Charlie: Benjamin Hobart is administering that grant.
[Scene: A restaurant. Ross and Charlie are waiting for her ex-boyfriend, Benjamin Hobart]
Ross: I can't believe I'm about to meet Benjamin Hobart. I've always thought of him as one of the people I'd invite to my fantasy dinner party. Do you think there's any chance he'll bring Christie Brinkley or C3PO?
Benjamin: Charlie! My God, you look absolutely stunning!
Benjamin: So good to see you.
Charlie: Me too. (she and Benjamin are hugging for very long and Ross starts pretending to clear his throat, until they stop)
Charlie: I'm sorry... (introduces them to each other) Ross Geller... Benjamin Hobart.
Benjamin: Oh, well, likewise. Actually, not likewise. I've never heard of you until this morning, but, it's nice to be nice!
Charlie: Shall we? (they sit down and Benjamin takes Ross' chair).
Benjamin: (to Ross) Thank you! (to Charlie). I can't believe that you chose this restaurant! Do you remember the night?
Benjamin (to Ross): You weren't there!
Benjamin: So, tell me about it.
Benjamin: M-m.
Benjamin: Break up with Charlie!
Benjamin: What?
Benjamin: Well, yes, and now. Yes I did say it, and no, I didn't not say it.
Benjamin: I'm sorry. I just haven't seen her for so long! All these feelings are rushing back! I'm starting to realize how much I missed her, and I'm gonna need you to break up with her.
Benjamin: If you say yes then I'm serious, if you say no then I'm joking!
Benjamin: Joking it is!
[Scene: Interview room. Ross and two other professors (one man, one woman) are sitting on one side of a long desk. Benjamin Hobart is sitting on the other side]
Benjamin: The selection committee has chosen the three of you as our finalists today. The ultimate decision will be based upon the answers you give to the questions I ask here. I'm gonna start with Dr. Li. Dr. Li, you claim the field is too reliant on the Linnaean taxonomic system. How do you propose to correct this problem?
Benjamin: (nods) Interesting.
Benjamin: Dr. Biely, your proposal includes some field work. Where might that take place?
Benjamin: Certainly. Very well. And Dr. Geller, when is my birthday?
Ross: (shocked and confused by the question) What? I... I... (Benjamin looks at him as if to say "What's wrong? Answer the question")
Benjamin: Care to venture a guess?
Benjamin: (looks surprised and un-impressed) That's not even kinda close! (Ross looks around confused) Dr. Li, how many graduate students you'd be needing?
Benjamin: I see, and Dr. Biely?
Benjamin: Certainly. Dr. Geller, which 1965 Shirelles hit was later covered by a popular British invasion band?
Benjamin: No! I'm sorry, we were looking for "Baby It's You". Baby It's You.
Benjamin: You're right, I apologize. Scratch the last question. Spell "Boscodictiasaur".
Benjamin: Yeah, I just made it up. Spell it.
Benjamin: No, it starts with a silent "M".
[Scene: Ross' office. Ross is pacing and Benjamin enters]
Benjamin: I've come here to apologize. I think I may have let my feelings for Charlie interfere with the interview process.
Benjamin: Anyway, I've decided to offer you the grant.
Benjamin: Well... there is just one small... stipulation...
Benjamin: Hey, you got one right!
Benjamin: Crazy, or... romantic?
Benjamin: Ooor...
Ross: (Yelling) Get out! (Benjamin leaves)
Benjamin: Dr. Geller...? Charlie... What are you... what are you doing here?
Benjamin: Like I tried to tell you in the interview Ross, this grant is not based on your knowledge of pretty useless trivia.
Benjamin: Alright, it's true. I behaved horribly. But it's only because I still love you. And I would do anything to have you back in my life.
Benjamin: I never should have broken up with you. I think about you all the time. I mean, do you ever still think about me?
Benjamin: Listen, I know, I may be way out of bounds here, but is there any chance you will take me back?
Benjamin: (puts his hand on Ross's other cheek) I'm sorry too...
Benjamin: I love you!
Ross: (a little suprised) Two? Wha...? Don't tell me you dated Benjamin Hobart
