102 The One With the Sonogram at the End
[Scene Central Perk, everyone's there.]
Monica: What you guys don't understand is, for us, kissing isas important as any part of it.
Joey: Yeah, right!.......Y'serious?
Phoebe: Oh, yeah!
Rachel: Everything you need to know is in that first kiss.
Monica: Absolutely.
Chandler: Yeah, I think for us, kissing is pretty much like anopening act, y'know? I mean it's like the stand-up comedian you have to sitthrough before Pink Floyd comes out.
Ross: Yeah, and-and it's not that we don't like thecomedian, it's that-that... that's not why we bought the ticket.
Chandler: The problem is, though, after the concert's over, nomatter how great the show was, you girls are always looking for the comedianagain, y'know? I mean, we're in the car, we're fighting traffic... basicallyjust trying to stay awake.
Rachel: Yeah, well, word of advice: Bring back the comedian.Otherwise next time you're gonna find yourself sitting at home, listening tothat album alone.
Joey: (pause)....Are we still talking about sex?

Carol: I'm pregnant.
Ross: Pregnant?!
[Scene: Monica and Rachel's, Chandler, Joey, Phoebe,and Monica are watching Three's Company.]
Chandler: Oh, I think this is the episode of Three's Companywhere there's some kind of misunderstanding.
Phoebe:...Then I've already seen this one! (Turns off theTV.)
Monica: (taking a drink from Joey) Are you through with that?
Joey: Yeah, sorry, the swallowing slowed me down.
Monica: Whose little ball of paper is this?!
Chandler: Oh, uh, that would be mine. See, I wrote a note tomyself, and then I realised I didn't need it, so I balled it up and... (seesthat Monica is glaring at him) ...now I wish I was dead.
(Monica starts to fluff a pillow.)
Phoebe: She's already fluffed that pillow... Monica, youknow, you've already fluffed that- (Monica glares at her.) -but, it's fine!
Monica: Look , I'm sorry, guys, I just don't wanna give themany more ammunition than they already have.
Chandler: Yes, and we all know how cruel a parent can be aboutthe flatness of a child's pillow.
Phoebe: Monica- Hi! Um, Monica, you're scaring me. I mean,you're like, you're like all chaotic and twirly. And not-not in a good way.
Joey: Yeah, calm down. You don't see Ross getting allchaotic and twirly every time they come.
Monica: That's because as far as my parents are concerned,Ross can do no wrong. Y'see, he's the Prince. Apparently they had some bigceremony before I was born.
Chandler: (looking out the window) Ew, ew, ew, ew ew ew ew ew!
Monica: What?
Chandler: Ugly Naked Guy got a Thighmaster!
All: Eeaagh!
(Rachel enters from her room.)
Rachel: Has anybody seen my engagement ring?
Phoebe: Yeah, it's beautiful.
Rachel: Oh God, oh God, oh God oh God oh God oh God....(Starts to look under the couch cushions.)
Phoebe: No, look, don't touch that!
Rachel: Oh, like I wasn't dreading tomorrow enough, having togive it back to him... 'Hi Barry! Remember me? I'm the girl in the veil whostomped on your heart in front of your entire family!' Oh God and now I'm gonnahave to return the ring, without the ring, which makes it so much harder...
Monica: Easy Rach, we'll find it. (To all) Won't we!
Chandler and Joey: Oh! Yeah!
Joey: Alright, when'd'ya have it on last?
Phoebe: Doy! Probably right before she lost it!
Chandler: You don't get a lot of 'doy' these days...
Rachel: I know I had it this morning, and I know I had itwhen I was in the kitchen with...
Chandler: ...Dinah?
Rachel: (looks at the lasagne and realizes something) Ohhhhh,don't be mad...
Monica: You didn't.
Rachel: Oh, I am sorry...
Monica: I gave you one job! (Starts to examin the lasagnethrough the bottom of the glass pan.)
Rachel: Oh, but look how straight those noodles are!
Chandler: Now, Monica, you know that's not how you look for anengagement ring in a lasagne...
Monica: (puts down the lasagne) I just... can't do it.
Chandler: Boys? We're going in.
(Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe start to pick through thelasagne as there's a knock on the door which Monica answers.)
Ross: (standing outside the door).....Hi.
Monica: Wow. That is not a happy hi.
Ross: Carol's pregnant.
Phoebe: (while everyone else is stunned) Ooh! I found it!
Monica: W-w-wh-... wha-... w-w-w-...
Ross: Yeah. Do that for another two hours, you might bewhere I am right about now. (He enters.)
Chandler: Kinda puts that whole pillow thing in perspective,huh, Mon?
Rachel: Well now, how-how do you fit into this whole thing?
Ross: Well, Carol says she and Susan want me to beinvolved, but if I'm not comfortable with it, I don't have to be involved..basically it's entirely up to me.
Phoebe: She is so great! I miss her.
Monica: What does she mean by 'involved'?
Chandler: I mean presumably, the biggest part of your job isdone.
Ross: Anyway, they want me to go down to this- sonogramthing with them tomorrow.
Rachel: So what are you gonna do?
Ross: I have no idea. No matter what I do, though, I'mstill gonna be a father.
(Joey starts to eat the rest of the lasagne andeveryone turns and stares at him.)
Joey: .....Well, this is still ruined, right?
[Scene, Monica and Rachel's, Monica and Ross arepouring wine for their parents.]
Mrs. Geller: Oh, Martha Ludwin's daughter is gonna call you.(Tastes a snack) Mmm! What's that curry taste?
Monica: Curry.
Mrs. Geller: Mmmm!
Ross: I- I think they're great! I, I really do.
Mr. Geller: (To Ross) Do you remember the Ludwins? The big onehad 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 somethingin cooking, or food, or.... I don't know. Anyway, I told her you had arestaurant-
Monica: No Mom, I don't have a restaurant, I work in arestaurant.
Mrs. Geller: Well, they don't have to know that... (She starts tofluff the same pillow Monica fluffed multiple times earlier.)
Monica: Ross, could you come and help me with the spaghetti,please?
Ross: Yeah. (They go to the kitchen.)
Mrs. Geller: Oh, we're having spaghetti! That's.... easy.
Monica: I know this is going to sound unbelievably selfish,but, were you planning on bringing up the whole baby/lesbian thing? Because Ithink it might take some of the heat off me.
[Time Lapse, everyone is now eating.]
Mrs. Geller: What that Rachel did to her life.... We ran into herparents at the club, they were not playing very well.
Mr. Geller: I'm not gonna tell you what they spent on thatwedding... but forty thousand dollars is a lot of money!
Mrs. Geller: Well, at least she had the chance to leave a man atthe 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, andyou always have been! Even when you were a kid... and you were chubby, and youhad no friends, you were just fine! And you would read alone in your room, andyour puzzles...
[Time Lapse.]
Mr. Geller: Look, there are people like Ross who need to shootfor the stars, with his museum, and his papers getting published. Other peopleare satisfied with staying where they are- I'm telling you, these are thepeople who never get cancer.
[Time Lapse.]
Mr. Geller: ...And I read about these women trying to have itall, and I thank God 'Our Little Harmonica' doesn't seem to have that problem.
Monica: (trying desperately to change the subject) So, Ross,what's going on with you? Any stories? (Digs her elbow into his hand.) No news,no little anecdotes to share with the folks?
Ross: (pulls his hand away) Okay! Okay. (To his parents)Look, I, uh- I realise you guys have been wondering what exactly happenedbetween Carol and me, and, so, well, here's the deal. Carol's a lesbian. She'sliving with a woman named Susan. She's pregnant with my child, and she andSusan are going to raise the baby.
(Stunned silence ensues.)
Mrs. Geller: (To Monica) And you knew about this?!
Commercial Break
[Scene: Central Park, everyone's there.]

Ross: Well, y'know, these people are pros. They know whatthey're doing, they take their time, they get the job done.
Monica: Boy, I know they say you can't change yourparents,... boy, if you could- (To Ross) -I'd want yours.
Ross: Must pee. (Goes to pee.)
Phoebe: Y'know, it's even worse when you're twins.
Rachel: You're twins?
Phoebe: Yeah. We don't speak. She's like this high-powered,driven career type.
Chandler: What does she do?
Phoebe: She's a waitress.
Rachel: All right, you guys, I kinda gotta clean up now.(They all start to leave.)
Monica: Chandler, you're an only child, right? You don't haveany of this.

Ross: Well, you may wanna steer clear of the word 'dumped'.Chances are he's gonna be this, this broken shell of a man, y'know, so youshould try not to look too terrific, I know it'll be hard. Or, y'know, uh,hey!, I'll go down there, and I'll give Barry back his ring, and you can gowith Carol and Susan to the OB/GYN...
Rachel: Oh, you've got Carol tomorrow.. When did it get socomplicated?
