Monica: I cant leave it! You gouged a hole in my
dingy floor.

Phoebe: She wasnt a hooker.
Frank: Well, when I tell my friends about her she will be.
[Scene: Chandler and Joeys, everyone is there, helping to
lift the entertainment center into place]
Chandler: Okay, on three. One....Two....
Joey: Why dont we just go on two.
Chandler: Why two?
Joey: Because its faster.
Chandler: Yeah, I coulda counted to three like four times
without all this two talk.
Rachel: Oh!
Joey: All right, but in the future...
Ross: Okay!! Okay!!
Rachel: Come on!
Ross: Heavy thing, not getting lighter!
Chandler: Okay, one...two...
Joey: So we are going on two?
All: All right!! (they lift it into place, however there
is one small problem, the unit is so long that it blocks some of
both of their bedroom doors.)
Chandler: Oh, good job Joe.
Joey: Wow, its big!
Chandler: Yeah-yeah, so big that it actually makes our
doors look smaller!
Joey: Maybe, my rulers wrong.
Phoebe: Maybe all the rulers are wrong.
Joey: Look its not that bad. So what, it blocks a
little of your door, a little of my door.
Chandler: Yeah, y'know what I got a better idea. How-how
bout it blocks none of mine door and a lot of yours? (throws
his shoulder into the center to try and move it, but it doesnt
move.)
Joey: Yeah, listen, before I forget that side is still wet.
[Scene: Central Perk, Rachel is serving some guy coffee.]
Rachel: Okay sir, um-mm, let see if I got this right. Ah,
so this is a half-caf, double tall, easy hazel nut, non-fat, no
foam, with whip, extra hot latte, right? (the guy nods) Okay,
great. (she starts to walk away and under her breath) You freak.
(Isabella Rosselini enters)
Ross: (to Gunther) Thank you.
Isabella: (to Gunther) Um, coffee to go, please.
(Ross recognises her and goes over to the couch, mouthing Oh
my God
Ross: Isabella Rosselini. (points to her)
Monica: Are you serious? (they all look) Oh my God.
Ross: Damn! I cant believe I took her off my list.
Monica: Why? Cause otherwise youd go for it?
Ross: Yeah, maybe.
Rachel: Oh-oh, you lie.
Ross: What you dont think Id go up to her?
Rachel: Ross, it took you ten years to finally admit you
liked me.
Ross: Yeah, well missy, you better be glad that list is
laminated.
Rachel: You know what honey, you go ahead, well call
her an alternate.
Ross: Okay, hold my crawler.
Rachel: Okay.
Monica: Rach, are you really gonna let him do this?
Rachel: Honey, hes about to go hit on Isabella
Rosselini. Im just sorry we dont got popcorn.
Ross: (to Isabella) Hi! Hi, Im Ross, you dont
know me, but Im a big, big fan of yours. I mean, Blue
Velvet, woo-oo hoo! Um, I was wondering if I could um, maybe
buy you a cup of coffee? (Gunther hands her change) Or maybe
reimburse you for that one?
Isabella: Arent you with that girl over there? (points
at Rachel, who waves back)
Ross: Well, yeah, kinda. Um, but thats okay, see we
have an understanding, um, see we each have this list of five
famous people, (gets his out) so Im allowed to sleep with
you. No, no, no, its flattery.
Isabella: Im sorry. (starts to leave)
Ross: Oh no, no, no, wait, wait, Isabella. Dont, dont
just dismiss this so fast. I mean this is a once in a lifetime
opportunity...
Isabella: Yeah, for you. Is that the list?
Ross: Um, yeah.
Isabella: May I see it?
Ross: Um, no.
Isabella: Come on! (grabs the list)
Ross: But, okay.
Isabella: (reading it) Im not on the list!
Ross: Um, see, but thats not the final draft.
Isabella: Its laminated!
Ross: Yeah, um, okay see, you were, you were on the list
but my friend, Chandler (Chandler waves) brought up the very good
point that you are international, so I bumped you for Wynona
Rider, local.
Isabella: Y'know its ironic...
Ross: What?
Isabella: ...because I have a list of five goofy coffee
house guys and yesterday I bumped you for that guy over there. (points
at a guy and leaves)
Ross: (to the rest of the gang) Were just gonna be
friends.
