Written by: Peter Tibbals
-----------------------------------------------
[Scene: Central Perk2. Everyone is there but Rachel.]
Phoebe: Ooh, Ross, Mon, is it ok if I bring someone to your parents?anniversary party?
Monica / Ross: Sure!
Joey: Who抯 the guy?
Phoebe: Well, his name抯 Parker. I met him at the dry cleaners.
Chandler: Ooh, did he put a little starch3 in your bloomers? ...who said that?
Phoebe: But he抯 really great though. He has this incredible zest4 for life. And he treats me like a queen. Except at night, when he treats me like the naughty girl that I am.
Monica: Oh, by the way, will it be ok if I give the toast to Mom and Dad this year?
Ross: You sure you want to, after what happened at their twentieth?
Monica: I抎 really want to.
Ross: Ok. Hopefully this time, Mom won抰 boo you.
Monica: Yes! Every year Ross always makes a toast and it抯 really moving and it always makes them cry. This year, I抦 going to make them cry.
Chandler: And you wonder why Ross is their favorite?
Monica: No, really! Every time Ross makes a toast, everyone cries and everyone applauds him and pats him on the back. And they all come up to me and say 揋od...your brother.?You know what they抮e going to say this year? 揋od...you.?
Joey: Well, I can promise you, at least one person will be crying. (points to himself) And I抦 an actor, and any actor worth his soul (?) can (snap) cry on cue.
Monica: Really? You can do that?
Joey: Are you kidding me? Watch. (he tries to cry, but unfortunately doesn抰 have a tweezer ;) ) Well, I can抰 do it with you guys watchin?me!!
Opening Credits
[Scene: Chandler and Monica抯. Chandler comes out of his room. Monica is at the kitchen table, writing. They抮e both dressed up for the party.]
Chandler: What are you doing?
Monica: Oh, I抦 working on the big toast for the party. Or, as I like to call it, Sobfest 2002. Hey, check this out.
(She hands him a photo.)
Chandler: It抯 a dog.
Monica: It抯 a dead dog! That抯 ChiChi. She died when I was in high school.
Chandler: It抯 your parents?anniversary and you抮e going to talk about their dead pet?
Monica: Uh huh!
(Ross, Rachel and Joey enter with presents.)
Rachel: Hiii!
Joey / Ross: Hey!
Monica: Joey, you got a present for my parents? That抯 so sweet.
(Joey holds out a certificate.)
Joey: Yeah, look, in honor of their thirty-fifth anniversary I had a star named after them.
Ross: Oh, that is so cool.
Joey: And, I got them a book on karma-sutra for the elderly.
Rachel: Hey, do you guys have any extra ribbon?
Chandler: Oh, yeah. Sure! (he opens a cabinet) What do you need? We got lace, satin, satine, raffia, gingham, felt...and I think my testicles might be in here too.
(Ross picks up the photo.)
Ross: Oh! ChiChi!! Oh, I love this dog! Oh, uh, Monica couldn抰 get braces6 because ChiChi needed knee surgery.
Monica: What?!
Ross: You were the two hundred pound eleven year old who rode her!
(Phoebe enters with Parker.)
Phoebe: Hey.
Rachel: Hey.
Phoebe: Everybody, this is Parker. Parker, this -
Parker: No, wait, don抰 tell me. Let me guess. Joey, Rachel, Ross, Monica aaannnd...I抦 sorry, Phoebe didn抰 mention you. (Chandler doesn抰 know what to say) Chandler, I抦 kidding! Already, you抮e my favorite. Why don抰 you each tell me a little about yourselves?
Ross: Well, actually, we, we should get going.
(Parker laughs.)
Parker: Oh, classic Ross! Rachel, Rachel, look how your glow. (puts his hands on her belly) May I?
Rachel: Uh, I think you already are.
Parker: Rachel, you have life growing inside you. Is there anything in the world more miraculous8 than - ooh! A picture of a dog!!
(He studies it.)
Monica: That抯 my old dog. He, he passed away years ago.
Parker: Oh, well, at least you were lucky to have him. Bow wow, old friend, bow wow. So, where抯 the party?
Monica: It抯 out on the island. In Massapequa.
Parker: Massapequa. It sounds like a magical place. Tell me about Massapequa. Is it steeped in Native American history?
Ross: Well, there is an Arby抯 in the shape of a teepee.
Monica: Um, I抳e got my note cards. You got the presents?
Chandler: yeah.
Monica: And I抳e got the car keys.
Parker: We抮e driving?
Monica: Yeah.
Parker: Aces7! (?)
(They all leave, except for Ross and Rachel.)
Ross: So he seems like a nice guy.
Rachel: Yeah. I like him a lot.
Ross: Would you like to take our own cab?
Rachel: Yeah, otherwise I抦 not going.
[Scene: The party. Ross and Rachel arrive and the Gellers greet them.]
Ross / Rachel: Hey!
Rachel: Hey, this is such a great party! Thirty-five years, very impressive. Do you have any pearls of wisdom?
Judy: Jack9?
Jack: Why would you serve food on such a sharp stick?
Ross: That抯 a good question, Dad. It抯 a good question.
Woman: Congratulations you two.
Ross: Thank you.
Woman: And also, congratulations on your wedding.
(Ross doesn抰 know what to say.)
Judy: Can we talk to you for just a moment? (pulls them away) It, it was just a little thing. While we think it抯 simply marvelous that you抮e having this baby out of wedlock10, some of our friends are less open minded. That is why we told them you were married.
Ross / Rachel: What?!!
Judy: Thank you for going along with this.
(She walks away.)
Ross: What? Dad, we have to pretend that we抮e married?
Jack: I had to shave my ears for tonight. You can do this.
(He leaves.)
Ross: Can you believe that?
Rachel: Yeah! If you抮e going to do the ears, you might as well take a pass at the nose a little.
Ross: No, I don抰 want to lie about us being married.
Rachel: But you know what, it抯 their party, and it抯 their night. And we don抰 even have to lie. We don抰 have to say anything. If it comes up again, we抣l smile and nod along.
Aunt Lisa: Ross! Rachel!
Ross: Hi Aunt Lisa, Uncle Dan.
(They hug.)
All: Hi.
Aunt Lisa: Congratulations on the baby. And the wedding.
(Ross and Rachel smile and nod along.)
Uncle Dan: Here抯 a little something to get you started.
(He gives Ross money.)
Aunt Lisa: So how抯 married life treating you?
Rachel / Ross: Unbelievable! / I love marriage!
Rachel: Great.
(The rest of the gang enters.)
Parker: What a beautiful place. What a beautiful night. I have to tell you, being here in Event Room C, I feel so lucky. To think of the good times that have happened here. The birthdays, the mitzvahs, the bar and botts (?)! But none of that will compare with tonight. But God, I don抰 want to forget this. It抯 like I want to take a mental picture of you all! (holds out his hands) Click!
Chandler: I don抰 think the flash went off.
(Parker hits him on the back, hard. He grimaces11.)
Parker: I抦 going to go find the men抯 room. I抣l be right back.
Phoebe: I抣l go with you!
(They leave.)
Chandler: Somewhere, there抯 someone with a tranquilizer gun and a butterfly net, looking for that man.
Joey: I have to go to the bathroom too, but I don抰 want him complimentin?my thing.
Ross: So what all happened in the car? Did he ever let up?
Monica: He called the Long Island Express Way a concrete miracle.
Ross: Oh. 揟his room! This night! That waiter! His shoes!!?(Phoebe抯 behind him) 揑 must take a mental picture.?(bumps into her) Ooh.
Phoebe: You guys making fun of Parker?
Ross: That depends. How much did you hear?
Phoebe: Well, he抯 a little enthusiastic. What抯 wrong with that?
Monica: It抯, it抯 a little much.
Phoebe: Well, so what? I like him! Have I made fun of the people you抳e dated? Tag? Janice? Mona? No! Because friends don抰 do that. But do you want my opinion? In my opinion, your collective dating record reads like a who抯 who of human crap!
(She leaves.)
Monica: I feel terrible.
Joey: I know.
Ross: What was wrong with Mona?!
Commercial Break
[Scene: The party. Ross and Rachel are looking at the money and cards they抳e received.]
Rachel: Open it, open it, open it!
(Ross does.)
Ross: Yeah, baby.
(A couple comes up.)
Man: We were so happy to hear about your wedding.
Woman: We were surprised we weren抰 invited.
Ross: Oh, no, no, it was just our parents and two of our friends. A small wedding.
Rachel: I mean, it was small, but kind of spectacular.
Man: Where did you have it?
Rachel: On a cliff. In Barbados. At sunset. And Stevie Wonder sang Isn抰 She Lovely as I walked down the aisle12.
Woman: Really?
Rachel: Yeah. Stevie抯 an old family friend.
Woman: My God, that sounds amazing. I抎 love to see pictures.
Rachel: So would I! You wouldn抰 think that Andy Leibowitz would forget to put film in the camera.
Ross: Would you, would you, excuse us for a second? (they walk away) Um, what are you doing?
Rachel: What? I抦 not you. This may be the only wedding I抣l ever have! I want it to be amazing.
Ross: Oh. Ok. Ooh! Ooh, maybe I rode in on a motorcycle.
Rachel: It has to be realistic.
(Pan over to Phoebe and Parker. They go over to the buffet13.)
Parker: Uh, are you ok? You seem kinda quiet.
Phoebe: I抦 fine. I抦 great. I抦 with you.
Parker: And I抦 with you! It抯 a great time to be alive! Look at this plate bouncy thing. (messes with it) What an inspired solution to man抯 plate dispensing14 problems.
Phoebe: Yeah.
Parker: Ah, oysters16. Let me feed you one.
Phoebe: Uh, actually, I -
Parker: Here.
Phoebe: I don抰 eat -
Parker: I won抰 quit til you try one.
Phoebe: Ok. (she dumps it on the floor when he抯 not looking) Mmm. Mm-hmm.
Parker: What are they like? I抳e never had one.
Phoebe: Why don抰 you just try one?
Parker: Nah, they look too weird17.
(Cut to Chandler and Monica at a table. Monica is reviewing her cards.)
Chandler: What are you doing?
Monica: Just reviewing my notes. Those two will never know what hit them. I can抰 wait. They抣l be crying so hard that they抣l be fighting for breath.
Chandler: You know, if you want to, I could just hold them down and you could just...
(He demonstrates beating them up.)
(Cut to Ross and Rachel. Rachel is telling about the 搘edding?to a crowd of women.)
Rachel: ...and my veil was lace, made by blind Belgian nuns18.
Woman 1: Blind?
Rachel: Well, not at first. It was very intricate work, and even though they lost their sign, they said it was worth it.
Woman 2: Aw. I bet you looked beautiful.
Rachel: Oh, I don抰 know about that, but there were some people who said I looked like a floating angel.
Woman 1: How did you propose?
Rachel: Oh yeah, that抯 a good story.
Ross: Well, uh, actually, I took her to the planetarium19. That抯, that抯 where we had our first date. She walked in, and I had the room filled with lilies, her favorite flower.
Woman 2: How sweet!
Rachel: Ssh1 I want to hear the rest!
Ross: Then Fred Astaire singing The Way You Look Tonight came on the sound system. And the lights came down and I got on one knee, and written across the dome20 in the stars were the words 揥ill you marry me??
All: Ohhh...
Rachel: And the ring was the size of my fist!
(Pan over to Phoebe. Joey sits down with her.)
Joey: Hey, Phoebe. I want to apologize for before. We were all being jerks. Parker抯 a nice guy and I抎 really like to get to know him.
Phoebe: You better do it now.
Joey: Why?
Phoebe: Cause I抦 going to kill him.
Joey: What, what?
Phoebe: You guys were right. He抯 just too excited about everything! I抦 all for living life, but this is the Gellers?thirty-fifth anniversary. Let抯 call a spade a spade. This party stinks21!
Joey: I know. I抦 having the worst time. There was a fifteen minute line to the buffet and when I finally got up to the plates, I slipped on a giant booger!
Phoebe: Are you sure it wasn抰 an oyster15?
Joey: I guess it could抳e been. I didn抰 really look at it. I just wiped it on Chandler抯 coat and got the hell out of there.
Phoebe: It抯 just that he抯 such a great guy. I抦 so excited about him.
Joey: Oh, hey, you, you should be excited about him. There抯 nothing wrong with him. He, he抯 a great guy.
Phoebe: You think?
Joey: Yeah! You know what I think? I think we were all being too negative.
Phoebe: Y択now, he was just embracing life. We could all stand to be a little like Parker. You know what, I am like him. I抦 a sunny, positive person.
Joey: Actually, you have a little bit of an edge.
Phoebe: What抯 that now? (Parker puts his arms around her) Oh, it抯 Parker!
Parker: They抮e doing the bunny hop5.
Phoebe: Oh, I love it!
Parker: You do?
Phoebe: People acting22 like animals to music? Come on!
(Monica is onstage. She hits a spoon against her wine glass.)
Monica: Ok, it抯 time for the toast. Um, now, I know Ross normally gives the toast, but this year I抦 going to do it.
Everyone: Awww...
Monica: No, it抯 going to be great, really. Mom, Dad, when I got married, the reason that I knew I could do it was the amazing example you set for me. For that and for so many other things, I want to say thank you. I know I probably don抰 say it enough, but I love you. (pretends to wipe away a tear, but no one抯 crying) When I look around this room, I抦 saddened by the thought of those who could not be with us. Nana, my beloved grandmother who would so wanna be here. But she can抰. Because she抯 dead. As is our dog, ChiChi. (holds out the photo) I mean, look how cute she is! Was. (to a man) Can you do me a favor and pass this to my parents? (hands him the photo) Remember, she抯 dead. Her and Nana. Gone. (Jack and Judy look at the photo) Wow! Hey, does anyone remember when Debra Winger had to say goodbye to her children in Terms of Endearment23? (Chandler covers his eyes) You didn抰 see that? No movie fans!! You want to hear something sad? Last night, on 60 Minutes, they had this thing on these orphans24 in Romania who have been so neglected that they were incapable25 of love! (silence) You people are made of stone!!! Here抯 to Mom and Dad. Whatever!
(She goes offstage.)
Judy: Thank you Monica, that was...interesting. Wasn抰 it interesting, Jack?
(He抯 looking at the photo still.)
Jack: Why don抰 I remember this dog?
Judy: Ross, why don抰 you give us your toast now?
Ross: Oh, no, Mom, it抯 just Monica this year.
Judy: You抮e not going to say anything? On our thirty-fifth wedding anniversary?
Ross: No, of course. (gets up) Everybody, uh, I just wanted to say, uh, on behalf of my new bride, Rachel (she smiles) and myself, if, if in thirty-five years we抮e half as happy as you guys are, we抣l count ourselves the luckiest people in the world.
(Judy starts crying.)
Judy: Oh Ross...
Jack: (also crying) I just wish Nana were alive to hear Ross抯 toast.
(Monica rolls her eyes.)
[Scene: Phoebe憇 place. Phoebe and Parker enter.]
Parker: My God, what a fantastically well-lit hallway.
Phoebe: Can I, uh, get you something to drink? Water? Valium?
Parker: I must say, this apartment, it抯, it抯...there are no words.
Phoebe: Oh.
Parker: ...a haven26. A third floor paradise. A modern day Eden in the midst of -
Phoebe: Yeah, I know, I know. It ???. Let抯, um, why don抰 we just sit and relax and y択now, be with each other.
(They sit on the couch.)
Parker: That sounds good.
Phoebe: Yeah.
Parker: My God, this is the most comfortable couch I抳e ever sat in in my entire life!
(He bounces up and down.)
Phoebe: Ok, let抯 try something else. Let抯 play a game.
Parker: I love games.
Phoebe: Shocking! Let抯 play the game of, uh, who can stay quiet the longest.
Parker: Or Jenga!
Phoebe: Let, let抯 play this one first. And remember, whoever talks first loses.
(One one-thousand, two one-thousand.)
Parker: I lose. Now Jenga!
Phoebe: Oh my God, oh my God!!
Parker: Is something wrong?
Phoebe: Really? You know the word wrong? Everything isn抰 perfect. Everything isn抰 magical. Everything isn抰 aglow27 in the light of a million fairies!!! They were just brake lights, Parker!!
Parker: Well, excuse me for putting a good spin on a traffic jam.
Phoebe: You don抰 have to put a good spin on everything!
Parker: I抦 sorry. That抯 who I am. I抦 a positive person.
Phoebe: No, I抦 a positive person! You are like Santa Claus on Prozac. In Disneyland. Getting laid!
Parker: So what do you want me to do? You want me to be more negative, to be less happy?
Phoebe: More less happy.
Parker: Fine. Then, to quote Ross, I better be going!
Phoebe: So long! Hey, don抰 let the best door in the world hit you in the ass1 on your way out!
(She shuts the door. He knocks, and she opens it again.)
Parker: Isn抰 this the most incredible fight you抳e ever had in your entire life?
(Phoebe slams it shut one last time.)
[Scene: Ross and Rachel抯.]
Ross: And then we could抳e gone from the ceremony to the reception with you in the sidecar.
Rachel: But Ross, it wouldn抰 have been feasible.
Ross: But having a dove place the ring on your finger would抳e been no problem.
Rachel: It was really fun being married to you tonight.
Ross: And, and, it was the easiest four hundred bucks28 I ever made.
Rachel: Ross, can I, uh, can I ask you something? That proposal at the planetarium...
Ross: I know, I know, it was stupid.
Rachel: With the, with the lilies and the song? Ross, it was really wonderful. Did you just make that up?
Ross: Actually, I thought about it when we were going out. I imagined I would ask you to marry me.
Rachel: It would抳e been, it would抳e been very hard to say no to.
Ross: Well, I抦 glad I didn抰 do it because it sounds like a very expensive wedding. Ok, Good night.
Rachel: Good night.
Ross: Uh, even if the sidecar had a, had a windscreen so that your hair wouldn抰 get messed up -
Rachel: I will think about it!
Ross: It抯 all I抦 asking.

Phoebe: I抦 fine. I抦 great. I抦 with you.
Parker: And I抦 with you! It抯 a great time to be alive! Look at this plate bouncy thing. (messes with it) What an inspired solution to man抯 plate dispensing problems.
Phoebe: Yeah.
Parker: Ah, oysters. Let me feed you one.
Phoebe: Uh, actually, I -
Parker: Here.
Phoebe: I don抰 eat -
Parker: I won抰 quit til you try one.
Phoebe: Ok. (she dumps it on the floor when he抯 not looking) Mmm. Mm-hmm.
Parker: What are they like? I抳e never had one.
Phoebe: Why don抰 you just try one?
Parker: Nah, they look too weird.
(Cut to Chandler and Monica at a table. Monica is reviewing her cards.)
Chandler: What are you doing?
Monica: Just reviewing my notes. Those two will never know what hit them. I can抰 wait. They抣l be crying so hard that they抣l be fighting for breath.
Chandler: You know, if you want to, I could just hold them down and you could just...
(He demonstrates beating them up.)
(Cut to Ross and Rachel. Rachel is telling about the 搘edding?to a crowd of women.)
Rachel: ...and my veil was lace, made by blind Belgian nuns.
Woman 1: Blind?
Rachel: Well, not at first. It was very intricate work, and even though they lost their sign, they said it was worth it.
Woman 2: Aw. I bet you looked beautiful.
Rachel: Oh, I don抰 know about that, but there were some people who said I looked like a floating angel.
Woman 1: How did you propose?
Rachel: Oh yeah, that抯 a good story.
Ross: Well, uh, actually, I took her to the planetarium. That抯, that抯 where we had our first date. She walked in, and I had the room filled with lilies, her favorite flower.
Woman 2: How sweet!
Rachel: Ssh1 I want to hear the rest!
Ross: Then Fred Astaire singing The Way You Look Tonight came on the sound system. And the lights came down and I got on one knee, and written across the dome in the stars were the words 揥ill you marry me??
All: Ohhh...
Rachel: And the ring was the size of my fist!
(Pan over to Phoebe. Joey sits down with her.)
Joey: Hey, Phoebe. I want to apologize for before. We were all being jerks. Parker抯 a nice guy and I抎 really like to get to know him.
Phoebe: You better do it now.
Joey: Why?
Phoebe: Cause I抦 going to kill him.
Joey: What, what?
Phoebe: You guys were right. He抯 just too excited about everything! I抦 all for living life, but this is the Gellers?thirty-fifth anniversary. Let抯 call a spade a spade. This party stinks!
Joey: I know. I抦 having the worst time. There was a fifteen minute line to the buffet and when I finally got up to the plates, I slipped on a giant booger!
Phoebe: Are you sure it wasn抰 an oyster?
Joey: I guess it could抳e been. I didn抰 really look at it. I just wiped it on Chandler抯 coat and got the hell out of there.
Phoebe: It抯 just that he抯 such a great guy. I抦 so excited about him.
Joey: Oh, hey, you, you should be excited about him. There抯 nothing wrong with him. He, he抯 a great guy.
Phoebe: You think?
Joey: Yeah! You know what I think? I think we were all being too negative.
Phoebe: Y択now, he was just embracing life. We could all stand to be a little like Parker. You know what, I am like him. I抦 a sunny, positive person.
Joey: Actually, you have a little bit of an edge.
Phoebe: What抯 that now? (Parker puts his arms around her) Oh, it抯 Parker!
Parker: They抮e doing the bunny hop.
Phoebe: Oh, I love it!
Parker: You do?
Phoebe: People acting like animals to music? Come on!
(Monica is onstage. She hits a spoon against her wine glass.)
Monica: Ok, it抯 time for the toast. Um, now, I know Ross normally gives the toast, but this year I抦 going to do it.
Everyone: Awww...
Monica: No, it抯 going to be great, really. Mom, Dad, when I got married, the reason that I knew I could do it was the amazing example you set for me. For that and for so many other things, I want to say thank you. I know I probably don抰 say it enough, but I love you. (pretends to wipe away a tear, but no one抯 crying) When I look around this room, I抦 saddened by the thought of those who could not be with us. Nana, my beloved grandmother who would so wanna be here. But she can抰. Because she抯 dead. As is our dog, ChiChi. (holds out the photo) I mean, look how cute she is! Was. (to a man) Can you do me a favor and pass this to my parents? (hands him the photo) Remember, she抯 dead. Her and Nana. Gone. (Jack and Judy look at the photo) Wow! Hey, does anyone remember when Debra Winger had to say goodbye to her children in Terms of Endearment? (Chandler covers his eyes) You didn抰 see that? No movie fans!! You want to hear something sad? Last night, on 60 Minutes, they had this thing on these orphans in Romania who have been so neglected that they were incapable of love! (silence) You people are made of stone!!! Here抯 to Mom and Dad. Whatever!
(She goes offstage.)
Judy: Thank you Monica, that was...interesting. Wasn抰 it interesting, Jack?
(He抯 looking at the photo still.)
Jack: Why don抰 I remember this dog?
Judy: Ross, why don抰 you give us your toast now?
Ross: Oh, no, Mom, it抯 just Monica this year.
Judy: You抮e not going to say anything? On our thirty-fifth wedding anniversary?
Ross: No, of course. (gets up) Everybody, uh, I just wanted to say, uh, on behalf of my new bride, Rachel (she smiles) and myself, if, if in thirty-five years we抮e half as happy as you guys are, we抣l count ourselves the luckiest people in the world.
(Judy starts crying.)
Judy: Oh Ross...
Jack: (also crying) I just wish Nana were alive to hear Ross抯 toast.
(Monica rolls her eyes.)
[Scene: Phoebe憇 place. Phoebe and Parker enter.]
Parker: My God, what a fantastically well-lit hallway.
Phoebe: Can I, uh, get you something to drink? Water? Valium?
Parker: I must say, this apartment, it抯, it抯...there are no words.
Phoebe: Oh.
Parker: ...a haven. A third floor paradise. A modern day Eden in the midst of -
Phoebe: Yeah, I know, I know. It ???. Let抯, um, why don抰 we just sit and relax and y択now, be with each other.
(They sit on the couch.)
Parker: That sounds good.
Phoebe: Yeah.
Parker: My God, this is the most comfortable couch I抳e ever sat in in my entire life!
(He bounces up and down.)
Phoebe: Ok, let抯 try something else. Let抯 play a game.
Parker: I love games.
Phoebe: Shocking! Let抯 play the game of, uh, who can stay quiet the longest.
Parker: Or Jenga!
Phoebe: Let, let抯 play this one first. And remember, whoever talks first loses.
(One one-thousand, two one-thousand.)
Parker: I lose. Now Jenga!
Phoebe: Oh my God, oh my God!!
Parker: Is something wrong?
Phoebe: Really? You know the word wrong? Everything isn抰 perfect. Everything isn抰 magical. Everything isn抰 aglow in the light of a million fairies!!! They were just brake lights, Parker!!
Parker: Well, excuse me for putting a good spin on a traffic jam.
Phoebe: You don抰 have to put a good spin on everything!
Parker: I抦 sorry. That抯 who I am. I抦 a positive person.
Phoebe: No, I抦 a positive person! You are like Santa Claus on Prozac. In Disneyland. Getting laid!
Parker: So what do you want me to do? You want me to be more negative, to be less happy?
Phoebe: More less happy.
Parker: Fine. Then, to quote Ross, I better be going!
Phoebe: So long! Hey, don抰 let the best door in the world hit you in the ass on your way out!
(She shuts the door. He knocks, and she opens it again.)
Parker: Isn抰 this the most incredible fight you抳e ever had in your entire life?
(Phoebe slams it shut one last time.)
[Scene: Ross and Rachel抯.]
Ross: And then we could抳e gone from the ceremony to the reception with you in the sidecar.
Rachel: But Ross, it wouldn抰 have been feasible.
Ross: But having a dove place the ring on your finger would抳e been no problem.
Rachel: It was really fun being married to you tonight.
Ross: And, and, it was the easiest four hundred bucks I ever made.
Rachel: Ross, can I, uh, can I ask you something? That proposal at the planetarium...
Ross: I know, I know, it was stupid.
Rachel: With the, with the lilies and the song? Ross, it was really wonderful. Did you just make that up?
Ross: Actually, I thought about it when we were going out. I imagined I would ask you to marry me.
Rachel: It would抳e been, it would抳e been very hard to say no to.
Ross: Well, I抦 glad I didn抰 do it because it sounds like a very expensive wedding. Ok, Good night.
Rachel: Good night.
Ross: Uh, even if the sidecar had a, had a windscreen so that your hair wouldn抰 get messed up -
Rachel: I will think about it!
Ross: It抯 all I抦 asking.
Closing Credits
[Scene: Central Perk. Ross and Monica are there.]
Monica: Uh, that抯 it. I give up. At Mom and Dad抯 fortieth anniversary, you抮e the one giving the speech.
Ross: I don抰 understand why they didn抰 cry. It was a beautiful speech.
Monica: Come on.
Ross: Hey, all that stuff you said about true love? You were right. I mean, we did learn a lot from Mom and Dad. And that picture of ChiChi with you mischievous29 grin. And what you said about Nana. Oh yeah, she really would抳e wanted to be there. And you know what? I think she was.
Monica: (crying) Oh, good God, Ross, how do you do it?
