[Scene: We're back to the present. Chandler and Monica's. They're all still at the kitchen table.]
Monica: Okay! (She takes her present for him and they move over to sit on the couch.)
Monica: You got a present for my parents. Thats so sweet.
Rachel: Chandler, thats not enough. I mean what if she gets you a great present, two medium presents, and a bunch of little presents? And youve just gotten her one great present? I mean thats just gonna make her feel bad. Why would you do that to her Chandler? Why? Why?
Monica: No! No-no! I love it! It is a great present! In fact, why dont you go home and wait for the thank you card?
Chandler: 'Cause, I wanted to uh, give you this. (hands her a present)
Monica: You-you gotta take it now. Come on, do it as a present to me.
Ross: (handing Mona the present) Happy Valentines Day! Or something to remember me by.
Phoebe: Hey! I got you a present!!
Chandler: Nobody is opening anything ok? Look, I dont know about you guys, but I wanna see the look on Monicas face when I give her my present, and Im sure she wants to see the look on my face when I get mine. So please, please, can we just, can we put them back?
Monica: (entering from her bedroom carrying a present) Ok, these were unbelievably expensive, and I know he's gonna grow out of them in like, 20 minutes, but I couldn't resist. (There a little pair of Nike shoes.)
Chandler: Before we go out there Ive got a present for ya.
Phoebe: Oo! Is it for my birthday present?
Rachel: Everybody? Shh, shhh. Uhhh... Central Perk is proud to present the music of Miss Phoebe Buffay.
Monica: Hey, great skirt! Birthday present?
Monica: So dont think of it as a bachelor party, think of it as a a two month anniversary present.
Chandler: Okay, all right. I just spent the entire afternoon looking for a present for Kathy that would be better than the rabbit.
Joey: Oh, hey listen! The Soapies called today and I also get to present an award.
Chandler: No, I have a great idea for a present for her.
Monica: No! (Pause) But, theyre callin out to me! I mean this little guy (Holds up a small one) even crawled up into my lap. Oh come on, Chandler wouldnt mind if I opened just one present! What do you think it is?
Monica: I love the "I forgot the present" fake out!
Chandler: If you wanna give Joey a Christmas present that disrupts the entire building, why not get him something a little bit more subtle, like a wrecking ball, or a vile of small pox to release in the hallway?
Rachel: (Into microphone) Central Perk is proud to present Miss Phoebe Buffay.
Chandler: How do you feel about the, "I really did forgot the present, please forgive me" not fake out?
Gavin: Well, let me explain how birthday parties usually work. There are presents, and a cake, perhaps a fourth or fifth person. Ok, I ... got you the present to make up for being such a jerk to you earlier.
Present Day
Ross: (To Rachel) Hey are you getting Monica and Chandler an engagement present?
Rachel: Oh, oh. (she's holding the present, a transparent bag with a white stick in it). What is this?
Present Day
Present Day
[Cut back to the present.]
Allesandro: Im so excited about having Monica come on board with us. Although I do feel bad about having fired chef Emillio, its like losing a member of the family. Of course, that literally is the case for several of you. Tony, Carlos, Marie, please, tell your father how much were gonna miss him. Now, I know that Monica has a lot of great ideas for this place, well, you all read the review. So without much further ado, I present to you our new head chef.

Joey: Oh, hey, hey, can I give you guys your house-warming present now?
Rachel: You know Pheebs, when I was little, on my birthday, my daddy would hide a present in every room of the house, and then he would draw a treasure map to help me find 'em all.
Monica: (To Chandler) You are going to make a joke about my special present! Why would you do that?!
Monica: Whew. Although yknow, this is part of a salt and pepper set. I mean I guess yknow it may just count as a half a present. What do you think?

[Scene: We cut back to the present. The reunion where Chandler and Ross are talking.]
Joey: Um, my present!
Ross: (voiceover) So when she came in, I got distracted and totally forgot about the camera. [Cut back to the present day.] It kept rolling and recorded everything.
Present Chandler's voice: Remember that big party? Freshman year? A week before Christmas vacation? I do. You had some visitors.
Joey: (sadly) There will come a time in each of your careers when youll have a chance to screw over another soap opera actor. I had such an opportunity in the recent, present. And Im ashamed to say that I took it, I advised a fellow actor to play a role, homosexually. Yeah, we both auditioned for the part, and uh, as it turned out, they ah, they liked the stupid gay thing and cast him. And now, hes got a two year contract opposite Susan Luchhi, the first lady of daytime television, and me, me Im stuck here teaching a bunch of people, most of whom are too ugly to even be on TV. Im sorry, Im sorry, Im sorry. (he gets a huge round of applause from his students.) Thank you.
Rachel: (as Ross enters with a present) But, but, Mona, I live here.
Flight Attendant: It's from Rachel. She said that she loved the present, and she will see you when you get back.

Monica: (throwing up the last present) I dont know how any of these got opened?!
