| Monica: Okay, I'm done, read mine. Phoebe: Okay. Oo, I see a ladder, which can either mean a promotion or a violent death. Monica: I'm the head chef, I can't get promoted. Phoebe: Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Who's next? Joey: When you said it was a problem about your boss and the baby, I figured it was something about maternity leave. Rachel: Oh, yeah. Yeah. That would have been a much simpler problem. "My boss wants to buy my baby!"-Rachel Phoebe: You're coming on a little strong, but I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt, because it seems the universe really wants us to be together. So why don't we just start over, okay? You can just tell me about yourself. Jim: All right. I write erotic novels...for children. Phoebe: What? Jim: They're wildly popular. Phoebe: Oh my God! Jim: Oh, also, you might be interested to know I have a Ph.D Phoebe: Wow, you do? Jim: Yeah, a pretty huge.... Phoebe: (walking out) All right. Mr.Zellner: I've asked Lee from Human Resources to be here as a witness to our conversation. Rachel: Oh god. Mr.Zellner: If I, in any way, implied that I wanted to buy your baby, I am sorry. Last week, when I asked you when your due date was, I certainly did not mean that I felt that I was due your baby. Yeah, I want to be very clear that I understand it's your baby and that it's not mine to purchase. Rachel: Well, as long as we're clear about that. Joey: So, what happened? Rachel: It's all going to be okay. They're just so happy that I'm not suing them, that they gave me one extra month paid maternity leave. So as long as I understand that the money should not be construed as a down payment on this or any other child that I may bear. "Hello? No rejection? I got shot down at fat camp! Boy, kids are mean when they're hungry"-Monica Monica: Okay. No need to panic. Deep breathes everyone. Okay umm uh, we're just gonna have to spend some time and put the CDs in the right cases. Chandler: Well, if we're gonna do that we should come up with some kind of order. Y'know by alphabetically or genre? Monica: Hmmm, I don't know. We really have to talk this through. "My gynecologist tried to kill me!"-Rachel "Pheebs, did you see that? He totally checked you out and he's so cute. [looks at his tea leaves] Mine had a picture of the village people. What does that mean?"-Phoebe |
