because you hated it. Well, guess what?
Youre not my girlfriend anymore so...
Rachel: Oh I see, so this suit is
making a point.
Ross: Right.
Rachel: Now that youre on
youre own, youre free to look as stupid as you like.
Ross: (to Monica) You
like it right?
Monica: Oh absolutely. I like it even
more on you than I did on Colonel Sanders. (Ross starts to leave) Ross! Ross! Im kidding!
Rachel: Yeah, come here!
Monica: What-what was it you were gonna
tell us?
Rachel: Yeah. Oh! Was how you invented
the cotton gin?!
Ross: Okay, good bye! (leaves)
[Scene: Chandler and Joey's, Chandler is talking to
Phoebe about her suggestion.]
Chandler: So um, after you put the
suggestion in the box, how long did it take for the roller
skating thing to happen.
Phoebe: Umm, oh, about three months.
Chandler: Okay, so I guess thats
about ah, two weeks before the topless thing kicks in.
Joey: (entering carrying a box) Hey!!
Chandler: Hey!
Joey: I got you something! Open it!
Open it!
Chandler: Okay. (He opens it and its a baby
chick) Its a chicken.
Joey: Its cute, huh?
Phoebe: Whoa-whoa-whoa, you guys, do you know anything about
chicks?
Chandler: Fowl? No. Women? Nooo.
Phoebe: Okay, well they are a huge
responsibility, especially at this age. They require constant
care. They-they need just the right food, and lots and
lots of love.
Joey: Oh, well no problem there. (He picks up the chick, hugs it really tight, and talks
to it like its a little baby.)
Chandler: Easy Lenny.
[Scene: The
Moondance Diner, Pete is talking to Monica about the restaurant.]
Pete: So? I mean have you thought
about it?
Monica: Okay. Heres the thing.
Pete: Oh no, not the thing. I hate
the thing. Whats the thing?
Monica: I cant do it. Im
sorry, I wish I could, but umm, see you have these feelings for
me....
Pete: Wait, wait, wait, wait,
thats-thats what youre worried about? If
thats the problem, weve got no problem.
Monica: Huh?
Pete: No! Look, I was gonna tell you
this over dinner, but I met somebody else. On my trip.
Monica: Oh?
Pete: Her names Ann, shes
a journalist. Ahh, we met on the plane. She asked me if she could
finish off my peanuts, I thought she said something else, we had
a big laugh. Yeah, I just, I mean I got, I got tired of waiting.
Monica: Oh, thats great! I mean
Im-Im sorry, but Im so happy for you. And now I
can work for you!
Pete: I guess you can.
Monica: Oh my God! Oh, this is
incredible! Ohh! (she rolls
over and kisses him on the cheek) All right, y'know what? Im just gonna roll right
into that office and-and quit!
Pete: All right.
Monica: Okay. (she gets ready to go) Can you give me a little push?
Pete: Yeah, sure. Good luck!
Monica: (rolling towards the office) Im quitting!! Woo-hoo! (She rolls through a doorway and out of
sight. We then hear a big crash, and see Monica roll past the
door the other way.)
Im okay!! Im all right!!
Phoebe: (to Pete) Wow!
Thats exciting, you went to Japan, made up a woman.
Pete: What?
Phoebe: Im just saying, this
woman, I mean shes fictitious. No?
Pete: Why would you say that?
Phoebe: Cause youre still
into Monica. So you told her there was somebody else so she would
agree to work with you, so cause you figure oh if you spent
a lot of time together, maybe something might happen, and...
Pete: Youre good. Youre
good!
Phoebe: Yeah, no, Im fairly
intuitive and psychic. Its a substantial gift.
Pete: Listen, can you promise me that
you wont tell her though?
Phoebe: Absolutely, oh I promise. Tell
her what?
Pete: Thanks a lot.
Phoebe: No Im serious. I mean
Im intuitive, but my memory sucks.
[Scene: Chandler

Joey: Hey.
Chandler: Hey.
Joey: Hows she doing?
Chandler: She?
Joey: Well yeah,

Chandler: I dont know. (He picks the chick up and turns it
over, trying to determine the sex of the chick, and blows on it.) I cant tell, what ever it was

Joey: Well, anyway, I got to go

Chandler: Excuse me?
Joey: What?
Chandler: I stayed home from work today while you were at

Joey: Hey! Who was up from 2 oclock this morning until 5
oclock this morning trying to get her back to sleep?
Chandler: You dont think I get up when you get up?
Joey: Ohhh, here it comes.
Chandler: Yes, here it comes! Im

with us and then expect to go off gallivanting with your friends?
Well I dont think so mister!
Joey: Hey!! I need to relax! Okay? I

Chandler: And you dont think taking
care of our chick is work?
Joey: Thats not what I said.
Okay, I just meant...
Chandler: I know what you meant!! (pause) You notice that ever since we got this chick, weve

Joey: Well, the brown one brings out
your eyes, but your butt looks great in the blue one.
Ross: Really? (Joey gives him a Like I would
know look)
[Scene: Monica and Rachel's, Rachel is trying to take
some aspirin.]
Rachel: (she reaches for the bottle) Oww! (She grabs
the bottle, but has trouble opening it. She pops the top off and
aspirins fly all over the place as Ross enters.)
Ross: Wow! That aspirin dance really
works!
Rachel: (She bends over to try and pick up the aspirin) Oww!
Ross: Oh my God, is that still...
Rachel: Im fine, Im fine.
Ross: No youre not.
Rachel: Yes I am!
Ross: Rach!
Rachel: Look, Im fine. Watch. (She picks up an aspirin between her
toes) Look at that. (She lifts her leg to grab the aspirin
with her hand and almost falls over.) Whoa-whoa!
Ross: (stopping her from falling) Okay, okay. Look, you have got to go to a doctor! Okay?
Rachel: No. I have got to get
ready and go to a dinner at my bosses house. Its a very big
deal, theres a lot of people there I have to meet.
Ross: And Im sure youre
gonna make a big impression. Hi! Im Rachel Green. Its

his leg and imitates shaking hands with it, just like how Rachel
was trying to pick up the aspirin with her feet.) Come on, you probably have a broken
rib!
Rachel: Well, I will go to the hospital
tomorrow, itll still be broken then.
Ross: Rach...
Rachel: But y'know, I could use a hand
