105 The One With the East German Laundry Detergent- PART 04

[Scene: The Launderama, Rachel is there, waiting for Ross.
An old woman takes Rachel's clothes off the machine
and begins loading it with her things.]

Woman: Comin' through. Move, move.

Rachel: Oh, 'scuse me. I was kinda using that machine.

Woman: Yeah, well, now you're kinda not.

Rachel: But I saved it. I put my basket on top.

Woman: Oh, I'm sorry, is that your basket? It's really pretty.
Unfortunately, I don't see suds.

Rachel: What?

Woman: No suds, no save. Ok?

(Ross arrives.)

Ross: What's goin' on?

Rachel: Hi, uh, nothing. That horrible woman just took my machine.

Ross: Was your basket on top?

Rachel: Yeah, but, there were no suds.

Ross: So?

Rachel: Well, you know, no suds, no save.

Ross: No suds? Excuse me, hold on a second.
(to woman) That's my friend's machine.

Woman: Hey, hey, hey, her stuff wasn't in it.

Ross: Hey, hey, hey, that's not the rule and you know it.

(The woman and Ross stare at each other.
Finally she takes her stuff out of the machine and leaves.)

Ross: (to the crowd in the laundromat) All right, show's over.
Nothing to see here. (to Rachel) Ok, let's do laundry.

Rachel: That was amazing. I can't even send back soup.

Ross: Well, that's because you're such a sweet, gentle, uh...
Do you, uh, do you...Oh, hey, uh you must need detergent.

(Ross pulls out a huge box of laundry detergent.)

Rachel: What's that?

Ross: Uberveiss. It's new, it's German, it's extra-tough.

(Rachel starts to load her clothes.)

Ross: Rach, do you uh, are you gonna separate those?

Rachel: Oh god. Oh, am I being like a total laundry spaz?
I mean, am I supposed to use like one machine for shirts
and another machine for pants?

Ross: Rach, have you never done this before?

Rachel: Well, not myself, but I know other people that have.
Ok, you caught me. I'm a laundry virgin.

Ross: Uh, well, don't worry, I'll use the gentle cycle.
Ok, um, basically you wanna use one machine for all your whites,
a whole nother machine for colors,
and a third for your uh, your uh, delicates,
and that would be your bras and your under-panty things.

Rachel: (holds a pair of panties in front of Ross)
Ok, Well, what about these are white cotton panties.
Would they go with whites or delicates?

Ross: (visibly nervous) Uh, that, that, that would be a judgment call.
