704 "TOW Rachel's Assistant"

We begin with Joey & his friends watching "Mac & CHEESE", but sadly the show stinks. Once Rachel, Monica & Ross grab the best excuses, Phoebe is left with nothing to tell Joey - so she takes a deep breath, and presses her breasts up against him!

Joey's eyes light up; and he's just as delighted when "Days of Our Lives" suggest he comes back as Drake Ramoray's twin brother, Stryker. But when he arrives at the production offices he is offended to discover that he must audition - and foolishly he flings the job in the producer's face, and storms out on the grounds that he already has a TV series.

Inevitably "Mac & CHEESE" is cancelled, and Joey is devastated. Unable to find any words of comfort, both Phoebe *and* Rachel press their breasts up against him, with Rachel grabbing the front, leaving Phoebe with the back!

Phoebe makes Joey crawl back to "Days of Our Lives" to beg for the part, but Stryker Ramoray has already been cast. Yet when filming begins, he treats a man who's been in a coma for five years, and when filming ends, Joey removes his fake bandages - he's back as Drake Ramoray!

                             ---o0o---

Ralph Lauren promotes Rachel to the position of Merchandising Manager for Polo Retail, at last giving her the office of her own that was so cruelly snatched away three years before. And not only does she get a big pay rise, but she can hire her own assistant.

The most suitable candidate is Hilda, an older woman with experience & good references, but Rachel foolishly exposes herself by revealing that she's never had anyone work for her before, apart from a maid when she was a kid. In the murky world of office politics this is a bad move...

Fortunately the other candidate is a young man named Tag Jones, who is so pretty that Rachel wants to cry. He doesn't have any experience, but that means he's no threat to Rachel, and he says he is goal-oriented & eager to learn.

When Rachel asks what to do, Phoebe gives her morally right but actually poor advice by telling her to choose experience over cuteness - but when she sees Rachel's photograph of Tag, Phoebe's very attracted to him, and even Chandler wows (then begs them not to tell Monica).

Rachel dutifully takes Phoebe's advice to hire Hilda, but when Tag comes to bring her a plot plant she is overcome with lust, and hires him. In a very smart move, she tells Tag that his first job is to fire Hilda!

Phoebe pops into Rachel's office to check her out, and is not surprised to find Tag there - in fact the pair immediately begin flirting! Rachel's response is typical, for she takes Phoebe aside and lies to her that Tag is gay. Even though she cannot get involved with her assistant, she is not going to let anyone else have him either.

Later, a suspicious Tag confronts Rachel with the news that other guys in the office are asking him out, so she feigns innocence be pretending she thought he was gay. But then Tag reveals that he wants to ask Phoebe out, and Rachel goes too far by telling him that Phoebe is gay...

                             ---o0o---

Chandler is intrigued to see Monica & Phoebe whispering, but his fianc�e refuses to divulge the secret - unless he tells her what upset Ross on a trip to Disneyland in his junior year of college. After Chandler reveals that Ross ate some bad tacos, and then shat his pants on Space Mountain, Phoebe's secret turns out to be so trivial that Chandler feels betrayed.

Monica's reaction is very interesting, for the two sides to her character burst out. She gleefully declares Chandler to be a sucker who's just lost, then suddenly her competetiveness is subsumed by her insecurity, and she begs him to still marry her.

When Ross invites himself to dinner, he discovers Monica making tacos, and then hears her trying to hide her laughter. Mortally wounded that Chandler blabbed, Ross retaliates by informing Monica how Chandler once picked up a girl in a dimly lit bar, but upon kissing her she turned out to be a guy.

Though Monica is rapturous as Ross & Chandler start trading secrets, she is soon drawn into the fray, until Ross goes too far by telling her that in college Chandler got drunk, and slept with the lady who cleaned their dorm - except Chandler retorts that it was Ross, who lamely repeats that Chandler kissed a guy.

All three are sulking from revelation overload when Ross quietly says that the cleaning lady came on to him, but doesn't admit that anything actually happened, and Chandler wisely does not pursue the point. The trio agree to keep the secrets to themselves - except Chandler & Monica have already spread the taco story; and Ross flounces out hurt.

                             ---o0o---

This was the second episode directed by David Schwimmer, but I'm afraid that I was disappointed - mostly because his first effort 606 "TOO the Last Night" was so brilliant.

However, I don't think it's right to lay the blame at his door, for I feel that he was let down by weak writing that was too constrained by having to establish two new story arcs for Rachel & Joey.

There were some good performances, and also a sexual undercurrent ran through all three stories. Since the visuals were better than the words, it seems to me that credit should still go to Mr.Schwimmer.

                             ---o0o---

The executive producers of "Mac & CHEESE" were Colleen Mahan, Eric Goldberg, and Missy Krehblel. Are there any in-jokes here? All I can think of is that Marta Kauffman also has the initials MK.

Notice that Chandler doesn't worry about what to tell Joey.

It was nice to see Lisa Kudrow inflate her chest, for she doesn't show off her assets in the show, in the same way that Courteney & Jennifer do; but even so her breasts still didn't look as big as they do in her new movie "Lucky Numbers".

Having Joey play Drake not Stryker at the end was a neat twist - and the five year period for his coma was about right (4 years 8 months).

When Rachel tries to tell Monica & Phoebe her good news, she has to compete with Joey's good news - but this time she won, unlike 409 "TOW They're Gonna Party!" where she had to compete with Monica's good news & lost, and was left to celebrate on her own.

Can someone who knows about the Ralph Lauren empire please explain what Polo Retail is? All I know is that they don't sell wedding dresses.

Rachel has obviously been going up at Ralph Lauren. As late as 608 "TOW Ross's Teeth", her boss Kim didn't like her until she pretended to have been dumped by Mr.Lauren. And then thanks to Jill & Phoebe in 613 "TOW Rachel's Sister" Rachel got the idea for apartment pants, Kim loved the idea, and presumably it was a success.

Does anyone agree that Tag looks a lot like a younger version of Ross?

If so, Rachel being so attracted to him would be nice foreshadowing for all the Ross & Rachel fans - if it wasn't for the fact that Tag & Phoebe are so attracted to each other...

Rachel immediately uses a camera so that later on she can privately lust over photographs of the pretty boy. Oh, what a fuss there would be if say Ross dared to do the same thing with a pretty girl at work.

Meanwhile, Rachel had better be careful, lest she ends up spending all of eternity with Frances...

Do female readers agree with Rachel that Tag is so pretty? Or is he as ugly as Paolo?

Once Tag reveals some hitherto unsuspected bad character trait & leaves, (as they do), it would be nice if Rachel brought cute red-headed Sophie over from Bloomingdale's to be her assistant.

When Chandler waves an intruder away, we see how the gang hang onto their couch & chairs at Central Perk.

Ross should not be surprised that Chandler tells Monica everything, since he has been doing it for years, most wonderfully in the big secrets scene from 204 "TOW Phoebe's Husband".

In 615-616 "TOT Could Have Been", we never learnt who Chandler had sex with before Monica. Could she have been the cleaning lady?

Some commentators have claimed a continuity error, since it is well established that Ross lost his virginity to Carol Willick. Although the accounts given are so vague & contradictory that no error can be proved, the creators themselves felt bound to reply to the controversy in the New York Daily News...

"He did not have sex with that woman! She & Ross", series co-creator David Crane explained, "did everything but. I'd like to believe that, even in college, while Carol was the only woman he'd ever had sex with, he did some other stuff, too."

No spoilers PLEASE from anyone who has already seen episodes 705-706.

I was just watching TOW Phoebe's Two Boyfriends (sorry, can't remember the real title) the other day and realised that at least in that case, this dictum doesn't work. Both boyfriends reveal unexpected poisitve points and in the end, they both dump Phoebe.

Do you realise she was the nice girl who can't dance and ends up acting in Fame (the film, not the series)?

But they were *single* episode characters. This dictum only applies to multiple episode characters - Paolo made a pass at Phoebe, Fun Bobby was boring when sober, Richard Burke didn't want any children, Janice kissed her husband, Kate Miller got a part in a soap opera, Pete Becker became a wrestler, Bonnie shaved her head, Joshua Bergen freaked at a wedding gown, Emily Waltham tried to separate Ross from Rachel, Danny Tyler was probably incestuous, Gary killed a bird, Janine LeCroix hated Joey's friends, Paul Stephens was a cry baby, and Elizabeth Stephens was immature after all.

The two innocent exceptions are Julie & Kathy.

No - wow! :)

Tennant

I'm not sure what you're talking about, but, if it's what I think it is. Didn't Kathy cheat on Joey with chandler, and on Chandler with Nick? Now this is the part where you tell me that I'm talking crap and then explain what you actually were talking about

In article , [email] (Toni Perry If only) wrote:

Yes, but that wasn't a hitherto unsuspected bad character trait which caused her to leave the show.

No, Chandler wrongly thought she was cheating on him with Nick, but she wasn't. After they had a big stupid fight he failed to make up with her, so *then* she went out with Nick and ended up in bed with him.

Or as Ross put it, Kathy thought she was on a break...

Tennant

oh right! I didn't know that's what you were talking about...

oh k.

Right, it wasn't as good as 606, but I still found it pretty enjoyable.

Hmm... I ran the names through us.imdb.com. None of them returned a good result.

I've never been so jealous! The gorgeous LK and JA giving Joey a 'sandwich'. :-p

Hm... I think designers have different approaches. Sometimes, when you watch these shows, with all the models on the catwalk, don't you think: "Man, these clothes are nice, but who would wear those?" I'm not sure, if such revealing clothes are very comfortable either. Anyways, I think, the Polo Retail thing, is a line, which has clothes, that actually can be worn. And not just by models. (check out: http://polo.com) Plus, I'm not sure, I think, Ralph Lauren might make wedding dresses. Why not?

Hm, his hair sure does. But generally... Hm, no... I don't think so.

I'm not female, but I think: - Paolo: ugly as hell! - Mark: uhm... I don't think, that he's really good looking... - Joshua: like Mark... Not really good looking. JA seems to have a better taste in RL. - Tag: I'd say, the first one, who I'd say rather handsome.

That would have been nice...

Hehehe... I loved that bit, when the gang wanders in, and sees, that 6 other people are already sitting in their seats.

Hmm... weird... in 106 TOW the Butt, I think it's pretty obvious, that Chandler had sex with that Aurora-girl. I'm also guessing, that he had sex with Janice. That would make two... Of course, we don't know, when Chandler quit his job in that parallel universe, but if he did it after 115 TOW the stoned guy, then this is really weird.

That's been discussed widely. I don't really want to go into this again...

Regards, Didi

Correct me if I'm wrong( and I'm sure you will) but didnt JA go out with him in real life so this comment doesnt really make sense, sorry but I thought I would just mention it!

Laura

Hi!

Oooh, she did? Ouch... well, I'm not really interested in which celebrity is dating who. So forgive me, if I didn't know that....

Yep. I don't read spoilers, but I did know in advance that Mr.Schwimmer would be directing, and if it hadn't been for that I might have enjoyed this episode more. This shows how treacherous foreknowledge can be. :(

Thanks for trying, but I reckon this is more of a play on words.

Ulggggg! I was envious even before you put it that way - but oh my god, knowing about Joey's predilections, a breasts sandwich!!! (dribble)

Actually, I'm usually thinking that the models would be more attractive if only they would *eat* something...

They're just attention-grabbing gimmicks, though.

Thanks, I'll check the site.

Oh, that was implied in the dialogue - Ralph Lauren makes wedding dresses but Polo Retail does not.

Okay.

Lol - the actor who played Joshua was JA's boyfriend at the time...

Thanks Didi, but I'd value a woman's opinion more, if you don't mind. :)

Yeah, she was good, I kept wanting Joey to meet her.

Yes, I think that the writers do listen to all the criticism, and put in these little moments when they get the chance.

Indeed.

Chandler really did quit his job in 115 "TOW the Stoned Guy", the change for the parallel universe is that he didn't go back. If that was the only difference, then you're right about Janice & Aurora. But we have to ask what made Chandler react adversely to the job offer, so there must have been some prior change that ruined his confidence.

Maybe it was that the cleaning lady came onto Chandler instead, and it was *him* who slept with her, yet was still a virgin in the morning...

I know, it was awful. I know that the women make admiring references to other attractive women, but it's different for guys. Grudgingly accepting that some guy could be handsome, well possibly - but never wowing.

Excruciating, isn't it? Again, trying to be fair, a lot can depend on the circumstances. This person resembled an attractive girl, and it was dark, but even so it seems that the writers are having a go at him.

Yes, a lot of water flows under the bridge in soaps, but that's because there're five episodes per week, and no character can be allowed to lead an ordinary boring (to others) life. And yes the show can take liberties with a time interval when old characters return.

But even so, the "Friends" writers got the time about right, which is worth noticing when there are so many claims that they care nothing for continuity. Even some writers say this, but IYAM they're disingenuous.

Phoebe sure knows how to handle Joey, doesn't she?

I kept thinking that even though Phoebe is a terrible actress, she couldn't have made Mac and C.H.E.E.S.E. any worse than it already was, so having Phoebe as Mac's blonde human sidekick (Vunda??) might have saved the show from the inevitable TV-axe.

This scene provided us with one of the best Joey-lines we've had in a while IMO.

Joey: Well. I guess you think you're pretty special huh? Sittin' up here in your fancy small hall building. Makin' stars jump through hoops for ya, huh? Well y'know what? (Throws the script away) This is one star who's hoop.. This is a star that the hoop-this hoop-I was Dr. Drake Remoray!

Lol! It's always funny to see a desperate Joey looking for a job, so when Joey has money (not for long, of course) it's fresh. Unfortunately, for Joey, his dream was shattered when his TV-series was taken off the air.

Yay! Joey is brilliant in bad soap-operas, so I can't wait to see what's going to happen in this story arc.

The scene when Rachel tells this news to Monica and Phoebe was rather good. Rachel and Joey competing over who has got the best job isn't something we see every day. However, the scene could have had a better ending than Joey's head rush. Phoebe is so much better than him when it comes to that.

God yes, she was absolutely wonderful, and unsurprisingly this teaser went straight into my list of favourites. It's nice to know Phoebe uses her female equipment for more than getting out of speeding tickets. :)

Lol! That's what it needed! She's always wanted to fight crime.

Yeah - MLB played that superbly, but Joey was betraying the same foolish overconfidence that led to the 'death' of Dr.Ramoray in the first place.

That's the good thing about his character, being in a dodgy profession means that the writers can cook up all sorts of things for him to do.

Yes, but...

Always good fun for the writers - I just loved "I got to go to work, I'm delivering twins today, but only one of them is mine!"

Oh yes, it was good, but it was very similar to the scene in 409 "TOW They're Gonna Party!" where Rachel tries to tell Monica she is going to be an assistant buyer at Bloomingdale's with her own office with walls & everything, but Monica & Phoebe are too busy with their news to listen.

True, true. And in 409 they had a better ending where Phoebe & Monica rush off to argue over the van, leaving Rachel to celebrate by throwing her arms into the air, all pathetic & alone.

Oh yes? Can you tell if CCA had it open to the relevant page?

How do you mean? Rachel did hire Hilda.

Indeed, that's what it was, although Rachel covered well.

I know, and that was a particularly bad stab at him. :(

I know, something else to add to the huge list of Things We Wish We'd Seen.

I said Phoebe was *not* surprised, or am I misunderstanding you?

Ugly & stupid.

No, but we heard all about Kenny The Copy Guy - which means that Monica is now the only one who has had no liaisons with members of the Xeroxing community, real or reputed...

Eek!

Yes he should, Monica offered him an exchange knowing that it would be unfair. I've always thought of Monica as a good sport, but here she was not. If it really had been a secret that a spouse can't share then she should have said so, and left it at that.

Thankfully yes, screechy Monica is no more. Phew! :)

Yes, okay, but I preferred 609 because of Judy's reaction.

Yeah! Something else to add to the huge list of Things We Wish We'd Seen.

..and there's worse things than shitting yourself, anyway.

You liked it more than I, but it wasn't bad I guess. :)

Yeah, even though in 218 they finished with...

RACHEL: Well, maybe they can find a way to bring you back.

JOEY: Nah, they said that when they found my body, my brain was so
      smashed in that the only doctor that could have saved me was
      me. Supposed to be some kind of irony or somethin'.

They can't kill off Ralph Lauren! :)

And thanks for your parenthetical query over Joanna's fate. ;)

Oh, they did, you could see this at the end of the episode.

Yeah, could be. She's Joanna Gleason, the daughter of Monty Hall (the great US game show host), and the wife of Susan Sarandon's ex-husband.

That could be a direction for the story to go, for Rachel to reach her much awaited come-uppance & redemption.

Ugly & stupid.

But I still think he was good at his job, for a beginner. He is eager and willing to learn, and will adopt Rachel's methods. He is also very diligent, stopping late at night to get the job done, and also working in his lunch hour when Rachel expected to find him at leisure. Okay, so Hilda was far better at doing the job in the first place - but you see that only makes her a *BAD* choice for the post of assistant, for she would have constituted a real threat to Rachel.

Yep, she deserves a break, and I think that Joey would like her...

Well of course, in that episode Chandler & Ross had only just survived the trauma of the couch bullies, and they warned the others.

Crane co-created this universe which we explore. He & Kauffman are God.

Not to mention the fact that it helps her out when she's begging for money (617). Hopefully, she doesn't have to do that anymore now. (Charging massage clients 80 dollars a week, she should have no problems with the finances at the moment.)

And this way it wouldn't be illegal either. :)

Yeah. And I kind of get the feeling that the actors in Hollywood put some of their own experience into parts like these, which in turn makes it funnier to watch.

Me too. The worst thing is that it probably could have happened on a soap-opera! :)

I know. However, I don't think we've ever seen Rachel and *Joey* compete over something like this. In the beginning they were the "losers", but now they were some of the most successful people in the group. (Until Joey lost his job that is.)

"I'm gonna have walls! Walls!!" <g>

No. Apparently Monica is reading pages 152 and 153, and there isn't a thing on those pages that is remotely related to animals and what they say about you... ;) MP is on page 635 and then there is a picture of CCA on page 156...

Yeah, but if Hilda had been allowed to stay longer than her rather short visit at Ralph Lauren, Hilda might have realised rather quickly that Rachel was maybe a little too excited about hiring her own assistant.

We should send that list as a wish list to the producers for Christmas...

I was talking about Rachel and the fact that she tends to keep the cute guys to herself. And if she doesn't succeed in doing so, she'll get jealous...

Hopefully, he grows on you. I might have been a little harsh on him, but I think he's this year's Janine, only more boring.

But in the end he realised that it's not smart to share absolutely *everything*... However, he shouldn't expect Monica to tell him everything that Rachel and Phoebe tell her. I know that she tricked him and everything, but in the end it worked out just fine (?).

609 was really funny, but I enjoyed this one too. Maybe it was because unlike hurricane Gloria and Ross smoking pot, I had actually been to Space Mountain and knew what they were talking about. :) (It's not as scary as Ross thinks, though.)

It's growing every week.... :)

That's the beauty of soap-operas. You can never be too sure that someone's really dead. ;)

Maybe they could kill off The Empty Vase? j/k ;)

I knew you were going to catch my drift... :)

And Ross got married there too...<g> (Monty Hall) But nobody understood poor Chandler's joke. I had to read in Friends Like Us to get the joke.

Oh, definitely. She would have seen what Rachel isn't capable of doing right away. Maybe we'll have to give the bloke a chance, just like the chance Mark gave to Rachel.

Hehe, yeah, I know. I read a fanfic once about the two of them hooking up, and it was really funny.

If it hadn't been for Monica being in such a terrible shape at the moment, she would have had no trouble getting rid of the people on "their" couch in 301.

Lol, yes : "I used to beg for money. Of course it helps if you've got y'know a little of this (she sticks her chest out and shakes it) goin' on. Wow! I still have it!"

Indeed so, and that's for one client who has a one hour session every week. If she works a 40 hour week, that's about $160,000 a year! BTW, the transcript says "eight dollars", which I'm sure is wrong.

It would be fun to see a dream sequence of "Vunda & Chancy"...

Oh yes, and I'm sure that Phoebe & Ross acting so badly in 620 are based on some of the people they've had to put up with.

Yep - but it *is* possible... ;)

No, but it was just Joey's turn, I think.

That's what I mean, he's still on a very rocky footing.

Poor kid... and now she *does* have walls. :)

Ah.

Lol - so she had just been looking at herself, then turned the page!

Oh yes, and worse. Initially hiring Hilda was a big mistake.

Indeed yes, see below...

Ah - I was caught out by pronouns again. I feel like Joey in 517.

She wasn't all that bad, but somehow she ruined the show's chemistry, and made the other six less interesting - so all 4 of the episodes to feature her just didn't work. Tag hasn't had that effect so far.

Okay, but Monica should just have told Chandler that it wasn't her secret to tell, and left it at that. Maybe she could have added that he would be bored by it anyway. But I suppose it wasn't boring to her.

Ah-hah! Gotcha now! :)

It was the tacos!!

Here's the list...

Monica & Rachel kiss for one minute. Joey taking Tag Jones out on the pull. Monica riding side-saddle on the Chipper. Hilda's face when Tag had 'to let her go'. Monica and Janine brawling in Bedford Street. Chandler being bitten by a peacock at the zoo. Rachel convincing poor Bonnie to shave her head. Mrs. Rachel Geller freaking out in a Greek hotel. Rachel on her date with Van Damme & Drew Barrymore. Joey & Chandler playing fireball in Monica's kitchen. Phoebe jumping out of the chair at the tattoo parlour. The face of the woman with a big head big head big head. Chandler being slapped by George Michael at a Wham concert. Phoebe throwing wet paper towel bombs in Monica's apartment. Joey & Chandler smuggling the fridge past the security guard. Chandler & Ross competing in a Vanilla Ice look-a-like contest. Mr.Green's face after Monica told him Rachel had sex on his bed. Joey & Chandler telling Phoebe which film star's hair they wanted. Phoebe's cute Christmas story about a dwarf that got broke in half. Phoebe convincing Chandler to follow her plan by booking the museum.

..any more?

Joanna lives!!! ;)

You might be kidding, but that's an idea actually. It would make a change from a Suddenly Revealed Hitherto Unsuspected Personality Defect...

:)

Indeed. One of the writers must have had this pathetic joke that nobody would let him use, and finally it got trotted out.

Yeah - although the more I see of Tag, the less I like him...

Oh yes? Where?

She *was* in a bad way. Fans should think about that when they blithely speculate about Monica running out on Chandler at the wedding.

With Phoebe driving the van, of course... :)

Yeah, I remember reading about a woman who got one kid who was Afro-American and one who was Caucasian. And there were of course two fathers involved.

And an assistant.

So far (704) he's been boring, but he might turn out OK in the end.

I guess it was the same deal with the water fountain.

Phoebe forming the A-team (I said it in another thread, but...) Joey getting stuck in the trash chute Phoebe asking people if they want massages, and the police thinking that she's a hooker. Phoebe impersonating a police officer and doing good deeds. Monica diving to get the Geller Cup from the lake. Ross getting mad at the kids who knock on his door. Rachel running down the aisle. Chandler wearing the cap with the little mirrors

...and dozens of other things.

I can't remember. It was a fanfic from the beginning of season 5, and Joey and Sophie hooked up. They went on a double date at first, so they had to bring one friend each to have a blind date for their friends. Of course they ended up with Ross and Rachel, and it turned ugly IIRC. But I can't remember the title.

Which turns into a speedboat as the villains try to escape up the river. Chancy can't see as the spray clouds his glasses, and falls overboard. After Vunda has to circle back to rescue him, they are captured and taken to the black-haired gangleader Monana, where Chancy proves his worth by sweet talking her into letting them go, except Vunda falls for Monana's sidekick, the Bone Man...

Yep. And even easier in a hospital with an IVF clinic. For all that we know, Dr.Zane ill deserves her reputation - so Frank, Lesley & Chandler all have different fathers, one of whom is Joey...

Who is more boring, or less boring, than the walls? ;)

Lol yes, Wet Pants Geller! Poor guy.

Phoebe forming the new A-Team. Street Phoebe stabbing the cop. Monica & Rachel kiss for one minute. Ursula & Leslie running on the barge. Joey getting stuck in the trash chute. Joey taking Tag Jones out on the pull. Monica riding side-saddle on the Chipper. Hilda's face when Tag had 'to let her go'. Chandler wearing a cap with little mirrors.

Mrs. Rachel Geller freaking out in a Greek hotel. Monica diving to get the Geller Cup from the lake. Rachel on her date with Van Damme & Drew Barrymore. Ross chasing kids who knock on his door & run away. Joey & Chandler playing fireball in Monica's kitchen. Phoebe jumping out of the chair at the tattoo parlour. Phoebe impersonating a police officer to do good deeds. The face of the woman with a big head big head big head. Chandler being slapped by George Michael at a Wham concert. Phoebe throwing wet paper towel bombs in Monica's apartment. Joey & Chandler smuggling the fridge past the security guard. Chandler & Ross competing in a Vanilla Ice look-a-like contest. Mr.Green's face after Monica told him Rachel had sex on his bed. Joey & Chandler telling Phoebe which film star's hair they wanted. Phoebe's cute Christmas story about a dwarf that got broke in half. Phoebe convincing Chandler to follow her plan by booking the museum.

How do you mean? At her wedding to Barry? If so, she popped the bathroom window out of the frame, and escaped that way.

Yes yes yes???? More please!!!

Lol! I see a new fantasy episode coming up... A Friends/Face Off (the boat chase of course)/Charlie's Angels crossover..

And one is Jack Geller due to his donation several years ago. So that means that Chandler is Monica's sister. (This could get tricky and end up on Jerry Springer)

Lol! I'll have to get back to you on that after I've seen him in another episode.

It would have been funny to know just how many nick names Ross has had.

Pardon me, but what's TWINE? Gale Weathers needs to gain weight and get a new haircut. Her appearance in Scream 3 was plain weird. Jennifer Jolie (Parker Posey) was much funnier. I'd like to see Nic Cage, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu on the show.

Of course. Maybe we need to call Jerry Springer or Ricki Lake right away. ;)

I can think of Sailor. (223)

This is getting difficult, but here are some...

Gunther being buried in an avalanche Chandler sticking his tongue down (sorry, "being friendly" Monica, Rachel and Ross's throats. The Greens fighting and bishop Tutu shushing them during Jill's (?) graduation The Pictionary incident ("Watch out!!")

And of course the biggest one of them all... Fnding out how Monica got so wasted that she ended up in Chandler's bedroom that night in London.

I've only seen the first Scream.

Can't stand Cage, Barrymore is already on the "Things We Wish We'd Seen" list, and Liu was terrible in "ER" - but just for you Marita, yes. :)

Did you know that "Springer" is German for "knight" (as in chess)?

Oh, well, you better see the next two as well. They're not as scary, but they're quite funny.

I think Lucy Liu is great, especially on Ally McBeal. She can be so wonderfully evil. And she was Charlie's best Angel. :)

I see that. *laughs*

So it has to be one of her favourites, then. After all, we're talking about a girl who dreams about Zack Mayo (Richard Gere).

<snip>

Okay.    :)

Rachel hitting (clocking) a girl in the line together with her. Rachel fighting with a blonde planet over the next cab at the airport Chandler and Joey driving Richard's Jaguar Finding out exactly why <708 title> Chandler collecting stuff for his friends on the George Washington Bridge Joey meeting Warren Beatty The entire "Freud!" musical (just for fun) Joey on the swings in the park Dan the poking guy Phoebe and Gary preventing crimes Phoebe sitting in the interrogation room at the police station (not together with Gary, of course) Phoebe marrying Duncan Phoebe with her barrel Jack Geller soundproofing the basement (and the reason why) Ross, Chandler and Joey yelling at the noisy guy upstairs Monica playing "The Flying Nun"

And a scene that didn't happen, but I'd like to see it: Chandler giving a very moving performance in Titanic. ;)

In the first movie, I couldn't get over how Gale Weathers was far more glamorous than Monica Geller, who's not that bad in the first place.

She's meant to be evil? And CE was crap on stilts, sorry.

*dimples* (see, not Rossish there)

That's Joey then - he wouldn't dump her on the couch just because she forgot to turn off the bathroom light... :)

Ooh Marita, you're so good at this.

LOL!!!!!!!

Ooh, can you just imagine the other songs?

*Sometimes a Cigar is Just a Cigar

*Socks are Innies as well as Outies

*Oedipus Schmoedipus I Just Love Mom

*Sigmund's Wife Wears Freudian Slips

And the Vegas guy (so's we know who was first)

Awww, poor kid!

And the pogo stick that really likes it?

He did his Titanic performance for Monica, later that night. :)

She doesn't care much about other people, that's for sure. Didn't you see the episode where John Cage was stuck in the elevator and Billy died? She was worried about not getting her facial....

Charlie's Angels wasn't about having a great story or a believable plot. The flick was all about girls finally getting the chance to kick some @$. No Ethan Hunt or James Bond in sight... ;)

But Marilyn Manson's girlfriend being cut in half was funny as well.. :)

Oh, I know, and it's crap right now (season 3). I hope season 4 is as good as the Americans claim it is.

Hmmmph..  ;)

I might agree with you on Cameron and Drew, but Lucy Liu throws knives and fights kung-fu (or something like that) for fun. ...Sounds like a fight made in heaven for Phoebe.

Lol! What would Sigmund say? ;)

And there was an insensitive mom and an Italian friend involved.

However, I'd like to see them "flying" on the roof of the London Marriott. ;)

The entire scene where Chandler jumps into Joey's arms Joey jumping on his bed Monica stealing Ross's money Ross and Jack in Egypt Ross and the water fountain Chandler meeting Doug at the stripchurch (j/k!!!)

Wow yes, Monica would look so beautiful...

I'm now convinced that was the original arrival of Erica Ford.

What's that?

You say "j/k" but that's brilliant! Yes!!

Spitting on his knee?

While having lunch.

It was very strange they didn't invite Phoebe to the wedding, then asked her for an enormous favour. A but like Rachel really...

There must be lots more. How about...

Rachel trying to get underprivileged kids to play with Capri pants.

Joey making disgusting low-budget adult films.

How Monica's underwear ended up on the telephone pole.

515 TOW The Girl Who Hits Joey:

Freakily, it comes right before RPTDR - (Je Me) Roule Par Terre De Rire, or the French for (I am) rolling on the floor laughing from laughter.

What is the literal translation?

No comment on this one? I've only just come across it, and the mental picture it conjures up is quite sublime - what was Ross's mother doing to engender such a response, and how did she react?

NOW, but not at the time, for Phoebe was offering him a cheffing job instead of Monica who was slowly going up the wall...

That was the idea!

At this point, 222.

They're not all dead, since he has sisters-in-law & brothers-in-law.

Ah - don't the 401-K's only work in the Fine Foods division?

Awww, they don't all hate her now though, do they, no thanks to Dragon...

Joey enjoyed patting one particular burnt spot...

I never thought of that, I always supposed it was because of 223 "TOW the Chicken Pox".

Whereabouts would these go?

All of them? What about just the eleven Christmas songs we never heard about her mother's suicide?

She cried all night...

Beer's beer man, 24/7!!

Gosh yes. Does he really ask if Chandler wants "Dirty rice"?

He should be easy to catch, then... ;)

But in her mind it was called "The Tr�s Spot"...

I thought they were dishes, and he *said* it was a cup?

GOSH!!! I never noticed this...

The Bs were Pete Becker, Chandler Bing, Fun Bobby, Richard Burke, and Timothy Burke.

The non-Bs were Roy Gublik, Chip Matthews, Michael Mitchell, Paul TWG, and Jean-Claude Van Damme.

And the don't knows are Alan, Bob, Ethan, Julio, and Mischa. There does seem to be a pattern here... :)

Mister Right Place at the Right Time...

He didn't, he forgot it.

Wow, Marita - you're doing really well! :)

I have a few more myself...

Alpine Monica upstaging the von Trapp kids in 'The Sound of Music'. Joey & Chandler fixing the radiator for the hot sweaty women. Luisa Gianetti sitting behind Monica & Rachel in home room. Monica's fate if Marcel had pooped in her right shoe. Rachel dressed up as the Prom & Homecoming Queens. Ross asking Rachel to look after a pen or a pencil.

I find it strange to believe that you've never read that particular book (but then this is what I get from coming into a thread halfway through). The McDs part definately should be Chandler's reaction to Joey's homesickness, although the vinegar joke should be cut (which it probably would have been when the writers got over here if the entire scene didn't go the journey). I can just imagine Joey and Chandler's faces looking at the shine from the golden arches.

Dunno why, but I've always thought that should be spelt Monanna.

ODG, when was this?

BTW, WEHT the Crystal Duck awards?

Or in the hammock, or dancing with UNGal, or using his thighmaster, or lighting his Christmas candles.

Or his clicky gesture-y thing.

When was this?

When Ben was born, he looked like his great uncle.

We don't know, that's we we want to see it.

Could be, but Nana is spelt N-A-N-A.

Not yet. Monica complained that the credit card thief had been horseback riding in the park - in fact she had everything that Monica wanted, yet didn't have her mother.

Oooh - was it an in-joke?

Oh yes, the Play-Doh Fat Factory.

Yep.

Yep.

When was this?

Yep.

After the father of Lydia's baby turned up, in 123 "TOW the Birth".

Not really. They were an ongoing set of awards from when I first started surfing the net 3-4 years ago. Every year, the fans of Friends voted on their favourite Friend/line/actor/etc of the latest season. Not sure who administrated it, it was on a website, not this NG. Maybe Dan Silverstein?

Well I just remembered a scene where they winced because he'd dripped hot candle wax (??) on himself. Sound familiar?

I didn't comment on it because I couldn't remember it.. <checks the script> ah, yes, 114 TOW The Candy Hearts. Is Judy Geller really that scary?

Poor Mon... The guy with the rubber chicken was Phoebe's first choice. It couldn't do much for Monica's self-esteem. However, it *was* Phoebe.

Little Joey Puppet Hand should join him.

Another one of Joey's script ideas.

Friends does 9 1/2 weeks...

Do you think Helen would help him or Nina?

Wow, I didn't think we had that many...

No, but wouldn't it be cool to see him give legal advice to the *dead* ones? :) Maybe Phoebe could help.

The robots work for "them", so basically they could be working for Chandler, Doug etc...

Hehe.. right. But sad little Monica in a baked chef's jacket and a "quit, bitch" hat in a dark alley... Dragon should have showed up and rescued her there.

"I think you got it!!" ;)

Maybe. But she didn't seem to be afraid of them then. Especially when they finally came off.

According to "Making Friends in the UK", the puppet scenes were supposed to be going like this:

(after Joey reads Chandler condoms) (Phoebe and Rachel enter J+C's apartment) (...) Rachel: What? We're not all getting them [Ross and Emily] something together? Phoebe: No, I'm making them puppets. (She pulls out two identical pieces of plain cotton.) Phoebe: This is Ross and this is Emily. Rachel (to Chandler and Joey): You guys want to get in on something?

(After Ross and Emily discover that the church has been torn down.) [Scene: M+R's apartment. Phoebe is lying on the couch, working on her gift. They look a little more like puppets now. Rachel flips through a catalogue. Phoebe holds up the puppets.] Phoebe: What do you think? Does this one totally capture Ross, and this one totally capture Emily? Rachel: They kinda look the same to me. Phoebe (speaking about R & E): I know, those two *do* look like they could be related, don't they? Rachel: You think they'd like a clock? Phoebe: Why don't you ask them? (Holds up the puppets.) No, wait, don't. They don't have ears yet. (pause) You know what I need? Velcro. For the hands and lips, so they can hold hands and kiss. And some here, for the honeymoon...

Later when Rachel comes home after shopping, Phoebe is still working on the puppets and puts them face down to prevent them from seeing what Rachel got for "them" as a wedding gift.

Phoebe also tells the Ross puppet that Rachel is *not* in love with him.

(After Monica and Ross fix the "ruin" for Emily.) Joey doesn't get homesick after watching Cheers in the first draft of the script, but he gets homesick anyway, and Chandler takes him to McDonalds to make up for it. However, Joey is disgusted when the cashier wonders if he wants vinegar with his chips.

Well, given that it's December that would be nice, but I'd also like to hear the full version of "Dumb drunken bitch" (gives a whole new meaning to angry feminist rock) and all the others.

Little did he know how appropriate it was to say that.

Yeah, I know, but the bed was still there in the tag scene when Chandler played with it....

King

Maybe they were dishes. It sounded much like when all the china was broken on Titanic.

See? She was destined to be MEB from day one. :)

512 TOW Chandler's Work Laugh:

Monica: I can't believe you let them win! Chandler: Yeah, at least you hid your feelings well about it. (shows her his broken racket) Monica: I was frustrated. Chandler: It was my racquet Monica: I was frustrated with you!

411 TOW Phoebe's Uterus:

Joey: Look, Ross, really it's-it's no big deal. Y'know you wear a white coat, I wear a blue blazer, if that means we can't be friends at work, then so be it. Y'know, hey I understand. Y'know? Hey, when I'm in a play and you're in the audience, I don't talk to you, right? So it's y'know, it's uh, it's cool. I'll see you tomorrow. (exits) Rachel: Yeah, when we're in the audience he doesn't talk to us, but he does wave.

He forgot to bring it. He didn't forget to buy it.... It's still in apartment 20 or perhaps in his gymbag? ;)

Takk

Lol! Do you think she got to sing "Do Re Mi" or just "Do --"?

How about getting to meet Ross and Janice's very hairy children?

Hmm... roll, ruller, roule and the German word rollen are all so similar, that they must be derived from the same old word.

We face the frightening prospect that so far we've only seen Judy as a mother, not as a mother-in-law...

Phoebe's concern was that Chandler was out of a job and Monica wasn't.

Lol

Actually it was both Joey & Chandler's - while they were sleeping together.

Lol - was that the one with the butter?

She'd help Chandler, they all thought Nina was schizophrenic.

It's now 331. (And by the end of this posting, 357).

Oh I *see* - yes, you're right!

Okey dokey. :)

Well, Joey agreed to help after the QB hat incident, and sympathised about the jacket, but then let her down because he was earning so much money. It was when Monica was shut in the freezer that he stepped in, but then he went too far by complaining that it was going to be a lean Christmas at the Dragon house.

It was in the following episode that Monica revealed she eats by herself in the alley, then that was the last we saw until 607 "TOW Phoebe Runs", (at least I think so), since when she has been okay. So what happened in between? Maybe Joey did sort them out, but we never heard.

Ah, but then Ryan died... ;)

Awww, that would have been so great!

That sounds more like a traditional Fish & Chip shop, than McDonalds.

Oh yes! That's in now. :)

How do you mean?

That tag scene is not quite right, and neither is the teaser of the next episode. If you copy 307 & 308 to tape, but cut from Joey seeing Janice & Gary kissing to Ross asking Gunther for a napkin, you can see how the narrative flows. So where do 307's tag & 308's teaser belong?

Could be.

Lol

She was!

Why his gymbag?

You mean as in "Memo-" ?

RPGOL !!! That's a real keeper! :)

Here's the latest batch...

Bats flying out of Joan's nostrils when she sneezes. Carol's breast getting bigger as Ben blows into the other one. Chandler as the class clown at his all-boys high school. Eddie Moskowitz visiting Monica when she has her Christmas tree up. Frankie definitely cupping Joseph Tribbiani. God talking to Ross in the style of Chandler Bing. How many 'pathetic loser' nickels Monica has. Joey dating & kissing the hot girl who had a big Adam's apple. Joey serving cheese when a rival comes to slice a better cheddar. Kids running from Crazy Snake Man who calls the snakes his babies. Monica with a gorgeous Demi Moore hairstyle. Phoebe's impression of the shootout at the OK Corral. Rachel holding Heckles' magnifier in front of her chest. Rachel's friends comforting her after Ross & Julie left. Ross having his pants measured in prison. Ross visiting the patient who's having a bad hair day. The brand new type of sex that Monica's never had. The first time Joey lost a girl to a cowboy spraying cologne. The screaming spitting guy on the Chinese bus. What Chandler would have done if Janice's baby had been his. What Heckles wrote in his 'Big Book of Grievances' about Janice. What Phoebe would have done if Ross hadn't caved. Young Heckles cracking everyone up in science class.

..any more?

English, German and Norwegian (Scandinavian in general) are quite similar languages.

I bet Chandler should be happy he doesn't know(?) about that nick-name. But I've got a feeling he already knows enough about Judy to handle her.

But was the handsome man about to enter?? ;)

I think so, yes. But the Hot Shots version is even better where Topper (Charlie Sheen) uses Ramada's belly button as some sort of a catapult-mechanism to shoot the olive into her mouth. :)

Yes, and the waiters wrote on her hat several times:

The Waiter: Hey! He has a name, it's Dragon. Do you wanna know your name? Check your hat. (to another waiter) We did the hat right?

But ever since Alexandra Marguiles (is she Juliana's sister? She looks like her) joined the cast and 607, they've been nice to her, as you said.

He already said in 211 TOW The Lesbian Wedding that he felt like Superman, so maybe Joey turned up as Superman in the alley? :)

And no one was there to save private Ryan this time. ;)

I'm just guessing that the meal got *ahem* "dirty" when the love birds got their hands on the food.

There's clearly an error here, but we never saw Monica delivering the bed back. Jester refused to take it back. The bed could very well be in the creepy storage room next to the little waffle iron.

Because he seems to keep a lot of his secret belongings hidden there... ;)

Yes. So I guess she'd sing "Doe--" or "Doe, a---"

Maybe, but will he be a stand-up guy who goes the distance?? ;)

Awww, poor Mon.

Why?

Hmmmm...

Lol! The porn version could be "Saving Ryan's Privates".

Okay, but why did Joey say that?

Are we sure it's an error? Or are we just not analysing it enough?

Oh. Yes. :)

He always watches the Discovery Channel! :)

Oh yeah, on the plane. That was because he took her snack.

But a baby *would* fall off a basset hound!

Oh wow, yes!

Awww...

OMG yes, especially Mrs.Chatracus seeing a hole appear in her ceiling, and wondering what game those boys are playing now, only that nice girl's face appears instead.

I wonder what it was like for the old lady, living across the hallway from Mr.Heckles for all those years?

Anyway, this story had one of my favouritest scenes where the three girls try to work out which gadget is making a noise, only it's Joey playing a trick on them!

And one that was purely for art.

A *nighttime* regatta gala! :-)

Oh, oh yes! And to everyone that can't believe how sly Phoebe is, just you *look* at her face...

This is Eddie helping Chandler pick out a chiorizo/chorizo, which we've already got, and I still don't know what it is or how it's spelt.

Thanks, Marita - here's some more from me...

Chandler dating lovely yet moody Miss Crankypants. Monica's relief when her own baby doesn't hate her. What happened to the basketball that fell on Grove Street. Ross discovering he's allergic to lobster, peanuts, and kiwi fruit. Joey taking care of hundreds of nieces & nephews. Joey making *special* lattes with the extra milk in the fridge. Salvatore Tribbiani with his contented & beautiful wife. Phoebe reading the labels of her shampoos in the shower. The scary-ass clowns that came to Joey's birthday. Phoebe earning $1.75 for singing 'Su-Su-Suicide'. Frank Junior recognising his long-sister as a busker. Monica hitting Ross in the face with the Silvians' pumpkin. Monica flipping over her bike after Ross put a broom in the spokes. Emily Geller kicking Ben's ass. Little doctor Ross saving Malibu Ken from gangrene.

No, not as much as these Germanic languages. They are all Indo-European languages, but they belong to different groups. Gothic, Afrikaans, German, Frisian, English, Swedish, Icelandic, Danish and Norwegian belong to the Germanic group, while French, Spanish, Italian, Roumanian and Portuguese belong to a totally different group. We call it the "italic" group, but I didn't find a proper translation to English in my dictionary.

No, but as long as he doesn't say anything about her clothes, he should be fine.

<g>

I noticed her for the first time in 624 TOW The Proposal where she let Richard into Monica's kitchen. How ironic that she appeared in an episode in the 7th season as well. (And that wasn't a plot spoiler, but you know what I'm talking about.)

Maybe the Chan Chan man replaced Joey and talked her up... ;)

Lol! Yeah. I don't think it would get as many Oscar nods, though.

We're talking about *Joey* here. He can make grandma's chicken salad dirty, remember? :) And when he walked in on his naked friend in the hot tub with dozens of candles lit all around, Joey must have got a feeling that Chandler was doing something "inappropriate", whatever it was. And I bet Joey didn't think there was a girl involved.

Only one way to find out, right?

Monica and Joey went home with the bed. It's very unlikely that their friends were in the apartments at that time since Monica and Joey told them at the coffee house. But there was no sign of the bed when they returned, so they must have put the bed somewhere. Chandler was "driving" it, hence they put it in her bedroom. However, Rachel served Ross, Phoebe and Chandler cookies in M+R's apartment in the opening scene of 308 TOW The Giant Poking Device, so I think this scene ruins it all. If we hadn't had that opening scene, Monica could have placed the bed in her bedroom while trying (together with Joey) to find the others. Chandler plays with the bed, and Rachel catches him. Rachel and Chandler then exit M+R's apartment, and Rachel goes to Central Perk together with Ross and Phoebe. Chandler goes somewhere to find out what he's going to buy for Janice or to his work. And Monica and Joey meet the others at the coffee house... But unfortunately, this is not the way the script was written..

I just meant that I wouldn't want to see Monica and *Richard*'s baby falling off anything. If they want something to fall down, it should be Monica and *Chandler*'s baby. ;)

I bet he asked her if she had seen Bob Buttons or any of his birds. :)

"Oh my god, that's so freaky! Turn him off!" lol!

What is it exactly?

That's one I'd *really* like to see.

Chandler and Joey at a bar as the "Bracelet Buddies" Joey and the party guests playing volleyball in Chandler's room Ms ??? Green decorating her dad's condo with wicker Althea Geller stealing Sweet 'n' Los from various restaurants Ross and Monica doing the routine in eighth grade Joey making pottery The allergy actor being attacked by a bunch of dogs All the Mac and C.H.E.E.S.E. episodes if they produced more than the pilot Joey delivering twins, but only one of them is his

Yeah, except that in this case, "roule" does fit, which is why I am supposing that it's an *old* word.

Ah, "Italic" (pertaining to Italy) is the correct word in English, but we don't say that because of confusion with "italic" (a sloping type invented in Italy) - so instead we say "Romance" (any vernacular that developed from Latin) which doesn't cause any confusion at all...

Her clothes?

Maybe, but it would be nice to know. If he has, he did a much better job than Rachel did with Paul Stephens.

Yesss...

Well, of course the mind boggles at what Joey must have thought that Chandler was up to, but I still don't think that Joey would ask if he wanted dirty rice. I reckon it's a slang Chinese food term.

Ah - stop you right there, Marita. :)

I don't believe that Monica & Joey went anywhere with the bed. They just fronted up at Mattress King to have their staff deliver the pillow top queen set that she paid for, and take away the race car bed.

No, it's still there because the delivery men haven't been yet.

I know... :)

Which is why I reckon we're missing something.

One theory I have (looking at 307 & 308 again) is that seeing Rachel in her dressing gown & bedsocks, and Chandler agreeing to leave while saying his bed is so boring, is misleading us into thinking that this is late at night. But what if this is lunchtime, and Chandler has the afternoon off, and Rachel (who is not a morning person) has had a long lie in?

BTW, looking at the TV advert at the start of 307, or the sign in the store later on, could Gary's surname be Kingsdown?

OTOH, another sign says there are seven stores in the tri-state area, so the owner would have more important things to do than just manage one store, so is Gary just one of seven Mattress Kings?

Oh! That's some set of priorities you've got there... ;)

Don't worry, we're in the realm of the hypothetical here, and wishing that we'd seen something is not the same as wishing it would happen. I want to see Ursula discovering her mother's body, but it won't be any fun - unlike say Monica & Rachel kissing for one minute.

Maybe, but what if years before he had secretly been in love with her, but never said anything because she was already married?

Yep! And people said Season 4 was so bad there shouldn't be a Season 5.

I don't know! I'm hoping an American (or maybe an Italian) will explain.

Lol, they'd have even less success at picking up chicks!

Would a flashy gold bracelet make Tag more interesting? ;)

I assumed this was 311 "TOW Chandler Can't Remember Which Sister", but in fact the database told me it was 222 "TOW Two Parties". Thing is, on both occasions that there's been a mixed-sex party at #19, Joey failed to pull, but Chandler got some serious tongue-throat action...

Rachel's sister is heard in the full-length 302 "TOW No-one's Ready" in the new American DVDs, but I don't know which sister she is. Keep your fingers crossed it's not Jill, (mentioned in 222 "TOW Two Parties").

Sorry, but her surname wasn't Geller. We don't know Judy's maiden name.

With the original ending where Big Monica catches Ross!

What's this a reference to?

That would be a pack of dogs, but anyway there was only one dog.

They did, there was at least two, if not more, since the gang ran out of nice things to say to Joey.

Oh yes, a cute send-up of soap operas there, which reminds me...

Joseph Tribbiani achieving brilliant new levels of sucking. Joey with his left arm stuck right up a cow's rectum. The Stegosaurus that fell over and trapped a kid. Fun Bobby giving the whole gang a few bounces. Chandler getting boned at the Museum of Natural History. Fun Bobby making Belgian waffles Irish. Whether Phoebe was a big fan of 'Bonanza' or 'Battlestar Galactica'. Who'd get amnesia after sleeping together at the soap opera party. The guy continuing his performing bird act, after the bird died. Ross & Russ getting to meet Bob Saget. Phoebe buttering a spider into her toast. Italy calling Joey to say that it was hungry. Chandler's pop-up book of 'How To Have Sex'. Joey promoting the Little Major to General after Denise DeMarco. The Doody Blues singing 'Knights in White Satin'. Rachel sleeping with Chandler to get a great job. Chandler holding an airline liquor bottle to pretend he's a giant. Joey sleeping with Lori to get the part of Drake Ramoray. How Julie got on with Russ after learning he was a doctor of gums.

Yeah, either that or it's a loanword.

Yep, from 609 TOW Ross Got High:

Monica: Mom, uh, Chandler was just saying how beautiful your sweater is. Mrs. Geller: Oh, thank you Chandler! I just bought it. Chandler: Oh, yes. Well it's very beautiful. It's cream-colored and tight... I don't mean tight, I mean it's not too tight, not that I was looking at---- ;)

Yeah, I guess that could be the reason. We are after all talking about two blokes who are dependent on Monica and the take away menus in their kitchen to get food.

A person that angry, annoyed - and freakishly strong - could very well be able to drag the bed down to the store in the first place. I really don't think Monica would have gone down to the store to *tell* them something was wrong and let the Mattress King off the hook that easily. Monica may have said that she is afraid of confrontation, but she didn't seem scared in this scene. I really don't know what to believe in this case because I'm confident that Monica was able to bring the bed down to the store, but yet we don't see her with the bed when they are there. She's just bringing some sort of a receipt. (Maybe I'm a bit biased since I've seen this quite a few times in real life.) The most logical thing would be that Monica brought the bed down to the store the first time. Trusting the employees at the Mattress King doesn't seem like the best thing to do. And if Monica were to trust them, she would have to stay home 24/7 to make sure no one signed the papers (as her) and received a new bed she hadn't ordered. That said, it would perhaps make the whole "error" affair easier to understand and explain if we said that Joey and Monica just went down to the store to tell them about the incident, but I have to say that Monica doesn't strike me as a person who would just keep quiet and accept the lousy service she got there.

I agree. And why would Chandler be in Monica's room (and in her bed) at night anyway?

I was under the impression that Kingsdown was the name of the mattress below the poster..?

Maybe he has a lot of brothers and sisters. :)

Hey! It's just in our imaginations! :) After all this is the world where Phoebe and Ms Tribbiani are fighting in the streets on a regular basis. ;)

Well, I think the lesbian kissing on Ally McBeal proved that this is quite dull and just a pure ratings stunt.

I'd like to comment on that one, but I can't due to some teeny, tiny spoiler reasons. :)

Maybe... I'll give him the benefit of the doubt since it's Christmas. :)

I was referring to 222 TOW Two Parties. So maybe Chandler has been the "apartment stud" all along? :)

I heard someone say it was Jill, but no one can be 100% sure of that yet.

Oh, that's right. I stand corrected. :)

Of course. That was the whole point in putting it up on the list. :)

611 TOW The Apothecary Table. I know he made it out of something he found in the garbage, but I'm confident it can still be called modern, absurd art.

You're referring to the opening scene, right? I thought they were watching the pilot and that they had no idea what to say about any of Joey's acting gigs. I was convinced that this was the case when Joey asked them what they thought about the show.

But does anyone know what dirty rice is?

No need to, though.

Well, as soon as the jester gave her the runaround, she gave Joey a look, and he went off alone to deal with the boss.

And did you take the whole bed or just a receipt?

If Monica doesn't trust the employees at the Mattress King, then she shouldn't give them their bed back, especially since they have hers.

She didn't - she brought Joey along to kick ass for her.

Not in Season 3 he wouldn't.

Could be could be.

Or maybe Gary's surname is nothing like King.

Indeed. :)

Ooh ooh, Phoebe, Monica, and Red Ross versus all seven Tribbiani girls!

Tell that to Joey & Chandler, who not only let them have the apartment back, but then went *immediately* to their individual bedrooms...

Yeah, and he could do piratical gangster impressions... ;)

Check.

I dunno, maybe he's not very good at picking girls up, but given the right circumstances they happily come to him?

That's my guess, but I'm staying hopeful.

61096/MR/Monica catching Ross in the eighth grade version of the routine.

Oh that. He gave Phoebe a godawful ceramic fruit bowl that he made out of a fruit bowl he found in the garbage. He never claimed it was pottery. :)

No - it's clearly a further episode of "Mac & Cheese".

Nuff said.

We've already got Monica getting her hickey, but okay.

I thought this was in TV studio, until the database said otherwise.

Do we detect a Pizza Hut tendency about Ross & matrimony, Marita?

Meanwhile, nobody has found any TWWWS's in 211...

What Ross would have said if Carol had been proposing to him. The much scarier movie 'Silence of the Ducks'. Ugly Naked Guy playing a smaller instrument than a cello.

But the English and the rest of us do that a lot. :)

Is it the same as wild rice?

Sure, but angry customers can do lots of crazy things, believe me.

Because she had to stay there and keep an eye on the bed... j/k

I've seen it at the place where I work where I'm one of the people dealing with people complaining about products they have bought in our store. Some of our customers have brought *huge* products to the store demanding store credit or a new product, when all we can do is repair it. People will not be content with just a plain "no" just because they signed some form. (Or didn't in Monica's case.)

The easiest thing for Monica would be to show up and demand an explanation and the correct bed right away. Demanding to speak with the boss (aka the King in this case) is one way of doing it, and if the Mattress King had any concerns about his store's reputation he would have apologised right away and given her the right bed.

Natch. :)

Sure, but if their parents own a chain of stores they can have their children in charge, right? I didn't mention his last name at all here.... ;)

And they dedicated the episode title TOW The Ultimate Fighting Champion to Pete of all people. What would this episode be called then? :)

Clearly a guy-thing. I wouldn't know. :)

Hehe. Rachel would drool all over him. :)

I think the conclusion must be that if a lot of liquor is involved, Chandler is the stud who gets the chicks. ;)

Nora saying her maiden name (to find out if she really is half Swedish)

No, but Chandler did. :)

Ok. :)

<g> Nothing spoiled, though.

It's a tough one from the uncut version of 501 TO After Ross Says Rachel:

Rachel: Ross said my name. Okay? My name. Monica: How did you get in here? Rachel: If anybody asks, I'm your sister, Joan. Listen. C'mon, you guys. Ross said my name up there that obviously means that he still loves me!

Seems like it. And yet he thought he'd only see Joey at Burger King if the gang ever "broke up". If he loves Pizza Hut that much, you'd think it would be more likely that they would bump into each other there.

Which reminds me...

Ross bumping into Joey at Burger King Ross meeting Chandler only at college reunions

As opposed to her wearing her "I {heart} Ross" sandwich board and ringing her bell.

I hope you mean Pete the Weeper and not Pete Becker!!!

But there's not much more to him/her, right?

We'd need to splurge on some special effects for this one. I see it in Matrix-style slo-mo.

Hmm ... so now we have two Olympic events the Friends could actually have won. Any more?

Didn't we see Abby??? At the birthday party, right?

When was this?

Weren't the cups right in front of him? We saw them!

Oop, missed this one out in my other post (but when was it exactly?)

Don't you believe Phoebe?

Do we still think Ross even gets a tree?

Ooooh! Good call!

Hmmm, who would he have been calling at that time?

Or, of course, Yemen. No wait, we did see that ...

(Which was, oddly, a very affecting scene for me. YMMV.)

Can anyone who's a fan of Joey+Phoebe give a canonical listing of all the hints about them? I remember how I used to devour every possible hint that C+M would get together, before it happened.

We did see Rachel in her Prom dress.

That was to break Chandler, not get his attention.

Nope, except to say "her".

Oh yes, especially since you'd need two Rosses.

The other one is a bit weird. Joey hums 'Here Come the Bride' and Phoebe says "Oh, the Olympics." possibly remembering a TV sports theme tune.

Did we? Where?

The end of "TOW Two parts" - we got the Spanish dubbed version.

They were breast-shaped, but they didn't have nipples on them, possibly because it would be too dangerous.

Here's a clue: "�Mira, mira, el viejo desnudo est� haciendo el hula hoop!"

We only have her side of the story, Ursula might beg to differ.

I dunno, have we seen a tree at his apartment lately?

I dunno, that's what we'd find out. Do you have any ideas?

No we didn't, but that's another goodie!

Gunther's okay.

I'm compiling Ross+Phoebe hints.

Now I think I may have confused her with Betty ("Oh, you found Betty!", "Did you see Betty yet?") but I'm still sure we've seen a bald chick at a party (most likely Phoebe's).

Or because Phoebe Sr hadn't started supplying crockery to Central Perk yet.

Oh this one's just unfair!

You're fair, Ill give you that!

Well, we saw him get on the plane. (Yes, I'm counting eaving the departure lounge as "getting on the plane".)

:-) I was referring to the scene in Titanic, where the plates cascade off the shelf. That, and when the band came back to play were the highpoints for me (the plates just because that scene was beautiful).

A crown and a stick with ball on it, I guess.

I don't think it means exposing their breasts, just the curve under their clothing would be sufficient. The significant part is getting other people's attention. This eliminates cases where they already have someone's attention, such as Phoebe getting out of tickets.

Nice idea that Phoebe Abbott would make them, but they'd fall over. I guess she could make special underliners with an oval opening...

It's the ending of 116/117 "TOW Two Parts".

Thanks. If you watch the twins at Riff's, it's Ursula who comes over as the more naive one. I would not normally go by a performance, but in this case they were both played by the same actress.

Well, I'm thinking about when he arrives.

Yeah, and the people lay down to die.

Okay, let's have Brian wishing he was in Chandler's league.

A certain zoo had acquired a very rare species of gorilla. Within a few weeks the gorilla, a female, became very ornery, and difficult to handle. Upon examination, the zoo veterinarian determined the problem: she was in heat. What to do? There was no male of this species available.

While reflecting on their problem, the zoo administrators noticed Stanley, an employee responsible for cleaning the animals' cages. Now Stanley, it was rumoured, possessed ample ability to satisfy any female, and he wasn't very bright. So the zoo administrators thought they might have a solution.

Perhaps they could entice Stanley to satisfy the female gorilla.

So he was approached with a proposition: would he be willing to have sex with the gorilla - for five hundred pounds? Stanley replied that he might be interested, but would have to think the matter over.

The following day, Stanley announced that he would accept their offer, but only under three conditions:

"First," he said, "I don't want to have to kiss her."

"Second, I want nothing to do with any offspring that may result from this union."

The zoo administration quickly acceded to these conditions, but what could be the third?

"Well," said Stanley, "You've gotta give me another week to come up with the five hundred quid."

Hugh Laurie is fab in this scene. So incredibly British (and I don't mean that in a bad way), and he tells Rachel what the rest of us have been dying to say to her for ages.

In 202 we learned that Monica "borrowed" Rachel's jacket (without permission), and in 212 Monica had Rachel's gloves in her purse, and Rachel didn't know about it. If Monica was able to do that, she could be inclined to do something worse. Maybe her shopping with Julie went a little out of hand?

He's in denial, just like Anne Heche. I'd like to see him walking around in L.A. having no clue what's going on, though. (See? My new year's resolution is already out the window. I wasn't supposed to gossip. And I did walk by a pair of leather pants today that I did not buy. :) )

Intriguing. Monica would freak out... perhaps. (Hopefully, Monica s7 would be around.) However, it would be more fun to see him doing it before he went to London. We already know that the duck and the chick are particularly interested in the trash can (610 TOW The Routine), so the three of them would have been fun to watch.

Phoebe kicking the house maid's snooty ass all the way to New Gloukenshire (BTW, this is in the cut version too, so it counts!) ;)

Shoop, shoop, shoop!

As ever, thanks Marita. :)

That's the one. I just wondered what you thought about hearing Nora's maiden name, and did we ever agree on where the race-car bed ended up?

I will...   :)

I'll take that as a compliment, although I didn't plan on making paste pants in the process...

Which reminds me: Joey making a nice pair of paste pants Joey putting out fires all over the place

If he gave her some hints that she might win the whole Fireball tournament, who knows what Monica would end up allowing him to do.

My point exactly. :)

Oh, IC. :) BTW, have the American fans figured out if the uncut version of 423/424 that I'm referring to is the same as the one on The Best Of Friends video?

And finding Kay to give him his memory back so that he can return for the sequel.

A *big* one for the R+R fans....

I meant that I wanted to see the other girls. All for one, one for all etc.. It would be interesting to hear what Melanie said about Joey, though.

Natch.

Okay, we have to do something about that:

Finding out why Rachel is scared of turtles A magician at Albert's bachelor party Rachel going to lunch with Mark with a thermos The personnel's reacton to 3000 bras Joey dancing with the American Ballet Theatre The whole "The Empty Vase" poem Ross's play date with the stripper Crystal Chandelier

I agree. After watching it again I thought I saw a tenth one on her left shoulder, but I was tricked by the light. She has four bags on her right shoulder, two in her left hand, and three on her left shoulder.

It just seemed like when Phoebe said "I'd recommend you to a friend" she was talking about her friends who were not present in Central Perk at that moment. She was also talking to Monica, Rachel and the others when she said it.

Here are some more:

A bald Barry wearing glasses Mindy's old nose Rachel trying to find a parking space by the psychology building Rachel learning how to tap dance Monica quitting (or getting kicked out of) the dance group More stories from Chandler's diary Emily and Susan going horseback riding in London Ben addressing Ross and Emily's envelopes Emily inviting Earl Grey to her wedding The babies shooting out of Phoebe like they're on a log ride Chandler using Ross's dead body as a shield (tres macabre, I know...) The chick and the duck pecking their way from apartment 20 to 19 Little Monica and little Ross playing the shadow game Chandler drinking Monica's fat Chandler singing his song "Get Up"

There have been clues dropped which you've not noticed... ;)

Of course it's a compliment, and since you don't have fat sweaty man-legs you won't need to make a pair of paste pants. :)

Lol, okay. Did you not get my New Year's resolution paradox?

Lol! Well, yes of course, we must never forget the other side to her nature. And we did see the boys take safety precautions - oven gloves, fire extinguishers, big bucket of Spackle...

Okay, I've changed it.

I dunno, but it's not the same, is it, since there's no new 501.

Yep. What letter would Joey be?

How do you interpret the lesbian hinting?

And how he opens the beer?

Lol

I always get this confused with Amanda in 405 & the stripper in 422.

Oh, that's funny, in her close-up as Rachel says "no no no no" I thought I saw another green bag on her right arm, but I was tricked by the light.

Check. Funny innit, at first sight there are far more than nine purses.

Oh yes, but that's not what I meant...

JOEY: One of you girls come over here and kiss me. MONICA: What, forget it! RACHEL: Yeah, right. JOEY: Come on, I need your help here. PHOEBE: Alright. I'll do it, I kissed him before, I can do it again. JOEY: You see this, this is a friend.

How do you mean?

Can you pep that up a bit?

Oh yes.

lol!

Grin

That has to be Ross since Emily knows

Not at all, I know what you mean.

Lol, Rachel was so great here - and the split in that dress!

Yes, that was my new year's resolution for 2000. It worked very well. :)

It can be the same up until Ross's infamous line, though.

H? (Hungry.. The Hulk.... Hugsy...) V? (Vivisection.. The Vasdeferens... The Vietnam War... V.D...)

What hinting are you referring to in particular?

I thought about putting that one up, but I *really* don't want to see that. :)

It certainly does. Bottom line: It must be (most of) Phoebe's purse collection at the time. I wonder if she had a gold fish in one of them, though.

Ah, gotcha. I can see why Rachel wouldn't kiss him since her boyfriend was there with her, but Monica's beloved wasn't. However, Monica was probably thinking about having a Richard Jr, so kissing Joey wouldn't be that tempting at the time.

New entry...

Pheebs on the subway from Central Park to Central Perk, wearing 9 bags.

Yeah, but they're all good friends so Ross wouldn't mind Rachel kissing Joey as long as it wasn't behind his back. And Monica doesn't have to be tempted, she just has to be a friend.

Could be

Oh I got that, I just want a more involving entry.

Oh - I thought you were asking for more gems like "It was summer, and it was hot. Rachel was there. A lonely gray couch. 'Oh, look,' cried Ned, and then the kingdom was his forever. The end."

Okay.

I wouldn't say that that line was a lesbian hinting, but oh well..

Maybe Willie helped her out?

Do you really think so? I'm not quite sure what to believe, I know it was a different context and all, but...

(From 408 TOW Chandler In A Box) Joey: Back when you and Rachel were together, if Chandler had kissed her, would you hear him out? Ross: That�s a good point. So uh, how long are you gonna punish him?

I'm pretty sure Ross wouldn't have wanted his girlfriend to lock lips with Joey.

Oh ,so did I. I *was* referring to 208 TOW The List, I just couldn't help myself. Chandler's confused memos in the beginning of his relationship with Monica could be just as fun as Nick, Rachel and the gray couch. :)

Yeah, and things can only get better from here..... :P

No, that's the game.. ;)

Now it's my turn to say ewwww.... ;)

Lol! So you think I'm out of line? ;) Don't tell me you weren't thinking of the same thing with your "Tee-hee..." ;)

Ross has obviously written a song called "She Feels Weird Since I've Been Gone" (about Rachel) , and now that it turns out that Rachel doesn't feel this way, Chandler thinks it would be best to rewrite the song.

And Phoebe can be there too. :)

And a couple more things for the list: Rachel making Chandler a legend Ross seeing a psychiatrist The Monica award Chandler and Joey flipping the coin over who gets the moustache and who gets the cigar Little Ben saying secondary caregiver

Hmm, you know what? I give up. The season 1 episodes are airing here at 5 p.m. so I can't get home to watch them, and my tapes are *really* bad. (*coughs* VHS copies *coughs*). <I can't believe I did that...>

Absolutely. But why would he want to be the vicar anyway? He wouldn't be home for hours and Zelda got all the action.. ;)

Couldn't she be thinking of her own (straight) experiences where she has always been the giver?

There are many creeps on the subway. But Phoebe's interpretation of the term "freak" might be different from ours. I'm guessing that perhaps he has known her ever since she was running on the barge. Or maybe he is an old friend of her father that stuck around when her dad went to Burma, no wait, Middletown, no, ...

Well, let's just say he's a gay architect in Chicago. (Three To Tango joke)

Hm.. Could be. But I think Rachel would have a giggling fit.

Damn. Ned... Sorry. Small error there. But Chandler writing about Kathy's new lover and Rachel? Maybe the guy has inherited some talents from his mom. ;) Imagine Monica finding a pad with Chandler's best work... Priceless.

And I just found out that he is on [address]'s Hot 16 list over actors and actresses who'll get their big break in 2001.... I don't have anything against EC, but Tag... 'Nuff said.

How he put it in a context with hockey, I'll never know, but the reason for it can be put on the TWWWS list.

So until something juicer comes up: Joey learning that "vicar" is a goalie who's also a sex-addict.

Once again... I wouldn't know... ;)

Maybe Ursula did. She was the first of the two sisters to walk, so perhaps she was the first, and only, one to run on the barge as well? (Which would be a great scene to watch: Ursula being scolded for running on the barge, while little Phoebe beams with pride since she didn't.)

It's not great. It's actually rather awful.

But her boyfriend wasn't watching her in 511. Her former boyfriend was. However, if Rachel had kissed Chandler in that eppy (before the phone-call), I'm afraid Chandler's self-esteem could have been hurt. She wanted to kiss Joey, she did *not* want to kiss Chandler.

Monica hacking into Chandler's computer to find out if there's really porn there the moment you switch on the computer, only to find his diary and his short stories

Really? You agree?

I won, I won! ;) Why settle for anything less than a Porsche? I don't want Porsche clothes either. And I think a Porsche must be funnier to drive than a Volvo.

Awww, poor Monica. I felt so sorry for her in that eppy.

Why not an Emmy for the Mac and C.H.E.E.S.E series? It is possible that he won a PCA for Favorite Male Performer in a New Television Series. :)

Monica's Greek tragedy from 408 TOW Chandler In A Box would involve the "Moustache Bastard", the on-call doctor and the pirate. (This has got to make the TWWWS list.)

Damn. I'll remember it for the next time, though. ;)

That's a possibility. But Monica was very low-key during several of the episodes in season 4 (e.g. 416), and seemed to be a bit sad. Maybe the writers were preparing her (and us) for the stuff that was about to happen in London...

Natch..   ;)

The series "Normal, Ohio" (don't worry, it won't come to our shores anyway) was cancelled after just a couple of episodes, but the star, John Goodman, did indeed win that prize last week.

The new and updated version of Dangerous Liaisons starring Ryan Phillipe, Reese Witherspoon and Sarah Michelle Gellar. With the world's most famous lesbian kiss. Or something like that.

I know that it's from 710, but I was sure that several people, especially Chandler, would name Richard this even before that incident came up. And I didn't really think of it as a plot spoiler either. We have put worse spoiler-stuff on the list so far... But I'll modify it to "Big Tree", ok? :)
