After Joey's arm had healed, Chandler came home from work to find Joey building an entertainment center. He soon noticed the jeans that Joey wore. "My word! Those are snug."
Joey turned around. "Oh yeah. These are my old work pants, Sergio Valenti."
Chandler came nearer, getting turned on. "So, um, do you wanna take a break or something?"
Joey put down his tools and smiled. "Okay."
They kissed and hurried to have another quickie, but as they headed into Chandler's bedroom, only the top half of the door opened and Chandler nearly fell down. Joey caught him and explained apologetically that he had accidentally slashed the door in two with a power saw.
Normally Chandler would have been angry, but he just shrugged, and they went inside anyway.

While Joey continued with his construction project, Chandler hung out at Central Perk with the others, who were discussing freebie lists.
Rachel explained that she was trying making a deal with Ross "where we each get to pick five celebrities that we can sleep with, and the other one can't get mad."
Ross was patronizing, "Ah, the heart of every healthy relationship. Honesty, respect, and sex with celebrities."
Rachel hit him. "I told him my list: Chris O'Donnell, John F. Kennedy, Jr., Daniel Day Lewis, Sting, and Parker Stevenson. And you know what Ross said when I asked him for his list? Tell them."
Ross cleared his throat. "Well I said that, uh, that kind of thing requires some serious thought. First, I'll divide my prospective candidates into categories..."
Chandler coughed, "What a geek!" Boy was he glad that he ended up with Joey, and not Ross.
Phoebe then introduced everybody to her half-brother Frank Jr. "Oh, Joey's not here! Is he upstairs?"
"Yeah. I told him to come down, but he's probably still building that entertainment center. Come on." The three of them left together.
"So this is Chandler's boyfriend Joey." Phoebe introduced.
"Whoa!" Frank Jr. was impressed. "You mean these are actual gays?" He was kind of young and dense.
"Come on, they're not gonna bite!" She made him shake Joey's hand.
"Hey," Joey said. "Sorry for not coming down, Pheebs. I got kind of involved here." He gestured to his big construction project.
Frank Jr. took pictures. "Wow! I thought gays couldn't do stuff like this."
Chandler tried to smile patiently. "So, do you guys have a lot of big plans?"
"We're gonna connect," Phoebe answered. "You know, bond, and everything."
Frank Jr. added, "Yeah, I was thinking that maybe we could go down to Times Square and pick up some ninja stars. And, oh, um, my friend Larry, he wants me to take a picture of a hooker."
Chandler observed, "You know, we don't really take advantage of living in the city."
"I know!" Joey answered.

After Phoebe and her brother left, Chandler persuaded Joey to take another break. They forgot to close both halves of Chandler's door, however, so when their friends came by the apartment, they could hear them having sex.
Everyone left as soon as they realized.
Monica was alone in her apartment when Chandler came over later, completely casual. "Hey, you got any beer? We're all out over there."
"Worked up a thirst, did you?"
"Yeah, Joey won't stop building that thing. I don't want him to get dehydrated."
"Okay." She handed him some beers from the fridge. "Don't you work him too hard, now."
He shrugged. "I don't even really want that entertainment center--"
"Chandler!" She finally told him what she and the others had walked in on. "If you're gonna be doing stuff like that, at least lock your front door."
He became embarrassed. "You couldn't actually see us, could you?"
"No, and I wasn't trying to. But trust me, hearing you shout, 'Nail me! Nail me like a hammer!' was graphic enough."
Chandler blushed more deeply. "Okay, um, I'll get Joey to fix that door." As he was leaving, he cleared his throat, "And just so you know, he's not always the one doing the nailing."
"I know. I saw you guys on the couch before. Another reason to lock your door."
Chandler winced and exited.

Frank Jr. continued to be weird, too weird even for Phoebe. He melted stuff to smell the fumes, then mistook Phoebe and her coworkers at the massage parlor for hookers. They managed to make up, however, and finally felt like siblings.
Joey finished his project and also crudely patched up the door. However, it turned out that the entertainment center was far too big, blocking nearly half of both their bedroom doors.
Chandler couldn't believe it. Maybe he'd distracted Joey too much from the project.
"Wow, it's big. Um, maybe my ruler's wrong."
"Maybe all rulers are wrong," Phoebe mused.
"Cool!" Frank Jr. was impressed. "Hey, I bet I could fit inside that cabinet there." He got into the entertainment center and shut the door. "Wow! I could melt stuff in here all day."
Phoebe coaxed her brother out again and reminded him that he had to go home now.
Chandler suggested to Joey, "Maybe you should saw off that section over there, so it's not so wide."
"Aw, I'm tired now."
Chandler hugged him. "It can wait. Come on, sit down." They sat on the couch but then discovered that Joey had left the lid from a can of varnish there.
"Oops!" Joey said when the lid got stuck to Chandler's pants.
Chandler laughed and everybody decided to leave when they recognized where that laugh was leading to.
Joey turned around. "Oh yeah. These are my old work pants, Sergio Valenti."
Chandler came nearer, getting turned on. "So, um, do you wanna take a break or something?"
