(Ross opened a small mahogany case. The ring was silver. It had Rachel's birthstones(
amethysts) on two sides and the diamond in the middle was 10k.)
Monica: Oh my God Ross. How much did te pay for this?
Ross: Thirteen thousand dollars even. It was worth so much più but thank god I got a deal on it.
Monica: What?!? How much was it originally worth?
Ross: Eighteen thousand dollars.
Monica: What?!?! Chandler didn't even spend ten thousand dollars on my ring!

Phoebe: ciao guys.
Monica: ciao Pheebs. Where have te been?
Phoebe: te do not want to know.
Chandler: Anyway, uh so where's Mike?
Phoebe: He's at a gig. He's performing for a high school dance. Its either that o there are some really geeky adult guys at a high school who are desperate for sex.
Monica: ciao Phoebe te want to stay for cena and help me and Chandler babysit Emma?
Phoebe: Sure. Oh right, Ross is proposing tonight. Well I'm sure this one won't end the same way all his other marriages did.
Chandler: I really doubt it will too. I mean Rachel can't be gay, He will be saying "I Ross, take thee Rachel," and that name has already been programed in his head..and I'm sure they won't be eloping drunk in Vegas.
Chandler: Wait. No, Yep those are all his divorces. ciao does anyone know where Joey went?
Phoebe: Oh, he's with that girl again. Um..Jamie. They're really hitting it off.
Monica: Yeah haven't they been together for like almost two months now?
Phoebe: Yeah.
Chandler: Wow. Go Joe. In two months Joey would've slept with at least ten girls and didn't call them back.
Monica: Oh, I just remembered did te know that Ross had spent thirteen thousand dollars on Rachel's engagement ring?
Phoebe: What?
Monica: And he got a deal on it.
Phoebe: Well how much was it originally worth?
Monica: Eighteen thousand dollars.
Phoebe: Boy did I marry the wrong guy.
Chandler: Doesn't really surprise me.
Monica: Why?
Chandler: Well I mean come on it's Ross were talking about. When he loves a girl he loves her to death. He gets serious. Have te seen the ring he gave to Carol? I haven't but I'm sure it was great.
(We enter Ross and Rachel's apartment. Ross had picked up Rachel.)
Rachel: Okay, just give me ten minuti and then we can go.
Ross: Actually fifteen will be better I have to go check on Emma at Mon's. I'll come back here and then I'll change then we can go. I'll be right back.
(Rachel walks into bedroom and Ross heads off to Chandler and Monica's. We then enter their apartment.)
Ross: ciao guys.
Phoebe: Whoa mister what are te doing over here? Shouldn't te be doing some proposing?
Ross: I Lost the ring.
Monica and Phoebe: WHAT?!?!
Phoebe: te Lost an eighteen thousand dollar ring? How stupid could te be?
Ross: I know. Can te please just help me find it? I think I left it here when I dropped off Emma.
Monica: Okay, okay. Everybody cerca the apartment. Chandler te just..watch the kids.
(ten minuti later)
Ross: Oh my God... Okay I'll just have to propose without it. I have to get ready in five minutes. Uh..I'll bring Emma with me. Thanks for watching her while I prepared the place.
Chandler: No problem man.
Ross: Wish me luck.
Phoebe: Good luck. Dumbass.
Ross: I- oh forget it.
(We enter Ross' apartment. Ross walks in with Emma. Rachel walks out in a wine colored dress with a black jacket.)
Rachel: Hey. Hi Emma. Oh te coming with me and daddy?
Ross: Yeah I just decided to bring her with us instead of having Mon and Chandler having to take care of her. God. te look..Beautiful. Phenomenal.
Rachel: Hm, thank you.
Ross: I'll go change really quick.
(five minuti later in the car. They are all buckled up ready to go.)
Okay. Before we go I want te to put this blindfold on.
Rachel: Why?
Ross: It's a surprise. Come on. Here I'll put it on you. Now let's go.
(They enter the museum. Ross brings Rachel with Emma into a dark hallway before the planetarium.)
Ross: Take off your blindfold and start walking when I tell you.
(Ross looks into Emma's latte bag to give her, her milk. Instead he finds the ring. He grabs it and gives the latte bag back to Rachel and runs across to the operating room. Grabs the remote for the sound system and stella, star presentation.)
Ross: Start walking Rach! Walk towards the light.
(When she nearly reaches the edge of the hallway, he activates the sound system which begins to play "The Way te Look Tonight". Rachel finally comes out of the hallway. She sees Ross across the planetarium. She walks toward him. She looks around realizing that there are lilies on the floor. She finally walks up to Ross in the center of the planetarium.)
Rachel: Ross, what's going on?
(Ross took Rachel's hand)
Ross: Rachel, all my life I have been looking for the one person I know I was meant to spend the rest of my life with. But each time I failed to find who that person was. Then about eight and a half years ago, I found you. I knew it was you. You are the person I was meant to spend the rest of my life with. But I had made the stupid mistake of letting te go. I hated myself for that. But right here right now, I am promising one thing to you. (both begin crying) As long as I live I will make te happier than anyone could intake in a lifetime. I will Amore te so much that no one in this world could experience. I want to grow old with you. I want to Amore te till the giorno I die.
(He turned the stella, star presentation on and then kneels down.)
Rachel: Oh my God.
Ross: Rachel Karen Greene, look up.
(Rachel looks up and reads "will te marry me" written in the stars. While doing this Ross takes out the ring and presents it to her when she looks down.)
Ross: Will te marry me?
Rachel: (in tears) Yes.
(He puts the ring on her hand. He gets up and kisses her. The audience screams and shouts. He then picks up Emma and gives them a big hug. He then puts his head against Rachel's and whispers:)
Ross: Happy anniversary.
(Marta Kauffman David gru Kevin Bright credits)
(We enter Monica and Chandler's apartment. Ross Rachel and Emma walk in.)
Ross: te are now looking at the newly engaged Mr. and Mrs. Ross Geller!
