Spoilers - The One With the Ring
For some reason, Monica, Phoebe and Rachel were visting a museum. They walked into this one room and thought it was beautiful. A woman walks in with a couple and is talking about how they can have the room done for their wedding. Our 3 girls start saying to themselves that they wouldn't do it like that, they would have such and such over here etc.. Monica asks if you can hire the place for a wedding. The woman says (bitchily) you can but there is a two year waiting list.This gets the girls thinking and P. or R. tell Monica she should put her name down. Monica says she isn;t going to get married, and P. and R. say in two years she would be (I think P. may have said something about it not being Chandler but someone else... not sure). ANyway, they all decide to put their names down and that P. and R. would both have men by then as well. Next scene... Chandler is in the apartment on his own (reading I think). The phone rings and switches to answermachine, he doesn;t bother answering it. The call is from the woman at the museum saying Monica is in luck, there has been a cancellation and she can have the 'Geller and Bing wedding' shortly (didn't quite hear how long.. but I assume two weeks since that is how many episodes are afterwards). Chandler answers the phone to speak to the woman. End of scene. From what I gather here Chandler goes missing for the rest of the day. When he gets back, as sson as he walks into the apartment Monica tells him it was a mistake... Chandler acts freaked out a bit, but Monica manages to tell him she put the name down as a joke. (he mentions that the wopman said the band would also be available!). They hug and she leaves. Phoebe comes out of her room and asks if 'she bought it'. Chandler says yes and the place is booked and organised. Phoebe and Chandler are in the kitchen, Chandler is going through a ring catalogue. He says he doesn't know what ring to get her, there is the cut, the cut and ow the paper cut. (they did this 3 times and slightly altered it each time). Phoebe asks if there is a Monica Cut could that would be perfect. Ross and Joey enter, Chandler stuffs the catalogue in his pocket. Phoebe asks Chandler if he wants to go get coffee. Ross says he was just about to ask them that. P. and C. say they are going elsewhere and leave. Joey at this point has gone into the fridge and got out some pizza and is eating a slice next to Ross. After C. and P. leave, he turns to Joey and says 'How rude'. Joey pauses then offers Ross the half eaten pizza slice. Three times this was filmed, first time, Ross takes a big bite off the pizza, the second time, as Ross goes to bite it Joey pulls it back and doesn't let Ross have any, the third time, Ross, when offered the pizza, gives Joey the typical Ross look. Next scene.. Central Perk. (just remembered this scene!!) Phoebe and Rachel are there. Rachel is saying that Bruce WIllis (BW) doesn't open up much as she wants him to. Phoebe says she has to treat him like a jar of pickles. Rachel asks if she means she should hit his head against a table until he opens up. Phoebe says no, you do that when you want someone to tell the truth. BW walks in. P. asks him how his day was (3 diff. versions) he says Okay or Fine. P. motions to R. of opening a jar. Rachel and BW get up the leave. Ross walks in. BW quickly says hello and leaves, holding the door open for Rachel and giving Ross a filthy look (which Ross doesn;t see). Ross sits down and asks Phoebe what was up with them before. She says she didn;t know and says maybe he had upset Chandler. Ross asks P. whether she knew why. She asks him does he know why. He says he doesn't. She asks is he sure. He then says that Joey bought tickets for a Knicks game two weeks before using Chandlers credit card and didn't get Chandler a ticket. P. asks if Ross thinks Chandler would be annoyed by it. Ross says yes, and Phoebe says that must be it then. Bruce Willis and Rachel are in J&Rs apartment. Rachel keeps trying to get BW to open up. He wants to go for dinner. She wants him to tell her just one thing about him since she doesn;t know anything. He basically starts telling her when he was 6 he wants a but he got a rubber chicken that he could bounce around on(!!) and all the kids at school called him Chicken Boy... he goes on about this and then starts crying. Rachel manages to stop him, and says she is pleased he told her that and she feels closer to him already. She then says they should go for food. BW says he can;t eat now. Rachel says they should go to this restaurant since BW loves their Kung Pao Chicken. BW says 'Chiclken' and starts crying again. Rachel looks pissed. Central Perk scene. Ross walks in and goes to Joey who is at the counter (Gunther looked fab, green tie, tellow shirt and amazing trousers!). Ross says he think Chandler is annoyed with them about the Nicks tickets. J says Chandler is always sponging off them and expecting favours. They sit down. J says he didnt think C would have minded that Ross and Joey did something together without him since him and Chandler do it all the time without Ross. Ross gets a little upset... then they decide to get tickets for a game that night and one for Chandler as well. Gunther then wants them to pay for the drinks. Joey hands over a credit card. It comes back declines, then J realises he gave Gunther his credit card and into Chandlers and hands that one over instead. Phoebe and Chandler and looking at rings (3 takes... last one best) Chandler is going bleuh at various rings and then realises the shop clerk is next to him. He tells him he has some beautiful rings there. Phoebe gets excited at the muskets that are on display. Chandler then see a ring and asks to see it. Phoebe tells him to let her do the talking since she barters and the fruit market. Chandler says to the guy 'I want to look at this ring' and Phoebe adds 'Or not, whatever'. He gets it out and Chandler isn;t sure about it. (its a 1.5 carat diamond with sapphires on either side). He asks the shopkeeper to hold the ring out and ask C. to marry him. The guy does this (English guy!) and C. says yes it is the ring. He asks how much it is. SK replies $8,600.. P. says 'I'll give you ten dollars' (very funny!). C. says he only has $8,000 to spend, the guy agrees. C. then realises Joey has his credit card and so tells Phoebe to guard the ring while he goes and gets it. C. leaves and P. asks the shopkeeper if he has anything for $10 dollars (on the 3rd take she also 'apologises for earlier'). He says yes he has, he has these two new crisp two $5 bills. Now I think there was a scene with Monica here.. (previously taped again)... R. walks into M.s apartment and says he is still crying. And she has to go and buy more tissues. M. says she has some she can take. Rachel declines and says she will go out to get them. (she is clearly annoyed). I think she mentions that he is this blubbering mess of a man. Monica says she has two ways to stop a man doing that. The first is to have sex. R. asks what the second is, Monica says she doesn;t know because she never has had to get to number two. J&R apartment. BW is sitting crying (they gave away the toilet roll he was using to the audience). Chandler walks in . BW says 'Rachel' in a sob.. and then says 'Hello'. Chandler asks him if he is okay, he manages a yes and then asks C. if his dad ever hugged him. Chandler says 'No, why did he hug you?'. BW ignores this and then says he father never hugged him. (one of the cuts C. said well if you go to a Vegas show his father hug him). C. continues looking for the card. BW turns around and wants C to hug him. They do. (3 takes again, third one C didn;t mind as much). Anyway, they unhug. Joey walks in and BW immediately goes and gives Joey a big hug. C. asks for his credit card and J. says its in his pocket (still in the hug) and motions that he cannot reach it since BW is still hugging him. C. goes in Joeys front pocket to get it, J. says 'Not that one' so C gets it out of Js back pocket. J. says he has bought tickets for a Knicks game that evening did C want to go... C says no he is busy and leaves. BW and joey unhug, and BW says that Chandler was being rude or nasty. Back to the jewellers store.... Phoebe is trying on loads of jewellery, brooch, necklace etc.. and gets the shopkeeper to put a tiara on her. She stands up and asks him if it is too much' He says 'A tad'. Then she takes off the tiara and asks him to pass her the musket. She stands there holding it and still isn't sure so she asks if she can try the ring that is reserved on. You just see a guy leave. The shopkeeper asks the other one to pass the ring. She says she just sold it. Phoebe says 'No no no' and with the musket starts running towards the door after the guy who bought the ring. She gets to the door, the alarms go off, a cage comes down and traps Phoebe in it. She points the musket at the shopkeepers and tell them to either help her or something like that. Another scene (probably slightly out of order here) Chandler goes into the jewellers. P. says it overs, the rings gone etc.. C. is annoyed. P. says to try this other ring. So shes holds it and asks C to marry her. He says it doesn't have the same affect as when the shopkeeper asks. She says maybe ut isnt the ring, its the shopkeeper. C. does a wonderful double take at the shopkeeper who is smiling at him. Joey and Ross decide that Chandler shouldn't be annoyed at them. And decide to stop speaking to him. Joey says that Ross and him are now best friends and they can be the next Chandler and Joey. R. asks if he though he was better friends with Chandler. Joey says forget about it, its them now. Back to Joey and Rachels. Rachel walks in and BW is sitting at the breakfast bar. He is writing things down. He tells her he has more things to tell her. She says that is good and that writing makes her feel sexy. She caresses him. He asks her if she knew what he wanted to be at that age. She says 'A lover?'. He says 'No, a surfer' (they did this scen about 3 times, her reaction her was slightly different each time). She then unbuttons her cardigan, hops onto the counter infront of him, showing her cleavage off and asks if what she is wearing is too much. He galcnes at her and says no, then starts looking through his notes and talks about them. Rachel jumps off the couhnter and says she has had enough. She says 'You know the only person who would listen to you. A mental health worker. Do you know how much they get paid? $100 an hour. I would have made $2,000 listening to you'. BW says Rachel is stiffling him, and flicks through his pad and says 'and 14 hours ago we decided that is what my mother always did'. R. apologises for stiffling him and he comes to his senses. They hug and Rachel basically says they should go and have sex. Monica's apartment. Phoebe and Chandler are there. Chandler looks at the ring and goes blue. He says he shouldnt have let P. talk him into buying this gumball ring. P. says there is a way they can get the other ring back instead of that gumball ring which he cannot give monica. She says she heard the guy who bought the ring say where he was going to propose. It was a restaurant. P says it was 'Rainbow' something. C. says 'Rainbow Rooms' 'No' 'Rainbow something" 'No' 'Somewhere over the'. She then says some entirely different restaurant. He says "I want to know how you got from Rainbow to that'. She pauses and says 'No you don't, you don't want to get inside there' (pointing at her head). They leave to go to the restaurant. BW and her are in bed after sex. They both said it was good. BW starts crying. Rachel has had enough. C and P walk in and see the guy. P. goes over to the table and says there is a call for this guy. He asks who . She says 'Your office'. He asks 'Who in my office'. She pauses and says 'John' . He says 'Oh john' and gets up to follow her. C. then introduced himself and says that he has resevred the ring that the guy bought. The guys asks who he is, C says 'Chandler, you got to keep up'. He basically then says he wants to swap rings and that he was marrying P. who was dying. She coughs. And C says 'of a cough apparently' (they did this 3 times). He then shows the guy the ring. The guy isn't sure. P. then says that her dying wish is to be burried with that ring, and if she doesn't then her spirit will haunt the netherworld for all eternity. The guy looks at the ring again and agrees. Chandler swaps rings and says to the woman he is with 'You are marrying a great guy' She looks really please. They all realise that C has spoilt the surprise (in one take, C actually says he has done this). First two takes, he runs out and P. follows. In the third take, he says something like count yourself lucky, Im marrying a dead woman' and P and him walk out. The third got the best audience reaction. Joey and Ross are watching basketball. Chandler comes in and says he has something to tell them. They do not react. He stands in front of the TV, they look around him. He tells them he is going to ask Monica to marry him and he has the ring. Joey looks at Ross and says they are going to have to stop that. Ross says 'Oh so you two really are serious then'. C says yes. They congraluate him. Joey says he is glad they are friends again, C looks at him funny. Joey says 'water under the bridge' and they hug. Rachel walks in and C tells her that he is going to ask Monica to marry him and shows her the ring. She says its at least 1.5 carats and is so happy for him. Phoebe walks in. Joey tells her C is going to ask Monica to marry him. She says she already knew and helped pick the ring. Ross and Joey say 'oh so you told her before us' and they go back to ignoring him and watch the tv. Final scene... Phoebe, Rachel and Ross sitting in Central Perk. Ross says he cannot believe how lovely the ring is. Rachel says that the funny thing with all of Ross's wives, she is the only one who didn't get a ring.Phoebe says she shouldnt get him to have a ring, she should get a musket. Ross says the funny thing is that when he was married to rachel he didnt get sex. Rachel says 'No ring, no sex'. Phoebe then says 'If you get me a musket, we'll talk'. |
