Would you like to move over to the couch?

Mm-hmm.

Maybe I'll just turn down the lights a little?
18
How about all the way?
19
Okay.
20
Wow, cool poster.
21
Or should I say, groovy poster.
22
So, uh, where were we? Are those your teeth?
23
Oh, you can see them, huh?
24
Yes, they're insanely white.
25
I did that for you.
26
What's the matter with you?
27
What's the matter with me?
28
You've got a black light.
29
It's 1999.
30
Oh, my God.
31
The pages are stuck together.
32
Chandler!
33
Oh, my God.
34
She made half an English trifle and...

half a shepherd's pie.
36
Mm-hmm.
37
Mm.
38
Now, this is so good that I'm gonna go enjoy it on the balcony.
39
So I can enjoy the view whilst I enjoy my dessert.
40
I've gotta call my friend Mary and tell her how good this is for Monica's room.
41
I'll help you dial.
42
I'm gonna go into the bathroom
43
so I can look at it in the mirror as I eat it as I eat it.
44
Okay, now what was that all about?
45
Is it, does it not taste good?
46
Let me try it.
47
No, no, no, no. All gone. So good.
48
Maybe Chandler has some left.

It tastes like feet.
50
I like it. Are you kidding?

What's not to like?
52
Custard?

Good.
54
Jam?
55
Good.
56
Meat?

Good.
58
So a bird just grabbed it and then...
59
And then tried to fly away with it and...
60
And then just dropped it on the street?
61
Yes, but if it's any consolation, before the bird dropped it, he seemed to enjoy it.
62
Bye.
63
Hey, I hear that you and Joshua are going out to dinner with Ross and Emily, and I think that's really cool.
64
Yeah, Rach, I think you're handling that really well.
65
Handling it?
66
What do you mean handling it?
67
There's nothing to handle.
68
You know, maybe I would have a problem with this if it wasn't for me and Joshua.
69
You know, they're not gonna get married anyway.
70
What?
71
Come on.
72
They rushed into this thing so fast, it's ridiculous.
73
I mean, they're gonna be engaged for, like, what, a year?
74
And somewhere along the way, one of them is gonna realize what they've done, and they're gonna call the whole thing off.
75
I'm telling you, you're gonna be dancing at my wedding before you're dancing at theirs.
76
Yeah, well, I don't dance at weddings.
77
Why not?
78
Because weddings are a great place to meet women.
79
And when I dance, I look like this.
80
Hey, man.
81
Hey.
82
So, what are you guys doing four weeks from today?
83
Nothing.
84
Nothing.
85
I am...
86
free.
87
Great, because Emily and I are getting married in a month.
88
What?
89
Yep.
90
In a month?
91
Yeah.
92
You mean 30 days?
93
Yeah. From now?
94
Yeah.
95
That's great.
96
Yeah, it is, Rachel.
97
She and Phoebe took the stripper to the hospital.
98
Did you know Chandler kissed Rachel?
99
What?
100
When was this?
101
1987, the weekend you guys visited me at school.
102
Oh, my God, that's wild.
103
Yeah, but it was like a million years ago, so it doesn't matter.
104
Well, it matters to me.
105
Why?
106
Because the night you kissed Rachel was the night I kissed Rachel for the very first time.
107
You kissed her that night, too?
108
Two guys in one night?
109
Oh, I thought she became a slut after she got her nose fixed.
110
Seriously, where did this happen?
111
Okay, after you told me she was passed out in our room, I went in there to make sure she was all right.
112
She was lying on my bed, all buried in people's coats.
113
Well, I went to kiss her on the forehead, but it was so dark, I accidentally got her lips.
114
I started to pull away, but then I felt her start to kiss me back.
115
It was only for a second, but it was amazing.
116
And now, now I find out that you kissed her first.
117
Wait, what bed did you say she was on?
118
Mine.
119
I'm pretty sure I put her on my bed.
120
No, she was definitely on my bed.
121
Why would I kiss a girl and then put her on your bed?
122
Well, then who was on my bed?
123
Oh, oh, oh!
124
No, no, no!
125
You were under the pile of coats?
126
I was the pile of coats.
127
Oh my God!
128
You were my midnight mystery kisser!
129
You were my first kiss with Rachel?
130
You were my first kiss ever!
131
What did I marry into?
132
We're gonna split it.
133
You take half and I take half.
134
Well, that's not fair.
135
You've already had some.
136
We've already had some.
137
Oh, then, you know what?
138
I think Monica would be very interested to know that you called her cheesecake dry and mealy.
139
What do we use to split it?
140
Okay.
141
All right.
142
Pick a half.
143
Okay.
144
Well, this side looks bigger.
145
Uh, there's more crust on this side.
146
Yeah. So...
147
Maybe if I measure...
148
Oh, for God's sake, just pick a piece.
149
All right, pick that.
150
So the smaller piece.
151
Okay, there you go.
152
Enjoy your half, my friend, but that is it.
153
No sharing, no switching, and don't come crying to me if you eat your piece too fast.
154
Ah!
155
Oh!
156
Oh!
157
All right, you gonna give me some of your piece?
158
Oh, no, no. No switching, no sharing, and don't come crying to me.
159
I may just sit here and have my cake all day.
160
Just sit here in the hallway and eat my There's a piece of doesn't have floor on it stick to your side
161
All right, what are we having?
162
You took care of everything.
163
Thanks a lot, co-host.
164
What?
165
Take care of everything?
166
There's plenty of things for you to do.
167
Uh-huh, like what?
168
Cups.
169
Cups?
170
You're giving me cups? And ice?
171
Cups and ice?
172
Oh, I get to be in charge of cups and ice?
173
All right.
174
Fine, okay, I will be in charge of cups and ice.
175
Nice.
176
Wait a minute, I can get ice at the restaurant.
177
I got it, mine!
178
Hey, check it out.
179
A cup hat, a cup banner, a cup chandelier, and the thing that started it all, the cup.
180
Great job with the cups, Feebs.
181
Why don't you just go out with it?
182
And did you notice the ice?
183
Look, we have it all.
184
We have crushed, cubed, and dried, watched.
185
Ah.
186
Mystical.
187
Oh.
188
I don't want to...
189
No one's eating my Tuscan finger food because they're all filling up on Phoebe's snow cones.
190
There are snow cones?
191
Snow cones?
192
You know, go, go.
193
Thank you, thank you.
194
My god, these pants, I'm burning up!
195
Oh, come on, she wants to snuggle now?
196
What, is she trying to kill me?
197
It's like a volcano in here! Are you hot?
198
No. Okay, must just be me then.
199
That was just the pants on the couch.
200
Um, hey, do you mind if I use your bathroom?
201
Oh, go ahead.
202
Thanks.
203
Oh.
204
Oh.
205
Oh.
206
Oh.
207
Hey, my favorite part's coming up.
208
Okay.
209
Oh my God!
210
Hello?
211
Joey, it's Ross.
212
I need some help.
213
Uh, Chandler's not here.
214
Well, you can help me.
215
Okay.
216
Listen, I'm in Elizabeth's bathroom.
217
Nice.
218
No, I got really hot in my leather pants, so I took them off, but they must have shrunk from the sweat or something,
219
or my legs expanded from the heat.
220
But I can't get them back on, Joey.
221
I can't.
222
Oh, that is quite a situation.
223
Uh, do you see any, like, powder?
224
What's...powder, yeah, yeah, I have powder.
225
Good, good, okay.
226
Sprinkle some of that on your legs.
227
It'll absorb some of the moisture, and then you can get your pants back on.
228
Yeah, hold on.
229
You're not coming on, man.
230
Um, you see any, uh, oh, Vaseline.
231
Oh, I...
232
I see lotion.
233
I have lotion.
234
Will that work?
235
Yeah, sure.
236
Throw some of that on there.
237
Hold on.
238
Uh...
239
Ross, you okay?
240
There's still, there's still not coming on, man, and the lotion and the powder have made a paste.
241
Really?
242
Uh, what color is it?
243
What difference does that make?
244
Well, I'm just, if the paste matches the pants, you can make yourself a pair of paste pants and you won't have the difference.
245
Joey, do you have a minute?
246
Dude, what am I...
247
Rachel's here, so good luck, man.
248
Let me know how it works out.
249
Oh, Joey, I have such a problem.
250
Well, your timing couldn't be better.
251
I am putting out fires all over the place today.
252
Ross, um, you've been in there for a long time.
253
I'm starting to get kind of freaked out.
254
All right, I'm coming out.
255
Hey, can you turn the lights off?
256
No, let's just leave the lights on.
257
Oh, my fault.
258
I had a problem.
259
I took the quiz, and it turns out I do put career before men.
260
Get up.
261
What?
262
Near my seat.
263
How is this your seat?
264
Because I was sitting there.
265
But then you left.
266
Well, it's not like I went to Spain.
267
I went to the bathroom.
268
You knew I was coming back.
269
What's the big deal?
270
Sit somewhere else.
271
The big deal is I was sitting there last, so it's my seat.
272
Well, actually, the last place you were sitting was in there, so...
273
You guys, you know what?
274
You know what?
275
It doesn't matter, because you both have to go get dressed before the big vein in my head pops, so...
276
All right, Ross, I just have to do one thing really quickly.
277
It's not a big deal.
278
Get up!
279
All right, fine.
280
You know what?
281
We'll both sit in the chair.
282
Fine with me.
283
I am so comfortable.
284
Me too.
285
In fact, I think I might be a little too comfortable.
286
All right.
287
Okay, look, we have 19 minutes, okay?
288
Chandler, I want you to go and change, okay?
289
And then when you come back, Joey will go change, and he'll have vacated the chair, okay?
290
Okay.
291
All right, fine.
292
I'm going.
293
When I get back, it's chair city.
294
And I'm the guy who's sitting in a chair.
295
All right, you will notice that I am fully dressed.
296
I, in turn, have noticed that you are not.
297
So, in the words of A.A.
298
Milne, get out of my chair, dill hole.
299
Okay.
300
What are you doing?
301
Well, you said I had to give you the chair.
302
You didn't see anything about the cushions.
303
The cushions are the essence of the chair.
304
That's right.
305
I'm taking the essence.
306
Oh, he'll be back.
307
Oh, there's nobody in the room.
308
Where's my underwear?
309
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
310
Come on, come on, what?
311
You took his underwear?
312
He took my essence.
313
Okay, hold on.
314
Joey, why can't you just wear the underwear you're wearing now?
315
Because I'm not wearing any underwear now.
316
Okay, um, then why do you have to wear underwear tonight?
317
It's a rented tux, okay?
318
Not gonna go commando in another man's fatigue.
319
Well, then it looks like somebody's gonna have to give somebody back his cushions.
320
Okay.
321
You hide my clothes?
322
I'm gonna do the exact opposite to you.
323
What?
324
What are you...
325
What, are you gonna show me my clothes?
326
Hey, opposite... is opposite.
327
He's got nothing!
328
Okay, buddy boy, here it is.
329
You hide my clothes, I'm wearing everything you want.
330
Oh my God!
331
That is so not the opposite of taking somebody's underwear!
332
Look at me!
333
I'm Chandler!
334
Could I be wearing any more clothes?
335
Maybe if I wasn't going commando...
336
I'll tell you, it's hot with all this stuff on.
337
I better not do any, I don't know, lunges.
338
I'm gonna stop you right there, Glenda.
339
Does it look like this is my first time?
340
Now I want four twos, and I want them all on my back.
341
Okay.
342
Wait a minute.
343
There's two sets of nozzles.
344
Which one is it?
345
Which, which, which, which one is it?
346
Oh, son of a bitch!
347
Dude, it's Chandler.
348
Let me in.
349
Go away.
350
I don't want to see anybody.
351
I know.
352
I went to the tanning place, Same thing happened to me.
353
You have to let me in.
354
Really? Did you count Mississipally?
355
You're not tan?
356
No. I just had to get a picture of this.
357
I'll see you later.
358
Pass the cheese, please.
359
My god, you can't even look at me, can you?
360
No. Hey, it's Phoebe!
361
We can talk to Phoebe!
362
No, I'm too depressed to talk.
363
I'll give you $1,000 to talk to us.
364
Hey, you guys, what do you think about making that beach trip an annual thing?
365
No!
366
All right, that's it, you guys.
367
What happened out there?
368
What?
369
We took a walk.
370
Nothing happened.
371
I came back, but nothing all over me.
372
Come on, what happened?
373
Joey.
374
All right.
375
No!
376
Joey, we swore we'd never tell.
377
They'll never understand.
378
We have to say something.
379
We have to get it out.
380
It's eating me alive.
381
Monica got stung by a jellyfish.
382
All right.
383
All right.
384
I got stung.
385
Stung bad.
386
I couldn't stand.
387
I...
388
I couldn't walk.
389
We were two miles from the house.
390
We were scared and alone.
391
We didn't think we could make it.
392
I was in too much pain.
393
And I was tired from digging the huge hole.
394
And then Joey remembered something.
395
I'd seen this thing on the Discovery Channel.
396
Wait a minute.
397
I saw that on the Discovery Channel.
398
Yeah, about jellyfish and how if you...
399
Ew.
400
You peed on yourself?
401
Ew.
402
You can't say that.
403
You don't know.
404
I mean, I thought I was gonna pass out from the pain.
405
Anyway, I tried, but I couldn't bend that way. So?
406
No!
407
That's right, I stepped up.
408
She's my friend, and she needed help.
409
If I had to, I'd pee on any one of you.
410
Only, uh, I couldn't.
411
I got the stage fright.
412
I wanted to help, but there was just too much pressure, so, so I, uh, I turned to Chandler.
413
Woo-hoo!
414
Joy kept screaming at me, do it now, do it, do it, do it now!
415
Sometimes late at night I can still hear the screaming.
416
That's because sometimes I just do it through my wall to freak you out.
417
I'm trying my shoes, so you go ahead.
418
I'll catch up.
419
Okay, okay.
420
Come on!
421
Let's start running!
422
Let's go!
423
You guys, I'm telling you, when she runs, she looks like a cross between Kermit the Frog and the six million dollar man.
424
Monica had such a crush on him that she used to kiss his poster every night before she went to bed.
425
Oh, I used to do that too.
426
Did you also have his album, It's Not Easy Being Green?
427
Oh, my.
428
So, Phoebe runs weird, huh?
429
Yeah, yeah, you know what?
430
And I know she's gonna wanna run again.
431
I just don't know how to get out of it.
432
I mean, I live with her.
433
Why don't you just be straight with her?
434
Tell her the truth.
435
You're right.
436
You're right.
437
I should just tell her the truth.
438
Hey.
439
Hey.
440
Hey.
441
Hey, Phoebe, Monica tripped me.
442
I don't think I can ever run again.
443
Ever.
444
Why?
445
Why would you do that?
446
I don't know.
447
Rachel, I'm sorry that I hurt your ankles.
448
Ankle?
449
We'll see.
450
Hi!
451
Oh, yeah, it's me.
452
I saw you grab your running shoes this morning and sneak out.
453
You lied so you could run by yourself.
454
No, no, no, Phoebe, no, I was, no, you know what?
455
I was, I was actually just checking to see if I could run, and I can.
456
Please, Rachel, I am not an idiot.
457
No, wait, Phoebe.
458
Hey, Phoebe, can I talk to you for a second?
459
Sure.
460
Okay, um, I...
461
Phoebe, look, I just wanted to say that I'm sorry, okay?
462
I handled the situation horribly, and I should not have lied to you.
463
So what should you have done?
464
Well, I should have told you the truth.
465
Uh-huh, which is?
466
Well, you know, the reason that I didn't want to go running with you is because,
467
um, well, you know, the way that you run is just a little... So?
468
Well, it's embarrassing.
469
People were looking at us like we were crazy.
470
Why do you care?
471
Because they're people.
472
But people that you don't know and will never see again.
473
Yes, but still they are people with eyes.
474
Well, I didn't get embarrassed running next to Miss. But oh, OK.
475
No, no, I can see why running with me would be embarrassing to you.
476
Yeah, OK.
477
You're uptight.
478
Well, I am not uptight.
479
Listen, I am not uptight, man.
480
That's okay, Rachel.
481
I'm not judging you.
482
That's just who you are.
483
Me, I'm more free.
484
You know, I run like I did when I was a kid.
485
Because that's the only way it's fun.
486
You know?
487
I mean, didn't you ever run so fast you thought your legs were gonna fall off?
488
You know, like when you were, like, running toward the swings or running away from Satan?
489
The neighbor's dog.
490
Shh.
491
Shh.
492
Shh.
493
Hey!
494
Hey!
495
Hey!
496
Hey!
497
Oh, please.
498
I'm so sorry.
499
You were right.
500
This feels great.
501
See?
502
And you don't care if people are staring.
503
It's just for a second, because then you're gone.
504
You're gone?
505
I mean, it's amazing, please.
506
I feel so free and so graceful.
507
Ah!
508
Hey, look out for the horse.
509
We should all get dressed up and go to have champagne at the plaza.
510
Oh, OK.
511
Yeah.
512
But I can't stay too long.
513
I've got to get up early for a commercial audition tomorrow, and I've got to look good.
514
I'm supposed to be playing a 19-year-old.
515
What so when you said get up early did you mean 1986?
516
That's not think I look 19 19 we thought you said 90 Sup.
517
Sup, dude.
518
Take whatever you want.
519
Just please don't hurt me.
520
So you play a little PlayStation, huh?
521
That's whack.
522
PlayStation.. is whack.
523
Sup with the whack PlayStation sup with the WAC PlayStation Sop.
524
Huh?
525
Come on, am I 19 or what?
526
Yes.
527
On a scale from one to ten, ten being the dumbest a person can look, you are definitely 19.
528
Come on, man, really.
529
How old?
530
Young.
531
You're a man-child.
532
Okay?
533

537
Yes, you can pass for 19.
538
Really?
539
Yes.
540
Seriously.
541
Seriously?
542
Seriously, no. Okay?
543
You can play your own age, which is 31.
544
I'm 30.
545
Joey, you are not.
546
You're 31.
547

And the moment of joy is upon us.
557
Looks like that nose-date-pack thing worked out.
558
Everybody looks so happy.
559
I hate that.
560
Not everybody's happy.
561
Hey, Bobby!
562
One, happy new year!
563
You know, I thought I'd throw this out here.
564
I'm no math whiz, but I do believe there are three girls and three guys right here.
565
I don't feel like kissing anyone.
566
I can't kiss anyone.
567
So I'm kissing everyone?
568
No, no, no. You can't kiss Ross.

I love you.
579
Pete, you know what I'm thinking?
580
Oh, OK.
581
Hal, it's been so long since you've had sex, you're wondering if they've changed it?
582
No, although now that's what I'm thinking.
583
All right, so what were you thinking?
584
Well, I was thinking that you gave the guy such great haircuts, I thought maybe you'd like to do mine.
585
Oh, no. Why not?
586
Because I'm just...
587
I'm incredibly anal and an unbelievable control freak.
588
No, you're not.
589
I know I'm not, but you are.
590
I was trying to spare your feelings.
591
You know, it's funny, the last time Paula was here, my hair was so much shorter and cuter.
592
All right.
593
Okay.
594
But, but, you have to promise that you will not be all, like, controlly and bossy and all, you know, Monica about it.
595
I promise.
596
All right, let's see.
597
Now, some of you are gonna get cut, and some of you aren't.
598
But I promise none of you will feel a thing.
599
All right, that's it.
600
I quit.
601
What?
602
I didn't say anything.
603
Yeah, but this isn't the face of a person who trusts a person, okay?
604
This is the face of a person who, you know, doesn't trust a person.
605
I'm sorry.
606
Sorry, Phoebe.
607
It's just, well, just a little shorter than what we had discussed.
608
Would you relax?
609
I know what I am doing.
610
This is how he wears it.
611
How who wears it?
612
Demi Moore.
613
Demi Moore is not a he.
614
Well, he was a he in Arthur and in Den.
615
That's Dudley Moore.
616
I said I wanted it like Demi Moore.
617
Oh.
618
Oh!
619
Oh, my God!
620
Oh, my God!
621
Oh, my God, I'm sorry!
622
I'm sorry!
623
I'm sorry!
624
Which one is Demi Moore?
625
She's the actress that was in Disclosure, in Decent Proposal, Ghost!
626
Oh, oh, she's got gorgeous hair.
627
Oh, my God!
628
Oh, my God!
629
How is she?
630
It's too soon to tell.
631
She's resting, which is a good sign.
632
How's the hair?
633
I'm not gonna lie to you, Ross.
634
It doesn't look good.
635
I put a clip on one side, which seems to have stopped the curling.
636
Well, can we see you?
637
Your hair looks too good.
638
I think it would upset her.
639
Ross, why don't you come on in?
640
Yeah.
641
Hi.
642
Hi.
643
So, which one of your lucky boys is Chandler?
644
Uh, that's me.
645
That's me.
646
Joey Tribbiani.
647
Big fan.
648
So, is that a bedroom?
649
Yeah, yeah, right over there.
650
All right, whenever you're ready. That was weird.
651
Why would she go in the bedroom?
652
I'm waiting. So she's a...
653
Yep, that's one naked hooker.
654
So, tonight's the night of the big bachelor party?
655
Yeah, hey, thanks for giving me that girl's number.
656
No problem.
657
So, who's the party for?
658
My husband.
659
You hired your husband a hooker?
660
She's a stripper.
661
No, she's a hooker.
662
Is that what they call strippers sometimes?
663
When they're hookers.
664
Oh, my God, Stu!
665
I can't believe you did this!
666
Are you absolutely sure she's a hooker?
667
It's either that or she's just the best, most expensive date I ever had.
668
All right, all right.
669
Maybe you should just ask her to leave.
670
Why me?
671
Hey, it's your bachelor part.
672
Which is why you should do it.
673
I don't want to.
674
You do it.
675
You do it.
676
You do it.
677
All right, rock, paper, scissor for who has to tell the whore to leave.
678
What?
679
I miss this.
680
I don't think we've actually done this before.
681
No, no, no. No, I miss hanging out with you.
682
Well, we still hang out.
683
Not like we used to.
684
Remember, you and me used to be inseparable.
685
Now it's like things are different.
686
Well, you know, things are different.
687
I'm married now.
688
Yeah, sure.
689
And hey, don't get me wrong.
690
I am so happy for you guys.
691
But I just...
692
I miss hanging out.
693
Just.. just us.
694
You know?
695
Yeah, I miss that too.
696
I'll tell you what.
697
For now and when we'll make time to hang out with each other.
698
You got it.
699
Come here.
700
Oh, God.
701
Listen, I am this close to robbing you guys.
702
She's a hooker!
703
She's a hooker!
704
She's a...
705
Hi.
706
We spoke on the phone?
707
What?
708
Nothing, nothing.
709
Just your overcoat sounds remarkably like Brent Musburger.
710
Check it out.
711
Giants, Cowboys.
712
You're watching a football game at a funeral?
713
No, it's the pregame.
714
I'm gonna watch it at the reception.
715
You are a frightening, frightening man.
716
Oh, no!
717
My new Paolo shoes.
718
Oh, I hope they're not ruined.
719
You okay?
720
God, what a great day.
721
What?
722
Weather-wise.
723
I know, you...
724
The air, the trees.
725
Even though Nana's gone, there's something almost, uh, I don't know, almost like...
726
Oh!
727
What are you doing?
728
I'm fine.
729
I'm fine.
730
Just, just having my worst fear realized, but... And done.
731
Oh, my God.
732
I didn't feel a thing.
733
Hey, are you still looking for a job?
734
Because you could tweeze circles around that sadistic bitch at the salon.
735
Thanks.
736
You want to see what it looks like?
737
Yeah, yeah.
738
Hey!
739
They totally match.
740
They look great.
741
You look great.
742
How you doing?
743
Yeah, yeah, I think it looks pretty good.
744
I was a little bit worried that I was, uh, uncovering a birthmark right about there, but it turned out to be a little piece of chocolate.
745
Hmm.
746
Oh, hey, Chandler, thank you so much.
747
No problem.
748
Listen, uh, that was a pretty girly hour we just spent.
749
We should probably do something manly to make up for it.
750
Yeah.
751
Cool my eyelash.
752
Yeah.
753
We hope you enjoyed your stay.
754
Oh, we did.
755
And you still have all your lamps.
756
I didn't factor in the room tax.
757
Oh, dude, don't worry about it.
758
I found an unattended maid's car.
759
We're way ahead of the game.
760
Oh, my God.
761
What?
762
There's something new in the bowl.
763
Look, we have enough.
764
Just walk away.
765
No, but I want the pine cones.
766
There's a forest right outside.
767
It's not the same.
768
Okay, go quick.
769
Oh, go!
770
Thank you for a delightful stay.
771
My maple candy!
772
So, I just talked to one of the Duel writers today and...
773
What is Duel?
774
Days of Our Lives.
775
Anyway, you're not gonna believe it.
776
My character is coming out of his coma.
777
Oh, yeah!
778
And not only that, I'm getting a new brain.
779
So great things are happening at work and in your personal life.
780
Wait, what do you mean you're getting a new brain?
781
Well, they're killing off one of the characters on the show, and when she dies, her brain is being transplanted into my body.
782
What?
783
A brain transplant?
784
It's ridiculous.
785
Oh, I think it's ridiculous that you haven't had sex in three and a half months.
786
It's winter.
787
There are fewer people on the street.
788
Who are they killing off?
789
Cecilia Monroe.
790
She plays Jessica Lockhart.
791
No!
792
No!
793
She is so good at throwing drinks in people's faces.
794
I mean, I don't think I've ever seen her finish a beverage.
795
And the way she slaps people all the time.
796
Wouldn't you love to do that just once?
797
Don't do it.
798
Man, she's been on the show forever.
799
It's gonna be really hard to fill her shoes.
800
Yeah, yeah, well, help me out here.
801
When you, when you come out of the brain transplant, you are going to be her?
802
Yes, but in Drake Remore's body.
803
Why is it so hard for you to get?
804
I thought you were a scientist.
805
Did you see Monica?
806
Actually, I think she went to the salon.
807
Oh, yeah.
808
Oh, she went to the salon?
809
All right.
810
Check it out!
811
Whose date just got better?
812
Chandler!
813
Hey!
814
Ah!
815
What do you think?
816
I think...
817
I think I can see your scalp.
818
Don't you just love it?
819
Yeah, yeah, you got shellfish in your head.
820
It's, uh, something.
821
You go, girlfriend.
822
You never said that in your life, have you?
823
Not once.
824
I thought so.
825
Oh, and listen to this.
826
What do you know?
827
It's a treat for the eyes and the ears.
828
Oh, I can't wait for everyone at work to see these.
829
Ow!
830
You go back to work tomorrow night, right?
831
Yeah.
832
So if you want people to see them, then by definition, you're not having them taken out, say, at the break of dawn?
833
Well, if I had them taken out, then I wouldn't be able to do this.
834
You like that, right?
835
Dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun!
836
What are you singing?
837
It's Valero from Tin.
838
It's Ride of the Valkyries from Apocalypse Now.
839
See, here's the thing.
840
The cornrows were really a solution to your frizzy hair problem.
841
And now that we're home, you don't have that problem anymore.
842
So if you think about it, I hate them.
843
What?
844
You said you liked them. Did I?
845
Let's refresh.
846
I believe what I said was that I could see your scalp.
847
Well, fine, so you don't like them.
848
Everybody else does.
849
Again, let's journey back.
850
As I recall, what Rachel said was she had never noticed the shape of your skull before. And Joey...
851
Well, Joey didn't realize it was anything different.
852
You know what?
853
I don't care.
854
I like it like this, and I'm gonna keep it.
855
You're just jealous because your hair can't do this.
856
Get yourself in the tooth?
857
And the eyes!
858
Honey, you've been in there for a long time.
859
Is everything okay?
860
Not really.
861
I have a problem.
862
Really?
863
What happened?
864
Well, I was dancing around and singing No Woman No Cry.
865
And, uh, I got stuck.
866
You can't move at all?
867
Oh, I can move.
868
If I untangle you, will you please get rid of the cornrows?
869
I guess so.
870
Some of these look a little frayed.
871
Yeah, I tried to gnaw myself free.
872
You got to pick a pocket or two,
873
Boys, you've got to pick a pocketbook too.
874
Lovely.
875
Just lovely.
876
Really?
877
Thanks.
878
Listen, Joey, we definitely want to see you for the callback on Saturday.
879
Excellent.
880
I'll be there.
881
Okay.
882
And listen, don't forget to bring your jazz shoes for the dance audition.
883
Uh-huh.
884
My, uh, my agent said that it wasn't a dancing part.
885
Oh, Joey, all the roles gotta dance a little.
886
But believe me, with your dance background, it'll be a piece of cake.
887
Three years of modern dance with Twyla Tharp.
888
Five years with the American Ballet Theater.
889
Hey, everybody lies on their resume, okay?
890
I wasn't one of the Zoom kids, either.
891
Can you, like, dance at all?
892
Yeah, I can dance, you know.
893
Oh, no, no, no, no. What is that?
894
Sure, it looks stupid now.
895
There's no music playing.
896
Uh, Joey?
897
Joey Tribbiani?
898
Listen, Joey, I got a problem.
899
I just got a call from my dance captain.
900
He's having a relationship crisis and can't get out of Long Island.
901
So does that mean the audition's off?
902
Listen, Joey, seeing as you've got the most experience, I want you to take these dancers and teach them the combination.
903
What?
904
Oh Joey come on it's easy you know it's hand hand
905
head head up pot of a ray a bit turn here ronda Jean slide step step and yes
906

907
No, no, no. What was that?
908
I know.
909
It's the best I could get out of them.
910
Well, people.
911
People, people, people.
912
Let's try it again.
913
And this time, let's everybody watch Joey.
914
Show them how it's done.
915
Count it off, Black.
916
Hey, Ross, didn't you say that there was an elevator in here?
917
Uh, yes, I did, but there isn't.
918
Okay, here we go.
919
Okay.

Any chance you think the couch looks good there?
942
Hey, Joe.
943
What's up?
944
Bad news.
945
I watched the tape and passed it along to my bosses, and they weren't interested.
946
Oh.
947
Sorry, man.
948
But, uh, you watched the tape?
949
Yeah, I-I-I liked it.

951
Stupid sons of bitches!
952
You didn't watch the tape.
953
What?
954

958
Well, you lied again.
959
I watched it.

964
Did you watch the tape?
965
No. I can't believe Joey.
966
I hate being called a liar.
967
But you are a liar.
968
What did I just say?
969
You still here?
970
Yes, and I have to say, I am not just hurt.

When I tell somebody I did something.

| Conditional sentences if + clause, will/would + verb — a condition and its result | If I had to, I'd pee · If I untangle you, will you |
| Present perfect have/has + past participle — a past action that still matters now | I've had · they've done · You've already had |

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.
