The Lesbian Wedding: Part 3/Eddie Moves In: Part 1

Sarah's POV

Everyone, minus Rachel, is helping Monica in the kitchen while Ross sits on the couch.

Monica: "All right people, we're in trouble here. We've only got 12 hours and 36 minutes left. Move, move, move!"

Chandler: "Monica, I feel like you should have German subtitles."

Monica: "Joey, speed it up!"

Joey: "I'm sorry, it's the pigs. they're reluctant to get in the blankets!"

Phoebe: "Monica, how did this happen? I thought you had this all planned out."

Monica: "Do you want me to cry? Is that what you want? Do you wanna see me cry?"

Phoebe: "Sir, no, sir!"

Monica: *to Ross* "All right, you!"

Ross: "No. Look, I told you I am not a part of this thing."

Monica: "All right, look, Ross. I realize that you have issues with Carol and Susan, and I feel for you, I do. But if you don't help me cook, I'm gonna take a bunch of those little hot dogs, and I'm gonna create a new appetizer called 'pigs in Ross'. All right, ball the melon."

Chandler: "Hey! How come Sarah & I are stuck dicing, when he gets to ball the melon?"

Before Monica can answer, I answer the knock at the door to reveal Carol.

Carol: "How's it going?"

Monica: "It's goin' great. Right on schedule. Got my little happy helpers."

Carol: "Fine, whatever."

Ross: "What's the matter?"

Carol: "Nothing. Ok, everything. I think we're calling off the wedding."

Ross: "What?"

Monica: "You're still gonna pay me, right?-*pauses*-Or something a little less selfish."

Ross: "Carol, what's the matter? What happened?"

Carol: "My parents called this afternoon to say they weren't coming. I mean, I knew they were having trouble with this whole thing, but they're my parents. They're supposed to give me away and everything. And then Susan and I got in this big fight because I said maybe we should call off the wedding, and she said we weren't doing it for them, we were doing it for us, and if I couldn't see that, then maybe we should call off the wedding. I don't know what to do."

Ross: "I, uh, can't believe I'm gonna say this, but I think Susan's right."

Carol: "You do?"

Ross: "Look, do you love her? And you don't have to be too emphatic about this."

Carol: "I do."

Ross: "Well then that's it. And if George & Adelaide can't accept that, then the hell with them. Look, if my parents didn't want me to marry you, no way that would have stopped me. Look, this is your wedding. Do it."

Carol: "You're right. Of course you're right."

Monica: "So we're back on?"
