INT. CENTRAL PERK – DAY
(Chandler and Joey are on the couch. Rachel is behind the counter making coffee. Ross enters, holding a broken mug.)
ROSS:
Okay, who broke my dinosaur mug?
CHANDLER:
(Looks at Joey)
Joey.
JOEY:
(Surprised)
What?! I didn’t break your mug!
CHANDLER:
No, but statistically, you were going to.
ROSS:
It was limited edition, from the museum gift shop. It had a stegosaurus wearing a bow tie!
RACHEL:
(Smirking)
A mug… with fashion sense. Great loss to the science world.
PHOEBE:
(Entering with her guitar)
Did someone say “mug”? I had a dream last night that I was a mug. It was very revealing.
MONICA:
(Joining them)
Okay, everyone stop blaming Joey. I broke the mug.
ROSS:
You? Monica?
MONICA:
Yes! I was cleaning it and it slipped.
ROSS:
Wow. Okay. I guess I respect that you told the truth.
MONICA:
(Beat)
Also, I already replaced it. (Hands Ross a new mug.)
ROSS:
(Squints at it)
This one has a T-Rex wearing sunglasses…
CHANDLER:
Well, that mug is definitely cooler.
JOEY:
Hey, if you ever break any of my mugs, just don’t tell me. I’ll assume the dishwasher ate them.
PHOEBE:
Or that they became sentient and left to start a new life.
CHANDLER:
Sounds like a plot Joey would actually believe.
JOEY:
(Shrugs)
Can you prove mugs don’t have feelings?
EVERYONE:
(Simultaneously)
Yes!
