Rachel: Okay. Great! So now that you guys all know you can help me. Give me some advice on how Im gonna tell Ross!
Monica: Well, what were you gonna say?
Rachel: Well I was gonna tell him that Im-Im gonna have the baby and he can be as involved as he wants.
Joey: Well that, that sounds good.

Monica: Hey! Good luck!
Phoebe: Yeah, bye.
Joey: Bye.
(Rachel exits.)

Chandler: (in a high pitched voice) What?! I didnt even know thatWhy didnt you tell me?! (Pause) Why am I talking like this?!
Monica: I didnt think you could keep it a secret.
Chandler: (in the high pitched voice) What?! (he clears his throat, then again in a high pitched voice) What?! (Normal voice) I am an excellent secret keeper. I have kept all of our secrets.
Joey: What secrets?
Chandler: Oh no-no Joey, I am not going to tell you because I am an excellent secret keeper.
(The girls walk away.)
Joey: (whispering to Chandler) Youll tell me later?
Chandler: You already know.
Opening Credits
[Scene: Joey and Rachel's, Joey and Phoebe are entering.]
Phoebe: Oh, it's so romantic to send people off on their honeymoon.
Joey: Yknow, Monica and Chandler are married. Ross and Rachel are having a baby. Maybe you and I should do something.
Phoebe: All in good time my love. All in good time. Oh shoot! I left my guitar in their apartment. Well you can let me in later.
Joey: I dont have a key, they took mine to give to you.
Phoebe: What?! They took mine to give to you!
Joey: Why would they take away our keys?
Phoebe: Maybe they dont trust us.
Joey: No thats not it. They let me keep my key the last time they were out of town.
Phoebe: You mean the time you broke the ketchup bottle and cleaned it up with Monicas guest towels?
Joey: Hey, I washed those!
Phoebe: No you didnt.
Joey: Yeah that didnt sound like me.
Phoebe: Well, what am I gonna do? I really need my guitar!
Joey: Yeah, I have stuff in there too.
Phoebe: What stuff?
Joey: Monicas chicken parm! Ill take care of it. (He picks up the phone) Hey Mr. Treeger, its Joey Tribbiani. Listen, I need to get into Monica and Chandlers apartment. Its an emergency. (Listens) Uhh, gas leak! Yeah oh, and bring garlic bread. (Hangs up.)
Ross: (entering) Hey! Did Monica and Chandler take off yet?
Joey: Yeah.
Ross: Damn. they left without my pass to the Nassau Fossil and Natural History Museum.
Joey: There goes the honeymoon.
Phoebe: Did Rachel find you?
Ross: No why?
Phoebe: Oh she was looking for you.
Ross: Oh well, I guess Ill catch up with her later.
Phoebe: Well, she really wanted to talk to you now.
Joey: Yeah, it seemed pretty important.
Ross: Oh no.
Phoebe: What?
Ross: I think I might know what this is about.
(Phoebe and Joey trade looks)
Joey: Really?
Ross: Yeah. Uh, uh we promised we werent gonna tell anybody this but uh, about a month ago Rachel and I slept together.
Phoebe: (deadpan) And?
Ross: Wow! I thought you would be a little more shocked.
Phoebe: Oh sorry. (Shocked) And?!
Ross: Well, we-we said wed just do it that one time but, but now I think she may wanna start things up again.
Joey: Yeah, I dont think thats what it is.
Ross: Why? What-what else could it be?
Joey: Oh wow, I dont feel well.
Ross: Im telling you. Im telling you. Thats what it is. No wonder she was looking at me all funny during the wedding. She didnt say anything to you?
Phoebe: (To Joey) Maybe its something you ate?
Joey: Please, just-just, just go and talk to Rachel.
Ross: Yeah, I guess I should. (Starts to leave.) Man, yknow what I have to realize? Maybe Im just not the type of guy women can have just one night with. Yknow, they-they always seem to want a little bit more. I should remember that. (He pauses and then exits.)
[Scene: The Airport Ticket Counter, Monica and Chandler are standing in line behind another couple kissing who are next in line to be served.]
Ticket Agent: Next?
(The kissing couple doesnt move.)
Monica: Theyre kissing lets just go around them.
Chandler: Oh honey, leave them alone, theyre in love.
Monica: Im in love too! But in an orderly fashion.

(The couple moves up to the counter.)
Woman: Sorry. We didnt hear you; were on our honeymoon.

Phoebe: Of course I do! And Im gonna give it back to you as soon as theyre done with it at the key shining place.
(They hear a knocking sound coming from the hallway and go to investigate.)
Joey: What the hell is that?
(They go into the hallway and see Mr. Treeger watching one of New Yorks bravest breakdown Monica and Chandlers door with an ax.]
Joey: Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Treeger, what are you doing?
Mr. Treeger: You said there was a gas leak in here.
Phoebe: Well why dont you use your key?
Mr. Treeger: Because by the time I find it on this thing (Holds up a huge key ring with a thousand keys on it), the whole place might have exploded. If that happens at another building that I manage, people are gonna start asking questions. (To the fireman) Come on! Hurry up.
(With a final swing the door gives way.)
Phoebe: Oh! We could have done that.
[Scene: The Airport, Chandler and Monica are following the previous couple through a tiny hallway that proves this is a set on a sound stage and not an actual airport, and see them enter the first class lounge.]
Monica: Look at that! Look at that! Theyre going into the first class lounge! Do you know what they have in there?
Chandler: No.
Monica: Me neither! We have to get in! (She runs through the door with Chandler in tow.)
Chandler: Just act like you belong.
Monica: Oh my God! Oranges!
Chandler: Shh! (To the guy behind the counter) Nice to see you again. (They tries to walk past him.)
Airline Employee: Uh sir, may I see your tickets please?
Chandler: Yes, of course. (Shows him the tickets.)
Airline Employee: Im sorry, would you move your thumb? I cant see the seat number.
Chandler: Oh thats all right, I have it memorized. Its 1A.
Airline Employee: (grabbing the ticket from him) Sir, this is not a first class ticket. Im sorry.
Chandler: Apology accepted. Excuse us. (They try to enter again.)
Airline Employee: Sir! Im afraid Im gonna have to ask you to leave.
Monica: Fine. (Starts to walk away then she runs over and grabs an orange before she exits.) Go! Go! Go!

Rachel: Ross, there is no pressure on you. Okay? I mean you can as involved as you want. (Ross nods.)
Ross: Yeah, I need uh Im justI dont knowI dont understand, umm, how this happened? We-we used a condom.
Rachel: I know. I know, but yknow condoms only work like 97% of the time.
Ross: What? What? What?!! Well they should put that on the box!!!
Rachel: They do!
Ross: No they dont!!! (He runs to the bedroom to check and returns with his box of condoms.) Well they should put it in huge black letters!!!!
Rachel: Okay Ross come on lets just forget about the condoms.
Ross: Oh well I may as well have!
Rachel: Listen, yknow what? I was really freaked out too when I found out
Ross: Freaked out? Hey no, Im not freaked out! Im indignant! As a consumer!

Ross: (on phone) Yeah Ill press 1! (Presses one which allows Rachel to escape.)
[Scene: Monica and Chandler's, Mr. Treeger has finished inspecting Monica and Chandlers apartment.]
Mr. Treeger: Ive looked everywhere. Theres no gas leak.
Joey: (eating) Huh. So then I can heat this up? (Goes and does so.)
Mr. Treeger: Anyway uh, Ill get moving on that new door.
Phoebe: Oh great! And listen, could you do us a favor and not tell Chandler and Monica about this? Cause yknow umm, they dont-they dont have any kids of their own and-and this door was like a child to them.
Mr. Treeger: Well Im gonna have to put on a new lock, theyll find out anyway.
Phoebe: Oh no.
Mr. Treeger: (measures the top of the doorframe) Whoa! This looks like an all day job, Ill have to cancel my yoga class. (Ross walks up.) Hey Ross!
Ross: Hi.
Mr. Treeger: Could you tell Jasmine that I won't make it to yoga class today?
Ross: Sure.
Mr. Treeger: Namaste. (Bows.)
Ross: Namaste. (Bows.)
(Treeger leaves and Ross notices the door.)
Ross: Oh my God! What happened to the door?!

Ross: You already know dont you?
Phoebe: A little bit.
Joey: How are you doing?
Ross: Okay. Okay. I mean Ill be okay. Its just I dont think I handled it very well.
Joey: Well, what did you say to her?
Ross: Nothing. But the complaint department at the condom company got an earful. And then when I turned around she was gone.
Phoebe: Oh Ross.
Ross: But hey, in my defense I-I just found out condoms are like only 97% effective.
Joey: (shocked) What?
Ross: I gotta go find her.
Joey: Whoa! Hey! Whoa!! Hold up! Are you serious?! So like 3% of the time they dont even work?! Huh? They should put that on the box!

Monica: Yeah! You already got the first class tickets; you got the lounge! I mean we should get free stuff too! I mean youre not the only ones on your honeymoon!
Woman: Well you can have the suite if you want. We dont care about where we stay. Were here to celebrate our love together. We dont have to get free stuff. We just want to be together.

Ross: No, because thats the right thing to do.
Rachel: Yeah, maybe if youre in love. But Ross, we are not in love, are we?
Ross: No but but still you cant possibly do this alone.

Dr. Long: (entering) Am I interrupting?

Scrolling caption: The following scenes were deleted from the episode "The One Where Rachel Tells Ross" and are being presented here for the first time. The story involved Chandler joking with security at an airport and was to air two weeks after the events of September 11, 2001. In light of this, we decided to replace the original story, as part of the history of the show, we hope that the scenes can now be viewed in the spirit which they were originally intended.
[Scene: The airport check-in desk. Monica and Chandler are standing in line.]
Chandler: No problems getting a cab, no traffic. My way totally works.
Monica: Yeah, I feel totally relaxed, totally calm (The guy in front of them moves off) Go go go!!!!
(She pushes Chandler towards he desk)
Ticket Agent: {Transcribes Note: its the same actress as used in the broadcasted version} Lets see, your on the flight to Nassau. Mr. Bing, you'll be in 25J, and Mrs. Bing, you'll be in 25K.
Monica: (laughs) Mrs. Bing
Ticket Agent: I is s funny name.
Chandler: She's not laughing at the name. We just got married, we're going on your honeymoon.
Ticket Agent: Oh, really. Congratulations. You know what, let me see what I can do. There was a cancellation, I can bump you up to first class.
Chandler: wow, thank you. (to Monica) You see, if we gotten here earlier, those seats might not have been available. Compromise works.
Monica: My name is Mrs. Bing. Haven't I compromised enough?
[Scene: The metal detector at the airport. Monica is taking off anything that could set the alarm off]
A guy standing behind them: Could you hurry up?
Monica: Hey, I've never set one of these off before, and I'm not about to start now. (starts to walk, but them realises something) Oh one sec. (she takes off her anklet, then to the security officer.) My anklet, that was a close one. (she walks through the detector and it doesn't go off) Yes!!!
(Chandler casually strolls through. He sees a sign about airport security.)
Chandler: Hey look at that. (reading) "federal law prohibits any joking regarding aircraft high-jacking or bombing". (to the security officer.) You don't have anything to worry about ma'am, I take my bombs very seriously.
Police Officer: (coming in from out of shot, and grabbing Chandler) Sir you wanna come with us?
Monica: No wait, Chandler wait! (she grabs her bag and runs through the metal detector.) that doesn't count! backwards doesn't count! (she runs after Chandler)
[Scene: The interrogation room. Monica and Chandler are sitting down, and two officers are questioning them]
Chandler: Look, this is ridiculous. I was just making a joke. I mean I know the sign says "no jokes about bombs", but shouldn't it say "no bombs"? I mean, isn't that the guy we really have to worry about here? The guy with the bombs? Not the guy who jokes about his bombs? Not that I have bombs. I I did, I probably wouldn't joke about them. I'd probably wanna keep that rather quite. I'm sorry, you had some questions fro me?
Officer #1: Miss, what is our association with this man?
Monica: He's my husband
Officer #1: I see.
Monica: But only for a few days, I mean, I don't know what he does when he's outside the house.
Chandler: Thank you darling. (to the officers) You see, this is the first time we're travelling "my way" so its very important that we make this flight. It's no of those "her plan versus my plan" kinda things.
Officer #2: What do you mean my "plan"?
Chandler: You should really just ask me yes or no questions.
(The first officer picks up Monica's suitcase.)
Monica: Oh, er... no, that's not hi bag, that's my bag.
Officer #2: It's just procedure.
Monica: No, no, no... you don't understand. You see, everything is packed perfectly. It took me forever to do this. There's like over 50 folded pieces. (He starts randomly taking pieces out) You're mean.
[Scene: The interrogation room. It's a bit later and the officers have finished.]
Officer #1: Alright, you're free to go.
Chandler: Thanks you. Thanks. And listen, about those Speedo's, I don't know how they go in there.
(They leave the room, and Monica's phone rings)
Joey: (from inside Monica and Chandler's apartment) Hey, it's Joey. Listen, Phoebe and I smell gas coming from your apartment.
Monica: What? Are you serious? (To Chandler) Joey smells gas.
Chandler: What else is new?
Joey: Yeah, and we'd do check it out, but you took away our keys.
Monica: Well do something.
Joey: You want us to break down the door?
Monica: Yes!!!
Joey: And you won't blame us for any damage?
Monica: No!!!
Joey: Ok, are you sure you want us to do this?
Monica: No, I want you to stand around and wait for the whole place to blow up!
Officer #1: Step back inside please.
(They reluctantly do so)
