410 帕基普希來的姑娘

喬伊創新記錄，一次放了15塊奧利奧到嘴裡。

羅斯和一個來自帕基普希（紐約一地名）的姑娘交往，但他為兩人之間的地理距離而煩惱。

瑞秋想戀愛，哪怕鬼混都行，於是錢德答應幫她安排；

當錢德的同事們發現女方是瑞秋、而她只是想鬼混時，他們爭先恐後賄賂錢德。

莫妮卡從工作中得不到頤指氣使的感覺；於是僱傭喬伊，以便解僱他來殺雞嚇猴。

但喬伊喜歡收小費，所以莫妮卡的計劃難以順利實施。

菲比努力為朋友寫聖誕歌。

羅斯坐火車去帕基普希談分手，結果睡過頭了，醒來時已到了蒙特利爾（加拿大）……身邊躺著的姑娘來自新斯科舍(加拿大省名)。

4.10 The One With The Girl From Poughkeepsie

Joey sets a personal record for sticking Oreos in his mouth--15.

Ross dates a girl from Poughkeepsie but is concerned about the distance involved in seeing her.

Rachel wants a relationship--or at least a fling--so Chandler offers to set her up with someone;

when his coworkers find out its Rachel and that shes not looking for a serious relationship, they all bribe Chandler to set them up.

Monica gets no respect at work;

she hires Joey in order to fire him, so everyone will know whos boss;

but Joey likes the tips, so he has a hard time going along with(v.贊同附和) the plan.

Phoebe works (and works and works) on a Christmas song for her friends.

Ross takes a train to Poughkeepsie to break up, but falls asleep and ends up in Montreal... with a girl from Nova Scotia.

Chandler: Oh, yeah! How did you meet her?

Phoebe: Oh, which museum?

Phoebe: (just Phoebe) No, answer his.

pass by sb從某人身邊經過/at one』s mercy adv.在某人的控制下/mercy n.救濟救難/

Chandler: Were you so late because you were burying this woman?

As of the 2000 census, the city of Poughkeepsie had a population of 29,871.

Poughkeepsie,Albany：波基普西，這是紐約州上州的一個地方，羅斯在這裡交了一個女朋友。錢德勒為此開了一個不太好玩的玩笑：「來自波基普西的女孩怎麼可能很棒呢?」大家都看著他，他只能訕訕地說：「這個笑話在奧爾巴尼(Albany)會笑死人。」奧爾巴尼是紐約州的首府。

Joey: Done! I did it! Heh, who』s stupid now? (He smiles and has cookie remains all over his teeth.)

Rachel: Hey, y』know, at least you have somebody to miss that stuff with! I hate being alone this time of year! Next thing you know it』ll be Valentine』s Day, then my birthday, then bang!—before you know it, they』re lighting that damn tree again. Ohh, I want somebody! (hearing this, Gunther moves in) Y』know, I want a man!! (Gunther leaves depressed) I mean, it doesn』t even have to be a big relationship, y』know, just like a fling would be great.

Joey: Hey, Mon! I』m not doing anything, why don』t you fire me?

Monica: That』s a good idea! Wait, do you know how to waiter?

Joey: Good enough to get fired.

Monica: All right, you』re hired!

Ross: Coffee sounds great. (They get up) Wait, so, so you live in Montreal?

Woman On Train: Oh, no. But it』s just a two hour ferry ride to Nova Scotia.

Nova Scotia ：在上一集中，羅斯和錢德勒共同回憶甘道夫的有趣事迹，說他永遠有很多新鮮的主意，每一次他們都不知道甘道夫會把他們帶到哪裡去。有一次聚會，他們喝了幾杯啤酒後，最後來到了加拿大的新蘇格蘭省(Nova Scotia)釣魚了。這是加拿大東南的一個半島，風景優美，適合閑雲野鶴們遊玩。在這一集里，羅斯坐火車坐過了頭，最終到了加拿大蒙特利爾，他碰上一個很漂亮的姑娘，他擔心地問她：「你是否就住在蒙特利爾?」答案比他想像地還要糟糕，姑娘住在離蒙特利爾還有兩小時輪船渡輪的新蘇格蘭。
