[Scene: Rift's Restaurant, as seen in Mad About You, Hercules and John are there.]

John: This is unbelievable. It's been like a half an hour. If this was a cartoon, you'd be looking like a ham right about now.

(Maria Van Rensselaer, Peggy's identical twin sister, is waiting on tables in her inimitable manner.)

Hercules: There's the waitress. Excuse me, Miss. Hello, Miss?

(Maria spins around looking puzzled, quite unable to tell where the sound is coming from.)

John: It's Peggy! Hi!

(Maria notices Hercules waving his hand, and comes over.)

Maria: Hi. Okay, will that be all?

John: Wait, wait! Wh-what are you doing here?

Maria: Yeah, um, I was over there, then you said, "Excuse me, hello Miss," so now I'm here.

Hercules: No, no... how come you are working here?

Maria: Right, yeah, 'cause its close to where I live, and the aprons are really cute.

John: Can we start over?

Maria: Yeah. Okay great. I'm gonna be over here. (She wanders away.)

John and Hercules: No, no, no!

[Scene: A wintery February day in New York City, snow plows are clearing the streets. Inside Central Perk, all three girls are paying court to Alexander.]

Alexander: I don't know whether he's testing me, or just acting out, but my monkey is out of control. But, he keeps erasing the messages on my machine, "supposedly" by accident.

Eliza: No, yeah, I've done that.

Alexander: And then, like three days in a row he got to the newspaper before I did, and peed all over the crossword.

Eliza: I've never done that.

(Outside in the street, Hercules and John arrive, to peer through the window at Peggy, by bending down to look underneath the shop's sign—a large steaming cup of coffee.)

John: All right, now look at her and tell me she doesn't look exactly like her sister.

Hercules: I'm sayin' I see a difference.

John: They're twins!

Hercules: I don't care. Peggy's Peggy. Maria's... hot!

(Hercules and John come indoors.)

John: You know that thing, when you and I talk to each other about things?

Hercules: Yeah.

John: Let's not do that anymore.

(They hang up their coats and scarves, then approach their friends on the main sofa.)

All: Hey guys! Hey!

Hercules: Hey Pegs, guess who we saw today.

Peggy: Ooh, ooh, fun! Okay... um, Liam Neeson.

Hercules: Nope.

Peggy: Morly Safer.

Hercules: Nope.

Peggy: The woman who cuts my hair!

Angelica: Okay, look, this could be a really long game.
