Sophie (VO): Previously on Friends, er, I mean Ross and Rachel.
[Montage of Scenes from TOW Double Trouble]
(Rachel exits Mark's office and runs into Ross)
Ross: Hey, what are you doing here?
Rachel: Checking if everything was OK, that a problem?
[Scene: Mark's office, later that night]
Mark: It's a shame that didn't work.
Rachel: Yeah, but I mean...
(He kisses her)
(She leans back and looks at him - deja vu TO At The Beach - they kiss more passionately)
(Sophie enters)
Sophie: Mark, here's (Sees them,they break). Uh, I'll just bin this invoice, huh?
Rachel: Sophie, you didn't see anything, come on!
Sophie: No, he needs to know.
Rachel: OK, I'll fire you if you tell him! Hah!
Sophie: Fire me, but it needs both of you to agree.
Rachel: Says who?
Sophie: Says my contract. I believe the exact words are "Should the employee be asked to leave her posistion it requires the consent of both co-owners otherwise..."
Rachel: Yeah, I get the point! But I never saw it.
Sophie: (Surprised) You didn't?!
Rachel: No, I mean (realises) Oh, smallprint?
Sophie: Yeah.
Rachel: Yeah, but come on! If you keep it to yourself, I'll give you a 10% pay increase.
Sophie: 20%.
Rachel: We can't afford that kind of money.
(Sophie picks up the phone)
Rachel: 15%?
(She starts to dial)
Rachel: OK, 20 it is. But no more!
Sophie: OK, but that's not the end of it.
Rachel: (Worried) What do you mean?
(Sophie walks over to her desk and opens a drawer. The drawer is tough to open and doesn't open fully)
Sophie: Kate and I would like new desks and new chairs.
Rachel: What!!
Sophie: See, you are totally at my mercy.
Rachel: OK, fine.
(Sophie laughs quietly to herself)
[Scene: Same but later that day. Ross and Kate are there as well as Rachel and Sophie, the delivery intercom buzzes - note for this scene, the desks and chairs did get delivered fast, so don't argue]
(Rachel gets up just beating Ross to answer it)
Rachel: Yes.
Man (Through Intercom): Delivery for Miss Rachel Grone.
Rachel: (Pretty angry) It's Green, you idiot, Green!
Man: What is?
Rachel: (Now very angry) Oh! I'll be down in a minute.
(She comes off the intercom and grabs an order list, while she does it:) Sophie: Is that the delivery for the new...
Rachel: Yes, yes it is!
(Rachel exits quickly)
Ross: What's wrong with her?
Sophie: Nothing.
Kate: Well, it is Monday.
Ross and Sophie: (ad-lib) Point, yeah.
[Scene: Delivery Entrance, Rachel is signing the delivery document]
(The Delivery Guy - same as on the phone - starts to hold out his hand but before it even comes near Rachel she says)
Rachel: (Still looking at paper) You actually expect a tip?
(He brings his hand back in again.)
Rachel: Here.
(She hands the paper back to him and goes back upstairs)
[Scene: Upstairs, new desks are being delivered, Ross and Kate look surprised]
Ross: What the hell's going on?
Kate: Encore!
Ross: What?
Kate: On four. One, two, three, four, LIFT!
Sophie: Rachel has decided to give us new desks. I mean, look at the state of these! (she demonstrates)
Ross: Wow, wow, wow! We can't afford all this stuff.
Sophie: Well, it's got nothing to do with me!
(Ross gives her a look)
Sophie: OK, it was all my idea, but I had good reasons!
Ross: Like what?
Sophie: Well (Realises what she's done), that's not really important right now. I tell you what, you can take 20% out of my paycheck for two months, that'll even it out.
Ross: OK, great, that's fine. I could use a new desk too.
Sophie: Well, umm, you don't get one.
[Time lapse, a couple of hours later]
(Sophie grabs Ross by the arm and pulls him into his office, she then shuts the door)
Sophie: I need to tell you something.
Ross: (Interested) Yeah.
Sophie: I was working late last night and I went downstairs and... I saw...
(Suddenly, Rachel opens the door)
Sophie: (To Ross) And that's why I like the wallpaper!
Ross: Oh, yeah.
Rachel: Honey, I need you to sign these (gestures to some papers).
Ross: Yeah, sure.
Rachel: Sophie, I need that invoice doing for 3:30!
Sophie: Yeah, I'll get on it.
(Rachel and Sophie both exit)
[Scene: Sales, Ross is walking down the stairs as Mark exits his office]
Ross: Oh, hey Mark.
Mark: (Turns) Yeah.
Ross: Do you have last month's figures handy? I need to check some stuff.
Mark: Sure, they're in my drawer.
(They both enter his office, Mark goes over to the desk with his back to Ross, he has a worried look on his face. It's obvious why)
Mark: Hey, you know, I'm really truly sorry about last night, I deserve all I get.
Ross: What are you talking about? Mark: Oh, nothing, I. Ask Rachel! Here's the figures.
(He quickly exits)
Ross: Hey, wait!
[Scene: Main office, five minutes later, Ross re-enters]
Ross: Do you know where Rach is?
Kate: Yeah, she went home about 10 minutes ago.
Ross: Thanks. Listen, could you manage on your own for like, an hour?
Kate: Well, I'll try.
(Ross runs out)
[Scene: R&R's apartment, Rachel is making coffee as Ross enters]
Rachel: Hi honey. Coffee?
Ross: Yeah, we could be here a while.
Rachel: What?
Ross: Well, earlier I talked to Sophie and...
Rachel: (Anxious) About what?!
Ross: Well, that's what I'm trying to find out. She said she saw something last night and...
Rachel: A UFO?!?!
Ross: No, she didn't say but when I went down to Mark's office he says he's sorry for what he did and he deserves all he gets...
Rachel: Maybe he broke a vase?
Ross: He then said to ask you about it.
Rachel: Oh, he did, well...
(The phone rings, Ross answers)
Ross: Hello...Yes...Hi Sophie...what?...they what?...
(Rachel grabs the receiver)
Rachel: Nooo!
(She eventually manages to get it back on the hook)
Ross: Oh my God! I don't believe it!!!
So, do you like the script so far? And do you like the new look site? It's needed a makeover for ages!
[Scene: As before]
Ross: I still don't believe it!
Rachel: Well, it wasn't my fault!
Ross: What?
Rachel: OK, it was completely my fault, but I didn't initiate the kiss and I also didn't stop it!
Ross: (Confused) Gunther and Phoebe?
Rachel: Yeah.
Ross: Why did you do it?
Rachel: Well, it just, um, sorta happened, really.
Ross: Did you sleep with him?
[Writer's note: How else could I put this without completely copying TOW Chandler Crosses The Line? Suggestions?]
Rachel: No, no! No I didn't!!
Ross: I can't believe you did it! You always said I was crazy and jealous for no reason and now this happens.
Rachel: Yeah, I guess so.
Ross: (Still angry, now upset) You know I...
Rachel: Hey, I completely understand, honey and I'm so sorry!
Ross: Hey, I need some time outta here.
(Ross picks up his jacket and goes out of the door)
Rachel: Honey, WAIT!
[Scene: Central Perk, Ross is having a cup of coffee on the "Friends Couch". Rachel enters]
Rachel: (Out of breath) Oh, there you are! I need to...
(Ross gets up)
Rachel: Where ya going?
Ross: Home!
(Ross leaves)
(Rachel goes up to the counter, exhausted. She starts talking to Gunther)
Rachel: Oh, I give up right now! Coffee please Gunther.
(Gunther starts pouring the coffee)
Gunther: You're one person who can fill these silences.
Rachel: (Still exhausted) What?
Gunther: Decaf?
Rachel: No, regular.
Gunther: Problems with Ross?
Rachel: Oh, I don't wanna bore you Gunther.
Gunther: (In his head) And they said Friday the 13th brought you bad luck!)
Gunther: (To Rachel) Oh, thanks. (He finishes the coffee). Here.
Rachel: Thanks
Gunther: I hope you work it out.
Rachel: Thanks, Gunther.
[Scene: R&R's Apartment, later that night, Rachel exits the bedroom]
Rachel: God, I hope this isn't a disaster!
(The camera pans round to the table where a nice candlelit dinner is set out with all the usual 'nice dinner' stuff. At least she's trying! Did I forget to mention she's wearing her lucky dress?)
Rachel: All I've gotta do is wait for him and then surprise him.
[Time lapse, 1 hour later]
(Rachel is now sat at the table drinking a glass of wine)
[Further time lapse, 2 hours later]
(Rachel now has her head on the table, asleep. The candles have burnt out and the dinner is obviously a disaster.)
(She is awoken by a knock at the door)
(She goes to the door and looks through the peephole. She then opens the door)
Rachel: Oh, Sophie, Hi.
Sophie: Hi, can I come in?
Rachel: Sure, yeah.
Sophie: Ross told me what happened so I thought I'd come over.
Rachel: Thanks.
Sophie: (Walking to the couch) Wow. I see you had something planned.
Rachel: Yeah, I did but he's not here.
Sophie: Well, I'm sorry, but he told me he was gonna stay in the Plaza tonight for a 'break'.
Rachel: (Diving for the phone) I've gotta speak to him!
(She dials the hotel)
Sophie: You know the number?
Rachel: Well, we've stayed there before.
Desk clerk: (On other end) Hello, the Plaza, Good Evening.
Rachel: Yes, hi. Could you please tell me which room Mr. Geller is staying.
Desk clerk: I'm sorry, ma'am, but he has told me specifically not to tell anyone where he is.
Rachel: Well, I need to know, I'm his fiancee.
Desk clerk: I'm sorry. Goodnight. (She hangs up)
Rachel: I'm gonna have to kick her ass!
Sophie: Well, maybe you should go talk to him.
Rachel: I think I should. No, wait! I've got a better idea.
Sophie: What?
Rachel: I'm gonna go down to the hotel, can you give me a lift?
Sophie: Sure.
[Scene: The Plaza, The girls get out while their car is valet parked]
(Rachel goes up to the front desk)
Desk clerk: Good evening, may I help you.
Rachel: Yes, I'd like to leave a message for Mr. Geller, I'm not sure what room he's in.
Desk clerk: OK, if you could just write the message on this piece of paper.
Rachel: Well, it's (quieter) kind of personal.
Desk clerk: OK, ma'am, when you've written it I'll seal it in this envelope and it will remain private.
Rachel: Thanks.
(Rachel takes the piece of paper to the table and starts writing)
Sophie: You're leaving him a message?
Rachel: Yeah, that's gotta be the best thing to do.
(A Valet enters the hotel)
Valet: Ma'am. There's a problem with your car, please step this way.
Sophie: Oh, hang on.
(She leaves)
Rachel: (Sighs and dictates the letter to herself). Ross, I'm sorry about the way I left things with you and I'm so sorry about what I did. If I could have anything in the world right now I wouldn't choose money, I would choose to go back and change what I did. I can't do that, though, and you're going to have to forgive me. I'm so sorry. Love you always. Rachel.
(She gives it back to the desk clerk)
Desk clerk: Thank You, I'll get it delivered immediately!
Rachel: Thanks.
(The desk clerk seals the envelope, Rachel then exits the hotel)
[Scene: R&R's apartment, Rachel and Sophie are there, Rachel is waiting anxiously by the phone, Suddenly, it rings]
Rachel: Hello!
Desk clerk: Miss Rachel Green?
Rachel: Yes.
Desk clerk: You appear to have left your credit card here.
Rachel: Oh, thank you for contacting me. Can I collect it now?
Desk clerk: Yes, that's not a problem.
Rachel: Thanks, bye.
(She hangs up)
Sophie: Was that Ross?
Rachel: No, but I need to go back to the hotel, I left my credit card.
[Scene: Back at the Plaza, Rachel goes up to the desk]
Rachel: Hi, I'm Rachel Green, I left a credit card here.
Desk clerk: Ah, yes, Miss Green. It's in the Lost Property office, just through those doors. (She points to a double door across the lobby)
Rachel: Thanks.
(She goes over to the doors and opens them. She sees Ross there. They both look at each other for what seems like ages and then...They kiss)
Sophie: Gunther will not be happy!
[Scene: Central Perk, Sophie walks in and goes to the counter]
Sophie: Hey Gunther.
Gunther: Hi.
Sophie: Did you hear about Ross and Rachel?
Gunther: They broke up?!?!
Sophie: Well, no. They're back together.
Gunther: God damn Friday the 13th!!!!!!!
