Ross, please, trust me.
558
I buy 30 fashion magazines a month.
559
Now, I don't know who's running for president or who that NATO guy is, but I do know that you have to get as far away as you can from that hat.
560
Damn it.
561
I have this date tomorrow night, and I have to look cool.
562
Well, you know, if you want fashion help, Rachel and I are going shopping tomorrow.
563
You're more than welcome to come with us, right?
564
Really?
565
That would be great.
566
I mean, I have to do something.
567
She kind of teased me about how I dress.
568
I can see why.
569
Nice shirt.
570
You're wearing the same shirt.
571
Stupid gap on every corner Wow, this place is awesome You know what,

577
Look at this sweater.
578
I mean, this is just beautiful.
579
Wow.
580
This is really soft.
581
$350?
582
Down from $700?
583
You're saving, like, $200.
584
Both logic and math are taking a serious hit today.
585
Hey, check this out.
586
It's totally you.
587
Wow.
588
Yeah.
589
Oh, actually, this looks pretty good.

I'm getting out of here.
597
No, no, no, Russ, wait.
598

600
There's other stuff.
601
Here's some nice shirts.
602
Look at these nice pants.
603
Huh.
604
Actually, these might look pretty good on me.
605
Yes, they will.
606
You know what you should do?
607
Just go take a walk, all right?
608
I know your size, and I'm gonna pick out some really good stuff for you.
609
Really?
610
Yes, and I know what looks sexy on guys.
611
Please, just wear what I suggest, and she is gonna go nuts for you.
612
So you're saying, uh, if I wear these pants, I might be getting into hers?
613
Why do men keep talking to me like this?
614
Some really great stuff.
615
Yeah.
616
Yeah, but I'm not sure about some of the bras I got.
617
Oh, really?
618
Do you want to try some of them on for me?
619
Oh, okay.
620
Wait, are we in Joey's imagination?
621
Oh, no. I took one of Ross' bags by mistake.
622
And one of mine is missing.
623
Oh, well, Ross probably has it.
624
You can get it from him later. So?
625
What do you think?
626
I think we're not wearing the same shirt anymore.
627
Yeah, yeah, Rachel picked it out for me.
628
She told me to trust her, and you know what?
629
I'm glad I did.
630
I turned quite a few heads on my way over here.
631
Dude, I really don't think you should be wearing that.
632
Oh, I see.
633
Somebody's afraid of a little competition with the ladies.
634
Looks like someone is the ladies.
635
You're just jealous because you couldn't pull this off.
636
Yeah.
637
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a date.
638
See?
639
All eyes on me.
640
Wow, this place looks great.
641
Oh, you are going to love it.
642
And I'm so glad we're finally doing this.
643
Me too.
644
Here. So this was fun.
645
Let me tell you about a couple things I learned while working at the coffee house.
646
Um, first of all, the customer is always right.
647
A smile goes a long way.
648
And if anyone is ever rude to you, sneeze muffin.
649
Thanks, Rach.
650
Hey, you guys are just terrific, you know?
651
Now how about clearing out of here so I can get some new customers, huh?
652
It's all about turnover.
653
Joey, seriously, can I get my coffee?
654
I'm sorry, Ross.
655
I'll get it for you right now.
656
And since I made you wait, I'll toss in a free muffin.
657
What's with all this sand?
658
Uh, yeah, Bob said there might be flood damage.
659
Either that or he has a really big cat.
660
Well, is everybody else having just the best time?
661
Shh, Joey's asleep.
662
After he passed out, we put the sand around him to keep him warm.
663
Well, I assume the, uh, happy couple isn't up yet.
664
Did you guys hear them last night?
665
Oh, yeah.
666
I don't know what they were doing, but at one point, sea turtles actually came up to the house.
667
Good morning.
668
Hey.
669
Hi.
670
Hey.
671
How'd everybody sleep?
672
Oh, great.
673
Like a lot.
674
Us too.
675
I'm going for a walk.
676
Good morning.
677
Nice breaths, by the way.
678
I definitely taste nutmeg.
679
You do?
680
you don't well that's the difference between a professional and a layman that and arrogance
681
hey hey how's sailing i don't want to talk about it
682
you know you could at least save me a whole cookie no no no women are mean
683
i can't believe that now the only thing that's left of my grandmother's legacy is this crumb
684
i wish you a long and happy marriage here's batch 22.
685
maybe these will taste like your grandmother's this has a little bit of orange peel
686
but no nutmeg let's give it a shot okay well i've
687
not made this many cookies since i was in the ninth great what was
688
that for like a bake sale no just a friday night
689
oh these are pretty good yeah but not as good as batch 17.
690
which one was
691
that the ones we had right after you almost threw up
692
oh yeah batch 17 was good i did not like batch 16.
693
i'm okay Are there any more from the good batch?
694
Because we could just work off of those.
695
Well, yeah, I think there's one from batch 17 left.
696
Batch 16.
697
16, people, get out of the way.
698
I would actually make my grandma really happy to know that we're trying to figure out her recipe.
699
I bet she's looking up at us and smiling right now.
700
Looking up?
701
Oh, yeah.
702
No, she was really nice to me, but she's in hell for sure.
703
Well, I've tried everything.
704
I give up.
705
I guess I'm not gonna be the mom who makes the world's best chocolate chip cookies.
706
I do make the best duck confit with broccoli rabe.
707
Kids love that, right?
708
Oh, Phoebe, come on.
709
Isn't there any relative that would have the recipe?
710
What about your sister?
711
Oh, no, no, no. I made a promise to myself that the next time I would talk to Ursula is over my dead body.
712
And that's not happening till October 15th, 2032.
713
That's the day you're gonna die?
714
See?
715
Darn it.
716
I've got shuffleboard that day.
717
That's what you think.
718
Well, I mean, what about friends of your grandmother's?
719
Wouldn't they have the recipe?
720
Well, you know, I may have relatives in France who would know.
721
My grandmother said She got the recipe from her grandmother, Nestlé Toulouse.
722
What was her name?
723
Nestlé Toulouse.
724
Nestlé Toll House?
725
You Americans always butcher the French language.
726
Phoebe, is this the recipe?
727
Yes!
728
Oh.
729
I cannot believe that I just spent the last two days trying to figure out that recipe, and it was in my cupboard the whole time.
730
I know.
731
You see, it is stuff like this, which is why you're burning it now.
732
What have I not told you?
733
Oh, I don't know.
734
Um, how about the fact
735
that the underwear out there on the telephone pole is yours from
736
when you were having sex with fun Bobby out on the terrace?
737
What?
738
Hey, baby.
739

740

744
Whip it out.
745
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
746
Come on.
747
There's nothing to see.
748
It's just a tiny bump.
749
It's totally useless.
750
Oh, as opposed to your other multifunctional nipples.
751
I can't believe you.
752
You told me it was a nubbin'.
753
Joey, what do you think a nubbin' was?
754
I don't know.
755
You see something, you hear a word.
756
I thought that's what it was.
757
I think the check -in is that way.
758
Ah.
759
Yay!
760
Oh, kids love me.
761

787
But believe me, with your dance background, it'll be a piece of cake.
788
Three years of modern dance with Twyla Tharp.

Five years with the American Ballet Theater.

796
I just got a call from my dance captain.
797
He's having a relationship crisis and can't get out of Long Island.
798
So does that mean the audition's off?
799
Listen, Joey, seeing as you've got the most experience, I want you to take these dances and teach them the combination.

823
Phoebe, you can't get out of this.
824
You have to learn how to ride a bike.
825
Why?
826
Why do I have to learn?
827
Well, in case of an emergency.
828
What kind of emergency?
829
Well, what if a man comes along and puts a gun to your head and says, you ride this bike
830
or i'll i'll shoot you okay i would ring the bell to distract him
831
and then i would knock the gun out of his hand
832

If you are not going to learn how to ride this bike, then I'm sorry.
868
I'm just going to have to take it back.
869
What?
870
Why? Because. Because.
871
It's...
872
It'd be like you having this guitar and never playing it, okay?
873
This guitar wants to be played, and this bike wants to be ridden, and if you don't ride it, you...
874
killing its spirit the bike is dying
875
all right if you care enough to make up that load of crap okay great great
876

877
today we're gonna start with some songs about barnyard animals
878
oh the cow in the middle goes moo oh the cow
879
in the middle goes moo then the farmer hits him on the head
880
and grinds him up and that's how we get hamburgers about chicken
881
and done oh my god i didn't feel the thing hey are you still looking for a job
882
because you could tweeze circles around that sadistic bitch at the salon
883
thanks you want to see what it looks like yeah yeah hey they totally match they look great You look great.
884
How are you doing?
885
Yeah, yeah, I think it looks pretty good.
886
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.
887
Well, hey, Chandler, thank you so much.
888
No problem.
889
Listen, uh, that was a pretty girly hour we just spent.
890
We should probably do something manly to make up for it.
891
Yeah.
892
Curl my eyelash.
893
Yeah.
894
I didn't know about vomit. In a minute.
895
So, what do you say, Joey?
896
You get the whole set of encyclopedias for $1 ,200.
897
That works out to just 50 bucks a book.
898
$1 ,200?
899
You think I have $1 ,200?
900
I'm home in the middle of the day, and I got patio furniture in my living room.
901
I guess there's a few things you don't get from book learning.
902
Well, uh, what can you swing?
903
How about zero down and zero a month for a long, long time?
904
You don't have anything.
905
You want to see what I got?
906
Okay.
907
I got a baby Tootsie Roll, a movie stub, keys, a Kleenex,
908
a rock, and an army man.
909
Hey.
910
Okay, I get the picture.
911
Thanks for your time.
912
And a 50.
913
Huh, these must be Chandler's pants.
914
For 50 bucks, you can get one book.
915
What'll it be?
916
A, B, C?
917
I think I'm gonna stick with the V.
918
I wanna see how this bad boy turns out.
919
So, did you break up with Joanna?
920
I think so.
921
Now, it's a good thing you got out when you did, before she blew up like that Vesuvius.
922
The volcano?
923
Yeah.
924
And speaking of volcanoes, man, are they a violent, igneous rock formation.
925
What?
926
Oh, yeah.
927
Lava spewing, hot ash.
928
Of course, some are dormant.
929
Uh, well, why are you talking about volcanoes all of a sudden?
930
Well, we can talk about something else.
931
What do you want to talk about?
932
Vivisection?
933
The vast difference?
934
The Vietnam War?
935
Oh, did anybody see that documentary on the Korean War?
936
Oh, yeah.
937
Oh, Korea is such a beautiful country.
938
With such a sad history.
939
Yeah.
940

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.
