(January 1997)

   At Monica and Rachel's. Me, Gabriel, Monica, Phoebe, Ross, Joey and Rachel are there and Joey is demonstrating a card trick.

Joey: Okay pick a card, any card. 

Monica picks one.

Joey: All right now memorize it...Show to everybody...Got it?.

Monica: Umhm.

Joey: All right give it back to me. 

   Joey takes the card back but he looks at the card before he puts it back in the deck he holds the deck to his forehead and thinks a little while.

Joey: 5 of hearts.

Monica is sarcastically amazed.

Karina: "Sarcastically". Real magic does exist.

Rachel: "Sarcastically". Wow.

Monica: Wow. Joey. "Sarcastically". How do you do it?.

Joey: I can't tell you that no.

We hear some knocking coming from the ceiling.

Ross: Ah somebody's at the door on the ceiling.

Rachel: No that's our unbelievably loud upstairs neighbor.

Monica: He took up the carpet and now you can hear everything.

Phoebe: Why don't you go up there and ask him to step lightly please?.

Monica: I have like five times but the guy is so charming that I go up there to yell and then I end up apologizing to him.

Phoebe: Oh that is silly. "Gets up". I'll go up there, I'll tell him to keep it down.

Monica: All right be my guest.

Rachel: Good luck.

Phoebe leaves the apartment.

Joey: All right, all right, all right, all right, all right you really wanna know how I did it I'll show ya. When you handed me back the card what you didn't see was I looked at it so fast that it was invisible to the naked eye. "Picks up card, quickly looks at it". I just did it. "Does it again". I just did it again. Here I'll slow it down so that you guys can see it. "Looks at card in slow motion".

All: Oh I got it.

Gabe: "Being nice". That's a good magic trick Joe.

We hear Phoebe knock at the door upstairs and the guy answer it.

Phoebe: "Muffled". Yeah look I was with my friend downstairs and we hear everything up here that you do and I am sick and tired...

???: "Muffled". Whoa you are very beautiful.

Phoebe: "Muffled". Oh thank you.

*Time Lapse*

Chandler enters the apartment while Phoebe is still upstairs.

Chandler: Hey anybody got a length of rope about six feet long with a little noose at the end?.

Monica: Honey what's the matter?.

Chandler: I just saw Janice.

All: Oh.

Chandler: Yeah she was at Rockefeller Center skating with her husband, she looked so happy. I almost feel bad for whipping that kid's pretzel at them.

Joey: Man I remember the first time I saw that girl Katherine after we broke up. She was just walking with her friend Donna just laughing and talking. God it killed me.
