Mrs. Geller: Oh, Martha Ludwin's daughter is gonna
call you. Mmm! What's that curry taste?
Monica: Curry.
Mrs. Geller: Mmmm!
Ross: I- I think they're great! I, I really do.
Mr. Geller: Do you remember the Ludwins? The big one had a thing for you, didn't she?
Mrs. Geller: They all had a thing for him.
Ross: Aw, Mom...
Monica: I'm sorry, why is this girl going to call me?
Mrs. Geller: Oh, she just graduated, and she wants to be something in
cooking, or food, or... I don't know. Anyway, I told her you had a restaurant.
Monica: No Mom, I don't have a restaurant, I work in a restaurant.
Mrs. Geller: Well, they don't have to know that.
Monica: Ross, could you come and help me with the spaghetti, please?
Ross: Yeah.
Mrs. Geller: Oh, we're having spaghetti! That's... easy.
Monica: I know this is going to sound unbelievably selfish on my part, but,
were you planning on bringing up the
whole baby, lesbian thing? Because I think it might take some of the heat offme.
Mrs. Geller: What that Rachel did to her life... We ran into her parents at
the club, they were not playing very well.
Mr. Geller: I'm not gonna tell you what they spent on that wedding... but
forty thousand dollars is a lot of money!
Mrs. Geller: Well, at least she had the chance to leave a man at the altar...
Monica: What's that supposed to mean?
Mrs. Geller: Nothing! It's an
expression.
Monica: No it's not.
Mr. Geller: Don't listen to your mother. You're independent, and you always
have been! Even when you were a kid... and you were chubby, and you had no
friends, you were just fine! And you would read alone in your room, and your
puzzles...
Mr. Geller: Look, there are people like Ross who need to
shoot for the stars, with his
museum, and his papers getting published. Other people are satisfied with
staying where they are - I'm telling you, these are the people who never get
cancer.
Mr. Geller: ...And I read about these women trying to have it all, and I
thank God "Our Little Harmonica" doesn't seem to have that problem.
Monica: So, Ross, what's going on with you? Any stories? No news, no little
anecdotes to share with the folks?
Ross: Okay! Okay. Look, I, uh... I realize you guys have been wondering what
exactly happened between Carol and me, and, so, well, here's the deal. Carol's a
lesbian. She's living with a woman named Susan. She's pregnant with my child,
and she and Susan are going to raise the baby.
Mrs. Geller: And you knew about this?!
