Rachel: Okay, Pheebs, you look in the kitchen, I will look in the back closet.

Chandler: I can save you time ladies, I'm right here.

Phoebe: Yeah, Chandler why don't you take a walk? This doesn't concern you.

Rachel: We are looking for our Christmas presents from Monica.

Chandler: What? That's terrible!

Phoebe: No-no, we do it every year!

Chandler: Oh well, that makes it not terrible.

Phoebe: No, yeah, we never find them! She has always bested us, that wily minx.

Rachel: Don't worry, we're just going to search here for an hour, and then we're going to go over to Joey's and search, okay?

Chandler: No, not okay. You can't look for Monica's presents!

Phoebe: But we have to!

Chandler: No, you don't have to, and you can't because I live here too.

Phoebe: Well then, you should look with us.

Chandler: Why?

Rachel: Chandler, aren't you worried about what to get Monica for Christmas?

Chandler: No, I have a great idea for a present for her.

Phoebe: Oh, that's it? (Mimics Chandler) A great idea, okay.

Rachel: Chandler, that's not enough. I mean what if she gets you a great present, two medium presents, and then a bunch of little presents? And you've just gotten her one great present? I mean, that's just going to make her feel bad. Why would you do that to her Chandler? Why? Why?

Rachel: Dear losers, do you really think I'd hide presents under the couch? P.S. Chandler, I knew they'd break you.

Chandler: You don't, like go into the back of my closet, and look under my gym bag or anything?

Rachel: No, we never do that

Chandler: Because that's where Joey gave me some stuff to store that I've never seen before in my life! Okay, that did not just happen!

Rachel: Hey, this is hollow.

Phoebe: What?

Rachel: This bench, it's hollow! I can't believe I never knew that! Oh, the presents!!!

Phoebe: No, don't look directly at them!

Chandler: What?

Phoebe: All right, no, we could look at them!

Rachel: Oh, this one's for me!

Phoebe: Oh, this one's for Chandler. Here.

Chandler: Oh great!

Phoebe: And the big one's for me!

Rachel: Ooh, let's open them!

Chandler: Okay! Okay! Okay!

Chandler: Wait a minute. Wait a minute. We can't do this.

Phoebe and Rachel: Why?

Chandler: I don't want to know what Monica got me, y'know? I mean, look, I'm sure she worked really hard at getting me a present and wanting to surprise me, and you guys are going to ruin that. Look, we have to put these back. This is not what Christmas is about.

Rachel: Whatever Linus! I'm opening mine.

Chandler: Nobody is opening anything, okay? Look, I don't know about you guys, but I want to see the look on Monica's face when I give her my present. And I'm sure she wants to see the look on my face when I get mine. So please, please, can we just, can we put them back?

Phoebe: Will you get us better gifts?

Chandler: Fine!

Monica: Hey guys! You found the presents? Chandler, you let them find the presents? Great! Do you know how long it took me to find you that water purifier?

Chandler: That's what you got me?

Phoebe: Oh yes, I see what you mean. That look is priceless.
