Rachel: No. This is my favorite blue dress and I'm going to wear it one more time.
Joey: (Pulls it hard and gets it.) Thank god.
Rachel: I'm so proud of you.
Joey: Yeah it was tuff but I zip it.
Rachel: No that. I mean you giving a speech at Ben's school fundraiser.
Joey: Well I will like to thank you for rewriting the speech.
Rachel: I was not sure that telling them if you have tons of sex in high school, do not go to college, and work half ass will not prevent you from becoming a TV star.
Joey: Hey that is my life in a nutshell.
Rachel: Yeah but still. They do not have you good looks.
Joey: True.
(Rachel drops something. She bends down to pick it up. The dress almost rips.)
Rachel: No I will be ok. I just cannot bend over anymore in it.
Joey: So I should pick up my wallet that fall out of the pocket.
