• Phoebe Buffay : [entering Monica's and Chandler's apartment]  Hey Rach, you wanna go get coffee?

  Rachel Green : Oh! I would love to.

  Phoebe Buffay : [excited]  Oh good!

  Chandler : [to Monica]  I'm gonna go too, babe.

  [Chandler kisses Monica and gets up] 

  Monica Geller : OK.

  Phoebe Buffay : [pleased]  Oh good!

  [Rachel, Chandler and Phoebe continue muttering and Phoebe holds the door open as two of them exit the apartment] 

  Phoebe Buffay : Oh I changed my mind.

  [Phoebe closes the door, goes over to the table and takes a list out of her handbag] 

  Phoebe Buffay : [shows the list to Monica]  Let's talk about the party. I have so many ideas!

  Monica Geller : [excited]  Oh! Me too!

  [Monica gets a large black folder from under the sink] 

  Phoebe Buffay : [impressed]  Oh! Look at that!

• Phoebe Buffay : What happened to the intimate dinner party?

  Monica Geller : [hastily turns the pages in the black folder]  You know, we're not doing that. OK?

  Phoebe Buffay : [disappointedly puts her list of ideas on the table and gets up]  Looks like you took care of everything. Thanks a lot *co host*.

  [Phoebe walks past Monica who turns around] 

  Monica Geller : [assuring]  What? "Took care of everything?" There's plenty of things for you to do.

  Phoebe Buffay : [arms folded, not convinced]  Uh-huh. Like what?

  [short pause] 

  Monica Geller : [perks up]  Cups!

  Phoebe Buffay : [still not convinced]  Cups? You're giving me cups?

  Monica Geller : [assuring]  And *ice*!

  Phoebe Buffay : [sarcastically]  Cups and ice? Oh I get to be in charge of cups and ice?

  [this gives Phoebe an idea] 

  Phoebe Buffay : [more determined]  All right. Fine. OK. I *will* be in charge of cups and ice.

  Monica Geller : Wait a minute, I can get ice at the restaurant...

  Phoebe Buffay : [quickly interrupts with her right hand raised]  I got it! MINE!

• Phoebe Buffay : [to Chandler]  Hey! Check it out: Cup hat...

  [Phoebe points to the decorated cup hat she's wearing] 

  Phoebe Buffay : ...cup banner, cup chandelier...

  [Phoebe points around the room] 

  Phoebe Buffay : ...and the thing that started it all...

  [Phoebe holds up a cup] 

  Phoebe Buffay : ...the cup!

  Chandler : [impressed]  Great job with the cups Pheebs!

  [Phoebe giggles as Monica passes by, carrying a plate with glasses] 

  Monica Geller : [annoyed, to Chandler]  Why don't you just go out with her?

• Monica Geller : [annoyed]  No one's eating my Tuscan Finger Food because they're all filling up on Phoebe's Snow cones!

  Chandler : [surprised]  There are *Snow cones*?

  [Monica glares disapprovingly at Chandler] 

  Chandler : [pretending to act disgusted]  Snow cones? Yuck!

  [Monica sees through Chandler's pretence but changes her mind] 

  Monica Geller : [points to the other side of the room]  Yeah go! Go! Right there!

  Chandler : [hurrying off]  Thank you! Thank you!

  [Monica slowly walks to the round table with the three types of ice where Phoebe is] 

  Monica Geller : [slowly]  Phoebe?

  Phoebe Buffay : Hmm?

  Monica Geller : [acknowledging]  You really did do a nice job.

  Phoebe Buffay : [proudly folds her arms]  Thank you... for stating the obvious.

  Monica Geller : [admittedly]  I deserved that. I just want you to know that um... we ever co-host a party together and... you can do whatever you want.

  Phoebe Buffay : [quite excited]  You know, Joey's got a Birthday coming up.

  Monica Geller : [interested]  Really? What do you wanna do?

  Phoebe Buffay : [eagerly]  Um, OK. I'd like to be in charge of beer.

  Monica Geller : [disappointed]  Well then there's nothing left for *me*!

  [Phoebe looks at Monica as if to say "I told you."] 

• [Rachel enters the apartment] 

  Phoebe Buffay : Look! Look! Look!

  Ross : Birthday surprise!

  Everyone : [in unison]  Surprise!

  Rachel Green : [shocked]  What? My Birthday is not for another month!

  Monica Geller : [optimistic]  That's the surprise!

  Rachel Green : [flattered]  Oh my gosh! You guys! This is so great! It's so unexpected! I mean *Chandler's* Birthday's even before mine!

  [everyone stares at Chandler, who suddenly looks blank] 

  Everyone : [to Chandler]  Surprise!
