【老友记109】❸ Underdog has gotten away

Scene 1 [Scene: Monica and Rachel&`&s, Monica is cooking Thanksgiving dinner. Chandler is standing in the doorway, not wanting to participate in the festivities.] Monica: Mmm, looking good. Ok, cider&`&smulling, turkey&`&s turking, yams are yamming. (notices Ross is depressed) What? Ross: I don&`&t know. It&`&s just not the same without Mom in the kitchen. Monica: All right, that&`&s it. You know what? Just get out of my way and stop complaining. Ross: That&`&s closer. (Rachel enters, excited.) Rachel: I got the tickets! I got the tickets! Five hours from now, shoop, shoop, shoop. Chandler: Oh, you must stop shooping. Rachel: Ok, I&`&m gonna get my stuff. Joey: Chandler, will you just come in already? Chandler: No, I prefer to keep a safe distance from all this merriment. (Phoebe takes a slice of pumpkin pie and waves it in front of Chandler&`&sface.) Phoebe: Look out, incoming pumpkin pie! Chandler: Ok, we all laughed when you did it with the stuffing, but that&`&s not funny anymore. (Chandler leaves.) Joey: Hey, Monica, I got a question. I don&`&t see any tater tots. Monica: That&`&s not a question. Joey: But my mom always makes them. It&`&s like a tradition. You get a little piece of turkey on your fork, a little cranberry sauce, and a tot! It&`&s bad enough I can&`&t be with my family because of my disease. Monica: All right, fine. Tonight&`&s potatoes will be both mashed with lumps, and in the form of tots. Phoebe: (stirring pot) Ok, all done. Monica: What, Phoebe, did you whip the potatoes? Ross needs lumps! Phoebe: Oh, I&`&m sorry, oh, I just, I thought we could have them whipped and then add some peas and onions. Monica: Why would we do that? Phoebe: Well, &`&cause then they&`&d be like my mom used to make them, you know, before she died. Monica: Ok, three kinds of potatoes coming up. (Chandler enters, running.) Chandler: The most unbelievable thing has happened. Underdog has just gotten away. Joey: The balloon? Chandler: No, no, the actual cartoon character. Of course the balloon. It&`&s all over the news. Right before he reached Macy&`&s, he broke free and was spotted flying over Washington Square Park.I&`&m goin&`& to the roof, who&`&s with me? Rachel: I can&`&t, I gotta go. Chandler: Come on. An 80-foot inflatable dog let loose over the city. How often does that happen? Phoebe: Almost never. Monica: Got the keys? Rachel: Ok. (Everyone leaves the apartment.)
