Meagan Bailey : [after having exchanged information with Monica about their wedding dates and photographer] Oh, who's your band?
Monica Geller : My fiancé wants the Swing Kings.
Meagan Bailey : Oh, you're so lucky. My fiancé wants the heavy metal band, Carcass.
Phoebe Buffay : [excitedly] Oh, is that spelled with a "C" or a "K"? Oh my god, it doesn't matter, they're both great!
-
Phoebe Buffay : [somebody has just called Monica, told her something shocking and has then cut her off before she has had the chance to respond. Phoebe can't fathom what has happened.] Wh-what?
Monica Geller : That was that girl Megan. She booked the Swing Kings on the day of our wedding and said I couldn't have them back unless I gave her the dress!
Phoebe Buffay : [shocked] Ooh!
[then excitedly]
Phoebe Buffay : Does that mean Carcass is available?

Monica Geller : [pleased] Megan! You came!
Meagan Bailey : [cheerful] Yeah!
Monica Geller : [holds up the white dress] This is my dress!
Meagan Bailey : [cheerful but disagreeing] No!
Monica Geller : [insisting] Yes it is! You saw me wearing it.
Meagan Bailey : [smug] And now you'll see me buying it!
Monica Geller : [disbelief] Wha...? You freak! You wouldn't have even *known* about this place if it wasn't for me!
Meagan Bailey : [smug] Look, you don't wanna fight me.
Monica Geller : [very firm] Maybe I do! I'm pretty feisty!
[Monica takes out her whistle and blows it three times]

[Phoebe hears Monica's three sharp whistles and runs across the shop]
Rachel Green : [calls] I'm coming! I'm coming!
[three sharp whistles are heard from the other side of the shop and Phoebe changes direction]
Phoebe Buffay : [calls] OK!
[three sharp whistles are heard from the other side of the shop and Phoebe changes direction again]
Phoebe Buffay : [calls] Hey!
[multiple whistles are heard from both sides of the shop]
Phoebe Buffay : [frantic] Oh, what do I *do*?
[Phoebe runs over to a row of Wedding dresses where the repeated whistling is coming from and finds Rachel hiding among the dresses, repeatedly blowing her whistle]
Phoebe Buffay : [over Rachel's repeated whistle-blowing] What are you doing? Did you find the dress?
[Phoebe pinches Rachel's nose, she stops whistling and the whistle falls out of her mouth]
Phoebe Buffay : Did you find the dress?
Rachel Green : [scared] No. You've gotta get me out of here Phoebe! These bargain shoppers are crazy!
Phoebe Buffay : [stands up] I gotta get Monica!
Rachel Green : [puts her hand out] You gotta hold my hand!
Phoebe Buffay : [sheer disbelief] Oh my God!
[Phoebe takes Rachel and they run like crazy across the shop where Monica is sounding her whistle]
Phoebe Buffay : [crazed] Excuse me! Excuse me!
[Phoebe and Rachel find Monica, who has her dress and is pinning Megan down on the floor]
Monica Geller : [passes the dress to Phoebe] Go! Go! Go!
[Phoebe takes the dress and runs. Rachel is about to follow when she notices Monica holding Megan down]
Monica Geller : [points] GO!
[Rachel runs after Phoebe, Monica holds Megan down for a bit longer and then runs after Phoebe and Rachel, blowing her whistle three times]

[a crowd including Phoebe, Rachel and Monica are gathered outside Kleinman's with signs in the background that say 50% OFF ANNUAL SALE TODAY ONLY!]
Rachel Green : So this is Brooklyn.
[Phoebe nods]
Monica Geller : [firm and clear] All right. Listen up. There's usually only *one* dress in each size, so when they open those doors, fan out.
[Phoebe and Rachel nod]
Monica Geller : [unfolds a picture of the Wedding dress] Now, *this* is what you're looking for. Memorize it.
[Phoebe and Rachel take a good look at the picture and then Monica folds it up]
Monica Geller : [firm and clear] When you locate the dress...
[Monica takes out three whistles and gives one each to Phoebe and Rachel]
Monica Geller : ...blow on these. All right? Three sharp blasts. When you hear it, come running. All right.
[a staff member unlocks the doors and the crowd starts pushing to get in]
Rachel Green : Here he comes.
Phoebe Buffay : Hey! No pushing.
Rachel Green : No pushing.
Monica Geller : [to her friends] *Don't* be a baby!
[the staff member opens the doors and crowd stampede into the shop, but Rachel is knocked aside and falls by the door]
Phoebe Buffay : [comes back] Hey! Rachel! Come on!
[Rachel gets up and follows Phoebe into the shop]
