So, is everyone else working on Christmas Eve, too?

No, I sent everyone home.

You are such a good boss.

Yeah, I know. It's just me and Wendy.

Who's Wendy? That sounds like a girl's name.

Well, yeah...

Joey

Oh, Wendy was the one who was runner up for Ms. Oklahoma.

You're alone in the same room as the second prettiest girl in Oklahoma?

Well... The second prettiest that year. If you count it now, she's probably the...

Oh, Chandler, stop talking.

[On the phone with Rachel, panicking because Emma's missing] Hey, Rach, by any chance, did you come by here and pick Emma up?

No, why?

Oh, my...! Then that means...[Just then, Joey comes in the door holding Emma] Oh, Emma! Thank God! There you are!

[Worried] Wha-what do you mean "There you are"?! Where was she?!

[Forgetting Rachel was still on the phone] Oh, uh, we were just playing peek-a-boo. She loves it when I'm dramatic. [Quickly hangs up]

[To Joey] Why the hell did you take her?!

Joey

Because you two were having [Whispers last word so Emma doesn't hear] sex!

No, we weren't.

Joey

Don't you lie to me. I can tell by Chandler's hair. [To Chandler] You are so lazy. Can't you get on top for once?

[Embarrassed, tries to fix his messy hair] All right, we were! We were trying to make a baby. Monica's ovulating.

Joey

Which is more than I can say for myself as of 2:00 today. [He and Chandler laugh, and Joey indicates that he peed on Monica's ovulation sticks]

You guys! Seriously, those sticks are expensive!

Joey

Hey, it is unacceptable that you'd have sex with Emma in the next room. I'm gonna have to tell Rachel about this.

MCMonica and Chandler

No, no! Please don't. She'll kill us.

Joey

Hey, I gotta. Unless...

Unless what?

Joey

Unless you name your first-born child Joey.

What? Why?

Joey

Hey, I may never have kids. And someone has to carry on my family name.

Your family name is Tribbiani.

Joey

[Thinks this over for a few seconds] Oh-ho, you almost had me. [He leaves, and Chandler covers his face with his hands at the sheer ignorance of Joey]

[Rachel tries to install baby-proofing things in the apartment.]

Are you saying that women can't do it?

Joey

Women can do it; you can't.

Monica, will you please tell Joey that he's a pig?

[to Joey] You're a pig. [to Rachel] And you can't do this.

Well, I found the hardware store by myself!

Joey

The hardware store's just down the street.

There's a hardware store down the street?

[Monica and Chandler each borrow money from Joey, forcing him to lie to them both until they find out.]

Joey! Why did you tell Chandler that Monica was getting a boob job?

Joey

Because she is!

Joey, Chandler knows I borrowed the money.

Joey

Mm-hmm! For your boob job!

MRMonica, Rachel, Chandler

It's over, Joe!

Joey

Okay. So I'm out four thousand dollars and nobody's boobs are getting any bigger?

[The friends are about to arrange the lottery tickets, in a bowl at the breakfast table]

We need to sort through the tickets as quickly as possible to see if we won. Does anybody have any ideas how to organize this? [abruptly] How about this - we divide them into six groups of forty, and the remaining ten can be read by whoever finishes their pile first.

[raising her hand] I have another idea!

Sorry, idea time is over!

Are all of the tickets in the bowl?

Yeah.

What about the ones on the nightstand?

There are no tickets on the nightstand!

Yes there are, I saw them a few minutes ago!

[Rachel goes to the nightstand to investigate]

[uncomfortably] No you didn't! You must be mistaken!

There were twenty tickets on the nightstand!

Chandler, sense the tone!

[Rachel returns with a bunch of tickets in her hand]

Well, well, well, look what Mommy found! [everyone gasps]

Fine! I bought twenty extra tickets for me and Chandler!

[gasps] The psychic also said that I would be betrayed!

I can't believe this! I thought we were all in this together!

You just got in five minutes ago!

Three! I don't know why that's important!

Joey

I was with you the whole time we were in Connecticut! When did you get those?

When you were reading the dirty magazines without taking off the plastic!

Joey

[sniggers and turns to Ross] I'll show you how!

Suppose one of your special tickets wins? How are you going to feel when you win the lottery and lose all your friends?

If I win the lottery you guys are not going to leave me! Someone gave me a basket of mini muffins last week and I couldn't get rid of you for three days!

Chandler, would you tell her that what she did was wrong?!

[turns to Monica] She's right, you shouldn't have bought tickets just for us. [Monica gasps] Let me finish. [turns to Rachel] However, it doesn't look as though I'm going to get this job, so I can't afford to have principles. So screw you, the tickets are ours!! [snatches the tickets from an open-mouthed Rachel]

[jubilantly] There's the man I married! [high-fives Chandler]

Believe me, if you win the lottery, it's the last you're going to hear from any of us!

Fine! Don't be my friends! I'll buy new friends! And then I'll pay for their plastic surgeries so they look just like you!

That's it! I want my share of the tickets!

Joey

[snatches the bowl from Rachel] I want my tickets too! And I'm buying the Knicks! And Steffi Graf!

[snatches the bowl from Joey] I want mine too! And if I win I'm going to put it all into a very low-yield bond!

[tries to put all the tickets into the bowl] You guys! We've got to keep all the tickets together!

No! [snatches the bowl] We should divide them up, and I should get extra because we used my car to buy them!!

Joey

If anybody gets extra tickets it should be me; this whole thing was my idea!! [snatches the bowl]

Oh yeah! Thanks for inventing the lottery!!

Joey, why won't you invite us to your parties?

Joey

Well you're fine, ok, but everyone else acts like an idiot around famous people.

Well then, so just invite me.

Joey

Please, I was trying to be nice. You're the worst one.

[At Ross´s Conference]

But all kidding aside, in much the same way that Homo ergaster is now thought to be a separate species from Homo erectus...

[Joey laughs]

What?

Joey

He said "erectus"!

You're... you're kidding, right?

Joey

No, he really said it.

... and while there are certainly vast differences between these Mesozoic fossiles and the example of Homo erectus...

[Rachel laughs]

Joey

Erectus?

Homo.

[Joey and Chandler are discussing Joey's impending date with Rachel.]

Wow, so tonight might be the night. You nervous?

Joey

Nah. This is the part I'm actually good at.

What must it be like not to be crippled by fear and self-loathing?

Joey

It's okay!

Is Emma awake yet?

It's still nap time. She'll be up soon.

Where's Joey?

I said, it's still nap time.

[Joey awakes from his nap.]

There's Uncle Joey! Say something to Emma for her 18th birthday!

Joey

[starts to turn on his charm for the camera] 18, huh?

[switches off the camera] NO!

Joey

It's for her hot friends!

When they see this you'll be 52!

Joey

And starting to think about settling down!

Ross, don't forget to take a shot of Emma's cake. It's in a box in the fridge.

Sure.

[to Monica] You're going to love this cake! I got from from a bakery in New Jersey, Carino's!

That place has the creamiest frosting! I used to hitchhike there when I was a kid!

Well, they make make these great novelty cakes in different shapes; and if you give them a photo, they'll copy it in icing!

Did you do a picture of Emma?

On a cake shaped like a bunny!

Does this bakery by any chance bake erotic cakes, for bachelorette parties?

What are you talking? -OH, MY...! They put my baby's face on a penis!

[Everyone rushes to see the cake.]

Now it's a party!

This is not funny! If I wanted this cake to be a disaster, I would have baked it myself!

Joey

Is it okay that I still think it looks delicious?

Jack, look at this!

I know what you're thinking! The resemblance is uncanny!

[Everyone turns to look at Ross]

[angry] I am THIS close to tugging on my testicles again!!

[on the phone] No, this is NOT what I ordered! I drove to New Jersey to get my daughter a cake for her birthday and I need a bunny cake right now!

Ask them if it would be faster to cut the baby's face off the penis and put it on the bunny. [to himself] That is a weird sentence.

[on the phone with the bakery] Oh, believe you me, I am going to bring this cake back. I don't even want it in my home... JOEY, DON'T TOUCH IT!

Joey

I'm so confused!

I still want my daughter's face on a cake, but a bunny cake! Yellow cake, chocolate frosting with nuts!

To be fair, this one does have nuts.

Joey

Finished my recommendation, and I think you'll be very, very happy. It's the longest I've ever spent on a computer without looking at porn.

I don't... understand

Joey

Some of the words a little too sophisticated for you?

It doesn't make any sense.

Joey

Of course it does. It's smart. I used a thesaurus.

On every word?

Joey

Yep!

What was this sentence originally?

Joey

Oh, "They're warm, nice people with big hearts."

And that became, "They're humid, prepossessing Homo sapiens with full-sized aortic pumps."

Joey

And hey, I really mean it, dude.

Uh, Joey, I don't think we can use this.

Joey

Why not?

Well, because you signed it "Baby Kangaroo" Tribbiani.

We don't feel we can host Thanksgiving this year.

Joey

What?

Are you kidding?

Well, just with work and the stress of adoption we just don't feel like we have the energy. Plus, we don't think it's fair that every year the burden falls on us.

That doesn't sound like you. That's Monica talking!

No, no, we made this decision together.

She's putting words in your mouth!

Joey

Don't you put words in people's mouths. You put turkey in people's mouths.
