"Guys!" "Guys!" "I've got great news." "Guess what." "Monica's pregnant!" "really?" "Let's get past the moment." "What's your news?" "Thank you." "I got a job in advertising." "Honey, that's incredible!" "Gosh, what's the pay like?" "Oh, come on, people." "If I don't know who makes the most how do I know who I Iike the most?" "Hi, Joey." "It pays nothing." "It's an internship." "We have interns at Days of Our Lives." "Right." "So it'II be the same, except less sex with you." "What do you think they'II have you do there?" "It's a training program, but they hire the people they like." "That's great!" "There's gonna be some grunt work which will stink." "A grown man getting people coffee is humiliating." "humiliating and noble." "Thank you." "You know, if I didn't already have a job I would've been good in advertising." "Ross, you did not come up with:" ""Got milk?"" "Yes, I did!" "I did!" "I should've written it down." "Where's chandler?" "I want to wish him good luck on his first day." "And I smelled bacon." "He just left." "Who did?" "Joey, you're never gonna believe it!" "She called!" "She did?" "You got it!" "I did?" "What is she talking about?" "I don't know, but it sounds great!" "Your agent called." "You got that audition!" "With Leonard Hayes?" "Yes!" "Oh, my God, that is great!" "It's for a play on Broadway." "And in a real theater." "Not that little one underneath the deli like last time." "Is it a good play?" "It must be." "I read it and didn't understand a single word!" "Leonard Hayes is starring in it." "Yeah, and directing." "He was so good in that movie of Macbeth." "You saw that?" "No, but I saw the previews." "They played it right before Jackass." "He's done some amazing work." "Oh, yeah." "I Ioved him in those phone commercials." "When the monkey hits him in the face with the giant rubber phone...." "Maybe the monkey will be at the audition." "Don't make me more nervous than I already am!" "Good morning." "Can I get you a cup of coffee, sir?" "Oh, no, no." "I'm an intern, just like you guys." "Except for the tie, the briefcase and the fact that I can rent a car." "seriously, you're an intern?" "I'm heading in a new career direction and you gotta start at the bottom." "Dude." "I know I'm a little older than you guys, but it's not Iike I'm Bob Hope." "The comedian." "USO." "It's U.S.A., sir." "This is Joey Tribbiani." "Joey, these are the producers." "And as you probably already know, this is Leonard Hayes." "It is so amazing to meet you." "I am such a big fan of your work." "I've been blessed with a Iot of great roles." "tell me about it, huh?" ""unlimited nights and weekends!"" "Are you making fun of me?" "Because I am not a sellout." "I didn't do it for money." "I believe in those phones!" "I almost lost a cousin because of bad wireless service." "No, I wasn't making fun of you." "I think you were great in those commercials." "really?" "Yeah." "well, I do bring a certain credibility to the role." "Are you kidding?" "When they shoot you out of that cannon" ""Hang up that phone!"" "One take." "Wow." "So shall we read?" "Oh, yeah, sure." "Top of Act 2." "This is my entrance." "You got it?" "What the hell are you still doing here?" "I think you know." "Bastard!" "I am what you made me." "You know what?" "I couId go right now." "Go!" "Go!" "I can't." "Oh, I want to, Long Pause but I can't." "So sorry." "You're not supposed to say "long pause."" "Oh!" "Oh, I thought that was your character's name." "You know?" "I thought you were, Iike, an Indian or something, you know, with the...." "No." "Thank you so much for coming in." "We appreciate it." "Thank you." "You don't want me to do it again?" "I couId do an accent." "No." "You know, Southern." ""I couId go right now, mon!" Huh?" "My God in heaven." "Joey, hang on." "Leonard, can we talk to you for a moment?" "Yes?" "You've got to be kidding." "He can't act." "I don't care if you think he's hot." "If you want to sleep with him, do it on your own time." "This is a play." "If you insist on this I will call my agent so fast on a cell phone connection so clear, he's gonna think I'm next door!" "Hi, thank you so much for whispering for my benefit." "tell me what I did wrong." "I'd love to work on it and try it again for you." "And also, how you doing?" "Give me another chance." "I really want to get better." "please?" "If you want to come back today..." "...here are my notes." "Ready?" "Yeah." "You're in your head." "Thinking too much." "I really doubt that." "No, no." "It's that you're not connected with anything in your body." "There's no urgency." "The scene is a struggle." "It's a race." "also, what you did was horizontal." "Don't be afraid to explore the vertical." "And don't learn the words." "Let the words learn you." "CouIdn't I just sleep with the producer?" "Hey, do you want to go to dinner tonight?" "I can't." "I've got a date with that waitress, Katie." "I know we've only gone out, Iike, twice, but I don't know..." "..." "I have a good feeling about her." "Oh, I hear divorce bells." "Give me your wallets, and there won't be a problem." "What?" "I have a gun." "Okay, relax, Phoebe." "Just stay calm." "Oh, my God, I can't find my wallet!" "AII right, lady, now give me your purse." "No." "What do you mean "no"?" "I knew you'd be my death, Phoebe Buffay!" "LoweII, is that you?" "Phoebe?" "Oh, my God!" "unbelievable!" "Oh, my God!" "I'm sorry." "Ross, this is my old friend, LoweII, from the streets!" "LoweII, Ross." "Ross, nice to meet you." "Yeah, a real pleasure." "It's been so long!" "Oh, so long." "I can't believe you're still doing this." "I know." "But I quit smoking." "Good for you." "You look like you're doing well." "I guess your mugging days are behind you." "Oh, my God." "Phoebe, you used to mug people?" "Excuse me, Ross, old friends catching up." "How'd the audition go?" "They want to see me again, but Leonard Hayes did not Iike me." "What happened?" "He said I wasn't urgent enough." "Everything I did was horizontal, and I should be more vertical." "He said that I should think less." "well, so far so good." "Honey, I'm old!" "I didn't know you were coming home for lunch." "Can I get you anything?" "Sure, a tube of PoIident?" "Some Depends?" "Birthday wishes from WiIIard Scott." "What's wrong?" "I am so much older than these other interns." "I can't compete with them." "So you're a little older." "Look at the positive." "You have all this life experience." "Yes, but I don't think life experience is gonna help me with these." "Wow!" "It's like they're on fire!" "What are they?" "Prototype sneakers." "I need ideas on how to sell them." "Which I can't do because no seIf-respecting adult would ever wear these." "I'II give you $500 for them." "What am I supposed to do?" "Come on, sneakers are easy." "You wear them all the time." "They're not called sneakers anymore." "They're called "kicks" or "skids." I think I heard somebody say "sIorps."" "They've got wheels that pop out from the bottom so you can roll around because apparently walking is too much exercise." ""Kids!" "Kids!" "roll your way to childhood obesity!"" "Kids today have such an easier time getting fat." "would you help me try to sell these?" "Okay." "Have you considered using a girl with huge knockers?" "That's not what they're looking for." "Hey, that would work on me." "Why do you think I buy Mrs. Butterworth's?" "You'II never guess what just happened." "Phoebe and I got mugged!" "Are you okay?" "Yeah." "Phoebe knew the mugger." "How do you know a mugger?" "I'm sorry, I have friends outside the six of us." "Know how she knew him?" "Because Phoebe used to mug people." "seriously?" "well, I'm not proud of it, but, you know when I was living on the street and I needed money for food and stuff...." "That is awful." "I wasn't rich like you guys, okay?" "I didn't eat gold and have a flying pony." "I had a hard life." "My mother was killed by a drug dealer." "Your mother killed herself." "She was a drug dealer." "It was a good thing she knew him." "I was about to do some serious damage." "Okay." "This must have brought back some bad memories for you, Ross." "Why?" "Ross was mugged as a kid." "You were?" "Yeah." "And it was pretty traumatic." "It was outside St. Mark's Comics." "I was minding my business, seeing what kind of trouble Spider-Man was into." "Wonder Woman." "Anyway, I was heading towards this bakery to pick up a couple of dozen Iinzer tortes for someone when out of nowhere, this thug with a pipe jumps out and says:" ""Give me your money, punk!"" "Oh, my God." "I know." "And the worst part was, they took my backpack which had all the original artwork I did for my own comic book, Science Boy." "Oh, yeah!" "What was his super power again?" "A super-human thirst for knowledge." "I better get to class." "Are there any more of your friends I should look out for?" "No." "actually, you might want to stay away from Jane Street." "That's where Stabby Joe works." "I think we have a problem here." "What?" "Back in my mugging days, I worked St. Mark's Comics." "Yeah?" "A pipe was my weapon of choice and preteen, comic-book nerds were my meat." "So?" "There was one kid who had a sticker on his backpack that said:" ""geology rocks!" -"geology rocks!"" "Oh, my God!" "I know!" "I mugged Ross!" "You're late." "I know." "I'm sorry." "But can I just run to the bathroom?" "No." "Leonard doesn't wait." "But I am bursting with Yoo-hoo!" "Joey, here we go!" "Let's go." "Very quickly." "I really need" "We must go now, quickly." "Yeah." "Yes, sir." "Ready?" "What the hell are you still doing here?" "I think you know!" "Oh, you sick bastard!" "I am what you made me!" "Know what?" "What?" "I couId go right now." "Then go." "Go!" "Oh, I can't." "I want to, but I can't!" "Cut." "That was good!" "Very good." "You did everything I asked." "I did?" "Yes." "plus which, you've got this, I don't know, this squirmy quality you bring to the character I couldn't have imagined." "Here's what we're gonna do:" "Come back tomorrow for the final callbacks." "Do all of this, what you got going now." "But you know what?" "More." "More." "Can you do that?" "Sure." "I don't have time to say thank you because I really gotta go!" "Look at that!" "still in character." "I Iike him." "I plant seeds." "I can't explain it." "I don't know." "Hey." "What are you doing?" "Putting on the sneakers to get in the young mindset, see if it sparks anything." "Oh, anything yet?" "Yes, how's this?" ""They're so uncomfortable, it's like getting kicked in the nuts for your feet."" "You're probably wondering what I'm doing." "No, that seems about right." "Yesterday at my audition, I had to pee." "apparently, that makes me a good actor." "I got a callback, so I'm drinking everything." "Oh, by the way that eggnog in our fridge was great!" "Joey, that was formula." "We gotta get more of that." "These aren't half bad." "You should suggest these to ralph Lauren." "Okay, first of all, that's stupid." "Second, I'm not allowed to talk to ralph." "AII right." "I feel younger already." "Yeah, I think I broke my hip." "Hey, you!" "Hey." "Hey." "How was class?" "No one asks me that." "What's wrong?" "Nothing." "I really want to know." "Oh." "well, there was actually a rather lively discussion about the PIeistocene" "AII right, nothing is worth this." "I have a confession to make." "Okay, you know that girl that mugged you when you were a kid?" "What are you talking about?" "It wasn't a girl." "It was this huge dude." "He had a pitchfork and a sword." "You don't have to lie anymore." "I know that it was a 1 4-year-oId girl." "No, it wasn't." "Yes, it was." "You don't think I would have defended myself against a 1 4-year-oId--?" ""Give me your money, punk!"" "Oh, my God, it was you!" "I can't believe it." "You mugged me?" "Yeah." "And I'm so, so sorry, Ross." "I'm sorry." "But, you know, if you think about it, it's kind of neat." "I mean, well, it's just that I've always felt kind of like an outsider." "You know, the rest of you have connections that go way back and, you know, now you and I have a great one." "It's not the best!" "I know." "please forgive me." "I don't know what to say." "There's nothing you can say!" "That was the most humiliating thing ever." "Even more humiliating than" "Let's not do this!" "And then, at the end of the commercial, the girls get out of the hot tub and start making out with each other." "That's interesting." "Just one thought:" "You didn't mention the shoes." "Who's next?" "chandler." "You start with a guy putting on the shoes." "He's about my age." "Your age?" "He's rolling down the street and he starts to lose control." "Maybe he faIIs." "Maybe he hurts himself." "Just then, a kid comes flying by wearing the shoes." "He jumps over the old guy and laughs." "And the line reads:" ""Not suitable for adults."" "well, chandler, that's great." "Thank you, sir." "Or, man who's two years younger than me." "You see, that has a clear selling point." "It appeals to our key demographic." "How did you come up with that?" "I don't know!" "I don't know!" "I was just trying to get into a young mindset, and stuff started to flow." "That is great." "Good work." "Thank you." "We'II see all of you tomorrow." "The cold weather hurts my hip." "Hey, Ross." "I know you're still mad at me, but can I just talk to you for a sec?" "Sure, go ahead." "Oh, sorry." "Sure, go ahead." "I just really wanted to apologize again." "And also show you something I think you'II find very exciting." "Oh, my God! "Crap from the street!"" "Look, Ross." "In this box are all the things I got from mugging that I thought were too special to sell or smoke." "Anyway, I was looking through it, and I found Science Boy." "Oh, my God!" "I never thought I'd see this again." "It's all here!" "What made you save it all these years?" "I guess I just thought it was really good." "And maybe it wouId be worth something one day." "You really thought Science Boy was worth saving?" "Yeah." "But you should know I also have a jar of vaseline and a cat skull in here." "still, this is amazing!" "Oh, my God." "Thank you, Phoebe." "You're welcome." "Thank you for Science Boy." "I Iearned a Iot from him." "You're welcome." "Wait a minute." "Did you add something to him?" "Oh, yeah." "You see, the way you drew him there was no way he was ever gonna get Gravity girl." "He looked like a Ken doll in those tights." "What's that?" "What are you...?" ""Is that a beaker or are you happy to see me?"" "I don't get it." "I need an answer!" "I can't tell you something I don't know." "You know!" "I don't know!" "I need an answer now!" "You want an answer?" "The answer is...." "She never loved me." "She only loved you." "You knew this all along and you never told me?" "I can never forgive you, or myself." "I have nothing to live for." "Bang!" "And scene!" "absolutely amazing." "The part is yours." "Thanks!" "Now I really gotta go." "No, wait!" "congratulations!" "You did it." "You did it." "You can relax now." "Yeah." "Wow!" "That's a big cable bill." "You don't have a job, but you have no problem ordering porn." "On a Saturday afternoon?" "I was in the house!" "Hey." "Phoebe didn't by any chance mention that" "She was the huge guy that mugged you?" "Yeah." "I see." "You didn't happen to teII" "Everybody we know?" "Yeah." "Great." "Thanks." "ENGLISH"
