| 1 | Story by | David Crane & Marta Kauffman
Teleplay by: Jeff Greenstein & Jeff Strauss

| 51 | Rachel | And if you need anything else, I—(notices the handsome Dr. Franzblau)—do not believe we've met. Hi. I'm, uh, Rachel Green. I'm Carol's... ex-husband's... sister's roommate. |
|---|
| 52 | Dr. Franzblau | It is nice to meet you. I'm Dr. Franzblau. I'm your roommate's... brother's... ex-wife's obstetrician. |
|---|
| 53 | Rachel | Oh, that's funny! |
|---|
| Observation: (the lines above) This probably isn't a reference to the movie Spaceballs, but it sounds a lot like it. |
| |
| 90 | Chandler | All right. I'll tell you what. When we're 40, if neither one of us are married, what do you say you and I get together and have one? |
|---|
| Observation: the lines above is the first time Chandler's romantically interested in Monica. Chloe Rogers notes that Chandler also shows a romantic interest in Monica in Episode 306: The One With The Flashback, line(s) 214-218, and a sexual interest in her in Episode 508: The One With The Thanksgiving Flashbacks, line(s) 202-208, both flashbacks which occur later in the series, but earlier in the Friends timeline. |
| Episode 306, Lines 214-218 |
|---|
| 214 | Monica | I don’t understand, I mean am I so hard to live, is this why I don’t have a boyfriend? |
|---|
| 215 | Chandler | Noo!! You don’t have a boyfriend because....I don’t, I don’t know why you don’t have a boyfriend. You should have a boyfriend. |
|---|
| 216 | Monica | Well, I think so. |
|---|
| 217 | Chandler | Oh-ho, come here. (goes and hugs her) Listen, you are one of my favourite people and the most beautiful woman I’ve ever known in real life. |
|---|
| 218 | [SCENE] | Scene: the bar, Ross is entering, Phoebe is at the bar, they are the only two in the place. |
|---|
| Episode 508, Lines 202-208 |
|---|
| 202 | (ACTION) | Monica enters, but she forgot something. Oh, about 150 pounds. In other words, she lost weight, big time! |
|---|
| 203 | Monica | Hi, Chandler. |
|---|
| 204 | Chandler | Oh my God! |
|---|
| 205 | Monica | What-what's the matter? Is there, is there something on my dress? (She turns around making sure he gets a good look.) |
|---|
| 206 | Chandler | You just, you look so different! Terrific! That dress! That body! |
|---|
| 207 | Ross | Dude! |
|---|
| 208 | Chandler | Sorry! |
|---|
| |
| 178 | (ACTION) | Phoebe has heard them arguing and comes down the hall, taking them into a broom closet. |
|---|
| 179 | Phoebe | Hey, hey, ok, all right, that's it! Get in here. Come on. My god, you guys, I don't believe you. There are children coming into the world in this very building and your negative fighting noises are not the first thing they should be hearing. So just stop all the yelling, just stop it! |
|---|
| 180 | Ross | Yeah, Susan. |
|---|
| 181 | Phoebe | Don't make me do this again, I don't like my voice like this. |
|---|
| 182 | (ACTION) | Phoebe goes to leave the room, but the door is locked. |
|---|
| Observation: In Episode 823: The One Where Rachel Has A Baby, line(s) 512-514, I wonder if Monica and Chandler did it in the same closet that Phoebe, Ross, and Susan were trapped in 7 years earlier (the lines above). |
| Episode 823, Lines 512-514 |
|---|
| 512 | [SCENE] | Scene: A Janitorial Closet, Monica and Chandler are emerging slowly. |
|---|
| 513 | Chandler | That was amazing. |
|---|
| 514 | Monica | I know. Hey, do you realize we may have just changed our lives forever? We may have just started a family. Nine months from now we can be here, having our own baby. |
|---|
| |
| 253 | [SCENE] | Scene: The Broom Closet, Ross has used a broom to open the air vent in the ceiling. Phoebe is wearing a janitor's uniform, ready to go up in the vent. |
|---|
| 254 | Ross | Ok, got the vent open. |
|---|
| 255 | Phoebe | (reading the nametag on the uniform) Hi, I'm Ben. I'm hospital worker Ben. It's Ben... to the rescue! |
|---|
| Question: I'm probably missing something basic, but why did Phoebe don a janitor's uniform in the lines above before climbing into the vent? (below: Phoebe dressed up as Ben from this episode). |
| Image below: Phoebe dressed up as Ben |
|---|
 | | |
| 286 | Phoebe | (from the air vent overhead) You guys, he's beautiful! |
|---|
| Observation: (the lines above) Phoebe's comment is symbolic as Ben is "blessed from above". |
| |
| 290 | Susan | No shouting, but we still need a name for this little guy. |
|---|
| 291 | Ross | (thinking) How 'bout Ben? |
|---|
| 292 | Susan | I like Ben. |
|---|
| 293 | Carol | Ben. Ben. Ben's good. How come you never mentioned Ben before? |
|---|
| Nitpick: In the lines above, Ross and Carol name their son Ben from the name on Phoebe's borrowed uniform (Episode 123: The One With The Birth, line(s) 253-256). In Episode 615: The One That Could Have Been, line(s) 303-304, their son's name is still Ben, even though this is a "what if" episode, and the events in Episode 123 never occurred (maybe it's just a coincidence). [This annotation came from another source, and I am in the process of properly crediting it. It is it not something I annotated myself] |

|---|
| 256 | Ross | Ben, you ready? All right, gimme your foot. Ok, on three, Ben. One, two, three. Ok, That's it, Ben. |
|---|
| Episode 615, Lines 303-304 |
|---|
| 303 | Carol | Oh, me too. |
