[Applause] 04:03
What? 04:10
I made a bet with myself that you had 04:16
beautiful eyes. Now that I see them, I 04:18

What? 04:25
We're at my stop. But would you like to 04:27
have coffee? 04:30
[Music] 04:31
Are we really in Montreal? Yes, we are. 04:35
So, coffee. 04:39
Coffee sounds great. 04:42
Wait, so so you live in Montreal? Oh, 04:46
no, but it's just a two-hour ferry ride 04:50
to Nova Scotia. 04:52
and I were talking and and I was so 04:55
upset about the hall being knocked down 04:58
and she suggested that we just put the 05:00
wedding off for a bit. 05:02
She said what? She said if I'm not going 05:06
to be happy getting married somewhere 05:08
that we can find in a day, well then we 05:09
should just postpone it. 05:11
Postpone 05:16
it. Emily, do you think Monica realizes 05:17
how much our parents spent on this 05:21
wedding? Do you think my sister's teeny 05:22
tiny little brain comprehends that 05:25
people took time out of their lives to 05:28
fly thousands of miles to be here? Huh? 05:31
This isn't right. 05:38
I realize that people are going to be 05:40
disappointed, but I'm sure they'll come 05:42
back when we can do it right. Well, I 05:44
can't ask people to do that. Would you 05:46
ask people to do that? Don't you point 05:48
your pants at me. 05:50
We have no choice. Anywhere that's half 05:53
decent will have been booked months ago. 05:56
Ross, don't you understand? This is our 05:58
wedding I'm talking about. The only 05:59
thing I understand is postponing it is 06:01
not an option. This is when we're 06:03
getting married. So, what are you 06:05
saying? It's now or never. No, I'm 06:06
saying it's now or there's no or in 06:08
mine. What is wrong with these pants? 06:10
It's not the pants. It's you backwards. 06:16
And if and if you don't understand how 06:18
important this is to me, well then 06:20
perhaps we shouldn't be getting married 06:22
at all. Emily, no. Wait, stop. Emily, 06:23
please. 06:26
I mean, my mom never thought this would 06:30
work 06:33
out. She was all once a cheater, always 06:34
a cheater. 06:37
Mhm. Oh, I just wish we hadn't lost 06:40
those four months. 06:44
But if time was what you needed just to 06:46
gain a little perspective, 06:48
we were on a break. 06:53
Coffee house. You bet. And for the 06:57
record, it took two people to break up 07:00
this relationship. Yeah. You and that 07:02
girl from that copy place, which 07:05
yesterday you took full responsibility 07:06
for. I didn't know what I was taking 07:08
responsibility for. Okay. I didn't 07:10
finish the whole letter. What? I fell 07:12
asleep. You fell asleep. 07:15
It was 5:30 in the morning and you had 07:19
rambled on for 18 07:23
pages, front and 07:27
back. Oh, and by the way, y apostrophe 07:31
re means you are. Y R means you're 07:35
You know, I can't believe I even thought 07:40
of getting back together with you. We 07:42
are so over. 07:44
Fine by me. 07:47
Oh. Oh, and hey, hey, hey. Those little 07:50
spelling tips will come in handy when 07:51
you're at home on Saturday nights 07:53
playing Scrabble with Monica. Hey, 07:54
sorry. 07:56
I just feel bad about all that sleep 07:59
you're going to miss. Wishing you were 08:00
with me. Oh, no. No. Don't you worry 08:02
about me falling asleep. I still have 08:04
your letter. That's what I got going for 08:06
the party so far liquor-wise. 08:09
Get a lot of liquor. Great. Great. Okay. 08:11
Now, uh, in terms of the invite list, 08:14
obviously I got you, me, and Chandler, 08:16
and I'm going to invite Gunther because, 08:18
well, we've been talking about this 08:19
pretty loud. I'll be 08:21
there. Oh, listen. I know it's your 08:23
party, but I'd really like to limit the 08:26
number of museum geeks that are going to 08:27
be there. Yeah. Tell you what, let's not 08:29
invite any of the anthropologists, okay? 08:31
Just the dinosaur dudes. 08:33
Okay. We need a six-ack of Zema. 08:38
Hey guys, what are you doing? Oh, just 08:42
planning my bachelor party with my best 08:45
man. Yeah, well, good luck trying to top 08:47
the last one. Yeah, see, I don't think 08:50
it's going to be that difficult 08:52
considering this one won't take place in 08:53
the basement of a Pizza Hut. 08:55
Oh, I'm Ross. I'm Ross. I'm too good for 08:58
the hut. I'm too good for the hut. 09:00
Look, I got to go pick up Ben. Uh, 09:03
everything so far sounds great, Joey. 09:05
Just remember, keep it on the mellow 09:07
side, okay? Just a couple of guys 09:08
hanging out playing poker. No, no 09:10
strippers or anything. Okay, you got it. 09:12
Okay, see you later. Yeah. 09:14
Have fun planning your mellow bachelor 09:18
party. 09:19
There's going to be strippers there. You 09:21
didn't say anything about no strippers. 09:23
He just said no strippers. Oh, I chose 09:28
not to hear that. 09:30
[Music] 09:33
Hey, Monica, it's Chip. Yes. Who's Chip? 09:34

pages. I hope I don't fall asleep. 10:31
Why did you write it? 10:34
Whoa, look at that. Chip Matthews 10:40

She said what? She said if I'm not going
to be happy getting married somewhere
that we can find in a day, well then we
should just postpone it.
Postpone
it. Emily, do you think Monica realizes
how much our parents spent on this
wedding? Do you think my sister's teeny
tiny little brain comprehends that
people took time out of their lives to
fly thousands of miles to be here? Huh?
This isn't right.
I realize that people are going to be
disappointed, but I'm sure they'll come
back when we can do it right. Well, I
can't ask people to do that. Would you
ask people to do that? Don't you point
your pants at me.
We have no choice. Anywhere that's half
decent will have been booked months ago.
Ross, don't you understand? This is our
wedding I'm talking about. The only
thing I understand is postponing it is
not an option. This is when we're
getting married. So, what are you
saying? It's now or never. No, I'm
saying it's now or there's no or in
mine. What is wrong with these pants?
It's not the pants. It's you backwards.
And if and if you don't understand how
important this is to me, well then
perhaps we shouldn't be getting married
at all. Emily, no. Wait, stop. Emily,
please.
I mean, my mom never thought this would
work
out. She was all once a cheater, always
a cheater.
Mhm. Oh, I just wish we hadn't lost
those four months.
But if time was what you needed just to
gain a little perspective,
we were on a break.
Coffee house. You bet. And for the
record, it took two people to break up
this relationship. Yeah. You and that
girl from that copy place, which
yesterday you took full responsibility
for. I didn't know what I was taking
responsibility for. Okay. I didn't
finish the whole letter. What? I fell
asleep. You fell asleep.
It was 5:30 in the morning and you had
