words in movies
Ross: Yeah. Yeah. Yes, this place is beautiful. Emilys parents got married here.
Ross: Postpone it? Emily, do you think Monica realises how much our parents spent on this wedding? Do you my sisters teeny-tiny little brain comprehends that people took time out of their lives to fly thousands of miles to be here, huh? (He puts his pants on backwards.) This isnt right.
Phoebe: Oh...yes..is this..umm..Emilys Parents house.
[Scene: Rehearsal dinner hall. Ross and Emily are standing in the reception area. Monica arrives with her parents.]
Monica: (Looking nauseous from her parents kissing.) And Im going to go get drunk. (Gets up to get a drink.)
(Ross and Emilys parents are seated at a table. Ross is between them and they are discussing the wedding bill.)
(Back in the chapel. The parents are still fighting over the bill. Ross is refereeing.)
Ross: (Stepping in between them.)Okay! Okay! Thats it!! Parents!! Parents!! Back away!! All right, this is our wedding day! From now on everyone gets along, and if I hear one more word. NO GRANDCHILDREN! (Pointing at his mother.) Thats right!!
Phoebe: (disappointed) Oh, okay. Well, so tell me everything about my parents. Everything.
Phoebe: I know! So this woman probably could like have all kinds of stories about my parents, and she might even know like where my Dad is. So I looked her up, and she lives out by the beach. So maybe this weekend we could go to the beach?
Monica: Thanks, Im set. Do you still live with your parents?
ROSS: Well then that's it. And if George and Adelaide can't accept that, then the hell with them. Look, if my parents didn't want me to marry you, no way that would have stopped me. Look, this is your wedding. Do it.
Ross: Oh, Im actually on my way to tell her right now. Yeah, shes been away all week visiting her parents, but shell be cool. I mean, shes been so supportive. She-she even got the baby a tiny T-shirt that says, Fossils are my friends.
Monica: Oh! (Gets up) Lets see, well if this is the wedding hall then umm (Walks away) youre parents will be at home in Queens.
Rachel: Your parents?
Chandler: Hey! (Sees Ross is there) Oh, good, Ross! Youre parents like me, right?
RACHEL: I just can't believe this is happening. I mean, when I was little, everybody's parents were getting divorced. I just figured as a grownup I wouldn't have to worry about this.
Chandler: Okay, here is the thing. We have thrown a very formal surprise party for you in there! All of your friends are in there and your parents!
Monica: C'mon, you can't live off your parents your whole life.
Chandler: We are gonna be great parents.
Ross: All right, it's cool you can stay here. My parents won't mind.
Joshua: Uhh, Rachel, my parents
Phoebe: Okay, umm, if a kid gets straight As, his parents would say, "Yeah, he pulled a Monica." Y'know? Or a fireman saves a baby, and they go, "Yeah I know, he pulled a Monica." Or someone hits a homerun and the announcer says, "Yeah, that ones outta here." Though some things dont change.
Rachel: Oh, you're not gonna tell the whole story about how your parents got divorced again are you?
Monica: My parents spent the money for our wedding!
Monica: My parents will be so happy.
CHANDLER: [running out of his apartment after a girl] Ok, ok, you can be shirts and I'll be skins. I'll be skins. [sits down beside Rachel] Hey, how you holdin' up there, tiger? Oh, sorry, when my parents were getting divorced I got a lot of tigers. Got a lot of champs, chiefs, sports, I even got a governor.
Monica: That's because as far as my parents are concerned, Ross can do no wrong. Y'see, he's the Prince. Apparently they had some big ceremony before I was born.
[Scene: Joshuas parents apartment, Rachel and Joshua are entering.]
[Scene: Mike's parents house, the dining room. Mike, Phoebe, Mike's parents and the Angles are there.]
Phoebe: Yeah, so... They gotta die someday. (Mike's parents walk in) HELLO!
Big Nosed Rachel: Well, you know that my parents are out of town and Chip was going to come over
Monica: Where were your parents?
Monica: Oh no! My parents have never seen me drunk! (Pause) That they know of.
Chandler: I got a good one, I got a good one! I once walked in on both my parents making love to the same guy.
Monica: (out loud, to her parents) Mom! Dad! Ross smoked pot in college!
Rachel: Hello! (She makes a face and the kid laughs harder. Finally, his parents drag him off.) Ohh, kids love me.
Monica: Were supposed to meet my parents in 15 minutes.
[Chandler and Monica are by the window pressuring Ross to tell his parents the truth.]
Phoebe Sr.: Well, Im so sorry. I thought I was leaving you with the best parents in the world, I didnt even hear about your Mom and Dad til a couple of years ago, and by then you were already grown up. I dont know, youre here, and I would, I would really, I would like to get to know you.
[The Gellers stare at Ross. Ross looks at his parents with an afraid, shocked look.]
(Just then, his parents enter. Rachel gasps.)
Monica: It's this dumb thing that Ross made up `cause he was trying to fool our parents. It's a way of giving the finger, without actually having to give it. I remember I cried the night you made it up, `cause it was the first time that I realized that I was actually cooler than my older brother.
DR. BURKE: Only because my parents wanted me to be, I wanted to be a sherrif.
Chandler: If I turn into my parents, I'll either be an alcoholic blond chasing after twenty-year-old boys, or... I'll end up like my mom.
Monica: (not amused by Chandlers joke) I miss Rachel. (To Chandler) No, my parents.
[Scene: A Restaurant, Monica and Chandler are having dinner with her parents.]
Chandler: Yep, we're a couple and that's what couples do. And, I wanna meet your parents. We should take a trip with your parents!
Chandler: We just finished this magnificent Thanksgiving dinner. I have--and I remember this part vividly--a mouthful of pumpkin pie, and this is the moment my parents choose to tell me they're getting divorced.
Monica: Ok worse case scenario is...we borrow some money from my parents.
Ross: Eh..actually no, I don't need to because your little "Ross is dead" joke didn't work, ok, there were no responses. Nobody posted anything on the website, nobody called my parents, so the joke my friend is on you. Nobody called, nobody wrote anything, nobody cares that I'm dead. (silence) Oh my God! Nobody cares that I'm dead!?
Phoebe: Its mostly just dumb sister stuff, you know, I mean, like, everyone always thought of her as the pretty one, you know... Oh, oh, she was the first one to start walking, even though I did it... later that same day. But, to my parents, by then it was like "yeah, right, well what else is new?"
Chandler: I think you should go back with Gary. I dont wanna be the guy that breaks up a family, y'know when my parents split up, it was because of that guy. Whenever I would see him I was always think y'know Youre the reason, you are the reason why their not together. and I hated that guy. And it didnt matter how nice he was, or how happy he made my Dad.
Chandler: Your parents caught Ross smoking pot in college and he blamed it on me!
(Ross calls his parents on his cell phone.)
Joshua: Yeah, well, it wouldve been, but uh, my parents just moved here.
ROSS: [childishly] OK. OK, this is a picture frame from Ben to my parents, huh.
Mike: So...? What do you think? (looks at his parents, which look in disgust)
Chandler: Its your parents anniversary and youre going to talk about their dead pet?
Phoebe: Listen! You have to help me pick a dress 'cause I'm meeting Mike's parents tonight! (Rachel gasps)
Mike: No, my parents are rich.
Monica: Rosss parents are my parents!
Emily: My parents are going to be really mad.
Mike: Mom, dad, this is Phoebe. Phoebe, these are my parents: Theodore and Bitsy.
Phoebe: (no accent) I'm trying to get your parents to like me.
Joey: Well-wellsee? Parents are comin!
(Monica and her parents walk up.)
Ross: Oh, taking my parents back to the hotel.
Ross: Then you are neither of your parents!
Monica: Mrs. Bing? Here, these are my parents umm, Judy and Jack Geller.
[Scene: Mike's parents house again.]
Phoebe: (she turns around and puts the cat on the entertainment center) Ross, how many parents have you lost?
[Scene: Mike's parents house. Dining room again. Both Mike and Phoebe are not at the table, but the others still are.]
Monica: No, no its going to be great. Really! Mom, Dad, when I got married, one of the things that made me sure I could do it was the amazing example the two of you set for me. For that and so many other things I want to say thank you. I know I probably dont say it enough, but I love you. (Pretends to cry hoping her parents will join her.) When I look around this room, Im-Im saddened by the thought of those who could not be here with us. Nana, my beloved grandmother who would so want to be here, but she cant because shes dead. As is our dog Chi-Chi. I mean look how cute she is. (Holds up the picture and pretends to cry again). Was. (To an old man by the stage.) Do me a favor and pass this to my parents. Remember shes dead. Okay, her and Nana, gone. Wow! Hey does anybody remember when Debra Winger had to say goodbye to her children in Terms of Endearment? (Chandler covers his ears) Didnt see that? No movie fans?! You want to hear something sad? The other day I was watching 60 Minutes these orphans in Romania, who have been so neglected, they were incapable of love. (Waits for people to cry, but doesnt get any tears.) You people are made of stone! Heres to mom and dad! Whatever!
Phoebe: Yes! Yes you can, Im looking for Jacks parents.
Cassie: I guess the last time we really hung out was when our parents rented that beach house together.
Chandler: Well, no, although I did have an imaginary friend, who... my parents actually preferred.
Rachel: And so were-were you close to your parents?
[Scene: The Anniversary Party, Ross and Rachel are arriving and see his parents.]
Monica: You got a present for my parents. Thats so sweet.
[Time Lapse, the babies are finally asleep. Good for Phoebe! The only problem is, Monicas apartment looks like a tornado, a hurricane, a swarm of locusts, fire, brimstone, hail, and giant man-eating, radioactive ants have torn the place apart. Needless to say, its messy enough to cause Monica to die of shock right away. Parents with small children know what Im talking about.]
RACHEL: My parents happened. All they had to do was sit in the same stadium, smile proudly, and not talk about the divorce. But nooo, they got into a huge fight in the middle of the commencement address. Bishop Tutu actually had to stop and shush them. But you know what, you know what the good news is? I get to serve coffee for the next 8 hours.
Joey: Hey, so where are my parents gonna be?
Joey: Look Rach, my parents bought this fridge just after I was born, okay? Now, I have never had a problem with it. Then you show up and it breaks! What does that tell ya?
Ross: well.. its just. its just in that case, then um. Emma would go to my parents.
Judy: After all, my parents died very young.
Chandler: Kathys with her parents, I have nothing to do, so tomorrow we are partying with Gandolf dude!
Joey: (pretending to be an announcer) And the winner is Joey Tribbiani! (He then gets excited and goes over to the counter to practice his acceptance speech using a bottle of maple syrup as the award.) Oh Wow! I honestly never expected this. I uh, I didnt prepare a speech. But umm, Id like to thank (Rachel enters quietly) my parents, whove always been there for me. Id also like to thank my friends, Chandler, Monica, Phoebe, Rachel
Chandler: Yeah, it's like when you're a kid, and your parents put your dog to sleep, and they tell you it went off to live on some farm.
Ross: Okay, I think I might know why my parents dont like you.
Phoebe: I am one of Bens mothers. Im a lesbian. It was, it was difficult coming out to my parents.
(Finally, Monica with her parents on her arms start down the aisle.)
Joey: Hey, you're Mike's parents, right?
Monica: We're Aunt Monica and uncle Chandler, by the way. You may not recognize us, because we haven't spoken to your parents in seventeen years!
[Scene: Joey’s Apartment. Ross is filming his parents ]
Stranger: And it is annoying when parents put their baby on the phone...
Mackenzie: (sighs) I hate my parents.
Rachel: Uh. (pause) Did you call your parents?
Chandler: No-no all kids are embarrassed by their parents, youd have to come up with a whole new word for what I went through. When I was in High School, he used to come to all of my swim meets dressed as a different Hollywood starlet. Yknow its hard enough to be fourteen. Youre skinny. Youre wearing speedoesThat your mom promised that you would grow into! And you look up into the stands and theres your dad cheering you on dressed as Carmen Miranda. We was wearing a headdress with real fruit that he will later hand out to your friends as a healthy snack!
Monica: (excitedly) Oh my God, we're gonna be parents!
Mike: The woman I love... (he walks to Phoebe) I love you... Which is probably something I shouldn't say for the first time in front of my parents... and Tom and Sue...Who are by the way the most sinfully boring I've ever met in my life...
Chandler: I'd love to, but I gotta get back to talking to your parents. They're telling us all about how they adopted you.
Girl: I'm Mackenzie. My stupid parents are selling this house.
[Scene: Joeys Premiere, Rachel is already there with her date, Tommy who's played by Ben Stiller who will be in There's Something About Mary and Meet The Parents, as Ross and his date, Cailin, arrive.]
Ross: Yeah! Yeah, Emily always wanted to get married in this beautiful place that her parents got married, but its going to be torn down, so I mean, I-I know its crazy, but everything up til now has been so crazy, and I dont know, this just feels right. Yknow?
Roger: Well, I don't know. I mean, it's conceivable that you wanted to sabotage your marriage so that the sibling would feel less of a failure in the eyes of the parents.
Rachel: I just finished getting Phoebe all dressed to meet Mike's parents. She's so nervous, it's so sweet!
[Monica pushes Ben down the aisle in a stroller. Susan is escorted by both her parents. Carol is escorted by Ross.]
