I remember being in the chapel.

53
I can't have a mimosa with breakfast.
54
I'm on vacation.
55
What are you guys gonna do?
56
Oh, I guess we just find a divorce lawyer?
57
Well, I think, I think, Ross already has one.
58
Now, this one's free, right?
59
Because you paid for the first two, so you get the third one for free.
60
Laugh it up, but the joke's on you, because we don't need to get divorced.
61
Okay, we're just gonna get an annulment.
62
An annulment?
63
Ross, I don't think surgery's the answer here.
64
Oh, oh, that's your thing.
65
What?
66
Your thing, your thing, you know, that you're the guy who gets divorced.
67
Oh, yeah, yeah.
68
That's not my thing.
69
I do not love getting divorced.
70
Yes, you do.
71
This is your third divorce.
72
You love divorce so much, I'm probably gonna marry it. And then...
73
And then it won't work out, so you're gonna have to divorce it, divorcing guy.
74
I'm so drunk.
75
Hey, so, uh, did everything go okay with the annulment?
76
Oh, yeah, no problems.
77
It's all taken care of.
78
Ross, thank you.
79
Oh.

100
You didn't get the annulment?
101
I know.
102
Ross?
103
Well, I tried, but when I got to my lawyer's office, all I could hear was, three divorces!
104
Three divorces!
105
Look, I just don't want I don't want my tombstone to read Ross Geller, Three Divorces.
106
Don't be worried about that.
107
Your tombstone can say whatever you want it to say.
108
It can say, Ross Geller, good at marriage.
109
You know?
110
Mine's gonna say, Phoebe Buffay, buried alive.
111
Well, all I know is I can't have another failed marriage.
112
So, okay, what, you're gonna be married to a girl who doesn't even know about it?
113
Woman, sorry!
114
Okay, so I don't have it all worked out quite yet.
115
Just don't.. don't say anything to Rachel, please.
116
Rachel is one of my closest friends.
117
Although being the only one that knows about this does make me feel special.
118
Okay.
119
Okay, stop, stop, stop.
120
Phoebe!
121
Hey, Rach!
122
What was that?
123
Sorry, mix-up.
124
Hey, how was the movie?
125
I haven't seen it yet.
126
Then you better hurry.
127
The Angelica, go!
128
Bye.
129
Bye.
130
Oh, no. So, did you get the annulment?
131
I couldn't.
132
I knew it because you love Rachel.
133
It's not that, okay?
134
Annulments are more complicated than I...
135
Yeah, complicated because of the love.
136
I do not love Rachel.
137
I'm going to tell her right now about the whole thing so we can get this marriage annulled as fast as possible.
138
Okay, would I do that if I loved her?
139
I've never been more convinced of your love for her.
140
I do not have feelings for Rachel, okay?
141
Oh, what's wrong?
142
My God, Chandler are really moving in here, and I have to move out, and everything is changing.
143
Oh, my God.
144
Come here.
145
Come here.
146
It's okay.
147
Oh, everything's gonna be okay.
148
Thank you.
149
Fuck you. Of course.
150
Hey.
151
Dude, some guy just called for you.
152
Who was it?
153
I don't know.
154
How about thanks for taking the message?
155
Jeez.
156
Hey, listen.
157
You know when you move in, Rachel's room's gonna be empty.
158
You wanna talk about what we wanna do with it?
159
Sure.
160
Okay.
161
I was thinking we should have a beautiful guest room, right?
162
with a mahogany sleigh bed and bedside tables with flowers on it all the time.
163
And then we could have, like, a roll-top desk with little comment cards so people can tell us how much they love staying here.
164
Or whatever, you know, I really haven't thought about it that much.
165
Well, I like that idea, obviously.
166
But I was thinking maybe, maybe, maybe it could be a game room, you know?
167
I mean, you can buy old arcade games like, uh, like Space Invaders and Asteroids for $200.
168
The real ones, the big, big, big ones.
169
No. Okay, so you mean no as in, gee, Chandler, what an interesting idea.
170
Let's discuss it before we reject it completely.
171
Oh, I'm sorry.
172
Go ahead.
173
Yes, interesting idea.
174
Talk about it.
175
But no. So that's it?
176
I just don't think that, you know, arcade games go in the beautiful guest room.
177
The beautiful guest room is gonna be filled with antiques.
178
Which is why Asteroids is perfect.
179
It's the oldest game.
180
What do you have against the beautiful guest room?
181
Nothing.
182
I don't have anything against the beautiful guest room, especially since everybody that we know lives about 30 seconds away. Are you mocking me?
183
No, I'm not mocking you or your beautiful game meme.
184
Hey, what's up?
185
Nothing.
186
Monica and I had a stupid fight.
187
But you're still moving in together, right? because my ad came out today.
188
Wanted female roommate, non-smoker, non-ugly.
189
Nice.
190
Yeah?
191
I just figured, you know, after living with you, it'd be an interesting change of pace to have a female roommate, you know?
192
Someone I could learn from, someone who's different than me.
193
And what's more different than me, a guy who's not 19, than, say, a girl who is 19.
194
Yeah?
195
Ha-ha.
196
Not just a hat rack, my friend.
197
Okay, uh, well, today's my first lecture, and I kind of wanted to try it out on you guys.
198
Do you mind?
199
Yeah, that'd be great.
200
Sure.
201
We're kidding.
202
Ah, mmm, mmm.
203
There are three primary theories concerning sediment flow rate.
204
Each of these theories can be further subcategorized into two distinct...
205
Oh, this is it.
206
This is what's gonna kill me.
207
Subcategories.
208
The first of these subcategories is...
209
Uh, Luke Ross, are there, uh, are there naked chicks on that piece of paper?
210
No, why?
211
Well, I've just never seen a guy stare so hard at a piece of paper that didn't have naked chicks on it.
212
Oh, okay.
213
Okay.
214
Okay.
215
There are three primary theories concerning sediment flow rate.
216
Each of these theories can be further subcategorized into these...
217
Why don't you open with a joke?
218
Open with a joke?
219
It's a university, not a comedy club.
220
Wait a minute.
221
Hold the phone.
222
You're not talking about Chuckles University?
223
Hello.
224
Hey, how'd the lecture go?
225
It went great.
226
And I didn't need any jokes or naked chicks either.
227
Oh, that's great, Ross.
228
I'm sorry we weren't more supportive before.
229
I knew all I had to do was let the materials speak for itself.
230
Everyone's all, uh, Ross, you have to be funny and sexy.
231
Well, I proved them wrong.
232
And now I'm gonna pass the news on to Joey and Chandler.
233
That you're not funny or sexy?
234
That's right.
235
Right.
236
So when Rigby got his samples back from the laboratory, he made a startling discovery.
237
What he believed to be igneous was in fact sedimentary.
238
Imagine his consternation when...
239
Oh, bloody hell.
240
What the hell are you doing?
241
Look, I was nervous.
242
You guys had me all worried.
243
I was gonna be boring.
244
I got up there, and they were all, like, staring at me.
245
I opened my mouth, and this British accent just came out.
246
Yeah, not a very good one.
247
Will you.. will you please?
248
Dr. Geller.
249
Kurt Rathman.
250
I'm a professor in the paleontology department here.
251
Oh.
252
Do you have a moment to talk about your lecture?
253
I'm sorry.
254
I've got plans with my sister.
255
Monica Geller.
256
Right.
257
Will you excuse us for one moment?
258
What are you doing?
259
Oh, you can have an accent, but I can't.
260
Talk by the morning to you, laddie.
261
Keep going.
262
We are phasing the accent out.
263
Phasing it out.
264
So without retesting their results in the laboratory,
265
the team would never have identified the initial errors in their carbon dating analysis.
266
Were there any questions at this point?
267
Yes.
268
What's happening to your accent?
269
Come again?
270
What's this nonsense?
271
All right, I'm not English.
272
I'm from Long Island.
273
I was really nervous, and the accent just came out.
274
I'm sorry.
275
So if we could just get back to the lecture Were there any questions About paleontology
276
All right, I was just trying to make a good first impression obviously I screwed up
277
But what you guys think of me is really important because I'm hoping to get a permanent job here
278
So if you just give me another chance to make a good impression Ross, are you crazy?
279
I am still your wife!
280
What, were you just never gonna tell me?
281
What the hell is wrong with you?
282
I could just kill you!
283
Well, Rachel!
284
You two were involved in a serious relationship.
285
That really creates a problem.
286
Ross, Your Honor, rest assured, that relationship ended two years ago, and can you please strike consummated like bunnies from the record?
287
Is there anything in this record that is actually true?
288
Uh, well, yes, we got married in Vegas.
289
And, uh, and the names, I think?
290
Well, based on what I've heard, you two certainly don't qualify for an annulment.
291
If you don't want to be together, you'll have to file for divorce.
292
That's great.
293
You happy now?
294
Look what you did with your funny, funny form.
295
What, me?
296
What about you and your consummated-like-bunnies nonsense?
297
And what are you typing that for?
298
See what he said?
299
We don't get the annulment.
300
Don't type that.
301
What?
302
Stop typing.
303
Hey, stop typing.
304
Stop typing, stop typing.
305
Okay, okay, do you see?
306
Do you see what you are keeping me married to?
307
You need to get out of my chambers.
308
All right, look, lady, here is the deal.
309
I came here for an annulment, and I am not leaving here until I get one.
310
Would you like to spend the night in jail?
311
Thank you for your time.
312
How's it going?
313
I'm doing okay.
314
I think it's going well.
315
Do you think they're having fun?
316
Am I talking too fast?
317
Nope.
318
Sound like me.
319
You're just going great.
320
Look at Chandler with little baby girl Chandler.
321
Little baby girl Chandler.
322
Where have I heard that before?
323
All right, Coach Rubin.
324
You know what, thieves?
325
When you're done over there, we've got a kind of situation over here, too.
326
Nuh-uh.
327
No, we are all responsible for our own babies.
328
See, that's why I think that you're wrong.
329
We've been playing these babies man-to-man.
330
We should really be playing a zone defense.
331
What do you mean?
332
I just think things will go a lot smoother if we each have our own zone, you know?
333
Phoebe, you can be in charge of wiping.
334
And, you know, Mon, you can be in charge of diapering.
335
And I can be in charge of looking at how cute they are when they put their hands around them.
336
That sounds really great, but maybe you should be in charge of wiping.
337
Okay, I'm a rookie.
338
I should not be in the end zone.
339
Oh, my God.
340
I know.
341
The babies are asleep.
342
What happened here?
343
I did it.
344
I took care of the babies all by myself.
345
But my apartment.. was the setting of Phoebe's triumph.
346
What the mess?
347
It's not as important as the fact that Phoebe took care of the babies all by herself.
348
You're right.
349
You're right.
350
I shouldn't freak out.
351
Because this is what it's gonna be like when you and I have babies.
352
When will that be?
353
Phoebe, would you take a look at this mess?
354
Why don't you just put one more hand?
355
Just one more hand.
356
No, no, no more.
357
I cannot lose another dime.
358
I'm serious this time.
359
In fact, look, there's a...
360
I want to give you something, okay?
361
And let me give it to you now before I pawn it for Cups money.
362
Now, I want you to have the big white dog as a kind of a, you know, like a...
363
Thank you for being such a great roommate.
364
I can't take the big white dog.
365
You love it.
366
It's him, not it.
367
What if I bought it from you?
368
You know, and then your nice gesture would be giving it to me at a reasonable price, say $1,500.
369
Wait a second.
370
I see what you're trying to do here.
371
You're trying to give me money again.
372
When did I try to give you money?
373
Before, over there, with the bills.
374
You tried to give me charity.
375
I said no, you dropped it.
376
Okay, then we had a nice last night together.
377
We had some fun, we gambled.
378
Nobody tried to give anybody any money.
379
Now, out of the blue, you'd start with the charity thing again.
380
I'm just trying to help you out, okay?
381
I want to make sure that you're okay.
382
I will be okay.
383
Look, Chandler, you got to get it out of your head that I can't take care of myself, okay?
384
Look, I'm not gonna miss you helping me out with money.
385
The only thing that I'm gonna miss is you. And now the dog.
386
Hey, guys.
387
Hey.
388
What's up?
389
You know, oh, my God.
390
What happened to your teeth?
391
I whitened them.
392
Really?
393
Yeah, what do you think?
394
Well, I think I shouldn't look directly at them.
395
Come on, seriously.
396
They're really, really, really white.
397
Yeah, what was wrong with your old human teeth?
398
I did leave the gel on a little longer than it said to.
399
How much longer?
400
A day.
401
Plus, you know that tonight is your date with Hillary.
402
I know.
403
That's why I did it.
404
Come on, are they really that bad?
405
No. No, no, no. You'll be fine.
406
Hillary's blind, right?
407
She will be after tonight.
408
Oh, hey, hey, Rach.
409
Do you notice anything?
410
Yeah, your teeth?
411
Yes.
412
I saw them from outside.
413
Okay, maybe this will make your teeth look less white.
414
Nope.
415
No, okay, so, uh, colors that don't work are blue, yellow, green, red, black, white, orange, and purple.
416
I don't know what I'm gonna do.
417
The date starts in, like, an hour.
418
Hey, Ross, maybe if your skin was lighter, your teeth wouldn't look so bright.
419
Oh, great, so all I need to do is get some new skin.
420
Thank you.
421
Just saying, if you put just a little bit of makeup on you...
422
Oh, whoa, whoa.
423
No. We're not 13 anymore.
424
Ross, this is the only thing left that has a shot at working.
425
But won't she notice I have makeup on?
426
Please, half the guys out there have makeup on.
427
What? And half the people.
428
I mean, just try it and see.
429
No, I am not putting on makeup.
430
Hello?
431
Oh, good.
432
Ross, could you put up some of these flyers for me?
433
No, Damon!
434
Damon!
435
Hey, Joey.
436
Hey.
437
Uh, can I talk to you for a second?
438
There's a kid in this picture.
439
Do you, uh, you know this kid?
440
Is that, like, a relative or something?
441
No, I just thought it was cute.
442
Yeah, that's what I was afraid of.
443
Okay, uh...
444
Look, Janine, I really want you to feel at home here, but some of this new stuff, it's just, it's too girly.

508
Monica and Chandler are living together Ross married Rachel in Vegas and got divorced
509
That's a lot of information to get in 30 seconds.
510
All right, Monica, why you felt you had to hide the fact that you're in an important relationship is beyond me.
511
And we kind of figured about the porch swing.
512
Ross, drugs, divorced again.
513
What happened, son?
514
I-I, uh, I got tricked into all those things.

521
Oh, my God.
522
It's my new apothecary table.
523
Ross, Phoebe's gonna be here any second.
524
She cannot see this.
525
Oh, why not?
526
She'll love it.
527
It's the real thing.
528
I got it at Pottery Barn.
529
I know you did.
530
I bought the same one and if she sees your table, she's gonna know that I lied to her.
531
I told her that ours was an original.
532
Why did you do that?
533
Because she hates Pottery Barn.
534
She hates Pottery Barn?
535
I know, I know.
536
She says it's all mass-produced, nothing is authentic, and everyone winds up having the same stuff.
537
So come on, she's gonna be here any second.
538
Can we please just cover this up with something, please?
539
What?
540
No, no. I am not gonna hide it from Phoebe.
541
Oh, although I did get some great Pottery Barn sheets.
542
Oh!
543
Oh!
544
Oh, I forgot they made sheets.
545
Yeah.
546
I still can't believe she hates Pottery Barn.
547
Ross, get over it.
548
It's not like she hates you.
549
Yeah, but Pottery Barn!
550
You know what I think?
551
It's just.. she's weird, you know?
552
It's because she's a twin.
553
Twins are weird.
554
She's not weird.
555
She just likes her stuff to be one of a kind.
556
Huh.
557
You know what's not one of a kind?
558
A twin.
559
Hey!
560
Hey!
561
Hey!
562
Oh, Phoebe's here, okay?
563
So let's turn out all the lights and we'll just watch the movie.
564
Okay.
565
Hey, ooh, cool sheet.
566
Oh, you like it?
567
You wanna know where I got it?
568
Sure.
569
Make it, make it at a flea market.
570
You bought your sheets at a flea market? flea market Ross
571
come on you gotta loosen the purse strings a little
572
please not put your feet up on my new old sheet
573
I got it at Pottery Barn, okay?
574
Oh my God!
575
Phoebe, Pottery Barn has ripped off the design of our antique!
576
Wow!
577
Oh my God!
578
Well, if they've ripped off our table, ours must be worth much more than one in fifty dollars.
579
Wow, this doesn't even smell like opium.
580
Of course not.
581
It smells like wine, which you spilled.
582
And thanks for wrecking my sheep, by the way.
583
Oh, Ross, calm down.
584
I'll give you the 80 cents.
585
Ross, listen, now, you want anything to drink?
586
Because I'm heading up there.
587
Uh, yeah, I'll take a coffee.
588
Thanks, man.
589
Sure.
590
Coffee?
591
Huh?
592
Coffee?
593
Because I'm going up there.
594
Oh, no, thank you.
595
Okay.
596
You guys need anything?
597
Because I'm heading up there.
598
I'd love, uh, ice water.
599
I have, uh, ice water.
600
You got it.
601
Joey, what are you doing?
602
Just being friendly.
603
Joey, honey, I don't think you're supposed to go back there.
604
No, no, it's okay.
605
Right, Gunther?
606
Don't wink at me.
607
And put on your apron.
608
Okay.
609
I don't see you asking any other paying customers to put on aprons.
610
Joey, do you work here?
611
No. Waiter.
612
Yeah.
613
Joey, what's going on?
614
Why didn't you tell us you work here?
615
Well, that's kind of embarrassing, you know?
616
I mean, I was an actor.
617
Now I'm a waiter.
618
It's supposed to go in the other direction. So is your apron.
619
You're wearing it like a cape.
620
I mean, the job's easy and the money's good, you know?
621
And I guess when I'm gonna be hanging out here anyway, I might as well get paid for it, right?
622
I just feel kind of weird serving you guys, you know?
623
That'd be great.
624
Joey, come on.
625
I did it and it was fine.
626
Yeah, why would it be weird?
627
Hey, Joey, uh, can I get some coffee?
628
Okay, I guess it doesn't seem that weird.
629
Seriously, I asked you before, you still haven't gotten it.
630
And now it's weird again.
631
I think it's great that you work here.
632
You're gonna make a lot of money, and here's your first tip.
633
Don't eat yellow snow.
634
2-15 coffee house.
635
85. What do you mean?
636
Yesterday you said I was too pretty to pay for stuff.
637
It's just I can't, because my manager said that I...
638
Happy birthday to you.
639
Happy birthday to you.
640
Happy birthday, dear Annie.
641
Amy.
642
Amy.
643
Happy birthday to you.
644
Hey.
645
Hey, that's weird.
646
Today's my birthday, too.
647
Yeah, not in here, it is.
648
Happy birthday to you.
649
You're paying for that.
650
No, no, it's her birthday.
651
You've sung happy birthday to 20 different women today.
652
You are no longer authorized to distribute birthday muffins.
653
Damn it!
654
Hey, what have you guys been up to?
655
Oh, we went to a self-defense class today.
656
Wow.
657
Yeah, kicking a guy in the crotch all morning really takes it out of you.
658
Takes it out of you.
659
No, now we can kick anybody's ass.
660
After one class?
661
I don't think so.
662
I don't think so.
663
What?
664
You want to see me self-defend myself?
665
Go over there and pretend you're a sexual predator.
666
Go on, I dare you!
667
Of course you could defend yourself from an attack you know is coming.
668
That's not enough.
669
Look, I studied karate for a long time.
670
And there's a concept you should really be familiar with.
671
It's what the Japanese call unagi.
672
Isn't that a kind of sushi?
673
No, it's a concept.
674
Yeah, it is, it is.
675
It's freshwater eel.
676
All right, maybe it means that, too.
677
Oh, I would kill for a salmon skin roll right now.
678
No, fine, get attacked.
679
I don't even care.
680
Come on, Ross, we're sorry.
681
Please tell us what it is.
682
Unagi is a state of total awareness, okay?
683
Only by achieving true unagi can you be prepared for any danger that may befall you.
684
You mean in case someone's trying to steal your bamboo sleeping mat or your kettle of fish?
685
All I'm saying is it's one thing being prepared for an attack against, like, each other.
686
Whole nother story being prepared for an attack.
687
I don't know, like, surprise!
688
All right, you knew that was coming, but that doesn't mean you have unagi.
689
Ooh, you know what?
690
If we made reservations, we could have unagi in about a half hour.
691
Oh, it's time.
692
Oh, yes, last one.
693
Danger!
694
Danger!
695
What?
696
What?
697
What the hell was that?
698
A lesson in the importance of onagi.
699
Oh, you're a freak.
700
Perhaps.
701
Now, I'm curious.
702
At what point during those girlish screams would you have begun to kick my ass?
703
All right.
704
So we weren't prepared.
705
I'm sorry I had to take such drastic measures to make my point, but I, look, I just want you guys to be safe.
706
Oh.
707
Danger!
708
Uh-huh.
709
Unagi.
710
Danger!
711
Ah, salmon skin roll.
712
Cat Sajak?
713
Yeah.
714
Alex Trebek?
715
Oh, of course.
716
Chuck Woolery?
717
Definitely, Phoebe.
718
You will not find a single game show host whose ass I cannot kick.
719
Oh!
720
Say it!
721
Say we are, Unagi!
722
It's not something you are, it's something you have!
723
Say it!
724
You know what, I can easily get out of this, but there's a chance you can get very, very hurt!
725
Oh!
726
Uh-huh.
727
Nowhere is the end of the day.
728
I'm not going to be a good day.
729
I'm not going to be a good day.
730
Uh-huh.
731
Nowhere to run.
732
I don't like sitting up here.
733
I'm gonna go over the...
734
Rachel, they got here first!
735
Why is Ross doing that?
736
Danger!
737
Oh, my God!
738
Why is he jumping on those women?
739
We should help them.
740
I don't think they need any help.
741
Professor Geller?
742
Oh, a student I don't know.
743
I was wondering if I could talk to you for a moment?
744
Yes, of course.
745
What would this be regarding?
746
Making out in your office?
747
Shhh!
748
Uh, of course.
749
Why don't we go inside?
750
Oh, oh.
751
What?
752
Doorknob.
753
Doorknob.
754
Oh, sorry.
755
Um, I actually do need to talk to you.
756
Oh, okay.
757
What about?
758
Uh, spring vacation?
759
Spring vacation?
760
Yeah, we have time off, and a lot of people are going on trips and...
761
Professor Geller.
762
Yes, Professor Friesenstindlender.
763
I'll be with you in one moment in one moment.
764
So, I will take one box of the Thin Mints.
765
I'm so sorry.
766
Please stop freaking out.
767
I'm not freaking out.
768
Why would I be freaking out?
769
A woman named Hildy called and said we were getting married, but that happens every day.
770
Ah!
771
Honey, we were at this beautiful place, And I-I just put our names down for fun.
772
I mean, what's the harm in that?
773
Right here.
774
Well...
775
Chandler, please don't think I was trying to pressure you.
776
Phoebe and Rachel just thought that...
777
Phoebe and Rachel!
778
So the people that knew about our wedding before me were you, Phoebe and Rachel, Hildy, and apparently some band called Starlight Magic 7,
779
who are available, by the way.
780
It was a mistake.
781
Please don't take this to mean anything, because it doesn't.
782
Okay.
783
Really?
784
Yes, if it really doesn't mean anything, because you know that I'm just not ready.
785
I know.
786
I know.
787
Okay.
788
All right.
789
I'm gonna go tell Joey that you're back.
790
He's really worried about you.
791
Hey, did she buy it?
792
Totally.
793
So did Hildy show you the place?
794
Yeah, it's beautiful.
795
I can't believe you're going to ask Monica to marry you.
796
I know.
797
Hey, Gopher.
798
Hey, take these cappuccinos to table 11, and that guy over there wants some biscotti.
799
Oh, well, I just actually came in for a cup of coffee to go.
800
Do you still work here?
801
No, no, I quit a long time ago.
802
Did I forget to tell you that?
803
I'm sorry.
804
That's cool.
805
I was gonna fire you anyway.
806
Great.
807
Guys?
808
I've got something important to tell you.
809
Guys?
810
Guys?
811
Guys?
812
I'm gonna ask Monica to marry me.
813
I think we gotta end the freeze out.
814
Wait a minute, is this for real?
815
Yeah, check out the ring.
816
Oh, my God!
817
So you two are really serious.
818
Yeah, pretty much.
819
You're gonna get married?
820
I mean, we're gonna be brothers-in-law.
821
Come here.
822
And we're gonna be friends again.
823
Hey, what?
824
Water under the bridge, forget it.
825
I was gonna wait till it was official, you know, but I got so excited I just had to tell you guys because you're my best friend.
826
I think I'm gonna cry.
827
No, more crying.
828
Please, I just dumped one crybaby.
829
I'll dump you two.
830
I'm gonna ask Monica to marry me.
831
Oh my god.
832
Oh my god.
833
Oh Chandler, you guys are gonna be so happy.
834
I know.
835
Where's all the tissue?
836
Check out the ring.
837
Oh!
838
Oh!
839
Nice.
840
One and a half carat easy.
841
Hey, hey, hey, Pheebs.
842
Chandler's gonna ask Monica to marry him.
843
Oh, I know.
844
I helped pick out the ring.
845
Oh!
846
You told her before you told us?
847
Well, she walked in while I was looking at the ring brochures.
848
You can understand that, right?
849
Guys?
850
Oh, my God.
851
Chandler?
852
And all my life, I never thought I would be so lucky.
853
Just to fall in love with my best.
854
My best.
855
There's a reason why girls don't do this.
856
I'll do it.
857
I thought...
858
I can do this.
859
I thought that it mattered what I said or where I said it.
860
Then I realized the only thing that matters is that you...
861
You make me happier than I ever thought I could be.
862
And if you let me, I will spend the rest of my life trying to make you feel the same way.
863
Monica, will you marry me?
864
Yes.
865
I knew you were likely to take a wife.
866
Can we come in yet?
867
We're dying out here.
868
Come in, come in.
869
We're engaged.
870
Wow.
871
This is the least jealous I've ever been.
872
Oh, no, wait, no, this is wrong.
873
Ross isn't here!
874
Oh!
875
Oh, hell, he's done this three times!
876
He knows what it's about!

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
