102 - The One With the Sonogram at the End - PART 03

[Scene, Monica and Rachel's,
Monica and Ross are pouring wine for their parents.]

Mrs. Geller: Oh, Martha Ludwin's daughter is gonna call you.
(Tastes a snack) Mmm! What's that curry taste?

Monica: Curry.

Mrs. Geller: Mmmm!

Ross: I- I think they're great! I, I really do.

Mr. Geller: (To Ross) Do you remember the Ludwins?
The big one had a thing for you, didn't she?

Mrs. Geller: They all had a thing for him.

Ross: Aw, Mom...

Monica: I'm sorry, why is this girl going to call me?

Mrs. Geller: Oh, she just graduated,
and she wants to be something in cooking, or food,
or.... I don't know.
Anyway, I told her you had a restaurant-

Monica: No Mom, I don't have a restaurant,
I work in a restaurant.

Mrs. Geller: Well, they don't have to know that...

(She starts to fluff the same pillow Monica fluffed
multiple times earlier.)

Monica: Ross, could you come and help me with the spaghetti,
please?

Ross: Yeah. (They go to the kitchen.)

Mrs. Geller: Oh, we're having spaghetti! That's.... easy.

Monica: I know this is going to sound unbelievably selfish,
but, were you planning on bringing up
the whole baby/lesbian thing?
Because I think it might take some of the heat off me.

[Time Lapse, everyone is now eating.]

Mrs. Geller: What that Rachel did to her life....
We ran into her parents at the club,
they were not playing very well.

Mr. Geller: I'm not gonna tell you what they spent
on that wedding... but forty thousand dollars
is a lot of money!

Mrs. Geller: Well, at least she had the chance
to leave a man at the altar...

Monica: What's that supposed to mean?

Mrs. Geller: Nothing! It's an expression.

Monica: No it's not.

Mr. Geller: Don't listen to your mother.
You're independent, and you always have been!
Even when you were a kid... and you were chubby,
and you had no friends, you were just fine!
And you would read alone in your room, and your puzzles...

[Time Lapse.]

Mr. Geller: Look, there are people like Ross
who need to shoot for the stars, with his museum,
and his papers getting published.
Other people are satisfied with staying
where they are- I'm telling you,
these are the people who never get cancer.

[Time Lapse.]

Mr. Geller: ...And I read about these women trying to have it
all, and I thank God. Our Little Harmonica'
doesn't seem to have that problem.

Monica: (trying desperately to change the subject)
So, Ross, what's going on with you? Any stories?
(Digs her elbow into his hand.)
No news, no little anecdotes to share with the folks?

Ross: (pulls his hand away) Okay! Okay.
(To his parents) Look, I, uh- I realise you guys
have been wondering what exactly happened between
Carol and me, and, so, well, here's the deal.
Carol's a lesbian. She's living with a woman named Susan.
She's pregnant with my child,
and she and Susan are going to raise the baby.

(Stunned silence ensues.)

Mrs. Geller: (To Monica) And you knew about this?!
