The plane- with Joey, chandler, and Janice- NOT ROSS AND MONICA
Janice leaned on Chandler's arm and carried his one small suitcase.
"Janice let go. Please."
"Oh, someone's wearing grumpy pants." And she laughed her infamous laugh.
"Joey why didn't we kick Janice out the plane window, on our way in?"
"Because there was no widows on our way in Bing-a-ling." Joey mocks.
" Well, then why didn't we put her in my suitcase, slam the top shut," he moves his hand forward, "And store her securely in an upright position in the overheard baggage compartments."
" Cause we could go to jail, now say something into my video camera"
" You want me to say something to the camera! You want me to say something to the camera! Okay...THIS TRIP SUCKS!"
"Why?"
Joey was confused, why was chandler acting like this? Why did he say a trip to Europe sucked? Joey was all so slow and stupid at times like these for example:
When Monica, Phoebe, and Joey found out that Ross was the father of her baby, because of the sweater in season 8 TOW The Red Sweater, Joey took a minute to realize and then freaked out. OR when Monica and chandler came home with twins, instead of one in the finale, Joey said stupidly and dimly "so what's the BIG surprise?"
Joey was in a good mood a little earlier, but now even more depressed then he was before. Chandler responded still as mad as ever.
"Because, you wont help me push Janice down the escalator in the mall! Or any thing! Mr. Goodie Two Shoes!"
Chandler was feeling so, well you could go as far as totally pissed off, because of course Janice, he did not want to be on this plane going to someone's wedding, he wanted to be home watching Baywatch with the chick and duck, and NOT happy Mr. Goodie Two shoes! He also didn't want to be going to the wedding because he felt unloved he didn't have great family, or a girlfriend, his life was shit. Chandler was going into detail in his brain about all the reasons he was not happy, he was being negative now. First, he was the one to pay Joey and his rent for the apartment every month, cause he was the one with a reasonable, steady job with a steady income. Chandler also was a "secret" smoker and wanted to quit, but didn't know how, he needed help and had to get it soon. Chandler did not have a girlfriend, to love and to be loved back, or to have pleasure with, to sleep with and cuddle with, wait. The girls in the gang were all single; whom will he date out of them? Rachel? No she had the whole Ross problem, Phoebe, no she was pregnant, and Monica? Also chandler parents were a big part of the reason his life is crap.
Chandler 's parents ruined his life. Does Joey know how it feels to see his mother and his Father kissing the same man? Every time Chandler's father showed up to his swim meets he dressed up as a brand new Hollywood starlet, sometimes Marilyn Monroe, Grace Kelly or Raquel Welsh. Monica always used to say that at least Chandler's father showed up at events that were important to his son; Monica's parents didn't even seem to care. Chandler didn't feel too lucky. The worst one of all was when Chandler watched his parents, whom he thought would be in love forever, and it hurt horribly to watch his father hurt his mother and fall out of her arms, into the arms of the Turkish house boy. Now Joey, chandler and…Janice were looking at their tickets and getting g t their seats, once they know where their seats are, Janice whines
"Janice wants the window seat."
"No, but so does Joey." Joey whines back
"NO Janice wants the window seat." Janice whines again
"But so does Joey." Joey argues starting to get upset
Chandler screams "You two, Shut up! Shut up! SHUT UP! Chandler then throws the video camera on the floor down the aisle, and it smashes, and breaks, poor Joey
"Chandler why have you been a jerk lately? That was the last gift that anyone was ever going to give me!"
"What Joe?" Chandler responses confused, sorry and quickly
"You heard Phoebe we're all going to die in the plane crash!" Joey then spasses and yells in panic "Oh my gosh. I forgot to say goodbye to Phoebe. And Rachel. I'm never going to see them again. And my last kiss was the worst kiss I ever had."
"Yeah, mine wasn't too great either, anyway…."
Janice leaned over chandler face, grabbed his cheeks in the palms of her hands, and kissed chandler with all the passion she had, the truth was she missed him, and was lately turned on by anger and loneliness. She wanted a fling, just a fling with chandler.
" Okay I don't know what just happened, but what the hell was that?"
THE HOTEL- Ross and Monica checking in"I paid for the room, and I expect the room, clean, with no dust in sight and no lipstick on the glasses"
After the clerk replies in their perfectly toned way "I'm sorry your rooms are not quite ready yet. Check in time guaranteed around three o'clock."
Ross whispers the question "Before we go does the hotel allow model dinosaurs"
Monica says rudely and kind of shouting "God, Ross, move on Mallula from the Mesozoic Era and Thomas the T Rex are gone. Get on with your life."
The clerk again replies confused and in their snobby perfect tone "That is kind of odd, but yes."
Ross whispers to Monica in a little boyish way "But I can't move on."
THE TEA ROOM- THE HOTEL- MONICA AND ROSS ARE SITTING THERE
Ross says, lazily and fast "So to start up a conversation with you Monica, I found some of Rachel's things in my bag earlier"
Monica replied interested, curious and a little shocked that Ross was talking about Rachel of all people "Oh, and?"
Ross said, "It was just some letters and stuff, a couple pictures from back when we were dating."
Monica replies with all seriousness " Ross, do you still love Rachel."
"No, I love Rach," corrects him self-fast, "I love Emily. I love her with all my heart"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I love Emily" Ross then Over pronounces every syllable of her Emily's name.
"I love, E-M-I-L-Y, Emily! Okay Monica?" he says forcedly.
"Okay Ross calm down! I just want to make sure you know what you're doing Ross."
Monica says this with a sister charm "I am your sister, I don't want you to get hurt, or god forbid divorced again."
"I mean, its Rachel. That's my past, Emily is the present. I know how to move on," Ross straightens up and refuses to admit that he is lying to himself.
THE PLANE- JOEY, CHANDLER, JANICE ARE SITTING THEREJanice yells and again laughs loudly say, "Wasn't I the best kiss ever? HAHAHAHAHA."
Chandler should say "Janice, Janice, hello Janice."
Janice screams and laughs "Chan and Jan forever HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH, just as it should be"
And Joey whispers between clenched teeth "Break up with her now, NOW!"
Chandler should says with control, dignity and courage, and bravery against Janice
"Okay Joe for once I'll do what you want me to do, Janice we are NOT together, You make me want to rip my arm off and throw it at you. You are not even supposed to be here"
When Janice heard what chandler said it took her a minute to understand when she finally got it her heart broke in 2 and then into another 2 million pieces, was it over? Janice sat back and decided to look out the window, because she won the argument with Joey. While she was looking out she remembered them as a couple, memories flashed through her mind. Janice had always thought her and chandler were soul mates, but now that she thought about it, it didn't seem like they were as a reality, they didn't fit, they didn't work, now someone like Monica and chandler would, the memories came up one by one. The memories that went through her head, mind soul and heart were:
Chandler remembered meeting Janice. He was in a cab on one of those nights that no one in their right mind would be out in New York City, raining, not a star in the sky. He was in a cab, which he expected to be unlicensed cab driver, but he was so tired he didn't even care. Monica had him up all night shopping for the Christmas party. All of a sudden there was a sudden jerk, as the driver stopped the car.
"ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME!" a shrew like, high-pitched voice said.
"Got some woman in front of you."
"Sounds more like a she-man."
"Sir, would you go help her."
"Yeah."
He stepped out of the cab and there lying in the road was a beautiful woman. He helped her up and gathered all her Bloomingdales and Macy's bags, and grabbed her hands and lifted her to her feet.
He looked at her. She had amber, wide brown eyes, and long, thick curly dark hair plastered to her forehead and weighted down by the rain. Her square face was covered in scrapes and blood from her fall on the road. So were her pale white hands.
He wasn't sure how long he stared at her. The moonlight shone over the buildings onto her face, and she burst out into screechy, infectious laughter. And at the time, Chandler loved that sound.
"Chandler Bing," he said, "My name is…Chandler Bing. What…" he stutters, splashing in the puddle. "Is yours?"
"Janice Littman, hahahahaha"
Chandler looked back at this memory as the day from Hell now. And Janice looked back it with Chandler as her soul mate. She thought they would be in love for the rest of their lives.
THE TEA ROOM- AT THE HOTEL- Ross and Monica are sitting thereMonica asked slowly an quietly "About the letters and stuff, is it okay if I read them. I mean if you don't mind."
Ross replied quickly and actually quite loudly "no it's none of your business!"
Then Monica challenger her brother to a fair question, that actually had a lot of meaning and sense, and hurt, she knew she was right "Why? I thought you and Rachel were in the past and special things like "the prom video" don't matter anymore?"
Ross says slowly, gloomily and disappointed a bit "Yeah, just don't read them in front of me, it was kind of hard, reading things from Rachel."
"Thanks".
Ross then takes back what he said quickly and naturally not to cause problems by correcting himself: "It's not hard. It is just weird."
Monica whispers and disagrees under her breath "Yeah right, Liar."
MONICA'S APARTMENT- Phoebe and Rachel are there
Phoebe decided to break this sad silence that both her and Rachel shared Rachel was now wiping up her tears with a Kleenex
"You love Ross! Yes I knew it all along! The lobsters are going to be back together before we know it!"
Rachel protests knowing that phoebe was right all along, and Rachel thinks its right " What? No! Like you said before I'm not going to ruin the best day of his life! And I don't love Ross!"
Phoebe reply's dumbly and obviously "Yes you do, you just said it."
"I don't, I do...I actually love Ross."
"See" phoebe replied again very right and matter of factly, see did know it all along even through her hormones
Rachel says " But still phoebe I'm not going to RUIN the BEST day of Ross's life"
Phoebe was now mad, because of her hormones she got up and yelled as she walked like she did a few days earlier "FINE, RUIN THE BEST DAY OF HIS LIFE! AND HE'LL HATE YOU FOREVER AND EVER!" and she slammed the door as hard as ever, once phoebe had left the room Rachel jumped up fro joy and screamed at the top of her lungs
"You are so right Phoebes. You know what you are totally brilliant. I totally should ruin the best day of his life. He should be with me, I am his lobster." And she sat down again, confused about what to do.
THAT NIGHT- RACHEL IN HER BED- with her journalDear journal,
I don't think its fair;
I love Ross.
Ross loves Emily; well I think Ross loves Emily I hope not
So one of us gets hurt no matter what. That is the problem with falling in love; someone gets pushed away. And here is a little secret, I have had my bags packed and ready to go (all six of them) since Monica and Ross, and Joey and Chandler left for London, with something very special for Ross in my bag from Tiffany's.
THE WOMEN"S WASHROOM- IN THE BATHROOM STALL- MONICA
Monica read the beginning of the letter and sighs "oh this is so sweet" and then whispers to herself again "My brother is such an idiot for letting her go. Oh, idiot! Lets see what this is all about"
Monica read the letter from the beach and one by one tears fell on to the first page, the second, the third front and back until the 18th. Monica thought out loud wow they have a long, complicated, and very loving relationship. As she read she found out things about them that she didn't really want to know.
Monica cries while she talks "This is so messed up. Why, is he marrying that British Chippie Emily? Ross and Rachel go back more than a month,"
Then she flips through the pages and get to a part about their sex lives, so not needed information! And then she got to the end it was so sweet, but kind of pushy.
Monica remembered the fighting, she remembered how hurt Rachel was, and seeing the tears well up in her bright blue eyes;
-Just a waitress
-Kind of ditzy
- Spoiled
-Chubby ankles!
Those were Rachel's cons on Ross's list, but Monica knew it took Ross all day to think of these. He loved Rachel, always had. Only an idiot, like Joey, couldn't see the fact that he loved her. No, even Joey knew that.
"How would you like it if someone took everything you don't like about yourself, wrote it down and threw it back into your face?" Rachel screeched.
"Did you look at what it said under Julie's cons?"
"She's not Rachem. Is that your stupid paleontology crap that I'm too stupid to know."
"No, that is supposed to be an L, that idiot, Chandler was supposed to type and "L". It's supposed to say 'She is not Rachel."
But by then she had already slammed the big blue door in his face.
Later that night Ross had called up Monica to put on the radio.
"This song is dedicated from Ross to Rachel. Rachel, Ross is very sorry for what he has done and he hopes you will forgive him."
With Or Without by U2 came on the radio;
See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait without you
With or without you
With or without you
Sometimes Monica still heard Ross singing that song and he still knew all the lyrics by heart.
Wow Monica thought, she hadn't thought of Ross and Rachel for a long time and now she that she was reading the letter, the long letter, and she found out that Ross and Rachel while they were dating had done it 298 times! And some other stuff she won't even mention. And Monica got to the end of the letter, and she was no longer grossed out. "You are Forever in my heart, Rachel." that was so beautiful, she wondered what happened. Did they ever stop loving each other? Or is it really true that two people, who were once so much in love, could stop loving each other. Monica was unsure when she saw the last sentence "does this sound like something you can do, does it?" Monica was now crying 5 million rivers into the toilet so the bathroom wouldn't flood. Monica couldn't figure out this love thing and she was never very good at it, but what she knew was Ross and Rachel belonged together, and she had to do something, but she couldn't and didn't have permission, so she would have to leave it up to Ross and Rachel to deal with themselves. She folded up the 18-page letter front and back and put it in her pocket. Was this what Ross and Rachel wanted, each other or not?
THAT SAME NIGHT- RACHEL IN BED WITH HER JOURNALRachel was sitting in her bed crying, she was heartbroken, more then Janice was earlier, this was Ross, not just a fun, fling of a relationship. She was sitting in her bed with her pillows propped up behind her back, she was flipping through her journal lazily from beginning to end, when she decided to read few of the entries, she never had, the first one she read was the first entry of the year 1997. It read:
DEAR JOURNAL, AUGUST 1, 1997
Ross and I had a huge fight about the "letter" I wrote and the situation we went through with the girl from the copy place, it was horrible I can't even explain it, we just consummated our relationship (sex) for the first time since we had been back together, which probably wasn't the best idea. I made the wrong turn and choice to mention the letter during such the wrong, romantic time. The truth is I feel that the letter was so inappropriate and I asked too much of Ross, it wasn't his entire fault. A relationship takes two people, not just the man and if you asked me yourself, I would say I'm more responsible for why our relationship took so many bashings, and bad moments. I miss Ross, I still love Ross no matter what and I want him back in my life, I don't ever want to lose him.
DEAR JOURNAL,
I just found out that I set Ross up with Emily, the British girl, I was supposed to take her to the opera, but Ross did for me so I could go out with STUPID JOSHUA and he didn't even show! And the way I found out is Ross called from Vermont, at a bed and breakfast, he had to quickly leave though, because there was a deer eating fruit from the orchard. I'm sorry if it's wrong to feel this way but I feel that if Ross dates this Emily, British girl, I'll lose him in my life forever. I miss him and always will.
DEAR JOURNAL,
Ironic, huh? I always thought Ross would ask me to marry him first. He didn't rescue Emily from being dateless at the prom. He didn't give his television gig up to take Emily to the hospital with a hurt rib.
I don't want Ross do know how much this hurts me. I know he can't help whom he fell in love with. But why the British lady, why is she his one true love? Why not me?
Rachel Brokenhearted Karen Green
DEAR JOURNAL,
I don't think I'm doing a bad thing. Everyone says I am, especially Pheebs, but I love Ross. I think I owe him that much. He needs to know that I love him. Right now I am wearing the Frankie Says Relax T-shirt. I remember the time we fought over who got to keep it, he won and then later the next day, he gave it back to me.
I'm kind of scared of ruining everything I've ever had with Ross. There is a possibility that he doesn't love me anymore. That his entire heart is attached to Emily. And Emily is the woman that will have the children I want to have with him. That he will move to London and live happily ever after with her; if you ask me, do I want Ross to be happy, I say yes, but only with me. I know that sounds horrible and cruel and selfish, but I think we fit together.
Sincerely
Rachel, lovesick Karen Green
THE HOTEL- JOEY CHANDLER AND JANICE CHECKING IN
Janice stood looking at Chandler; Joey was trying not to laugh. Janice was broken hearted and tired. Chandler felt guilty, but satisfied,
Janice moved over to the concierge desk and asked
"Excuse me" the concierge didn't look up from what he was doing, he was really into sorting out the receipts, he seemed like he hated his job and didn't care about anyone or anything, but money
"Excuse could I ask you something?" Janice repeated surprisingly without laughing, the man still didn't look up, until his female boss came to inspect what he was doing she spoke.
"Take care of the customers, or ill make u go eat lunch with me and my mother and law,"
"Fine, fire me I wont spend time with your elderly family"
" Go get out of this prestigious hotel, rat scum, now how may I help you mame?"
"I want a hotel faraway from Bing. Now."
He looked up all the hotels and say "I'm sorry ma'am we're all book, entire city"
Janice demands, "I need a room"
The concierge says, "You'll have to stay with the, donut eater and the Bing."
Janice gives Chandler a nasty look and Chandler mimics her nervously "HEheheheHEHEHeHEHe"
THE HOTEL-TEAROOM- Monica and Ross are still sitting there
Monica came out of the Women's Washroom slowly, sadly and quietly like she did in TOW Joey moves out in season 2 when she saw her parents Jack and Judy going at it on the bathroom floor, there was a huge silence, and they looked back and forth at each other, back and forth back and forth, until...
Monica speaks out these words "Ross, does Rachel know u keep those letters with u at all times?"
Ross says "No, and she isn't going to. And neither is Emily,"
Monica asks, "What are you doing?"
Ross is silent
Monica again says, and yells this time "why don't' you want Rachel to know, WHAT ARE YOU DOING!"
