Monica: C'mon, you can't live off your parents your whole
life.
Rachel: I know that. That's why I was getting married.
Phoebe: Give her a break, it's
hard being on your own for the first time.
Rachel: Thank you.
Phoebe: You're welcome. I remember when I first came to this city. I was
fourteen. My mom had just killed herself and my step-dad was back in prison, and
I got here, and I didn't know anybody. And I ended up living with this albino
guy who was, like, cleaning windshields outside port authority, and then he
killed himself, and then I found aromatherapy. So believe me, I know exactly how
you feel.
Ross: The word you're looking for is 'Anyway'...
Monica: You ready?
Rachel: I don't think so.
Ross: C'mon, cut. Cut, cut, cut...
All: Cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut...
All: Cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut...
Monica: Welcome to the real world! It sucks. You're gonna love it!
Monica: Well, that's it. You gonna crash on the couch?
Ross: No. No, I gotta go home sometime.
Monica: You be okay?
Ross: Yeah.
Rachel: Hey Mon, look what I just found on the floor. What?
Monica: That's Paul's watch. You just put it back where you found it. Oh boy.
Alright. Goodnight, everybody.
Ross: Mmm. Oh, no...
Rachel: Sorry...
Ross: No no no, go...
Rachel: No, you have it, really, I don't want it...
Ross: Split it?
Rachel: Okay.
Ross: Okay. You know you probably didn't know this, but back in high school,
I had a, um, major crush on you.
Rachel: I knew.
Ross: You did! Oh... I always figured you just thought I was Monica's
geeky older brother.
Rachel: I did.
Ross: Oh. Listen, do you think... and try not to let my intense vulnerability
become any kind of a factor here... but do you think it would be okay if I
asked you out? Sometime? Maybe?
Rachel: Yeah, maybe...
Ross: Okay... okay, maybe I will...
Rachel: Goodnight.
Ross: Goodnight.
