1.19 The One Where the Monkey Gets Away

Rachel finds out Barry is engaged to Mindy, her former bridesmaid;

she begins to show interest in dating again, so Ross decides to ask her out.

However, before he gets the chance, she loses Marcel while monkey-sitting, which
temporarily drives a wedge between them.

Mr. Heckles is missing a waffle and saw Regis Philbin once.

Rachel, not knowing Marcel is a illegal exotic animal, calls Animal Control;

the animal-catcher turns out to be Luisa, who went to high-school with Monica
and Rachel.

Luisa’s memories of high school aren’t favorable toward Rachel, so she decides
not to cut them any breaks.

While looking for Marcel, Joey and meet some hot girls (Samantha and Tia) with a
broken radiator.

Luisa tries to shoot Marcel with a tranquilizer but hits Phoebe instead.

A delivery of bananas leads everyone to Mr. Heckles apartment;

he claims the monkey as his own until Luisa shows up.

Rachel pleads with(v.向…恳求) Luisa to let Ross keep Marcel, but it’s only
the threat of reporting her for shooting Phoebe that convinces her.

Ross and Rachel finally sit down for some wine, but before Ross can ask Rachel
out, Barry barges in, saying he’s still in love with her.

[Scene: Central Perk, Rachel is talking to a customer.]

Rachel: Okay, okay, I checked. We have: Earl Grey, English Breakfast,
Cinnamon Stick, Camomile, Mint Medley, Blackberry, and.. oh, wait, there’s one
more, um.. Lemon Soother. You’re not the guy that asked for the tea, are you?
(Guy shakes his head) Okay.

瑞秋给一个客人端上了茶,她想考验自己的记忆,把一个一个茶名说来:伯爵茶(Earl

Breakfast 是指英国早餐红茶;Cinnamon Stick 则是指肉桂茶;Camomile 是指甘菊茶;Mint
Medley 是薄荷混合茶,Blackberry 是黑莓茶:Lemon
Soother 则是将柠檬和药草混合的一种安神茶。尽管瑞秋将这一系列繁复的茶名都记住了,但却记错了顾客/Earl

Closing Credits

[Scene: Central Perk, Monica, Joey, Phoebe, and are looking through Monica’s
high school yearbook]

Monica: This is me in The Sound of Music. See the von Trapp kids?

Von Trapp
莫尼卡给大家展示高中毕业年鉴中她的照片,并说这是她在出演《音乐之声》时拍的。莫尼卡问菲比有没有看到剧中冯特拉普(Von
Trapp)一家的孩子,菲比说没有,莫尼卡说那是因为我在前面。莫尼卡在中学里是以肥胖出名的,所以钱德勒开玩笑说:“天哪,我还以为那是阿尔卑斯山。”《音乐之声》中一家人就是从阿尔卑斯山逃走的/The
Sound of Music is a musical with music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Oscar
Hammerstein II, and a book by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse. It is based on
the memoir(n.回忆录) of Maria von Trapp, The Story of the Trapp Family Singers.
Songs from the musical that have become standards include “The Sound of Music”,
“Edelweiss”, “My Favorite Things”, “Climb Ev’ry Mountain”, and “Do-Re-Mi”.The
original Broadway production opened in November 1959, and the show has enjoyed
numerous productions
and revivals since then. It has also been made into an
Academy Award-winning 1965 movie musical. The Sound of Music was the final
musical written by Rodgers and Hammerstein; Hammerstein died of cancer nine
months after the Broadway premiere.

Maria Augusta von Trapp (née Kutschera; – ) was the stepmother and
matriarch(n.女家长) of the Trapp Family Singers. Her story and that of her
family’s escape from the Nazis after the Anschluss was the inspiration for the
musical The Sound of Music.

Phoebe: Nope.

Monica: That’s because I’m in front of them.

: Eh. I thought that was an alp.

alp n.高山/Alps n.阿尔卑斯山

Monica: Well, high school was not my favourite time.

Joey: I dunno, I loved high school. Y’know? It was just four years of
parties and dating and sex.

: Yeah, well I went to boarding school with four hundred boys. Any sex I had
would’ve involved a major lifestyle choice.

boarding school n.寄宿学校

Monica: Gosh, doesn’t it seem like a million years ago?

Phoebe: Oh. Oooh! Ooh! Ooh! (She stands up and starts to dance around) Ooh!
My butt cheek is waking up! Oooh! Ooh!
