TOW the Father-Son Bonding
(scene Central Perk- Phoebe and Joey are sitting on the couch)
Phoebe: So?
Joey: So what?
Phoebe: How'd it go with Sam?
Joey: OH! That.. that was fantastic! In fact, I'm taking her out again tonight.
Phoebe: Cool! Did you sleep with her?
Joey: No.. but she was a good person, and the attraction was really strong, and I think, that maybe, maybe, I could fall in love with her. And I don't want to sleep with her unless I'm sure that she feels the same way.
Phoebe: (shocked) Whoah-oh!!! That is soo cool! Joey Tribbiani has finally
grown up!
Joey: Huh? I was always an adult
Phoebe: Uh, nevermind.
Opening Credits
(scene Paris, Chandler and Monica are walking)
Chandler: So what do you want to do today?
Monica: I don't know, I guess we could shop for more baby clothes.
Chandler: But Mo-on! We've done that almost everyday! This is supposed to be our honeymoon!
Monica: Okay, okay! Geez! Okay then, how about we rent a boat and go sailing on the French Riviera?
Chandler: (dreading it) Seriously?
Monica: Yes, seriously. It'll be fun! Just watch.
Chandler: (sarcastic) Whoopee!
(scene Central Park Phoebe is jogging)
We see her running and singing along with her walkman to (you pick a song) and she turns a corner on the path and crashes into a cute guy, and knocks him down with her landing on top of him.
Phoebe: Hey! Watch out!
Alex: Hey, no! You watch out!
Phoebe looks down and realizes that he's cute.
Phoebe: You're right, I'm so sorry. Here lemme help you up.
Alex looks up at her, and we can tell that he's instantly smitten.
Alex: Here it's okay. Are you okay, Mrs...?
Phoebe: Actually, it's Miss Buffay. But you, you're welcome to call me Phoebe. And I'm fine, are you hurt?
Alex: No, I'm fine... and my name is Alex Parker. I know that you will probably think that I'm incredibly rude, but I must say that I never would have expected to get run over by such a beautiful woman at Central Park on this lovely day (Phoebe giggles) and I was hoping that I could get your number.
Phoebe: Oh definitely! She writes it down and hands it to him. Call me!
Alex: Oh I definitely will. He grins and winks at her, and they part ways.
(scene Ross's apartment, he is on the phone)
Ross: Today? Sure, I'd love to spend some time with Ben. I know I haven't, been around much, and I'd love it. (pause) All week? That'd be great, okay Carol, I'll be by in a minute. Bye
We see him leave, and then we see him enter with Ben.
Ross: So Ben what would you like to do today?
Ben: I don't know, play nintendo?
Ross: Okay, we can do that.
Ben: Okay.
Ross: Ben, do you feel like you never get to see me anymore?
Ben: (kinda blowing him off, cuz he's impatient) No, we see each other plenty. Let's play dad!
Ross: Okay, but this week you and me are bonding!
Ben: Okay, whatever.
commercial break
(scene Central Perk, Rachel's laying down on the couch, crying, and Gunther is bringing her some coffee)
Rachel: Thank you.
Gunther: Anytime Rachel, are you okay?
Rachel: Yeah, I'll be okay, I guess.
Gunther: You can tell me, I won't tell anyone.
Rachel: (thinking) Okay! I could use someone to talk to about this.
Gunther: Shoot.
Rachel: Okay, for starters, I'm pregnant, and the rest is that I'm going to be a mother! And I barely know how to take care of myself, how am I going to raise a kid?
Gunther: (in shock and angry) Ross's kid?
Rachel: No.
Gunther: (relieved) Okay, well Rachel, I personally think that you will do just fine as a mom. I've seen you go through being on your own to being able to fully take care of yourself, it'll be okay.
Rachel: Thank you.
Phoebe and Joey enter. Gunther goes back behind the counter.
Phoebe: (noticing Rachel's crying) Are you okay honey?
Joey: Rach? Ohmygosh! What's wrong?
Rachel: How do I tell you guys this? My best friends! I don't know how to tell you!
Phoebe: What is it? You know we're here for you, no matter what it is.
Rachel: I know, but...
Joey: But what?
Rachel: (whispering) I'm pregnant.
Phoebe and Joey: (shrieking) WHAT?!? OH MY GOSH!
Rachel: Yeah, I know. Phoebe, it was my pregnancy test you found. Not Monica's.
Phoebe: Oh! That explains a lot, like why Monica kept insisting that it wasn't hers, and also why your aura's been all crazy-like this week.
Joey: Hey Rach, who's the dad?
Rachel: I don't see how that is any of your business.
Phoebe: Oh, I get it, Ross is.
Rachel: NO! Why does everyone keep thinking that???
Phoebe: I don't know... geez, chill out.
Rachel: Okay, sorry.
Ross walks in with Ben, who's looking REALLY bored.
Ross: (to Ben) And that's what dinosaurs were in the Messozaic Period.
Ben: Yeah, that's great Dad. Hey Rachel. Hey Phoebe. Oh, Hi Joey! Joey, how about me and you play some soccer.
Joey: Okay, you're on.
Phoebe: Ooh, ooh! Can I play too??
Ben: Sure Phoebe. What about you, Rachel? You up for it?
Rachel: Sorry, Ben. I can't today, I'm not feeling too well.
Ross: Oh, well, Rachel, call me later about it okay?
Rachel: Okay, Ross, I will, I promise.
Ross: Good. Hey Ben, don't worry, I'll play soccer with you guys.
The three exchange looks of dread.

Ross: Thanks, Phoebe. I didn't see it there.
Phoebe: (sarcastic) Yeah, that really changes things. You weigh a ton.
Ben: Aunt Rachel, you should've seen it, it was great! He was, like, flying through the air in slow-motion, and he landed flat on
face.
Rachel: (laughing) Okay, you guys, he can lay on the couch.
Joey and Phoebe put him on the couch.
Joey: Ross, are you going to be okay?
Ross: I don't know... maybe someone should stay with me, like maybe Rachel?
Rachel: I think you're right. Somebody should stay with you, Phoebe, are you busy tonight?
Phoebe: (grins evilly) Yeah, I am now. I'm going to be Ross's nurse.
Ross: (panicky) You really don't have to do that Phoebe.
Rachel: No, it's okay, I'll take Ben and Joey shopping with me (turns to them) and we'll make a stop at the video game store and
the candy shops.
Joey and Ben: Okay, Let's go!
The three exit.
