PHOEBE: That’s like the tenth time I’ve peed since I’ve been here!

MONICA: That’s also like the tenth time you told us.

PHOEBE: Yeah, oh I’m sorry, it must be really hard to hear! I tell ya, it’s a lot easier having three babies play Bringing in the Noise, Bringing in da Funk on your bladder! I’m so sick of being pregnant! The only happiness I get is from a cup of coffee, which of course is decaf, ‘cause—Oh! I’m pregnant!

ROSS: Pheebs, did...you want a cookie?

PHOEBE: Thank you so much.

RACHEL: So uh, Pheebs, honey, how are those mood swings coming?

PHOEBE: I haven’t really had any yet.


JOEY: Do you guys have like a big bowl I can borrow?

MONICA: Yeah, there’s one right under the cabinet.

JOEY: Thanks.

MONICA: Why do you need it?

JOEY: Oh, we’re having a big party tomorrow night. Later!

RACHEL: Whoa! Hey-hey, you planning on inviting us?

JOEY: Nooo, later.

PHOEBE: Hey!! Get your ass back here, Tribbiani!!!

RACHEL: Hormones!

MONICA: What Phoebe meant to say was umm, how come you’re having a party and we’re not invited?

JOEY: Oh, it’s Ross’s bachelor party.

MONICA: Sooo?

JOEY: Are you bachelors?

MONICA: Nooo!

JOEY: Are you strippers?

RACHEL: Nooo!

JOEY: Then you’re not invited.


RACHEL: All right fine! You’re not invited to the party we’re gonna have either.

JOEY: Oh-whoa, what party?

RACHEL: Well umm...

MONICA: The baby shower for Phoebe!

JOEY: Baby shower. Wow! That sounds sooo like something I don’t want to do! Later!


JOEY: This is what I’ve got going for the party so far, liquor wise. Get a lot of liquor.

ROSS: Great. Great.

JOEY: Okay, now uh, in terms of the invite list, I’ve got you, me, and Chandler and I’m gonna invite Gunther ‘cause, well, we’ve been talking about this pretty loud.


MONICA: Look what I got! Look what I got! Look what I got! Can you believe they make these for little people?

RACHEL: Little village people.

MONICA: Okay, look at this one. This is my favourite.

RACHEL: Oh, that is so sweet!

MONICA: I know! Phoebe is gonna love dressing them in these!

RACHEL: Huh. Except, Phoebe’s not gonna be the one that gets to dress them.

MONICA: Because she’s not gonna get to keep the babies.

RACHEL: Oh my God! We are throwing the most depressing baby shower ever!

MONICA: Wait a minute! Unless, we give her all gifts she can use after she’s done being pregnant. Like-like umm, regular coffee, Tequila.

RACHEL: Oh, and somebody can get those leather pants she’s always wanted!

MONICA: Oh, she’s gonna love that!


CHANDLER: Okay, a little announcement, a little announcement. I’ve decided that my best man is, my best friend Gunther!

GUNTHER: What’s my last name?

CHANDLER: Central Perk?


THE STRIPPER: Wow, I didn’t know they let you keep chickens and ducks as pets.

JOEY: Oh yeah-yeah. And I got the duck totally trained. Watch this. Stare at the wall. Hardly move. Be white.

THE STRIPPER: You are really good at that. So uh, I had fun tonight, you throw one hell of a party.

JOEY: Oh thanks. Thanks. It was great meetin’ ya. And listen if any of my friends gets married, or have a birthday, or a Tuesday...

THE STRIPPER: Yeah, that would be great. So I guess umm, good night.

JOEY: Oh unless you uh, you wanna hang around.

THE STRIPPER: Yeah?

JOEY: Yeah. I’ll let you play with my duck.


PHOEBE: ... so what’s happening with you?

RACHEL: Oh, well, actually we were just talking about me not going to Ross’s wedding.

PHOEBE: Oh!

RACHEL: It just might be too hard, given the history and all that...

PHOEBE: Wow! This reminds me of the time when I was umm, living on the street and this guy offered to buy me food if I slept with him.

RACHEL: Well, h-how is this like that?

PHOEBE: Well, let’s see, it’s not. Really, like that. Because, you see that was an actual problem, and uh, yours is just like y’know a bunch of y’know high school crap that nobody really gives y’know...


ROSS: Hey guys!

CHANDLER: Hey!

JOEY: Hey...

ROSS: I just wanted to thank you again for last night, what a great party! And the guys from work had a blast. Y’know, one of them had never been to a bachelor party before. Yeah! And-and another one had never been to a party before, so...


JOEY: So uh, hey, that uh, that wedding ring, huh? Man, that’s nice!

ROSS: Yeah, right!

JOEY: I was uh, I was thinking I might want to pick one of those babies up for myself, I might want to get one of those...

ROSS: That ring? When my grandmother first came to this country, that ring and the clothes on her back were all she had with her.

CHANDLER: So you might say, the ring is irreplaceable?

ROSS: Oh absolutely! It has been in my family for generations, and every bride who has worn it has had a long and happy life.

CHANDLER: So you might say, it’s a magic ring.

JOEY: Yeah, the stripper stole it.

ROSS: My-my ring? My-my wedding ring? The-the stripper stole my wedding ring?! H-how?! How could this all happen?!

CHANDLER: Well, I think it all started when you said, "Hey Joey, why don’t you be my best man."

ROSS: All right-all right, fine! I-I’m gonna call the cops!

JOEY: Dude, I screwed up, you don’t have to turn me in!

ROSS: Not on you! On the stripper!

JOEY: Oh, yeah, well I already did that! They said they’re gonna look into it right after they solved all the murders.

ROSS: Okay, well, we’ll call the company that sent her!

JOEY: I did that too! They wouldn’t give me her real name or her number. They said, "If I bothered them again they’d call the police." I said, "If you talk to the police, you tell them I’m missing a ring!"


JOEY: All right, okay, this is great, uh, Chandler, you get behind the desk. And-and when she comes in hopefully, she won’t recognise you because, well, why would she? Uh, okay, and then you buzz Ross and I. You be Mr. Gonzalez, and I’ll be uh, Mr. Wong.

ROSS: Diverse.


THE STRIPPER: Did anybody call for security?

CHANDLER: You be cool.

THE STRIPPER: Okay, which one of you guys is Gunther Central-Perk?


RACHEL: I still don’t get how you know when it’s false labour.

PHOEBE: Well, do you see any babies?


MONICA: How do you feel?

PHOEBE: Okay, I guess. I mean... I don’t know, it’s just, I guess I know it’s going to be over soon.

RACHEL: Well, isn’t that a good thing? You said you were sick of this.

PHOEBE: I know. It’s just y’know usually when you’re, when you’re done with the pregnant thing, y’know, then you get to do the mom thing. I’m gonna be y’know, sitting around in my leather pants, drinking Tequila.

MONICA: Some moms do that.

PHOEBE: Okay that’s even sadder. Look, I know, I know what I got myself into, it’s just that now that they’re in me it’s like, it’s like I know them y’know, I mean-I mean, it’s just not gonna be easy when these little babies have to go away.

MONICA: Aww, sweetie, but it’s not like you’re not gonna have anything. You’re gonna have nieces and nephews, and some ways that’s even better.

PHOEBE: Yeah, okay.

RACHEL: No, really. Really, Pheebs, you’re not gonna be the one worrying about saving for college, or yelling at them when they’re bad, y’know, or deciding to put them on Ritalin when they just won’t calm down. Y’know?

MONICA: I mean, you’re the one they’re gonna come to when they wanna run away from home, and the one they talk to about sex.
