(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 purse, y\'know? 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.
You can see where he\'d have trouble:Apparently, we can tell that Rach\'s dad made fun of Rach\'s metaphor by saying "buy her a hat", and pretended that he didn\'t know what Rach was talking about. But what\'s even worse is that Rach didn\'t get her dad\'s little trick either.So she yelled at the phone that "It\'s a metaphor,Daddy!". Once she realized how rude and unladily(adj.不淑女的) she was just now, her eyes met with Ross\'s, which made Ross rather embarrassing. So he ended up saying that "You can see where he\'d have trouble." That means "you can see misunderstanding your metaphor is where he\'d have trouble to communicate with you smoothly.
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...
Well, I guess we\'ve established who\'s staying here with Monica:Monica has no idea why Rachel said that. But she can\'t just abandon Rach at this critical time, so when her friends turned to her for a verification(n.确认), she can\'t think of nothing to say except that: "Well, it seems to Rachel that I have already agreed on the whole moving in thing( that is established an agreement on her moving in), although I have nothing to do with it!!(Don\'t look at me in this weird way, guys!)"
Rachel: Well, maybe that\'s my decision. Well, maybe I don\'t need your money. Wait!! Wait, I said maybe!!
(Time Lapse, Rachel is breathing into a paper bag.)
Monica: Just breathe, breathe.. that\'s it. Just try to think of nice calm things...
calm adj.平静的
Phoebe: (sings) Raindrops on roses and rabbits and kittens, (Rachel and Monica turn to look at her.) bluebells and sleighbells and- something with mittens... La la la la...something and noodles with string. These are a few...

The music for "My Favorite Things" was composed by Richard Rodgers, and the lyrics were written by Oscar Hammerstein II. In the musical, the lyrics to the song are a litany(n.冗长而枯燥的事) of things that Maria loves, such as "raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens." These are the things she selects to fill her mind with when times get bad and sad.The wintertime imagery(n.比喻) of some of the lyrics has made "My Favorite Things" a popular song during the Christmas season, and it often appears on holiday-themed albums and compilations, although in the show and movie it is sung during a summer thunderstorm.

Monica: Okay, look, this is probably for the best, y\'know? Independence. Taking control of your life.

Joey: (comforting her) And hey, you need anything, you can always come to Joey. Me and Chandler live across the hall. And he\'s away a lot.
