Central Perk group discussion about dating disasters

Full Script

Rachel Green: I can't believe he stood me up! We had such a great first date!

Monica Geller: Maybe he got cold feet. Some guys panic when things go well.

Phoebe Buffay: Or maybe he was abducted by aliens. That happens more than people think.

Ross Geller: Phoebe, alien abduction is not a common reason for missing dates.

Phoebe Buffay: How would you know? Have you ever been abducted?

Ross Geller: No, but I have a PhD in paleontology, which involves actual science.

Rachel Green: Could we please focus on my dating crisis here?

Monica Geller: Of course! What do you want to do? Call him? Show up at his work?

Phoebe Buffay: Or we could perform a cleansing ritual to remove any negative energy.

Ross Geller: Or you could just... wait for him to call and explain.

Rachel Green: Ross, that is way too rational for this situation.
