- Joey hands free tickets for his play; when Monica asks two, flaunting having a boy-friend, everyone wants two, even if the date is still to be found. Only Phoebe is turning oblivious to the world, sitting by the phone and believing a repairs services' hypocritical recorded message 'you're call is next and important to us'. Ross finds Rachel's hush date Tommy is obnoxiously rude to everyone, except when her other friends are around, and the harder he tries to get them to see it, the more 'still jealous' he looks, until the roomies' chick...

- Ross reveals that he is bringing a date (Cailin from the museum) to Joey's play. Rachel gets jealous and decides to find a date at the very last minute, so she doesn't have to go to play alone, while Ross is there with his date. Rachel dates Tommy (Ben Stiller), an aggressive bully who terrorizes anyone crossing him. When only Ross observes his bad behavior (Ross and Rachel were the first ones at the theatre, and when the women go to the washroom, Tommy yells at this old couple who were sitting in their seats when they read their tickets wrong), everyone else claims he is just jealous over Rachel. Ross warns Rachel about Tommy's behavior, but Rachel also ignores him. Ross walks out of the coffee house and bumps into Tommy with hot coffee in his hands.. Tommy ends up yelling at Ross right outside the coffee place, but nobody sees that.. Once inside, Tommy is all normal and civil.
Joey and Kate are dating.. Joey introduces her to his friends, but then the director comes in and ends up kissing Kate in front of everyone. Cailin leaves as she feels neglected by Ross. At the after party, Marshall (the director of the play) brings a newspaper with the review. He gets really frustrated when the review is bad for both him and for Kate. Joey as described as "not the worst in the play" and he is totally happy. Marshall dumps Kate after her negative review. Joey ends up going to her place after she gets drunk.. Kate ends up falling asleep when Joey was trying to have a serious conversation about why she picked Marshall over him. Later, she wakes up and she and Joey spend the whole night talking. Joey and Kate part when she gets an acting job in Los Angeles. She says goodbye to Joey on the sets of the play (where Lauren had replaced Kate in her role).
Using Monica's phone, Phoebe is on hold for days waiting to speak to a company before her warranty expires (her crappy broken phone needs to be fixed and the warranty expires in a day), unaware it is not a toll-free "800" number. She even misses Joey's play so she doesn't miss talking to the company service center. She is bored, and so while everybody was at the play she switched all the items between Monica and Rachel's rooms. When the gang realizes that its not a toll free number, they force Phoebe to hang up the phone.. She does, but she ends up breaking it. She offers Monica the customer service number where she can call to get it fixed.
The rest of the gang finally sees Tommy's true character when he screams at the chick and the duck. Tommy goes across the hall to use Chandler's phone, as Phoebe was still on the call.. In there, Tommy sees the chick and picks it up, but is grossed out when he yells at the chick and the rest of the gang sees him.
