Extremely allergic, okay?

If I am anywhere near a dog for more than five minutes, my throat will just close up.
32
That's odd, because this dog's been living here for the past three days.
33
Really?
34
Chandler, if the dog has been here that long and you haven't had a reaction, maybe you're not allergic to this dog.

I'm going Commando, too.
362
Oh.
363
This is my favorite part.
364
Yeah, me too.
365
Oh, you know what's sadder than this?
366
Bambi.
367
I cried for three days with that movie.
368
No, wait, two.
369
Because on the third day, my mother killed herself, so I was partly crying for that.
370
Well, see, now, that I can see crying over, but Bambi is a cartoon.
371
You didn't cry when Bambi's mother died?
372
Yes, it was very sad when the guy stopped drawing the deer.
373
You know, Chandler, there's nothing wrong with crying
374
You don't have to be so macho all the time I'm not macho
375
Yeah, you're right I don't know what I was thinking
376
Well, I guess I just never really cried, you know I'm not a crying kind of guy
377
Come on, man, there's got to be something that gets you choked up
378
Like, uh, uh, what if you saw a three -legged puppy?
379
I'd be sad, sure
380
But I wouldn't cry.
381
Okay, uh, what if the puppy said, Help me, Chandler.
382
All the other puppies pick on me.
383
Cry?
384
I just found a talking puppy.
385
I'm rich.
386
Oh, I've got it.
387
I have got it.
388
Pictures from your childhood.
389
This will get you going good.
390
All right, what's going on there?
391
Oh, that's Parents' Day, first grade that's me with the the janitor martin where are your parents oh they didn't want to come
392
oh chandler poor thing so
393
that story doesn't make you cry no look i don't cry
394
it's not a big deal okay no it's not okay it's not okay at all you're dead inside hey sweetie hey
395
Chicken soup for the soul?
396
There's no back to this couch.
397
Why are you reading this?
398
You hate this kind of stuff.
399
Yeah, I know.
400
I figured I'd give it a shot.
401
You know, I mean, maybe one of those stories would make me cry, and then you wouldn't think I was, you know, all dead inside.
402
Aw, that's so sweet.
403
Chandler, I don't care if you can't cry.
404
I love you.
405
Aw, that makes me feel so warm in my hollow tin chest.
406
Stop it.
407
No, I mean, come on, seriously.
408
Think about it.
409
We get married, I'm up at the altar, and I'm like this.
410
I won't care.
411
Because I know that you'll be feeling it all in here.
412
Yeah?
413
Yeah.
414
And if we have a baby one day, and the doctor hands it to you in the delivery room, and you don't cry, so what?
415
And if we take him to college, and we come home, and -and we see his empty room for the first time
416
and you got nothing won't matter to me
417
okay well i won't uh worry about this anymore then yeah and you know if i die
418
from a long illness and you're writing out my eulogy
419
and you open the desk drawer and you find a note for me
420
that says i will always be with you and you still can't shed one tiny tear
421
i know you'll be crying a river inside i love you what is wrong with you
422
what you can't shed a tear for your dead wife i left you a note from the beyond
423
so you didn't mean any of that no you robot I I don't even know what to say thank you
424
my god are you crying I just don't see why those two can't work things out
425
Who wants light cheese and who wants dark cheese?
426
I don't even want to know about the dark cheese.
427
Does anybody want to split this with me?
428
No, I will.
429
Mm, you guys have to make a wish.
430
Make a wish?
431
Come on, you know, Thanksgiving.
432
Oh, you got the bigger half.
433
What'd you wish for?
434
The bigger half.
435
All right, I'd like to propose a toast.
436
A little toast here.
437
I know this isn't exactly the kind of Thanksgiving that all of you planned, but for me, this has been really great, you know?
438
I think because it didn't involve divorce or projectile vomiting.
439
Anyway, I was just thinking, I mean, if you'd gone to Vail, or if you guys had been with your family,
440
or if you didn't have syphilis and stuff, we wouldn't be all together, you know?
441
So I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm very thankful that all of your Thanksgiving sucked.
442
That's so sweet.
443
Thank you.
444
And hey, here's to a lousy Christmas.
445
And a crappy New Year.
446
Here he is!
447
Zelda looked at the chimney sweep.
448
Her father, the vicar...
449
Vicar?
450
Wouldn't be home for hours.
451
Her loins were burning.
452
She threw caution to the wind and reached out and grabbed his...
453
Whoa!
454
Whoa!
455
Oh, this is a dirty book.
456
Hey, Joey.
457
What you doing?
458
Sweeping.
459
Why?
460
Did it turn you on?
461
No. What if I was, uh, sweeping a chimney?
462
Joey, did you eat my face cream?
463
Where you going? and the vicar won't be home for hours.
464
Joey?
465
Where did you learn that word? Where do you think?
466
Zelda?
467
You found my book?
468
Yeah, I did.

475
I'm not ashamed of my book.
476
There's nothing wrong with a woman enjoying a little...
477
erotica.
478
It's just a healthy expression of female sexuality, which, by the way, is something that you will never understand.

You got porn.

510
Oh, she was a cruel, cranky old bitch.
511
And I'm sorry she died.
512
Did Dad say I get the dollhouse?
513
You get the dollhouse.
514
I get the dollhouse!
515
Wow, a house for dolls.
516
That is so cool.
517
When I was a kid, I had a barrel.
518
Uh, Pheebs, you had a barrel for a dollhouse?
519
No, just a barrel.
520
You know what?
521
You can play with my dollhouse.
522
Really?
523
Really?
524
Anytime you want.
525
You know, when I was younger, all I wanted to do was to play with this dollhouse.
526
But no, it was to be looked at, but never played with.
527
My grandmother used to say that exact same thing to me.
528
Hey.
529
Hey, who?
530
Oh!
531
Oh, Monica!
532
It's so beautiful!
533
I know!
534
So, I'm here, ready to play.
535
Okay.
536
I brought a bunch of stuff for the house.
537
So check it out.
538
Ha -ha.
539
What's this?
540
That's a dog.
541
Every house should have a dog.
542
Not one that can pee on the roof.
543
Maybe it's so big because the house was built on radioactive waste.
544
And is this in case the house sneezes?
545
No. No, that's the ghost for the attic.
546
I don't want a ghost.
547
Well, nobody wants a ghost. But you've got one.
548
Because the house is sitting on an ancient Indian burial ground.
549
Wait a minute.
550
The house was built on radioactive waste and an ancient Indian burial ground. That would never happen.
551
Okay, obviously, you don't know much about the U .S government.
552
Dinosaur attack!
553
Quick, everybody, into the house!
554
All right, Phoebe, you know what?
555
That's it.
556
That's it.
557
All right?
558
No dinosaurs, no ghosts, no giant dogs, okay?
559
They're not the right size, they're not Victorian, and they just don't go.
560
Okay.
561
Fine.
562
Come, dinosaur.
563
We're not welcome in the house of no imagination.
564
Look, everybody!
565
Look at my new dollhouse!
566
Look, look!
567
Hey, what's this?
568
Oh, okay, it's a slide instead of stairs.
569
Very interesting, Phoebe.
570
What's this?
571
The licorice room.
572
You can eat all the furniture.
573
And when guests come over, they can stay on the Tootsie Rollaway bed.
574
This is the coolest house ever!
575
Hey, does anyone want to join me in the aroma room?
576

609
And, Joey, you can't say anything.
610
Couldn't if I wanted to.
611
So now we draw cards.

Oh, good for you.
615
Okay, Pheebs, how many do you want?
616
Okay, I just need two.

Oh, wait, I have the ten of spades.

627

628
So then, um, you were lying. About what?
629
About how good your cards were.
630
I was bluffing.
631
Aha!
632
And what is bluffing?
633
Is it not another word for lying?
634
Okay, sorry to break up this party, but I've got resumes to fax before work tomorrow.
635
Rach, Rach, we gotta settle.
636
Settle what?
637
The Jamestown Colony of Virginia.
638
You see, King George is giving us the land someday.
639
The game, Rachel, the game.
640
You owe us money for the game.
641
Oh, right.
642
You know what, you guys?
643
It's their first time.
644
Why don't we just forget about the money?
645
Hell no, we'll pay.
646
If Monica, I had another answer already. And you know what?
647
We want a rematch.
648
Well, that's fine with me.

689
But, uh, look how happy she is.
690
Honey, you made the bet again.
691
I told you, you don't have to do that.
692
This isn't camp.
693
Oh, then I guess the panty raid last night was totally uncalled for.
694
Okay, I am going to take a shower, and today I will be singing Jim Croce's Leroy Brown.
695
Monica!
696
Hey, Ma, I have a question.
697
Is Leroy the baddest man in the whole damn town or the fattest man in the whole damn town?
698
The baddest.
699
Otherwise, the song would be fat, fat, Leroy Brown.
700
What are you doing?
701
I'm just waiting for you, sweetie.
702
Are you remaking the bed?
703
I'm sorry.
704
I'm sorry.
705
You know what?
706
The way you did it, it was just fine.
707
Then you're redoing it because?
708
If I tell you, you'll think I'm crazy.
709
You're pretty much running that risk either way.
710
Okay, you see, the duvet tag shouldn't be at the top left corner.
711
It should be at the bottom right corner.
712
Oh.
713
Well, that's not so crazy.
714
I'm just easing you in.
715
All right.
716
All right, you see these little flower blossoms?
717
They should be facing up, not down, because, well, the head of the bed is where the sun would be.
718
You don't love me anymore, do you?
719
Actually, if it's possible, I love you more.
720
Really?
721
Wow.
722
Well, then come on.
723
I want to show you how to fold a toilet paper into a point.
724
Yeah, I'm definitely...
725
I don't like the name Ross.
726
What a weird way to kick me when I'm down.
727
No, no. I just...
728
I meant for the baby.
729
Oh.
730
What's wrong with Ross?
731
Well, it's just, you know, something like this would never happen to, like, the Hulk.
732
You know.
733

740
Except for, huh, Joey Buttafuoco.
741
Yeah, that guy really hurt us.
742
Well, but how about a compromise then, okay?
743
What if it's, you know, Chan -o -y?
744
Okay, look, Joey, come on, think about it.
745
First of all, he'll never be president.
746
I mean, there's never gonna be a President Joey.
747
All right, look, man, I don't want to bring this up, but Chandler is the stupidest name I've ever heard in my life

793
She gets really mad.
794
Oh, my God.
795
What is this?
796
It's like a guy never lived in here.
797
Look, you gotta be careful.
798
This girl thing is dangerous.
799
It's spreading already.
800
It is?
801
Yeah, is this your pretty pink pillow on the couch?
802
No. Is that your tiny little box that's too small to put anything in?
803
No. No. Okay, this is not good.
804
You are a guy, okay?
805
This is a guy's place.
806
If you let this go, you're gonna be sitting around with your fingers soaking and stuff.
807
All right, all right, you're right.
808
I'll talk to her.
809
Yes, talk to her.
810
Be a man.
811
I'm a man.
812
Defend yourself.
813
Taylor, come on, we have to hand the new dust ruffle.
814
Be right there, sweetums.
815
Totally different situation.
816
Hey, Joey.
817
Hey.
818
Uh, can I talk to you for a second?
819
There's a kid in this picture.
820
Do you, uh, you know this kid?
821
Is that, like, a relative or something?
822
No, I just thought it was cute.
823
Yeah, that's what I was afraid of.
824
Okay, uh...
825
Look, Janine, I really want you to feel at home here, but some of this new stuff, it's just, it's too girly.
826
Oh.
827
Like what?
828
Like this.
829
Pictures of cute babies we don't know?
830
You can't have that.
831
Joey, it's Ann Giddey.
832
She's a famous artist.
833
Look, I don't know this baby.
834
I don't know if she's a famous artist or not.
835
And I don't want to be a jerk, but you're changing too much around here.
836
I'm sorry.
837
I just thought I'd try and make the place a little nicer.
838
Yeah, but it's too much stuff.
839
You know, like you got the candles and the foofy schmoopher thing here.
840
And over here, you got a picture of a watering can.
841
Well, I just thought...
842
I'm sure it's a famous watering can, okay?
843
But, come on.
844
And what is with the really hot stick in the bathroom?
845
It's a curling iron.
846
Well, that's okay, then.
847
But, okay, my towels, for instance, okay?
848
I come into the bathroom here, and my towel is not on the floor where I keep it.
849
It's up here, on some hook.
850
And it smells different.
851
It's clean.
852
Yeah, but it feels different.
853
It's dry.
854
All right, I can make my piece with the clean, dry towels.
855
Okay, also, what is with these chips you bought?
856
No, no, no, it's potpourri.
857
You're supposed to smell it.
858
Well, that's like summer in a bowl.
859
So what's really neat is if you sear the stems of the flowers first in a frying pan, your arrangement will look fresh much longer.
860
Joey, that is such a great tip.
861
Monica, could you excuse us for a second?
862
I need to talk to the girl with the flowers.
863
Okay.
864
Oh, but Joey, come over later
865
because I'm going to teach you how to make a bird feeder out of just a pine cone and some peanut butter.
866
Aw, I love birds.
867
What is the matter with you?
868
What?
869
You're arranging flowers.
870
You got dead flowers.
871
You got a picture of a baby dressed like flowers.
872
This is not Joey.
873
Hey, hey, look, I am still Joey, okay?
874
Flowers, they're just, you know, they're nice to look at.
875
And that happens to be a picture by a famous artist of a famous baby.
876
You're turning into a woman.
877
no i'm not why would you say that that's just mean
878
now i've upset you what did i say not what you said it's just the way you said it
879

880
you know the sex of the baby oh do you want to know no no no no
881
i don't want to know absolutely not
882
No, I think, you know, I think you shouldn't know until you look down there and see...
883
Oh, there it is. Or isn't.
884
Oh, hello, Roz.
885
Susan. So? So, did you hear?
886

It's going to be...
893
Oh, hey, hey, ho, ho, hello.

See, a guy who doesn't want to know is standing right here.
895
Oh.
896
Oh, well, is it what we thought it would be?
897
Mm -hmm.
898
I can't believe you don't want to know.
899
I mean, I couldn't not know.
900
I mean, if the doctor knows and Carol knows and Susan knows...
901

902

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.
