The One With All The Resolutions
Teleplay by: Suzie Villandry
Story by: Brian BoyleTranscribed by: Eric Aasen511 新年新氣象！
新年鐘聲敲響的時候，如何讓錢德吻莫妮卡而不顯突兀呢？喬伊獻計讓羅斯親菲比、瑞秋親自己，那樣就順理成章了。
每個人都立下新年宏願：
羅斯想每天都做新的嘗試；
錢德要停止拿朋友開玩笑……至少堅持一星期；
瑞秋說想戒掉愛絮絮叨叨的毛病；
喬伊立志學吉他；
莫妮卡想給大家多照點合影；
菲比最特別，想駕駛商業噴氣機。
羅斯和新女友依麗莎白約會，但他穿的皮褲太緊，他跑到洗手間脫下皮褲納涼，結果再也穿不上了。
羅斯打電話向喬伊緊急求援，喬伊出主意讓他用香粉或者潤滑油試試，結果事情變本加厲的糟糕。
為學吉他，喬伊拜菲比為師，可菲比其實對和弦名稱一無所知。
瑞秋猜破了莫妮卡和錢德的啞謎，迫不及待想公諸於眾；她選擇了喬伊當聽眾，對保守秘密毫無興趣的喬伊表示，我不想聽。
錢德忍不住拿朋友打趣。
5.11 The One With All The Resolutions
Joey makes it possible for Monica and Chandler to kiss at midnight on New Years, by arranging kisses between Ross and Phoebe, and Rachel and himself.
Everyone makes resolutions: Ross will do one new thing everyday;
Chandler will stop making fun of his friends... for at least a week;
Rachel wont gossip;
Joey will learn the guitar;
Monica will take more pictures of everyone together;
and Phoebe will pilot a commercial jet.
While on a date with a new girl (Elizabeth Hornswoggle) Ross new pair of leather pants is so hot and tight that he cant get them back on after taking them off to cool down in the bathroom.
He calls Joey for advice, which leads to attempts first with powder and then with lotion, which just make things worse.
Joeys guitar teacher is Phoebe, who doesnt know any actual chord names.
Rachel finds out about Monica and Chandler, and is dying to tell someone;
she tries to tell Joey but hes so tired of keeping secrets, he wont listen.
Chandler cant stand holding in(v.約束 抑制) the wisecracks(n.俏皮話).

[Cut to Elizabeth Hornswoggles bathroom, Ross frantically pulls his shirt out and drops his pants. He exhales in sheer ecstasy as the coolness of the bathroom envelops his legs. He sits on the cast iron bathtub, again gasping in pleasure. He next grabs a magazine and starts to blow air on his exposed legs, but that doesnt work the way he wants it to.

Ross: Chandlers not there,huh?
Joey: That wouldve worked, but aII right, fine. Umm, do you see any—oh, Vaseline?
Vaseline：凡士林的發現早在1859年，其原名為「petroleum jelly」，其中「petroleum」是石油，而「jelly」則是像果醬般的膠狀物，原本為石油探鑽的副產品之一。之後，有一位名為RobertChesebrough的科學家將這些白色的膠狀物分離出來，並將之命名為「Vaseline」，在大家逐漸發現凡士林的多種用途後，這位Chesebrough的榮華富貴當然也是享用不盡了。在特性上，凡士林極具防水性，不易和水混合，它的許多應用也正因這項特性而來。所以，如同先前提到的，凡士林的確是一種非常好的保濕用品。加上它本身的味道十分淡，對於對一般潤膚產品所添加之香味、酒精過敏的人再適合也不過了。除了臉部、手腳皮膚外，氣候乾燥時，也可以試著在鼻腔內塗上點凡士林，以避免鼻腔內膜因太乾燥而流血。家裡有人流鼻血時，也可以凡士林幫助止血。此外，感冒流鼻水時也可以在鼻子周圍的皮膚塗上凡士林，以免擤鼻涕擤多了變成個紅鼻子。另有一說法是有富貴手困擾的人可以在睡前將雙手塗滿凡士林，之後戴上薄薄的棉布手套睡覺，據說能有效改善富貴手的情形。其次，凡士林的護唇效果也是無人可比的，它的油脂成份還可以讓您的雙唇有水亮亮的感覺。有興趣的話，還可以將凡士林加點您喜歡的口紅，放入微波爐稍微加熱軟化一下，混合均勻後置入一小化妝盒，如此一來，您便擁有個人專屬的護唇膏了。如果真是那麼愛美的話，建議您在眉毛上塗上一點點凡士林，除了可以順順眉毛外，還可以讓眉毛的顏色看起來深一點，省去畫眉毛的手續。 之前，提到凡士林可以緩和流鼻血的情形，其實任何小傷口塗點凡士林都有止血的效果，輕微的燙傷也可以塗上凡士林來減緩疼痛。家中有小寶貝的人，可將凡士林塗在小寶貝的屁股上來預防尿布疹，在幫小嬰兒量肛溫之前也可以在溫度計上塗點凡士林潤滑以減少不適。
Ross: Ohh, I-I see lotion, I have lotion! Will that work?

Joey: Yeah, sure, spread some of that on there.
Ross: Hold on.
(Ross proceeds to apply copious amounts of the lotion on his legs. He literally starts spraying the back of his legs with the lotion, and as he applies some to his butt he makes a happy face like he enjoyed that sensation. After using about half the bottle he again tries to pull up his pants, but at the first sign of resistance, his hand slips off of the pants and hits him in the forehead.)

Joey: Im not listening to you!
