Flashbacks of Ross and Rachels relationship punctuate(v.強調 突出 不時打斷) this episode as Ross decides to send Rachel a wedding invitation and Rachel decides she wont be going.
Joey and Chandler, feeling like they dont have much going on in their lives compared to their friends, try to make some big plans...
like climbing Mount Everest or at least watching some videos.
[Scene: Central Perk, Joey and Chandler are sitting and talking.]
Chandler: Y』know what? It seems like all of the sudden，so much has happened.
Joey: I know. Ross is getting married.
Chandler: Phoebe is, making people.

Joey: Everybody』s doing stuff!
Chandler: And we just sit here. I mean if I die，the only way people would even know I was here would be by the ass print on this chair!

Joey: I meant for lunch.
Chandler: Look, we have to do something. Okay? Something huge!
Joey: (snaps his fingers) We could climb Mt. Everest!
Everest n.珠穆朗瑪峰(世界最高峰)/Mt．Everest：喬伊和錢德勒無所事事，兩人商量著要去爬珠穆朗瑪峰(Mt．Everest)。這個名字有鮮明的殖民地印記，因為這是當時印度測量局的負責人埃弗里斯特的名字，目前正規的世界地圖已經將(Mt．Everest)和珠穆朗瑪一同標註。
Chandler: No-no, not something stupid, something huge.
Joey: No-no-no-no-no, I saw an ad for this video, people climb that thing everyday! We could totally do that!

mail order n.郵購/Die Hard：在菲比的打擊下，喬伊和錢德勒放棄了去珠穆朗瑪的打算，但他們打算去租珠穆朗瑪的錄像帶看，而且同時要租《虎膽龍威(Die Hard)》，這是由布魯斯·威利斯主演的一套動作片，是錢德勒和喬伊最喜歡的電影之一。
Chandler: (dejected) Oh, well…
Phoebe: So you guys』ll stay here and hang out with me?
