TOW It's All Relative

(This one is the sequel to TO After the Wedding. Chandler and Monica are married. Joey and Phoebe are living together in what
was a platonic relationship. Ross and Rachel are living together. -- Many thanks to Tori for her patience and for reading my
submissions.)

(Scene. Chandler and Monica's apartment. Chandler frantically runs into the room, runs over to the
window, opens it, and sticks his head out. Monica is making coffee by the stove.)

CHANDLER: (Muttering over and over) Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Need air.

MONICA: (Putting a hand on his shoulder) What's going on?

CHANDLER: (Jumps up, startled, and hits his head on the window frame.) Ahh!

MONICA: What's going on?

CHANDLER: Joey ... Phoebe ... bubbles ... naked

MONICA: Naked bubbles? What?

CHANDLER: I just saw Joey and Phoebe making out in their hot tub.

MONICA: Oh, my God!

(Joey and Phoebe coming rushing into the room with their bathrobes on.)

JOEY: Hey, uh, listen, man. It's not what you think.

CHANDLER: Oh, I can't think. I'm having an aneurysm.

(Opening credits and theme song)

(Scene: Chandler and Monica's. CMPJ are there.)

MONICA: What were you guys thinking?!

JOEY: Oh, what? You and Rachel can hook up and Ross and Chandler can hook up, but Phoebe and I can't?
(They stare at him) ... Wrong dream. ... Why can't Phoebe and I be together?

PHOEBE: Because it would just be too weird.

JOEY: Why? Why?

PHOEBE: Cause you're my friend, and you're, like, allergic to monogamy. Oh, we'd date for a few months
... (mutters to Monica) and have really great sex by the way ... and it would be wonderful until one day, uh,
you wind up in bed with some copy-place girl and say, "Whoa. But we were on a break."

MONICA: (Who is uncomfortable listening to the conversation) I'm gonna go take a shower.

CHANDLER: Me, too.

(They hurry into the bathroom.)

JOEY: Come on, Phoebe. Give me a chance. I can be a stand-up guy. And look.

Ross and Rachel are back together. And look at Chandler and Monica.

PHOEBE: The odds are against three out of three. I'm sorry, Joey. But I value our friendship too much.

(She leaves. ... Chandler opens the bathroom door.)

CHANDLER: I'm sorry, man. (Pause) Hey, got any more of that bubble bath stuff?

(Scene: Chandler and Monica's. C and M are sitting there having breakfast. Rachel enters.)

RACHEL: Hey, it's the Bings.

CHANDLER/MONICA: Hey, Rach/Hi.

RACHEL: I was just over at Joey and Phoebe's and I saw the weirdest thing.

(Chandler and Monica look at each other, knowingly.)

RACHEL: Joey was sitting in sweat pants, strumming Phoebe's guitar, and crying. I asked him what was
wrong, and he muttered something about Ross ruining his life.

CHANDLER: I'll go talk to him. (He exits.)

RACHEL: What time does your flight leave?

MONICA: Not for a couple of hours. ... Are you all unpacked?

RACHEL: No, I didn't get much done. Although I did rearrange the place a little bit. (Smiles to herself.)

(Scene: Ross and Rachel's apartment. Ross comes out of the bathroom and sits down on this couch. He picks
up a magazine, then does a double take.)

ROSS: Where's my giant dragonfly?!!

(Joey and Phoebe's. Chandler enters.)

JOEY: Hey, listen. If you're gonna be all sorry for me and tell me to leave Phoebe alone ...

CHANDLER: Oh, no. I think you should go for it.

JOEY: What?

CHANDLER: I wasted so much time, you know, lusting from afar. And Ross and Rachel, I don't have to get
into that whole on-and-off fiasco, do I? ... You go after her. You kiss her sweetly on the lips. Then you kiss
her again. (Gets faraway looks in his eyes.) Then you get interrupted, but she comes to your hotel room and
kisses you, really hard. And then ...

JOEY: Uh, hello!

CHANDLER: Sorry. Don't let her go, man. I've gotta go. ... Jamaica, Baby!!!

(Does his little dance out the door into the hallway. Monica is at the door, talking to a person whom we can
only see from the back. She has a shocked look on her face. Upon seeing this, Chandler stops dancing. The
visitor slowly turns around.)

CHANDLER: (Pointing his finger at the person) No. No. No. Make that the second thing I didn't want to
see today. What is this, Freak Out Chandler Day?

(Tag: Phoebe and Joey's apartment. Phoebe and Rachel are there in the hot tub. Ross comes in, and he's
pissed.)

ROSS: Hey, Rach. Have you seen my giant dragonfly?

RACHEL: (Nervous) Uh, what?

ROSS: My dragonfly. You know, from the Anisoptera suborder. Big wings. Stick-like body!

RACHEL: Maybe it flew away.

ROSS: You put it down in the basement, down in storage, didn't you? Well, I'm hanging it back up. (He
storms off.)

RACHEL: Phoebe. What did you do with the big bug?

(Phoebe points to the bottom of the tub. Rachel jumps out.)

PHOEBE: Felt like you were in a swamp for a minute there, didn't ya? Here. I even have a plastic alligator
you can play with. (Makes chomping sounds.)
