Ross: Yeah, I'll get right on that.
Rachel: Oh come on Ross!! (She tries to switch places with him and goes under his leg.)
Ross: No Rach! Come on! No-no! Yeah, I'm sure we won't get arrested for this.
(She sits back up as the policeman approaches. She undoes her top button.)

Ross: Oh my God.
Policeman: Can I see your license please?
Rachel: Oh yes, absolutely! Y'know, it's weird uh, but I had a dream last night where I was stopped by a policeman. And then he uh…well I probably shouldn't tell you the rest.

NEXT SCENE

Ross: Who?
Rachel: Fourth gear!!
(Suddenly a siren goes off.)
Ross: What?! What does he want?! I wasn't doing anything!
Rachel: Well maybe he saw your hand slip briefly from the ten and two o'clock position.
Ross: Maybe it's uh Sergeant Sagittarius coming back to flirt some more! (They pull over.)
Rachel: It's a different guy!
(The policeman walks up.)
Ross: Good evening officer.
Policeman: Do you know how fast you were traveling back there?
Ross: Ah no. I don't, but it could not have been more than sixty.
Policeman: You're right. It was 37. (Rachel laughs.)
Ross: I mean you're not gonna give me a-a ticket for driving too slow are ya?
Policeman: That's right.
