[Scene: Central Perk 2, Rachel, Phoebe, Joey, Ross, and Monica are all there as Chandler enters wearing glasses.]

Chandler: Hey, you guys!

Ross and Rachel: Hey!

Chandler: So, what do you think?

Ross: About what?

Rachel: Yeah, what?

Joey: What?

Chandler: Are you kidding? Okay, I抣l give you a hint; I抣l give you a hint. (Points to his glasses.)

Joey: Eyes! No, no. Your eyes! No. Chandler抯 eyes!

Chandler: I got glasses!

Ross: Well, you-you抳e always had glasses.

Chandler: No I didn抰!

Ross: Are you sure?

Rachel: Yeah-yeah, did-didn抰 you use to have a pair? They were really round, burgundy, and they made you look kind of umm?

Joey: Feminine.

Rachel: Yes!

Chandler: No!

Monica: Sweetie, I think the glasses look great. They make you look really sexy.

Chandler: Really?

Monica: Yeah!

Chandler: (sitting down on the arm of her chair) You didn抰 think I used to wear glasses, right?

Monica: Of course! (She mouths, "I have no idea," to the rest of the gang.)

Opening Credits

[Scene: Monica, Chandler, and Phoebe's, Rachel, Phoebe, Chandler, and Monica are making some sandwiches.]

Phoebe: So what do you guys want for an engagement present?

Chandler: That抯 okay Pheebs, we抮e not having a party or anything, so you don抰 have to get us?

Monica: (interrupts him) If someone wants to give us a present, we don抰 want to deprive them of that joy.

Rachel: Oh, y択now what you should get 慹m? One of those little uh, portable CD players.

Monica: Oh, I already have one.

Phoebe: Not unless someone borrowed it and left it at the gynecologist.

Rachel: Yeah, and-and-and by someone, she means Joey.

Monica: Hey, I know what I want!

Chandler: What we want honey.

Monica: No, you don抰 want this. I want to have your grandmother抯 cookie recipe.

Phoebe: You mean the chocolate chip cookie recipe?

Monica: Uh-huh, yeah.

Phoebe: You mean the one that my grandmother made me swear on her deathbed that I would never let out of our family?

Chandler: Dying people say the craziest things.

Monica: I wanted it for years! I was gonna make cookies for my children.

Phoebe: Break my heart桹h, all right.

Monica: Okay. I抦 gonna be the mom that makes the world抯 best chocolate chip cookies.

Chandler: Our kids are gonna be fat aren抰 they.

Joey: (entering) Ahoy!

Chandler: Hey! How抯 the boat?!

Joey: Great! I抦 finally getting into this sailing stuff.

Monica: Oh, so you finally took it out of the marina huh?

Joey: Why would I do that? It took three guys to get the thing in there!

Phoebe: If you don抰 sail your boat, what do you do on it?

Joey: Oh, it抯 great! It抯 a great place to just kinda, sit, hang around, drink a few beers, eat some chips. (He says that as he sits, hangs around, drinks a beer, and eats a chip.)

Chandler: Well, it抯 good that you finally have a place to do that.

Rachel: Y択now Joey, I could teach you to sail if you want.

Joey: You could?

Rachel: Yeah! I抳e been sailing my whole life. When I was fifteen my dad bought me my own boat.

Phoebe: Your own boat?

Rachel: What?! What?! He was trying to cheer me up! My pony 5 was sick.

[Scene: Central Perk, Chandler and Monica are there. He takes off his glasses and starts chewing on the ear piece.]

Chandler: Do you know what I was thinkin?

Monica: What?

Chandler: Nothing, I just like to go like this. (Does it again.)

Ross: (entering from the bathrooms) Hey Chandler, what are you doing tonight?

Chandler: Uh why, do you have a lecture?

Ross: No, why?

Chandler: Then free as a bird. What抯 up?

Ross: My dad wanted to know if you wanted to play racquetball with us.

Monica: Wow! That抯 great! Dad must really like you, he doesn抰 ask just anyone to play.

Ross: Yeah and he didn抰 really ask for you, he asked for Chancy, I assumed he meant you.

Chandler: Well, did-did you correct him?

Ross: No, I-I thought it would be more fun this way.

Monica: This is so cool, maybe this is something you can do every week.

Ross: Or you can sit with him on the front porch and make sure no one steals the trash cans. He does that every week too.

Monica: Oh, just so you know, you-you have to let him win.

Ross: Yeah.

Monica: He hates to lose.

Chandler: Oh no problem, maybe I抣l play with my left hand.

Ross: You抮e not a lefty?

Chandler: Does anybody know me?!

(Phoebe enters, walks up to Monica, and exhales 6 exasperatedly.)

Monica: What抯 wrong Phoebe?

Phoebe: I just went to my old apartment to get you the-the cookie recipe and the stupid fire burned it up!

Monica: No!! Why didn抰 you make a copy and-and keep it in a fireproof box and keep it at least a hundred yards from the original?!!

Phoebe: (pauses as he figures out how to answer that) Because I抦 normal! That was the one legacy 7 my grandmother left me, and I know you wanted it as an engagement present.

Ross: Oh, we have to get you an engagement present?

Chandler: Don抰 worry about it Pheebs.

Ross: No one got me an engagement present.

Phoebe: Okay, here I wish you health and happiness. (She hands Monica a cookie in a plastic baggie.)

Chandler: An old cookie?

Monica: (To Chandler) This is what happens when you don抰 register for gifts!

Phoebe: See no-no, I made a batch 8 and I froze it, and this is the only one left.

Chandler: We can抰 accept this.

Phoebe: Why not?

Chandler: 慍ause it抯 gross.

Monica: No! Wait! I think I can figure out the recipe from this cookie! I do stuff like this at work all the time.

Phoebe: Really?!

Monica: Yeah! I bet I can do it.

(Chandler looks over and sees Ross glaring at them.)

Chandler: Okay, we owe you a present.

Ross: Two! I抳e been engaged twice!

[Scene: The Mr. Bowmont (Joey抯 boat), she抯 shown to be in one of the waterways around New York, but in reality she抯 in a sound stage on the Warner Bros. lot and we see New York from the water in some rather poor green screen shots. Rachel and Joey are on board.]

Joey: (drinking a beer) Look at this clown! Just because he抯 got a bigger boat he thinks he can take up the whole river. (Yelling) Get out of the way jackass! (To Rachel) Who names his boat Coast Guard anyway?

Rachel: That is the Coast Guard.

Joey: What are they doing out here? The coast抯 all the way over there. (Points to the coast, meanwhile there is coast behind him.)

Rachel: Joey, just ignore the boats all right? We抮e not finished with the lesson yet.

Joey: All right.

Rachel: Okay, I抦 just gonna go over the basic points just one more time, are you ready?

Joey: Come on Rach, not again. I got it! Okay? Let抯 start sailing, and I want to go over there (Points) where that boatload of girls is! (Yelling to them) Yo-ho-ho!

Rachel: Oh, okay. Is that what you want to do? You wanna go over and give a little shout out to the old, hot chickas? Okay, let抯 do that Sailor Joe. Quick question though, (grabs some of the rigging) what抯 this called?

Joey: Uh, boat rope.

Rachel: Wrong! How do you get the mainsail up?

Joey: Uh, rub it?

Rachel: No. What do you do if I say we are coming about?

Joey: I抎 say, come again. No-no, wait I-I-I know this one, I know this one, uh?

(Rachel blasts an air horn in his ear.)

Rachel: Time抯 up, now you're dead.

Joey: And deaf!

Rachel: Okay, you just go on and make your little jokey-jokes, but if you do not know what you are doing out at sea you will die at sea. Am I getting through to you sailor?! (She punctuates 9 each word by slapping him on the forehead.)

Joey: Yes.

Rachel: Don抰 just say yes! This isn抰 a game, Joey, you can really get hurt out here. Okay, so do you want to pay attention or do you want to die?!

Joey: I want to make a ship to shore call to Chandler.

[Scene: Monica, Chandler, and Phoebe's, Monica and Phoebe are trying to determine the cookie recipe by eating small pieces.]

Monica: All right, I definitely taste nutmeg.

Phoebe: You do?

Monica: You don抰? (Laughs) Well, that抯 the difference between a professional and a layman 10.

Phoebe: That and arrogance 11.

Joey: (entering) Hey.

Monica: Hey! How was sailing?

Joey: I don抰 want to talk about it. Y択now, you could抳e at least saved me a whole cookie. (He grabs what抯 left of the cookie and pops in his mouth.)

Monica and Phoebe: No-wait-no-no!!!!!!!

Joey: (recoils in horror) Women are mean!!! (Storms out.)

Phoebe: I can抰 believe that! Now the only thing left of my grandmother抯 legacy is this crumb 12. (She picks it up with her finger and holds it out to Monica.) I wish you a long and happy marriage.

Ross: (entering with Chandler) Hey.

Monica: Hey! How was it?

Ross: Well I had a great time! Umm, Chancy on the other hand?

Chandler: I will tell the story! It was going great. I let him win. We were bonding. He even said I could call him dad.

Ross: And what did he ask you not to call him?

Chandler: Daddy. All right look, here抯 the story. (Flashback to Chandler about to enter the steam room as he does the voice-over.) Well, we had just finished playing racquetball and we were gonna take a steam. I walk into the steam room and it was really steamy. (The flashback shows his glasses fog up and him trying to find his way around the steam-filled room. He takes off his glasses.) So I take off my glasses and that抯 when it happened.

[Cut to the flashback, Chandler抯 no longer doing the voice-over.]

Chandler: Guys?

Ross: Over here. (You can see Ross sitting at the far wall.)

Mr. Geller: Have a seat son. (You can see Mr. Geller sitting closer to the door as Chandler walks over and sits in his lap.) Hey!! (Chandler quickly jumps off and sits next to him with a shocked expression on his face.)

Commercial Break

[Scene: Monica, Chandler, and Phoebe's, Chandler is finished telling everyone what happened.]

Monica: Oh my God Chandler! I can抰 believe it!

Chandler: I know.

Monica: You gave my father a lap dance!

Chandler: Why do they put so much steam in there?!

Ross: 慍ause otherwise they抎 have to call it the room room.

Chandler: Why? Okay? Why? Wh-wh-why did that have to happen?

Phoebe: Come on, it抯 not that big a deal!

Chandler: Not that big a deal? There卼here was touching 13 of things.

Ross: Now, I know you wanted to bond with my dad, but did you really have to bond to that part?

Monica: Listen, I抦 sure that dad doesn抰 care. He probably thought this was funny; he抣l be telling this story for years!

Chandler: I don抰 want him to tell this story for years.

Ross: Oh, but he will. He still tells the story how Monica tried to escape from fat camp.

Monica: I wasn抰 escaping.

Ross: Then how did you get caught in the barbed wire?

Monica: I was trying to help out a squirrel.

Ross: You were trying to eat it!

(The phone rings.)

Chandler: If that is your father calling to tell this story then the marriage is off!

Monica: (takes the phone from Ross) Come on. (Answering phone) Hello? (Listens) I抦 sorry you have the wrong number. (Listens) (Whispering) Okay, I抣l call you later dad. I love you. (Hangs up.)

[Scene: Central Perk, Chandler, Ross, and Rachel are there.]

Chandler: (getting up) All right, I抦 off to see your dad.

Ross: Whoa-whoa, aren抰 you a little over dressed?

Rachel: (laughing) Yeah, and-and you better make sure he tips you this time.

Chandler: Look, I figured I would try to convince him not to tell the story anymore, and I figure the best way to do that is face to face桝nd by face I don抰 mean his lap. And by face, I don抰 mean my ass 3. (Exits.)

Ross: (To Rachel) Hey are you getting Monica and Chandler an engagement present?

Rachel: I don抰 know. Y択now, they didn抰 get us anything.

Ross: Thank you!

Joey: (entering) Hey.

Ross: Hey.

Rachel: Well hello! So, when are we gettin?back out on the water matey?

Joey: Oh uh, I don抰 know the boat way to say this, but uh never!

Rachel: Why not?

Joey: Because! You抮e mean on the boat!

Rachel: What? I was just trying to teach you.

Joey: Well, lesson learned! Rachel is mean!

Ross: Yeeeeeep?Yep-yep-yep-yep-yep. I remember when she took me out on her dad抯 boat she wouldn抰 let me help at all.

Rachel: Excuse me, I wanted you to help, but you couldn抰 move your arms because you were wearing three life jackets.

Ross: You have to respect the sea! (Storms off.)

Rachel: Look Joey, I抦 sorry if-if you thought that was mean, but I gotta tell ya something. That was not mean. Okay, my father is mean. He used to yell at me all the time on the boat, I mean it was horrible. I was just being a good teacher.

Joey: Does a good teacher say, "Put down the beer pinhead!?"

Rachel: Well, does a good student drink seven beers during his first lesson?

Joey: Six and a half! You knocked that last one out of my hand! Remember?

Rachel: Yeah, I didn抰 want you to get hit by the boom!

Joey: Well it hit me anyway! And it would抳e hurt a lot less if I had finished that last beer.

Rachel: All right, y択now what? I-I抦 sorry. I will try to tone it down and uh stop yelling.

Joey: You won抰 boss me around anymore?

Rachel: I won抰 boss you around.

Joey: And you抣l be nice?

Rachel: And, I抣l be nice.

Joey: And you抣l be topless?

Rachel: And桱oey!

Joey: Do you want me to learn?!

[Scene: Monica, Chandler, and Phoebe's, Monica is trying out different cookie recipes. Ross and Phoebe are the tasting group.]

Monica: Okay, here抯 batch 22. Oh, maybe these抣l taste a little like your grandmother抯. This has a little bit of orange peel, but no nutmeg.

Ross: Let抯 give it a shot.

Monica: Okay. Man, I have not made this many cookies since I was in the ninth grade.

Phoebe: Oh, what was that for? Like a bake sale?

Monica: No, just a Friday night.

(They all take a bite.)

Ross: Oh, these are pretty good.

Phoebe: Yeah, but not as good as batch 17.

Ross: Which one was that?

Monica: The ones we had right after you almost threw up.

Ross: Oh yeah! Batch 17 was good. I did not like batch 16. (Burps a little bit.) I抦 okay.

Phoebe: Are there any more from the good batch? 慍ause we could just work off of those.

Ross: Yeah, ooh yeah, I think there is one from batch 17 left, uh?(Grabs a cookie and takes a big bite out of it and doesn抰 like it.) It抯 batch 16! 16 people! Get out of the way! (Gets up and runs for the bathroom.)

[Scene: The Mr. Bowmont, it's Joey抯 second lesson with Rachel as the resident sailing expert.]

Rachel: Okay Joey honey, you抮e doing really good! All right, now I抦 just gonna need you to step to the port side. (Joey pauses as he tries to remember which side is the port side.) Remember? Remember how we talked about the port side?

Joey: Oh yeah.

Rachel: Right?

Joey: Nope.

Rachel: It抯 left sweetie, but that抯 okay sweetie, that抯 a tough one.

Joey: I don抰 know why you just don抰 say left.

Rachel: Okay, go to the left. (Joey goes starboard or sits on the right side of the boat.) The left!

Joey: Huh?

Rachel: (yelling) Just sit over there!! (Points to the port side.)

Joey: (hurrying over) Okay! Okay, you抮e yelling again! See that?

Rachel: No! No-no, no-no-no, very quiet, said with love, no yelling.

Joey: Oh, y択now what? Since I抦 here, I think I抦 gonna have me a little beer on the port side. (Grabs and opens one.)

Rachel: Okay Joey, we抮e luffing a little bit, so could you tighten 14 up the cunningham? (The mainsail has started to flap in the wind and has stopped working efficiently 15; she wants him to tighten it so that it starts working again.)

Joey: Uh, wow, you just said a bunch of stuff I didn抰 know there.

Rachel: Joey, come on! We just went over this! (She does it instead.)

Joey: Oh, y択now, when we did that was when that bird was flying overhead with the fish in his mouth. Did you see it? It was gross!

Rachel: (angrily) No! All right?! I did not see the bird! I did not see the fish! I did not see the piece of Styrofoam that was shaped like Mike Tyson! I did not, because I was trying to teach you how to sail a boat! Which obviously is an impossible thing to do!

Joey: All right that抯 it! You抮e yelling and I don抰 see you taking your top off! I quit!

Rachel: What do you mean you quit?! You can抰 quit!

Joey: Why not?!

Rachel: Because you抮e not finished yet and I won抰 have it! Greens do not quit!

Joey: Greens? I抦 a Tribbiani! And Tribbianis quit!

Rachel: Oh my God, wait did I桰 just said Greens don抰 quit didn抰 I? (Pause) (Angrily) Did I just say Greens don抰 quit?!

Joey: Yes! Yes! You did and you抮e still yelling at me!

Rachel: No! No! No! I抦 not yelling at you, I抦 just yelling near you. Oh God Joey, oh I抦 my father. Oh my God, this is horrible! I抳e been trying so hard not to be my mother I did not see this comin? Oh, Joey, I抦 sorry. I抦 so sorry. I just wanted you to learn.

Joey: Well, hey I did learn.

Rachel: Really?

Joey: Yeah! Come on.

Rachel: Awww?

Joey: Yeah, it抯 okay. I know what a mainsail is. (Points to it. It抯 the larger sail.) I know, I know to duck when the boom comes across. I-I know port is right.

Rachel: Left.

Joey: Damnit!

[Scene: Monica, Chandler, and Phoebe's, the cookie-trying period has passed. Monica, Phoebe, and Ross are reflecting on the day抯 events.]

Phoebe: Y択now, I bet it would actually make my grandmother very happy to know that we抮e trying to figure out her recipe. I bet she抯 l-l-lookin?up at us and smiling right now.

Ross: Looking up?

Phoebe: Oh yeah桸o, she was really nice to me, but she抯 in hell for sure.

Monica: Well, I抳e tried everything. I give up. I guess I抦 not gonna be the mom who makes the world抯 best chocolate cookies. I do make the best duck confit with broccoli 16 rabe. Kids love that right.

Ross: Aww, Pheeb, come on isn抰 there any relative that would have the recipe? What about, what about your sister?

Phoebe: Oh no-no, no, I made a promise to myself that the next time I would talk to Ursula would be over my dead body. And that抯 not happening 憈il October 15th, 2032.

Ross: That抯 the day you抮e gonna die? See梔arnit, I抳e got shuffleboard that day.

Phoebe: That抯 what you think.

Monica: Well, I mean what about friends of your grandmother抯? Wouldn抰 they have the recipe?

Phoebe: Well, y択now I may have relatives in France who would know. My grandmother said she got the recipe from her grandmother, Nesele Tolouse.

Monica: What was her name?

Phoebe: Nesele Toulouse.

Monica: Nestle Tollhouse?!

Phoebe: Oh, you Americans always butcher the French language.

Monica: (grabbing a bag of Nestle Tollhouse chocolate chips) Phoebe, is this the recipe? (Tosses her the bag.)

Phoebe: (reading the recipe on the back of the bag) Yes!! (Realizes.) Oh.

Monica: I cannot believe that I just spent the last two days trying to figure out the recipe and it was in my cupboard the whole time!

Phoebe: I know! You see it is stuff like this which is why (Looking down) you抮e burning in hell!!

[Scene: The Gym, Chandler and Mr. Geller are heading for the whirlpool room.]

Chandler: So you understand, I抎 feel a lot more comfortable if you didn抰 tell people what happened. Y択now, I抦 a little匢抦 a little embarrassed about it.

Mr. Geller: I understand completely, there抯 nothing more horrifying 17 than embarrassing yourself in front of your in-laws. As a matter of fact, when I started dating Judy I was unemployed 18, and her father asked me what I did for a living and I told him I was a lawyer.

Chandler: What did you do when they found out?

Mr. Geller: They never did, so if you ever see me giving them legal advice just nod along. Shall we?

(Chandler nods along and they enter the whirlpool room and remove their robes. Only Chandler is lacking a certain item of clothing. You see this is a coed whirlpool, which means swimsuits, and in fact there are two women already there and Chandler didn抰 seem to wear his. Needless to say, everyone is shocked, including Chandler.)

Chandler: So I guess we wear swimsuits in here!

Ending Credits

[Scene: The Mr. Bowmont, is tied up alongside the pier 19; Joey and Rachel are relaxing.]

Rachel: Well Joey, I hate to admit it, your way of sailing is a lot more fun.

Joey: Yeah, yeah. Hey, why don抰 you give a pull on that rope? (Points.)

Rachel: Oh we抮e not sailing.

Joey: Just pull on it.

Rachel: All right. (She does so and it brings the cooler closer together.) Hey-hey-hey!! (Sees what抯 in the cooler.) Sandwiches!

Joey: What else?

Rachel: (hands him one) Here you go.

Joey: Thank you.

Rachel: Oh wow! (She takes a bite, but holds the sandwich vertically 20 so that the stuff falls out.)

Joey: What are you doing?

Rachel: Oh, sorry.

Joey: What you梔on抰 hold it like that! You抮e lettin?all the good stuff fall out.

(More falls out.)

Rachel: Oh whoops 21.

Joey: Careful! You抮e wasting good pastrami! (Gasps.) Oh my God! I抦 my dad!
