好吧，我可以等一天再笑。嘿，你周五要干嘛？

为什么这样问？
Chandler: I need you to come to this bachelor party for my weird cousin Albert, y'know he's the botanist.
你得来参加我怪堂哥艾伯特的告别单身派对。你知道，他是植物学家。

天。你知道，植物学家都是书呆子。

嗯？对啊。

早。瑞秋，我带包包来了！

找钥匙就得找老半天吧。
Rachel:Thank you, thank you, thank you, Pheebs.
谢谢，谢谢，谢谢，菲比。

不客气，哦，千万不要选这个有乌龟的。

不，不，不，不要乌龟，会吓到我。我今天更不能用。
Ross: Honey, just relax, it's gonna be fine. Hey, umm,. why don't I come down there and I'll take you out to lunch?
亲爱的，放松点，一切都会好的。嘿，嗯。不如我过来和你一起吃午饭？
Rachel: Oh honey, thank you, but Mark's taking me out.
亲爱的，谢谢。但是马克约了我出去。
Ross: Mark is that ah, the same Mark that helped you get the job?
马克是那个，嗯，那个帮你找到工作的马克？
Rachel: Yeah, it's kinda like a 'good luck on your first day' sort of thing. Is this actually a lunchbox?
对，算是祝我工作顺利之类的。这是午餐盒吗？

嗯，不，这是个包。还有个热水瓶在里面。

哦。
Chandler:Hey, so can you make it on Friday?
嘿，所以你周五能来吗？
Ross: What? Oh yeah, yeah I think so. Why am I invited to this again?
什么？可以，我想可以吧。可是为什么要邀请我？
Chandler: Well apparently Albert has no friends. He's very excited about the bachelor party though. I think actually the only reason he's getting married is so he can see a stripper.
显然艾伯特没有朋友。他对告别单身派对充满期待。我想他是为了看脱衣舞娘才结婚的。
Phoebe: A stripper at a bachelor party, that is so clich? Why don't you get a magician?!
请脱衣舞娘参加告别单身派对，真是老套？为什么不请个魔术师？！
Chandler: Well, if the magician can open my beer with his but cheeks, then all right.
如果魔术师可以用臀部给我开啤酒，那就行。
