Scene 1
Mrs. Bing: What is with you tonight?
Ross: Nothing. Nothing nothing nothing.
Mrs. Bing: Oh, Ross, listen to me. I have sold a hundred million copies of my books, and y&`&know why?
Ross: The girl on the cover with her nipples showing?
Mrs. Bing: No. Because I know how to write men that women fall in love with. Believe me, I cannot sell a Paolo. People will not turn three hundred twenty-five pages for a Paolo. C&`&mon, the guy&`&s a secondary character, a, y&`&know, complication you eventually kill off.
Ross: When?
Mrs. Bing: He&`&s not a hero. ...You know who our hero is.
Ross: The guy on the cover with his nipples showing?
Mrs. Bing: No, it&`&s you!
Ross: Please.
Mrs. Bing: No, really, c&`&mon. You&`&re smart, you&`&re sexy...
Ross: Right.
Mrs. Bing: You are gonna be fine, believe me.
(She kisses him on the cheek)
Scene 2
Ross: Okay, uh, about last night, um, Chandler.. you didn&`&t tell... (Joey shakes his head) Okay, &`&cause I&`&m thinking- we don&`&t need to tell Chandler, I mean, it was just a kiss, right? One kiss? No big deal? Right?
Joey: Right. No big deal.
Ross: Okay.
Joey: In Bizarro World!! You broke the code!
Ross: What code?
Joey: You don&`&t kiss your friend&`&s mom! Sisters are okay, maybe a hot-lookin&`& aunt... but not a mom, never a mom!
Ross: Okay, I&`&m scum, I&`&m scum.
Joey: Ross, how could you let this happen?
Ross: I don&`&t know, God, I... well, it&`&s not like she&`&s a regular mom, y&`&know? She&`&s, she&`&s sexy, she&`&s...
Joey: You don&`&t think my mom&`&s sexy?
Ross: Well... not in the same way...
Joey: I&`&ll have you know that Gloria Tribbiani was a handsome woman in her day, alright? You think it&`&s easy giving birth to seven children?
Ross: Okay, I think we&`&re getting into a weird area here...
