Why do you have a copy of The Shining in
00:01
your freezer? Oh, I was reading it last
00:03
night and I got scared. So,
00:06
but uh you're safe from it if it's in
00:10
safer, you know. I mean, I never start
00:14
reading The Shining without making sure
00:16
we got plenty of room in the freezer,
00:18
How often do you read it? Haven't you
00:21
ever read the same book over and over
00:24
Well, um I guess I read Little Women
00:26
more than once, but I mean that's a
00:28
classic. What's so great about The
00:30
Shining? The question should be, Ra,
00:31
what is not so great about The
00:33
Shining. Okay. And the answer would be
00:35
nothing. All right. This is like the
00:39
scariest book ever. I bet it's way
00:41
better than that classic of yours.
00:43
Okay. Uh well, we'll just see about
00:47
that. Okay. I will read The Shining and
00:49
you will read Little Women. All right.
00:53
You got it. All right. Okay. Okay. And
00:56
now Ra these uh these little women.
00:58
How little are they? I mean, are they
01:03
Beth is really really sick. Oh.
01:16
Joe's there, but I don't think there's
01:23
anything she could do.
01:25
Joey. Yeah. You want to put the book in
01:30
Okay. Okay. You have to read this book.
01:35
It's called Be Your Own Wind Keeper.
01:39
It's about how women need to become more
01:42
empowered. Yeah. And Oh, and but there's
01:43
And the wind can make us goddesses. But
01:48
do you know who takes our wind? Men.
01:52
it. The men just take our wind. Yeah.
01:55
All the time. Cuz they are the lightning
01:59
Well, that sounds kind of cool. It's
02:06
kind of like The Hobbit. It is nothing
02:08
Hobbit. It's like reading about every
02:11
relationship I've ever had, except for
02:14
Richard. Oh, yes. No. Richard would
02:16
never steal your wind. No. No. Cuz he's
02:18
But all the other ones. Oh, yes. Oh, and
02:23
the part about how they're always like
02:26
drinking from our pool of inner power.
02:28
But god forbid we should take a sip.
02:30
Anybody want a crower? Okay. This is a
02:32
typical lightning bearer thing right
02:35
there. It's like, um, hello. Who wants
02:37
one of my phallic shaped man cakes? I
02:40
will be doing a dramatic reading of one
02:44
of Emma's books. Oh, okay. Which one?
02:46
Uh, well, it's uh one of her
02:51
favorites. Riding the storm out, coping
02:54
depression. Love you forever.
03:03
Love you Forever by Robert Munch,
03:08
published by Firefly Books, printed in
03:11
Mexico. A mother held her new baby and
03:20
very slowly rocked him back and forth,
03:23
back and forth, back and forth. And
03:27
while she held him, she sang, "I'll love
03:30
I'll like you for always. As long as I'm
03:36
living, my baby you'll
03:39
be. And while he rocked her, he sang,
03:42
"I'll love you forever. I'll like you
03:45
for always. As long as I'm living, my
03:49
that was amazing. Thank you so much for
04:01
I was not ready for this today.
04:06
You guys have any wrapping paper? Oh, is
04:09
it for my birthday present? Feebs. It
04:12
was your birthday like months ago. Yeah,
04:15
but remember you said you ordered
04:17
something special. It just hadn't come
04:18
Well, I have a call in about that.
04:24
Actually, this is for uh Kathy's
04:28
birthday. It's an early edition of her
04:29
favorite book. Oh, the Velvetine Rabbit.
04:31
Oh my god. When the boy's love makes the
04:34
rabbit real. Okay, but don't touch it
04:36
because your fingers have destructive
04:38
Well, then you better keep it away from
04:42
So, this is pretty rare. How did you get
04:47
that? Oh, it wasn't a big deal. I just
04:49
went to a couple of bookstores, talked
04:50
to a couple of dealers, called a couple
04:52
of the author's grandchildren.
04:54
That's so sweet. Yeah. And what a great
04:58
way to say I secretly love you,
05:00
roommates's girlfriend.
05:01
It doesn't say that,
05:05
does it? How do you think it's going to
05:07
look when you get her something
05:09
incredibly meaningful and expensive and
05:11
her boyfriend Joey gives her an orange?
05:13
Why are we here? Okay. Okay. Take a
05:16
Okay. Okay. I was uh typing names into
05:23
the library computer earlier, you know,
05:26
you know, for fun. And I typed mine in
05:28
and uh guess what came up? my doctoral
05:31
dissertation. It's here. Yeah, right.
05:33
It's right down here in the biggest
05:36
library in the university. Ah, that's
05:37
actually pretty cool. Yeah. Oh. Um,
05:39
there's also a book here by a woman
05:42
named Wendy Vagina.
05:44
Sounds like two people are really
05:52
enjoying the Dewey decimal system.
05:53
You didn't bring me here to do that, did
06:03
Excuse me. Hi, I'm a professor here. Do
06:07
you know the paleontology section, fifth
06:11
floor, stack 437? Well, yes. Just give
06:13
me 5 minutes. I just have to find
06:18
someone to cover my shift.
06:20
no. Can I speak to someone in charge,
06:26
How can I help you? Hi, I was wondering
06:33
is it possible to increase security in
06:36
the paleontology section? See, I I wrote
06:38
a book that's up there and instead of
06:41
reading it, people are are well, they're
06:43
rolling around in front of
06:45
it. We are aware of the problem you're
06:48
But as far as increasing security, I'm
06:57
afraid the library is very understaffed.
06:59
I I can't help you.
07:01
Well, fine. Fine. If if I'm the only
07:04
person with any appreciation of the
07:07
sanctity of the written word, then I'll
07:09
go up there and defend it
07:11
myself. And don't you follow me.
07:12
Yes. Yes. How can I help you? Yeah, we
07:21
we were just looking around. Oh. Oh,
07:24
you're your fellow scholars. What
07:26
exactly were you looking for? Hm.
07:28
Perhaps uh perhaps Dr. Chester Stocks
07:31
musings on the Smileadin Californicus.
07:34
here. I'm meeting someone. Or or are you
07:50
just here to brush up on Mariam's views
07:54
Um, actually, I find Mariam's views far
07:59
too progressionist.
08:02
I find Miriam's views far too
08:08
I'm sorry. Who are you? I'm a professor
08:12
here. Uh, Ross Geller. Ross Geller? Why
08:16
do I know that name? It's a
08:19
Wait, did you write this?
08:26
Yes. You're the person who checked out
08:33
You know, you look nothing like I would
08:39
have thought. You're you're so young.
08:42
Well, I uh I skipped fourth grade.
08:47
Sure. Have a lot of books about being a
09:05
Well, you know, you you have to take a
09:11
Otherwise, they don't let you do it.
09:15
Hey, hey, Yurt the Turtle, a classic.
09:27
Actually, I I'm reading it to the baby.
09:31
The uh the baby that hasn't been born
09:35
yet. Uh wouldn't that mean you're crazy?
09:38
What? You don't think they can hear
09:44
You're not serious. I mean, do you you
09:47
really you really talk to it? Yeah, all
09:50
the time. I want the baby to know my
09:53
Do you uh do you talk about me? Yeah.
09:56
Yeah. All the time. Really? But um we
10:00
just refer to you as Bobo the sperm guy.
10:05
Bronte sisters were really remarkable
10:13
women for their time. They lived in a
10:16
patriarchal society. Sorry I'm late, but
10:18
Okay. So, what is the book about? I
10:23
thought you said you read it in high
10:27
school. Well, yeah, but then I
10:28
remembered I started it and then there
10:30
was this pep rally and I was I was on
10:31
top of the pyramid. But anyway, um
10:34
what's the book about? Okay. It's this
10:36
tragic love story between Kathy and
10:39
Heathcliffe and um it takes place on
10:41
these like really creepy moors in
10:44
England which I think represent the
10:45
wildness of Heath Cliff's character. I
10:47
totally get symbolism.
10:50
How would you characterize the theme of
10:54
this book? Uh let's see. Rachel Green.
10:56
Um well, I would have to say that it's a
11:03
it's a tragic love story. Well, that's
11:06
sort of a given, but yes. Anyone else?
11:09
Oh, oh, oh. Symbolism
11:14
and uh the the uh wildness of the moors,
11:17
which I think is is mirrored in the
11:21
wildness of uh Heath Cliff's character.
11:24
Excellent. What Rachel has shrewdly
11:29
You completely stole my answer. What?
11:34
Honey, that was pretty obvious. How
11:36
would you know? You didn't even read it.
11:38
What do you think? Uh, you in the blue
11:42
I think that um yours is a question with
11:48
many possible answers.
11:51
Would you care to venture one? Would you
11:54
care to venture one?
11:58
Are you just repeating what I'm saying?
12:01
Are you just repeating what I'm saying?
12:03
Check this out. It says here there's a
12:06
place you can go to rent videos of all
12:08
the museums. It's almost as good as
12:10
being there. It's better. You can't go
12:12
to a museum in your underwear.
12:16
Well, you could, but probably just the
12:19
I bet we could get videos of all the
12:23
sites, get a VCR in our hotel room. We'd
12:25
never even have to go
12:27
outside. If we do that, we've got to
12:29
Oh, I bet the British version is good.
12:34
Hey, what are you guys What are you guys
12:39
talking about? Nothing. Yeah.
12:40
Damn, this coffee is cold. Hey, Ra, do
12:45
you mind if I heat this up on your
12:48
You know, I cannot believe you told him,
12:54
So, I guess you bought that book after
12:58
we broke up, huh? Uh-huh. Yeah, I did
13:00
because I wore out my first copy when I
13:02
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Well, uh, when we were
13:06
going out, I read tons of porno
13:08
boss? How could you do that to an old
13:16
I'm sorry. I thought maybe I'd make some
13:32
warm milk and it would help me sleep
13:34
Thought you were going to read my boring
13:40
book to put you to sleep. It got
13:41
interesting. Damn you, Oprah.
13:44
Here, let me make the milk. I'm up
13:48
anyway. Hey, you know what we could do?
13:50
You know, now that we're up, we could
13:53
just like talk to each other all night
13:54
long. You know, like we did when we were
13:56
first going out. It would be fun. Okay,
13:58
that does sound fun. Yeah. So, I mean,
14:00
how bummed were you when the second
14:02
sister died? Huh? The second sister
14:04
No, no. I I I was talking about the book
14:15
I was reading. The Second Sister Dies in
14:18
Archie and Jug Head Double Digest.
14:20
Hey, Ra. How you doing with the shining?
14:27
Oh, Danny just went into room 217. Ooh,
14:30
the next part's the best. When that dead
14:33
lady in the bathtub. Oh, no, no, no, no,
14:35
no, no, no. Come on. You're going to
14:37
ruin it. All right, I'll talk in code.
14:38
Remember when the kid sees those two
14:41
blanks in the hallway?
14:43
All blank and no blank makes blank a
14:48
Oh, no, no, no. The end. When Jack
14:54
almost kills them all with that blank,
14:56
but then in the last second they get
14:58
Joey, I can't believe you just did that.
15:02
I can't believe she cracked your code.
15:04
All right. Okay. Lorie proposes to Joe
15:12
and she says no, even though she's still
15:15
in love with him. And then he ends up
15:17
Hey, mine was by accident.
15:22
All right. The boiler explodes and
15:26
destroys the hotel and kills the dad.
15:28
Is that true? If I keep reading, is Beth
15:47
No. Beth doesn't die. She doesn't die.
15:51
Does she Rachel? What? Joey's asking if
15:54
you've just ruined the first book he's
15:56
ever loved that didn't star Jack
15:58
What's wrong? I'm just so exhausted from
16:02
dragging around this huge engagement
16:05
Congratulations. So, did he get on one
16:09
knee? Did Did he have a speech prepared?
16:11
Yeah, big surprise. I like proposals.
16:17
Well, it was really sweet and like the
16:21
most romantic thing ever. Well, hey.
16:24
Well, here's to Phoebe who's found the
16:26
greatest guy in the world. To Phoebe and
16:28
I want to say Mike.
16:30
To Phoebe and Mike.
16:33
Thank you. Oh, and I have something for
16:36
you. It's Yeah, it's my little black
16:38
book. It's got the numbers of all the
16:40
Oh, that's nice. But you know what? I
16:44
think I'm okay. Why don't you give it to
16:46
one of your other single girlfriends? I
16:48
would, but you're the last
16:50
book. Pablo Diaz, Brady
16:56
Smith, guy in van. Oh, my first love.
17:00
What is the red X next to Bob Grieor's
17:07
Oh, it's okay. No, he was old. Yeah. And
17:13
he lived a full life. He was in the
17:16
first wave at Omaha Beach.
17:18
Yeah, I'm sorry. I should have given you
17:21
guys my black book when I got married.
17:23
Although it wasn't so much a book as a
17:24
napkin with Janice's phone number on it.
17:28
See Joe, that's why your parents told
17:43
you not to jump on the bed.
17:45
Hey. Hey. Oh, is it broken? No. I'm
17:50
going to wear this thing for a couple of
17:53
weeks. Did you tell the doctor you did
17:54
it jumping up and down on your bed? No.
17:56
Had a whole story worked up, but then uh
18:00
Chandler sold me out. Well, I'm sorry,
18:02
Joe. I didn't think the doctor was going
18:04
to buy that. It just fell out of the
18:06
Question number 28. Have you ever
18:10
allowed a lightning bearer to take your
18:12
I would have to say
18:16
no. And I would have to say paha.
18:19
What? Do you not remember the puppet
18:23
guy? Yeah, you like totally let him wash
18:26
his feet in the pool of your inner
18:28
And his puppet, too. Yeah. Okay. Well,
18:32
at least I didn't let some guy into the
18:35
forest of my righteous truth on the
18:37
Who? Paul? Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.
18:44
Moving on. Moving on. Next question.
18:48
Okay. Number 29. Have you ever betrayed
18:51
goddess for a lightning bearer? Okay.
18:55
Number 30. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Let's go
18:58
Not uh not to my recollection.
19:04
All right. Danny Arshack, ninth grade.
19:09
Oh, come on, Rachel. You know the bottle
19:11
was totally pointing at me. Only cuz you
19:13
took up half the circle.
19:15
Listen to you two. It's so
19:21
sad. Looks like I'm going to be going to
19:24
the goddess meetings
19:26
alone. Well, not when they find out you
19:28
slept with Jason Hurley an hour after he
19:31
Monica. One hour. You are such a leaf
19:36
I tell you, I love your mom's books. I
19:47
love her books. I cannot get on a plane
19:49
without one. I mean, this is so cool.
19:50
Yeah. Well, you wouldn't think it's cool
19:52
if you're 11 years old and all your
19:53
friends are passing around page 79 of
19:55
Hey, hey, hey. She's on.
19:59
Before we get to the book now, now what
20:07
is this about you? You being arrested in
20:08
London. What is that all about? Your mom
20:10
was arrested. Shh. Busy beaming with
20:12
This is kind of embarrassing, but
20:16
occasionally after I've been intimate
20:19
with the man. Now, why would she say
20:22
that's embarrassing?
20:23
I just get this craving for Kungpow
20:26
chicken. That's too much information.
20:29
All right. So, now you're doing this
20:35
whole book tour thing. How is that
20:37
going? Oh, fine. I'm leaving for New
20:38
York tomorrow, which I hate, but I get
20:40
to see my son, who I love.
20:43
And this is the way that I find out.
20:47
Most moms use the phone.
20:48
You know, don't take this wrong. I I
20:51
just don't see you as a mom somehow. I
20:53
don't mean that I don't mean that bad.
20:55
Oh, no. I am a fabulous mom. I brought
20:57
my son his first condoms.
21:00
And then he burst into flames. She's my
21:08
best friend. Well, Joey's my best
21:10
friend. I'm not your best friend.
21:12
"Of course you're my best friend. Would
21:20
you please tell Rachel, though? All
21:23
right. All right. At least I'm prepared.
21:25
Oh, yes. Hey. Hey. Hey. These aren't for
21:30
you. Are you upset? I am now.
21:33
Hey, room me. Okay. Bye.
21:39
Ra, there's something um important I
21:46
have to tell you. Are you pregnant?
21:49
No, but I'm throwing the shirt away.
21:53
I think there was a little
21:57
misunderstanding before um when I said
21:58
that uh that Chandler and I wanted to um
22:02
together, we meant alone
22:06
together. Oh my god. Oh, that's funny. I
22:13
can't believe I did that. Oh no,
22:16
sweetie. No. You know what? This is my
22:17
fault. I I wasn't clear. I I'm really
22:19
sorry. And listen, you take as much time
22:22
as you need to move out, okay? There's
22:26
absolutely no rush,
22:28
What is that? I think it's the dying cat
22:42
Sounds like it's coming from across the
22:48
What? You know that thing that Ross was
22:54
going to do at our wedding? He was
22:56
hanging out with me yesterday and he
22:58
turned to me and he said, "You're half
22:59
Scottish, right?" No, there is no way to
23:01
Why is your family Scottish?
23:15
Why is your family Ross?
23:18
You cannot play at our wedding. I mean,
23:22
everyone will leave. I mean, come on.
23:24
noise. It's not even a song.
23:28
If you listen very carefully, I
23:32
think it's celebration by calling the
23:34
Well, I feel like a snack. Do you want
23:43
some shortbread? It's Scottish like you
23:46
Oh, no thanks. I don't like anything
23:50
from my Scottish heritage. What?
23:52
Well, just my entire family was run out
23:56
Well, it sounds to me like your family
24:04
is ready to uh rediscover its Scottish
24:05
roots. You can't play bag pipes at the
24:08
How did you know about that? We heard
24:13
you play all the way from your
24:15
apartment. Were you the ones who called
24:16
That's not really important right now.
24:21
What is important is while we appreciate
24:23
the gesture, we just don't feel that bag
24:25
pipes are appropriate for our wedding.
24:28
Why not? Because we hate them. Just just
24:31
give me a chance to perform for you and
24:35
then decide whatever you want. And I'm
24:37
not going to tell you what song I'm
24:39
going to play either, but uh let's just
24:41
say when it's over, I'll bet there will
24:43
celebration. Remember, I'm still
24:51
learning. One, two, three, four.
25:03
You know the song. Sing along.
25:24
What you working on? Oh, Monica and

Chandler's recommendation. I want it to
25:51
sound smart, but I don't know any big
25:53
words or anything. So, well, why don't
25:55
you use your thesaurus? What did I just
25:56
here. You uh you highlight the word you
26:03
want to change. Uh go under tools and
26:05
the thesaurus generates
26:08
gives gives a whole list of choices. You
26:12
can pick the word that sounds smartest.
26:15
Oh my god, that's great. I'm smart. No,
26:17
no, I'm brainy, bright, clever. I love
26:21
thing. Look out, ladies. Joey Trivia's
26:25
got the whole package.
26:28
Joey, let me ask you a question. This
26:32
has been driving me crazy. What does
26:34
this light switch do? Oh, nothing. Did
26:35
it drive you crazy to have a switch and
26:38
not know what it did? I know what it
26:39
They wouldn't have put it there if it
26:44
didn't do something. How can you not
26:46
Done. Yep. Hey. Hey. What's up? This
26:56
switch thing has been driving me crazy.
27:00
So, I turned it off and checked every
27:02
outlet. Now, four of them don't work,
27:04
which means one of them has to be
27:06
controlled by the switch. So, I plugged
27:08
in things in all four outlets that that
27:10
make noise. That way, when I turn it on,
27:13
I just follow the noise and find out
27:14
I better stop listening before you did.
27:18
You know, you you also could have used
27:22
uh lamps and then followed the light.
27:24
Yeah. while I'm using
27:27
noise. Okay. All right. So, everybody
27:30
go. Something. I hear something. Where
27:38
it? It's coming from
27:52
Joey. Oh my god. That's so freaky. Turn
27:55
What are What are What are these? Oh,
28:10
just some pictures I made and hung up.
28:11
Thought they brighten up the place. They
28:14
do, don't you think?
28:17
I I know that there's no hole there. I I
28:26
just really like that picture.
28:28
Oh my god, look at this. Okay, but there
28:33
is a wire back there. I mean, that
28:35
switch is connected to something. I
28:37
don't care. The wires have come loose in
28:39
head. I just thought if I could follow
28:42
the wire, I could find out what it did.
28:44
No. It disappears back there behind that
28:49
baseboard. A minute there, I thought it
28:51
didn't. Say hello to Mrs. Katraus. Oh my
29:02
god. Hello, darling. Hello, Mrs.
29:05
The super couldn't figure out what it
29:15
did. The $200 an hour electrician
29:16
couldn't figure out what it did.
29:19
I've had seven pretty serious
29:21
shocks. I officially give up. Thank God.
29:24
nothing. I'm doing it. I am totally
29:43
