The One With The Sonogram At The End part2
[Scene, Monica and Rachel's, Monica and Ross are pouring wine for their parents.]

Mrs. Geller:
- Oh, Martha Ludwin's daughter is gonna call you.
(Tastes a snack)
- Mmm! What's that curry taste?

Monica:
- Curry.

Mrs. Geller:
- Mmmm!

Ross:
- I- I think they're great! I, I really do.

Mr. Geller: (To Ross)
- Do you remember the Ludwins? The big one had a thing for you, didn't she?

Mrs. Geller:
- They all had a thing for him.

Ross:
- Aw, Mom...

Monica:
- I'm sorry, why is this girl going to call me?

Mrs. Geller:
- Oh, she just graduated, and she wants to be something in cooking, or food, or.... I don't know.
- Anyway, I told her you had a restaurant-

Monica:
- No Mom, I don't have a restaurant, I work in a restaurant.

Mrs. Geller:
- Well, they don't have to know that...
(She starts to fluff the same pillow Monica fluffed multiple times earlier.)

Monica:
- Ross, could you come and help me with the spaghetti, please?

Ross: Yeah.
(They go to the kitchen.)

Mrs. Geller:
- Oh, we're having spaghetti! That's.... easy.

Monica:
- I know this is going to sound unbelievably selfish, but,
- were you planning on bringing up the whole baby/lesbian thing?
- Because I think it might take some of the heat off me.

[Time Lapse, everyone is now eating.]

Mrs. Geller:
- What that Rachel did to her life....
- We ran into her parents at the club, they were not playing very well.

Mr. Geller:
- I'm not gonna tell you what they spent on that wedding...
- but forty thousand dollars is a lot of money!

Mrs. Geller:
- Well, at least she had the chance to leave a man at the altar...

Monica:
- What's that supposed to mean?

Mrs. Geller:
- Nothing! It's an expression.

Monica:
- No it's not.

Mr. Geller:
- Don't listen to your mother. You're independent, and you always have been!
- Even when you were a kid... and you were chubby, and you had no friends,
- you were just fine! And you would read alone in your room, and your puzzles...

[Time Lapse.]

Mr. Geller:
- Look, there are people like Ross who need to shoot for the stars,
- with his museum, and his papers getting published.
- Other people are satisfied with staying where they are-
- I'm telling you, these are the people who never get cancer.

[Time Lapse.]

Mr. Geller:
- ...And I read about these women trying to have it all,
- and I thank God 'Our Little Harmonica' doesn't seem to have that problem.

Monica: (trying desperately to change the subject)
- So, Ross, what's going on with you? Any stories?
(Digs her elbow into his hand.)
- No news, no little anecdotes to share with the folks?

Ross: (pulls his hand away)
- Okay! Okay.
(To his parents)
- Look, I, uh- I realize you guys have been wondering what exactly happened between Carol and me, and, so, well, here's the deal. Carol's a lesbian. She's living with a woman named Susan. She's pregnant with my child, and she and Susan are going to raise the baby.

(Stunned silence ensues.)

Mrs. Geller:
(To Monica)
- And you knew about this?!

[Scene: Central Park, everyone's there.]

Joey:
- Your folks are really that bad, huh?

Ross:
- Well, y'know, these people are pros.
- They know what they're doing, they take their time, they get the job done.

Monica:
- Boy, I know they say you can't change your parents,...
- boy, if you could-
(To Ross)
- I'd want yours.

Ross:
- Must pee.
(Goes to pee.)

Phoebe:
- Y'know, it's even worse when you're twins.

Rachel:
- You're twins?

Phoebe:
- Yeah. We don't speak. She's like this high-powered, driven career type.

Chandler:
- What does she do?

Phoebe:
- She's a waitress.

Rachel:
- All right, you guys, I kinda gotta clean up now.
(They all start to leave.)

Monica:
- Chandler, you're an only child, right? You don't have any of this.

Chandler:
- Well, no, although I did have an imaginary friend,
- who... my parents actually preferred.

Rachel:
- The lights, please..

(Joey turns off the lights, and they all leave as Rachel starts to clean up.  Ross enters from the bathroom.)

Ross:
- ...How long was I in there?

Rachel:
- I'm just cleaning up.

Ross:
- D'ya.. uh.. d'ya need any help?

Rachel:
- Uh.. okay, sure! Thanks!
(She hands him the broom and sits down.)

Ross:
- Anyway.. um..
(Starts to sweep.)
- So, you- uh- you nervous about Barry tomorrow?

Rachel:
- Oh.. a little..

Ross:
- Mm-hmm..

Rachel:
- A lot.

Ross:
- Mm.

Rachel:
- So, got any advice? Y'know, as someone who's recently been- dumped?

Ross:
- Well, you may wanna steer clear of the word 'dumped'.
- Chances are he's gonna be this, this broken shell of a man, y'know, so you should try not to look too terrific, I know it'll be hard. Or, y'know, uh, hey!, I'll go down there, and I'll give Barry back his ring, and you can go with Carol and Susan to the OB/GYN...

Rachel:
- Oh, you've got Carol tomorrow.. When did it get so complicated?

Ross:
- Got me.

Rachel:
- Remember when we were in high school together?

Ross:
- Yeah.

Rachel:
- I mean, didn't you think you were just gonna meet somone,
- fall in love- and that'd be it?
(Ross gazes at her.)
- ..Ross?

Ross:
- Yes, yes!

Rachel:
- Oh! Man, I never thought I'd be here..
(She leans back onto his hand.)

Ross:
- Me either...
(He pulls up a stool so that he doesn't have to move his hand.)
