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 fiancée
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

this dictum doesn't work. Both boyfriends reveal unexpected poisitve
points and in the end, they both dump Phoebe.

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

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

himself too.

Actually the speed time goes on US soaps a year wouldn't pass in less than 5
real life years. They still manage to fit in a christmas every December
though, and it only ever feels like it was last Christmas a few days ago, in
their lives :)

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.

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.

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. :(

They're just attention-grabbing gimmicks, though.

Oh, that was implied in the dialogue - Ralph Lauren makes wedding dresses

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...

After the fab 606 TO On The Last Night last year, our expectations
were just too high.
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.
From 122 TOW The Ick Factor
Phoebe: Ooh, oh, I´ve gotta go. [raises] Whoa, oh, head rush. One
more, and then I have to go. [sits down, and then raises again] Cool!
(BTW, I must point out a small in-joke here. I don't know if anybody
has mentioned this before, but if you take a closer look, Monica is
reading InStyle Magazine when Rachel enters Central Perk. And in that
very issue there was an interview with a certain Matthew Perry saying
that Chandler was going to marry Monica soon. Not much, I know, but I
thought it was funny. )

Maybe Hilda would have laughed at her if she had indeed hired Hilda.

Fortunately, Ross and Chandler went to Disneyland and not Disney
World. Space Mountain is ten times worse in Florida than in
California. IMO. The one in CA isn't that bad, it's mostly going
round and round in circles (which, I know, is bad enough after ten (!)
tacos ), but the one in Disney World is faster, darker and much
scarier!
Anyway, Chandler shouldn't be so upset. Spouses can't share
everything.

This seemed like a copy of last year's 609 TOW Ross Got High, but
because the secrets were so hilarious, it worked anyway.
Just the thought of Chandler and Ross in a Vanilla Ice look-a-like
contest cracked me up. :)
And Chandler's darkest secret was once again related to him "being
gay", but this time it worked. :)

Poor Ross. But he knows that women share almost everything, so...

Well, maybe Kim and Rachel bonded after Kim revealed her affair with
Kenny the copy guy.
And the woman who plays Kim is on another TV-show right now (IIRC,
Bette on CBS), so having Rachel promoted was perhaps a natural choice
for the writers.

Well, we have already talked about this in another thread, but I'd say

Exactly Marita, but those who won't continue reading because they

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. :)

Yeah - MLB played that superbly, but Joey was betraying the same foolish

That's the good thing about his character, being in a dodgy profession

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.

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.

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.

No, not at all. It was more of an average episode. And 703 was so
great, so it's not fair to compare those two either.
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.)

Yeah. And I kind of get the feeling that the actors in Hollywood put

makes it funnier to watch.

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.)

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

Space Mountain and knew what they were talking about. :)

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.

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.

Indeed so, and that's for one client who has a one hour session every

the transcript says "eight dollars", which I'm sure is wrong.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

all have different fathers, one of whom is Joey...

Lol! I see a new fantasy episode coming up...

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)

was much funnier.
I'd like to see Nic Cage, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu on the show.

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. :)

Hehe, no.
What can I say? TWINE wasn't the best 007 movie ever... It's easy to
forget it. Sophie Marceau's earrings were pretty cool, though, as well
as Bond jumping down on the Millennium Dome.
Dr Christmas Jones, however, has to be one of THE dumbest Bond babes
ever.
I think "Beyond The Ice" will be much better.

Yep, starring Catherine Zeta-Dougla$ as a female MI6 agent and Kevin
Spacey as the bad guy. I can't wait to see Spacey, 'cause he was so
good in The Usual Suspects. (And American Beauty of course).

Yes, she had to wear them, because they hid the wounds she got when
she was kidnapped by Renard, the bad guy.

Hopefully, she can add something new to the Bond-babe genre. I think
it would have been cool with a female lead in a 007-flick that didn't
end up in Bond's bed.

Se7en - one of the creepiest bad guys ever. :)
L.A. Confidential - Good, but Russell Crowe was so much cooler. and he
survived too.
I haven't seen A Bug's Life.
I still think that The Usual Suspects is one of his best flicks. As
for American Beauty, I just hope that there will be no shower scene in
the next Bond movie.

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

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).

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. ;)

It's very unfair to compare Spacey with the likes of Crowe. Come on, have
you *seen* "Gladiator"??? The DVD is totally awesome...
> I haven't seen A Bug's Life.
He just does the voice for the villain, but he's *very* good.

I agree. They are going to make a sequel to that movie where she's
supposed to be involved in more action scenes. I think it's called
"Zorro Unmasked" or something like that.
I don't think it's very likely that there will be another barn scene
in the Bond flick, though. (I guess you were hoping for that. ;) )

Oh, I've seen Gladiator, and I'm willing to bet quite a lot that he'll
get an Oscar nod for that part.
I guess you have the DVD with the special features?
Spacey is a totally different kind of actor. I think he's great, but
it was his part in L.A. Confidential that made him sort of a wuss
compared to Crowe's tough "real" cop.
But Spacey seems more likeable in real life than Crowe. (I'm not Meg
Ryan, so...)

A 50 minute historical documentary, a 25 minute making-of documentary,
audio commentary by Ridley Scott, 20 minutes of deleted scenes, DTS

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... ;)

Ooh, when was Maximus supposed to fight a rhino?
I heard that they were supposed to have a Roman legion coming into the
arena at the end, but they didn't have any money left. That's a shame,
because I'd rather watch another 20 minutes of Gladiator than two
hours of Runaway Bride (ugh!).

The garage door *laughs*.
Nowadays I can only think of the hilarious spoof in Scary Movie
involving the garage door. And the weed, of course. :)
But Marilyn Manson's girlfriend being cut in half was funny as well..

There must be lots more. How about...

Phoebe would have made the puppets in 423 for the others to take, but

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, 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.

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

Not really. They were an ongoing set of awards from when I first

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?

Now I think I may have confused her with Betty ("Oh, you found

Monica spying on Phoebe eating a cheeseburger.
Monica's job where she can wear a wedding dress all the time.
Phoebe at one of Duncan's Academy Award parties.

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.

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.

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

She was whinging about Stephanie in 206 "TOW the Baby on the Bus"...
PHOEBE: And he's going to be paying this woman? Why doesn't he just give
her like a throne, and a crown, and like a, you know, gold stick
with a ball on top.
It would be interesting if this is where her lust for tiaras originated,
if it wasn't that she first mentioned them in the previous episode.

I noticed her for the first time in 624 TOW The Proposal where she let

episode in the 7th season as well. (And that wasn't a plot spoiler,

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..

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...

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.

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

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

to pull, but Chandler got some serious tongue-throat action...
> Ms ??? Green decorating her dad's condo with wicker
Rachel's sister is heard in the full-length 302 "TOW No-one's Ready" in

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

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.

You're referring to the opening scene, right? I thought they were

Joey's acting gigs. I was convinced that this was the case when Joey
asked them what they thought about the show.

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.

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.

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...

I know what you mean, but it doesn't apply to Chandler here. He just
didn't like being told he couldn't do something he didn't want to do
if had wanted to do which he didn't want to do.

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."

He has no trouble with bras per se, just bras on breasts.

Poor Phoebe misses another trip, and just before her sacrifice, too.

This predicates the previous one.

He only sat on a bed - oh, gotcha now... ;)

What? <asks database> OIC - lol

Lol, he was brilliant, played by the great English actor/writer/comedian
Hugh Laurie - "I'm sorry, can I interrupt? You know, I just want to say
that you are a horrible, horrible person. You say you love this man, yet
you're about to ruin the happiest day of his life. I'm afraid I have to
agree with your friend Pheebs. This is a.. this is a.. terrible, terrible
plan. He loves this-this Emily person. No good can come of this. And by
the way, it seems to be perfectly clear that you were on a break."

They bought them from the gift shop really, though.

That was dishonest of him - bad karma for what followed.

Oh yes, I'm sure he's very good with her, like Chandler & Marcel.

Super biggy - or even better Chandler secretly buying the sweater in
advance then slipping the sales assistant another $100 to let him
give his girlfriend a naughty thrill.

Yeah - that was as pathetic as learning to type just to be with her.

Joey returned $812 he owed, so Chandler quipped that he didn't know what
Big Leon told him but it was an even thousand for the whole night. Then
Ross told a guy to back off since Rachel was a waitress not a geisha.
