1.15 The One with the Stoned Guy

Chandler gets offered a promotion at work but turns it down because he doesn't like his career; 

his boss, however, keeps offering more money until Chandler accepts; 

he spends the day showing off his new office to Phoebe and his night working late. 

A client of Phoebe's needs a new head-chef, so Monica auditions for him; 

Unfortunately, he's stoned and the evening is a disaster. 

Ross goes out with Celia, a woman from the museum, who wants him to talk dirty; 

it's a skill he hasn't quite mastered... at first.

[Scene: Central Perk, Rachel is serving Joey, Ross, and Monica their drinks.]

Rachel: (to Joey) Coffee. (Hands it to him.)

Joey: Thank you.

Rachel: (to Ross) Cappuccino. (Hands it to him.) 

Cappuccino is a coffee-based drink prepared with espresso, hot milk, and steamed milk foam. A cappuccino differs from a caffè latte in that it is prepared with much less steamed or textured milk than the caffè latte with the total of espresso and milk/foam making up between approximately 150 ml and 180 ml (5 and 6 fluid ounces). A cappuccino is traditionally served in a porcelain cup(n.瓷杯), which has far better heat retention(n.保留) characteristics than glass or paper. The foam on top of the cappuccino acts as an insulator and helps retain the heat of the liquid, allowing it to stay hotter longer.

Ross: Grazie.

grazie<意>谢谢

Rachel: And a nice hot cider for Monica. (Hands it to her.)

cider n.苹果汁

Monica: Aww, thank you. (Notices something.) Uh Rach?

Rachel: Oh! That's why. (Rachel checks behind her ear, and finds a cinnamon stick.) I'm sorry! 

(She takes the pencil out of Monica's coffee and Monica puts her cup down in disgust.)
