Battle of the Exes
(Everything is the same as it is now, just pretend Ross and Rachel are still living together)
Scene: C&M's apartment, Chandler, Monica, Phoebe and Joey are there
Monica – Where the heck are Ross and Rachel!
Chandler – They'll be here soon, why don't we just tell Joey and Phoebe now?
Monica – Okay!
Chandler – Hey Joey, Phoebe, sit on the couch a minute, we have something to tell you. (They sit) Well you guys, I'm not really sure how to say this, but…
Phoebe – YOU'RE PREGNANT!
Monica – YES!
Phoebe – OH MY GOD! (They hug)
Joey – Hey, it's about time! (Group hug)
Rachel – (Entering) Ugh! Hi, you guys.
Chandler – Hey Rach, what's wrong?
Rachel – I just dropped Emma off at my mom's house, and she started in on why I don't have a boyfriend and why I broke up with all these guys in the past and why I'm over thirty and not married and…(noticing) Why's everyone so happy?
Monica – Rachel, I-
Phoebe – MONICA'S PREGNANT!
Rachel – OH MY GOD! Oh, you're gonna have a little baby, oh…(they hug)
Ross – (Entering) Hiii… (depressed)
Joey – Hey man, what's the matter?
Ross – I just bumped into my divorce lawyer. He was with his wife, and he introduced me as "The guy who's been divorced three times". It got me thinking, why? Why have I been divorced three times? Why? Shouldn't I have been able to make one of them work?
Chandler – Well, they weren't really your fault man. I mean, one was a lesbian, one was a control freak, and in the last one you were drunk!
Ross – Yeah, that's true…
Chandler – Although you DID say the wrong name in the second one…
Ross – Oh, can we just let that go for once! By the way, why are you smiling so hard?
Phoebe – MONICA'S PREGNANT!
Monica – Okay Pheebs, let me tell SOMEBODY!
Ross – Oh my god, congratulations! (hug)
Monica – Thanks, we're so excited!
Rachel – So come on Monica! How long has it been?
Ross – Have you been to a doctor?
Phoebe – What are you going to name it?
Joey – Whose is it?
Chandler – Joey!
Joey – What?
Monica – Okay, everybody come down! It's been about six weeks, the baby's due on May twenty-first. Yes Ross, I had a sonogram yesterday, and everything's healthy. We haven't discussed names yet, but we're going to name it Daniel if it's a boy and Katie if it's a girl!
Chandler – Katie?
Monica – Yes, why?
Chandler – Nothing, I just used to date a Katie…
Monica – Okay, something else then!
Rachel – Oh man you guys! I'm so happy for you! Oh, I want that!
Phoebe – Um, Rachel…
Rachel – I know! I mean I want a family! I want a boyfriend! Someone who's my age, speaks English, and won't have an affair with my best friend!
Ross – I know what you mean…though I guess I should add "straight" to my list…
Rachel – Yeah, I'm gonna go back to my apartment and lie down, okay?
Ross – I'll probably be there soon.
Rachel – All right, bye everyone! (leaves)
Time lapse, R&Rs apartment. Someone knocks on the door.
Rachel – Coming! (opens the door) Oh my god! Gavin!
Gavin – Hello Rachel. Can I come in?
Rachel – Sure, I guess…
Gavin - Look, we haven't really talked since that kiss, and I was wondering what it meant and everything…
Rachel – Okay, um, Gavin, I really think I was just caught up in the moment. I mean, I like you, I just don't see myself in a relationship with you. Especially since you still kind of annoy the heck out of me…
Gavin – Okay, that's cool, I guess…
Rachel – I'm really sorry. (Someone knocks again) I'll be right back, okay? (She goes and opens the door) What the…Joshua?!?!?!
Joshua – Hey Rachel. Bloomingdale's told me you transferred to Ralph Lauren, so I checked with them and found out you were living here…
Rachel – Yeah okay…Why did you want to find me?
Joshua – Well, I kinda wanted to give our relationship another shot…I mean, I'm twenty-seven and I have no one!
Rachel – Okay listen Joshua…what little we had is OVER! Okay? I never even really liked you, I was in love with Ross the whole tome we were going out!
Joshua – Isn't he married now?
Gavin – No, he lives here.
Joshua – Wow.
Rachel - Long story. By the way, Joshua, you look way older than you actually are. (Knock on the door) Again! God! Okay, I'll be right back… (Opens the door) What the heck…Tag?!?!?
Tag – Hey Rach.
Rachel – Tag, please tell be you didn't come to ask me to give our relationship another chance!
Tag – No, actually I came to tell you that since you DUMPED me because I was TOO YOUNG for you, I went out and found someone better. We're engaged now.
Rachel – Okay…congratulations Tag.
Tag – Thanks, I'm excited.
Joshua – Wait, Is that why you dumped me? I was too young?
Rachel – I didn't dump you Joshua, remember?
Gavin – Well is that why you're dumping me?
Rachel – NO! We never even went out, how could I dump you! (Knock) AAHHH!! No way! (She opens the door) Oh my god…
TBC
