Lyrics & Translation

[English]

(Rachel) 'Okay, come on, somebody, somebody.'

(Monica) 'Alright, I'll go, I'll go.

Okay, um, senior year of college on a pool table.

- Ooh-hoo-hoo! - Pool table!

That's my sister.

Okay, okay.

My weirdest place would have to be..

...the women's room on the second floor

of the New York City public library.

Oh, my God.

What were you doing in a library?

Hey, Pheebs, what about you?

Oh, um, Milwaukee.

Uh, Ross?

[clears throat] Disneyland, 1989..

"It's a small world after all."

No way.

Yeah, the, uh, the ride broke down

so Carol and I went behind a couple of those

mechanical Dutch children.

Then they fixed the ride

and we were asked never to return to the Magic Kingdom.

Ooh, Rachel?

Oh, come on, I already went.

- 'No.' - You did not go!

- Yes, I did. - 'Come on tell us!'

- Come on. - Come on.

Alright, uh..

...the weirdest place would have to be..

...the foot of the bed.

- Step back. - We have a winner!

I've just never... had a relationship

with that kind of passion y'know?

Where-where you have to have somebody

right there, in the middle of a themepark.

Well, it was the only thing to do there

that didn't have a line.

Alright, well, see, I mean... Barry wouldn't even kiss me

on a miniature-golf course.

- Come on. - No.

He said we were "holding up the people behind us."

And you didn't marry him, because?

I mean, do you think..

...there are people that go through life

never having that kind of ...?

- Probably. - Really?

Well, you know, I'll tell you something.

Passion is way overrated.

- Yeah, right. - It is.

Uh, eventually, it kind of burns out.

But hopefully, what you're left with is trust..

and security and, uh..

...well, in the case of my ex-wife, lesbianism.

So, you know, for all those people who miss out

on that, uh, passion thing.

...there's all that other good stuff.

[sighs] Okay.

But, um, but I don't think that's gonna be you.

- You don't? - Mm.

See, I see, uh..

...big passion in your future.

- Really? - Hmm.

- You do? - I do.

Oh, Ross, you're so great.

It's never gonna happen.

- What? - You and Rachel.

[chuckles]

[mumbling]

Why not?

Because you waited too long to make your move.

and now you're in the "friend zone".

No, no, no. I'm not in the zone.

No, Ross. You're mayor of the zone!

Look, I'm taking my time, alright?

I'm-I'm-I'm laying the groundwork.

Yeah, I mean, every day

just a little bit closer to, uh--

Priesthood!

Ross, I'm telling you, she no idea, what you're thinking

And if you don't ask her out soon..

...you're gonna end up stuck in the zone forever.

I will, I will. I'm jus.

See, I'm waiting for the, uh, the right moment.

[sighs]

What?

- What, now? - Yeah.

What's messing you up? The wine?

The candles? The moonlight? Huh?

You just gotta go up tor and you gotta say

- "Look, Rachel, I think- " - Shh-shh.

- Shh-shh. - What are we shushing?

We're shushing...because trying to-to hear something.

- What? What? - Uh, don't you hear that?

Ah.

- See? - Huh.

Key Grammar Structures

• Okay, come on, somebody, somebody.

  ➔ Imperative sentence

  ➔ The speaker uses the verb "come" in the base form to give a direct command: "**come on**".

• I already went.

  ➔ Simple past tense

  ➔ The verb "went" is the past form of "go", used to describe a completed action: "**went**".

• What were you doing in a library?

  ➔ Past continuous question

  ➔ The auxiliary "were" + verb‑ing forms the past continuous: "**were ... doing**".

• If you don't ask her out soon, you're going to end up stuck in the zone forever.

  ➔ First conditional (real future possibility)

  ➔ The present simple in the if‑clause ("**don't ask**") + will/going to in the main clause expresses a likely future result.

• He said we were "holding up the people behind us."

  ➔ Reported speech (past reporting verb + past progressive)

  ➔ "He said" is a past reporting verb; the quoted clause retains the past progressive "**were holding up**" to show ongoing action at that time.

• We were asked never to return to the Magic Kingdom.

  ➔ Passive voice with infinitive

  ➔ "Were asked" is passive; the infinitive "**to return**" expresses the action that the subject is expected not to do.

• ...the weirdest place **would have to be**...

  ➔ Modal verb "would have to" (future in the past / speculation)

  ➔ "Would have to" combines the conditional "would" with the necessity modal "have to" to indicate an imagined requirement: "**would have to be**".

• I'm waiting for the… right moment.

  ➔ Present continuous for future intention

  ➔ "I'm waiting" uses the present continuous ("am + -ing") to show a planned future action rather than a current activity.

• Passion is **way** overrated.

  ➔ Intensifier "way" before an adjective

  ➔ "Way" functions as an informal intensifier meaning "much"; it modifies the adjective "overrated": "**way** overrated".
