RACHEL: OK, OK, I checked, we have Earl Grey, English Breakfast, Cinnamon Stick, Camomile, Mint Medley, Blackberry, and er, oh wait, there was one more, erm, Lemon Soother!

CUSTOMER: [blank]

RACHEL: You're not the guy who asked for the tea, are you? ... OK.


ROSS: Marcel, bring me the rice! Come on! Bring me the rice! Come on! Good boy! Good boy! Come on, give me the rice!... Thank you. Good boy! Ah I see he's finally mastered the difference between "bring me the" and "pee in the".


ROSS: Whoa. What, er, what happened to, er, "forget relationships", "I'm done with men", the whole, er, penis embargo?

RACHEL: Oh. I don't know. I guess it's not about "no guys", it's about the "right guy" you know?

ROSS: Mmm.

RACHEL: I mean with Barry, it was, it was safe, and it was easy, but there was no heat.

ROSS: Mmm.

RACHEL: You know with Paulo, that all there was, was heat. I, I mean it was just this raw, animal, sexual...

ROSS: Right, right. I, I got it. I was there.

RACHEL: Ah. I mean, do you think you can ever have both? You know, someone who's, like, who's like your best friend, but then also can make your toes curl?

ROSS: Yes, yes, yes. Yes! Yes! I do! I really do! Er, in fact, it's funny. Very often, someone who you wouldn't think could, could, curl your toes, might just be the one who, er, who...

MONICA: Hi!

ROSS: ...gets interrupted! Hi!


RACHEL: Hey guys, how was the movie?

PHOEBE: Oh, it was so good.

MONICA: Wonderful.

JOEY: Suckfest!

CHANDLER: Total chick-flick!

PHOEBE: I'm sorry it wasn't one of those movies with, like, you know, like guns and bombs and like buses going really fast.

JOEY: Hey. I don't need violence to enjoy a movie, just so long as there's a little nudity.

MONICA: There was nudity!

JOEY: I meant female nudity! Alright, I don't need to see Lou Grant frolicking!

MONICA and PHOEBE: Hugh! Hugh Grant!


JOEY: Tonight, tonight?

ROSS: Well, I think it's perfect, you know, it's just gonna be the two of us, she's spent all day taking care of my monkey...

CHANDLER: I can't remember the last time I got a girl to take care of my monkey.


ROSS: Anyway, you know, I figured after work, I'd go pick up a bottle of wine, go over there, and, er, try to woo her.

CHANDLER: Hey. You know what you should do? You should take her back to the 1890's when that phrase was last used.


JOEY: Alright, alright, alright, you're a monkey, you're loose in the city... Where do you go?

CHANDLER: OK. It's his first time out, so he's probably gonna want to do some of the touristy things... I'll go to Cats, you go to the Russian tea-room.


MONICA: OK. We'll start with the building. You guys take the first and second floor, Phoebe and I will take third and fourth.

RACHEL: Wha, wha, wh, what am I gonna do? What am I gonna do?

MONICA: OK. You stay here. You just wait by the phone. Spray Lysol in my shoe, and wait for Ross to kill you.


HECKLES: What do you want?

MONICA: Mr. Heckles. Our, our friend's lost a monkey. Have you seen it?

HECKLES: I left a Belgian waffle out here. Did you take it?

MONICA: No!

PHOEBE: Why would you leave your Belgian waffle in the hall?

HECKLES: I wasn't ready for it.

MONICA: The monkey? Have you seen a monkey?

HECKLES: Saw Regis Philbin once...

PHOEBE: OK. Thank you Mr. Heckles

HECKLES: You owe me a waffle.


ROSS: I, I, I can't, I can't believe this. I mean, all I asked you to do was keep him in the apartment.

RACHEL: I know, I know, I'm sorry...

ROSS: No, no. You know what? I guess it's partially my fault, you know, I shouldn't have asked you to, er, start off with a monkey. I should have started you off with, like, a pen or a pencil.


ROSS: You've called Animal Control?

RACHEL: Uh-huh. Why? Do you not like them?

ROSS: Huh! Marcel is an illegal exotic animal. I'm not allowed to have him in the city. If they find him, they'll take him away from me...

RACHEL: OK. Well, now, see, you never ever ever told us that...

ROSS: That's right, cos I didn't expect you were gonna invite them to the apartment!


RACHEL: Hi! Thanks for coming!

ANIMAL CONTROL: Somebody called about a monkey?

RACHEL: Oh. Oh yeah! You know what? That was a complete misunderstanding.

ROSS: Yeah. We, we thought we had a monkey, but we didn't.

RACHEL: It turned out it was a hat!

ROSS: Cat!


MONICA: Hi. We checked the third and fourth floor, no-one's seen Marcel.

ANIMAL CONTROL: Marcel?

ROSS: My uncle Marcel...

PHOEBE: Oh, is that who the monkey's named after?

ANIMAL CONTROL: OK. Are you aware that possession of an illegal exotic is, er, punishable by up to two years in prison and confiscation of the animal?

PHOEBE: Oh my god. You'd put that poor little creature in jail?


MONICA: Look. I'm sure there's some friendly way to reconcile this. Erm, have a seat. First of all, we haven't been introduced. I, I'm Monica Geller...

ANIMAL CONTROL: Oh my god, you are! And you're Rachel Green!

RACHEL: Yeah!

ANIMAL CONTROL: Louisa Jeanette. Lincoln High? I sat behind you guys in, in homeroom!

RACHEL: Louisa? Oh my god! Monica! It's Louisa!

MONICA: Louisa! From homeroom!

RACHEL: Yes!

LOUISA: You have no idea who I am, do you?

RACHEL: No.

MONICA: Not at all.


CHANDLER: Oh, no, wait, wait, no, wait, wait. Erm, we may not know anything about radiators, per se, but we do have a certain amount of expertise in the heating and cooling milieu...

JOEY: Er, aren't we kind of in the middle of something here?

CHANDLER: Yes, but these women are very hot, and they need our help... And they're very hot!

JOEY: We can't, alright? Huh, we're sorry. You have no idea how sorry, but we promised we'd find this monkey. If you see him, he's about yay high, and answers to the name Marcel, so, if we could get some pictures of you, you'd really be helping us out!

CHANDLER: OK. From now on, you don't get to talk to other people.


PHOEBE: Oh my god! Something just brushed up against my right leg!

MONICA: What is it?

PHOEBE: Oh, oh. It's OK! It was just my left leg.


RACHEL: Ross, you know, I've said I'm sorry, like, a million times. What do you want me to do? Huh? What do you want, you want me to break my foot too? Is that it? OK, here, I'm gonna break my foot, right now, there... Ow! Oh god, oh my god! There, are you happy now?

ROSS: Yeah. Yeah. You know, now that you kicked the sign, hey, I don't miss Marcel any more!


PHOEBE: Oh. This is so intense. One side of my butt is totally asleep, and the other side has no idea!


ROSS: Hi! Did you order some bananas?

HECKLES: What about it?

ROSS: Give me my monkey back!

HECKLES: I don't have a monkey.

RACHEL: Then what's with all the bananas?

HECKLES: Potassium.
