Things at Chandler and Joey's
aren't really going well, as all they've managed to obtain since the robbery is
a set of rusty patio furniture, which don't really compliment the canoe.
Chandler finds some solace in Rachel's boss Joanna, with whom he sleeps.
Rachel is not too thrilled about this, especially since he previously agreed to set it up and then broke up with her. Rachel fears that this relationship can get too complicated without ending with serious consequences which could jeopardize her job position, so she demands Chandler to break it up. This falls on deaf ears, however, and Chandler and Joanna end up making out in her office. Joanna is suddenly called into a meeting with her boss, which she leaves for, leaving Chandler half-naked and locked in her office, handcuffed to her office chair. This Chandler does not appreciate at all, especially when Rachel and Sophie end up unlocking the door and walking in on him. He asks Rachel for help in escaping the office. Rachel doesn't agree to this as in doing so, Joanna will know that she has total access to her office. Chandler agrees to remain locked when Rachel promises him to pass on a rumor that will make him a male legend with the ladies (a promise which lasts two hours, when Joey blows the rumor off).

In desperate need of money,
Monica agrees to cater a party her mother's having, with Phoebe's help. When
she asks for the reason of such employment, her mother indirectly reveals that
she thinks that Monica is good at her job. Unfortunately, Monica contradicts
her mother some time later, when she drops a fingernail in one of the quiches
she prepared. This turns out to be pretty bad, not only because of the cuisine
fiasco but also because the occurrence of it spurs Monica's mother in pulling
out lasagnas from the freezer and revealing to Monica that she had a bet with
her father that she'd screw up. Monica is deeply depressed by this and walks
out of the kitchen. Phoebe finds her in her old bedroom, which is now a gym,
and encourages her not to lose self-faith and prepare something else herself
instead of serving the lasagnas. This Monica does, preparing casserole and
keeping the lasagnas unserved. Much to her pleasure, her mother is impressed by
this and pleads guilty to the crime of not believing in her daughter.
Busy with the tedious job of
removing gum from the patio furniture, Joey is interrupted in the middle of the
day by a door-to-door encyclopedia salesman. Joey, who has never shown much
interest in books, is yearning for knowledge that brings him on par with his
friends' difficult subjects, so he lets the salesman in. A few basic questions
asked by the salesman is all that is needed to show that Joey is not smart,
which is the critical point the salesman uses to sell the encyclopedia to Joey,
who starts really digging in the V volume. When the salesman reveals the price
of the entire set to be $1200, Joey laughs in his face, thinking he's stupid
for believing that an unemployed man with only patio furniture at home has that
kind of money. When he starts showing his possessions to the salesman, however,
Joey finds a $50 note in his pocket, enough to buy him a book. He sticks with
the V volume, but when he starts to pursue subjects containing words starting
with V, such as the Vietnam war, the friends find it hard to play along and
change the subject to the Korean war, about which Joey knows absolutely
nothing.
Phương pháp học tiếng anh qua phim hiệu quả:
– Lần 1: Xem KHÔNG phụ đề. Đến đoạn nào quá khó hiểu, không thể hiểu bạn nên tua lại xem. Nếu vẫn không hiểu hãy dừng hình và để ý hình ảnh và thử đoán.
– Lần 2: Xem với phụ đề và ghi chú lại những từ/cụm từ/cấu trúc bạn cho là hay. HAY ở đây là gì? Đó là những cách dùng mà bạn không tưởng, đó là văn nói, khác hẳn văn viết mà bạn thường gặp. Có một cuốn từ điển bên cạnh và một quyển sổ sẽ là công cụ tốt giúp bạn hiểu và ghi nhớ.
– Lần 3: Xem lại với không phụ đề. Không nhất thiết là ngay lúc đó, vì có thể bạn thấy hơi nản khi ngồi xem quá nhiều lần. Hãy để nó sau 2-3 ngày xem lại và xem những gì mình đã học còn được bao nhiêu.
