[English]

PHOEBE HATES POTTERY BARN?

YEAH, SHE HATES ALL MASS-PRODUCED STUFF.

SHE THINKS HER FURNITURE SHOULD HAVE A HISTORY-- A STORY BEHIND IT.

THIS HAS A STORY BEHIND IT.

THEY HAD TO SHIP IT

ALL THE WAY FROM THE WHITE PLAINS STORE.

I'M TELLING YOU

IF YOU PUT THAT IN HER APARTMENT

YOU WILL NEVER HEAR THE END OF IT.

OKAY, FINE, I'LL JUST TELL HER

THAT IT'S AN ANTIQUE APOTHECARY TABLE.

SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO KNOW WHERE IT CAME FROM.

OH, I LOVE THESE LITTLE DRAWERS.

OH, LOOK, LOOK, IT SAYS THAT IT HOLDS 300 CDs.

AH, JUST LIKE THE APOTHECARY TABLES OF YORE.

OOH, WHAT A GREAT TABLE.

WHERE? WHERE DID YOU GET IT?

GUESS.

UM, A FLEA MARKET.

OH!

SEE, I KNEW. I KNEW YOU WOULD GET IT ON THE FIRST GUESS.

ISN'T IT COOL?

IT'S AN APOTHECARY TABLE.

WOW...

OH, YOU CAN JUST IMAGINE THAT THIS IS WHERE THEY KEPT ALL

THE STUFF TO MAKE THEIR POTIONS, YOU KNOW.

YES.

YOU CAN ALMOST SMELL THE OPIUM.

ALMOST.

OH, HOW MUCH WAS IT?

ONLY 500 BUCKS.

500 BUCKS AT A FLEA MARKET?

OH, OKAY, SEE, I THOUGHT YOU MEANT

HOW MUCH WAS IT WHEN IT WAS NEW

YOU KNOW, LIKE BACK THEN?

OH, NO.

I MEAN, IT WAS AT A FLEA MARKET

SO IT WAS, YOU KNOW, IT WAS, LIKE, A DOLLAR.

A DOLLAR?

AND 50.

SO, YOU KNOW, IT WAS, LIKE, ONE AND 50 DOLLARS.

OH, OKAY, THEY GAVE YOU THE OLD-TIME PRICING.

YEAH.

WELL, WHAT PERIOD IS IT FROM?

UH, IT'S FROM YORE.

LIKE THE DAYS OF YORE, YOU KNOW.

YES, YES, I DO.

GOD... OH, IT'S JUST PERFECT.

WOW, I BET IT HAS

A GREAT STORY BEHIND IT, TOO.

DID THEY TELL YOU ANYTHING?

LIKE, YOU KNOW, WHERE IT'S FROM OR...?

OH, YES, THAT I KNOW.

THIS IS FROM, UH, WHITE PLAINS.

( gasps)

WHITE PLAINS.

MM-HMM.

OH, IT SOUNDS LIKE SUCH A MAGICAL PLACE.

HEY! I'M HERE.

HEY.

OH... OH, MY GOD.

YOU LIKE IT?

OH, MY GOD.

IT'S MY NEW APOTHECARY TABLE.

ROSS, PHOEBE IS GOING TO BE HERE ANY SECOND.

SHE CANNOT SEE THIS.

WELL, WHY NOT? SHE'LL LOVE IT.

IT'S THE REAL THING.

I GOT IT AT POTTERY BARN.

I KNOW YOU DID. I BOUGHT THE SAME ONE.

AND IF SHE SEES YOUR TABLE, SHE'S GOING TO KNOW

THAT I LIED TO HER.

I TOLD HER THAT OURS WAS AN ORIGINAL.

WHY DID YOU DO THAT?

BECAUSE SHE HATES POTTERY BARN.

SHE HATES POTTERY BARN?

I KNOW, I KNOW.

SHE SAYS IT'S ALL MASS-PRODUCED; NOTHING IS AUTHENTIC

AND EVERYONE WINDS UP HAVING THE SAME STUFF.

SO, COME ON. SHE'S GOING TO BE HERE ANY SECOND.

CAN WE PLEASE JUST COVER THIS UP

WITH SOMETHING, PLEASE.

NO, NO. I AM NOT GOING TO HIDE IT FROM PHOEBE.

OH, ALTHOUGH I DID GET SOME GREAT POTTERY BARN SHEETS.

OOH!

OH, I FORGOT THEY MADE SHEETS.

YAH.

I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE SHE HATES POTTERY BARN.

YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK?

SHE'S WEIRD, YOU KNOW.

IT'S BECAUSE SHE'S A TWIN.

TWINS ARE WEIRD.

ROSS, SHE'S NOT WEIRD.

SHE JUST LIKES HER STUFF TO BE ONE OF A KIND.

YOU KNOW WHAT'S NOT ONE OF A KIND?

A TWIN.

HEY.

HEY.

OH, PHOEBE'S HERE.

SO LET'S TURN OUT ALL THE LIGHTS

AND WE'LL JUST WATCH THE MOVIE.

OKAY. HEY, OOH, COOL SHEET.

OH, YOU LIKE IT?

YOU WANT TO KNOW WHERE I GOT IT?

SURE.

HE GOT IT AT A FLEA MARKET.

YOU BOUGHT YOUR SHEETS AT A FLEA MARKET?

ROSS, YOU'VE GOT TO LOOSEN
