Description

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...
