FRIENDS: The Next Generation

The pilot

*Washington Dulles Airport* 

(Each kid is with their parents, their farewelling)

*Emma is on a side with her parents*

Emma: (emotional) Well, I guess it's the moment right?

*Ross hugs Emma*

Ross: Oh dear, I can't believe you are leaving. But I think is the best.

Emma: (laughing) Dad, don't start. I'm going to miss your dinosaur stories and your faith in science.

 Rachel: (stroking Emma's hair) And I'm going to miss our Fifth Avenue shopping sprees and rom-com movie marathons.

Emma: I'm going to miss all of that and more. Thank you for supporting me in this.

*Erica  and Jack stand with Monica and Chandler*

Erica: It's time right?

 Monica: (tearfully) Oh, sweetie, we're going to miss you both so much.

Jack: (putting a hand on Erica's arm) Don't worry Mom, I will take care of her.

Erica: (jokingly) Or backwords?

*They all laugh*

Chandler:(playfully) And I'm going to miss Erica's eye-rolls.

[Jack hugs Chandler and then Monica.]

Jack: Thanks, Dad. For everything. I'll miss our backyard barbecues and your advice on, well, pretty much everything.

Monica: (with a tremble in her voice) You two have grown into such incredible young adults. We're so proud of you.

*Nicholas and Mike farewell Phoebe and Mike*

Max: (with a bittersweet smile) Well, it's time for us to go.

[Phoebe wraps Max in a warm hug, holding back tears.]

Phoebe: (emotionally) Oh, my boys. I can't believe this day is here.

Max: (lightly) I'll miss your homemade cookies and your quirky songs, Mom.

Mike: (chuckling) And I'll miss our Sunday football games and your knack for making us laugh, Max.

Nicholas: Thanks for everything, Mom and Dad. I'll miss our fishing trips and your stories about the old days, Dad.

*And finally..Julie farewells Joey*

Joey: (trying to keep a brave face) Well, kiddo, looks like it's time for you to spread your wings.

[Julie hugs Joey tightly, fighting back tears.]

Julie: (choked up) Dad, I'm going to miss you so much. Who's going to teach me more about being awesome?

Joey: (playfully) Aw, come on, you're already more awesome than me! And remember, always say 'How you doin' with confidence.

[Julie smiles through tears.]

Julie: It taught me the best. 

Airport Speaker: "Attention, passengers. Flight 456 to New York is now boarding."

Max gives Nicholas a friendly pat on the shoulder, then they join Erica and Jack. Meanwhile, Emma and Julie shake hands and everyone heads towards the boarding gate together. Monica and Rachel hug each other, Joey embraces Phoebe, while Mike, Chandler, and Ross watch their children with nostalgia.
