Chandler: I抣l tell you what, I will go get them developed and you can go home.
Monica: Okay.
(Joey giggles.)
Chandler: What? What did you take a picture of?
Joey: Nothing! It was something.
Chandler: Okay Ross has the cameras, has he checked out yet?
Rachel: Are you joking? Check out is not 憈il noon and he has a good (checks her watch) eleven minutes left.
Chandler: Oh.
Monica: Ross has never checked out of a room a minute before he had to.
Rachel: Yeah, one time, when we were dating, uh we got a late checkout, he got so excited it was the best sex we ever had. Until y択now, he screamed out Radisson at the end.
Chandler: Okay, well I抦 gonna get Ross, get the cameras, and get them developed. (Joey laughs again.) 32 Joe. You抮e 32! (Exits)

Ross: Hi.
Chandler: Hey. (He sees that Ross is packing all of the hotel toiletries) Soaps? Shampoos? Are you really taking all this stuff?

Ross: What disposable cameras?
Chandler: The cameras? Remember last night I told you to take them?
Ross: No you didn抰.
Chandler: Yes! Remember? Right before we cut the cake, I went up to you and I said?
Ross: Oh-oh yeah, you-you came up to me and asked if I could do you a favor, and my Uncle Murray came up to you and handed you a check. And then you said, "Why do they call it a check? Why not a Yugoslavian?" (Chandler laughs.) Yeah, then you did that.
Chandler: So you don抰 have the cameras?!
Ross: No. Sorry man.
Chandler: So? What? What? They抮e gone! Monica抯 gonna freak!
Ross: Well, I抦 sure they抮e still somewhere here in the hotel. I抣l-I抣l help you look for them.
Chandler: Great.
Ross: In-in three minutes.
(Chandler goes into the bathroom, closes the door, and then opens it again right away. Ross looks up and hands him the toilet paper Ross already packed.)
[Scene: Monica and Chandler's, Phoebe is entering to see Monica sitting in front of a mound of wedding gifts.]
Phoebe: Hey!
Monica: Hey!
Phoebe: Are you gonna open the presents without Chandler?
Monica: No! (Pause) But, they抮e callin?out to me! I mean this little guy (Holds up a small one) even crawled up into my lap. Oh come on, Chandler wouldn抰 mind if I opened just one present! What do you think it is?
Phoebe: A little mirror that when you look into it you see yourself as an old woman.
(Monica opens it anyways.)
Monica: A tiny salt shaker!!!
Phoebe: Ohhh! My God! For tiny salt!
Monica: Oh wow! Okay. Well that was fun.
Phoebe: Oh yeah.
Monica: Good. Okay, I抦 just gonna wait for Chandler to open the rest of them.
Phoebe: Okay.
Monica: Whew. Although y択now, this is part of a salt and pepper set. I mean?I guess y択now it may just count as a half a present. What do you think?
Phoebe: Well I guess it抯 okay to open one more if it抯 part of a set. Y択now, it抯 probably this one. (Grabs another small one.)
Monica: Or this one! (She grabs and starts to open the biggest present.)
Rachel: (entering) Hi.
Monica: Hey, how are you feelin? Any morning sickness?
Rachel: Shh-shh-shh! The guys don抰 know yet do they?
Monica: No! Joey and Ross don抰 know anything and Chandler still thinks that Phoebe抯 pregnant.
Phoebe: Yeah that抯 right Chandler does still think I抦 pregnant. He hasn抰 asked me how I抦 feeling or offered to carry my bags. Boy, I feel bad for the woman who ends up with him. (Monica looks at her.) After you of course.
Rachel: Don抰 worry I promise that you will only have to be pregnant for a few more hours, 慶ause I抦 going to tell the father today.
Phoebe: Ooh, is it someone in this building? Is it that tall guy from the first floor?
Rachel: Ew! No!
Phoebe: What?! I think he抯 cute.
Rachel: Well then you have his baby.
Phoebe: Believe me I抦 trying.
Monica: Wow. Y択now it is so weird. I mean, you抮e gonna tell this guy today and he has no idea what抯 gonna happen.
Phoebe: Yeah. You抮e just gonna knock on his door and change his life forever. You抮e like Ed McMahon except without the big check, or the raw sexual magnetism.
Rachel: Yeah. Uh-huh, I guess it is pretty big news.
Phoebe: Pretty big? It抯 huge! God, this guy doesn抰 have a clue! He抯 just walking down the street thinking, 慖 had sex with Rachel Green. I rock!?then bam! He抯 a father and everything抯 different.
Rachel: Well it抯 only different if he wants it to be. I mean, I抦 not gonna ask him for anything.
Phoebe: Okay. Then he still has this huge decision to make. Now he抯 walking around thinking, 慏o I want to be a dad??and then bam!
Monica: What was that bam?
Phoebe: I don抰. He got卙e-he-he-he抯 hit by a bus.

Rachel: Hey Joey, what would you do if someone that you slept with told you that she was pregnant?
Joey: (warily) Who called here? Did she sound blond? Huh? Did-did-did she have an accent? I gotta make a call! (Starts to leave) I shoulda never walked into that Sunglass Hut!
Rachel: Oh Joey! Joey! No, it抯 not you! You didn抰 get anybody pregnant!
Joey: Oh. Why would you scare me like that? What the hell is going on? (Pause.) Is somebody pregnant?
Phoebe: Oh yeah. That抯 me.
Joey: Oh my God Pheebs! You抮e gonna have a baby?
Phoebe: Yes. Yes I am. Oh my God, I抦 gonna have a baby! (Joey and Phoebe hug.)
Joey: Whoa, wait a minute. Who抯 the father?
Phoebe: You don抰 know him. It抯 not important. He wants nothing to do with me or the baby. (She sits down like she抯 pregnant.)
Joey: Well who is this guy?! Huh? Who is he? 慍ause I will track him down and kick his ass!
Phoebe: David Lynn.
Joey: David Lynn! David Lynn! David Lynn!! (Exits)

Ross: No. Did you?
Chandler: Yes! And that抯 why I抦 under the table. Celebrating.
Ross: Well I checked in the uh, lost and found, I talked to the manager, no-one抯 turned them.
Chandler: Well this is great. Y択now, those cameras were the only thing that was gonna cheer Monica up today, she抯 really depressed.
Ross: Now you guys just got married, why is she so depressed?
Chandler: All my energy is going into not asking that question. I can抰 believe I screwed this up!
Ross: I抦 sorry man. (Formally dressed people start to enter.) Here抯 a thought. This is the same ballroom. There抯 a band. There抯 gonna be plenty of dressed up people.
Chandler: Are you suggesting we dance our troubles away?
Ross: No-no-no, I抦 saying we-we buy more of this (disposable cameras) at the gift shop, throw our tuxes back on, and take a few pictures. All we have to do is make sure not to get anybody else抯 faces.
Chandler: Are you serious?
Ross: I抦 just thinking about your new bride at home. Okay? Do-do you really want to start your life together by letting her down?
Chandler: Marriage advice? Really?!
Ross: I抦 telling you, this looks exactly like your wedding! Aren抰 these the same flowers?
Chandler: I don抰 know, Monica picked out the flowers.
Ross: What about the chairs?
Chandler: She picked those out too.
Ross: How about the place settings?

Phoebe: Bus?
Rachel: No, you! Phoebe you freaked me out. You kept saying how huge this all is!
Phoebe: Well-well but it is huge.
Rachel: I know, but I was just thinking about how huge this is for me. I didn抰 even go to how huge this was going to be for the father.
Phoebe: You抮e thinking about this way too much. Just tell him and get it over with. It抯 like, it抯 like ripping off this Band-Aid. (On her arm) Quick and painless, watch. (Rips it off.) Oh mother of匰ee?

Rachel: What? Hey wait a minute! Phoebe, how do you even know who the father is?
Phoebe: I may play the fool at times, but I抦 a little more than a pretty blond girl with an ass that won抰 quit. (She takes the sweater out of her purse.) I believe this belongs to the father of your baby.
Rachel: Oh God?Oh, he抯 in there right now?

Tag: What抯 going on Rach?
