Mystery Science Theater 3000 - Sitcom night! ~ The next week
(We see Mike and Bots making lunch. They apparently decided to get lungh while they decided whether to see the last surviving Billy Jack movie or the next episode of Friends)
(Meanwhile we see Dr Forrestor has rejoined Frank. Apparently he decided to take in a little golf today.)
Dr F: Hi Frank, how are things? All in ship shape I hope.
Frank: (Nervously) Well remember our VCR monster?
Dr F: Sure, what about it?
Frank: Well it ate up all the Billy Jack movies we had saved for Mike and the bots.
Dr F: What? Those were the most excruciating movies ever made. How did that happen?
Frank: Well I forgot we weren't supposed to use rewind on it.
Dr F: Frank your hinder and my nine iron have an appointment later. (turns to screen) Hey Mike. What has Frank been making you watch?
(Mike swallows the last bit of a sandwich before he answered)
Mike: Well Dr F, he did manage to find Billy Jacks home movies or whatever but he has been showing us Friends episodes. The One With The
Prom Video.
(Dr F swipes Frank with a sand wedge.)
Dr F: Whats the matter with you Frank? That episode is actually good!
Frank: I loved it, so thats why I chose it. Nah. (Sticks out tongue)
Dr F: No matter. What were you gonna choose?
Crow: We'll take the Friends episode!
Dr F: Thats good. This is the last episode in the Friends series, the ones I have on tape anyway. Its The One Where Rachel and Ross. . . You Know. Put the hurt on them Frank.
Frank: Live to serve you.
Tom: Mike what does the title mean?
Mike: Hmm?
Crow: Well it says The one where Rachel and Ross..you know. But what does "You know" mean?
Mike: Ohhh we got sitcom sign. We'll figure this out later!
(We see the doors opening and closing to the couch in the theater.)
[Scene: Chandler and Joey's apartment. Joey and Chandler enter with Chandler covering his eyes and Joey leading him.]
Tom: Its the dumb leading the sarcastic.
JOEY: Alright, no peeking. No peeking, no peeking, no peeking.
All: cover their eyes.
Tom: I like this.
CHANDLER: Alright, alright, but you better be wearing clothes when I open my eyes.
Crow: So Joey isnt gonna show him an unwrapped package after all?
Mike: Crow!
JOEY: Alright open your eyes. [opens his eyes to see two black leather recliners and a big screen TV]
Mike: Ahhh. Oh wait, its a goldstar.
CHANDLER: Sweet mother of all that is good and pure.
Tom: Jumpin Jehossefats!
Crow: Oh my!
Mike: Guys.
JOEY: Huh? "Days of our Lives" picked up my option.
CHANDLER: Congratulations!
JOEY: I know.
CHANDLER: Now we can finally watch "Green Acres" the way it was meant to be seen.
Tom: We can now see Eva Gabor at her biggest and best!
JOEY: Uh-huh.
CHANDLER: So uh, which one is mine?
JOEY: Whichever one you want man. Whichever one you want. [Chandler starts to sit in one of the chairs] Not that one.
CHANDLER: [sits down] Ohh yes.
JOEY: [sits down] Ohh yeah, that's the stuff.
CHANDLER: [reaches for the footrest lever] Do we dare?
Crow: Do it!
JOEY: We dare.
BOTH: [both extend the footrests] Aaahhhh. [both recline their chairs]
AAAAHHHHHH.
Mike: Dr F oughta get us chairs like those.
Crow: I think he WANTS us to be uncomfortable.
Mike: Oh.
[Scene: Chandler and Joey's apartment. Chandler and Joey are sitting in their recliners watching TV. Monica, Ross, and Phoebe are there.]
Tom: Chandler and Joeys new chairs bring admirers as far as from across the hallway!
PHOEBE: I can't believe two cows made the ultimate sacrifice so you guys could watch TV with your feet up.
CHANDLER: Well they were chair shaped cows. They never would have survived in the wild.
Mike: No but they would have been really comfortable to watch the
sunset on.
Tom: Especially when the cowboys sit on them.
Crow: Tom cowboys dont actually ride cows.
ROSS: This screen is amazing, I mean Dick Van Dike is practically life size.
Mike: So he can actually fall over a life sized ottoman too?
ALL: Woah!
All: YAY!
Crow: I missed something.
MONICA: Rose Marie really belongs on a smaller screen, doesn't she?
Mike: Definately.
[Rachel enters]
RACHEL: Hi you guys.
ALL: Hey.
Tom: Hi!
RACHEL: Hey you.
Crow: Hey there.
ROSS: Hey you. [they stand together in front of the TV.]
All: Ahhhhhhh.
Tom makes a gagging sound.
CHANDLER and JOEY: Woah, hey, yo. [Rachel and Ross move]
Mike: Must not block Laura Petrie.
RACHEL: So, uh, how was your day?
ROSS: Oh you know, pretty much the usual, uh, sun shining, birds chirping.
RACHEL: Really? Mine too.
PHOEBE: Hey cool, mine too.
Crow: Suddenly we're on the wide world of disney.
ROSS: [beeper goes off] Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got to get to the museum. So um, I'll see you tonight.
RACHEL: OK. [they go to kiss but everyone's watching so Ross just kisses her on the top of her head and leaves]
Mike: I wish I had that.
ROSS: Bye guys.
ALL: Bye.
Tom: So when do we find out what...you know means?
Mike: Shhhh
MONICA: [walks up to Rachel in front of the TV] Tonight?
Crow: (as Rachel) Oh you know that period of time aftrnoon?
CHANDLER and JOEY: Hey, yo. [they move from out of in front of the TV]
MONICA: What's tonight?
Tom: (Sings) Tonight, tonight, is not just any night.
RACHEL: It is our first official date. Our first date.
MONICA: Uh, hello.
RACHEL: Hi.
Crow: Didnt they already greet each other?
MONICA: Tonight you're supposed to waitress for me, my catering thing, any of those words trigger anything for you?
Mike: Not really.
RACHEL: God, oh God Monica, I forgot. This is our first date.
Tom: Aw, Mon and Rachs first date.
Mike: Actually its Ross and Rachels first date.
Crow: Good, that one actually made more sense.
MONICA: Yes but my mom got me this job.
PHOEBE: OK, I can be a waitress, I can be a waitress.
Tom: (Sings) I believe I can fly, I can believe I can touch
the sky.
Crow: See Phoebe sing.
Mike: See Phoebe be Phoebe.
MONICA: Really Phoebs? Because, you know, you'd have to be an actual
waitress. This can't be like your 'I can be a bear cub' thing.
Tom: Be all you can be!
Mike: The nation needs more bear cub waitresses.
PHOEBE: I can "be" a waitress. OK watch this. Um, gimme two number ones, the bacon, one Adam and Eve on a raft and rick'em, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la.
Tom: Is that her singing? She should keep her day job.
[Scene: Dr. Burke's apartment. Dr. Burke answers the door for Phoebe and
Monica.]
Mike: (points) Hey its Magnum PI!
Tom: It certainly is.
Crow: Must be moonlighting.
Mike: No thats Bruce Willis.
PHOEBE: It's James Bond.
Crow: (hums James Bond Theme)
MONICA: Sorry we're late.
Mike: Dont apologize if your pregnant.
DR. BURKE: Ah, that's OK, come on in. Um, I'm sorry, is Monica Geller

Tom: (as Monica) Open your eyes, dillweed, I'm right here.
MONICA: Dr. Burke, it, it's me.
Tom: Hey Mike, its me!
Crow: Me too!
Mike: Cut it out.
DR. BURKE: Monica? My God you used to be so. . . I mean you, you, you, you must have lost like. . . You look great.
Crow: The New Monica! She cooks, she sews, she has a geeky brother!
Mike: The New Monica and Geeky Brother sets sold seperately.
MONICA: Thank you. This is my friend Phoebe. She's gonna be helping me tonight.
Tom: Geez, its like not bringing anyone at all then.
DR. BURKE: Hi Phoebe, nice to meet you. [Phoebe just giggles when they shake] So, how ya been?
All: Well we been good.
MONICA: I've been great, just great. How have you been? [tilting her head]
Crow: (as Monica) If I squint he looks just like Bruce Willis.
DR. BURKE: Oh, well obviously you know Barbara and I split up, otherwise you wouldn't have done the head tilt.
MONICA: The head tilt?
Mike: I always break pinball machines that way.
DR. BURKE: Yeah, since the divorce, when anybody asks me how I am, it's always with a sympathetic head tilt. [demonstrating] 'How ya doin'? You OK?'
Crow: Acting by repetition!
MONICA: I'm sorry.
Tom: Thats more than I'll say for her.
DR. BURKE: No no, it, it's fine, believe me. I do it too. I always answer with the 'I'm OK' head bob. [demonstrates] 'I'm OK.' [tilts head] 'You sure?' [bobs head] 'Yeah, I'm fine.' Hey listen, I've got to set up the music. I got a new CD changer, of course the divorce only left me with four CD's to change.
Mike: I bet you its all "Pantera" too.
MONICA: [her and Phoebe tilt their heads] Oh, that's too bad.
DR. BURKE: [bobbing his head] I'll survive.
Tom: (singing) I will survive, hey hey.
[Scene: Chandler and Joey's apartment. They're still in their chairs
watching TV. Chandler is ordering a pizza.]
Mike: (as Chandler) Yeah a pizza is the round cheesy thing.
CHANDLER: Uh, two larges, extra cheese on both. But listen, don't ring the buzzer for , ring , Geller-Green, they'll let you in, OK. If you buzz our door, there's no tip for you. OK, thanks. Pizza's on the way. I told you we wouldn't have to get up.
Tom: WHOAH!
Crow: He meant get out of the chair.
JOEY: What if we have to pee?
CHANDLER: I'll cancel the sodas.
Crow: I'll take them sodas.
[Scene: Dr. Burke's apartment. Monica and Dr. Burke are in the
kitchen.]
Tom: Kitchens, now the make out centers of America!
MONICA: You've got to get back out there, it's your party.
Crow: Its his party and he'll cry if he wants to.
DR. BURKE: But they're so dull, they're all opthamologists.
MONICA: You're an opthamologist.
Mike: I see.
DR. BURKE: Only because my parents wanted me to be, I wanted to be a
sheriff.
Tom: So instead of upholding the law he helps blind people see.
Crow: Oh if Robin Masters can see him now.
PHOEBE: [entering the kitchen from the party] That's funny, no. Cadillac, cataract, I get it, no I get it, you stay out there.
Mike: She needs a chair and a whip to hold them off.
DR. BURKE: See.
Crow: Ah so.
MONICA: Alright, I'll tell you what. I'll come get you in minutes with some sort of um, kabob emergency.
Tom: Kabob?
Mike: Its a stick with food skewered on it.
Crow: Oh.
DR. BURKE: OK. You better. Oh God, here we go. Hey wanna see 'em go nuts? Watch this. [grabbing some wine glasses and opening the door to the party] Who needs glasses? [everyone laughs]
Mike: Not a joke but a good simulation.
PHOEBE: You are so smitten.
MONICA: I am not.
Crow: (as Phoebe) Come on, your drooling!
Mike: (as Monica) Thats because I'm looking at the food.
Crow: (as Phoebe) Oh.
PHOEBE: Oh, you are so much the smitten kitten. You should ask him out.
MONICA: Dr. Burke? I don't think so. I mean, like, he's a grown up.
Tom: Duh!
PHOEBE: So. You two are totally into each other.
MONICA: Phoebe, he's a friend of my parents. He's like years older than me.
PHOEBE: OK, so what, you're just never gonna see him again?
MONICA: Not never. I mean, I'm gonna see him tomorrow at my eye appointment.
PHOEBE: Didn't you like, just get your eyes checked?
MONICA: Well yeah, but, you know, uh, is a dangerous eye age.
Tom: Lets go, huh?
Mike: Good idea.
(We see the doors opening and closing leading out to the area. We see Crow and Mike, but yet again Tom is not there.)
Mike: Wheres servo this time?
Crow: Dunno.
Tom: I'm in my room guys. Come on in!
(Mike and Tom go into the little door that leads to Tom little section
of the satelite. We see Tom is sitting in a leather recliner in a little red robe smoking a pipe.)
Crow: Hey heff, hows it going?
Tom: Very well thank you.
(We see a familiar looking young woman standing next to Tom dressed in a Playboy Bunny costume. Mike thinks for a minute.)
Mike: Hey Tom why do you have Courteney Cox dressed up in a bunny outfit serving your every wit and desire?
Tom: Que Simple Michael.
Crow: And stop talking like a sophisticated twit long enough to explain.
Tom: Well I saw that there was a celebrity auction at Planet Hollywood. I bid $5,000 dollars for Courteney here. And now she will be here during
the rest of the episode, doing what Mike said, "Serving my evry wit and desire." Courteney and I have a nice esp thing goin on.
Courteney: (smiling) Tom, I have a feeling that a nice hot fudge sundae would come to your liking right now.
Tom: OOOh. I like that.
Mike: Tom, its time to go back to the theater.
Crow: Rats, and I was just enjoying my jealousy. Say, how much would
Jennifer Aniston cost.
Tom: Oh about Ten thousand but her boyfriend bought her.
Crow: Nuts.
Mike: Ohhhh, we got sitcom sign, cry about it later!
