TO With Or Without You ( Part VII)
That's how the last part ended:
Rachel: No thanks. Listen, we have to talk. And I have to tell you something that is really important.
Ross: Okay, but before you start. There's no way I coming back
or something like that. And there's also now way for us getting back together
'cause it's over, and this time forever. It sounds hard, I know, but I
moved on and so did you as I can see.
Rachel: Ross. (gets teary eyed)
Ross: No wait. (gets angry) I can't believe that. That's the
cause you ran away when I was there on stage, made a fool of myself. You
had
your fun when I was in Vancouver. And I thought you love me, god, I'm so
stupid.
Rachel: Stop it! (starts to cry)
Ross: But you know what. It's over, it's history. Be happy with this guy and your baby. Live your life.
Rachel: Would you stop (cries harder)
Ross: I'm happy, too. I found a woman and I'm happy with her.
(calms down and looks at Rachel who doesn't stop crying.)
Why are you crying like this. I hate that.
Rachel: I love you Ross.
Ross: No you don't.
Rachel: And you're the father of my baby....
Ross: (totally shocked) what?
Rachel: our bonus night, do you remember?
Ross: of course I do.
Rachel: I'm 18 weeks pregnant...
Awkward silence. Ross doesn't know what to say. He just walks around obviously confused and nervous.
Rachel: Ross, say something please!
Pause
Ross: you should better go.
Rachel: (disappointed) what?
Ross: Rach, I didn't expect that ... I will be there for the baby and everything, but it wont change anything between us, okay?
Rachel: (hurt) so you don't love me anymore...?
Ross: you should go. I have to think about...about everything.
Rachel: Ross, do you still love me?
Pause
Ross: no, it's over Rach...
Rachel: uhm...okay...you know what. here's my number if you want to tell me something. (gives him her number)
Ross: thanks
Rachel: I'm here for another week....so if you want to talk...
Ross opens the door and Rachel leaves.
Ross: bye
Rachel: yeah, bye
When Ross closes the door, Rachel leans on the wall and sighs. she closes her eyes and takes a deep breath. inside the apartment, Ross leans on the door and slowly slides down 'til he sits on the floor. he buries his head in his hands and begins to cry a little.
Scene fades out
A soft song, like "I want to know what love is" by Foreigner starts playing in the background.
Montage
Scene 1: we see Ross sitting at his desk in his apartment. Jennifer
comes in and hugs him from behind. he smiles weakly and then closes his
eyes for a moment. then he turns around and kisses her softly. then he
stands up and walks away.
We are in Ross' office. the song slowly fades out. a man enters.
Man: morning Dr. Gellar
Ross: morning Mr Tyler
Mr Tyler: listen, there's something I want to talk to you.
Ross: sure, take a seat.
Mr Tyler: (sits down) thanks. okay. this saturday we've got a special
evening and you have to be there. our studens organised a ball and they
want to have all the
teachers there, too.
Ross: sounds good.
Mr Tyler: you can also bring your wife or girlfriend.
Ross: okay, I will.
Mr Tyler: so you'll be there?
Ross: sure (they shake hands and then Mr Tyler leaves)
Rachels hotelroom. she stands by the window with the phone in her hand.
Rachel: ...he didn't even call yet.
Monica: (v.o.) sweety, he will.
Rachel: I hope so.
Monica: he will, you'll see. (pause)
Rachel: (sobs) you know, he doesn't believe that I love him...
Monica: Rach, you know that now it's your turn to show him that you love him?
Rachel: you're right, but how?
Monica: you'll find a way. sorry Rach, but I have to go now. Good luck, bye.
Rachel: bye
Ross apt. Jennifer enters
Jennifer: Ross?...Ross? (looks around) (louder) R-o-s-s
Ross: (v.o.) I was taking a shower.
Jennifer: oh okay. (he comes out of the bathroom with a towel around his waist. imagine that :) wow..)
Ross: hey (kisses her on the lips)
Jennifer: hey you...how was your day?
Ross: great. listen, would you like to come to a ball with me at saturday evening?
Jennifer: sure. (kisses him softly and smiles)
Ross: aww, great. (kisses her back)
Jennifer: (realizes something) oh, I forgot that I have to go to Sandy now.
Ross: (disappointed) oh noo!
Jennifer: (rushes to the door) bye
When Ross says bye Jennifer already left.
Outside the building. Jennifer takes her cellphone and starts dials.
Jennifer: Rachel? ....hi....listen, can I talk to you?.....in about an hour?....at Luigis, is that okay? fine....bye.
Scene fades out
Later in a restaurant. we see Jennifer and Rachel sitting at a table.
Rachel: Okay, shoot.
Jennifer: okay, here we go..since I know how you feel about Ross and everything, I realized something. I like Ross, in fact, I like him a lot and I want him to be happy. but I don't think I love him enough to make him really happy. what I do know is that you're the only person who truly can make him happy. and I don't want to be the person between you two, or should I say three? (smiles a bit) but now you have to show him how much you love him. you hurted him really bad, so you have to do something "special". I'll leave the town tomorrow.
Rachel: what? because of Ross?
Jennifer: no, I got a job offer in australia.
Rachel: I don't know what to say...you're a great person.
Jennifer: thanks. dou you already know, how you'll show him your love?
Rachel: nope. no idea.
Jennifer: maybe you'll get the chance this saturday. he'll go to a ball at the university.
Rachel: okay. thank you so much. you have no idea how much it means to me. (hugs her)
Jennifer: I do. you know, many years ago, I lost my true love and now...(gets teary eyed)
Rachel: I'm sorry (pause) good luck in australia. maybe you'll find there a new love. (smiles)
Jennifer: we'll see.
Rachel: thank you so much for everything
Jennifer: I'm sure you'll make it. he loves you, don't forget that.
Rachel: (smiles) bye (hugs her again)
Jennifer: (breaks the hug) bye.
Scene fades out
Ross' apt. he's by the window with the phone in his hand. he dials and waits. we switch to Rachel. the phone rings when she enters the room. she gets it but Ross already hung up.
Later, Ross' phone rings and he answers it.
Ross: yes?
Jennifer: (v.o.) Hey, it's me.
Ross: hey honey, where are you?
Jennifer: (v.o.)Ross, listen. I have to leave tomorrow.
Ross: (surprised and shocked) what? why?
Jennifer: (v.o.) I got a job offer in australia and I'll take it.
Ross: what....I can't believe this....so you'll leave me.
Jennifer: (v.o.)I have to, I'm sorry. but it's my chance of a lifetime.
Ross doesn't know what to say.
Jennifer: (v.o.) Ross, are you still here?
Ross: huh? yes sure. wow....so you'll go tomorrow?
Jennifer: (v.o.)yes. (pause) Ross, don't be so sad.
Ross: but it's so hard, you know. you're the only person I have right now.
Jennifer:(v.o.) that's not true and you know it.
Ross: I'll miss you so much.
Jennifer:(v.o.) me too....
Ross: I'll bring you to the airport tomorrow, okay?
Jennifer: (v.o.) I'd love that. okay, see you then..
Ross: yeah, I guess. bye
Jennifer: (v.o.) bye
Ross hangs up the phone and looks really sad. he goes to the fridge and takes a beer out of it. he then sits on the couch and switchs on the tv while drinking his beer. time lapses. we see him lying on the couch asleep but the tv's still on.
Scene fades out
Airport. Ross and Jennifer are standing in a hall. they hug each other
Ross: god, I can't believe you're leaving to australia
Jennifer: pretty unbelievable, huh...
Ross: yeah...(pause) thank you. thank you for everything. (kisses her)
Jennifer: don't look so sad honey. (hugs him again)
While huging him, she sees Rachel standing there smiling weakly and waving. She smiles back and waves, too. Ross doesn't notice anything.
Woman: (v.o.) passengers for flight 875 to australia is now boarding.
Jennifer: (breaks the hug) I guess that's it.
Ross: (looks really sad and teary eyed) yeah...call me when you're there. and...and don't forget me.
Jennifer: (now teary eyed, too) I never will...never. bye (kisses him)
Ross: bye
She leaves with her bag and we see Ross standing there miserable.
Scene fades out
Once again a montage while a soft song like "you'll see " by Madonna is playing in the background. the montage shows us Ross in the next days.
first clip:
Ross is coming home from the airport, looking very sad. he opens the
door and throws the car keys on a chair. then he sighs and goes to
the kitchen and pours him a glass of wine. he then goes to his desk
where we can see some framed pictures. one of Ross and Monica with their
parents when they were younger. one with the whole gang hanging around
in Mon's apartment. one with Jennifer and him and one with Rachel when
they were together. he lookds at them and smiles weakly.
the song fades out.
A man comes up from behind.
Man: Dr. Gellar! welcome!
Ross: oh, hello Mr Tyler. it's great here.
Tyler: how are you doing?
Ross: I'm fine, you?
Tyler: me, too. where's your girlfriend?
Ross: (a bit sad) I don't have one (laughs weakly)
Tyler: oh sorry, I didn't know that. well, hope you'll have fun, though. there's the bar (points to a counter) if you'd like something to drink. by the way, the bowle is fantastic. (laughs and walks away)
Ross goes to the bar and takes a glass of bowle. he looks around and seems a bit left. a girl walks to him ( like Elizabeth ->I didn't like her very much, but...anyway)
Girl: hello Dr. Gellar.
Ross: hi Nicole.
Girl: did you correct our test yet?
Ross: (looks uncomfortable) well...
Ross is interuped by a man, who's standing on the platform holding a microphone.
Man: okay, hello and good evening to this ball. hope you'll have a lot
of fun and romantic moments. many thanks to the students who helped organise
this ball.
enjoy this evening and be sure to take a glass of the fantastic bowle!!
this evening starts with our school band "samsoon".
Music starts to play and the camera shows us the whole hall. it is crowded and very loud. time lapses. Ross is standing next to two men and they are talking. he looks very interested. at this time, the band has finished playing. once again the man with the microphone stands on the platform but this time nobody really takes notice of him.
Man: okay, now we've got a surprise....(pause) a surprise for ....hm...for one of you (points to the crowd). there's a woman who has something important to say. please welcome Mrs Rachel Green.
Ross didn't hear anything. he's still talking while Rachel comes up from behind and stands now on the platform. she wears a beautiful black dress and her hair's open. the dress shows her belly and everyone can see that she's pregnant.
Cuts to Ross.
1. Guy: and they didn't believe a word...I mean...
2. Guy: (looks at Rachel) woah...look at this!
Ross: what?
2. Guy: the platform, I mean, the woman over there. god, she looks like an angel.
Ross turns around and when he sees Rachel, he gets a really shocked face. he gasps and just stands there, staring at Rachel.
1. Guy: I didn't know that pregnant women can look that sexy! (laughs)
Ross: shut up! (he looks at her in disbelief)
The crowd starts clapping and we see now a piano behind Rachel. she takes the microphone and takes a deep breath. she looks around and then she sees Ross.
Silence
Rachel: (pretty nervous) Ross. Hi....uhm..okay, listen. I'm here tonight to show you how much I love you and you have to believe what I'm saying here okay. What you did about two months ago, telling me with a song how much you love me was the sweetest thing anyone ever did for me. and now I'm here...to do the same..(gets teary eyed) telling in front of all this people here, that I love you....I love you Ross Gellar and no one else. (tears are rolling down her cheeks) I want to be with you, I want to kiss you, I want to touch you, I want to feel you...again. I never loved someone like I love you and I want to be with you for the rest of my life. You're the one who can make me cry and the one who can make me laugh. (sobs) and you're the only person who can make me happy again. you're my best friend, the man I love and the father of my baby. (begins to cry softly) I can't live without you Ross. Please take me back...forgive me..I was so stupid. I was scared, that's why I run away, not because I didn't love you...I do love you! Please....forgive me (breaks down in tears)
Some of the people have tears in their eyes. Ross stands there wihout making a move. He just stars at her waiting for what will happen.
Rachel: Ross.....there's somebody who can tell you how I feel. (Alicia Keys comes out and sits at the piano) Ross, this one's for you...
(Alicia Keys starts playing "fallin'" (I chose this song 'cause I love it so much) while Rachel just stands there, looking hopefully at Ross.)
I keep on fallin’
In and out of love
With you
Sometimes I love ya
Sometimes u make me blue
Sometimes I feel good
At times I feel used
Lovin you darlin’
Makes me so confused
Ross looks at Rachel then looks down. Then, he looks at her again now teary eyed. Rachel's teary eyed, too.
I keep on
Fallin’
In and out of love with you
I never loved someone
The way that I love you
Ross wipes away his tears. We see the people staring at him, waiting for a reaction.
Oh, oh , I never felt this way
How do you give me so much pleasure
And cause me so much pain
Just when I think
Ive taken more than would a fool
I start fallin’ back in love with you
Ross slowly begins to walk toward the platform. People are cheering. Rachel starts to cry again.
I keep on
Fallin’
In and out of love with you
I never loved someone
The way that I love you
Ross stops in front of the platform, looking deep into Rachels eyes.
Oh baby
I, I, I, I’m fallin’
I, I, I, I’m fallin’
Fall
He slowly goes up to her and stands now in front of her.
I keep on
Fallin’
In and out of love with you
I never loved someone
The way that I love you
Rachel: (in a slow voice, sobbing) Ross, I'm so...(he puts his fingers on her lips and kisses her softly)
Im fallin’
In and out of love with you
I never loved someone
The way that I love you
The kiss gets more intense and then Ross breaks it. he wipes away her tears and just hugs her.
Im fallin’
In and out of love with you
I never loved someone
The way that I love you
She hugs him tighter and cries softly. He breaks the hug again.
Ross: (softly) I love you, too...Rach...I love you so much.
What?
Both are crying and hugging each other. Everybody starts clapping and cheering.
Then Ross and Rachel smile at each other and then they kiss passionately.
Imagine the most passionate kiss ever...Camera slowly fades out with them
kissing...
