[Scene: The Subway, Phoebe is singing for change.]

[Scene: Ross’s Apartment, the guys are there assembling furniture.]

Joey: I’m thinking we’ve got a bookcase here.

Chandler: It’s a beautiful thing.

Joey: Which goes where?

Chandler: I have no idea.

(Joey checks that Ross is not looking and dumps it in a plant.)

Joey: Done with the bookcase!

Chandler: All finished!

Ross: (clutching a beer can and sniffing) This was Carol’s favorite beer. She always drank it out of the can, I should have known.

Joey: Ross, let me ask you a question. She got the furniture, the stereo, the good TV- what did you get?

Ross: You guys.

Chandler: Oh, God.

Joey: You got screwed.

Chandler: Oh my God!
