Tabitha:She actually said that?.

Chandler;Yes.Am I crazy to be this upset?.

Joey:No.

Tabitha:Being funny is your thing.

Chandler:Yeah.

Joey:Without that you just got lame with women.

Chandler:Ye-

   Chandler stops because he realises what Joey just said and stares at him and Monica enters.

Monica:Hi.There you are.

Joey:Fire trucks.

  Chandlers eyes double in size and he turns to Monica who doesn't understand what's happening.Then he turns back to Joey who mouths you're welcome.

*Time Lapse*


   At Monica and Chandler's apartment.Monica is in the kitchen as I'm watching Eliana and Ricky play and Ross enters.

Ross:Did Rachel tell you we hired a male nanny?.

Monica:Yeah.I think that's great.

Ross:Oh really?.Did she tell you he plays the recorder,recites poetry and bakes Madeleines?.

Tabitha:Oh...How are they?.


Ross:"Happily".Lighter than air..."Seriously".But that's not the point.

Joey::"Enters".Hey.

Ross:Hey...Rachel and I hired a male nanny.

Joey:"Surprised".Really?.Guys do that?.That's...weird.

Ross:Thank you!.

Joey:That's like a woman wanting to be a...

Ross:A what?,A what?.What's the end of that sentence?.

Tabitha:Yes JoJo.What is the end of that sentence?.


Joey:Uhm...A penis model.

   I try not to laugh at Joey saying that and Ross pats Joey on the back.

Joey:Anyway hey...Did you tell Chandler that some guy from work is the funniest guy you've ever met?.

Monica:Yeah so?.

Ross:Wow.

Joey:Really?.

Tabitha:Do you not know Chandler?.

Monica:Is that why he's acting so weird?. He's jealous?.Oh my God that is crazy.It's not like I'm attracted to Geoffrey...

Joey:So what?.Being funny is Chandler's thing...You know like Ross's thing is..."Thinks".

Ross:Science?.Academia?.Being a good father?.

Joey:No.

Monica:I can't believe he's that upset about this.

Joey:Monica you have to do some damage control here okay.Cause he's feeling like...

   The door opens and Chandler walks in with a pizza.

Chandler:Hey!.

Joey;Hey!.

Tabitha:Hey!.

Chandler:What are you guys talking about?.

Ross:Uhm...Rachel and I hired a male nanny.

Joey makes a gesture and sound like Can you believe that?.

Chandler:You got a man who's a nanny?. You got a manny?.

  Monica starts laughing but very exaggerated.I start to laugh for real and watch as Joey realises they also should laugh and punches Ross.Now all four of us laugh.Chandler seems happy again.

Chandler:You know I don't mind a...male nanny but I do draw the line at a male wetnurse.

   I look at my children as I listen to Joey,Monica and Ross fake laugh.

Monica:Oh,oh...you are on a roll mister.

Chandler:If I'd known you guys were coming over I would have brought more pizza.

  Everyone else burst out in a thundering laugh.

Monica:Okay,okay...Chandler you,you stop it!.

   I look over and see Monica wipes away tears.

Chandler:What is so funny about that?.

   That's when everyone realises it wasn't a joke.

Monica:Well I don't know...I-It's just the way you say it...I mean you're funny...You have that funny thing.You're a funny guy!.

Chandler turns to Me and Joey.

Chandler:Did you tell her what we talked about?.

  Joey starts laughing hysterically but then gets serious again.

Joey:Yeah.

Chandler:So those were pity laughs?.Pity Laughs?.

Joey and Ross walk away from the kitchen.

Monica:Honey listen...You have nothing to worry about with Geoffrey.

Chandler:Oh yeah?.Is he funnier than me?.

Monica:Well you're,you're different funny...I mean you're,you're more sarcastic a-a-and...well he does bits and impressions and,and limericks...

Chandler:I do limericks...uhm...There once was a man named Chandler whose wife made him die inside.

Monica:Honey you know I think you're hilarious.Come on you know that joke you told me last week?.The one about Jerry Lewis and the girl with the lazy eye?.

Chandler:"Laughs".

Monica:That slayed me.

Ross:Hey...I made up that joke and told it to you."Points at Chandler".

Ross:Yep.That's my thing.
