The One With A Chick. And A Duck


[Scene: Outside Central Perk, Rachel and Phoebe are helping Monica learn how to roller skate by rolling her between themselves.]

Rachel: So who抯 idea was it to put everybody in the diner on skates?

Monica: Oh, some idiot customer put a suggestion in the suggestion box.

Phoebe: Oh my God, they took my idea!

Monica: That was you?!

Phoebe: Yeah! Okay, here you go. (rolls her back to Rachel)

Gunther: (bringing Rachel a mug) Rachel, I made you a cocoa.

[He distracts her from catching Monica and Monica slams into her, knocking her down. Monica then falls on top of her.]

Phoebe: Oh my God, are you guys okay?

Gunther: Are you all right?

Joey: (leaving Central Perk and seeing Monica laying on top of Rachel who is moaning in pain.) Oh my.

(They both turn and give him a dirty look.)

OPENING CREDITS
[Scene: Chandler and Joey's, Joey is watching Quincy M.E. as Chandler is walking into the living room from his bedroom.]

Chandler: (sporting a goatee) Hey.

Joey: Hey. Y'know with that goatee you kinda look like Satan.

Chandler: Oh, so that抯 why the priest threw holy water on me. (there抯 no reaction from Joey) Okay, listen, you have to cheer up! Okay? You should come out with Ross and me, I mean anything is better than sitting around here crying all day about Kate.

Joey: Hey I was crying because, because nobody believed Quincy抯 theory. Okay?

Ross: (entering) Hey!

Chandler: Hey.

Ross: (triumphantly) I抦 gonna be on TV!!

Chandler: No way!

Ross: Yeah! They抮e putting together this panel to talk about these fossils they just found in Peru and The Discovery Channel抯 gonna film it!

Chandler: Oh my God! Who抯 gonna watch that?!

Ross: Thanks. You ready to go?

Chandler: Yeah. (they start to leave)

Joey: Saw a girl with that vest.

Chandler: Thanks. (He takes off the vest and throws it on the floor.)

Anchorwoman: (on TV) While most of us think of chocolate bunnies and baskets as traditional Easter gifts. Some people insist on giving live chicks as presents. (Joey is intrigued by the idea) Unfortunately, the sad fact remains that most of these little guys won抰 live to see the fourth of July. (Joey starts to call a place to buy a little baby chick) Because of as a result of improper care, they will be dead.

Joey: (on phone) Yeah, hi. You guys got any of those baby chicks? 慍ause I was watching this ah, commercial on TV and man, those guys are cute!

[Scene: The Moondance Diner: Pete is entering, Monica is on roller skates.]

Pete: Hi!

Monica: Hi! Hey, Pete you抮e back! Hey, check this out. (She starts to skate over to him)

Pete: Wow! Skates!

(She gets just about all the way over to him and falls into his arms.)

Monica: Wow! You抮e a lot sturdier that Chandler. He crumpled like a piece of paper. So how was you抮e trip?

Pete: Well... (he holds up a gift he brought her)

Monica: Oh, what抎 ya bring me?! (She opens the gift) Awww, hotel toiletries from Japan. Oh, these are gonna go in my permanent collection. You want some coffee?

Pete: Yeah, sure, that抎 be great.

(She starts to go and get the coffee and falls behind the counter.)

Monica: (popping back up) Regular or decaf?

Pete: Ah, which ever is closest.

Monica: Okay. (hands him a cup)

Pete: So ask me what I did today.

Monica: So what did you do today Pete?

Pete: I bought a restaurant and I would like you to be the head chef.

Monica: What?! Oh.(She turns around quickly and falls)

[Scene: Monica and Rachel's, Monica is telling Rachel about Pete抯 offer.]

Monica: Can you believe he just offered me a restaurant?

Rachel: What a jerk! You want me to kick his ass?

Monica: I mean this has been like my dream since I got my first Easy Bake Oven and opened Easy Monica抯 Bakery. I mean I would kill for this job. I mean I can totally do this job, and God knows I paid my dues. (She removes her fake breasts) But Pete抯 just doing this because he has a crush on me.

Rachel: And you抮e still not attracted to him at all?

Monica: Hmm, no. I mean how can I accept a restaurant from him? I-I-I-I can抰. I couldn抰 even accept a necklace from Stu Vincent in the seventh grade.

Rachel: Yeah, but Mon that抯 totally different. He was you抮e health teacher.

Monica: Oh, please.

(She slaps Rachel抯 side and Rachel screams in pain.)

Monica: What? Honey.

Rachel: Oh, I am, my side still hurts from when you crashed into me yesterday.

Monica: Oh God, I抦 so sorry.

Rachel: I know.

(Monica hugs her goes and hugs her)

Rachel: Ow!!

Monica: Oh God!

Ross: (entering, wearing a white suit with a little red bow tie) Hey, you guys! Guess what?

Rachel: (looking at the outfit) Got a job on a river boat?

Ross: Y'know what I didn抰 wear this suit for a year because you hated it. Well, guess what? You抮e not my girlfriend anymore so...

Rachel: Oh I see, so this suit is making a point.

Ross: Right.

Rachel: Now that you抮e on you抮e own, you抮e free to look as stupid as you like.

Ross: (to Monica) You like it right?

Monica: Oh absolutely. I like it even more on you than I did on Colonel Sanders. (Ross starts to leave) Ross! Ross! I抦 kidding!

Rachel: Yeah, come here!

Monica: What-what was it you were gonna tell us?

Rachel: Yeah. Oh! Was how you invented the cotton gin?!

Ross: Okay, good bye! (leaves)

[Scene: Chandler and Joey's, Chandler is talking to Phoebe about her suggestion.]

Chandler: So um, after you put the suggestion in the box, how long did it take for the roller skating thing to happen.

Phoebe: Umm, oh, about three months.

Chandler: Okay, so I guess that抯 about ah, two weeks before the topless thing kicks in.

Joey: (entering carrying a box) Hey!!

Chandler: Hey!

Joey: I got you something! Open it! Open it!

Chandler: Okay. (He opens it and it抯 a baby chick) It抯 a chicken.

Joey: It抯 cute, huh?

Phoebe: Whoa-whoa-whoa, you guys, do you know anything about chicks?

Chandler: Fowl? No. Women? Nooo.

Phoebe: Okay, well they are a huge responsibility, especially at this age. They require constant care. They-they need just the right food, and lot抯 and lot抯 of love.

Joey: Oh, well no problem there. (He picks up the chick, hugs it really tight, and talks to it like it抯 a little baby.)

Chandler: Easy Lenny.

[Scene: The Moondance Diner, Pete is talking to Monica about the restaurant.]

Pete: So? I mean have you thought about it?

Monica: Okay. Here抯 the thing.

Pete: Oh no, not the thing. I hate the thing. What抯 the thing?

Monica: I can抰 do it. I抦 sorry, I wish I could, but umm, see you have these feelings for me....

Pete: Wait, wait, wait, wait, that抯-that抯 what you抮e worried about? If that抯 the problem, we抳e got no problem.

Monica: Huh?

Pete: No! Look, I was gonna tell you this over dinner, but I met somebody else. On my trip.

Monica: Oh?

Pete: Her name抯 Ann, she抯 a journalist. Ahh, we met on the plane. She asked me if she could finish off my peanuts, I thought she said something else, we had a big laugh. Yeah, I just, I mean I got, I got tired of waiting.

Monica: Oh, that抯 great! I mean I抦-I抦 sorry, but I抦 so happy for you. And now I can work for you!

Pete: I guess you can.

Monica: Oh my God! Oh, this is incredible! Ohh! (she rolls over and kisses him on the cheek) All right, y'know what? I抦 just gonna roll right into that office and-and quit!

Pete: All right.

Monica: Okay. (she gets ready to go) Can you give me a little push?

Pete: Yeah, sure. Good luck!

Monica: (rolling towards the office) I抦 quitting!! Woo-hoo! (She rolls through a doorway and out of sight. We then hear a big crash, and see Monica roll past the door the other way.) I抦 okay!! I抦 all right!!

Phoebe: (to Pete) Wow! That抯 exciting, you went to Japan, made up a woman.

Pete: What?

Phoebe: I抦 just saying, this woman, I mean she抯 fictitious. No?

Pete: Why would you say that?

Phoebe: 慍ause you抮e still into Monica. So you told her there was somebody else so she would agree to work with you, so 慶ause you figure oh if you spent a lot of time together, maybe something might happen, and...

Pete: You抮e good. You抮e good!

Phoebe: Yeah, no, I抦 fairly intuitive and psychic. It抯 a substantial gift.

Pete: Listen, can you promise me that you won抰 tell her though?

Phoebe: Absolutely, oh I promise. Tell her what?

Pete: Thanks a lot.

Phoebe: No I抦 serious. I mean I抦 intuitive, but my memory sucks.

[Scene: Chandler and Joey's, Chandler is baby-chick sitting.]

Chandler: Okay, but this is the last time. (singing) With a chick-chick here, and a chick-chick there. Here a chick, there a chick, everywhere a chick-chick-(Joey enters)-chickeeeen.

Joey: Hey.

Chandler: Hey.

Joey: How抯 she doing?

Chandler: She?

Joey: Well yeah, don抰-don抰 you think it抯 a she?

Chandler: I don抰 know. (He picks the chick up and turns it over, trying to determine the sex of the chick, and blows on it.) I can抰 tell, what ever it was went back in too quickly.

Joey: Well, anyway, I got to go change, I抦 ah, meeting some of the cast for drinks.

Chandler: Excuse me?

Joey: What?

Chandler: I stayed home from work today while you were at rehearsal so somebody could be here with our chick!

Joey: Hey! Who was up from 2 o抍lock this morning until 5 o抍lock this morning trying to get her back to sleep?

Chandler: You don抰 think I get up when you get up?

Joey: Ohhh, here it comes.

Chandler: Yes, here it comes! I抦 stuck here all day, and then you come in and spend two seconds with us and then expect to go off gallivanting with your friends? Well I don抰 think so mister!

Joey: Hey!! I need to relax! Okay? I was working all day!

Chandler: And you don抰 think taking care of our chick is work?

Joey: That抯 not what I said. Okay, I just meant...

Chandler: I know what you meant!! (pause) You notice that ever since we got this chick, we抳e been fighting a lot more than we used too?

Joey: I don抰 know, maybe we weren抰 ready to have a chick.

Chandler: I抣l take her back tomorrow.

Joey: Do you think we抣l get our three bucks back?

Ross: (entering carrying a garment bag) Hey!

Chandler: Hey!

Ross: (sees the chick) Ohhh, hey! All right, listen, I-I have that TV thing in like two hours, and I need your help, okay? What do you think? (takes out two suits) This blue suit, or this brown one?

Joey: Well, the brown one brings out your eyes, but your butt looks great in the blue one.

Ross: Really? (Joey gives him a 慙ike I would know?look)

[Scene: Monica and Rachel's, Rachel is trying to take some aspirin.]

Rachel: (she reaches for the bottle) Oww! (She grabs the bottle, but has trouble opening it. She pops the top off and aspirins fly all over the place as Ross enters.)

Ross: Wow! That aspirin dance really works!

Rachel: (She bends over to try and pick up the aspirin) Oww!

Ross: Oh my God, is that still...

Rachel: I抦 fine, I抦 fine.

Ross: No you抮e not.

Rachel: Yes I am!

Ross: Rach!

Rachel: Look, I抦 fine. Watch. (She picks up an aspirin between her toes) Look at that. (She lifts her leg to grab the aspirin with her hand and almost falls over.) Whoa-whoa!

Ross: (stopping her from falling) Okay, okay. Look, you have got to go to a doctor! Okay?

Rachel: No. I have got to get ready and go to a dinner at my bosses house. It抯 a very big deal, there抯 a lot of people there I have to meet.

Ross: And I抦 sure you抮e gonna make a big impression. Hi! I抦 Rachel Green. It抯 nice to meet you. (He lifts his leg and imitates shaking hands with it, just like how Rachel was trying to pick up the aspirin with her feet.) Come on, you probably have a broken rib!

Rachel: Well, I will go to the hospital tomorrow, it抣l still be broken then.

Ross: Rach...

Rachel: But y'know, I could use a hand getting ready.

Ross: Rachel...

Rachel: Look, either help me or go.

Ross: Fine. I抣l go.

Rachel: (with a hurt expression on her face) Okay, but before you go, could you help me first?

Ross: (He checks his watch) Sure. I抣l help you.

Chandler: (rushing in) Oh, good! Good! Do you guys know how to get a chick out of a VCR?!

Rachel: (She drops the brush) Y'know what? I cannot do this with my left hand! Would you please, help me with this too?

Ross: Ohh. (He drops the shoes, takes the brush from her, and licks the tip. He doesn抰 like how it tastes.)

Rachel: (taking the brush back) Okay. Let抯 use this brush. (Hands him another one.)

Ross: Okay. This stuff?

Rachel: Yeah.

Ross: All right.

Rachel: Careful. Light. Okay, do you know how, just sweep it across the lid. Okay? Just sweep it.

(Of course it抯 too late for that.)

Ross: No. No, y'know you don抰, you don抰 wear enough of this. (Rachel is shocked) What?

Rachel: Since when, since when do you think I don抰 wear enough of this?

Ross: Well I, close your eyes, I just think you抮e gonna like this a little better, 慶ause, close-close... (He gets some more on the brush)

Monica: What?

Phoebe: But I can抰 tell you.

Monica: Okay, but wouldn抰 it be easier if you had to tell me something that you could tell me.

(Joey wants to know, but Chandler doesn抰 want to discuss it by the chick, so he and Joey move over to the windows and away from the chick.)

Chandler: If they can抰 find a home for her, they kill her! And I抦 not gonna let that happen to little Yasmine!

Joey: Okay, good, good, good, 慶ause, good, 慶ause I was kinda having second thoughts too.
