I should be getting the scripts from Episodes 6.02-6.04 ("The One Where Ross Hugs Rachel," "The One With Ross' Denial," and "The One Where Joey Loses His Insurance") soon.
I'm not sure if any of the scripts have material that wasn't used in the shows, as I don't have them yet, but if they do, does anyone want me to post them here?

They're the actual scripts. Check out www.scriptshop.com for more. Their selection of Friends scripts has improved. They have a lot of season six scripts, and two season 5 scripts. :)

They're probably too long for most people on ATF, but I'd love a set of copies, and any other scripts you have Andy. Perhaps you could email them to me, and anyone else who's interested. My email address is below.
The reason you think those were so different from the final versions is that we heard about things that happened in their table drafts. The majority of scripts will have changed a *lot* from the time of the table draft to the final draft. I'm not sure if you heard about what happened in the 601 table draft, or are basing the fact that it changed a lot on the documentary, which was taped on a filming day, and therefore almost the final draft. I actually don't think it changed that much from what they were doing filming day compared with its table draft, in which Ross and Rachel wake up in bed together and discover for themselves that they're married and try to remember why, finally remembering that they got married because the people at the tattoo place wouldn't let them get tattoos because they were drunk, so they got married instead. Anyway, I definitely wouldn't say that those 3 are the only ones whose scripts are different from the finished episodes; those are just the ones you have information about. Early table drafts of scripts are almost *always* very very different.

..and yes, it was the documentary that prompted me to add 601. :)
The rest of this contains fairly minor plot spoilers for 601, which are nevertheless MAJOR plot spoilers for 523/524, the finale of Season Five, so some Europeans may wish to stop reading here...

The documentary also showed Ross & Rachel arriving for breakfast, where Joey noticed that Ross was wearing makeup to hide the faded ink on his face, prompting Chandler to joke about Ross's femininity.
There are a number of other *supposed* plot errors in 601 that were not covered by the documentary, such as how long it was from Phoebe last being seen drunk to driving her taxi, hours or days?
Yes indeed Larissa, hence my "AFAIK"...
.. and yes again, hence "Larissa can give better guidance". :)
Ooooh, the same applies to me. There are 2,429 posts that I have not yet read, which my system has archived until June 9th (the day after Britain sees the Season 6 finale), because some of them will contain spoilers.
According to the table draft script I have, Day 1 is the night that Ross & Rachel got married, so Phoebe gets drunk the morning of Day 2. Then in the daytime of Day 2, Joey and Phoebe say bye in the casino and exit. Day 3 is the first time that Phoebe is shown driving, so maybe all the alcohol was out of her body by then.
Actually, I only have those scripts that I listed. And I wasn't talking about typing up the whole script...just the bits that we didn't see on the show, or things that might have been different than the final product. (i.e. line rewrites, cut lines and scenes, etc. :)

I hope you get early table draft versions of the scripts; they'll have many more changes.
I think it would actually be faster to type them up. Friends scripts run an average of 50 pages, and something tells me he doesn't want to scan that much. :)
