words in movies
Ross: The guy who took Rachel to the prom? Why is he calling you?
Monica: What, that little thing at the prom?
[Scene: Monica and Rachel's, the gang is watching the Prom Video and Rachel is about to make her entrance on the video. The italics are portions of the prom video.]
Rachel: Alright. In high school I was the prom queen and I was the homecoming queen and the class president and you... were also there! But if you take this monkey, I will lose one of the most important people in my life. You can hate me if you want, but please do not punish him. C'mon, Luisa, you have a chance to be the bigger person here! Take it!
[Joey just laughs as a third set of flashbacks featuring Chandlers mistakes starts. The first flashback is from The One With The Prom Video. It's Chandler telling Phoebe how much he hates the bracelet Joey bought him. They're both at Central Perk.]
Luisa: Sorry, prom queen.
Phoebe: Hey, that’s not fair! A person’s wedding is important! And especially to me! Ok? I didn’t have a graduation party! And I didn’t go to Prom. And I spent my sweet sixteen being chased round a tire yard by an escaped mental patient who is his own words wanted to “kill me” or whatever. So I deserve a real celebration and I am not gonna let some sweaty little man make me feel badly about it.( She storms out)
CHANDLER: Whoa, whoa, prom night flashback.
Monica: I'll get it! (She runs in, and she's her old fat self like The One With The Prom Video. Not only that, she's out of breath after running a short distance. She goes over and opens the door to reveal Rachel with her old nose.) Happy Thanksgiving!
RACHEL: I can't go to my own prom without a date, I can't, it's too late.
NOTE: For this episode, I'm using italics to signify portions contained in the prom video.
Paul: So Ross was in college and decided to jump at the chance to take a young girl to her high school prom.
Rachel: I can't go to my own prom without a date, I can't, it's too late.
MRS. GELLER: [to Ross on the stairs] I have a wonderful idea. You should take Rachel to the prom.
RACHEL: I can't believe I don't get to go to my own prom, this is so harsh.
Rachel: So it seemed that my prom date had stood me up, so Ross selflessly, offered to take me.
[cut to another clip, this one is from The One With The Prom Video]
[They gang all lean back to listen better, and this starts another series of flashbacks. The first one is from Episode 214: The One With The Prom Video, Rachel has just found the bracelet that Joey gave Chandler, which is after he bought one to replace it.]
Monica: You know what this is, this is us getting ready for the prom.
Mrs. Geller: (to Ross on the stairs) I have a wonderful idea. You should take Rachel to the prom.
[The next flashback is from The One With The Prom Video. Monica is at a job interview at a new restaurant.]
MONICA: You know what this is, this is us getting ready for the prom.
