The Breast Milk: Part 2/Mr. Heckles Dies: Part 1

Sarah's POV:

I'm helping Chandler wipe down his kitchen counter when Joey walks in dressed as a cowboy.

Chandler: "Howdy."

I smirk as Joey sits on the opposite side of the counter.

Joey: "Well, they switched me over to Hombre."

Me: "Well, maybe it's because of the way you're dressed."

Joey: "Or maybe it's because this guy's doing so good they wanna put more people on it."

Joey told us about his newest co-worker and how he's doing better than Joey. Chandler pours Joey a glass of juice as Joey laments over his work troubles.

Joey: "You should see this guy. He goes through 2 bottles a day."

I slide the glass across the counter for Joey to catch.

Chandler: "What do you care? You're an actor. This is your day job. This isn't supposed to mean anything to you."

Joey: "I know, but, I was the best, you know? I liked being the best."

Joey downs the juice in one swig.

Joey: "I don't know. Maybe I should just get outta the game. They need guys up in house wares to serve cheese."

I pour a refill for Joey's juice and slide it back over to him.

Me: "All right, say you do that. You know sooner or later somebody's gonna come along that slices a better cheddar. And then where're you gonna run?"

Joey: "Yeah I guess you're right."

Me: "I didn't graduate top of my class in law school for nothing."

Joey dons a small smirk at my comment.

Chandler: "I say you show this guy what you're made of. I say you stand your ground. I say you show him that you are the baddest hombre west of the lingerie."

Joey: "I'm gonna do it."

Joey downs the juice in one swig again.

Chandler: "All right. Now go see Miss Kitty and she'll fix you up with a nice hooker."

{Time skip}

Phoebe & I are sitting on opposite ends of the couch in Central Perk as Rachel & Monica walk in mid-argument.

Monica: "Say that I'm friends with her, we spend some time together. Is that so terrible?"

Rachel: "Yes."

Monica: "It's that terrible?"

Rachel: "Yes. Monica, you don't get it. It's bad enough that she's stolen the guy who might actually be the person that I am supposed to be with, but now, she's actually-*crying*-But now, she's actually stealing you."

Monica: "Me? What are you talking about? Nobody could steal me from you. I mean, just because I'm friends with her doesn't make me any less friends with you. I mean-*crying*-You're my...We're...Oh, I love you."

Rachel: "I love you, too."

Phoebe: "You guys, um I know that this really doesn't have anything to do with me, but um I love you guys too."
