[English]

Hey Kiki,

[laughter]

>> what are you doing? Just trying to get

comfortable. Can't sleep in my

underwear.

>> Well, you're going to

[laughter]

I've been thinking, you know, about how

I'm always seeing girls on top of girls.

Are they end to end or tall like

pancakes? [laughter]

You know what I mean about how I'm

always going out with all these women?

Cuz I always figured when the right one

comes along, I'll be able to be a

standup guy and go the distance. You

know, I'm looking at my dad thinking,

"Hey, you're not him. You're you."

When they were all over you to go into

your father's pipe fitting business, did

you cave?

>> No.

>> No. You decided to go into the out of

work actor business. [laughter]

Now, that wasn't easy, but you did it.

And I'd like to believe that when the

right woman comes along, you will have

the courage and the guts to say, "No

thanks. I'm married. [laughter]

You

>> really think so?"

>> Yeah, I really do.

>> Thanks, Chandler.

>> Get off.

>> Hey, baby. Can I talk to you for a

second?

>> Sure. Okay. Um, I [laughter]

Phoebe, look, I just wanted to say that

I'm sorry, okay? I handled the situation

horribly and and I should not have lied

to you.

>> So, what should you have done?

>> Well, I I should have told you the

truth.

>> Uhhuh. which is

well, you know, the reason that I didn't

want to go running with you is because

um well, you know, the way that you run

is just a little

[laughter]

>> So, well, it's embarrassing. People were

looking at us like we were crazy.

>> Why do you care? Because they're people.

But people that you don't know and will

never see again.

>> Yes, but still they are people with

eyes.

>> [laughter]

>> Well, I didn't get embarrassed running

next to Miss.

[laughter]

>> But Oh, okay. No, no, I can see why

running with me would be embarrassing to

you. Yeah. Okay. You're uptight.

>> What? I am not up.

Listen, I am not uptight, man.

[laughter]

>> That's okay, Rachel. I'm not judging

you. That's just who you are. me, I'm

more freak, you know. I run like I did

when I was a kid because it's the only

way it's fun, you know? I mean, didn't

you ever run so fast you thought your

legs were going to fall off? You know,

like when you were like running toward

the swings or or running away from

Satan,

[laughter]

the neighbor's dog.

>> [laughter]

[screaming]

>> I'm so sorry. You're right. This feels

great.

>> See, and you don't care if people ARE

STARING. IT'S JUST FOR A SECOND CUZ THEN

YOU'RE GONE.

>> GOD, IT'S AMAZING. I feel so free and SO

GRACEFUL. [laughter]

HEY, look out for the horse.

>> You are falling fast asleep.

Deeper, deeper, deeper. You are now

completely asleep. You don't need to

smoke. Cigarettes don't control you. You

are a strong, confident woman who does

not need to smoke. A strong, confident

woman.

>> [laughter]

[cheering]

[laughter]

[music]

>> Hey, listen to me. It's like all of my

life, everyone has always told me,

"You're a shoe. You're a shoe. You're a

shoe. You're a shoe." And then today, I

just stopped and I said, "What if I

don't want to be a shoe? What if I want

to be a a purse?" You know, or or or a

hat. [laughter]

No, I don't want you to buy me a hat.

I'm saying that I am a hat. It's a

metaphor. Daddy, [laughter]

>> you can see where he'd have trouble.

[laughter]

>> Look, Daddy, it's my life.

Well, well, maybe I'll just stay here

with Monica.

[laughter]

>> Well, I guess we've established you

staying here with Monica.

[laughter]

>> Well, maybe that's my decision.

Well, maybe I don't need your money.

Wait, wait. I said maybe.

>> Guess what?

>> You got a job.

>> Are you kidding? I'm trained for

nothing.

>> I was laughed at 12 interviews today.

>> And yet you're surprisingly upbeat.

>> Well, you would be too if you found Joan

and David boots on sale, 50% off.

>> Oh, how well you know me.

>> They're my new I don't need a job. I

don't need my parents. I've got great

boots. Boots.

How'd you pay for them?

>> Uh, credit card. Mhm.

>> And who pays for that?

>> Um, my father.

[laughter]

>> Come on. You can't live off your parents

your whole life.

>> I know that. That's why I was getting

married.

Give her a break. It's hard being on

your own for the first time.

>> Thank you. You're welcome. I remember

when I first came to this city. I was

14. My mom had just killed herself and

my stepdad was back in prison. And I got

here and I didn't know anybody. And I

ended up living with this albino guy who

was like cleaning windshields outside

Port Authority. And then he killed

himself.

And then I found aroma therapy. So

believe me, I know exactly how you feel.

>> The word you're looking for is

anyway.

[laughter]

All right. You ready?

>> I don't think so. Oh, come on. Cut, cut,

cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut,

cut, cut, cut, cut, cut.

>> Hey,

[cheering]

[applause]

welcome to the real world. It sucks.

You're going to love it.

>> Hi.

>> Hey.

>> Listen, I wanted to ask you something

about marriage.

>> Oh, great. Now you're seeking me out to

make jokes. I mean, I can see if we're

all hanging out, but to come to my home.

[laughter]

>> No, I really want to know how you feel

about it.

>> Why? Mike doesn't ever want to get

married.

>> Never.

>> Never.

>> Wow. Well, you're still going to move in

with him?

>> Well, I want to, but I just wanted you

to tell me that marriage really isn't

that big a deal. You know, that I won't

I won't be missing out on anything. That

marriage stinks.

>> Yeah, marriage stinks.

I mean, if you want to see a man gain

weight and a woman stop shaving, get him

married. [laughter]

That's not how you really feel, is it?

>> No, I'm sorry.

>> Look, I I know it's not what you want to

hear right now, but I can't help it. I I

love marriage.

>> Seriously, you divorceo. [laughter]

>> If you have to call me a name, I prefer

Ross the divorcer. It's just cooler.

Look, look. I know my marriages didn't

exactly work out, but you know, I I

loved being that committed to another

person. And Carol and I had some good

times before she became a lesbian and

once afterward.

Anyway, I'm I'm sorry.

>> It's okay. That's how you feel.

>> But come on. I mean, living together

will be great. I mean, you guys have so

much fun. And you love Mike.

>> I do love Mike. Ah, see, and you were so

excited about moving in together before.

And you know what? You should be. It's a

big deal.

>> Yeah, I guess you're right.

Yeah, thanks. This helped. Thanks.

>> The divorcer to the rescue. [laughter]

>> It's not cooler.

>> Yeah, I just heard it. Come on, you

guys. My own TV show. I just I don't

know if I'm good enough.

>> I am.

>> Joey, what are you talking about? You're

a terrific actor.

You really think so?

>> How can you even ask that question?

>> Whoa, she's pretty. Yeah. Oh, and she's

really nice, too. She taught me all

about, you know, how to work with the

cameras and smell the fart acting.

>> I'm sorry.

>> It's like you got so many lines to learn

so fast that sometimes you need a minute

to remember your next one. So, while

you're thinking of it, you take this big

pause where you look all intense, you

know, like this.

>> Okay.

>> Oh, here's my scene. Here's my scene.

>> Mrs. Wallace, I'm Dr. Drake Ramore, your

sister's neurosurgeon. Your sister is

suffering from a

>> I play Al Puccini's butt.

>> Oh my god.

and Al Puccini's in it and that's big.

>> Oh, no. It's terrific. It's It's You

know, you deserve this. After all your

years of struggling, you've finally been

able to crack your way into [laughter]

>> Okay. Okay, fine. Make jokes. I don't

care. This is a big break for me.

>> No, you're right. You're right. It is.

Yeah.

>> So, you're going to invite us all to the

big opening? [laughter]

>> All right. Well, I'm out of here. Wish

me luck.

>> Good luck. [singing] Good luck. We all

wish you good luck.

>> Yeah, whatever.

>> Joshua was not going to be there.

>> What happened?

>> Um, well, I think I think he broke up

with me.

>> No. Why?

>> Well, apparently he scares easy.

>> [laughter]

>> I'm sorry.

>> It's okay.

>> Sometimes

things don't work out the way you

thought they would.

>> Come here.

>> Oh, hey. Don't you have to go pick up

Emily?

>> Yeah.

>> Yeah.

>> Are you okay?

>> Yeah. I got my girls.

>> Hey, you know what might cheer you up?

>> What?

You know, I got to tell you, this really

does put me in a better mood.

[laughter]

>> I wish there was a job where I could

wear this all the time. [laughter]

>> Maybe someday there will be.

>> I'll tell you one thing. I wouldn't mind

having a piece of this sundried tomato

business. Five years ago, if somebody

had said to me, "Here's a tomato that

looks like a prune," I'd have said, "Get

out of my office. [laughter]

Dad, before I was born, did you freak

out at all?

>> I'm not freaking out. I'm just saying if

someone had come to me with the idea of

this.

>> Dad, Dad, Dad, I'm talking about the

whole uh baby thing. Did you uh ever get

this sort of panicky, oh my god, I'm

going to be a father kind of a thing?

>> No. [laughter]

Your mother really did the work. I was

busy with the business. I wasn't around

that much. Is that what this is about?

>> No, no, Dad. I was just wondering.

>> Cuz it's time to make up for that. We

can do stuff together. You always wanted

to go to that colonial Williamsburg. How

about we do that?

>> Thanks, Dad. Really? I just, you know, I

just I just [laughter]

I just needed to know. Um,

when did you start to feel like a

father?

Oh, well, I I guess it must have been

the day after you were born. We were in

the hospital room. Your mother was

asleep, and they brought you in and gave

you to me. You were this ugly little red

thing. [laughter]

And all of a sudden, you grabbed my

finger with your whole fist and you

squeezed it so tight.

And that's when I knew

So, you don't want to go to

Williamsburg? [laughter]

>> Well, we can go to Williamsburg.

>> Eat your fish.

>> I am sorry about what I said.

>> Nope. Nope. You're right. It is a

ridiculous name. [laughter]

>> It's not that bad.

>> Yes, it is.

From now on, I have no first name.

[laughter]

So you're just Bing.

I have no name.

>> All right. So what are we supposed to

call you?

>> Okay. Uh for now, temporarily, you can

call me

Clint.

[laughter]

>> No way. Are you cool enough to pull off

Clint?

>> Okay. So what name am I cool enough to

pull off?

>> Um Jean.

[laughter]

>> It's Clint. It's clicked.

>> See you later, Jean.

>> Bye, Jean.

>> It's clicked. Clicked.

>> What's up with Jean?

>> Drum roll.

>> Okay. Okay. All right.

Help.

>> Am I a Mark or a John? [laughter]

You're not tall enough to be a Mark,

>> but you might make a good Barney.

>> All right, look. I am serious, okay?

Tomorrow at 3:30, I'm going down to the

courthouse.

>> You're actually going through with this.

>> Hey, look. This name has been holding me

back my entire life, okay? It's probably

why kids picked on me in school and why

I never do well with women. So, as of

4:00 tomorrow, I'm either going to be

Mark Johnson or John Marson.

[laughter]

>> You've got problems because of you, NOT

YOUR NAME.

>> [laughter]

>> THIS HAS GOT TO STOP. Chandler is a

great name. In fact,

>> yes,

me to name the baby Joey, but So, I'm

[laughter]

>> IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY.

HEY, [laughter]

she's not as pretty as she was when she

was 29. [laughter]

>> Miss Green would like to establish some

ground rules before she comes out. She

would appreciate it if you didn't use

the words old or downhill or they still

look pretty damn good. [laughter]

>> They do.

[laughter]

>> Rachel, come on out. Monica made

breakfast. Chocolate chip pancakes.

>> We've got presents.

[laughter]

>> Good ones.

>> They all came from the list you handed

out to us two weeks ago. [laughter]

>> Well, can I keep the presents and still

be 29?

>> Come on, Ra. Look, turning 30 is not

that big a deal.

>> Oh, really? Is that how you felt when

you turned 30?

>> WHY, GOD? WHY?

>> YOU WANT TO get this tattoo?

>> Yes, I do. It's just that Ross is

>> Okay. Hey. Hey. Is your boyfriend the

boss of you?

march your heiny in there and get that

heart tattooed on your hip. Go.

[laughter]

>> Oh, it looks so good. Oh, I love it. I

know. So do I. Oh, Phoebe. I'm so glad

you made me do this. Okay, let me see

yours.

[laughter]

Okay, let's see yours again.

Baby, we just saw mine. Let me see

yours. Oh, okay.

Oh, no. Oh, it's gone. That's so weird.

I don't know how where it went.

[laughter]

>> You didn't get it?

>> No.

>> Why didn't you get it? I'm sorry. I'm

sorry,

>> baby. How could you do this to me? This

was all your idea.

>> I know. I know. And I was going to get

it, but then he came in with this

needle. And like, did you know they do

this with needles?

>> Really? You don't say. Because mine was

licked on by kittens.

>> It'll be great. You just make her think

you want to have sex with her. It'll

totally figure out.

>> Okay, listen. How far am I going to have

to go with her?

>> Relax. She's going to give in way before

you do.

>> How do you know? Because you're on my

team and my team always wins

>> at this. [laughter]

Just go get some. Go.

>> Okay, honey. No, I'm going to try to

listen from right here.

>> Okay.

>> Okay. Oh, wait.

>> Good idea.

>> Yeah. Oh, wait. Don't give away the

farm. Okay, [laughter]

>> Phoebe.

Chandler,

>> come on in. [laughter]

>> I was going to.

>> Um, I brought some wine. Would you like

some?

>> Sure.

[laughter]

>> So, here we are.

>> Nervous?

>> Me? No. You?

>> No. I want this to happen. [laughter]

So do I.

>> Just a two week thing anyway. I just

didn't want it to end this way, you

know.

>> Or maybe you didn't want it to end.

>> What do you mean?

>> You seem to really like her.

>> Yeah, I really do.

>> Yeah, but what am I going to do? I mean,

we we both agreed it was going to be a

two week thing, you know, no commitment.

>> Ross,

that girl just spent the entire evening

talking to your friends,

asking to hear stories about you,

looking through Monica's photo albums.

I mean, you don't do that if you're just

in it for two weeks.

>> You think?

>> Yeah.

You've got like 14 hours until she has

to be at the airport and you're sitting

here in a hallway with a 28-year-old

cheerleader with a fat lip.

[laughter]

>> Yeah, you're right.

>> Yeah.

>> Thanks.

>> It's just that now that they're in me,

it's like

It's like I know them, you know, and and

it's just not it's not going to be easy

when you know these little babies have

to go away.

>> I know, sweetie.

But it's not like you're not going to

have anything. I mean, you're going to

have nieces and nephews. In some ways,

that's even better.

>> Yeah. Okay.

>> No, really. Really, Feb. I mean, you're

not going to be the one worrying about

saving for college or yelling at them

when they're bad, you know, or deciding

to put them on rolin when they just

won't calm down,

you know? I mean, you're going to be the

one that they come to when they want to

run away from home and the one they talk

to about sex. You just get to be cool

Aunt Phoebe.

>> Cool Aunt Phoebe. [laughter]

>> I am pretty cool.

>> Oh,

>> yeah. And you know what else? Oh my god.

Are they going to love you?

>> They are going to love me.

>> Thanks you guys

>> again.

Sweetie,

>> thanks.

>> Oh, what? Oh god. Just kidding.

>> What? Oh my god. Oh, got you again.

You're so easy.

>> When you have a second later, I want to

show you why we don't just trap spiders

under coffee mugs and leave them there.

>> [laughter]

>> I'm training to be better at a job that

I hate. My life officially sucks.

>> But Ra, wasn't it supposed to be a

temporary thing? I thought you wanted to

do fashion stuff.

>> Well, yeah. I'm still pursuing that.

>> How exactly are you pursuing that? You

know, other than sending out resumes

like uh what, two years ago?

Oh, well, I'm also sending out

good thoughts.

[laughter]

>> If you ask me, as long as you got this

job, you got nothing pushing you to get

another one. You need the fear.

>> The fear?

>> He's right. If you quit this job, you

then have motivation to go after a job

you really want.

>> Well, then how come you're still at a

job that you hate? I mean, why don't you

quit and get the fear? [laughter]

because I'm too afraid.

>> I don't know. I mean, I would give

anything to work for a designer, you

know, or a buyer.

>> I just don't want to be 30 and still

work here.

>> Yeah, that'd be much worse than being 28

and still working here.

>> Rachel.

>> Yeah.

>> Remind me to review with you which pot

is decaf and which is regular.

[laughter]

>> Can't I just look at the handles on

them? You would think.

>> Okay, [laughter] fine. Gunther, you know

what? I am a terrible waitress. Do you

know why I am a terrible waitress?

Because I don't care. I don't care. I

don't care which pot is regular and

which pot is decaf. I don't care where

the tray spot is. I just don't care.

This is not what I want to do.

So, I don't think I should do it

anymore.

>> I'm going to give you my week's notice.

>> What?

>> Gunther. I quit.

I had a dream last night where I was

playing football with my kid.

>> Oh, it's nice.

>> That's nice.

>> No, no, with him.

I'm on this field and they they hike me

the baby.

And I I know I've got to do something

cuz the Tampa Bay defense is coming

right at me.

>> Tampa Bay has got a terrible team,

>> right? But

[laughter]

it is just me and the baby. So I'm

thinking they can take us.

And so I uh I just hate it downfield.

>> What do you think? That's a baby.

>> He should take the sack. [laughter]

>> Anyway, suddenly I'm downfield and I

realize that I'm the one who's supposed

to catch him, right? only I know there

is no way I'm going to get there in

time, right? So, I am running and I'm

running and that that is when I woke up.

See, I I am so not ready to be a father.

>> Hey, you're going to be fine.

>> You're one of the most caring, most

responsible men in North America.

[laughter]

You're going to make a great dad.

>> Yeah, Ross. You and the baby just need

better blocking.

>> Hey, how'd the interview go?

>> Not good. You know, I always feel that

way after an interview. I'll bet it went

better than you think.

>> Well, I didn't get the job at Gucci and

I got fired from Ralph Lauren.

>> That is a bad interview. [laughter]

>> What are you What are you talking about?

How'd this happen?

>> Well, my boss was at the same restaurant

where I was having my interview and he

heard everything. So, later he calls me

into his office and he tells me that

he's going to have to let me go because

I'm not a team player. And I say, "Wait

a minute. No, yes I am." And then I had

to sit there for 45 minutes while he

proved that that in fact was true.

[laughter]

>> Oh god, I'm so sorry.

>> Hey, what

what's this?

It's a It's a bottle of champagne. Why

is this here,

>> Ross?

>> I guess it's here because I got tenure.

>> Congratulations.

>> Congratulations. This is the single

greatest day of my professional career.

Gunther, six classes.

>> Six? You want me to join?

>> Oh, I thought Joey was here. Five is

good. [laughter]

I'm going to have a lugie in my coffee

tomorrow. [laughter]

>> Ooh, Israeli champagne.

And it's vanilla. [laughter]

>> I got tenure. I didn't win the lottery.

>> Hey, Rich. So, uh, how did your thing

go? Oh, it's good. Yeah, but I'm not

going to hear about that for a couple of

days.

>> Oh, you know what? You're going to get

it. I I I I can feel it.

>> Can you?
