Chandler:Did they teach you that in your anger management class?.

Phoebe:Hey you know what might help you deal with it?.Think of it this way you and Emily are in the past and you can't be mad about the past.So are you still mad about the Louisiana Purchase?.

Rachel:Pheebs I don’t think anyone's mad about that.

    Me and Joey get up and we go to the nurse.After the routine checkup we begin the ultrasound.Shelley moves around the tool on my stomach and she finds the heartbeat which makes Me and Joey tear up.

Tabitha:Our little Tribbiani."Grins".

Judy:Yes.What about it?.

Tabitha:Well when I was packing up my old bedroom I found a box of Moms things.Me and Joey opened it and I found the letter she sent you guys...Why didn't you tell me Mama was alive?.

Jack:Well uh...
