Joey and Chandler are left to babysit Ben when Monica takes Ross to the hospital. Meanwhile, Phoebe loses her singing gig at Central Perk to a professional singer.

Who the winny-binny boy?

You the winny-winny-binny-binny boy!

Don't cry.

Don't cry.

Why is he still crying?

Don't worry. Nothing can't be solved by happy keys.

yeah, I was feel much better when someone shaked Jacks medal in my face.

Let me hold him for a sec.

Here we go.

There we are.

Maybe it's me.



Don't be silly. Ben loves you.
He's just being Mr. Cranky Pants.

You know, I once dated
a Miss Cranky Pants.

Lovely girl. Kind of moody.

There we go, all better.

There's my little boy.

Can I see something?

Cool!

He hates me.
My nephew hates me!

I'm unemployed, and my nephew hates me!

Stop, don't do this. You are just unemployed.

What if my own baby hates me?
What do I do then?

Monica, stop! This is nuts.

Do you know how long it'll be
before you have to deal with this problem?

You don't even have a boyfriend yet.



Joey, she does not look fat.

The One With the Baby on the Bus

Here you go.

Goo, goo, goo!

That is so funny!
Let me see that a sec.

You okay?

I don't know.

What's in this pie?

I don't know. Butter and eggs
and flour and lime and kiwi

Kiwi? Kiwi?!

You said it was a key lime pie.

No, I didn't. I said kiwi lime.
That's what makes it so special.

That's what's gonna kill me.

I'm allergic to kiwi.

No, you're not. You're allergic
to lobster and peanuts and

Oh, my God!

It's definitely getting worse.

Is your tongue swelling up?

Either that or my mouth
is getting smaller!

Get your coat.
We're going to the hospital.

-Will he be okay?
-He's gotta get a shot.

You know, actually,
it's getting better. It is.

Let's not go.
Anyone up for Scrabble?

Jacket, now!

What about Ben? We can't
bring a baby to the hospital.

We'll watch him.

I don't think so.

I have seven Catholic sisters.
I've taken care of hundreds of kids.

Come on, we want to do it.
Don't we?

I was gonna play basketball...

... but I guess that's out the window.

If you take him out for a walk,
remember to bring his hat.

There's milk in the refrigerator
and diapers in the bag.

Hat, milk....

Got it!

Consider it done!

You understood?

My uncle Sal has a really big tongue.

Is he the one
with the beautiful wife?

You want to hear the song
I'm singing this afternoon?

I wrote it this morning in the shower.

I'm in the shower
And I'm writing a song

Stop me if you've heard it

My skin is soapy and my hair is wet

And Tegrin spelled backward is nirget

Rachel, sweetheart,
could I see you for a minute?

What's up?

F Y I:

I've decided to pay a professional
musician to play here on Sundays.

Her name is Stephanie something.
She's supposed to be very good.

But what about Phoebe?

It's not that your friend is bad.

It's that she's so bad...

...she makes me want to put my finger
through my eye into my brain...

...and swirl it around.

Okay, so you're not a fan.

But, I mean, come on.
You cannot do this to her.

I have to do this to her?

Lather, rinse, repeat

And lather, rinse, repeat

And lather, rinse, repeat

As needed

We didn't bring enough stuff.

Did you forget to pack
the baby's anvil?

I'm telling you, it'll be worth it.

It's a known fact
that women love babies.

Women love guys who love babies.
It's the sensitive thing.

Aim him at that pack of babes.
Maybe one of them will break away.

Wait, forget them.
We got one. Hard left.

-Give me the baby.
-No, I got him.

Come on, seriously.

Oh, seriously, you want him?

Who is this little cutie-pie?

Well, don't think me immodest, but...

... me.

Want to smell him?

I assume we're talking about the baby?

He's got that great baby smell.
Get a whiff of his head.

My uterus just skipped a beat.

What'd I tell you?

It's great you're doing this.

Well, we are great guys.

My brother and his boyfriend
have been trying to adopt.

What agency did you two go through?

But this is my gig.

This is where I play.

My name is written out there in chalk.

You know, you can't just erase chalk.

Honey, I'm sorry.

And he's going to
be paying this woman?

Why doesn't he just give her
a throne and a crown?

And, like, a gold stick
with a ball on top?

Terry is a jerk! That's why
we always say, "Terry's a jerk!"

That's where that came from.

You probably did everything you could.

You know what? Let me just
see what else I could do.

Just let her go on after
Stephanie whatever her name is.

You won't be here.
You don't pay her.

I don't know.

I'll clean the cappuccino machine!

You don't clean
the cappuccino machine?

Of course I clean it.

I mean, I will clean it.

I mean, I will clean it.

All right, fine, fine, fine!

-Done.
-Really?

Who's working for you, babe?

Oh, my God! This is so exciting!
How much am I gonna get?

What?

He's paying the people
who were playing.

I meant, he's paying that other woman
because she's a professional.

I'm not gonna be the only one
who's not getting paid.

I'm sorry, no!

No, I'm not some sloppy second,
you know, charity band.

There are thousands of places
in this city...

...where people would pay
to hear me play.

When I play, I play for me

I don't need your charity

Thank you!

I'm not getting a shot.
Maybe they can take the needle...

...and squirt it into my mouth.
Like a squirt gun.

Hello there. I'm Dr. Carlin.

I see someone's having
a little allergic reaction.

Doctor, can I see you
for just a moment?

My brother has
a slight phobia about needles.

Did you tell him
about my squirt gun idea?

My brother, the Ph.D.,
would like to know...

...if there's any way
to treat this orally?

Under these circumstances, it has to be
an injection, and it has to be now.

So?

Go and have a seat. The doctor
says it's got to be a needle.

You're just going to have to be brave.
Can you do that for me?

Oh, boy! You are doing so good.

You want to squeeze my hand?

Ross, don't squeeze it so hard.

Honey, really.
Don't squeeze it so hard!

Let go of my hand!

Good plan. Next time
we want to pick up women...

...we should go to
the park and make out.

Taxi! Taxi!

Look at that talent.

Just practicing. You're good.

Carry on.

Wait, wait, wait!

Hey, you. He's just adorable.

Can you tell him that?
Because he thinks he looks too pink.

-What are you guys out doing today?
-We're not out.

We're two heterosexual guys
hanging with the son...

...of our other heterosexual friend,
doing the usual straight-guy stuff.

You done?

There's our stop.

Get out of here!
This is our stop.

You guys live around here too?

We live in the building
by the sidewalk.

You know it?

Since we're neighbors, what do you say
we get together for a drink?

So you want to go to Markel's?

Sure, they love us over there.

Where's your baby?

Ben! Ben!

That's good. Maybe he'll
hear you and pull the cord!

Stop the bus!

Are you sure he didn't break it?
It's really hurt.

No, it's just a good bone bruise.

And right here is
the puncture wound from your ring.

-I'm really sorry.
-It's okay.

Sorry.

Sorry! I got my S's back!

Which we can celebrate later.

Celebrate. Celebrate....

He was a double, double

Double-jointed boy

So are you the
professional guitar player?

Yeah, I'm Stephanie.

Right. My name was on there,
but now it just says carrot cake.

So how many chords do you know?

-All of them.
-So you know D?

Do you know A-minor?

Do you know how to go
from D to A-minor?

So does your guitar have a strap?

Mine does.

Stephanie knows all the chords

Come on! Pick up, pick up!

Transit Authority?

I'm doing research for a book.

I was wondering what somebody might do
if they left a baby on a city bus.

Yes, I realize that would be
a stupid character.

Here's the deal:
We lost a car seat on a bus.

It's white plastic and
it fits onto a stroller.

And there was a baby in it.

He wants to talk to you.

Everybody, let's give a warm
Central Perk welcome to

Terry's a jerk
And he won't let me work

And I hate Central Perk

To Stephanie Schiffer!

I'd like to start with a song I wrote
for the first man I ever loved.

Zachary

Are all invited to bite me

We're the guys that called
about the baby! Is he here?!

He's here.

I assume one of you is the father.

-That's me.
-I'm him.

Actually, we're both the father.

Oh, Ben! Hey, buddy.

Please tell me you know
which one is our baby.

That one has ducks on his T-shirt
and this one has clowns.

And Ben was definitely wearing ducks.

Or clowns.

That one's Ben! Remember he had
that cute little mole by his mouth!

Hey, Ben! Remember us?

Okay, the mole came off.

What are we gonna do?

We'll flip for it.
Ducks or clowns.

-Flip for the baby?
-You got a better idea?

All right, call it in the air.

Heads.

Heads, it is.

We have to assign heads to something!

Right!

Ducks is heads
because ducks have heads.

What kind of scary-ass clowns
came to your birthday?

Just call me angel
Of the morning, angel

Just touch my cheek
Before you leave me, baby

Just call me angel
Of the morning, angel

Then slowly turn away

I won't beg you to stay

With me

Here. I thought you might be cold.

Thank you.

Look at you!
You did pretty well.

$8. 27.

But not really, because
I put in the first two.

Just to get the ball rolling
and to make myself feel better.

Do you?

You know, this whole playing
for money thing is so not good for me.

I don't know, when l
sang "Su-su-suicide"...

... I got, like, $ 1. 75.

But then "Smelly Cat"?

I got 25 cents and a condom.

So, you know, now I just feel
really bad for "Smelly Cat."

Honey, I don't think
everybody gets "Smelly Cat."

I mean, if all you've ever actually
had are healthy pets, then whoosh!

But it's not even that, you know?

I used to do my songs
because it made me happy.

Now it's just all
about the money, you know?

Well, people missed you in there.

In fact, there was actually
a request for "Smelly Cat."

Really? From who?

Well, me.

And I know it's not your big
money song, but it's my favorite.

Did I accidentally drop
a condom in your case?

It's kind of an emergency.

-Here you go.
-Thanks a lot.

Hey, Christine! I got it!

I want to thank you
for being there for me.

And I'm sorry
I almost broke your hand.

That's okay.
I'm sorry I poisoned you.

Remember the time I jammed
that pencil into your hand?

Remember it? What do
you think this is, a freckle?

What about the time I hit you
in the face with Sylvian's pumpkin?

Remember when I stuck
that broom in your spokes...

...and you hit your head on the curb?

But I remember
people telling me about it.

I hope Ben has a little sister.

And I hope she can kick his ass.

I'm gonna get a new Band-Aid.

How about the time I cut
the legs off your Malibu Ken?

That was you?

They were infected.
He wouldn't have made it.

My little nephew.

Come here, little one!

There's my little baby, Ben!

Hey, he's not crying!

Hey, he's not crying!

There's still pie!

I'm here. I'm here.

How's my little boy?

You want Daddy to change
your diaper? I know, I know.

Did you have fun with Uncle Joey
and Uncle Chandler today?

He rode the bus today.

Big boy riding the bus

Hey, I have a question.

How come it says,
"Property of Human Services"?

You are gonna love this.

Can you hold Ben for a sec?

Come here. Come here.

Stay back! I've got kiwi!
Run, Joey, run!

Smelly cat, smelly cat

What are they feeding you?

No, no. I'm sorry, it's:

Smelly cat, smelly cat

Smelly cat, smelly cat

Better!

Much better. Good.

Don't feel bad,
because it's a hard song.

-You want to try it again?
-From the top?

There is no "top," all right?

That's the beauty of "Smelly Cat."

Why don't you just follow me.

Smelly cat, smelly cat

What are they feeding you?

Smelly cat, smelly cat

It's not your fault

That's too much. Sorry.
