    video clip #1 in order.

    9: In the episode, the friends are guessing what the characters are saying during a
    Spanish soap opera. The students will watch another clip. They will watch with no

    will watch again, and then write a dialogue. Present a few. Time permitting. Finally,
    we will watch with sound and check the predictions.
    Discuss the following questions in pairs.

    • Do you have any childhood friendships that are still strong today? Describe
    them.
    • How many «best friends» do you have? Do you prefer to have many
    friends or a few close friends?
    • What do you usually do with your friends? Are there any strange or special
    activities that you do with your friends?
    • There is a proverb that says, "A friend in need is a friend in deed." Do you
    agree?

    Video Clip #1

    Ross: I don't want to be single, okay? I just... I just- I just wanna be married again!

    Chandler: And I just want a million dollars! (He extends his hand hopefully.)

    Monica: Rachel?!

    Rachel: Oh God, Monica, hi! Thank God! I just went to your building and you weren't
    there and then this guy with a big hammer said you might be here and you are, you
    are!

    Waitress: Can I get you some coffee?

    Monica: (pointing at Rachel) Decaf. (to All) Okay, everybody, this is Rachel, another
    Lincoln High survivor. (to Rachel) This is everybody, this is Chandler, and Phoebe,
    and Joey, and- you remember my brother Ross?

    Rachel: Hi, sure!

    Ross: Hi.

    (They start to hug, but Ross's umbrella opens. He sits back down again. A moment
    of silence follows as Rachel sits, and the others expect her to explain.)

    Monica: So you wanna tell us now, or are we waiting for four wet bridesmaids?

    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 Limoge 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?’ (To Monica) 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...

    Video Clip #2

    [Scene: Monica's Apartment, everyone is there and watching a Spanish soap opera
    on TV and are trying to figure out what is going on.]

    Monica: Now, I'm guessing that he bought her the big pipe organ, and she's really
    not happy about it.

    Chandler: (imitating the characters) Tuna or egg salad? Decide!

    Ross: (in a deep voice) I'll have whatever Christine is having.

    Rachel: (on phone) Daddy, I just... I can't marry him! I'm sorry. I just don't love him.
    Well, it matters to me!

    Phoebe: If I let go of my hair, my head will fall off.

    Chandler: (TV) Ooh, she should not be wearing those pants.

    Joey: I say push her down the stairs.

    Phoebe, Ross, Chandler, and Joey: Push her down the stairs! Push her down the
    stairs! Push her down the stairs!

    (She is pushed down the stairs and everyone cheers.)

    Rachel: C'mon Daddy, listen to me! It's like, it's like, all of my life, everyone has
    always told me, 'You're a shoe! You're a shoe, you're a shoe, you're a shoe!'. And
    today I just stopped and I said, 'What if I don't wanna be a shoe? What if I wanna be
    a- a purse, y'know? Or a- or a hat! No, I'm not saying I want you to buy me a hat, I'm
    saying I am a ha- It's a metaphor, Daddy!

    Ross: You can see where he'd have trouble.

    Rachel: Look Daddy, it's my life. Well maybe I'll just stay here with Monica.

    Monica: Well, I guess we've established who's staying here with Monica...

    Rachel: Well, maybe that's my decision. Well, maybe I don't need your money.
    Wait!! Wait, I said maybe!!
