Episode 3
Scene 1: Monica's. It is two weeks after the last episode. She is one and a half months pregnant. Chandler is watching TV, Joey is eating in the dining room, and Monica is in the bathroom.
Joey: Got any jam?
Chandler: over his shoulder. Yeah, it's underneath the tub of ice cream that you devoured half an hour ago.
Joey: Yeah, sorry about that. It's just...I dunno, I like ice cream.
Chandler: I'd be wondering why you ate it all if you didn't.
Monica: (O/S) Chandler, do we have any toildt paper in the cabinet? I've run out in here.
Chandler: Hang on Mon. goes into bedroom. There is a knock at the door.
Joey: Who is it?
Rachel: (O/S) It's me, can you open up?
Joey: Erm...well, I could, I guess.
Rachel: Yes, so could you?
Joey gets up and hesitantly opens the door. Rachel doesn't notice his cautiousness and flurries in.
Rachel: Listen, Joey, I think I'm going to say no to Ross. Do you think that's a good idea? I mean, I like him and all, but it desn't feel right to do it just for Jessie. What do you think?
Joey: Where IS Jessie?
Rachel: Aw crap...runs outside and comes back in wheeling a pushchair. so anyway...
Joey: Rache, listen a minute will ya?
Rachel: What is it? Joe, I have to give Ross his answer in like two minutes.
Joey: Rache...Monica and Chandler said I should tell you...and I wasn't going to, I mean you and Ross should be together...it's...well, the thing is, I still have these huge feelings for you.
Rachel: Wh...what?
Joey: I'm going now. Just...bear that in mind, ok?
Rachel: Huh? Er...ok, Joe, see ya.
Joey: Bye...walks out dejectedly, Rachel looks after him but can't say anything. She feels too sorry for him.
Scene 2: Ross'. Rachel and Ross are talking when Monica flies in, with Chandler close behind.
Monica: So, what is it? Oh tell me, I'm wetting myself here!
Ross: I thought you said you wouldn't tell anyone? to Rachel.
Rachel: Mon...we're getting married.
Monica looks really happy...but then her smile fades when she sees the faces of Ross and Rachel-they look anything but happy.
Monica: What's wrong? You should be happy, happy, happy.
Ross:Yeah...we're only doing it for Jessie. It somehow doesn't feel right, but we will probably learn to like each other...
Monica: Oh.
Chandler: Hey, I'm happy! My best mate's getting married!
There is a pause.
Chandler: I'll just go and stand over there then...
Scene Three: At Joey's. Chandler is sitting with his head in his hands. Joey comes in, rather surprised to see him there.
Joey: What's up, Chandler?
Chandler: Oh nothing. Except you're probably going to be in a bad...and I mean bad...mood for the rest of your life.
Joey: I know, I just heard.
Chandler: Well, you don't look too upset.
Joey: Well, I can always have pepperami.
Chandler: Pardon me?
Joey: Well, I like sweetcorn and olives, but I won't kill myself over it. Pepperami is a close second.
Chandler: Joey, I got lost at the pepperami point of this conversation. What has pepperami got to do with Ross and Rachel getting married?
Joey's eyes grow wide, and Chandler realises that Joey didn't know. Joey looks upset, and sits down heavily on the stool in the kitchen.
Joey: Man, I thought you were talking about Pizza Hut!
Chandler: Well, I too was very upset when they finished making Sweetcorn and olives, but do you really think that that is why I came round here today?
Joey: It could have been.
Chandler: I suppose it could.
Monica walks in, and Chandler immediately escorts her to a chair. She smiles at him.
Monica: I was looking for you everywhere. God Chandler, you're gonna be such a good dad to this baby.
Chandler: Yeah, I'm...ahh, my throats gone dry...dad did you say?
Monica: Well, yeah.
Chandler: Excuse me one moment. He leaves the room, Joey shrugs at Monica.
Scene 4: Central Perk. Chandler and Rachel are drinking.
Rachel: Chandler, for gods sake, it's perfectly normal for a first-time-dad to get nervous.
Chandler: Yeah, but look what happened last time. I nearly left Monica, for gods sake. I need help. I am allergic to commitment.
Rachel: Well, y'know, they have tablets for that. They're called "Commit-All."
Chandler: Seriously?
Rachel: No! Chandler, you need to get over this, otherwise you could lose Monica again, and you don't want that do you? Need I remind you of Mr. Moustachious?
Chandler: What?
Rachel: Oh forget it. Just a little nickname I had for someone who USED to have a hairy thing on his upper lip.
Chandler: What, the berk?
Rachel: laughing. Surprised I never thought of that myself. I like that one.
Chandler: Apparently I yell it out very aggresively in my sleep.
Rachel: Ha. Anyway, back to the topic. Chandler, tell Monica if you're worried.
Quick scene change to Monica's apartment.
Monica: WHAT?
Chandler: I thought you'd understand...
Monica: Oh I understand all right. I understand that you are practically making me get an abortion!
Chandler: NO! I just wanna talk through this. You need to help me, please Mon.
Monica: I guess. But I can't believe you sometimes!
Chandler: I can't believe me either. Sometimes I wake up and think: Wow, I can't believe that I am me.
Monica: Stupidity will get you nowhere. But...ok, I shouldn't have laughed at you. That was mean.
Chandler: It was. Now I feel really upset...begins to suck his thumb in a mock-baby routine.
Monica: Don't! Don't you dare make me laugh while I'm cross with you.
Chandler: Well pardon me for breathing.
Monica: Listen...why don't we go out tonight? My treat as I got good pay last week. Loads of people turned up at the restaurant to wish me luck. They can be so nice, when they're not looking for free food.
Chandler: I'd like that. I feel like I haven't spent a lot of time with you lately.
Monica: Well,we could always make up for it.
Chandler: Monica! Not in front of the children!
Monica laughs and pulls Chandler into the bedroom (probably to play Snakes and Ladders...who knows? :)
Scene 5: Phoebe is at Monica's with Joey. Monica and Chandler have gone out and said that they could use the place to chat.
Joey: I think we need to sort our situation out.
Phoebe: From what I can tell, we don't have a situation. That kiss...it was nice. But it didn't mean anything to me. I mean...it could, but one kiss doesn't change our lives.
Joey: No, but maybe it should. I mean, I'm pretty old now, even after all my chats with Him In The Sky, but maybe he'll let me skip my fortieth. And I need to settle down.
Phoebe: Joey, you can't just "get with me" because there's no one else. Follow your heart-and if the path leads down my way, let me know. kisses him gently on the cheek-goes to get her bag and leaves Joey in a confused state.
