Friends - The One with the Donor

PROBABILITY	ADVISIBILITY
MAY/MIGHT/COULD
POSSIBILITY (MAYBE ) I may get to speak at this paleontology convention. So what I am saying is that the repercussions could be huge! Are you just tired now or are you always tired, because that could be a sign of clinical depression. And it could be soon. Well, we're talking about sperm donors and Zack may be the guy! Right now, somewhere out there our baby could be being conceived. Wait, if we're lucky, and we're really, really, really quiet, we may be able to hear the sound of a condom breaking! Maybe you could take Charlie shopping. Maybe we could do something else. Well, maybe she didn't hear! Well., this is probably a stupid question, seeing that you look like that.	PERMISSION
MUST
LOGICAL CONCLUSION / EMPATHY	NECESSITY I have to go shopping today. You always, always, always have to put on underwear when you're trying on clothes. Now I have to go so he'll think that I'm totally ok with seeing him! You're going to have to look fabulous! Ross, you have to get that job! I still have to go find something incredible to wear so I can beat Mike at "who's more over who"! I've got to get out of here; the smell of beets is killing me! Do you have some place that you need to be right now?. So, I don't have to learn what that means?
SHOULD/OUGHT TO
LOGICAL EXPECTATION	ADVICE/OBLIGATION No, no, I should get home. I'm kind of tired. Should I ask him? What am I supposed to do? You know, I'm the husband. I'm supposed to bring the sperm. Why don't you come? Why don't you have a seat, Zach, and I'll get you a beer. Let's shop!! Alright! Let's just do it. Let's just go over there and just see if she heard. Wait a minute, you guys. Come on Ross, be a good guy. Step up and do it! You stay in here and I'll talk and see if you can hear me. Well, get back in there and talk! Just be honest with her. Well, just wake him up! Alright, then you go to that party and you pretend to be over Mike. And afterward you come to my place and I'll get you good and drunk! Oh, don't worry. Then don't go!
CAN/COULD
ABILITY I think I can safely say that we all have family issues, work stuff and/or are sick. I still can't believe this! Oh, I can't. ... because I've seen them. You stay in here and I'll talk and see if you can hear me. Oh, thank God I can't hear a word that you're saying. I still have to go find something incredible to wear so I can beat Mike .. Well, after eight years of research I discovered that it can't be done. And if I can't get pregnant with you, then I don't want to get pregnant by him. We may be able to hear the sound of a condom breaking. I invited him to dinner so you could get a chance to get to know him! IMPOSSIBILITY/DISBELIEF	PERMISSION You can just throw most of our assumptions, you know, right in the trash. You can't do anything about it. (He's already..) So can we keep this between us? You can't just bring some random guy home and expect him to be our sperm donor! OPTION And, of course, if you feel that neither of those is right for you, you could always adopt. I can't! (wake him up) Maybe you could take Charlie shopping Maybe we could do something else. It could be better! He ... fell asleep!
WILL/WOULD
FUTURE Now I have to go so he'll think that I'm totally ok with seeing him! We 'll see you, guys! Fine, I'll rent a car and drive...! I'll see you tomorrow. If he realizes that I'm the one that put him to sleep, I won't get the job! You are going to come back with some very classy clothes. He's going to be there. And you're going to want him to eat his heart out, so you're going to have to look fabulous! That's not what we're going to do! You're not going to do a magic trick, are you? I am not going to give them Ben! I'm not going to be a part of this! Ok I'm going to go into that dressing room. Oh! What are we going to do? I'm going to go wash up first. I'm going to take off now. You're going to let me go home, aren't you? Our kid's going to get that from you anyway! So this is it, we're really going to adopt? Oh my God, we're going to be parents! We are going to be great parents. I'm taking Charlie shopping. Who's making the decision? I'm meeting with him today. Joey and I are going to a movie tonight. Mike knows I'm coming, and if I don't show up he'll think it's because of him! And then I'm going to lose face! This way when I go to the party later Mike will know I am over him because I'm going to smell like another guy. PAST HABIT:	WILLINGNESS (OFFER) I'll help you find something. Why don't you have a seat Zack, and I'll get you a beer. You stay in here and I'll talk and see if you can hear me. And afterward you come to my place and I'll get you good and drunk! REFUSAL
CAN/COULD/WILL/WOULD
OFFER I'd love for you guys to come and hear me. As a "thank you", I would really love to take you out. How would you like to have a baby that's half yours and half his! Do you want to get a drink? I'd love to. I'll help you find something. Ok, that'd be great REQUEST If you have the time, I'd really appreciate the help. Oh, I'll take some of that. Hey Rach, will you come with me to a dressing room?
