201 The One With Ross' New Girlfriend -part 1

[Scene: Central Perk, Phoebe is recapping last season,
and as she talks we see a montague of scenes from Ross and Rachel.]

PHOEBE: Ok, so this is pretty much what's happened so far.
Ross was in love with Rachel since, you know, forever,
but every time he tried to tell her,
something kind of got in the way, like cats, and Italian guys.
Finally Chandler was like "forget about her"
but when Ross was in China on his dig,
Chandler let it slip that Ross was in love with Rachel.
She was like, "Oh my god." So she went to the airport
to meet him when he came back, but what she didn't know was,
that Ross was getting off the plane with another woman.
Uh-Oh! So, that's pretty much everything you need to know.
But, enough about us. So, how've you been?

OPENING CREDITS

[Scene, The Airport, continued from last season,
Rachel is waiting for Ross to come of the plane,
when she sees he's coming off with another woman.]

RACHEL: Oh my god. Oh my god. (She decides to make a break for it.)
Excuse me. Move! Move! Emergency! Excuse me!
(She tries climbing over a bench and falls down.)

ROSS: Rache!

RACHEL: Oh, there you are! Hi! Oh, so, so, how was China, you?
(Hits him with the flowers.)

ROSS: It was, it was great. Oh, what happened?

RACHEL: What?

ROSS: You're bleeding.

RACHEL: I am? Oh, look at that, yes I am.
Enough about me, enough about me, Mr. Back from the Orient.
I wanna hear everything! (Looks at Julie)

ROSS: Well, where do I start? This is Julie. Julie, this is Rachel.

RACHEL: These are, these aren't for you. (to Julie) These are for you.
(Loudly, thinking she can't speak English.) Welcome to our country.

JULIE: (Loudly, proving she can speak English.) Thank you.
I'm from New York.

RACHEL: Ok, well, not a problem. We'll just use them to stop the bleeding.
Ok. Baggage claim? Ok.

[Scene: Monica and Rachel's, the gang is waiting for Rachel
to return from the airport with Ross.]

CHANDLER: No way!

MONICA: I'm telling you, she went to the airport,
and she's gonna go for it with Ross!

PHOEBE: Oh my god. This is huge. This is bigger than huge.
This is like, all right, what's bigger than huge?

JOEY: Um, this?

PHOEBE: Yes.

MONICA: Guys, you got your hair cut.

CHANDLER: Yes, yes, we did, thanks to Vidal Buffay.

PHOEBE: 'Cause, you know, (in that voice) if you don't look good,
we don't look good. I love that voice.

RACHEL: (entering, out of breath) Airport, airport.
Ross, not alone, Julie, arm around her. Cramp, cramp.

CHANDLER: Ok, I think she's trying to tell us something.
Quick, get the verbs.

RACHEL: (to Chandler) You, you, you said he liked me.
(Ross and Julie enter) You, you slowpokes!

ROSS: That's all right, Rache, we got the bags.
Hi, hello. Julie, this is my sister Monica. This is Chandler.
Phoebe. Joey, what up?

JOEY: What up?!

ROSS: Everyone, this is Julie.

RACHEL: (out of breath) Julie.

ALL: Ohh. (Happily) Hi!

JULIE: Hi, but I'm not here, you haven't met me.
I'll make a much better first impression tomorrow
when I don't have 20 hours of cab and plane on me.

ROSS: And bus.

JULIE: Oh my god.

ROSS: The screaming guy?

JULIE: And the spitting?

ROSS: You gotta hear this story.

JULIE: We're on this bus, that's easily 200 years old...

ROSS: At least.

JULIE: ...and this guy--

RACHEL: And the chicken poops in her lap. Oh, I'm so sorry.
I just gave away the ending, didn't I?
Oh! It's just, I just heard this story in the cab,
and it is all I can think about.

MONICA: This is amazing. I mean, how, how did this happen?

JULIE: Well, Ross and I were in grad school together.

ROSS: But we haven't seen each other since then.
Well I land in China, guess who's in charge of the dig.

RACHEL: Julie! Julie, isn't that great?
I mean, isn't that just kick-you-in-the-crotch,
spit-on-your-neck fantastic?

MONICA: It's an expression.

ROSS: Well, we just wanted to say a quick hi,
and then we're gonna go see the baby.

JULIE: And then we've gotta get some sleep.

ROSS: Yeah, it's really 6:00 tomorrow night our time.

CHANDLER: Well, listen, don't tell us what's gonna happen though,
'cause I like to be surprised.

(Ross and Julie exit)

RACHEL: Bye. (She closes the door and everyone tries to sympathize with her.)
