"I'm excited! I've never gotten reviewed before." Joey grinned.
"You were so amazing as the king. I'm really impressed." Monica complimented as they all picked up a newspaper.

"Yeah, just a tough day at work." Ross shrugged, "a stegosaurus fell over and trapped a kid."

Monica stepped in front of him with a wide smile.
