[English]

I hope you're hungry. We're starting

with oysters.

oysters are an aphrodisiac.

>> What people?

>> People say it.

Come here.

So, oysters, huh?

>> And then we're going to have a little um

Middle Eastern couscous. Something we

can eat with our hands.

>> You know, it's funny. When we were

studying communicable diseases,

>> No, no, no, no, no.

>> It's sensual.

>> Oh, didn't know. Okay.

>> Okay.

Oh, no.

>> I'm sorry, sweetie. It's the hospital.

The food looks great. Maybe save me

I mean, it's you guys. You You do this

kind of stuff, you know? I mean, you you

were going to get married in Vegas and

then you backed out. It's I guess I'm

sorry.

Rachel,

it's going to happen.

Chandler is going to move in here. But I

I know we we just let me finish, okay?

This isn't something that we just just

impulsively decided to do in in Vegas.

This is something that we both really

want

and it is going to happen.

>> It is.

Really?

Yeah, sweetie.

You mean we're we're not going to live

together anymore?

lights nowadays? I remember when people

used to use big lights. That's a good

story, Grandpa.

>> Hey.

>> Hey.

>> Wow.

Monica's letting other people help

decorate her tree. Did someone get her

drunk again? Or

>> having a perfectly decorated tree is not

what Christmas is about. It's about

being with the people that you love.

>> That is nice. And we're done. Tada.

>> I don't know what it is. Just doesn't

quite feel like Christmas to me. Oh,

yes.

>> See, now it feels like Christmas.

work if I'm sick.

>> I'm so sorry that you're sick.

>> I'm not sick.

I don't get sick. Getting sick is for

weeklings. It's for pansies.

Honey, no one thinks that you're a

pansy, but we do think that you need a

tissue.

>> I have not been sick in over 3 years.

>> I'm going to grab you some tissue. I

>> I don't need a tissue. I'm fine.

say.

>> Okay. So, what do you what do you want

to do? Let's do something crazy.

>> I know. Let's rest and drink lots of

fluids.

>> Okay, I'll rest. But, you know, if I'm

going to bed, then you're coming with

me.

>> See, that would be impossible to resist

if you weren't all

drippy here.

Are you saying that you don't want to

get with this?

[Laughter]

>> Yeah, I don't think you should say that

even when you're healthy.

>> Come on.

>> Don't take this personally, okay? It's

just that I just can't have sex with a

sick person now.

>> I'm with you, Chandler. I mean, I can't

have sex with a sick person either. It's

disgusting. But I'm not sick. Let me

prove it to you.

We are two healthy people and the bribe

of live.

>> See, that's the thing. I would like to

stay in the priv.

>> Oh, what is it, honey? You need some

tea? Some soup?

Oh,

>> calling Dr. Big. Dr. Big to the bed.

>> Oh, jeez. Honey, I thought I thought you

were asleep.

>> How can I be asleep? Know that you were

the next room.

>> I was asleep.

>> Oh, no. No, no, honey. You know what's

sexy? Layers.

>> Layers are sexy. And blankets are sexy.

And oh, hot water bottles are sexy.

>> Come on, get it to bed. I want to prove

to you that I'm not sick. I want to make

you feel as good as I feel. Ash,

>> please get some rest.

>> I'm fine.

[Laughter]

Uh, Chandler was just saying how

beautiful your sweater is.

>> Oh, thank you, Chandler. I just bought

it.

>> Oh, yes. as well. It's very beautiful

and it's cream colored and tight and

I don't mean tight. I mean it's not too

tight. Not that I was looking at

>> What's the matter with him?

>> I think he's stoned again.

>> What?

>> What?

>> Dude, I need to talk to you a 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, yours was the first

name that that popped into my head. I'm

I'm sorry. I didn't I didn't think it'd

matter.

>> How could it not matter? Well, how was I

supposed to know we'd end up being

friends after college? Let alone knew

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 Ross

stoned.

>> Your parents caught Ross smoking pot in

college and he blamed it 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. About telling mom and dad. I

was thinking about maybe writing a

letter. All right. You know what? That's

it. You've had your chance.

>> What?

>> Mom, Dad, Ross smoked pot in college.

>> What?

>> You are such a tattletail.

>> 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? Ross did.

[Laughter]

>> Yeah. Well, Hurricane Gloria didn't

break the porch swing. Monica dead.

>> Ross hasn't worked at the museum for a

year.

>> Monica and Chandler are living together.

>> Boss 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 in an

important relationship is beyond me.

>> And we kind of figured about the porch

swing.

>> Brass, 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

>> on the platform ready to dance the world

into the new millennium and the guy

yells, "Cut."

>> Wait a minute. So, you guys are telling

me that you actually did the routine

from 8th grade?

>> Yeah. But, of course, we had to update

it a little bit. But, hey, by the way,

quick thinking about catching me.

Yeah, cuz I was going to say there's no

way you could have done the end the way

you guys did it back then.

>> What? We could do it.

>> I don't know. I mean, you're a lot

bigger. I mean, stronger back then.

>> I can do it. Okay, come on. Let's go.

>> One, two, three, four, five, six, seven,

eight.

>> I can't do it.

Now you do that, you're on TV. You

>> sold a story to Aren't you comics?

>> Oh my god, that's so great. Oh wow,

you're a Polish writer. I wish I had a

present for you.

>> Wait a minute.

>> My last kid could get more.

>> You want to share it?

>> Okay. Okay.

Hey. Hey.

>> Okay, Jan. Look, I know you're mad, but

I just want to say I'm sorry. I I was a

total jerk. Completely o over the line.

I just I hate pulp, you know. You know

how Monica feels about lowfat

mayonnaise.

>> Not me.

>> Sorry, peeps. I I guess I'm just really

sad that I'm leaving. I'm going to miss

you so much.

>> Well, this doesn't have to be so sad,

though. You know, maybe instead of just

thinking about how much you're going to

miss each other, you should like think

about some of the things that you're not

going to miss.

>> I don't think there's anything.

>> Come on. There's got to be something.

>> Oh, she's perfect.

>> I have one.

Great. Okay, you can go first. Uh, well,

I guess I'm not going to miss the fact

that you're never allowed to move the

phone pin.

>> Good. That's a good one. Okay, Monica,

anything you know, does Rachel move the

phone pin?

>> A sometimes.

>> Always actually.

>> Okay, good. There you go. Doesn't

everyone feel better?

Not just the foam pin.

I never get my messages.

>> You get your messages?

>> Yeah. Well, I don't think it really

counts if you have to read them off the

back of your hand after you fall asleep

on the couch. So So you missed a message

from who? Chandler or your mom

or Chandler or your mom?

>> Great. It worked. No one's sad.

>> Hang out with you guys two nights in a

row. I'm so sorry.

>> Wh Why did she not want to hang out with

us?

>> Because she uh she she thinks that you

or blah

and and that uh you Monica are uh too

loud.

>> What?

>> What?

>> So she was just pretending to have a

good time last night. She was lying to

our faces.

>> I can't believe this. I mean, who is she

to judge us? We could not have been

nicer to her. And I am not blah. I am a

hoot.

>> No, come on. Please, please, you guys

don't don't be mad. I'm sure she just

she just said that stuff because she was

nervous cuz you guys are like my best

friends, you know, and it was our first

date. Plus, she's really sick.

>> No, you she No, you said you made that

up.

>> I know, but don't you think the sick

thing is way better than the play thing?

>> They're both good. I generally just go

with Monica's drunk again.

Come on, you guys. Come on. Please.

Please just give her another chance.

Huh? She'll come around. I promise.

>> Of course we will. Come on. We got to

make dinner.

>> Okay.

>> I do not like that woman.

>> I can hear you.

>> I am loud.

>> I'm so sorry. Please stop freaking out.

>> I'm not freaking out.

[Laughter]

Why would I be freaking out? A woman

named Hildy called and said we were

getting married, but that happens every

day.

>> Honey, we were at this beautiful place

and I I I just put our names down for

fun. I mean, what's the harm in that?

>> Right here, Mom.

>> Chandler, please don't think I was

trying to pressure you. Phoebe and

Rachel just thought

>> Phoebe and Rachel. So the people that

knew about our wedding before me were

you, Phoebe and Rachel, Hildy, and

apparently some band called the

Starlight Magic 7, who are available, by

the way.

>> It was a mistake. Please don't take this

to mean anything because it doesn't.

>> Okay.

>> Really?

>> Yes. It really doesn't mean anything

because you know that I'm just not

ready.

>> I know. I know.

>> Okay.

>> All right. I'm going to go tell Joey

that that you're back. He's really

worried about you.

>> Hey, did she buy it?

>> Totally.

>> So, did Hildy show you the place?

>> Yeah. It's beautiful.

>> Yeah.

I can't believe you're going to ask

Monica to marry you.

>> I know.

[Applause]

>> Hey,

>> dude. Some guy just called for you.

>> Who was it?

>> I don't know. How about thanks for

taking the message. Jeez.

>> Hey, listen. You know, when you move in,

Rachel's room's going to be empty. You

want to talk about what we want to do

with it?

>> Sure.

>> Okay. I was thinking we should have a

beautiful guest room, right? with um a

mahogany sleigh bed and bedside tables

with flowers on it all the time. And

then we can have like a roll top desk

with little comment cards so people can

tell us how much they love staying here.

>> Hey, whatever. You know, I really

haven't thought about it that much.

>> Well, I like that idea obviously,

but I was thinking maybe maybe it could

be a game room, you know? I mean, you

can buy old arcade games like uh like

Space Invaders and Asteroids for $200.

The real ones, the big big big ones.

No.

>> Okay. So, you mean no as in G Chandler?

What an interesting idea. Let's discuss

it before we reject it completely.

>> Oh, I'm sorry. Of course.

Yes. Interesting idea. Um, talk about

it, but no.

>> So, that's it.

>> I just don't think that, you know,

arcade games go in the beautiful guest

room. The beautiful guest room is going

to be filled with antiques,

>> which is why Asteroids is perfect. It's

the oldest game.

>> What do you have against the beautiful

guest room?

>> Nothing. I don't have anything against

the beautiful guest room, especially

since everybody that we know lives about

30 seconds away.

>> Are you mocking me?

>> No, I'm not mocking you or your

beautiful giggler.

>> Okay.

>> And your horoscope says, "On the 5th, a

special someone is going to give you a

gift."

>> Oh, well, thank you in advance. H.

>> Oh, but the 12th brings a lover's spat.

>> You're going to make a joke about my

special present.

>> Why would you do that?

>> Oh, wait. And on the 19th, a secret

crush announces itself.

[Music]

>> Okay.

Call me when you get there. Okay.

>> Okay.

>> Really going to miss you.

Oh, yeah. I have your key.

>> Here you go. Thanks. Yeah.

>> Oh god, this is silly. I'm going to see

you in a couple of hours.

Bye, house.

Bye babe.

>> Bye.

[Music]

She really left.

>> I know.

>> Thank you.

>> No problem, Roomie.

>> Can I ask you a question?

>> Sure.

>> What the hell is that dog doing here?

>> Oh my god.

[Applause]

Chandler.

And all my life,

I never thought I would be so lucky

is to fall in love with my best.

My best.

There's a reason why girls don't do

this.

>> Okay. Okay. Okay. I'll do it. I thought

we I can do this.

I thought that it mattered what I said

or where I said it.

Then I realized

the only thing that matters is that you

You make me happier than I ever thought

I could be.

And if you let me,

I will spend the rest of my life trying

to make you feel the same way.

Monica,

>> will you marry me?

>> Yes.

[Applause]

>> I knew you were likely to take a wife.

>> Can we come in yet? I'm dying out here.

>> Come in. Come in.

>> You're engaged.

>> This is the least jealous I've ever

been.

>> Oh, no. Wait. No. This is wrong. Ross

isn't here.

>> Oh, Hilly's done this three times. He

knows what it's about. Okay.

[Music]

• I don’t think six years counts as an era.

  ➔ Verb agreement after a reporting verb

  ➔ After "I don’t think", the clause "six years counts" uses the singular verb "counts" because the subject of that clause is "six years" (treated as a single period).
