RossOkay, awkward question, the hospital knows you took two, right?
Ross[Enters, mortified] Hi.
This guy says hello, I wanna kill myself.
Are you okay, sweetie?
RossI just feel like someone reached down my throat, grabbed my small intestine, pulled it out of my mouth and tied it around my neck...
Cookie?
[Explaining to others] Carol moved her stuff out today. [To Ross] Let me get you some coffee.
RossOh no, no. Don't! Stop cleansing my aura.
But...
RossNo. Just leave my aura alone, okay?
Fine... be murky.
RossI'll be fine. Really, you guys, I hope she'll be very happy.
No, you don't.
RossNo, I don't! To hell with her! She left me!
And you never knew she was a lesbian?
RossNo! Okay? Why does everyone keep fixating on that? She didn't know. How should I know?
Sometimes I wish I was a lesbian. [everyone looks at him] Did I say that out loud?
RossSee, but I don't want to be single, okay? I just-- I just-- I just want to be married again.
[Rachel in a wedding dress enters the shop]
And I just want a million dollars!.
Rachel?!
Oh, Monica, hi! I just went to your building and you weren't there and then this guy with a big hammer said you might be here and you are, you are!
Can I get you some coffee?
[Pointing at Rachel] De-caff. [To the gang] Okay, everybody, this is Rachel, another Lincoln High survivor. [To Rachel] This is everybody, this is Chandler, and Phoebe, and Joey, and- you remember my brother Ross?
Hi, sure!
RossHi.
[They go to hug but Ross' umbrella opens. he sits, defeated again]
[A moment of silence where Rachel sits; the others expect her to explain]
So you wanna tell us now, or are we waiting for four wet bridesmaids?
Oh... well, it started about a half hour before the wedding. I was in the room where we were keeping all the presents, and I was looking at this gravy boat. This really gorgeous Lamauge gravy boat. When all of a sudden- [to waitress]Sweet 'n' Lo?- I realized that I was more turned on by this gravy boat than by Barry! And then I got really freaked out, and that's when it hit me: how much Barry looks like Mr. Potato Head. Y'know, I mean, I always knew he looked familiar, but... Anyway, I just had to get out of there, and I started wondering 'Why am I doing this, and who am I doing this for?'. [To Monica] So anyway I just didn't know where to go, and I know that you and I have kinda drifted apart, but you're the only person I knew who lived here in the city.
-who wasn't invited to the wedding.
Ooh, I was kinda hoping that wouldn't be an issue...
[Excited] Guess what?
RossYou got a job?
Are you kidding? I'm trained for nothing! I was laughed out of twelve interviews today.
And yet you're surprisingly upbeat.
Well, you would be too if you found Joan and David boots on sale, fifty percent off.
Oh, how well you know me.
[Rachel is supposed to be cutting up her credit card]
RossCut, cut, cut...
Cut, cut, cut, cut!
[cuts a card] You know what? I think we can leave it at that. It was kind of a symbolic gesture...
Rachel, that was a library card.
[Everybody cheers her on, and she reluctantly cuts up her credit card]
You know, if you listen closely, you can hear a thousand retailers scream.
[to Rachel] Welcome to the real world. It sucks. You're gonna love it.
I think, for us, kissing is pretty much like an opening act, y'know? I mean, it's like the stand-up comedian you have to sit through before Pink Floyd comes out.
RossYeah, and -- and it's not that we don't like the comedian, it's that -- that... that's not... why we bought the ticket.
You see, the problem is, though, after the concert's over, no matter how great the show was, you girls are always looking for the comedian again. Y'know? I mean, we're in the car, we're fighting traffic... basically, just trying to stay awake.
Yeah, well, word of advice: bring back the comedian. Otherwise next time you're gonna find yourself sitting at home, listening to that album alone.
Are we still talking about sex?
Ross[talking about the baby's name] Wait a minute, why is Susan's name in it?
It's my baby, too.
RossFunny, I don't remember you making any sperm!
[Phoebe finds something in her can of soda.]
RossA thumb?
Ewwww!
I know, I know. I opened it up, and there it was, just floating in there, like this tiny little hitch-hiker.
Maybe it's a contest, you know, like, "collect all five."
Hey Joey, what would you do if you were omnipotent?
Probably kill myself.
Excuse me?
Hey, if little Joey's dead, then I've got no reason to live.
RossJoey, omnipotent.
You are? I'm so sorry.
RossIt's amazing, okay? You just reach in there, there's just one little maneuver, and bam, a bra right out the sleeve. All right? As far as I'm concerned, there is nothing a guy can do that even comes close. Am I right?
Come on! You guys can pee standing up.
We can? All right, I'm trying that.
You know what blows my mind? Women can see breast whenever they want, you just look down and they are there! How you get any work done is beyond me.
You know what I don't get? The way guys can do so many mean things and, like, not even care.
[Long Pause]
Ross... Multiple Orgasms!
[Ross draws his laundry detergent]
What is that?
RossÜberweiss! It's new, it's German, it's Extra tough
[All sitting around coffee table talking about their "weirdest place"]
Come on, someone go.
OK, I'll go, Senior year of college on a pool table.
RossThat's my sister.
OK, my weirdest place would have to be... the women's room on the second floor of the New York City Public Library.
Oh my God. What were YOU doing in a library?
RossPhoebs, what about you?
Oh um... Milwaukee.
Um... Ross?
RossDisneyland, 1989, 'It's a Small World After All'. The ride broke down. So, Carol and I went behind a couple of those mechanical Dutch children... then they fixed the ride and we were asked never to return to the Magic Kingdom.
Ooh, Rachel.
Oh come on, I already went.
You did not go.
All right... the weirdest place, would have to be... oh... the foot of the bed.
RossStep back...
We have a winner!
RossWow, you guys sure have a lot of books about being a lesbian.
Yeah, you know, you have to take a course, otherwise they don't let you do it.
