[Scene: Monica and Rachel&`&s, Rachel folding and packing clothes in suitcases as Phoebe enters.]

Phoebe: Um, um, Rachel can we talk for a sec?

Rachel: Well, sure...just a sec, though, &`&cause Paolo&`&s on his way over.

Phoebe: Oh! (sits down) Ok, um, ok, um,

Rachel: Oh, Pheebs, Pheebs...

Phoebe: Ok, um, (clears throat) we haven&`&t known each other for that long a time, and, um, there are three things that you should know about me. One, my friends are the most important thing in my life, two, I never lie, and three, I make the best oatmeal raisin cookies in the world. (Phoebe opens a tin and offers Rachel a cookie)

Rachel: (taking cookie) Ok, thanks Pheebs (takes bite of cookie, overwhelmed) Oh my God, why have I never tasted these before?!

Phoebe: Oh, I don&`&t make them a lot because I don&`&t think it&`&s fair to the other cookies.

Rachel: All right, well, you&`&re right, these are the best oatmeal cookies I&`&ve ever had.

Phoebe: Which proves that I never lie.

Rachel: I guess you don&`&t.

Phoebe: Paolo made a pass at me.

(Rachel looks stunned)

Rachel: I feel so stupid! Oh, I think about the other day with you guys and I was all "Oh, Paolo, he&`&s so great, he makes me feel so..." Oh, God, I&`&m so embarrassed!

Phoebe: I&`&m so embarrassed, I&`&m the one he hit on!

Rachel: Pheebs, if I had never met him this never would have happened!

Rachel and Phoebe: I&`&m so sorry! No I&`&m sorry! No I&`&m sorry! No I&`&m sorry!

Phoebe: No, wait, oh, what are we sorry about?

Rachel: I don&`&t know...right, he&`&s the pig!

Phoebe: Such a pig!

Rachel: Oh, God, he&`&s such a pig,

Phoebe: Oh he&`&s like a...

Rachel: He&`&s like a big disgusting...

Phoebe: ...like a...

Rachel: ...pig...pig man!

Phoebe: Yes, good! Ok...

Rachel: (voice wavers) Oh, but he was my pig man...how did I not see this?

Phoebe: (raises hand) Oh! I know! (Rachel startled) It&`&s because... he&`&s gorgeous, and he&`&s champ3ing, and when he looks at you...

Rachel: Ok, Ok, Pheebs...

Phoebe: The end.

Rachel: Oh, God...

Phoebe: Should I not have told you?

Rachel: No, no, trust, me, it&`&s, it&`&s, it&`&s much better that I know. Uh, I just liked it better before it was better...

(Phoebe scoots her chair over to Rachel and hugs her)
