- Joey Tribbiani: [trying to convince Ross to let him appear in a commercial instead of Ben] Come on, Ross! I should be in this commercial! Even Chandler thinks so!
- Ross: Is this true, Chandler?
- Chandler: Uh... um... Hey, who's that at the door?
- Chandler: [gets up and answers the door; no one's there] Oh - hi, no one!
- [Chandler bolts out the door]
- Phoebe Buffay: [carrying two large bulky black bin bags into Joey's apartment] Is it OK if I leave this stuff here until Rachel's Birthday party?
- Chandler: [standing by the workout with a bottle] Uh, sure. What's in 'em?
- Phoebe Buffay: [leaves the bags on one of the armchairs] Um, cups.
- Chandler: Oh good, because we got Rachel 800 gallons of water.
- [Phoebe smiles]
- Ross: [sitting at the worktop holding a bottle] Seriously, that's *a lot* of cups.
- Phoebe Buffay: [proudly] Yeah, well that's 'cause I'm in charge of cups and ice and Monica is gonna *rue the day* that she put me in charge of cups and ice!
- Chandler: You know, I rued the day once. Didn't a whole lot else done.
- Phoebe Buffay: [preparing herself] OK, time to bring up the rest of the cups.
- [Phoebe opens the apartment door as Joey arrives]
- Phoebe Buffay: [exiting the apartment] Hey Joey!
- Joey Tribbiani: [entering the apartment] Hey Pheebs!
- 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?
- Phoebe Buffay: [ushers Chandler to the round table upon which are three large buckets full of different types of ice] And did you notice the ice? Look! We have it all! We have crushed...
- [Phoebe points at the blue bucket]
- Phoebe Buffay: ...cubed...
- [Phoebe points at the red bucket]
- Phoebe Buffay: ...and dry. Watch...
- [Phoebe pours water over the dry ice in the silver bucket and pretend-smoke rises from it]
- Phoebe Buffay: [pleased] ... ah! Mystical!
- Chandler: [impressed] Oh!
- [Phoebe grins and a jealous Monica watches with her arms folded]
- 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!
- Rachel Green: Wow! This is so... great! Look at all these... cups! This is so weird.
- Phoebe Buffay: [comes over, smiling] I was in charge of cups.
- Rachel Green: [gladly] Oh, OK. *Not* so weird.
- [they giggle]
