EPISODE 1 - THE ONE ABOUT THE AUDITION DAY!



The atmosphere inside the central perk was different everyone instead of sipping coffee were busy holding pens in their hands some writing, others scribbling on the paper . Chandler threw yet another crumbled paper over his head which landed directly in someone's coffee mug floating in that mug and that person doesn't even know . Joey raised his head eyebrows furrowed ,trying to think , suddenly eyes wide then jotted something on his book. Rachel sitting with one leg over another slowly peeking into Ross's paper who is completely unaware of it .Monica sitting straight holding her book firmly and writing neatly on her book. Phoebe sits down, a book on the table which is in front of their orange sofa where Rachel, Ross, Chandler and Monica are seated. She is the only person in the room writing continuously .

" Enough!!! Could this BE any more difficult?." Chandler shrieked dropping his notepad on the ground, then showing both his open hands and shrugging slightly giving an impression that I surrender.

" Okay, listen what I wrote. For the upcoming audition event, I would perform and portray the struggles of women. They are suffering careless behavior and ill-treatment at home, they are arranging the napkins on the dining table exactly perpendicular to the plates arranged and these careless people are grabbing those napkins like a monster attacking its food, at some point it can be acceptable because they are hungry but then pulling the plates closer from its destined place.." Monica saying in a slow and dramatic way, creating a wicked image in their minds.

" I think Monica you should remove "they" from your story and replace it with " I". Rachel interrupted.

" I feel so sorry for the plates and the napkins for the torture they went through and being drawn in such an abusive story." Chandler said, shuddering his shoulders as if scared of the image which is forming in his head.

" Joey you know about acting tell us what you got there." Monica said, rolling her eyes on Chandler and ignoring his comment.

" BaZinga Bamboodle Canoodle Doodle.." Joey chanted word after word.

" What are you trying to say Joey." Rachel asked

" I wrote a bunch of words which I didn't know ,I tried to come up with something which is out of the box!." Joey said innocently

" Great job because these words seem to be out of the dictionary too!." Chandler said drly .

" Chandler we know you have this crazy disorder of breathing in air and exhaling out sarcastic remarks ." Monica said giving a stern look in his direction.

" I'm paleontologist." Ross shouted and everyone turned their heads in his direction.

" We know that Ross because my IQ is as equal as Einstein." Phoebe said giggling.

" You don't need an IQ to guess his profession ."

" Chandler ,I think I just inhaled your sarcasm." Phoebe rebuked and coughed pulling an impression of spitting it out.

" I'm called to save a girl who is lost in Jurassic Park." Ross shouted again his tone was rising as he was continuing and startling everyone sitting around. " And there like a superhero wearing a half superhero costume and half batman costume I storm into the jungle , while I was close finding the girl I feel trees shaking behind me when I turn around , I see a giant dinosaur , we both are staring each other then it makes a sound hmm hmm..."

"Dinosaur produces hmm hmm sound?" Joey asks . Ross shifting hesitatingly on the couch.

" Actually we paleontologist don't know what type of sounds they make." Ross clears his throat.

" Don't you think hmm hmm sounds more girly for such a giant dinosaur." Rachel suggesting then turns her attention on her book.

" Rach, what you wrote?" Phoebe insists , Rachel rubbing her ears hesitates to move forward and read.

" Umm...I'm Physiologist. I'm called to save a pearl which is lost in classic park .And there like a superzero and wearing half superzero broom and half perfume I storm into the jungle, when I was close in finding the pearl knees shaking ..." Rachel stops when she slowly turns her head Ross Chandler Monica Phoebe pointing their index finger in her direction lips pouting in " U" shape.

"Fine I copied !!!." Rachel utters and then everyone lower their hands going back to their old position and look at Joey who was pointing his index finger in their direction.

"I have accepted , Joey you can lower you hand." Rachel says while pulling back her hair behind her ear.

" No I'm not pointing at you Rachel , I'm pointing at them . Why were you pointing at her ." Joey asks indicating Rachel. While others just give a dry look . Then abruptly his eyes widen and nods slowly in Rachel's direction and smile on his lips " Smart girl! I use to cheat in during exams and ne-verrrr got caught just kicked out off my school when I went to my teacher and said I failed but the girl from whom I copied passed . She rusticated me , don't know what went wrong I asked her politely ." Joey shaking his head in disappointment .

" That story would be perfect to perform in the audition Joey." Phoebe said. " okay now my turn to read, Ahem...

Smelly cat smelly cat

What are they feeding you

Smelly cat smelly cat

It's not your fault." Phoebe closing her eyes and sings

" You wrote only that." Monica interrupts

" I know I could write anything but this is a lifetime song and it gave me so much success."

" Can you elaborate the success." Chandler moves closer to Phoebe showing eagerness to hear her. Phoebe is little thrownback.

" I'm a lead singer in Central Perk." Phoebe says glancing at others and proud of what she just said.

" Oh yes this café is so famous that most VIP frequently visits here."

" I feel the only reason you fail to run on treadmill is because you waste your energy running your mouth blabbering otherwise you could be in better shape ." Phoebe attacks back while Monica , Ross ,Rachel and Joey share a smile and acknowledge Phoebe.

They hall has a grimy look , lit by dim lights ,numerous empty chairs and Phoebe is standing on the stage .It was her turn to give audition . In front of her they was a man probably in his 50s wearing opaque white shirt on a pair of jeans ,having thick moustache and wearing spectacles biting a toothpick in his mouth.

" Ms. Phoebe Buff , I want you to act like you are a housewife who's stuck in the kitchen cooking and you hate to cook. This is the scenario, what would you do?" The man said in this croaky tone.

" It's Phoebe Buffay and okay I'm ready to " RUMBLE." Phoebe said in a sing song way ending that sentence with a high-pitched screech.

" Lights .." The intensity of light decreased ,he then turned around and waved at the a person sitting in the upper cubicle wearing headphones showing thumbs up. " Camera .. and .. ACTION!!! ." He shouted and fling his head in Phoebe on stage and shocked to see empty . She was gone ,he stood up and went up on the stage . Whatever light was there before it was gone and everything went dark and they were sounds of punches and kicks and the man groaned in pain. " CUT It , Open the lights." He ordered ,the hall was lighted and saw Phoebe standing in front of him impersonating as if if she is chopping and cutting something. " What the hell was that ?." He said shockingly.

" You said lights so I went to close them then u said camera which I couldn't find then action I threw some punches showing my hatred of cooking like you said then finally when you called out cut it I am acting like I'm cutting something." She said enthusiastically.

" I'm impressed you are very obedient." Phoebe blushes on his words " Now listen to my last demand ... GET OUT !." he shouted with his arm spread out showing the exit door. Phoebe walks silently and the man releases a relief sigh ,with the blink of an eye she runs towards him .

" Are you sure you don't want to see my talents in singing." Phoebe exclaims

" I would cry if you didn't go." He pleads her.

"I would love to see you cry , because there's a saying I guess Real men Don't cry." Phoebe says innocently and he is shunned feeling like Game over.

" Then this audition is probably a piece of cake for you."

" Where's cake?" Joey swirl his head right and left.

" Oh I meant .. ah! Forget it , I want you to impersonate a stereotypical archvillian."

" Cut it, Hey! Villians don't do that , I give you one more chance hold this gun and say I will kill you in your most evil tone." The man said and went back to his chair.

"Joey , I'm just acting , I don't even know this guy." Chandler said.

" But I think I have seen you earlier." The man in the formals said. Joey widen his eyes .

"We have no connection and you didn't see me , I know Hollywood actors just look like me but that's not me." Chandler said.

" Fine , Joey please come down because of you Chandler could be eliminated , Chandler try scene 2." The auditioner said.

"ACTION!."

" You have got the most beautiful eyes, they are so deep that it could drown me in." Chandler reads another line from the script to a girl standing in front of him this time.

" Ooh myyyy God!!!!." A voice which sounded more like a screech. On hearing Chandler is stoned in his place without turning his head he already knows who's that.
