Mike and Phoebe: 
Phoebe and Mike are planning their wedding and they decided to just 
get married at City Hall and donate the money they would have used 
to charity. They go to the offices of "Children of New York" and 
they say they want to make a donation. At first they say it has to 
be anonymous. The guy at the front desk ask them if they would like 
be included in their newsletter and Mike says something like "A 
possible header can be 'Two Genorous People Making the World 
Better'" and Phoebe says "Yes, two genorous people Mr. X and Phoebe 
Buffay" so the guy who works at the foundation says they can include 
their names if they would like and Mike says no but Phoebe starts 
spelling out her last name. They leave feeling really good about 
themselves. But then, Phoebe goes to Monica and Chandler's apartment 
and Monica tells Phoebe that she was cleaning and found something 
she might like. Monica takes out her wedding vail and gives it to 
Phoebe. Phoebe loves it but tells Monica that she won't be needing 
it because she's not planning on wearing a dress at all. Monica 
says "I told you I won't come to a naked wedding!!" But Phoebe tells 
her that her and Mike donated all their money to a Children's fund 
and they plan on getting married at City Hall. Monica almost has a 
heart attack and yells "That's crazy!!!" and Chandler 
says "Generous" so Monica says "Crazy Generous!" So Phoebe says 
parties aren't for her and that the vail wouldn't even fit her so 
she tries it on and when she looks at herself says it looks stunning 
on her and now she decides she DOES want a big wedding! She decides 
she wants her money back and Chandler says she can't do that, but 
Monica says she can and Monica is really excited because there will 
be a big wedding. So, Mike and Phoebe go back to Children of New 
York and say they want their money back. Of course the guy thinks 
they're crazy and he makes Phoebe feel bad about asking for it back. 
But Phoebe tells him that he's not being fair because she never had 
a sweet 16 or a graduation and this big party is very special to 
her. Phoebe and Mike leave and then they go to Central Perk and then 
they feel bad about taking the money back so yes... They decide to 
give it back, again! They go back to the Children of New York and 
tell the same guy that they want to give it back because they feel 
guilty. But they're so unsure about it that they guy says on behalf 
of the Children of New York, we can't take your money anymore and 
now consider this money a donation from us. He tells Mike and Phoebe 
to have a wonderful wedding and they leave. 
 
Chandler and Monica: 
Monica and Chandler are in the process of adopting! Their whole 
storyline was about them waiting for the social worker to come and 
interview them. Joey finds out about the interview and tells Monica 
and Chandler that it might be a good idea for him to stop by because 
little people knowing a celebrity is a big deal. Joey leaves and a 
few hours later the social worker comes. I think her name was Matty. 
They sit to have coffee and start talking. Everything is going well 
until the Matty says "I feel like I've been here before. Is there 
another couple adopting?" Monica says "Is it the couple from 
downstairs?? Because if it is, then, we should get a baby first 
because the guy has tried selling drugs to me!" So, then the Matty 
says "Oooh, I remember now! I dated a guy who lived in these 
apartments. We had a great night, said he'd call me back, he never 
did." So Monica says "That wouldn't by any chance be Joey 
Tribbiani?" And of course the Matty says yes! Now they don't want 
Joey to visit them during the interview. But of course Joey comes 
and he says before entering the apartment "Did anyone order a 
celebrity?" Chandler runs to the door to stop him from coming in. 
Matty is intrigued to know what's going on and Chandler says that 
it's just a crazy guy named Bert. Matty says "Well, is he okay out 
there by himself?" Chandler says "No, it's okay he has an older 
brother watching out for him... Ernie" Matty says "Bert and Ernie?" 
Chandler says "You can't make things like that up!" Anyway, Joey is 
now worried that they're not okay inside so he tries to find a way 
into the apartment. He ends up climbing through the back window but 
Monica and Chandler notice him and Monica pulls Matty into the 
babies room to show her and closes the door. Joey comes in and 
Chandler tells him "What the heck are you doing?" Joey says that he 
thought they needed help because he called him Bert and that's their 
secret word for danger. Chandler says they don't have a secret word. 
Joey says "We don't? Well we should have one. From now on our secret 
word is Bert." Then Monica and Matty come out of the babies room and 
Chandler throws Joey to the ground and hides him behind the sofa. 
Monica asks Chandler what room they should see next and Chandler 
says "Any room that's not behind this couch!" They both laugh really 
hard and Matty is just confused but she doesn't have time to ask 
anything because Monica pulls her into their room. Chandler then 
tells Joey he has to leave because he slept with their social worker 
and never called her back. Joey says okay and walks out. But then 
Joey comes back in because he forgot a bat he was carrying and at 
the same time Matty walked out of the room. They're all just quiet 
for a minute but then Chandler turns and says "For the last time! We 
don't want to be friends with you! And we do not want to buy your 
bat!!" Matty asked Joey what he was doing there and Joey very 
smoothly turns the tables around and acts like he's really depressed 
because she never called him back. He leaves the room crying while 
Matty is trying to apologize, lol. Then Matty feels bad about Monica 
and Chandler watching that but Monica says don't worry that 
relationships are hard. Matty tells them they're really nice people 
and that they're going to make great parents! So... They are 
approved by her!! They are now on a waiting list to get a baby. 
 
Ross and Rachel: 
Ross picks up Emma at Rachel's. Rachel asked Ross what they were 
planning on doing and Ross says he was going to take her to the 
park. Rachel FREAKS out and says "What??!" So it turns out Rachel 
had this horrible experience on the swings when she was little. Her 
hair got stuck to the swing and her mom had to cut it off. So she 
had one side shorter than the other and that traumatized her for 
life! Ross makes fun of her but she reminds him of his fear for 
spiders. So then Ross convinces Rachel to go with them so she can 
see swings are nice and that Emma will love them. So now they're at 
the park and Rachel is all freaked out. She keeps yelling at Ross to 
watch out for Emma's hair and Ross tells her to relax that Emma only 
has like 3 hairs. Emma starts swinging and she's very happy and 
smiling and laughing so Rachel thinks it's really cute and wants to 
swing Emma. Ross says okay and Rachel tells him to get the camera so 
he can take a picture. As Ross is trying to take a picture he 
says "See. Swings aren't bad. Look how happy Emma is" and he keeps 
moving back and a little boy on the swings next to Emma knocks him 
out. Rachel runs to Ross and he's trying to get up. Anyway, Ross 
tells Rachel to get on a swing so she can see how nice they are. She 
says "Sure, I'll get on...if you hold a spider" Ross gets paranoid 
and starts saying "Where? Where? Where?" while dancing trying to get 
the spider off. Rachel then says "IF you hold a spider!" So Ross 
trying to act cool says "Oh yeah, sure!" Rachel ends up getting on 
the swing and she likes it afterall. And Ross held a spider even 
though at the end he was knocked out again this time by Rachel 
because the spider ended up crawling up to his neck and he was 
jumping around trying to take it off and he didn't see Rachel 
swinging and she kicked him.
