Ep 12-13: The One After the Superbowl

[Scene: In a TV commercial that the gang is watching at Angelica and Eliza's.]

[A guy is sitting at his desk and his boss comes in and drops a huge pile of papers on his desk. The guy looks dejected.]

COMMERCIAL VOICEOVER: Can't get the monkey off your back? Then put it in your mouth...

[A monkey jumps on the desk and hands the guy a beer. He opens the beer and is suddenly on the beach, in a hammock, with beautiful women all around.]

COMMERCIAL VOICEOVER: ...With MonkeyShine Beer. [MonkeyShine theme] MonkeyShine Beer, 'cause it's a jungle out there.]

[Camera pans back from the TV to show the gang watching.]

Alexander: That commercial always makes me so sad.

Herc: Yeah, but then the guy opens his beer and those girls run at him, so, everything seems to work out OK.

Alexander: I meant because the monkey in it reminds me of Marcel.

Peggy: I can see that, 'cause they both have those big brown eyes and, ya know, the little pouty chin.

Angelica: And the fact that they're both monkeys.

Alexander: Sometimes I wonder if I did the right thing, ya know, giving him away.

Eliza: Oh, Alexander, you had to, I mean, he was humping everything in sight. I mean, I have a Malibu Barbi that will no longer be wearing white to her wedding.

Alexander: Remember when sometimes he'd borrow your hat, and, and when you got it back there'd be little monkey raisins in it.

John: Yeah, well sure, when he did it, it was funny. When I did it to my boss's hat. . . all of the sudden I have this big attitude problem.

[Scene: Central Perk. John, Angelica, Eliza, and Peggy are at the couch.]

[Herc enters holding a letter]

Herc: Hey, hey, check it out, guess what I got.

John: Rhythm?

Herc: No, my first fan mail.

ALL: Alright!

Angelica: [reading] 'Dear Dr. Remore, know that I love you and would do anything to have you.' Gosh. 'Your not-so-secretive admirer, Erica Ford.' Ooh wait, 'PS enclosed please find 14 of my eyelashes.'

Eliza: Ya know, in crazy world, that means you're married.

Angelica: This wasn't addressed to Days of Our Lives, this is, this came to your apartment. There's no stamp on it, this woman was in our building.

Herc: Oh my god, I got my very own stalker.

[Alexander enters with a suitcase]

Alexander: Hey guys.

ALL: Hey.

Peggy: Ooh, where are you off to, Travelin' Jake?

Alexander: Well, there's this, uh, paleontology conference in L.A. so I figured I'd go and then drive down to the zoo and surprise Marcel.

John: You know I think he will be surprised, 'till he realizes he's a monkey, and uh, you know, isn't capable of that emotion.

[Rob (Chris Isaac) enters]

Eliza: Oh, Peggy, that really cute guy is here again.

Peggy: Oh, oh, OK, so everyone, pretend like I'm telling you a story, OK. And, and it's really funny. So everyone just laugh, now.
