[English]

try to imagine this the phone bill

arrives but you don't pay it right away

why not because you're a

c instead you wait until they send you a

notice I could do that okay okay then uh

you let me go grocery shopping and I buy

laundry detergent but it's not the one

with the easy poor spout why would

someone do

that one might wonder

someone's left a glass on the coffee

table there's no coaster it's a cold

drink it's a hot day little beads of

condensation are inching their way

closer and closer to the surface of the

wood stop

it oh my God it's true who am I Monica

here

about in that Reckless halfhazard

whenever she is a cook

[Music]

if it bothers you that much just go out

and get the

shoes no don't do this this is stupid I

don't have to prove anything I'm going

to go get

them but then everyone will know

unless I get them and then wake up

really early and put them back oh I need

[Music]

sec okay I think I might know why my

parents don't like you you do why okay

remember we were young hey spring break

sophomore year I I got high in my

bedroom and my parents walked in and

smelled it and so I told them that you

had gotten stoned and jumped out the

window what why did you do that I don't

know uh your was the first name that

that popped into my head I'm I'm sorry I

didn't I didn't think it' matter how

could it not matter well how was I

supposed to know we'd end up being

friends after college let alone you

you'd be living with my sister what

about all that friends forever stuff I

don't know I I was all

high mom and dad just sent me in here to

find out if you were trying to get Raw

Stone your parents caught raw smoking

pot in college and he blamed on me Ross

I can't believe you do that the reason

we haven't told them we're together is

because they hate me okay so will you

fix this okay okay I'll tell them it

wasn't Chandler who got high okay now

who should I say it

was you it's not like it's a big deal

you you don't still do it or anything

all right all right now now who should I

say tricked me into doing

it let's go oh yeah yeah about telling

Mom and Dad I was thinking about maybe

writing a letter you know what that's it

you've had your chance what Mom Dad raw

smoked pot in college

whatt you are such a tattle

tail mom

dad you remember that that time you

walked in my room and smelled marijuana

yes yes

well I told you it was Chandler who was

smoking the pot

but it was me I'm sorry it was you and

Dad you know that mailman that you got

fired didn't steal your Playboys

rosted yeah well Hurricane Gloria didn't

break the porch swing Monica

Ross hasn't worked at the museum for a

year Monica and Cher are living

together Ross married Rachel in Vegas

and got divorced

again that's a lot of information to get

in 30

seconds all right Monica why you felt

you had to hide the fact that you're an

important relationship is beyond me and

we kind of figured about the porch

swing Ras drugs divorced

again what happened son I I uh I got

tricked into all those

things

Chandler you've been Ross's best friend

all these years stuck by him during the

drug problems

and now you've taken on Monica as well

well I don't know what to say you're a

wonderful human

being thank you no thank

you Monica and Ross I don't know what

I'm going to do about the two of

you I'll talk to

them really excited about our wedding

plans and well I guess pretty soon we be

making a big withdrawal from the Monica

wedding

fund what you tell her Jack I can't do

it what happened you still have the

Monica wedding fund don't you we have it

only now we call it a beach

house I can't believe you spent my

wedding fund on the beach house we're

sorry honey but we just assumed if you

got married after you turned 30 you'd

pay for it yourself you bought the beach

house when I was 23 which means you had

seven years of Beach fun and you can't

put a price on that

sweetie I really do feel bad about this

though we started saving again when you

were dating Richard but then that went

to hell so we redid the

kitchen what about when I started dating

Chandler well it was Chandler we didn't

think he'd ever

proposed clearly I did not start

drinking enough at the start of the

meal I can't believe it that there is no

money for my wedding we might still have

some money if you your father hadn't

thought it was a good idea to sell ice

over the Internet it seemed like such a

simple idea stupid Jack the word is

stupid all right enough I don't want to

hear about it

anymore good luck

Chandler looks like she didn't leave in

such a hurry after all oh I think this

is the episode of Three's Company where

there's some kind of

misunderstanding then I've already seen

this one

are you through with

that yeah sorry the swallowing slowed me

down whose little ball of paper is this

oh that would be mine see uh I wrote a

note to myself and then I realized I

didn't need the note so I balded it up

and now I wish I was

dead she already fuff that pillow Monica

you know you already fuff but it's

fine look I'm sorry guys I just don't

want to give them any more ammunition

than they already have yes and we all

know how cruel a parent can be about the

flag

of a child's

pillow Monica hi

um Monica um you're scaring

me I mean you're like you're like all

chaotic and twirly you know Ian and not

not in a good

way yeah calm down you don't see Ross

getting all chaotic and twirly every

time they come that's because as far as

my parents are concerned Ross can do no

wrong you see he's the prince apparently

they had some big ceremony before I was

born probably never be able to make it

up to you but here's a

start what's this it's the key to my
