Joey and Rachel
So...Joey and Rachel are not a real couple,but we could never
know what will happen between those two.
But what has happened with those two?...Letīs make a review
Rachel first met Joey when she arrivie at Central Perk in her wet wedding
dress after she left Barry on the altar. That same day Joey hit on her!!!
Joey: (comforting her) And hey, you need anything, you
can always come to Joey. Me and Chandler live across the hall. And he's away
a lot.
Monica: Joey, stop hitting on her! It's her wedding day!
Joey: What, like there's a rule or something?
Its also good to say that during 99' New year Celebration...they
kissed for the first time...
Rachel: (To Joey) Happy New Year, Joey!
Joey: So did that do anything for ya?
After that things happened like Ross and Rachel in their "on
and off" relationship, or even after that Ross's wedding...were Chandler
and Monica hocked up for the first time, thing that made Joey want a ralationship
like theirs...who did he saw first??...RACHEL!
Joey: Uh, hey, Rach let me ask you something. Uh, I was just over
there talking to Monica and Chandler, boy they are really tight.
Rachel: I know.
Joey: Yeah that's not such a bad situation they got going over there. I'm
thinking of getting me one of those.
Rachel: What's up Joe?
Joey: Well, the reason I think Monica and Chandler are so great…
Rachel: Yeah?
Joey: …is because they were friends first. Y'know? So I asked myself,
"Who are my friends?" You and Phoebe, and I saw you first. So…
Rachel: (laughing) What are you saying?
Joey: I'm saying maybe you and I crank it up a notch.
Rachel: Y'know honey, umm, as uh, as flattered as I am that uh, you saw me
first, uhh, I just, I-I don't think we should be cranking anything up.
Joey: I'll treat you real nice. (Pulls out a chair for her.)
Rachel: (laughs and pushes the chair back in) Yeah, well, y'know umm…
No honey, listen I think it's a great idea to become friends with someone
before you date them, but I think the way you do it is y'know you meet someone,
become their friend, build a foundation, then you ask them out on a date.
Don't hit on your existing friends!
Joey: Won't-won't that take longer?
Rachel: Yeah. Yeah. Oh, but once you find it, ohh it's so worth the wait.
Joey: Yeah. I understand. I understand. (Pause) Man, I wish I saw Phoebe
first!
Then a real change of plans during season 8 when Joey decided
he wanted Rachel to stay with him during the pregnancy after making a nursery
station...but then they decided to go out on a date since Rachel hadn't had
one in so long...but.:
Joey:Hey Rach, can I just say I think this is the best date I ever had!
Rachel: I know!
But that was not all ...later on Joey realized he had feelings for Rachel
Joey: (thinking) All right. It’s a new day, and it’s just a crush,
that’s all! Just a little crush! All that worrying I was doing, that was
crazy. Crazy! Like my friend here the bird would say, "it was cuckoo!"
Everything’s going to be fine. It’s just a crush.
Rachel: (entering) Hi, sweetie.
Joey: (thinking) I love you.
And he made the galant act of telling Ross and rachel they should live together,
so Ross wont miss any baby stuff...Well that was not where this ended...he later
on told Ross...thing that really freaked Ross out
Joey: There’s this woman, that I like. A lot. Well, it’s complicated.
She’s with this other guy. For a long time. And I could never do that to
the guy, y’know? ’Ccause we’re really good friends.
Ross: So, uh, this guy, she used to go out with, is, uh… is he a good
guy?
Joey: Yeah, he’s the best.
Ross: Then talk to him! He might be fine with it.
Joey: Oh, I don’t know.
Ross: Joey, it’s worth finding out. I mean, if you really like her.
Joey: I do! So much! I can’t stop thinking about her! I can’t
sleep, I—
Ross: Okay, Joey, you know what? You have to go for it. How often does this
happen to you, huh? You owe it to yourself. (Walks towards the door until…)
Joey: It’s Rachel.
[Fade to Black, then fade in again with Ross stopped at the doorway.]
Ross: (closes the door) Did you um—I’m sorry, did you just say
it’s Rachel?
Joey: Yes.
Ross: Um, you…you like Rachel?
Joey: Yes. I like Rachel.
Ross: Rachel?!
After that Joey faced Rachel and told her...
Joey: Yeah, here we are. Uhh… I… I think I’m…falling
in love with you.
Rachel: (stunned) What?
Joey: I’m falling in love with you.
Rachel: (looking around) Who are you talking too? Oh, you’re kidding!
Oh, it’s a joke! (Laughs.) It’s funny. It’s funny. I don’t
get it. (Joey doesn’t say any thing and Rachel realizes it’s not a
joke.) Oh. (Pause) Okay. Umm… I-I…uh, wow. Are you uh… How did
umm… When?
Joey: Does it really matter?
Rachel: Wow! Wow. Wow. Wow, it is hot in here.
Joey: Okay look Rach, I know this is a lot. You don’t have to say anything.
You-you uh, you take as much time as you need. (Long pause as Rachel says nothing.)
Okay, you gotta say something!
Rachel: Joey, Joey I love you so much, but I…
Joey: But. (Hangs his head down.)
Rachel: Joey.
Joey: Yeah-yeah right. That’s okay. That’s fine. That’s uh,
pretty much what I was expecting. So uh, it’s no big deal. All right? I
think I’m gonna go. (Stands up.)
Rachel: No! Joey please! Please don’t! Please don’t leave like
this! Now come on, you cannot do this to a pregnant woman! (Starts to cry.)
Joey: Don’t start doing that. You can’t do that Rach, ‘cause
then you’re gonna make me do that. (Starts to cry.) Oh, here we go! (Sits
down next to her.)
Rachel: Can I? (Hug him.)
Joey: Sure!
(They hug.)
Rachel: Oh Joey honey I don’t…I don’t want to lose…
Joey: Hey-hey-hey, hey! You can’t. Okay? Ever!
Rachel: I’m so sorry.
Joey: Oh no-no Rach, please, don’t be sorry. Okay? Don’t be sorry.
(They hug again.)
After that things were a bit tense, but then everything seemed to be back
to normal Rachel had her baby...but was not quite sure about her situation with
Ross...and a missunderstanding may change everything... NOTE: IF YOU HAVE NOT
SEEN THE EIGHT SEASON FINALE YET...I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU TO STOP READING.
Rachel: I’m just saying that y’know, someday Ross is gonna meet
somebody and…he’s gonna have his own life. Right?
Joey: Yeah, I guess so.
Rachel: I just never thought I would raise this baby all by myself. Pretty
dumb huh?
Joey: Hey, listen to me, listen to me…you are never ever gonna be alone.
Okay? I promise that’s not gonna happen.
Rachel: Joey. Honey what would I do without you?
(They hug.)
Joey: You don’t have to worry about that okay?
(Pause)
Rachel: Oh, hon can you grab me my other box of tissues? They’re right
on that chair under Ross’s coat.
Joey: Sure.
Rachel: Okay.
(He moves Ross’s coat to get the tissues and the engagement ring box
Mrs. Geller gave him falls out of the pocket it was inside. Joey goes to one
knee, picks up the box, opens it, and sees that it’s an engagement ring.)
Joey: My God.
Rachel: Joey.
(He turns to face Rachel on one knee with the box open.)
Rachel: (seeing the ring) Oh my God. (Pause) Okay.
(Joey is stunned.)
[Cut to Ross getting of an elevator carrying a bouquet of flowers and walking
down the hall to Rachel’s room.]
Will they get together eventually? We will have to wait and see...
Rachel and Joey did got together after Rachel realized she had feelings for him they got together on Barbados, after Joey broke up with Charlie who got together with Ross.
After this big mix, Joey and Rachel tried to stay as a couple , but failed deciding they were going to be friends.
