He looks like he’s going to throw up.) (Lying) All gone! So good! Maybe Chandler has some left. [Rachel leaves to the balcony.] Ross: It tastes like feet! Joey: I like it. Ross: Are you kidding? Joey: What’s not to like? Custard? Good. Jam? Good. Meat? Gooooood. The one with the rumour. Season 8, Episode 9. (Lesson 3). Monica: All right okay, just so you know, I’m not gonna make a turkey this year. Joey: What?! Monica: Well Phoebe doesn’t eat turkey… Joey: Phoebe! Phoebe: Turkey’s are beautiful, intelligent animals! Joey: No they’re not! They’re ugly and stupid and delicious! Monica: All right! Okay, it’s just Phoebe. Will’s still on a diet, Chandler doesn’t eat Thanksgiving food, and Rachel’s having her aversion to poultry. Joey: She is? Rachel: Remember I had to leave the room the other day when you had that roast chicken? Joey: Yeah. But I thought that was because I put the whole thing on my hand and made it walk across the table. 17 Monica: Anyway, it just doesn’t seem worth it to make a whole turkey for just three people. Okay? It’s a lot of work. Joey: But you gotta have turkey on Thanksgiving! I mean, Thanksgiving with no turkey is like-like Fourth of July with no apple pie! Or Friday with no two pizzas! Monica: All right fine! If it means that much to you! But just—there’s gonna be a ton left over. Joey: No there won’t! I promise I will finish that turkey! Monica: All right, you’re telling me you can eat an entire turkey in just one sitting? Joey: That’s right! ‘Cause I’m a Tribbiani! (To Rachel) And this is what we do! I mean we may not be great thinkers or world leaders, we don’t read a lot or run very fast, but damnit! We can eat! (Joey enters eating potato chips.) Monica: Hey, what are you doing? You gotta save room, you’ve got almost an entire turkey to eat. Joey: Let me explain to you how the human body works. I have to warm my stomach first. Eatin’ chips is like stretching. Monica: All right. Joey: Don’t worry, Tribbianis never get full. (Monica sets something on the table and removes the cover. It kinda looks like turkey.) Joey: That’s it?! Even if nobody helps me I can eat that no problem. At least give me a challenge! Monica: (laughs) This is Chandler’s chicken. This is the turkey. (Sets down a huge turkey.) Joey: (quietly) Oh. How-how big is that? 18 Monica: About nineteen pounds. Joey: (To Rachel) It’s like me when I was born. [Time Lapse, dinner has ended for everyone except Joey who looks like to have finished the turkey, until he turns the plate around and reveals he only ate one side.] Joey: You are my Everest. Monica: Joey, you don’t have to finish that. Joey: Oh yes I do. Otherwise what’s next? Today I’m just a guy who can’t finish a turkey, but tomorrow I’m the guy who eats half a Powerbar, wraps up the rest, and puts in the fridge? No! No, I just…I just—I gotta change my pants. (Gets up and heads for the door.) Jeans have no give. (Exits.) Rachel: (entering carrying a book) Okay! Okay! Listen to what Sean McMahon wrote in my yearbook senior year, "Dear Rach, you’re such a good person." Not girl! Person! Ross: Rach, I think you’re reading a little too much into it. Joey: (entering, wearing the maternity pants) All right where’s that turkey! Phoebe: Joey! Those are my maternity pants! Joey: Not now! These are my Thanksgiving pants! [Scene: Monica and Chandler’s, Will has left and the rest of the gang is watching Joey finish the turkey.] Joey: Well that’s it. I’m done. Whew! (Wipes his forehead.) There come the meat sweats. (Chandler hands him a towel and he wipes his face.) Monica: Well Joey, we’re all…we’re all very proud of you. Chandler: Yes, I believe we can expect a call from the President any moment now. Phoebe: Is there anything we can do for you? 19 Joey: No just, nobody press on my stomach. Rachel: You can keep those pants by the way. (Joey notices Monica has gotten a pie.) Joey: Whoa—hey—wh-wh-what do you got there? What is that? Pie? Monica: Yeah, you want some? Joey: Ah, just cut me a little sliver. (Monica prepares to cut a little sliver.) A little bigger.
