[Monica and Chandler's/Monica and Rachel's apartment]


{Monica and Nic are hanging out}


Chandler: (entering holding a moving box) it's moving day baby!

Monica: hey sweetie (kisses him)

Nic: oh please don't you guys ever rest

Chandler: good morning Nic (sets the box down)

Nic: need any help?

Chandler: no thanks

Rachel: (trying to get a huge box through her door) but I do!


(Chandler, Monica, and Nic rush to help her)


Rachel: Mon what are you doing, go sit down

Monica: what!? No coffee, no working, no helping people. What am I supposed to do?

Nic: do what I do on Saturdays

Monica: which is?

Nic: nothing

Monica: I don't' think I can do that

Nic: it's easy watch (goes to the couch and turns on the TV…looking very comfortable)

Chandler: uh Nic?

Nic: (realizes) oh yeah (gets back up to help the others)

Monica: well I'll try my best (sits on the couch)


C*R*E*D*I*T*S


[Monica and Chandler's apartment]


{More of Chandler's boxes are there. Joey, Kate, Ross, and Phoebe are there too}


Monica: who's hungry

Nic: ooh I am

All: me too, yes, etc.

Monica: great I'll make some sandwiches anyone want to help?

Rachel: you're actually letting someone help you cook, I think I like this whole pregnant thing

Monica: (smiles at Rachel) so who's helping (looks in the fridge) oh you know what I need to go to the store

Nic: I'll come with you

Monica: anyone else?

Kate: I guess I'll tag along too

Monica: great


(They leave)


Joey: so Chandler are you going to call that TV guy today?

Chandler: yeah I think so

Joey: that's awesome dude

Ross: what TV guy

Chandler: yeah the casting director at Joey's audition, the other day, wants me to play the part of the main guy

Phoebe: who's the main girl?

Chandler: I don't know

Joey: you know "Party of Five" just ended. If you're lucky maybe Neve Campbell will get the part

Ross: oh I loved her in that one movie…"The Craft"

Chandler: Neve Campbell, be real. We'd never make a good onscreen couple anyway

Rachel: I don't know I think I can see it

Phoebe: Chandler Bing and Neve Campbell…yeah right


[Store-Monica, Nic, and Kate]


Monica: ok we need everything to make sandwiches

Nic: here's the bread (puts it in the cart)

Kate: so Monica, what made you decide to get together Chandler after all this time

Monica: I'm not sure exactly. I guess it was a lot of things that made me fall in love with him.

Nic: well while you take a walk down memory lane, I'm going to the candy aisle

Monica: okay get me some gummy bears (Nic leaves) like the way he's always there for me and the way he makes me laugh and just…lots of things. I just feel kind of bad that I had to get drunk to realize all of that.

Kate: aw that's sweet. I think I knew I wanted to be with Joey after the night a long time ago when he stayed with me after Marshal dumped me. I got so drunk and everything, but he never left my side.

Monica: I remember hearing about that night. You know he was really heart broken when you left

Kate: I know, I was too. I just had to give my career a shot though

Monica: I understand


[Joey and Kate's apartment]


{Joey and Chandler are getting more of Chandler's stuff}


Chandler: hey Joe, why don't you keep my chair. You know because it doesn't really fit with the apartment, and it's kinda big, and…

Joey: Monica won't let you keep it

Chandler: nope


[Store-checkout]


Cashier: hello ladies

Monica: (not looking up) hi

Cashier: oh…my…gawd (familiar?)

Monica: (looks) Janice? (Surprised) w…what are you doing here

Janice: I've worked here for a long time, just normally the night shift…well look at you

Monica: oh yeah um…(changing the subject) Janice, Kate, Kate, Janice

Nic: (cough, cough) what am I invisible?

Monica: oh sorry and this is Nic

All: hello, hi, etc

Janice: so any news on when Chandler is getting back from Yemen?

Nic: (confused) Yemen?

Monica: (to Nic) shh! (To Janice) uh Janice, I don't know how to tell you this but…

Janice: oh my god he's dead isn't he, the plane crashed

Monica: oh god no. It's just that he never went to Yemen

Janice: what?

Monica: Chandler was never in Yemen, and I don't think he'd want to get back together with you

Janice: how are you so sure?

Monica: because Chandler and I are engaged and he is going to be the father to my children

Janice: (does her infamous laugh) I know my Bing-a-ling would never betray me like that, you're just pulling my leg (laughs) that'll be $32.79

Monica: thanks, bye

Nic: Yemen?


[Monica and Chandler's apartment]


{Everyone is there, the girls have just returned}


Nic: (entering) hey we got food people!

Monica: hey Chandler guess who we ran into today

Chandler: who?

Monica: (teasing) Janice

Phoebe: ooh did you tell her about you two

Kate: yeah Janice thought Mon was joking

Chandler: really?

Nic: now will someone explain this whole "Yemen" thing

Kate: actually I was kind of wondering about that myself

Ross: Chandler, you wanna take that one

Chandler: okay Janice is this total whack-job that thinks we should be together forever. The last time we dated…

Nic: last time?

Chandler: um yeah we dated a few times

Joey: try ten

Chandler: hey it was only five. Anyway the last time she wouldn't let me go so I said I was moving to Yemen for work

Kate: and she still thinks you're there

Nic: what was with that laugh? It sounded like a duck getting run over and over and over and…

Monica: (stopping her) okay we get it

Nic: sorry

Rachel: so what do you think she'll do when she finally realizes what's goin on

Chandler: oh I don't know find a way to get that voice on the radio twenty-four hours a day


[Later at Central Perk]


{Monica, Nic, and Phoebe}


Monica: don't you feel kind of bad for Janice

Phoebe: yeah I guess

Nic: isn't there some kind of law about that kind of noise pollution


(Angie and Megan walk in)


Angie: Nic?

Nic: (stands up) oh my god hey guys (hugs them) what are you doing here?

Megan: well you said you lived near by

Angie: and we wanted cookies, I'll be right back (goes to the counter)

Megan: Angie's mom will be here in a sec.

Nic: well anyway this is my future sister-in-law, Monica, and this is her friend, Phoebe. Mon, Pheebs, this is Megan and Angie (as she returns)

Angie: (to Phoebe) hey didn't you sing at the library a few years ago

Monica: I remember when you did that

Phoebe: yeah I did

Angie: Nic you know the coolest people

Megan: really what has he been in?

Angie: (to her mom who just walked in) hi mom what took you so long

Mrs. Williams: oh I know I couldn't find a place to park

Monica: I know what you mean, that's why I don't drive

Mrs. Williams: (rude) excuse me do I know you

Monica: no, I'm sorry. Hi I'm Monica Geller; this is my friend Phoebe Buffay and my sister-in-law Nic Bing

Angie: mom, Nic and I go to school together

Megan: anyway what has Joey been in

Phoebe: probably nothing you've seen except for maybe "Days of Our Lives"

Angie: wait, "Days of Our Lives" (Thinking)…Joey…Joey…Joey Tribbiani!!!! (Eureka) you know Joey Tribbiani!

Nic: yeah, what's the big deal, it's not like he's still on the show anymore

Angie: but he was and you know him. I watch that show everyday

Nic: but it's on during school

Angie: ah the wonders of VCR's


(Joey Kate and Chandler enter)


Angie: oh my god, oh my god he just entered!

Megan: breathe, Angie, breathe

Monica: hey honey, (Chandler kisses Monica) what are you doing here?

Joey: we took a break. Do you know how much stuff this guy has?

Chandler: hey I'm letting you keep the chairs

Joey: no you're letting Monica let me keep the chairs

Mrs. Williams: it was nice meeting you all, Angie, Megan we must get going

Nic: bye you guys call me

Angie/Megan: ok, bye, etc.


(They leave)


Nic: can I go back to the apartment?

Monica: sure, be careful

Nic: yeah, yeah

[TV studio (some other day)]


{Chandler, Joey and Renee}


Director: (Mr. Mahoney) All right let's get started

Chandler: okay what do you want me to do

Mr. Mahoney: we'll we're going to start with the first scene of you and Renee

Chandler: all righty

Renee: (who obviously likes him) hi I'm Renee

Chandler: I'm Chandler

Mr. Mahoney: well now that we all know each other, Chandler you go stand over there (points) and Renee is off-stage


{The stage is set up as a bar. Chandler is sitting by himself, it looks like he waiting for someone}


"Courteney:" (entering the bar) hey Davie

"David:" Courteney? What are you doing here so early?

"Courteney:" Michael dumped me (cry, cry)

"David:" aw come here (hugs her)

"Courteney:" (looks at his drink) is that alcohol?

"David:" (sarcastic) well we are in a bar

"Courteney:" now's not the time (grabs his drink and downs it)

"David:" (deadpan) would you like some of my drink?

"Courteney:" no thanks I'm good

Mr. Mahoney: and cut! That was great. all right everyone take five

Chandler: (spots Monica and goes to her) hi honey I'm glad you made it (to her stomach) hi Matthew, hi Jayme

Joey: (joins up with them) hi guys. Hey man looking good out there (thumbs up)

Chandler: thanks your scene is coming up you know

Joey: yeah I know

Renee: (walks up) hello Chandler (ignores everyone else)

Chandler: Renee I'd like you to meet my best friend Joey, he'll be playing Mark

Renee/Joey: hi

Chandler: and my beautiful fiancé Monica

Renee/Monica: hi (Renee shows some resentment)

Mr. Mahoney: okay scene two people


[Chandler and Monica's apartment]


{Monica and Nic are playing cards}


Chandler: (entering) honey I'm home…I've always wanted to say that

Monica: how was the rest of the day? Sorry I had to leave, I was feeling a little sick

Chandler: that's okay, it went fine

Nic: so are you going to be a big time star with an outrageous salary like $750,000 an episode by the way I think the cast of FRIENDS deserve their new salaries. They work so hard every week to keep us entertained…if the show WAS canceled how many of you would be sitting around thinking the studio should've just given them the money (I know I would)

Chandler: yeah in my dreams maybe

All: ha, ha, etc


[Joey and Kate's apartment]


{Joey and Kate are eating a romantic candle-lit dinner}


Kate: this is so great I'm glad we decided to move in together

Joey: me too (kiss, kiss) listen I'm done with dinner, let's say we move on to "desert"

Kate: ooh I could go for some Italian Ice right now


(They giggle and move into the bedroom)


[Rachel and Phoebe's apartment]


Rachel: well Pheebs I'm all unpacked. I'm going to Ross' (about to leave)

Phoebe: ok I have a date tonight too

Rachel: really with who? (At the door)

Phoebe: aw nobody just Gunther

Rachel: GUNTHER!? (turns around)

Phoebe: yeah no big deal

Rachel: (Takes off her purse and looks the total opposite of leaving anytime soon) No big deal? Phoebe this is Gunther we're talking about. I mean we've known the guy for years and, and…

Phoebe: I know that…I really was surprised that he asked me out because you know (gestures toward Rachel)

Rachel: know what?

Phoebe: that Gunther is in love with you

Rachel: wha…what?

Phoebe: oh please don't tell me you didn't know

Rachel: well I guess he did always act weird around me but I just figured he was always weird

Phoebe: Gunther being weird is a whole other story. I have to go get ready (goes to her room leaving Rachel totally bewildered


[Chandler and Monica's apartment]


{Nic, Monica, and Chandler are watching the movie 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer'}


Rachel: (barging in) did you know Phoebe is dating Gunther!

Monica: ha! What!

Rachel: yeah! I know he asked her out today

Chandler: are you serious?

Nic: shh! Luke Perry speaks


(the adults move into he kitchen)


Rachel: anyway she said he asked her out because he had no chance with me? I mean can you believe that?

Monica: actually I can. Gunther had a major thing for you

Rachel: are you serious? I guess I never noticed…huh…well I've gotta go I'm meeting Ross for a movie

Chandler: see ya

Monica: bye

Rachel: bye guys (louder) bye Nic

Nic: (raises her arm) grunts something incomprehensible

Rachel: alright (walks out)


[A nice restaurant but not too expensive]


{Ross and Rachel enter}


Rachel: …so Kim thought that I had a really great idea!

Ross: that's great honey

Rachel: (scopes the room - under her breath after she spots Gunther and Phoebe) you've gotta be kidding me

Ross: what

Rachel: huh? Oh nothing…hey look it's Phoebe!

Ross: who is she with

Rachel: oh I forgot to tell you. Gunther asked her out. Let's go say hi

Ross: I don't think Gunther likes me much but okay (they head over to them)

Rachel: Phoebe, Gunther, hey

Phoebe: well hey you guys what are you doing here?

Rachel: we just saw 'The Perfect Storm' across the street and decided to come in here for dinner

Gunther: (to Rachel only) well why don't you join us

Ross: oh we couldn't ruin your date like that

Gunther: (to Rachel) no, no it's okay I insist (pulls out a chair for her)

Phoebe: come on, it's fine, really

Rachel: okay (doesn't sit in the chair Gunther pulls out, she sits kiddy corner from him…next to Phoebe)

Ross: so what's good here? (Sits across form Rachel, next to Gunther)


[Chandler and Monica's apartment]


{Nic is on the phone, Monica and Chandler walk in}


Chandler: hey Nic, how was Angie's house?

Nic: fine

Monica: oh your parents called. They'll be home on Thursday morning

Nic: okay (back to the phone) so then Pacey got all mad at Dawson for no reason!

Chandler: well I think she's adjusting to New York just fine

Monica: yeah…ooh ouch

Chandler: what! What's wrong!?

Monica: (laughs) nothing. The babies are kicking that's all…here feel (takes his hand and puts it on her stomach)

Chandler: whoa!

Monica: you're so cute (kiss, kiss)

Chandler: yes I know

Monica: (playfully pushes him) Chandler



The End
