[Scene: Monica’s Apartment, Rachel is making coffee for Joey and Chandler.]
Rachel: Isn’t this amazing? I mean, I have never made coffee before in my entire life.
Chandler: That is amazing.
Joey: Congratulations.
Rachel: Y’know, I figure if I can make coffee, there isn’t anything I can’t do.
Chandler: If can invade Poland, there isn’t anything I can’t do.
Joey: Listen, while you’re on a roll, if you feel like you gotta make like a Western omelet or something… (Joey and Chandler taste the coffee, grimace, and pour it into a plant pot.) Although actually I’m really not that hungry…
Monica: (entering, to herself) Oh good, Lenny and Squigy are here.
All: Morning. Good morning.
Paul: (entering from Monica’s room) Morning.
Joey: Morning, Paul.
Rachel: Hello, Paul.
Chandler: Hi, Paul, is it?
(Monica and Paul walk to the door and talk in a low voice so the others can’t hear. The others move Monica’s table closer to the door so that they can.)
Paul: Thank you! Thank you so much!
Monica: Stop!
Paul: No, I’m telling you last night was like umm, all my birthdays, both graduations, plus the barn raising scene in Witness.
Monica: We’ll talk later.
Paul: Yeah. (They kiss) Thank you. (Exits)
Joey: That wasn’t a real date?! What the hell do you do on a real date?
Monica: Shut up, and put my table back.
All: Okayyy! (They do so.)
Chandler: All right, kids, I gotta get to work. If I don’t input those numbers,… it doesn’t make much of a difference…
Rachel: So, like, you guys all have jobs?
Monica: Yeah, we all have jobs. See, that’s how we buy stuff.
Joey: Yeah, I’m an actor.
Rachel: Wow! Would I have seen you in anything?
Joey: I doubt it. Mostly regional work.
Monica: Oh wait, wait, unless you happened to catch the Reruns’ production of Pinocchio, at the little theater in the park.
Joey: Look, it was a job all right?
Chandler: ‘Look, Gippetto, I’m a real live boy.’
Joey: I will not take this abuse. (Walks to the door and opens it to leave.)
Chandler: You’re right, I’m sorry. (Burst into song and dances out of the door.) “Once I was a wooden boy, a little wooden boy…“
Joey: You should both know, that he’s a dead man. Oh, Chandler? (Starts after Chandler.)
Monica: So how you doing today? Did you sleep okay? Talk to Barry? I can’t stop smiling.
Rachel: I can see that. You look like you slept with a hanger in your mouth.
Monica: I know, he’s just so, so… Do you remember you and Tony DeMarco?
Rachel: Oh, yeah.
Monica: Well, it’s like that. With feelings.
Rachel: Oh wow. Are you in trouble.
Monica: Big time!
Rachel: Want a wedding dress? Hardly used.
Monica: I think we are getting a little ahead of selves here. Okay. Okay. I am just going to get up, go to work and not think about him all day. Or else I’m just gonna get up and go to work.
Rachel: Oh, look, wish me luck!
Monica: What for?
Rachel: I’m gonna go get one of those (Thinks) job things.
(Monica exits.)
