TOW The Engagement Plan

[ Monica quietly enters the room, carrying a tray of food, which she places next to Chandler ]

Chandler: Hey

Monica: I'm sorry. Did I wake you?

Chandler: No. I've been awake for a while

Monica: Are you hungry?

Chandler: A little, yeah. What's on the menu?

Monica: Oatmeal and orange juice

Chandler: Oatmeal?

Monica: Just try it. I put some in cinnamon for some flavor

Chandler (sighing): OK. But I really miss those little sausages

Monica: Sorry. Doctor's orders.

* Chandler sniffs the air *

Chandler: I smell eggs.... and bacon!

** Chandler gets up **

Monica: Where are you going?

Chandler: Across the hall.... where the real food is at

** Monica restrains Chandler **

-- Cut to Joey and Chandler's apartment. Joey and Ross are eating eggs, sausage, and bacon --

Ross: If Monica knew what we were doing, she'd kill us

-- Opening Credits --

[ Still at Joey and Chandlers. Ross and Joey are still eating and Rachel enters ]

Rachel: Guys! We're supposed to be supporting Chandler

Ross (offering some bacon): Ya want some?

Rachel (taking the plate): God yes! I'd kill for some real food, for a change!

** Joey nods in understanding **

-- Back at Monica and Phoebe's later that day --

Monica: It's a nice day. Why don't we open the window and get some breeze in?

Chandler (sounding depressed): Sure

Monica (sitting next to Chandler): What's wrong?

Chandler: Just trying to figure out what to do with my life

Monica: What'd you come up with?

Chandler: Nothing. Nothing at all. I spent 6 years at the same job, doing the same thing, day in and day out. But I don't just want a job. I want a future.

Monica: Everybody does. That's natural. It will come to you soon enough and when you least expect it. Don't rush it

** Monica opens the window **

Ross (shouting from the other room): Mon?

Monica: We're in here.

** Ross enters **

Ross (to Chandler): How you feeling?

Chandler: OK, I guess. Just bored as all hell

Ross: I got some news for you.

Monica: What?

Ross: Where's Pheebs?

Chandler: At work. She'll be back in about 30 minutes

Ross: OK. Nobody go anywhere

Chandler: Like I have a choice?

-- Later in the afternoon. Everybody but Rachel is gathered --

Ross: OK. I got some news that I want you to be a part of

Phoebe: Where's Rachel

Ross: I sent her and Ben to the movies. This is supposed to be a surprise.

** Ross produces a ring from his pocket **

Monica: Oh my God!

Phoebe: Is that what I think it is?

Ross: While we're in Miami, we have reservations at this romantic sea-side restaurant. That's where I am going to propose

Chandler: That's awesome, dude!

Ross: I plan on hiding the ring in the dessert tray and when the waiter puts the plate on the table, and removes the lid, it will have the ring

** Monica and Phoebe coo and aww as Joey and Chandler make gagging sounds **

Monica: Hey, You guys can learn a lot from him

Chandler: Yeah. He's an expert on proposals. What number is this one, Ross?

** Ross glares at Chandler **

** The gang hears the door opening and Ross motions for everybody to keep quiet **

Ross (calling out): Hello?

Rachel (entering the room): Hey

Ross: What happened?

Rachel: The movie was sold out.

** Monica tries not to well up **

Rachel: You ok?

** Monica and Phoebe just stand there saying "Awwwwww" as Ross frowns **

Rachel: What?

Ross: They're just awww-ing over how pathetic and pitiful Chandler looks

Chandler: Thanks, man.

Monica (hugging Rachel): Have a great time in Miami

** Ross rolls his eyes as he shoos his little sister out of the room **

Rachel: What's with Mon?

Ross: You know Monica....she's emotional. She went to a movie that was sold out, once. She wells up each time she thinks about it.

Phoebe (hugging Rachel): Tell me everything!

** Ross frowns as he escorts her out of the room **

Rachel (to Joey): What the hell was that all about?

Joey: OK... well.....

Ross (yelling from the living room): I got porn

Joey (running out of the room): See ya, Rach!

Rachel: Chandler?

** Chandler falling asleep **

Rachel (softly): Chan?

* Chandler does not respond *

Rachel (quietly): Good night

* Rachel gently pulls a blanket over Chandler, turns the lights off and leaves *

-- Later that evening. Still at Monica and Phoebe's --

** Chandler slowly walks from the bedroom and lays down on the sofa. Phoebe emerges from Monica's room **

Chandler: Where is everybody?

Phoebe: Joey and Amanda went out and Monica just left to take Ross and Rachel to the airport (thinking for a second).... hey why are you not in bed? You should be trying to conserve your strength.

Chandler: I just want to watch a little TV. I am so bored, I am going nuts

Phoebe: Well I guess a little TV can't hurt. But only until Monica comes back, ok?

Chandler: Thanks, Pheebs

Phoebe: I can't believe Ross is going to get engaged

Chandler: Wanna start a pool to see how long before they get divorced?

Phoebe: I call the 1st week!

-- Ending Credits --

[ At the airport ]

Monica (welling up again): AWWWWWWW

Rachel: Couldn't you just watch another movie?

Monica: What?

Ross (jumping in): Ok sweetie.

Gate Attendant (on speaker): Flight 1000 to Miami is now boarding

Rachel (to Ross): That's us, honey.

Monica: OK. Well have a good flight and tell me EVERYTHING

Rachel: I didn't know you were so interested in Ross' seminar

Ross: OK. We better get going.

[ Ross and Rachel leave and board the airplane as Monica watches ]
