Zakery:So what are you gonna do?.
Phoebe:I don't know.I'll just handle it I'll ask you and Chandler to talk to him.
Chandler:Me?!.Why me?.
Phoebe:Because you are so afraid of commitment!.You talk to him make him scared like you!.Make him a…man!.
Zakery:I'll try but I'm not sure what good it would do y'know?.Because I'm a lot less afraid of commitment than I used to be.
Monica:That is so sweet!.
Monica kisses Zakery then turns to add some sugar to her tea.
Zakery:"To Phoebe".Still terrified we'll take care of it.No problem.
Monica turns back and then he smiles and kisses her when she turns away he nods that he'll do it to Phoebe....A few hours later at Central Perk Me and Phoebe are hanging out as she is drinking coffee and Zakery and Chandler enter.

At Chandler and Joey's Joey,Ross and Monica are still playing catch with Me and Chandler watching as Joey throws the ball to Monica who catches it and whips it at Ross.
Ross:"Catching ball".Monica!.Stop throwing it so hard.We're on the same team.
Elizabeth:Four hours?.
Chandler:You guys have been doing this for four hours?.
Joey:That's right baby.
Chandler:All right let me in.
Chandler jumps off of the counter to join in the game but Monica jumps in front of him.
Monica:No,no!.Don't do it!.Don't!.
Chandler:What?.
Monica:He's a dropper!.
Joey:Oh yeah that's right!.
Chandler:I'm not a dropper!.
Ross:It's really a uh,uh three person game y'know?.
Elizabeth:It's throwing and catching.
Ross:All right.
Ross gently tosses the ball to Chandler who catches it.
Chandler:Oh!"Oh!.That's so hard.
Chandler starts to juggle the ball but loses control and almost drops it and hands it to Monica.Rachel enters with the cat and the chick and the duck start to get riled up.
Joey:Whoa,whoa you guys it's not a cat!.
Monica:Oh my Oh good God!.
Rachel:"Wearing oven mitt to protect hand".I give up you guys I don't know what I'm going to do with this thing!.
Ross:Baking it didn't help huh?.
Elizabeth:So why don't you just take it back to where you got it?.
Rachel:I tried!.They won't take her back.
Chandler:Maybe that's because she's a minion of the anti-Christ.
Elizabeth:Rach why won't they take it back?.
Rachel:Well they said would but they would only give me store credit.I mean what am I going to do get a thousand regular cats?.
Monica:Look if you want you can keep it at our place until you find out what to do with it.
Rachel:No Mon that's not the point.I'm out a thousand dollars I'm all scratched up and I'm stuck with this stupid cat that looks like a hand!.
As Rachel leaves Monica sneezes.
Monica:Oh my God the cat's made my eyes water!.Don't,don't throw it to me!.My vision's been compromised!.
Monica quickly grabs a tissue to wipe her eyes.
Monica:Oh God!.Okay.Okay.It's okay.Man that was close.
Elizabeth:"Sarcastically".Yeah you almost overreacted to something.
Chandler:"Chuckles".
Phoebe,Gary:"Enters".Hey!.
All:Hey!.

Gary:Okay I'll see you at the station later.
Phoebe:Okay yeah I'll see you later!.Don't forget about the moving in!.
Gary:All right.
Phoebe closes the door behind him.
Monica:So you're moving in with him. What happened?.
Phoebe:I couldn't tell him no.He got so sad. Maybe it'll be all right.I do really like him a lot and probably do it eventually anyway and plus think of all the money I'll save on stamps.
Elizabeth:Why do you write him a lot?.
Phoebe:No I just heard when people live together they split the cost of stamps.Don't they?.
All:Yeah!.That's right.Yeah,yeah!.Yeah!.
Rachel enters with the cat wearing the oven mitt and startles Phoebe.
Phoebe:Oh I'm sorry the oven mitts really freaked me out.
