marriage. And-and always will be!
Well there's some people who do want to marry me.
There are?
Yeah! Richard!
R-R-Richard said he wants to marry you?!
And-and Chandler's tellin' ya how much he hates marriage?!
That's right.
Chandler loves marriage!!
You just told me that he hates marriage!
That-that he's a-a complex fellow who's unlikely to take a wife!
That-that he's against marriage and always will be!
You got that from what I said?!
Rach!
Hey you!
- Hey, come on in.
- Oh thank you.
Hey y'know, I'm so sorry to hear about you and Elizabeth.
Oh, thanks. Yeah, I really thought we'd be able to make it work, but uh, I guess it just wasn't meant to be.
Yeah, love.
It's a tricky business isn't it?
I guess so.
So what do you say we make a pact?
If you and I are both single by the time we're 40, we get married
I mean, we know each other, we like each other,
and we've-we've already slept together so y'know there'll be no surprises there!
You know what I mean? No like, "What's that?!"
Right. Ohh! You-you want me to be your backup.
Exactly.
Ohh, yeah I already have one.
What? Who?
- Phoebe.
- Phoebe?!
Wait a? but-but she just, she said that Joey was her backup.
Ohh, I don't think so.
Ross! I just had a conversation with her, and she said that she and Joey made a deal!
That's impossible!
I mean we have had a deal for years! We-we-we shook on it,
although believe me she wanted to do a lot more than that.
Where the hell have you been?!
I was making a coconut phone with the professor.
Richard told Monica he wants to marry her!
What?!
Yeah! Yeah, I've been trying to find ya to tell to stop messing with her
and maybe I would have if these damn boat shoes wouldn't keep flying off!
My? Oh my God!
I know! They suck!!
He's not supposed to ask my girlfriend to marry him!
- I'm supposed to do that!
- I know!
Well what... Y'know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna go over there;
I'm gonna kick his ass!
Will you help me?!
Look, Chandler I don't think us getting our asses kicked is a solution. Okay?
Just go and find Monica!
- You're right.
- Yeah! - Okay.
I'm gonna get the ring!
I'm gonna get the ring!
I'm gonna go find her and I'm just going to propose!
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Dude-dude-dude!
- What?!
Let me know about that coconut phone, it might great for the boat.
Hi.
Hi.
I don't know why I'm here.
I didn't ask.
You wanna come in?
I don't know.
Oh, okay.
Well, I'll just leave the door open and go sit on the couch.
Chandler is such an idiot!
Drink?
- Yeah, I'll have a scotch...
- ...on the rocks with a twist?
I remember.
Still smoking cigars?
Uh, no! No! That's...art!
If it bothers you I can put my art out.
No that's okay.
So Monica
let me ask you a question.
Y'know, since we broke up do you ever,
think about me?
Uh yeah, I-I actually I thought about you a couple months ago.
Oh really?
Yeah but it was because I-I had an eye exam and I don't like my new eye doctor.
Who is it?
Edward Nevski?
Yeah he's no good.
Do you ever think about me
in a non-eye doctor way?
No.
Ahh.
But getting over was the hardest thing that I've ever had to do.
And I never let myself think about you.
Phoebe!
You picked Joey and Ross?! You can not have two backups!
Of course I can!
It's just good sense to backup your backup!
Look, I've already lost Chandler!
What?!
- Hey!
- Hey! Phoebe!
We're both your backup?!
Phoebe, how could you do this to me?!
I don’t? Look I don't know what you're complaining about now?
You were both aware of the situation!
- No we weren't!
- I was not!
Okay, this kind of back talk is not gonna fly when we're married!
Phoebe you can't have both of them! You have to pick one!
Pick me!!
No! Pick me! I don't want to end up an old maid!
All right well let's see,
Ross is a good father, but
Joey has a boat? This is hard!
This is crazy! Hey look, I wanna switch to Rachel!
Ooh, I wanna switch to Rachel too!
No wait! Just? Okay? Just wait!
You guys! Wait you
