triangle Script 대본 Roteiro Texto


Phoebe: Oh, I can't believe it! I mean I think it's great, for him. She might be able to do better.

Joey: Hey guys!

Rachel: Joey! Come here! Come here!

Joey: What? What?

Rachel: Phoebe just found out about Monica and Chandler.

Joey: You mean how they're friends and nothing more?

Rachel: No. Joey, she knows! We were at Ugly Naked Guy's apartment and we saw them doing it through the window.

Phoebe: Okay, so now they know that you know and they don't know that Rachel knows?

Joey: Yes, but you know what? It doesn't matter who knows what. Now, enough of us know that we can just tell them we know. Now all the lying and the secrets will finally be over!

Phoebe: Or, we could not tell them we know and have a little fun of our own.

Rachel: Well, wh-what do you mean?

Phoebe: Well, you know every time that they say that they're like doing laundry, we'll just give them a bunch of laundry to do.

Rachel: Ohhh, I would enjoy that!

Joey: No-no-no! No, wait, Rach. You know what would be even more fun? Telling them.

Rachel: Ehhh, no, I want to do Phoebe's thing.

Joey: I can't take any...

Phoebe: You don't have to do anything. Just don't tell them that we know.

Joey: Noo! I can't take any more secrets. I've got your secrets. I've got their secrets. I've got secrets of my own, you know.

Rachel: So, how are we going to mess with them?

Phoebe: Well, you could use your position, you know, as the roommate. And then I would use, you know, the strongest tool at my disposal: my sexuality.

All: Hey!

Phoebe: Watch, learn, and don't eat my cookie.

Chandler: Hey.

Phoebe: Hey! Ooh, Wow. That jacket looks great on you.

Chandler: Really?

Phoebe: Yeah, the material is so soft... Oh, hello Mr. Bicep! Have you been working out?

Chandler: Well, I try to, you know, squeeze things. Are you okay?

Phoebe: Well, if you really want to know, I'm... Oh, I can't tell you this.
