• [the friends enter the beach house] 

  Monica Geller : [to Monica]  You know what this reminds me of? Um, why couldn't I be your boyfriend?

  Monica Geller : [smiles but in disbelief]  Are you still *on* that?

  Chandler Bing : [gladly]  Uh-huh.

  Joey Tribbiani : [cooly]  Would you let it go already?

  Monica Geller : [gladly]  Thank you Joey.

  Joey Tribbiani : [puts down his suitcase]  But you'd go out with me, right?

  Monica Geller : [trying not to laugh]  No! You're the same as with Chandler - we're friends.

  Joey Tribbiani : Well, let's say we were the last two guys on the face of the planet, and you had a gun to your head. Which one would you pick?

  Monica Geller : [smartly]  Which one of you has the gun to my head?

• [the gang is ready to travel to the beach. Rachel arrives, wearing a ridiculously big hat] 

  Joey Tribbiani : [chuckles]  Hey-hey, check out the hat!

  Chandler Bing : Wait a minute, I know that hat! I was taken aboard that hat! They did experiments on me! I can't have children!

  Monica Geller : Seriously, where did you get the hat?

  Rachel Green : [points at Ross]  Ross gave it to me.

  Dr. Ross Geller : Yeah, I think she looks good.

  Rachel Green : [smiles at Ross]  Ohh, thank you.

  Chandler Bing : Buy it for you, or win it for you?

  Rachel Green : Well excuse me, my fashion-impaired friends, I am here to tell you that hats are back.

  Phoebe Buffay : And this time, they've ganged up to form one giant, super hat!

• [in the beach house, Ross is relaxing, Joey and Chandler are building sandcastles and Rachel and Monica are painting each others' nails] 

  Joey Tribbiani : Hey! You know what a really good rainy day game is?

  Monica Geller : What?

  Joey Tribbiani : I mean naked game?

  [Monica looks away from Joey but no one says anything] 

  Joey Tribbiani : [eager]  Strip Poker! We should totally play Strip Poker!

  Dr. Ross Geller : No!

  Rachel Green : [at the same time as Ross]  No way!

  Monica Geller : [at the same time as Rachel]  What are you crazy?

  Joey Tribbiani : [insisting]  Come on! When you go away, you *have* to play. It's like, the law!

• Rachel Green : [painting Monica's fingernails]  All done!

  Monica Geller : Thank you.

  Rachel Green : [looks around the room]  OK! Who's next?

  [Rachel eyes Ross] 

  Dr. Ross Geller : [trying not to laugh but definite]  No!

  [Rachel shows big eyes as if to say, "Please?"] 

  Dr. Ross Geller : [trying not laugh]  No way!

  Rachel Green : [desparate]  Come on please? I'm bored! You let me do it once before.

  [Ross reacts and looks at Joey, who looks at Chandler as if to say, "When was this?" and Chandler's expression implies, "Don't look at me."] 

  Dr. Ross Geller : [looks at Rachel with a simple tone]  Yeah well if er... if *that's* the rule this weekend...

  [Rachel gets up and approaches Ross] 

  Dr. Ross Geller : [at the same time as Rachel]  No. Get away. Stay... No. No!

  Rachel Green : [at the same time as Ross]  Yeah. Come on. Take it like a man Ross. Come on. Oh, come on.

  [Ross gets up, runs around the room and Rachel chases him and he accidentally flattens one of Chandler's sandcastles as he runs by] 

  Chandler Bing : [very annoyed]  Big bullies!

  [Ross jumps on the sofa, Rachel jumps on top of him, they hold each other off but stop and look in each others' eyes] 

  Phoebe Buffay : [enters the beach house and puts down her umbrella]  Hey! So how are we doing?

  Chandler Bing : [as Ross and Rachel get up]  Bored and bored.

  Joey Tribbiani : [grinning]  Hey! You know what naked card game's never boring?

  Rachel Green , Monica Geller , Dr. Ross Geller , Chandler Bing : No!

• Monica Geller : So what's Phoebe like?

  Phoebe Buffay : [thinks Monica is talking about her and tries to sound polite]  I'm kind, caring and sweet. What's Monica like?

  [Monica realises how unclear her question was] 

  Monica Geller : Uh no. The *other* Phoebe. The one you went to go see?

  Phoebe Buffay : [suddenly cheerful]  Oh! I think she knows where my Dad is!

  Joey Tribbiani : What?

  Chandler Bing , Dr. Ross Geller : [almost at the same time as Joey]  Cool!

  Rachel Green : [almost at the same time as Ross and Chandler]  Really?

  Monica Geller : Well where is he?

  Phoebe Buffay : She was actually - she was pretending like she hadn't heard from him in years, but I found this picture on her fridge, and look! Isn't this what he would look like now?

  [Phoebe takes a picture out of her pocket and shows it to her friends] 

  Monica Geller : [gasps]  Totally familiar.

  Phoebe Buffay : Yeah.

  Dr. Ross Geller , Rachel Green , Joey Tribbiani : [one after the other as they look at they look at the picture]  Oh yeah!

  Monica Geller : But why would she lie to you?

  Phoebe Buffay : [Rachel offers her the picture and Phoebe takes it]  I don't know, but we're having dinner tomorrow night so I figured, she's gonna tell me *then*. You know, maybe she'll want to give him time to... buy me presents.

  [the friends agree and Phoebe puts the picture in her pocket] 

  Phoebe Buffay : [happily]  So, you're all bored?

  Dr. Ross Geller , Rachel Green , Joey Tribbiani : [almost in unison]  Awww.

  Chandler Bing : Yes.

  Phoebe Buffay : [happily]  All right. I'm gonna close my eyes and point to someone and whoever I point to has to come up with something fun for us to do and we *have* to do it!

  Joey Tribbiani : [hyped up]  OK! All right! Fan out! Fan out!

  [the friends spread out] 

  Phoebe Buffay : [happily]  OK.

  [Phoebe closes her eyes and spins round pointing with her right hand] 

  Phoebe Buffay : [enjoying herself]  Ooh! You know, we could just do this!

  [Phoebe stops spinning and opens her eyes and sees that she's point at Chandler] 

  Chandler Bing : [unsure]  OK. Um... we all have to... play Strip Poker.

  Joey Tribbiani : [overjoyed]  AH YES!
