Try, "Extra! Extra! Read all about it!" No.
Monica's restaurant got a horrible review in the "Post.
" Oh, no! I didn't want her to see it, so I ran around and bought all the copies.
This is bad.
And I've had bad reviews.
I remember my first good one: "Everything else in "Our Town" was terrible.
Joey Tribbiani was abysmal.
" Oh, my God! Look at all the newspapers.
It must be a good review.
Is it great? Oh, dear God.
But the good news is, no one in a two-block radius will ever know.
- And the rest of Manhattan? - They all know.
Oh, my God, this is horrible.
I'm so humiliated.
They say there's no such thing as bad press.
You don't think that "the mahi-mahi was awful-awful" is bad press? I didn't write it.
- God, is he right? Am I awful? - Oh, no! Monica, listen to me.
I'm not just saying this because I'm your friend.
Your food is abysmal! The One with the Cooking Class mrnch@dh.

Did you like me when we first met? Chandler, I'm not gonna lie to you.
But I am gonna run away from you.
Hi.
I'm Monica Geller, chef at Allessandro's.
Still? The things you said were unfair and I want you to try my bouillabaisse again.
I don't see why I'd do that to myself again.
Either eat it or be in it.
Spoon? - What do you think? - I'm torn between my integrity and my desire to avoid a beating.
But I must be honest.
Your soup is abysmal.
Thattagirl! We should get out of here, there's a new class coming in.
Welcome to Introduction to Cooking.
Can anyone tell me the difference between hollandaise and bearnaise sauce? - I can.
- Okay, go ahead.
Well they both have a egg yolk and butter base.
But a bearnaise has shallots, chervil, and most importantly, tarragon.
Very good.
What's your name? - You go to the head of the class! - Okay! This stuff takes up a lot of room.
How serious are you about keeping Ben in your life? My son? Pretty serious.
Hi, Katie.
What are you doing here? The delivery went out and they forgot this.
It must have been obvious, since it was the only thing left in your store.
Listen, to be honest, home deliveries aren't really part of my job description.
Oh, I actually came here to ask you out.
Oh.
Wow.
Yeah, that sounds great.
I'm just gonna put this back in my pocket and pretend that didn't happen.
I'm free now.
You want to get coffee? - Sure.
- Horny bitch.
No, you're a horny bitch! No, you're a horny bitch! No, you're a horny bitch! You guys have a good time.
I'm just gonna grab my coat.
And my whip.
You know, because of Indiana Jones.
Not because I'm into S & M.
I'm not into anything weird, you know? Just normal sex.
So I'm gonna grab my coat.
So you had a good day, huh? Big commission, picked up a daddy.
Are you okay with this? Oh, yeah.
Yeah, please.
You guys have fun.
- Okay.

Nice to see you.

And you look fantastic.
- Although you missed a button.
- Oh, actually, I Oh, okay, I see what you're doing there.
I can't even believe this.
I really come off that badly? It's okay.
You calm down after a while and then people see how wonderful you are.
Good.
Because I'm sure this interview will last weeks.
All right, don't freak out, okay? I will help you.
- How long before you have to leave? - An hour.
- I can't help you.
- Phoebe We'll do our best.
I'm the interviewer and I'm meeting you for the first time.
- Okay.
- Hi.
Come on in.
I'm Regina Phalanges.
- Chandler Bing.
- Oh, Bing.
- What an unusual name.
- You should meet my Uncle Bada.
I'll let myself out.
Your alfredo's dry.
Did you use your cheese? When you say "use," do you mean "eat as a pre-cooking snack"? - And the cream? - Cheese makes me thirsty.
- Okay.
Let's move on.
- All right.
Something smells good over at Monica's station.
My God! This is amazing! You've never made this before? Oh, no.
I don't know anything about cooking.
I had to ask what it was called when the water makes those bubbles.
- Hats off to the chef.
- Your mouth was full.
I didn't hear.
- Hats off to who? - The chef! That's right! You'll find that I don't micromanage.
I don't shy away from delegating.
That's good to know.
But let's stop focusing on what you don't do and focus on what you do do.
What I do do is create an atmosphere of support for the people working with me.
Nice sidestep on the "do do" thing.
- Hardest thing I've ever done.
- Oh, you gotta go! - Don't worry.
You're ready.
- Really? Absolutely! Just fight all your natural instincts, and you'll be great.
Monica, my star student.
You called me that before, so I fashioned a star out of foil.
Now, no pressure.
If you like my cookies, you give me the star.
Wow, a star! I know you all hate me, and I'm sorry, but I don't care.
- Okay, Joey, you're up next.
- Yeah.
Oh, my God! This is amazing! You get an A.
I got an A? In school? Hey, I'm a dork! Joey, I'm so proud of you.
- I think you should give him your star.
- He doesn't know what he's doing.
Nobody knows what they're doing.
I do.
I'm a professional chef! Oh, relax.
It's not a courtroom drama.
Why are you taking Introduction to Cooking? Yeah! I'm sorry.
I cook at this restaurant, Allessandro's and I just got a bad review.
- Allessandro's? I love that place! - You do? You're a great chef.
As a person you're a little - Oh, I'm crazy, but you liked the food? - Very much.
Okay, then.
I don't stink.
I'm a good chef! Okay.
I don't want to go.
I'm having fun.
Did either of you pay for this class? Hey, if my friend says it's time to go, it's time to go! I was the point person on my company's transition from the KL5 to GR6 systems.
- You must have had your hands full.
- That I did.
That I did.
So let's talk a little bit about your duties.
My duties? All right.
You'll be heading a division, so you'll have a lot of duties.
I see.
But there'll be 30 people under you so you can dump a certain amount on them.
- Good to know.
- We could go into detail No, don't, I beg of you.
All right.
We'll have a definite answer for you Monday.
But I can say with some confidence, you'll fit in well here.
- Really? - Absolutely.
- You can relax.
You did great.
- Yeah, thanks.
I was really nervous.
I'm told I come on too strongly.
And then it was really hard to side step that "duty" thing.
Duties? Doodies? Poo? Poo? Oh, my God.
This doesn't count.
Okay? The interview was over.
That was the real Chandler Bing.
This is some crazy guy.
Call security! There's a crazy guy out in the hall! Poo? I'll look forward to your call.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- You're back.
- How are you? I'm fine.
But that's not important.
What's important is how was she? It was fun.
We just had coffee.
Oh, uh-huh, uh-huh, coffee, a little rub-rub-rub under the table? What's going on? Do you not like Katie? No.
No, she was nice.
I mean, she was a little slutty, but who isn't? Well, I liked her.
Of course you did.
You'd date a gorilla if it called you Indiana Jones.
Did you get a fresh batch of pregnancy hormones today? No.
It's just that Katie bothered me.
Why? What was wrong with her? There was nothing wrong with her.
She was lovely.
- Okay.
So, what's the matter? - I don't want you to date her.
Why? What, are you jealous? Yes.
And not because I want you to go out with me.
Because I don't want you to go out with anybody.
It's terrible to even think this and it's inappropriate but I want you to be at my constant beck and call, 24 hours a day.
I'm very sorry, but that is just the way that I feel.
- Okay.
- What? I won't date.
I'll I'll be here with you all the time.
Really? But I'm being so unreasonable.
True, but you're allowed to be unreasonable.
You're having our baby.
Oh, Ross, thank you.
Thank you.
You feel better? No, not really.
You're pressing the baby into my bladder and now I have to pee.
- Okay.
- Rach? - Yeah? - Just one thing We live together.
You're having our baby.
I'm not gonna see anybody else.
Are you sure you don't want something more? Wow.
I don't know, maybe Oh, Rach, I was just messing around.
- Like you did when I had to pee? - Oh! I knew that.
I knew that! I was just messing with you too! Okay.
Because for a minute you seemed - No, it's just like you actually That's just because I'm such a good messer! - Rach? - Yeah? - The bathroom? - Right.
I had fun.
I learned how to bake, ate great food.
It's my first A since 7th grade and I didn't even sleep with the teacher.
- Oh, look.
Acting for Beginners.
- Yeah.
- Wanna feel good about yourself? - What the hell! Let's start with some basics.
Can anybody tell me what the difference between upstage and downstage is? Yeah, this was a stupid idea.
