Description

[Scene: A Street: Monica and Phoebe are walking to a newsstand.]

Phoebe: Do you think they have yesterday&`&s daily news?

Monica: Why?

Phoebe: Just wanna check my horoscope, see if it was right.

Monica: Oh my God. (Grabs Phoebe and turns her away) Phoebe. Don&`&t look now, but behind us is a guy who has the potential to break our hearts and plunge us into a pit of depression.

Phoebe: Where? (Turns to face him) Ooh, come to Momma.

Monica: He&`&s coming. Be cool, be cool, be cool.

(The guy walks past them)

Guy: Nice hat.

Monica and Phoebe: (in unison) Thanks.

(The guy walks on)

Phoebe: We should do something. Whistle.

Monica: We are not going to whistle.

Phoebe: Come on, do it.

Monica: No!

Phoebe: Do it!

Monica: No!

Phoebe: Do it do it do it!

Monica: (Shouts to the guy) Woo-woo!

(The guy turns round, startled. Monica points to Phoebe. The guy gets hit by a truck)

Phoebe: I can&`&t believe you did that!

........


[Scene: Hospital, the guy is in a coma and Mon and Pheebs are visiting.]

Monica: I wish we at least knew his name... Look at that face. I mean, even sleeping, he looks smart. I bet he&`&s a lawyer.

Phoebe: Yeah, but did you see the dents in his knuckles? That means he&`&s artistic.

Monica: Okay, he&`&s a lawyer, who teaches sculpting on the side. And- he can dance!

Phoebe: Oh! And, he&`&s the kinda guy who, when you&`&re talking, he&`&s listening, y&`&know, and not saying &`&Yeah, I understand&`& but really wondering what you look like naked.

Monica: I wish all guys could be like him.

Phoebe: I know.

..........

[Scene: The Coma Guy&`&s Room, Monica bursts in, closely followed by Phoebe. There is no sign of Coma Guy. His bed is empty.]

Monica: Oh! You&`&re awake!

Phoebe: Look at you! How, how do you feel?

Coma Guy: Uh, a little woozy, but basically okay.

Monica: You look good!

Coma Guy: I feel good! ...Who are you?

Monica: Oh, sorry.

Phoebe: I&`&m Phoebe Buffay.

Monica: I&`&m Monica Geller. I&`&ve been taking care of you.

Phoebe: Well, we both have.

Coma Guy: So, the Etch-a-Sketch is from you guys?

Phoebe: Well, actually it&`&s just from me.

Monica: I got you the foot massager.

Phoebe: You know who shaved you? That was me.

Monica: I read to you.

Phoebe: I sang. (To Monica) Hah!

Coma Guy: Well,... thanks.

Monica: Oh, my pleasure.

Phoebe: You&`&re welcome.

Coma Guy: So. I guess I&`&ll see you around.

Phoebe: What, that&`&s it?

Monica: "See you around?"

Coma Guy: Well, what do you want me to say?

Monica: Oh, I don&`&t know. Maybe, um, "That was nice?" Admit something to me? "I&`&ll call you?"

Coma Guy: Alright, I&`&ll call you.

Phoebe: I don&`&t think you mean that.

Monica: This is so typical. Y&`&know, we give, and we give, and we give. And then- we just get nothing back! And then one day, y&`&know, it&`&s just, you wake up, and "See you around!" Let&`&s go, Phoebe.

Phoebe: Y&`&know what? We thought you were different. But I guess it was just the coma.
