A 'Joey' Moment
------------
-------
Joey bursts into the coffee house excitedly and races up to Chandler on the sofa. He can hardly contain himself.
Joey: "Dude! I'm going to be a millionaire!"
Chandler (sarcastically): "You mean you didn't become a millionaire with your amazing discovery last week that dental floss isn't candy floss for dentists?"
Joey (eyes widening in realisation): "Then I'm going to be a double millionaire!"
Chandler groans in silent frustration.
Monica and Rachael walk up with three cups of coffee. They hand one to Chandler and settle themselves on the couch.
Monica (kindly): "So how are you going to be a millionaire, Joe?"
Joey: "I'm a mind reader!"
She gives him a sceptical look.
Joey (persistently): "I am! Think of a number. Go on, think of one!"
Monica (after a few seconds): "Ok, I've got one."
She waits.
Joey waits.
They wait some more.
Joey (looking at Monica as if she is an idiot): "So what is it?"
Monica (raising her eyebrows): "You want me to tell you the number?"
Joey (rolling his eyes): "Well how can I tell if I've guessed it correctly if you don't tell me what the number is?"
He indicates to Chandler how insane Monica is with a gesture.
Monica (narrowing her eyes): "Seven thousand, four hundred and twenty-five."
Joey (exclaiming loudly): "I knew it!"
Monica: "What?"
Joey: "I knew that was your number! I guessed it right!"
He turns to Chandler and grins triumphantly in an 'I-told-you-so' way.
Joey: "See? I am a mind reader!"
Everyone rolls their eyes.
Chandler leans forward.
Chandler (smirking): "Say Joe, I can read minds too."
Joey (pityingly): "You don't have to pretend to have a gift, Chandler. It's ok to be average."
He pats his best friend on the shoulder.
Chandler (feigning seriousness): "No - I'm telling the truth. Go on, think of a number."
He waits a few seconds.
Chandler (smirking): "Between 3 and 5."
Joey thinks hard.
Chandler (pretending to think deeply): Is your number -
Joey: Hey hold up, give me a bit of time!
Everyone stares incredulously at Joey.
Joey (finally): Ok, I've got one.
Chandler: Is it four?
Joey's eyes widen in surprise.
Joey: Dude! We can be a double-act!
Chandler: I think you're a double-act all by yourself, Joe.
