 [Scene: Central Perk¹, Joey is getting a phone number from a woman (Casey) as Chandler watches from the doorway².]

 

Casey: Here you go.

Joey: Great! All right, so I'll call you later.

Casey: Great! (leaves) 

 

Chandler: (rushing up) Hey-Hey-Hey! Who was that?

Joey: That would be Casey. We're going out tonight.

Chandler: Goin' out, huh? Wow! Wow! (Does a little celebration dance) So things didn't work out with Kathy, huh? Bummer.

Joey: No, things are fine with Kathy. I'm having a late dinner with her tonight, but after my early dinner with Casey.

Chandler: (shocked) What?

Joey: Yeah-yeah. And the craziest thing is that I just ate a whole pizza by myself! (Laughs) 

Chandler: Wait! You're going out with Kathy!

Joey: Yeah. Why are you getting so upset?

Chandler: Well, I'm upset -- for you. I mean, having sex with an endless line of beautiful women must be very unfulfilling for you. (He can't believe he just said that.) 

Joey: What is the big deal? It's not like we're exclusive.

Chandler: Look, Joey, Kathy is clearly not fulfilling your emotional needs. But Casey, I mean granted I just saw the back of her head, but I got this sense that she's-she's smart, and funny, and gets you.

Joey: You got all that from the back of her head?

Chandler: All right look, I just think it's time for you to settle down. Y'know? Make a choice, pick a lane.

Joey: Who's Elaine?
