"Oh, hey, you guys?" "I couldn't get a reservation for the night of my birthday so we'll have to do dinner Thursday night." "Thursday?" "But that's Halloween." "So?" "It's just spooky, that's all." "So, is Mike coming to dinner?" "No. lt's my first birthday with a boyfriend, and he has to work." "I'd get mad at him, but I think it's too soon to show my true colors." "I would make the reservation for five." "One of us has to stay with Emma." "Which one of us should go to dinner?" "Rachel!" "Actually, I was thinking maybe both of us could go." "Thanks. I'll put a lot of extra thought into your gift." "All right, so great, we can all go now." "That is fun!" "Hey!" "You know what?" "We all haven't been together, the six of us, in such a long time." "What are you talking about?" "We're together now." "Mon?" "Chandler's not here." "Oh, dear God." "Hello. lt's nice to see our team together for the first time." "Now, before we get started, are there any questions?" "Yes." "Ken, is it?" "That's right." "is it true the reason you're in Tulsa is, you fell asleep in a meeting and took the job without realizing what you were saying yes to?" "Well, don't believe everything you hear, Ken." "But yeah, that's true." "All right, let's get started by taking a look at last quarter's figures." "Claudia, aren't you supposed to blow smoke up the boss's ass?" "l'm sorry." "Does the smoke bother you?" "No. I smoked for years." "Then I quit." "Right now, I can't remember why." "You're not allowed to smoke in this office, right?" "Yes, in Oklahoma it's legal to smoke in offices with 1 5 people or less." "Would you like one?" "Would Joey like two pizzas?" "You don't know what I'm talking about." "All right, look. I don't smoke anymore." "But if the rest of you want to light up, go ahead, it's fine." "So, you all smoke, then?" "You know, it's almost rude that I'm not smoking." "That's not true. lf you don't want" "Ken, please!" "No, I can't. I can't smoke." "If I smoke, my wife would kill me." "I'm sorry, but isn't your wife back in New York?" "I've always liked you, Ken." "Trick or treat." "Hey." "And "treat" it is." "Wow." "So glad I changed." "I almost wore my threadbare robe that can't contain my breasts." "This is not what I'm wearing." "I'm ovulating and Chandler's gonna be home." "So, I thought we would try before dinner." "Oh, I thought we'd all go over together." "All right, I'll just meet you there at dinner." "Unless, I mean, if it helps, I could stay and watch." "No!" "Well, I didn't want to anyway." "You know, just thought I'd be polite and offer." "Wait, does this mean you'll be late?" "We haven't seen each other in over a week." "We'll probably be the first ones there." "Okay." "See you there." "Happy humping." "Hey." "Well, hey!" "Wow, somebody smoked out here?" "My God, don't people know you're not allowed to smoke in public spaces?" "Actually, in Oklahoma smoking's legal in offices with fewer than 1 5 people." "Oh, you smoked." "No. I just happen to know a lot of trivia about smoking in different states." "For example, in Hawaii, cigarettes are called lei-lana-lukus." "Oh, Chandler, you stink of cigarettes!" "Do you think Monica will smell it?" "Are you kidding?" "That woman has the nose of a bloodhound." "And the breasts of a Greek goddess." "Pheebs?" "I'm gonna go." "Okay." "Something to cover the smell." "Oven cleaner." "Unscented." "Welcome home." "I've missed you." "You want to join me in the bedroom?" "No, thanks, I'm good." "Okay." "So you want to play it that way, do you?" "Well, you know what, actually, I just got off a plane so I'm feeling gross." "I should take a shower." "Come here, you don't need a shower." "All right, the truth is I soiled myself during some turbulence." "What do I smell?" "I smell smoke." "Did you smoke?" "Yes." "But I just had one." "Two." "Two tiny cigarettes." "Okay, five." "A pack." "Two pack" " A carton." "Three big fat cartons in two days!" "But it's over. I've made a decision, I'm not gonna smoke anymore." "Well, those are for you." "All right." "Well, we'll just see you when you get here." "Bye." "Oh, that was my mom." "She's stuck in terrible traffic." "That is now the third sign that I should not leave Emma." "What are the other two?" "Well, the first one is, I don't want to." "And second one, I'm not going." "I know this is the first time we're leaving the baby." "I know how hard it is for you." "But...." "But everything's gonna be fine." "I mean, my mom is gonna be with her." "She's great with kids." "She is?" "Yeah." "What about Monica?" "You only hear Monica's side of that." "Okay, that little fatso was a terror!" "l just don't think I can do it." "Know what?" "You can and you should." "Really, it will be good for you." "In fact, you know what?" "Go ahead to the restaurant, and I will wait for my mom and then I'll meet you there." "No, no, really, you should go." "Go out." "Really, the world is your oyster." "Kick up your heels." "Paint the town red!" "You need to learn some new slang." "l'm serious." "Come on, you should go." "Here." "No, just go." "Well" "No, no!" "You know what?" "You're not getting back in there!" "The baby's fine." "Now, scram!" "Yeah, hit the bricks!" "Tell your story walking!" "I was just going to say that I left my keys." "Holy moley, are we in a pickle now!" "Where is everyone?" "They're 40 minutes late." "l know." "l'm starving." "I knew we were coming here tonight." "I ate nothing all day." "What about me?" "I only had one lunch today." "So, are we expecting the rest of our party shortly?" "Yes, they are expected presently." "Yeah." "Their arrival is in the offing." "Right." "We have a table for two available." "Perhaps you'd" "No, they're coming." "We're waiting right here." "Joseph!" "One needn't worry." "They shan't be long." "It's just that we do have some large parties waiting." "Oh, one really does have a stick up one's ass, doesn't one?" "Why would you start smoking again?" "It's so bad for you." "It's only been two days." "That's not enough time to" "That's totally unrelated." "How can you smoke in this day and age?" "Have you not seen that ad?" "Where the little kid walks through Grandpa?" "It's chilling!" "I messed up. lt was a meeting." "Everybody was smoking." "So what?" "Don't you have any willpower?" "Willpower?" "I've watched home movies of you eating Ding Dongs without taking the tinfoil off!" "You said that was sexy!" "Okay, look, can we just drop this?" "I'm not gonna smoke again." "That's right, because I forbid you to smoke again." "You forbid me?" "I've flown a long way to see my loving wife." "is she here, by the way?" "Chandler, don't joke with me." "Okay?" "I'm very, very upset right now." "ls this the most upset you could be?" "l think so." "Well, then I might as well do this." "Not really sure what to do now." "I'll tell you what we're gonna do." "We're already late for Phoebe's birthday dinner." "So you're going to put out that cigarette we're gonna put this fight on hold, and go have sex." "Fine." "What?" "What, do you have cigarettes in your ears?" "Sex!" "This is the last day I'm ovulating." "If we don't do it we're gonna have to wait until next month!" "You're serious?" "Oh, yeah!" "All right, fine, I'll do it, but no talking!" "And no cuddling." "And no kissing your neck." "Oh, good!" "I hate it when you do that!" "And lots of kissing your neck!" "Okay, well, the super's not home." "But my mother's gonna be here, and she has the key." "I can't wait that long." "You have to do something." "Knock that door down!" "I would, but I bruise like a peach." "Besides, you know, everything's gonna be fine." "The baby's sleeping." "What if she jumps out of the bassinet?" "Can't hold her head up, but jumped." "Oh, my God!" "I left the water running!" "You did not leave the water running." "Please, pull yourself together, okay?" "Well, did I leave the stove on?" "You haven't cooked since 1 996." "is the window open?" "If the window's open a bird could fly in and...." "My God, you know what?" "I think you're right." "Listen." "What?" "What?" "A pigeon." "No." "No, wait, no." "An eagle flew in!" "Landed on the stove and caught fire!" "The baby, seeing this, jumps across the apartment to the mighty bird's aid." "The eagle, however, misconstrues this as an act of aggression and grabs the baby in its talon." "Meanwhile, the faucet fills the apartment with water." "Baby and bird, still ablaze, are locked in a death grip swirling around the whirlpool that fills the apartment!" "Boy, are you gonna be sorry if that's true." "Hello." "Hi." "It's been an hour." "The maitre d' asked if you'd reconsider switching to a smaller table." "Maybe we should just eat now." "You can't order until the entire party's arrived." "Restaurant policy." "Well, how about this?" "Another table leaves, right but there's still some food left on their plates." "Okay, what's the restaurant's policy about people eating that?" "lt's frowned upon." "But it happens." "All right, I got to go to the bathroom." "You can't go." "No, no, no." "I can't hold this table on my own." "If they ask me to move, I'll cave." "Well, if you ask me to stay, I'll pee." "Good evening, miss." "Miss?" "Miss?" "Miss?" "Okay, fine, I'll move." "All right." "You don't have to manhandle me." "Where?" "Okay." "Thank you." "Wow." "Will you stop staring at us now?" "That depends." "Will your friend stop drinking olive oil directly from the bottle?" "Probably not." "Finally." "You guys made it." "Pheebs, who the hell--?" "What is taking you so long, Come on, let's get it over with!" "In a minute, sweet cakes." "Spend more time with the tie!" "That will make a baby." "Look, I can't do this. I can't make love to you while we're fighting this way." "Oh, sure." "Now you're Mr. Sensitivity." "But when you wanted to have sex after my uncle's funeral" "That was a celebration of life!" "All right, I'm not gonna do this." "is this the way you want our baby to be conceived?" "No, you're right." "We shouldn't do it like this." "For what it's worth, I'm sorry." "I shouldn't have come down on you so hard about the smoking." "So you had a few cigarettes." "It's not the end of the world." "Really?" "Yeah." "You are incredible." "And listen, I'm not gonna smoke again." "And if I do, I promise I will hide it so much better from you." "Want to?" "Let's celebrate life!" "Okay!" "Oh, God." "Oh, thank God you're okay." "I'm sorry we left." "Mommy will never leave you again." "Never, ever, ever again." "Great." "So let's get going." "I mean it." "After what just happened, I'm never leaving her again." "I understand." "Separation is hard." "One time I was about to leave Ross to go to the beauty parlor." "And he got so upset he took off all his clothes tucked his willy between his legs and cried out, "Mommy, I'm a girl." "Take me with you."" "Somehow, over time, it got easier to be apart from you." "You are welcome." "You know what?" "Let's not talk." "What?" "l am still so mad at you for smoking!" "But you said you forgave me." "It was just a couple of cigarettes, no big deal." "I was ovulating and you said you wouldn't have sex if we were fighting." "You tricked me to get me into bed?" "That's right. I got mine." "I feel so used." "Well, I guess they're not coming." "You want to just order?" "Thank you." "Waiter?" "All right, this is gonna go fast, so try to keep up." "Risotto with shaved truffles and the rib steak with the golden chanterelles and the Bordelaise sauce unless any of that stuff I just said means "snails."" "It does not." "Tomato tart, and which of the pastas would you recommend?" "Oh, well they're both exquisite" "Both it is." "Thank you." "Now, let's go, baby." "It's food time." "Bring it, bitch." "Sorry about that." "lt's quite all right." "Oh, can I make a special request?" "Can you bring everything as it's ready?" "Appetizers, entrées, we don't care." "Hey!" "l'll wait to put your order in." "What did I ever do to you?" "Nothing, bitch." "You guys are over an hour late." "What happened to you two?" "So sorry." "We got locked out of the apartment." "That's a great story." "Can I eat it?" "And then Rachel wasn't sure she could leave the baby." "It wasn't easy, but it's your birthday and I did what I had to do." "And that's Judy over there at the bar with Emma?" "This is for the best. I'm not distracted, worrying about Emma how she's doing at home, and I'm gonna be completely here with you." "Oh, she spit up." "She spit up." "What?" "Judy?" "She spit-- Judy, look alive, Judy!" "Thank you." "Thanks." "Oh, everything looks delicious." "What should I have?" "What should I have?" "Never hit a woman." "Never hit a woman." "I know what you mean, this menu's incredible." "Ross bruises like a peach." "He bruises like a peach." "Okay, I'll have the fig salad and the duck." "I'll have the soup and the salmon." "Remember, whatever comes up first, okay?" "Hurry" "Happy birthday!" "Son of a bitch!" "Where have you been?" "Well, we had a little fight." "I would never lie to get someone into bed." "You used to tell girls you were a Kennedy." "Thanks." "Thanks." "Wow." "A little tight, isn't it?" "Why didn't you get a bigger table?" "You had a big table but they made you move." "Shut up, Monica." "Oh, well, I suppose that Chandler will have the smoked duck." "And I suppose that Monica will have the manipulative shrew." "How did I miss that?" "l'll give you another minute." "What, where you going?" "He said she wanted the shrew!" "Rach, come on, Emma's fine." "You're turning into an obsessive mother, okay?" "You need to stop." "You ever hear the story about when Ross' mom went to the beauty salon?" "You mean the willy story?" "They already know it." "We've been waiting for you for a long time." "You should order." "That's okay." "l told the waiter what they want." "Why would you do that?" "Chandler, control your woman." "Okay, well...." "Everybody has ordered." "I would like to start the celebration and make a toast to Phoebe." "She dropped her sock." "What?" "No." "No, Emma dropped her sock." "How do you know that?" "She's over there." "Mom's with her." "Mom's here?" "I wanted to have lunch with her today." "She told me she was out of town." "She still has not noticed that the baby's sock is on the ground." "It's a good toast." "Look, will you please get her attention?" "Mommy?" "Mother." "Oh, for God's sake, Judy, pick up the sock!" "Pick up the sock!" "Pick up the sock!" "I'm sorry, was that rude?" "Did my little outburst blunt the hideousness that is this evening?" "Look, I know you have a lot going on but all I wanted to do was have dinner with my friends on my birthday." "And you are all so late, and you didn't even have the courtesy to call." "Well, it's too late now." "Pheebs, I don't think that's us." "Oh, well, this is" " This is not over!" "Hello?" "I feel terrible." "We should've been strong and left Emma at home." ""We"?" "There are some adult willy stories they don't know." "We should've been stronger." "What is going on with you two?" "Well, you see, I'm ovulating." "Oh, yeah, that's what she says." "Maybe you're not ovulating." "Maybe it's a clever ruse to get me into bed." "Yeah, Smokey, that's what it was." "I just can't get enough." "You're not gonna believe this." "She tricked me into having sex with her." "So?" "You got to have sex, right?" "What's the matter with me?" "Why am I such a girl?" "Okay." "That was Mike." "Oh, Phoebe, honey, we are so sorry." "You are totally right." "We are here 1 00 percent and we love you, and we are ready to start your birthday celebration." "You guys, that means the world to me." "Okay, I'm gonna take off." "What?" "I love you guys too, but, Mike got off work early." "Wait." "I'm not the-- l'm not the kind of girl that just ditches her friends to be with her boyfriend." "You know what?" "I am." "Bye, guys." "Judy!" "Bye." "If Phoebe's gone, can we take Emma home?" "That's a good idea." "Our babysitter just pounded another chardonnay." "Bye, you guys." "Bye." "See you." "Well, I guess it's just us." "So, I'm probably still ovulating." "Do you want to give it another try?" "All right." "So, you've never had sex with a Kennedy, have you?" "Actually, Richard was a Kennedy on his mother's side." "Why did you break up with that guy?" "You're gonna go do it?" "We don't have much time." "Once the egg descends into the fallopian tube" "Oh, wait, oh, get out of here!" "I sincerely hope the rest of your party is returning." "No, just me." "All alone." "Dinner for six for one." "Well, you boys are about to see something really special." "How was everything?" "Excellent." "The shrew, in particular, was exquisite." "I hope you've got some room left." "Joey." "Joey." "This is the best birthday ever!" "[english]"
