#	Speaker	Line
1	Written by	Ira Ungerleider Transcribed by: Eric Aasen
2	[SCENE]	Scene: Monica and Rachel's, the whole gang is there, the guys are watching football, the girls are cooking Thanksgiving dinner.
3	The Guys	(reacting to a play) Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Awww!
4	Phoebe	Hey, it’s your Thanksgiving too, y'know, instead of watching football, you could help.
5	The Guys	We will. (they don’t move)
Nitpick: In Episode E907/L149-152: , line(s) 907, Chandler implies he doesn't like watching football and in Episode E809/L48-51: , line(s) 809, he's watching football just to avoid helping; but in Episode E309/L2-5: , line(s) 309, he seems to enjoy it.
Episode 907, Lines 149-152
149	Joey	Well it's okay, its like... its just a football game.
150	Chandler	Football? Just football?
151	Joey	Yeah, see... you were all worried for nothing.
152	Chandler	It's football... It's just football... This is great! This is the first time I've ever enjoyed football... It may be customary to get a beer... (Chandler walks to the fridge, his back turned to the TV and a moaning sound replaces the cheering of the crowd... Joey's eyes double in size....) What the... (Chandler turns around, but Joey already took a sprint for Chandler, jumps, and floors Chandler in the open space in front of the apartment door....) What are you doing?
Episode 809, Lines 48-51
48	Phoebe	Yeah, it all just came screaming back to me. (Monica exits.) (To Chandler) So how’s the game?
49	Chandler	I have no idea.
50	Phoebe	What?
51	Chandler	Yeah! I’m just pretending to watch the game so I don’t have to help out with stuff.

80	Monica	Phoebe, I thought you said you know what you’re doing?
81	Phoebe	I thought you meant in life.
Observation: Phoebe has no life plan in Episode E104/L170-171: , line(s) 104, but does in Episode E309/L80-81: , line(s) 309. (then again, 2 years is enough time to come up with a plan)
Episode 104, Lines 170-171
170	Monica	Do you have a plan?
171	Phoebe	I don't even have a 'pl'.

172	Monica	All right, come on guys, let’s go! Tie score, and we’re runnin’ out of time. Forty-two!! Thirty-eight!! Hike! (the timer sounds as Monica throws the ball to Phoebe.)
Observation: Douglas Adams fans, take note. The number 42 is mentioned in Episode E121/L223: , line(s) 121, Episode E218/L86: , line(s) 218, thrice in Episode 309 (Episode E309/L172: , line(s) 309, Episode E309/L240: , line(s) 309, Episode E309/L282: , line(s) 309), again in Episode E902/L42: , line(s) 902 and Episode E918/L28: , line(s) 918.

Episode 309, Lines 240-240
240	Monica	Forty-two to twenty-one! Like the turkey, Ross is done!
Episode 309, Lines 282-282
282	Ross	Hey! It’s 42-21!
Episode 902, Lines 42-42
42	Ms. McKenna	Boston is down, Atlanta is down, Houston is down, I could go on and on but instead of boring you I’ll go straight to my forty two point plan.
Episode 918, Lines 28-28
28	Ross	No! Do you know what your odds are of winning the lottery? I...I mean you have a better chance of being struck by lightning 42 times.

Episode 924, Lines 340-342
340	(ACTION)	Chandler prepares to play
341	Chandler	All right Mike, let's get this over with. Sudden death. Whoever wins this point, wins.
342	Mike	Ok!

267	Margha	Which do I like?
268	Ross	Yeah, y'know for dating, general merriment, taking back to your windmill...
269	Margha	Well, if I had to chose right now, which by the way I find really weird, I would have to say, Chandler.
270	Chandler	Yes!!
271	Joey	Wait a minute! Wait a minute! She obviously didn’t understand the question.
272	Chandler	Well, you don’t you have Captain Hook explain it to her.
273	Margha	I’m sorry, Joey, that is my chose.
Observation: In Episode E309/L267-273: , line(s) 309, Margha doesn't want Joey, but in Episode E320/L3-4: , line(s) 320 Joey says Kate's the first to not reciprocate. (maybe Joey didn't want Margha all that much?)
Episode 320, Lines 3-4
3	Chandler	Wait a minute, wait. You’re telling me this actress person is the only woman you ever wanted who didn’t want you back?!
4	Joey	Yeah! Oh my God! (to Chandler) Is this what it’s like to be you?
