TOW The
Vacation Part I
[Monica and Chandler's- night] (Monica is sitting at the table talking to Ross)
Monica: So your love life is at a fall out for now, soon everything will be fine. Who is it exactly that is making you feel this way?
Ross: Well, Monica, I have had 3 failed marriages! I don't know what to do! I want to settle down and start a family! I-I-I'm tired of being alone.
Monica: Ok, who is it you want to start this family with though?
Ross: I have been feeling, y'know, really weird around Rachel lately.
Monica: Ross, I don't think you and her would work out.
Ross: Yea, but she said she still loved me after Emily had left me.
Monica: I know, Ross.
Ross: Yea, and yesterday, when she hugged me after she had gotten her raise, I uh, I didn't want to let go.
Monica: Yeah Ross, I think you've got it bad. But Ross...
Ross: (excitedly) Should I tell her how I feel?
Monica: Ross...
Ross: Okay, bye Mon!
(Ross exits)
Monica: She's seeing a guy Named Andy.
(OPENING CREDITS)
[Rachel and Joey's](Rachel is sitting on the counter reading a magazine as Ross bursts in)
Rachel: ROSS! What are you doing barging in at...(looks at the clock) 1 am?
Ross: I'm sorry, but I need to talk to you.
Rachel: What?
Ross: Okay, Do you still love me?
Rachel: Huh?
Ross: You said; after Emily left me that you still love me. Do you, Do you sill love me?
Rachel: Ross, I said that a long time ago! I wasn't thinking. You need to know that I will, for the rest of my life, be miserable with jealousy no matter whom you date. Remember Bonnie? I re-convinced her to shave her head so that...
Ross: (steps closer) Do-you-still-love-me?
Rachel: (her eyes almost fill with tears, but she controls herself.) No. Ross, I have a boyfriend and I love him. (She sounds as if trying to convince herself)
Ross: Okay, that was all I wanted to know. (Weak smile)
Rachel: Are you upset?
Ross: (lying) No, not at all. I just wanted to know.
Rachel: Ok, in that case I'm going to bed, but I'll see you tomorrow.
Ross: Bye.
(Ross leaves. Rachel Exhales as if trying to hide something. Her true feelings maybe? Hmmmmmm.....)
[Central Perk] (Whole gang is there, minus Phoebe)
Monica: So why do guys always do that?
Joey: See, women get all emotional after a break-up, they cry to their friends. It's a way of healing, if you will, so bars, to us, are places to go for us to pretend like we are ok.
Chandler: Was that all one big sentence?
Rachel: Or in my case, people get exceedingly depressed and indulge themselves in "stuff" that ends up ruining the relationship.
Ross: (Smiles, sarcastically that is) I know Rachel I totally agree! (Smile fades, then he says coldly:) I have to go. Bye guys, Rachel.
All: Bye, See ya, Later...etc.
(Pheobe enters, Ross harshly bumps into her)
Pheobe: OW! Bye to you too Ross! (Sits) Guess what!
All: Huh? Yea? What? What's up?
Pheobe: I won $20,000 with a lottery card!
All: Wow! Holy Cow! Etc.
Rachel: $20,000! Wow! What are you planning to do with it?
Pheobe: First I am going to take you all out to Dinner, and then we are all going on a vacation!
Monica: Hmmmm....
Pheobe: What?
Monica: Oh, nothing, I just figured that you would give it to the poor or something.
Pheobe: Yea right! Those losers chose their lives, not me!
Chandler: And now we know why Pheobe never won the Miss American Pageant!
Pheobe: Anyways, I didn't want to spend too much of the money right away, so I only bought 3 suits for our vacation. Here is where everyone will be sleeping: Monica and Chandler (hands then their suit receipt)
Chandler: Gross.
Monica: What???
Chandler: I love you, Honey.
Pheobe: Joey, you will be staying with me. (We look over at Joey who looks pleased) Hey you...
Joey: How you Doin'?
Chandler: Okay, Don't tell me Rachel and Ross will be in Suit number 3?
Pheobe: Yea, I don’t know about you, but I think Ross and Rachel should get back together again!
Rachel: Um, Guys, I'm still here!
Chandler: No, seriously, why aren't you two together?
Rachel: Well, Um, Ross and I are very, very, different people.
Monica: Rach, do you still love him?
COMMERCIAL BREAK
Monica: Rachel do you still love him?
Rachel: No!
Joey: Are you sure? Coz' he's always flirtin' with you.
Rachel: So he flirts a bit with me!
Pheobe: But you always flirt back!
Monica: Do you love him?
Rachel (angry, stands) NO! And what is this? Jeopardy has fewer questions for chissakes!! I have to go!
Monica: Wait! Rachel! The other night, Ross went to your apartment to talk to you didn't he?
Rachel: Yes. He was asking me if I loved him.
Monica: What did you say?
Rachel: NO!
Monica: that's why he has been so bizarre lately! Rachel, he was going to let you know that he still loves you, but you said no so he chickened out!
Rachel: Okay, I have had enough! I will see you all tomorrow!
(Rachel storms out)
Joey: (grabs her Muffin) Do you think she'll mind if I eat this?
Chandler: Look out Joey! She sees you have her 50-cent muffin! You're in for it now!
(Joey chucks the muffin at Phoebe)
Pheobe: OW!
Joey: Oh, you where joking. (He walks over and takes the muffin back.)
Pheobe: Well, I guess that I need you go tell Ross to get ready for our trip!
Monica: Hey Pheebs, where are we going?
Pheobe: Oh! The Atlantis Resort for 6 days.
Joey: Pheobe! It's a thousand dollars a night for those suits! You'll be paying $18,000 for all of us!
Pheobe: So?
Monica: Ok!
Chandler: (stunned) Did Joey just do all of that math in his head?
(They all stare at Joey who is now sniffing the muffin, and then he takes a oversize mouthful)
Joey: (with his mouthful and crumbs falling from his mouth) What?
[Ross' Apt.] (Ross is sitting on the couch, and Rachel enters)
Rachel: Hey Ross!
Ross: Hey.
Rachel: I hope you aren't mad at me for what I said at the coffee house. Are you?
Ross: No, I'm fine.
Rachel: Well, you'd better start packing.
Ross: Why?
Rachel: Pheobe won 20,000 dollars on a lottery ticket! She is sending us all on a trip!
Ross: When? Where?
Rachel: Well, on my way here I bumped into Monica who said the Atlantis Resort. Next week actually!
Ross: Oh, wow, I can't go.
Rachel: Oh Ross! Why?
Ross: Um, I can't get the time off work.
Rachel: Oh, that sucks. Yea, Pheobe only got three suits. She seperated who slept where and you and me would be sharing suit number three.
Ross: (convinced) I'll call my boss.
COMMERCIAL BREAK
[AIRPLANE] (Everyone is there waiting for the plane to take off. Joey is by Pheobe, Ross by Rachel, and Chandler by Monica in three rows)
Joey: I Love flying! I can’t wait to take off!
(The engine of the plane starts)
Rachel: (Grabs Ross’ hand) I hate flying!
Ross: (Caring) It’s all right. I promise nothing will happen.
(Rachel sort of lets out a whine as the plane gets airborne)
Ross: Rachel, trust me you’ll be fine (he kisses her hand) as long as I’m here.
Rachel: (realizing) Yea, maybe I will be, as long as you’re here.
(She smiles to herself as they all head to Atlantis. So does he. )
