words in movies
Rachel: Oh, you're not gonna tell the whole story about how your parents got divorced again are you?
Big Nosed Rachel: Well, you know that my parents are out of town and Chip was going to come over
Big Nosed Rachel: Okay, Monica, can you just call it sex?! It really creeps me out when you call it that! Okay, and by the way, while we're at it, a guy's thing is not called his tenderness. Believe me! (Walks into the living room and greets Monica's parents.) Hi!
Ross: All right, it's cool you can stay here. My parents won't mind.
(Upon hearing this, Monica starts to break down and storms out. Only to be stopped by her parents.)
Ross: Hey. (To his parents) Happy Thanksgiving!
Phoebe: Yes... I'm sorry, I've never met a boyfriends parents before...
Richard: And-and then I sneak out and before Monica can her parents come in.
Monica: Anyway, were really excited about our wedding plans, and well I guess pretty soon well be making a big withdrawal from the Monica wedding fund. (Chandler and her laugh, but her parents dont.) What?
ROSS: Yeah, that way I figure, ya know, we'll be far enough away from our parents that we don't have to see them all the time but close enough that they can come over and babysit whenever we want. And yes, I know, the taxes are a little higher than, let's say, Nassau county but the school system's supposedly great.
[the tape cuts to Monica's parents under the covers]
MONICA: Maybe we should just tell your parents first.
Chandler: For your information, I was staring at her baby. We're about to be parents.
PHOEBE: Ok, so I guess we don't invite her parents.
[Scene: Rehearsal dinner hall. Ross and Emily are standing in the reception area. Monica arrives with her parents.]
Monica: And Nancy said that it's really under price, because the guy lost his job and has to move in with his parents!
Phoebe: I mean, well, 'cause when I was growing up, you know my dad left, and my mother died, and my stepfather went to jail, so I barely had enough pieces of parents to make one whole one. And here's this little baby who has like three whole parents who care about it so much that they're fighting over who gets to love it the most. And it's not even born yet. It's just, it's just the luckiest baby in the whole world. (pause) I'm sorry, you were fighting.
Ross: Okay, remember, we were young. Hey, Spring break, sophomore year, I got high in my bedroom and my parents walked in and smelled it and so I told them that you had gotten stoned and jumped out the window.
Monica: (hugging Chandler) I dont think youll ever get my parents that drunk!
Mrs. Geller: What that Rachel did to her life.... We ran into her parents at the club, they were not playing very well.
Ross: No, no, it was just our parents and 1 or 2 friends. It was a small wedding.
(She goes down the hall. Joshua goes to put the food away when his parents walk in.)
Hayley: so it was kind of a shock after 25 years of marriage my parents, a perfect couple getting divorced, I kinda took it the hardest cause I was the youngest.
CAROL: My parents called this afternoon to say they weren't coming.
Rachel: (to them) Just a minute!!! (She takes the candy and opens the door to two parents, a witch, a clown, and a cowgirl.) Look at you guys! Wow! You are a very scary witch. (Gives her candy.)
MINDY: Well uh, after you ran out on your wedding, Barry's parents told people that you were sort of....insane.
Mackenzie: My parents say I'm gonna make new friends.
Joey: Well, Im sorry. I thought parents were coming! Yknow? Your parents are comin! Chandlers parents are comin! Rosss parents are comin!
[Ross gets up to go tell his parents.]
MONICA: Phoebe, he's a friend of my parents. He's like 20 years older than me.
Monica: I can't believe my parents are actually pressuring me to find one of you people.
Chandler: (going to the bedroom) See Joe, that's why your parents told you not to jump on the bed.
Rachel: Your parents?
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.
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: Oh! (Gets up) Lets see, well if this is the wedding hall then umm (Walks away) youre parents will be at home in Queens.
Joshua: Uhh, Rachel, my parents
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.
Chandler: We are gonna be great parents.
Monica: C'mon, you can't live off your parents your whole life.
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.
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.
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.]
Monica: My parents spent the money for our wedding!
Phoebe: Yeah, so... They gotta die someday. (Mike's parents walk in) HELLO!
[Scene: Mike's parents house, the dining room. Mike, Phoebe, Mike's parents and the Angles are there.]
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.
[Chandler and Monica are by the window pressuring Ross to tell his parents the truth.]
Ross: Yeah. Yeah. Yes, this place is beautiful. Emilys parents got married here.
Monica: Where were your parents?
[The Gellers stare at Ross. Ross looks at his parents with an afraid, shocked look.]
DR. BURKE: Only because my parents wanted me to be, I wanted to be a sherrif.
Monica: Were supposed to meet my parents in 15 minutes.
(Back in the chapel. The parents are still fighting over the bill. Ross is refereeing.)
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.
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.
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.
(Just then, his parents enter. Rachel gasps.)
[Scene: A Restaurant, Monica and Chandler are having dinner with her 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!?
Monica: (not amused by Chandlers joke) I miss Rachel. (To Chandler) No, my 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.
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.
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!
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?"
Monica: Ok worse case scenario is...we borrow some money from my parents.
(Ross calls his parents on his cell phone.)
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!
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.
Chandler: Its your parents anniversary and youre going to talk about their dead pet?
Joey: Well-wellsee? Parents are comin!
Mike: So...? What do you think? (looks at his parents, which look in disgust)
Monica: Rosss parents are my parents!
Phoebe: Listen! You have to help me pick a dress 'cause I'm meeting Mike's parents tonight! (Rachel gasps)
Emily: My parents are going to be really mad.
Ross: Then you are neither of your parents!
(Monica and her parents walk up.)
Ross: Oh, taking my parents back to the hotel.
Mike: No, my parents are rich.
Mike: Mom, dad, this is Phoebe. Phoebe, these are my parents: Theodore and Bitsy.
[Scene: Mike's parents house. Dining room again. Both Mike and Phoebe are not at the table, but the others still are.]
Phoebe: (no accent) I'm trying to get your parents to like me.
[Scene: Mike's parents house again.]
Monica: Mrs. Bing? Here, these are my parents umm, Judy and Jack Geller.
Phoebe: (she turns around and puts the cat on the entertainment center) Ross, how many parents have you lost?
Phoebe: Yes! Yes you can, Im looking for Jacks parents.
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!
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?
Chandler: Kathys with her parents, I have nothing to do, so tomorrow we are partying with Gandolf dude!
Monica: You got a present for my parents. Thats so sweet.
Joey: Hey, so where are my parents gonna be?
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.
