[English]

YEAH. FOR MY DESSERT

I HAVE CHOSEN TO MAKE A TRADITIONAL ENGLISH TRIFLE.

WOW, THAT SOUNDS GREAT.

AND WHAT ARE YOU MAKING, MONICA, YOU KNOW

IN CASE RACHEL'S DESSERT IS SO GOOD THAT I EAT ALL OF IT.

NOTHING.

NOTHING?

YEAH, SWEETIE, I TRUST YOU.

SO IF I MESS THIS UP, THERE'S NOTHING ELSE FOR DESSERT?

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO MESS IT UP.

WOW, MONICA, I LOVE THAT.

YOU REALLY HAVE FAITH IN ME. THANK YOU.

TECHNICAL QUESTION.

HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN THE BUTTER IS DONE?

WELL, IT'S DONE ABOUT TWO MINUTES BEFORE IT LOOKS THAT.

RACH, YOU'RE KILLING US HERE.

WILL YOU SERVE THE DESSERT ALREADY?

THERE'S DRUNKEN DANCERS AWAITING.

WELL, LOOK AT IT. ISN'T IT BEAUTIFUL?

YEAH, YEAH, WHAT IS IT?

IT'S A TRIFLE

AND IT'S GOT ALL OF THESE LAYERS.

FIRST, THERE'S A LAYER OF LADYFINGERS

THEN A LAYER OF JAM

THEN CUSTARD, WHICH I MADE FROM SCRATCH.

THEN RASPBERRIES

MORE LADYFINGERS

THEN BEEF SAUTEED WITH PEAS AND ONIONS

AND THEN A LITTLE BIT MORE CUSTARD, AND THEN BANANAS

AND THEN I JUST PUT SOME WHIPPED CREAM ON TOP.

WHAT WAS THE ONE RIGHT BEFORE BANANAS?

THE BEEF? YEAH, THAT WAS WEIRD TO ME, TOO, BUT, THEN, YOU KNOW

I THOUGHT, WELL, THERE'S MINCEMEAT PIE.

I MEAN, THAT'S AN ENGLISH DESSERT.

THESE PEOPLE JUST PUT

VERY STRANGE THINGS IN THEIR FOOD, YOU KNOW?

OH, BY THE WAY, CAN I BORROW SOME RUM FROM YOUR PLACE?

YEAH, SURE, YEAH.

AND WHILE I'M GONE, DON'T YOU BOYS SNEAK A TASTE.

RIGHT. OKAY.

BEEF IN A DESSERT?

THERE... NO, NO, NO. THERE IS NO WAY.

I KNOW, AND ONLY ONE LAYER OF JAM?

WHAT IS UP WITH THAT?

OH, MY GOD.

THE PAGES ARE STUCK TOGETHER.

CHANDLER!

OH, MY GOD.

SHE... SHE MADE HALF AN ENGLISH TRIFLE AND...

HALF A SHEPHERD'S PIE.

OH, MAN.

NOW SHE'S GOING TO START ALL OVER.

WE'RE NEVER GOING TO GET TO INTRODUCE

THE HOT GIRLS TO THE NEW WORLD.

NO, NO, WE WILL.

WE JUST WON'T TELL HER SHE MESSED UP.

JUST LET HER SERVE THE BEEF CUSTARD THING?

YEAH.

IT WILL BE LIKE A FUNNY THANKSGIVING STORY.

VOMITING STORIES ARE FUNNY, I GUESS.

Joey: RACHEL, THERE YOU ARE.

COME ON. LET'S SERVE THAT DESSERT ALREADY.

JOEY, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO STOP RUSHING ME.

YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU DON'T GET ANY DESSERT.

REALLY?

NO, I'M JUST KIDDING.

I WOULD NEVER DO THAT TO YOU.

OKAY, EVERYBODY, IT'S TRIFLE TIME.

SO, NOW, RACH...

THIS IS A TRADITIONAL ENGLISH TRIFLE, ISN'T IT?

IT SURE IS.

WOW. SO, THEN, DID YOU MAKE IT WITH BEEF OR EGGPLANT?

BEEF.

I CAN'T HAVE ANY, YOU KNOW?

I DON'T EAT BEEF.

( all groaning and sighing)

ALL RIGHT, MONICA

I WANT YOU TO HAVE THE FIRST TASTE.

REALLY?

WELL?

MMM...

IT'S GOOD.

REALLY? HOW GOOD?

IT'S SO GOOD THAT I FEEL REALLY SELFISH

BEING THE ONLY ONE WHO'S EATING IT.

AND I THINK WE SHOULD HAVE EVERYONE TASTE HOW GOOD IT IS.

ESPECIALLY ROSS.

MM-HMM.

All: MMM...

YEAH, THIS IS SO GOOD

THAT I'M GOING TO GO ENJOY IT ON THE BALCONY.

SO I CAN ENJOY THE VIEW WHILST I ENJOY MY DESSERT.

AND I'M GOING TO CALL MY FRIEND, MARY

AND TELL HER HOW GOOD THIS IS FROM MONICA'S ROOM.

I'LL HELP YOU DIAL.

AND I'M GOING TO GO INTO THE BATHROOM

SO I CAN LOOK AT IT IN THE MIRROR AS I EAT IT.

OKAY, NOW, WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?

IS IT... DOES IT NOT TASTE GOOD?

LET ME TRY THAT.

NO! NO!

ALL GONE.

SO GOOD.

MAYBE CHANDLER HAS SOME LEFT.

IT TASTES LIKE FEET.

I LIKE IT.

ARE YOU KIDDING?

WHAT'S NOT TO LIKE?

CUSTARD? GOOD.

JAM? GOOD.

MEAT? GOOD!
