Friends (1994–2004): Season 1, Episode 4 - The One with George Stephanopoulos - full transcript

All right, Phoebe?

If I were omnipotent for a day,
I would want world peace...

...no hunger, good things
for the rain forest.

And bigger boobs.

Well, see, you took mine.

What about you?

If I were omnipotent for a day,
I'd make myself omnipotent forever.

There's always one guy. "lf I had a
wish, I'd wish for three more wishes. "

Hey, Joey.

What would you do
if you were omnipotent?

Probably kill myself.



Excuse me?

If little Joey's dead,
then I got no reason to live.

Joey, omnipotent.

You are?

Ross, l' m sorry. I had no idea. I
thought it was a theoretical question.

The One With the George Stephanopoulos

How does she do that?

I can't sleep in a public place.

Libraries, airplanes,
movie theaters....

You slept at the Grand Canyon.

Hello, Mom and Dad never took us
to the Grand Canyon.

Mom and Dad took us
to the Grand Canyon?

Would you look at her?
She is so peaceful.

Yeah.



What? What? What?

-Hi.
-It's okay. You just nodded off again.

What's going on?

I got no sleep last night. My
grandmother has a new boyfriend...

...and they' re both kind of insecure
in bed, so And deaf.

They reassure each other
that they' re having a good time.

You have no idea how loud they are.

-You can stay with Rachel and me.
-Thanks.

95, 96, 97. See, I told you.

Less than 1 00 steps
from our place to here.

You got way too much free time, man.

There's the birthday boy.

Hockey tickets. Rangers-Penguins
tonight and we're taking you.

-Happy birthday, pal!
-We love you, man.

It's funny. My birthday
was seven months ago.

-So?
-So you had an extra ticket...

...and couldn't decide
who got to bring a date?

Well, aren't we
Mr. The-Glass-ls-Half-Empty?

Oh, my God! Is today the 20th?
October 20th?

-I hoped you wouldn't remember.
-What's wrong with the 20th?

Eleven days before Halloween.
All the good costumes are gone?

T oday's the day Carol and I first...

...consummated our...

... physical relationship.

Sex.

-You told your sister that?
-Believe me, I told everyone.

I better pass on the game.

I'm just gonna go home and think about
my ex-wife and her lesbian lover.

The hell with hockey!
Let's all do that!

Come on, Ross! You, me, Joey, ice!
Guys' night out!

Come on, what do you say, big guy?

-What are you doing?
-I have no idea.

-Come on, Ross.
-Maybe it will take my mind off it.

-Promise to buy me a big foam finger?
-You got it.

Look, look, look! My first paycheck!

Look at the window!
There's my name! Hi, me!

I remember when
I got my first paycheck.

There was a cave-in in a mine,
and eight people were killed.

-You worked in a mine?
-No, I worked at a Dairy Queen. Why?

Isn't this exciting? I earned this.
I wiped tables for it. I steamed milk.

And it was totally...

... not worth it.

What's FlCA?
Why's he getting all my money?

I mean, what?
Chandler, look at that.

This is not that bad.

You're fine, yeah, for a first job.

You can totally,
totally live on this.

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

-By the way, great service today.
-Yeah.

-Hockey!
-Hockey!

-Hockey!
-Hockey.

Rachel?

Oh, my God!

I swear I've seen birds
do this on Wild Kingdom.

What are you doing here?

We were in the city shopping, and your
mom said you work here, and it's true!

Look at you in the apron.
You look like you're in a play.

God, look at you! You're so big!
I can't believe it!

I know, I know! I'm a duplex.

IKiki, you look phenomenal. I mean,
you've lost, like, a ton of weight.

And you should...

... really, really It's time to stop,
you look perfect.

What's going on?

Well, guess who my dad's
making partner in his firm?

And while we're on
the subject of news....

Look, look! I have elbows!

Passes it up to Leetch.

Leetch spots Messier. Here's the pass!

We'll take a time-out while Messier
looks at some women's shoes.

Carol was wearing boots just like
those the night that we first....

You know? In fact, she....

She never took them off.

It's because we Sorry, sorry.

I can't believe

-What?
-Peach pit.

Yes, bunny?

Peach pit. That night, we had

-Peaches?
-Actually, nectarines but....

Could've been a peach.

Then we Then we got dressed
and I walked her to...

...the bus stop. I' m fine.

Hey, that woman's got
an ass like Carol's.

What? I thought we were
trying to find stuff.

Come on, you guys.
T ell me all the dirt.

Well, the biggest news is still you
dumping Barry at the altar.

-Let's talk reality for a second.
-Okay.

-When are you coming home?
-What? Guys, l' m not.

-Come on. This is us.
-l' m not.

This is what l' m doing now.
I've got this job.

I even do my own laundry.

-This is what l' m doing now.
-Waitressing?

I' m not just waitressing.
I mean, l' m....

I write the specials
on the specials board.

And I take the dead flowers
out of the vase.

Sometimes Arturo lets me put the
chocolate blobbies on the cookies.

Well, your mom didn't tell us
about the blobbies.

Hey, Rach.
How was it with your friends?

Okay, how would you like
some Tiki Death punch?

-What's that?
-Well, it's rum and

Okay.

Since Phoebe's staying,
we'll have a slumber party.

We got trashy magazines.
We got cookie dough. We got Twister.

And I brought Operation. But I lost
the tweezers so we can't operate.

But we can prep the guy.

-Rach, it's the Visa card people.
-Oh, God. Ask them what they want.

Could you please tell me
what this is in reference to?

There's been unusual
activity on your account.

I haven't used my card in weeks.

That is the unusual activity.

They wanna see if you're okay.

They wanna know if I'm okay?
Okay, let's see.

Well, let's see.
The FlCA guys took all my money.

Everyone is getting married
or pregnant or promoted.

And I'm getting coffee.
And it's not even for me!

If that sounds like I'm okay,
then tell them I'm okay. Okay?

Rachel has left the building.
Can you call back?

All right! Come on!

Let's play Twister!

-Sorry.
-Sorry. Sorry, sorry.

There was ice that night with Carol?
Plastic seats?

Four thousand angry Pittsburgh fans?

No, I was just saying
we're not sitting together.

But now that you mention it,
there was ice that night.

It was the first frost.

Sit. Just sit down. Sit.

You're doing
this amazing independent thing.

Monica, what is so amazing?

I gave up, like, everything.
And for what?

-You are just like Jack.
-Jack from downstairs?

No, Jack and the Beanstalk.

Ah, the other Jack.

Right. He gave up something
but then he got those magic beans.

And then he woke up
and there was this big plant...

...outside of his window,
full of possibilities.

He lived in a village,
and you live in the Village.

Okay. But, Pheebs, Jack gave up a cow.
I gave up an orthodontist.

-Okay, I know I didn't love him....
-Oh, see, Jack did love the cow.

But, see, it was a plan. It was clear.

Everything was figured out.
Now it's like....

-Floopy?
-Yeah.

We don't know where we' re going.

It's all gonna come together
and it's just gonna be un-floopy.

Yeah, like that's a word.

Okay. But Monica, what if
it doesn't come together?

Pheebs?

Well, because you just
I don't like this question.

See, you guys?
What if we don't get magic beans?

I mean, what if all
we've got are beans?

Get him! Get him! Get him!

Yes! You're not laughing now,
are you, pal?

All you needed were guys
hitting each other with sticks.

Pass it! Pass it!

-He's open! He's open!
-Shoot it! Shoot it!

Hey, look, we're on that TV thing.

Excuse me?

It says to call if you're not
satisfied with this candy bar.

Well, I'm not completely satisfied.

Well, the label
promises nutty goodness.

It's an emergency. But you know that,
or we'd be in the predicament room.

Hold on. Fill these out.
Sit over there!

I don't want to make any trouble
but I'm in a lot of pain.

-My face is dented.
-Well, you'll have to wait your turn.

-How long do you think it will be?
-Any minute now.

Hey, this

I' m so sorry, you guys.
I didn't mean to bring you down.

No, you were right.
I don't have a plan.

-Pizza guy.
-Food!

-Phoebe?
-What?

-Do you have a plan?
-I don't even have a " pla. "

One mushroom, green pepper and onion?

No, no, no.
That's not what we ordered!

We ordered a fat-free crust
with extra cheese!

Wait. You' re not G. Stephanopoulos?
Man, my dad's gonna kill me!

Wait! Did you say G. Stephanopoulos?

Yeah, this one goes across the street.
I gave him yours. Bonehead! Bonehead!

When you do that,
you're only hitting yourself.

Was this a small Mediterranean guy
with curiously intelligent good looks?

-That sounds right.
-Was he wearing a stunning blue suit?

-And a power tie?
-No, pretty much just a towel.

-Oh, God!
-You guys want me to take this back?

What, are you nuts? We've got
George Stephanopoulos' pizza!

Pheebs, who's George Snuffleupagus?

That's Big Bird's friend.

-I see pizza!
-I want to see. Let me see.

Hello! Who are we spying on?

White House adviser,
Clinton's campaign guy.

The one with the great hair,
sexy smile, cute butt.

Oh, him! The little guy.
Oh, I love him!

-Wait. Wait, I see a woman.
-T ell me it's his mother.

-Definitely not his mother.
-Oh, no!

Wait, she's walking across the floor.
She's walking, she's walking....

She's going for the pizza
That's not for you, bitch!

We've been here for over an hour,
and people less sick have gone in.

That guy with the toe thing,
who's he sleeping with?

Oh, come on, Dora. Don't be mad.

I know we both said some things...

...we didn't mean but that doesn't
mean we still don't love each other.

You know, I feel like I've lost her.

-Come on, push me.
-No.

-Push me.
-We' re gonna get in trouble.

Don't be a baby. Push me. Push me.

All right. I' m gonna push you, okay?
How about I push you like this?

Now you're gonna be in a wheelchair
the rest of your life, pally-wally....

I am so very sorry. Can I sign you?

-Lights still out?
-Yeah.

Well, maybe they' re napping.

-Please. They' re having sex.
-Shut up!

So, what do you think George is like?

-I think he's shy.
-Yeah.

Yeah. I think you have
to draw him out.

And then when you do,
he's a preppy animal.

-What do you think of the guys?
-Our guys?

-Yeah, our guys.
-I feel funny talking about that.

-Oh, come on.
-Okay. Well....

I think Joey's like
a little kiddie ride.

You just have to put the quarter in
and it just goes.

He might surprise you. One time,
he helped me put on my coat...

...and he was really tender.

Come on, baby, come on. Let's go.

Yes!

Chandler's one of those repressed guys
who you'd have to seduce.

I think it's an act. Chandler is
more sophisticated than he seems.

-You know who's kind of sexy?
-Don't.

-Ross.
-No, guys. Please, he is my brother.

I know exactly what you mean.
He can be really smooth.

Can't you just picture him in bed?

I really don't want to.

Come on, laugh. Laugh.

I remember the moonlight coming in the
window, and her face had the most...

...incredible glow.

The moon, the glow,
the magical feeling. You did this.

Could I get some painkillers
over here, please?

He's right. Enough.
What's the big deal about today?

So you slept with her
for the first time.

You slept with her
for seven years after that.

It's a little more complicated

What is it, that she left you
for another woman that likes women?

Louder. There's a man on the 1 2th
floor in a coma who didn't hear you.

Then, what?

My first time with Carol was...

...was my....

What?

It was my first time.

With Carol?

Oh.

So, in your whole life,
you've only been with one?

Oh, boy. Hockey was a big mistake.

There's a bunch of stuff
we could've done tonight.

Okay, I got one.

Do you remember
that vegetarian pate...

...that I made that you loved so much?

Well, unless goose is a vegetable!

Now I don't feel so bad
about sleeping with Jason Hurley.

-What? You slept with Jason?
-You had already broken up.

-How long?
-Just a couple hours.

-Oh, that's nice!
-Okay, okay, okay, I got one!

Anyway, the valentine T om left in
your locker was really from me!

Excuse me?

Hello! Like he was really
gonna send you one.

She was a big girl!

Really? Well, at least big girls don't
pee in their pants in seventh grade!

I was laughing. You made me laugh!

Oh, my God! There he is! There he is!

-Where?
-Where we've been looking all night.

-He's so cute.
-George, baby, drop the towel.

-Come on, drop the towel.
-Drop it. Will you please drop it?

Wow!

Man, can you believe
he's only had sex with one woman?

I think it's great.
You know, it's sweet.

It's romantic.

Really?

You kidding? The guy's a freak.
I judge him.

-Hey, man!
-Hey, buddy!

Oh, that's attractive.

I thought you were great
in Silence of the Lambs.

Admit it, all things considered,
you had fun tonight.

Fun? Where was the fun?
T ell me which part was fun.

Where's my puck?

-The kid has it.
-The kid

Excuse me, that's my puck.

I found it.
Finders keepers, losers weepers.

You gotta do it, man.

I' m rubber, you' re glue.
Whatever you

I can't do it.

-Listen, give me back my puck.
-No.

-Yes, how about?
-No.

-Give me my puck.
-No.

No roughhousing in my ER!

Give me my puck!

Now that was fun.

Okay, Monica. Right foot, red.

We could've played Monopoly, but no!

Thanks.

Okay, Pheebs. Right hand, blue.

Ross, switch with me
and Phoebe could be number two.

Nothing. It's a Twister thing.
The rules are on the back of the box.

Hello?

It's the Visa card people.

-Okay. Will you take my place?
-All right. This is Rachel.

No!

Hello? Oh, yeah. No, I know.
I haven't been using it much.

Oh, well, thanks.
But l' m okay, really.

-To the green.
-Oh, no.

I've got magic beans.

No, no, never mind.

T o the left! T o the left!

I' m fine.
