A script from a memorable "Friends" episode is headed for auction as the seller commits to donating a percentage of the sale to the Matthew Perry Foundation. The written work is up for grabs by Hanson Ross, an auction house located in the United Kingdom. The script, from the Season 8, double-length finale of the popular American sitcom, is 76 pages long and is classified as a "table read" copy.
Ollie Locke, an English actor, is the current owner of the script after purchasing it at an auction before one of the cast members, Matthew Perry, died in October 2023. Locke told Hanson Ross that he had been a fan of the show for years and always wanted to own a script. "I watched 'Friends' right from the beginning, in our dorm at school in fact," he recalled.
Locke said that when Perry died six months ago, he wanted to do something special to help the Matthew Perry Foundation — an organization dedicated to helping people who struggle with addictions. "It suddenly crossed my mind that I could do something special to help the Matthew Perry Foundation when I saw that another ‘Friends’ TV script had gone crazy at auction," Locke told Hanson Ross.
Along with the script, the pop culture auction will include the sonogram of Rachel’s "baby," which was used in the same episode. The inclusion was consigned by a seller in Scotland and is expected to sell for over $650. In January, two original scripts from the "Friends" episode "The One With Ross’s Wedding Part I" sold at a Hanson Ross auction for $31,700. Two hundred and nineteen bidders attempted to purchase the script. The hopeful buyers were from the U.K.
