Mrs. Geller: They all had a thing for him.

Ross: Aw,Mom...

Monica: I'msorry, why is this girl going to call me?

Mrs. Geller: Oh, she just graduated, and she wantsto be something in cooking, orfood, or.... I don't know. Anyway, I told her you had a restaurant-

Monica: NoMom, I don't have a restaurant, I work in a restaurant.

Mrs. Geller: Well, they don't have to know that...(She starts to fluff the same pillow Monica fluffed multiple times earlier.)

Monica: Ross, could you come and help me with the spaghetti, please?

spaghetti n.意大利面条

Ross: Yeah.(They go to the kitchen.)

Mrs. Geller: Oh, we're having spaghetti!That's.... easy.

Monica: Iknow this is going to sound unbelievably selfish, but, wereyou planning on bringing up thewhole baby/lesbian thing? Because I think it might take some of the heat off me.

Ross和Monica的父母来看望他们，由于从小父母就喜欢Ross（因为Ross成绩优异，为人老实，而Monica性格独立，而且那时候还很胖chubby）,所以在吃饭的时候老是无意识的讽刺Monica,于是Monica想让Ross提提自己老婆是Lesbian而且有了孩子的事儿转移注意力。Take some of the heat off sb,这里是帮Monica减轻压力的意思。

(Time Lapse, everyone is now eating.)

Mrs. Geller: What that Rachel did to her life.... We ran into her parents at the club, theywere not playing very well.

run into v.偶遇

Mr. Geller: I'm not gonna tell you what they spent on that wedding... but forty thousand dollars is alot of money!

Mrs. Geller: Well, at least she had the chance to leave a man at the altar...

Monica: What's that supposed to mean?

Mrs. Geller: Nothing! It's an expression.

Monica: Noit's not.

Mr. Geller: Don't listen to your mother. You're independent, and you always have been! Evenwhen you were a kid... and you were chubby, and you had no friends, you werejust fine! And you would read alone in your room, and your puzzles...

chubby adj.丰满的 圆胖的/puzzle n.拼图

(Time Lapse.)

Mr. Geller: Look, there are people like Ross who need to shoot for the stars, with hismuseum, and his papers getting published. Other people are satisfied with staying wherethey are- I'm telling you, these are the people who never get cancer.

Mr. Geller: ...And I read about these women trying to have it all, and I thank God 'Our Little Harmonica' doesn'tseem to have that problem.
