Joey: C’mon, you’re going out with the guy! There’s gotta be something wrong with him!
Chandler: All right Joey, be nice. So does he have a hump? A hump and a hairpiece?
Phoebe: Wait, does he eat chalk? Just, ‘cause, I don’t want her to go through what I went through with Carl- oh!
Monica: Okay, everybody relax. This is not even a date. It’s just two people going out to dinner and- not having sex.
Chandler: Sounds like a date to me.

Scene 3
RACHEL穿着一件婚纱跑进了咖啡厅,和大家打过招呼以后,她开始讲述自己为什么还没有完成婚礼仪式就一个人跑了出来……
Rachel: Oh God... well, it started about a half hour before the wedding. I was in the room where we were keeping all the presents, and I was looking at this gravy boat. This really gorgeous Lamauge gravy boat. When all of a sudden- (to the waitress that brought her coffee) Sweet’n’Lo?- I realized that I was more turned on by this gravy boat than by Barry! And then I got really freaked out, and that’s when it hit me: how much Barry looks like Mr. Potato Head. Y’know, I mean, I always knew he looked familiar, but... Anyway, I just had to get out of there, and I started wondering “Why am I doing this, and who am I doing this for?” So anyway I just didn’t know where to go, and I know that you and I have kinda drifted apart, but you’re the only person I knew who lived here in the city.
Monica: Who wasn’t invited to the wedding.
Rachel: Ooh, I was kinda hoping that wouldn’t be an issue...
Scene 4
大家鼓励RACHEL,既然离开了未婚夫BARRY,又已经和家里人闹翻,那就要学着真正独立,先从经济上开始,不能再花家里的钱,第一步,就是剪掉所有信用卡……
Monica: C’mon, you can’t live off your parents your whole life.
Rachel: I know that. That’s why I was getting married.
Monica: All right, you ready?
Rachel: No.I don’t think so!
Ross: C’mon, cut. Cut, cut, cut,...
All: Cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut,cut...
(She finishes cutting them up and they all cheer.)
Monica: Welcome to the real world! It sucks. You’re gonna love it!
