I finally did the first pass on the episode and I have a first draft, but I need some help with parts I didn't understand: (the time tells where in the episode the line happens)(obviously)

(3:15 minutes) - Mike says "You can't keep a rat in your appartment! They're extremely unsanitary, the transmit ??? and ???"

(3:55 minutes) - Rachel says "Well, when we first met, you know, I thought you were ??? and errogant and obnoxious ..."

(4:50 minutes) - Rachel says "Stop looking at my ass! I mean, I just think you are totally inappropriate, I mean this is a working environment, she's your ???"

(6:10) - Monica: "Would you stop staring at her?" Chandler: "I wasn't staring. I was ???"

(8:10) ph: What are you doing? mike: Setting rat traps. phoebe: To kill Bob?? mike: No, no, to test ???

(9:40) chan: Is this really your long term plan, for me to ??? interference? Because I can get a job. And ???. ross: You do appear running ???? .

I appreciate if you could help me with those parts ...

Thank you! That was so quick ... :-D Can you just explain to me what that line means: "you do appear running right on the cusp of something"?

Roni

Without the "running", just "you do appear on the cusp of something". Ross uses this expression ironically, implying that Chandler has already found something of interest.

The literal translation would be "the point at which different branches of an arc intersect." In astrology the idea is taken to a figurative sense as the cusp is the point in the month where one zodiac sign transitions to the next sign.

So, Chandler, although he might not have found a job yet, appears to be at that point of transition between not having a job and finding one. So, "on the verge" is a very good alternative.

they transmit leptospirosis and hantavirus.

(It took some time searching on Google to get the spelling of those correct. As Mike says they are a desease and virus found in rat droppings.)

pompous and arrogant

this is a work environment. She's your subordinate.

leering

to test his neck strength

for me to run interference, because I could get a job any day now? You do appear right on the cusp of something.
