Friends702: The One With Rachel’s Book

This is the last Friends episode I have watched. (I’m watching them continously so it’s soon gonna change. :D ) Monica starts to plan their wedding with Chandler but has to face the terrible news that there’s no Monica wedding-fund any more, as her parents turned it into the beach house. Chandler does have the money though, but first he doesn’t want to spend it on “one party”. He changes his mind to make Monica happy but they agree that they want a marriage instead of a big, fancy wedding. Meanwhile, Joey finds a “porn book” on Rachel’s bed. He and Ross keep teasing Rachel with it. Finally, Rachel says, she’s gonna have sex with Joey – he refuses, he’s “scared”. Phoebe has massage clients in Ross’ flats which he doesn’t particularly favour. He accepts a massage client though because he thinks, it’s gonna be a hot lady but turns out to be her dad instead.
What I loved here:
I loved how Chandler and Monica settled their difference in opinions. It was sweet and lifelike – a relationship I’d like to have... The Geller-parents were amazing as usual. They get great lines and the actors are also on the top. Joey’s like a teenager again – the source of his charm. :) And Ross... He makes a stupid mistake as usual. Note. Jennifer Aniston looked amazing. I loved her hair.
Favourite quotes of the episode:
Monica: I don’t know, my hand feels weird. I guess it’s because, I’m engaged! (Shows off the ring.) How long before it starts getting annoying?
Phoebe: It starts?
***
Rachel: Yeah, we got a lot to do! We gotta think about the flowers, the caterers, the music…
Chandler: Oh, I got some thoughts on that.
Rachel: Oh wait Chandler, too many cooks…
***
[Scene: A Classroom, Ross is giving a lecture.]
Ross: And that should conclusively prove that I had the idea for Jurassic Park first!
***
Phoebe: (to the students) Oh, I’m sorry. I’m so rude. Does anyone want to come to the movies?
***
Monica: A jazz trio for cocktails. The Bay City Rollers for dancing. Wait, that was from my sixth grade wedding.
Chandler: Well, you couldn’t get them anyway. Ian doesn’t plan anymore and Derrick… (Off of Rachel and Monica’s looks) And Derrick is a name I shouldn’t know.
***
Chandler: Now, do I get to look at this book or is it just for people who are actually involved in the wedding?
***
Phoebe: Okay, let’s talk outside. (to her client) Joel, Unfortunately this time will be counted as part of your massage so try and (pause) think relaxing thoughts.
Ross: And Joel, Don't touch any of my dinosaurs. I know they're cool but they're mine.
(only in the uncut version)
***
Joey: Where are you going? The vicar won’t be home for hours.
(She comes back out.)
Rachel: Joey, (nervously) where did you learn that word?
***
Mr. Geller: (ignoring her) Well, I’d gotten Judy pregnant. I still don’t know that happened.
Mrs. Geller: (incredulous) You don’t know how that happened?! Your dog thought my diaphragm was a chew toy!
Chandler: What a sweet story.
Monica: Well, at least you’re not hearing it for the first time at your fifth grade Halloween party.
Mr. Geller: What?! They wanted a scary story!
***
Rachel: Well what happened at dinner?
Monica: My parents spent the money for our wedding!
Phoebe: (gasps) My God! What did you order?!
***
Monica: Honey, umm I-I love you, (laughs) but umm, if you call our wedding a party one more time, you may not get invited.
***
Ross: So I guess you bought that book after we broke up huh?
Rachel: Uh-huh, yeah I did, because I wore out my first copy when I was with you. (Exits.)
Ross: (chases her) Oh yeah, yeah? Well uh, when we were going out, I read tons of porno magazines! (Realizes a table of women overheard him.) (To that table.) ‘Sup?
Phoebe: (entering) Ross! How could you do that to an old man?!
Ross: (looking at the table) Excuse me ladies. (To Phoebe) I’m sorry?
***
Monica: Listen umm, I’ve been thinking, it’s not fair for me to ask you to spend all of your money on our wedding. I mean, you work, you work really hard for that.
Chandler: Ehh.
Monica: Eh, you work for that.
Chandler: Look, I thought about it too, and I’m sorry. I think we should spend all of the money on the wedding.
Monica: You do?!
Chandler: Yeah, I’m putting my foot down. Yeah look, when I proposed I told you that I would do anything to make you happy, and if having the perfect wedding makes you happy then, then that’s what we’re gonna do.
***
Rachel: Yeah! Ohh, I’ve been waitin’ so long to get on that body!
Joey: This body?
