Friends – Enunciate by spitting

Director: Action!
Joey: We have to find the rest of the platoon!
Gary: Forget the platoon, the platoon is gone!
Joey: What?
Gary: The platoon is dead! Face facts, Tony!
Joey: So, what are we gonna do? We have no reinforcements, no food.
Gary: There’s still food, in the basement I saw potatoes and some dry pasta
Director: Hang on a minute. Joey, you keep touching your face. Is something
wrong?
Joey: No, no. I thought it might be kind of a cool character thing, you know. He's
a… he's a face toucher.
Director: I don't think so. Let's take it back to Richard's last line. Action!
Gary: We may not have any weapons but we still have food in the basement I saw
potatoes and some dry pasta and a few tins of tuna.
Gary: Joey? Could you go through these lines with me?
Joey: Oh man, they just redid my makeup.
Gary: Just the last two pages.
Joey: All right.
Gary: I found the picture.
Joey: Picture? What picture?
Gary: Could you ,uh, could you lower your script? I need to see your face so I can
play off your reaction.
Joey: Okay. Uh, look I know you're a great actor, okay? And you play all those
Shakespeare guys and stuff but you're spitting all over me, man.
Gary: Of course I am!
Joey: You know you've been spitting on me?
Gary: That's what real actors do! Enunciation is the mark of a good actor and
when you enunciate, you spit.
Joey: Wow! Didn't know that! Thanks, Okay. Check it out. Picture? What picture?
Director: Action!
Gary: I found the picture!
Joey: What picture?
Gary: A picture of my wife in your pack!
Joey: You went through my personal property?
Gary: Why do you have a picture of Paulette in your pack?
Joey: Because Vincent … we were lovers! For two years!
Director: Cut! Wonderful!
Joey: Great scene, yeah!
Gary: You were awesome! In that last speech you soaked me!
Joey: Oh, thanks a lot!
Man: Here’s your call sheet for tomorrow.
Joey: Oh, I'm not working tomorrow.
Man: You are now.
Joey: Oh no! I can't! You got to get me out of it! I have plans! Important plans!
