At Monica and Rachel's Me,Chandler, Monica,Phoebe and Joey are hanging out.
Chandler:Wait a minute wait.You’re telling me this actress person is the only woman you ever wanted who didn’t want you back?!.
Joey:Yeah.Oh my God."To Chandler".Is this what it’s like to be you?.
I hold a laugh at Joey's comment towards Chandler.
Elizabeth:Wow you’re really crazy about her huh?.
Joey:Oh you have no idea.And,and when we’re on stage I get to,to kiss her and,and touch her but then she goes home with the director and it’s like somebody’s ripping out my heart!.
Phoebe:Oh it’s so great to see you feeling like this!.
Ross:"Enters".Hey.
Everyone:Hey.
Ross:Monica uh Dad called this morning and ah Aunt Silvia passed away.
Monica:Yes!,Yes!,Yeah,yeah,yeah!.
Ross:We were all pretty shaken up about it.
Phoebe:Wait am I missing something though?.Cause I thought death was something that’s supposed to be sad in a way.
Ross:Well ah Aunt Silvia was well not a nice person.
Monica:Oh she was a cruel,cranky,old bitch!."To Ross".And I’m sorry she died.Did Dad say I get the dollhouse?.
Ross:You get the dollhouse.

Phoebe:Really?!.Really?!.
Monica:Any time you want.Y'know when I was younger all I wanted to do was to play with this dollhouse but no It was to be looked at but never played with.

Joey:Oh it was so amazing.After the love making...
Monica:Oh my.
Joey:Yep.I just,I just watched her sleep for like hours just breathing in and breathing out.And then I knew she was dreaming cause,cause her eyes keep going like this.
Joey closes his eyes and moves them around...Chandler enters the apartment with Rachel.
Chandler:I’m telling ya Joanna’s got it all wrong.Okay?.All I said was this was fun. Let’s do it again sometime.I’ll give you a call.
Rachel:Oh gee.I wonder why she thinks you’re going to call her?.
Chandler:That’s what you say at the end of a date.

Chandler:To her face?.Look it’s the end of the date I’m standing there I know all she’s waiting for is for me to say I’ll call her and it’s just y'know comes out.I can’t help it,it’s a compulsion.
Monica:Come on Rach when a guy says he’s going to call it doesn’t mean he’s going to call.Hasn’t it ever happened to you?.
