214 高中舞会录影带
乔伊经济状况好转，还清了借钱德的债，还送钱德一只昂贵（但俗气）的金手镯。
但钱德不喜欢戴，乔伊发现以后感觉很受伤。
莫妮卡到餐厅面试新工作，餐厅经理很喜欢吃又脏又腐烂的沙拉（eh....）。
瑞秋又在约会男人，罗斯不得不干预……
瑞秋气咻咻的说，我们之间没戏，永远没可能了！
菲比认为瑞秋是罗斯的“龙虾”，注定要白头偕老。
莫妮卡的父母来访，把她的旧东西带来，因为已经将她的房间变成了健身房。
莫妮卡告诉他们她新近失业，但她没有勇气开口借钱。
在莫妮卡的旧物里有一卷录影带，里面录着她和瑞秋迎接高中舞会的情景。
瑞秋手术前不输给成龙的大鼻子，莫妮卡减肥前的伟岸身躯，以及罗斯的小学究模样都历历在目。
在录影带里，瑞秋约会的男生没有出现，她怕错过高中舞会而发了狂。
罗斯本打算约会他，但就在他开口之前，约瑞秋的男生又到了。
瑞秋这还是头一次看到这卷录影带，为罗斯对她的深情而感动不已，决定化干戈为玉帛，并好好亲了他一顿。
在录影带的最后部分，莫妮卡意外发现了一些她父母的镜头。________________________________________

莫妮卡的父母来访，把她的旧东西带来，因为已经将她的房间变成了健身房。
莫妮卡告诉他们她新近失业，但她没有勇气开口借钱。
在莫妮卡的旧物里有一卷录影带，里面录着她和瑞秋迎接高中舞会的情景。
瑞秋手术前不输给成龙的大鼻子，莫妮卡减肥前的伟岸身躯，以及罗斯的小学究模样都历历在目。
在录影带里，瑞秋约会的男生没有出现，她怕错过高中舞会而发了狂。
罗斯本打算约会他，但就在他开口之前，约瑞秋的男生又到了。
瑞秋这还是头一次看到这卷录影带，为罗斯对她的深情而感动不已，决定化干戈为玉帛，并好好亲了他一顿。
