words in movies
[Scene: A wintry February day in New York City, snowplows are clearing the streets. Inside Central Perk, all three girls are paying court to Ross.]
Ross: I dont know whether hes testing me, or just acting out, but my monkey is out of control. But, he keeps erasing the messages on my machine, "supposedly" by accident.
Ross: And then, like three days in a row he got to the newspaper before I did, and peed all over the crossword.
Ross: Oh, Pheebs, Im sorry, Ive got to go. Ive got Lamaze class.
Ross: No, Susans gonna be there too. Weve got dads, weve got lesbians, the whole parenting team.
Ross: No, no. (Distractedly putting on a jacket to go out) I mean, it mighta been at first, but by now I, I think Im pretty comfortable with the whole situation.
Monica: Ross, thats my jacket.
Ross: I know.
(Rachel grins as Ross removes the girlie jacket, grabs his own, and rushes out.)
[Scene: The Lamaze class, several couples and one trio sit on the floor, introducing themselves to the teacher, whos got as far as a woman sitting next to Ross, Carol, and Susan.]
Ross: Hi, um, Im err, (has to clear his throat) Im Ross Geller, and err ah... (pats Carols bulge) ..thats, thats my boy in there, and uh, (points) this is Carol Willick, and this... is Susan Bunch. Susan is um Carols, just, com... (embarrassment finally overwhelms the poor fellow, who becomes incoherent until) ..whos next?
Ross: Susan is Carols, Carols, Carols, friend...
Ross: Like buddies.
Ross: You know how close women can get.
Ross: Although I was married to her.
Ross: Err, right.
Ross: A little.
Ross: Absolutely. (Turns back to the woman next to him.) So, twins... hah! Thats like two births. (He struggles again.) Ouch.
[Scene: Monica and Rachel's, Ross, Chandler, and the girls are dividing some Chinese takeout, while the sitcom Family Matters is playing on the TV.]
Ross: It doesnt matter. You dont dip your pen in the company ink.
Monica: Ross, your little creatures got the remote again.
Ross: Marcel, Marcel, give Rossie the remote. Marcel. Marcel, you give Rossie the remote right now... Marce... you give Rossie the remote...
Ross: Relax, Ill fix it.
Ross: (looking at the remote) How did he do this?
Chandler: Yeah, listen. Okay, before you do anything Joey-like, you might wanna run it by err... (he indicates Phoebe, who is helping Ross understand the remote control.)
(He happily gestures at Chandler that there was nothing to worry about, then exits. Rachel and Monica are concerned for poor Phoebe, who slides back down next to Ross.)
Ross: You okay?
Ross: You wanna watch Laverne y Shirley?
(The sitcom begins with its familiar refrain, yet with a Latin lilt. Rachel and Monica do a little dance with their chopsticks, and Phoebe has to grin as Ross joins in the rhythm.)
[Scene: Lamaze class. Susan is there. Each couple has a doll, for they have just finished learning how to change a diaper. As Ross rushes in, stepping on the Rostins pretend baby, squashing its head flat. It bleats, in protest. He performs emergency surgery, then hands the doll back to J.C.]
Ross: Sorry.
Ross: Hi. Sorry Im late. Wheres, wheres Carol?
Ross: No... No... No. I think I should stay, I think we should both know whats going on.
(Ross and Susan each gesture for the other to lie down.)
Ross and Susan: What? What? What?
Ross: Okay, Im gonna play my sperm card one more time.
Ross: I see. So what do you propose to do?
Ross: Flip me for it? No, no, no... heads, heads, heads!
(Ross gets down like all the other mothers, cradled in Susans lap like all the other fathers.)
(Forgetting herself, Susan does the "Mommy" action with Ross.)
(Ross comes out of character to glare into the distance.)
[Scene: Lamaze class, Ross is again on the floor, cradled in Susans lap, but now Carol is cradled in his lap, and she has a pretend baby, on her lap. The teacher is showing her class a video, which is about to end.]
(People start getting up. Ross grabs Carols doll to hold it upside down like a football, slapping it with his other hand.)
Ross: Susan, go deep.
(Susan just glares back, as Rosss inappropriate joke falls flat. Meanwhile, a bubble is about to burst...)
Ross: Carol, honey, shhh, shhh, everythings gonna be alright.
Carol: (screaming at Ross) Oh, what do you know? No one's going up to you and saying, "Hi, is that your nostril? Mind if we push this pot roast through it?"
(Both women gulp in air. Ross looks at his "football," then manipulates the head & limbs back into place, until it resembles what it represents.)
(Ross is staring blankly into space.)
Susan: I mean, thats what this is all about, right? Ross? Ross?
Ross: Im gonna be a father.
Ross: I always knew I was havin a baby, I just never realised the baby was having me.
Ross: Aw, how can you say that? I cant even get Marcel to stop eating the bath mat. How am I gonna raise a kid?
Chandler: You know, Ross, some scientists are now saying that, that monkeys and babies are actually different.
[Scene: Monica and Rachels, Ross, Rachel, Chandler, and Phoebe are sharing a bowl of popcorn, while Monica carefully reads the instruction manual for her television set.]
Ross: No, come on, he doesnt know this stuff. If he knew how you felt.
(Monica and Ross indicate that they mean right now.)
ROSS: Open up. We want to talk to you.
ROSS: C'mon.
Ross: (sarcastically) And you didn't marry him because...?
ROSS: How could you not tell us?
(They fall to the couch and start to make out, but Ross stops suddenly.)
Phoebe: You bought your sheets at a flea market? Ross come on, you gotta loosen the purse strings a little.
ROSS: Hey.
ROSS: Hey.
ROSS: Oh man.
ROSS: You got it.
Ross: Umm, did you notice anything wierd about Ben today?
ROSS: Hey you guys.
ROSS: Excuse me, your, your, your wind?
ROSS: No?
ROSS: Uh, sweetie we've gotta go.
ROSS: What, what's that?
ROSS: Open it, open in.
ROSS: Woah.
[Scene: Ross's Apartment, a locksmith has finished changing the locks on Rosss door.]
ROSS: Look, I'm not being any of those things, ok, I'm just being realistic.
ROSS: That audition.
Rachel: Oh no, I know I couldnt see it either at first, but its right umm (Starts to cry) Ross, I lost it again.
ROSS: Ok, well then get some sense. I mean it took you what, 10 years to get that job, who knows how long it's gonna be till you get another.
ROSS: Toilet paper?
Ross: I found a note on my door, "Come to Monicas quick, bring champagne and a Three Musketeers bar."
JOEY: I don't need to think about it. I was Dr. Drake Remoray. That was huge. Big things are gonna happen, you'll see. Ross, you still there?
Ross: Well, I'm gonna go get ready, (Gives Monica the fist thing.) for my date tonight, so ah, I'll just_ head.
Rachel: Look, this is not that big of a deal! You just dont date Ross! Theres a million other guys out there, you just
Ross: Yeah. The doctor got the 'K' out. He also found an 'M' and an 'O'.
(She opens the door to reveal Ross with a pencil mark from his forehead to his chin.)
JOEY: Thanks Ross.
ROSS: Good for you.
ROSS: What?
ROSS: Well I'm sorry, I think about stuff. Ya know, I mean, you're at work, you're assembling bones, your mind wanders.
ROSS: Huh.
Ross: Look, our table is down in front, okay, my boss is gonna be there, everyone will see if we arrive after it starts.
Chandler: Yes! Way to go, man! (Chandler and Ross hug. Something crunches in Ross' shirt pocket.) Still got the egg, huh?
Ross: (puzzled) Ok!... All right, thanks! Thank you so much, you guys! (to Phoebe) Oh, I can't tell you how much it means to me that you were here!
(Rachel enters with Paolo, speaking Italian. Ross looks annoyed)
ROSS: Huh, I'm just saying...
Ross: I'm telling you, she said she's looking for a relationship with someone exactly like me.
Ross: Im just trying to help you, move on.
ROSS: What're you talkin' about?
CHANDLER: Hey look, are we gonna have to bring this out every time Ross comes over?
[Scene: Central Perk, Monica, Rachel, Phoebe, Joey, Chandler are there. Ross is still talking to the beautiful woman.]
Chandler: Ross, it's just a sandwich!
ROSS: Yeah but Phoebs, what about the end?
Ross: I mean youre not gonna give me a-a ticket for driving too slow are ya?
ROSS: Wha, what?
ROSS: What, the word hi?
JOEY: And for Ross, Mr. Sweet-tooth.
ROSS: Something about hi.
ROSS: Bye.
[Scene: The Wedding Hall, Monica and Chandler have just said "I do," and the photographer is taking the required pictures. First of Monica, Chandler, Ross and Joey.]
ROSS: Bye.
[Scene: Central Perk, all except Phoebe are there, Ross is telling the gang, minus Rachel whos still being retrained, about the different cookie options.]
Ross: You guys, just please.. a little bit longer. I promise, Rachel will be back with the cake any minute. Monica, remember.. the frosting? huh?
ROSS: Bye.
ROSS: Bye Ben.
Ross: I remember the moonlight coming through the window- and her face had the most incredible glow.
ROSS: Oh yeah.
ROSS: Freakish.
ROSS: Yeah alright.
Ross: Well this, this is too much, I feel like I should get you another sweater.
Ross: Look at me! (Chandler squeaks in an attempt not to make fun of him.)
Rachel: Whoa!! Whoa, whoa, wait a minute. What time did your little friend leave? (Ross cant answer that) Oh my God. She was there? She was still there? She was in there, when I was in there?!
ROSS: Hi.
Joey: Ross, did you really read all these baby books?
Ross: Were really gonna do this, huh?
ROSS: No, no, she's great and it's not like we haven't done anything. I mean, uh, uh, we, we do plenty of other stuff, lot's of other stuff, like uhh. . .
[Scene: Museum of Prehistoric History, Ross and a co-worker (Marsha) are setting up an exhibit which includes some mannequins of cave people.]
ROSS: Mon, speaking of which, dad says he knows someone you can call for an interview.
[Scene: Monica and Chandlers, Time lapse. Jack is still on the couch, picking his teeth with his feet on the table. Phoebe and Judy are sitting on the table looking at him. Ross and Chandler are sitting by the window talking. Rachel and Joey are in the kitchen fooling with Rachels trifle. Monica walks into the living room from the kitchen.]
ROSS: What?
ROSS: You know, you are so amazing, is there anything you, you don't know?
ROSS: Do you say this stuff to girls?
ROSS: I know.
Ross: He could never get a woman like that in a million years.
ROSS: Yeah.
Ross: Good-good-good.
ROSS: Thank you.
Ross: Oh, (grins) Believe me, the ladies, they love it!
ROSS: Absolutely.
Ross: (surprised, chuckling nervously) Of course it's your friend Tanya. (looks up frightenedly)
MONICA: Ross, the heat!
ROSS: No.
Ross: Okay? But-but imagine a lot more lights, okay? And-and yknow fewer bricks, and-and-and flowers, and candles
ROSS: Yeah, sure.
Ross: (hitting Monica with his suitcase) (to Charlie) We should probably get going, you know, we got a lot of ground to cover.
Ross: Yeah, I think she looks good.
Ross: Well be starting with apples.
Ross: Of course he is! What, do you think Id just use my son as-as an excuse? What kind of father do you think I am?
Ross: Check it out! Almost 3 hours without droppin' it!
Ross: Hold on a second, alright? Just think about what you went through the last time you quit.
(Ross falls back inside)
Ross: That, for all I knew would, could last forever. That to me is a break-up.
Ross: And why exactly would I do that? (Goes back to writing on the board.)
Rachel: What?! I didn't have a good time in Greece! Ross abandoned me! Okay, I couldn't get a plane out, so I had to stay in their honeymoon suite with people coming up to me all the time going, "Oh, Mrs. Geller, why are you crying?" I mean, it was sooo humiliating. I felt like such an idiot! I mean, it's all my fault! And you know why, because I make very bad decisions.
ROSS: Yes, and that's why we're here.
Ross: Oh. (pause) Hey, who's Carl?
