Hey!
Guess who's a finalist for a huge research grant!
I'll give you a hint, he's looking right at you.
Ah, well, unless it's the creepy guy with his hand up his kilt, I'm gonna say congratulations!
Oh, I'm so excited, I mean, apparently I beat out hundreds of other applicants
included five guys I went to graduate school with. Not that I'm keeping score or anything... five!
Wow, that's great! So, tell me about the grant!
Well, ok, it's for 25 thousand dollars. And if I get it, I'll finally be able to complete my field research!
And there will be an article about me in the "Paleontology Review"! Yeah!
That'll be the first time my name is in there, without people raising serious questions about my work!
Wait. Are you talking about the Dewar grant?
Yeah. Why?
Benjamin Hobart is administering that grant.
- Your ex-boyfriend?
- Yeah.
So, your ex-boyfriend is gonna determine if your new boyfriend gets this grant? Wow, your new boyfriend is screwed!
No, no, we ended up in great terms.
I mean, if anything, I think this could help you.
You know what? Why don't we all go out to dinner together, and I can introduce you.
Well, if you think it would help.
Yes, absolutely. I'll call him.
Ok, now, is there anything I can do to... you know, butter him up? Anything he really likes?
Mmh... he does have a pretty serious latex fetish.
We'll see how dinner goes.
- Hey!
- Hey, you wanna go to see a movie?
Well, I told you I had to spend all the day clearing out stuff, so Mike could move in.
- Oh, right.
- Yeah.
Oh, well. Now that I'm here I might as well help you with the cleaning and organizing!
Just happen to have my label maker!
Oh, it's so hard to get rid of stuff!
Did you and Chandler have to make compromises when you first moved in together?
Uh, Chandler did!
What does he want you to give up?
A bunch of stuff. And the worst one... he wants me to get rid of Gladys.
Who's Gladys?
Oh! What a tragic loss!
Yeah. I really hate to give her up.
Oh, I know!! Oh, you should take her!
Well, I-I-I-I... I don't know...
Why, you don't like her?
Well, of course I do. What's not to like!
I'll take her in a minute!
But, you know, I think that you're giving up too easy, honey. I think that you need to fight for her!
Really? You think?
Absolutely! Yes, you say to him "I'm sorry Mike I can't live without her, she means too much to me!"
Ok, I'll fight for her. Ok!
Oh, wait, oh I just realized... if I do that, that means you don't get her.
Damn it, I did not think this through!
Hey you guys.
Hi!
Oh! Any word on casting yet?
Joe, I told you, you're just not right for the part.
What do you mean? Rach, don't I seem like a professor you'd buy some kind of e-crap from?
I'm sorry, this sounds like something I'm never gonna be interested in.
Look, c'mon, please? It's not like I'm asking for some crazy favour.
This is what I do for a living. I am a professional actor!
Oh, man, I'm two hours late for work!
Look, here's a copy of my reels. It's got all the commercials that I've been in.
Joe...
Just watch it, and if you don't like it, you don't pass it on to your bosses!
Fine!
Thank you.
Work, Joe!
Damn it!
What am I gonna do now?
Just pass it to your boss!
He's not right for the part. So if I suggest him, my bosses are gonna think I'm an idiot!
And that's something they should learn on their own!
Just tell Joey that you watched the tape and you liked it, but your bosses didn't.
Then that way, you're the good guy and they're the bad guys.
That's good! I liked it, they didn't.
Joey, for God's sake, go to work!
I can't believe I'm about to meet Benjamin Hobart.
I've always thought of him as one of the people I'd invite to my fantasy dinner party.
Do you think there's any chance he'll bring Christie Brinkley or C3PO?
Sorry, looks like it's just him.
Charlie!
My God, you look absolutely stunning!
Well, I... I am having a good hair day.
- So good to see you.
- Me too.
I'm ok.
I'm sorry... Ross
