[English]

- Hey, Phoebs? - Oh, hi!

Hey! So are you enjoying the bike?

Oh, uh-huh, so much!

Phoebs, you, uh..

...you do know how to ride a bike, don't you?

[chuckling]

Of course!

Um, can we see you ride it?

Okay.

[chuckling]

See?

[instrumental music]

See, this is why I told you

never get involved with your assistant!

And here is no such thing as keeping secrets

when it comes to affairs.

Did you hear that Chandler?

No such thing!

What happened? I'm just eating candy.

Maybe it's not as bad as I think.

You know, maybe they didn't take it the way I meant it.

Absolutely! You know, because tushie can mean

both ass and good worker.

Ugh, I just gotta get the thing back!

- Hey, Rach? - Yeah.

That sketch you mentioned?

Might it have looked a little something like this?

Oh, my God! Joey!

- What is the matter with you? - Ah!

Boy, I tell ya, this little talent came in handy

before I could afford porn.

[knocking on door]

Hi! I'm sorry, I know it's after hours, but I really need candy.

[sighing] I'm sorry, I can't help you. See? Rules are rules.

Please! Uh, I have people coming from out of town today

and I told them all about your candy!

No kidding. Out of towners, huh?

[chuckling] What did you tell 'em?

I told 'em your candy was absolutely indescribable!

Oh, well, some people have been saying

its, you know, "Little drops of heaven"

but whatever.

Please, can't you help me out?

Hey, Chandler, do we know that lady?

Maybe, isn't she the woman who lives below you

and has sex really loud?

Alright, I'll do it just this once!

But you can't tell anybody!

Yes! Yes! Please, just give it to me!

- Yeah, that's her. - Yeah, that's her.

- Thank you. - It's unbelievable!

I-I can't believe that sign didn't work!

- You know, what would work? - Hmm?

Stop making candy!

[scoffing] But they like it!

You mean they like you.

Maybe.

Is that why you became a chef?

So that people would like you?

Oh, you really wanna talk about

getting people to like you, huh, funny man?

[laughing]

[instrumental music]

Okay, now just remember everything I taught you

and you'll be fine. Okay?

Here we go. Ready...set--

Wait! This seat is really uncomfortable!

Yeah, maybe before we start we should just get another one.

Perhaps, like an airplane seat, or a beanbag chair!

Phoebe, you can't get out of this! Okay?

You have to learn how to ride a bike!

Why? Why do I have to learn?

Well, in-in case of an emergency.

- What kind of an emergency? - Well, let..

What if a, a man comes along

and puts a gun to your head and says

"You ride this bike or I'll sh.. I'll shoot you."

Okay, I would ring the bell to distract him

and then I would knock the gun out of his hand

with a Chinese throwing star.

Okay, Phoebe..

...just-just get-get on the bike, and..

Hey! I'll hold you up, and-and push you. Okay?

- You won't let go? - No!

- You swear? - I swear!

- Okay. - Come on.

- Alright. Here we go. - Yeah.

- Alright. - Alright.

- Alright. Feel good? - Well.

- Alright, try pedaling. - Okay.

- That's it, your doing great. - Okay.

You're doing great! Yes, yes, yes!

- Take control! Yes! - Whee!

- Yes! Yes! - Hey!

[Ross clapping]

Oh! Oh! Oh, no!

You swore!

I-I just thought you were doing so well. I--

I am shocked! Shocked!

It's a legitimate learning technique.

Wow!

Key Grammar Structures

• Phoebs, you, uh.. ...you do know how to ride a bike, don't you?

  ➔ Tag Question

  ➔ The phrase 'don't you?' is a tag question, used to seek confirmation. It inverts the auxiliary verb ('do') and pronoun ('you') and is added to the end of a statement. It expects the answer 'yes'. The use of 'uh...' indicates hesitation.

• Absolutely! You know, because tushie can mean both ass and good worker.

  ➔ Modal Verb + Explanation with 'because'

  ➔ 'Absolutely!' is a modal verb expressing strong agreement. The sentence then provides an explanation for a misunderstanding using 'because', clarifying the double meaning of the slang term 'tushie'.

• Maybe it's not as bad as I think.

  ➔ Subjunctive Mood (expressing uncertainty)

  ➔ The use of 'Maybe' introduces a degree of uncertainty. 'as bad as I think' uses a comparative structure to express a hope that the situation isn't as negative as initially perceived. The 'it' is a dummy pronoun.

• What did you tell 'em?

  ➔ Past Simple + Contraction + Informal Pronoun

  ➔ 'What did you tell 'em?' uses the past simple tense to inquire about a past action. 'em' is a contraction of 'them' and is an informal pronoun commonly used in spoken English. The question structure is a direct inquiry.
