[Scene: Monica and Rachel's, continued from earlier.]
Rachel: I mean, this is unbelievable.
Phoebe: I know. This is really, really huge.
Chandler: No it's not. It's small. It's tiny. It's petite. It's wee.
Phoebe: Nuh-uh. I don't think any of our lives
are ever gonna be the same ever again.
Chandler: OK, is there a mute button on this woman?
Monica: I think this is so great! I mean, you and Ross!
D-did you have any idea?
Rachel: No! None! I mean, my first night in the city,
he mentioned something about asking me out,
but nothing ever happened, so I just...
(to Joey): W-well, what else did he say?
I mean, does he, like, want to go out with me?
Joey: Well, given that he's desperately in love with you,
he probably wouldn't mind getting a cup of coffee or something.
Rachel: Ross? All this time? Well, I've got to talk to him.
(gets up to leave)
Chandler: (quickly) H-He's in China!
Joey: The country.
Monica: No, no, wait. (checks Ross's itinerary)
His flight doesn't leave for another forty-five more minutes.
Chandler: What about the time difference?
Monica: From here to the airport?
Chandler: Yes! (Rachel walks towards door) You're never gonna make it!
Monica: Rachel, what're you gonna say to him?
Rachel: I-I-I don't know.
Chandler: Well then maybe you shouldn't go.
Joey: He's right, cause if you're just gonna, like,
break his heart, that's the kind of thing that can wait.
Monica: Yeah, but if it's good news, you should tell him now.
Rachel: I don't know. Maybe I'll know when I see him.
Phoebe: Here, look, alright, does this help?
(Phoebe gets up, holds the picture of Ross up to her face.)
Rachel: Noooo... look, all I know is that
I cannot wait a week until I see him.
I mean, this is just too big.
Y'know, I just, I've just gotta talk to him.
I... I gotta... OK, I'll see you later. (opens door)
Chandler: Rachel, I love you! Deal with me first!
(she leaves)
[Scene: Airport, Ross has headphones on, and is listening to a
'How To Speak Chinese' tape. Occasionally, he makes an outburst in Chinese
in accordance with the tape. He is getting on the jetway.
The flight attendant is there.]
Ross: (something in Chinese)
Flight Attendant: Alright!
Ross: Ni-chou chi-ma! (walks onto jetway)
(Rachel runs into the airport, trying to catch Ross,
moving people out of the way.)
Rachel: Ross! Excuse me, pardon me, excuse me....
(Rachel gets up to the jetway.)
Flight Attendant: Hi!
Rachel: Hi.
Flight Attendant: May I see your boarding pass?
Rachel: Oh, no, no, I don't have one. I just need to talk to my friend.
Flight Attendant: Oh, oooh. I'm sorry.
You are not allowed on the jetway
unless you have a boarding pass.
Rachel: No, I know, but I¡Xhe just went on.
He's right there, he's got the blue jacket on,
I... can I j-just...
Flight Attendant: No no no! Federal regulations!
Rachel: OK, alright, OK, um... then could you please, uh...
just give him a message for me? Please? This is very important.
Flight Attendant: Alright. What's the message?
Rachel: Uh... I don't know.
[Cut to the Jetway, the flight attendant enters,
walks past Ross, and approaches an older man with his wife
who is also wearing a blue jacket.]
Flight Attendant: Sir? Sir? Excuse me, sir?
Uh... I have a message for you.
Man: (confused) What?
Flight Attendant: It's from Rachel.
She said that she loved the present,
and she will see you when you get back.
Man: (to wife): Toby... Oh, for God's sake,
I don't know what she's talking about!
There's no Rachel! Don't give me that deep freeze.
[Scene: Joey's Bedroom, he and Melanie are in bed together.]
Melanie: Mmmmmm... Oh, Joey, Joey, Joey...
I think I blacked out there for a minute!
Joey: Heh, heh. It was nothin'.
Melanie: Well, now we've gotta find something fun for you!
(she starts kissing his chest)
Joey: (panicked) Uhhh.. y'know what? Forget about me.
Let's, uh... let's give you another turn.
Melanie: (surprised) M-Me again?
Joey: Sure! Why not?
Melanie: Boy, somebody's gonna get a big fruit basket tomorrow.
(Joey starts to kiss her.)
Melanie: Oooh, I gotta tell you...
you are nothing like I thought you would be.
Joey: How do you mean?
Melanie: I don't know, I-I guess I just had you pegged
as one of those guys who're always 'me, me, me.'
But you... you're a giver.
You're like the most generous man I ever met.
I mean... you're practically a woman.
[Scene: Monica and Rachel's, Monica, Phoebe, and Rachel are there.
Monica is holding the wrapping paper from one of Rachel's gifts.]
Monica: Uh, so, uh, Rach, uh... do you wanna save this wrapping paper,
I mean, it's only a little bit torn...
so are you gonna go for it with Ross or should I just throw it out?
Rachel: I don't know. I don't know...
I thought about it all the way there,
and I thought about it all the way back...
and, uh, oh, you guys, y'know, it's Ross.
Y'know what I mean? I mean, it's Ross.
Monica and Phoebe: Sure.
Rachel: I don't know, I mean, this is just my initial gut feeling...
but I'm thinking... oh, I'm thinking it'd be really great.
Monica: Oh my God, me too! Oh! Oh, we'd be like friends-in-law!
Y'know what the best part is?
The best part is that you already know everything about him!
I mean, it's like starting on the fifteenth date!
Phoebe: Yeah, but, y'know, it's...
it would be like starting on the fifteenth date.
Monica: Another good point.
Phoebe: No, I mean, I mean, when you're at the fifteenth date,
y'know, you're already in a very relationshippy place.
Y'know, it's... you're committed.
Rachel: (confused) Huh?
Phoebe: Well, I mean, then what happens if it doesn't work out?
Monica: Why isn't it working out?
Rachel: I don't know... sometimes it doesn't.
Monica: Is he not cute enough for you?
Rachel: No!
Monica: Does he not make enough money?
Rachel: No, I'm just....
Phoebe: Maybe there's someone else.
Rachel: Wha...
Monica: Is there? Is there someone else?
Rachel: No! There is.. there is noone else!
Monica: Then why the hell are you dumping my brother?!?
