How'd you guys find me?

playful work evaluation of Tag that he accidentally turns in to human resources. Rachel fears for her job but Tag is able to cover by claiming that he wrote the review himself as a joke. Monica decides to make candy and leave it outside her door as a way to meet the neighbors. The candy is a huge hit and people start dropping by at all hours to get more. Eventually Chandler convinces her that she's trying to buy the friendship of the neighbors and it's not working since they love the candy but don't even know her name.

Well, you know,
we did other stuff too.
But you know, there is one thing
that I have yet to evaluate.
The basket is totally empty!
The neighbors ate it all!
They've come by all day.
They love it.
Oh, my God, Ross!
Okay. Oh, my God.
Seems like I'd remember you.
So did you read your evaluation yet?
- What did you say?
- I said you were a good kisser...
Under problems with performance,
I wrote, "Dear God, I hope not. "
She really likes it, huh?
- Hey, so you enjoying the bike?
- Oh, uh-huh, so much.
I told you not to get
involved with your assistant.
Maybe it's not that bad. They might
not take it the way I meant it.
I'm sorry, I can't help you.
See? Rules are rules.
I can't believe that sign didn't work.
You want to talk about getting
people to like you, huh, funny man?
Wait, this seat
is really uncomfortable.
- Well, in case of an emergency.
- What kind of emergency?
Okay, Phoebe, just get on the bike...
Here we go. All right?
- I just thought you were doing so well.
- I am shocked. Shocked!
I could've been killed, you know.
Because it's... .
...you're killing its spirit.
But his assistant, Betty, comes in
early to eat breakfast at her desk.
Hello, Rachel. You got a minute?
Oh, my God,
can you imagine if there was?
It's kind of a risky joke, Tag.
There's a time and a place.
I can't believe you did that.
That was sweet.

Ross drives himself insane when he can't name all 50 states in a simple game. Tag joins the gang for Thanksgiving dinner, where Joey accidentally spills the beans about Rachel's crush on him. Phoebe sneaks a dog into the apartment, making Chandler extremely nervous.
All right, I bet I can get
all 50 before dinner.
I'm gonna go out and take a walk.
I'm very good.
Why is a dog in our apartment?
Oh, my God! Where are you?
I wanted to see if your offer
was still good.
Where's the dog?
No, that's just me coughing.
Hello, my name is Klunkers.
That's odd. This dog's been
living here for the past three days.
- Okay, it's...
- Don't do it!
Wait. Do you not like all dogs?
It's like Ross not liking ice cream.
So either the dog goes or I go.
I'd say about a month.
Because if he doesn't like you,
this is all a moo point.
You're right. I'm sorry.
Thank you.
How you holding up?
It's weird.
But you know, then I figure
it has to work out.
...so obviously you are not
repulsed by it. Yeah!
...because I'm attracted to you.
Which is why it would be great
if you said something right about now.
We still have time to talk,
and they're not even in the car yet.
Hey. I didn't know either.
She's very upset
about this whole Klunkers thing.
This is just like that...
- What's the matter?
- Monica's upset because of Klunkers.
Dammit. Why did I open my mouth?
- What? Why would...?
- Wait and see.
Which, FYI, Ross,
one of your neighbors, growing weed.
She climbed up the fire escape...
Okay, maybe this is so hard,
because there aren't 50 states.

I'd like to meet this chicken expert.
She cornered me. She asked me
if the wedding was in town.
So she comes to the wedding.
Maybe it won't be so bad.
She's probably not gonna even
want to come.
Do it Saturday. We're having
dinner with her and Clark.
Joey, I'm sorry. I just couldn't
tell her all those things.
Man, do you know what guys want.
You always say that.
Phoebe!
My doctoral dissertation is in the
library at school. I went to see it.
. . .was there a place on campus
where students went to fool around?
-Hey, Rachel.
-Hi.
Whose birthday party?
And instead of reading it,
people are. . . .
Well, fine.
We had the best time.
She loves sandwiches, sports.
Although she is a Met fan.
Why don't you tell me
about your lovely wedding.
It's actually going to be just family.
Do you want me to sing
"Careless Whisper" or "Lady in Red"?
How's it going with Joey?
But you said that you liked him.
What happened?
I guess ltalian isn't one
of the four languages you speak.
I guess it wasn't cupid
that brought her here.
Oh, you're fellow scholars.
Did you write this?
Well, I skipped fourth grade.
I'm a loner too, right?
-Next time, make sure she likes me.
-Well, that too.
I say we go with "Careless Whisper. "
. . .but I just felt like I really
couldn't be alone tonight.
Our kids are gonna call her
Aunt Janice, aren't they?
We'll just let her stay.
Monica and I have been immunized,

Rachel and Phoebe compete to be Monica's maid-of-honor. Joey and Ross find themselves in awkward positions after a nap. Monica insists that Chandler apologize to an ex-girlfriend for dumping her because of a weight gain.
Oh, my God, Phoebe.
I mean I'm just--
No way, Phoebe.
I want to be Monica's.
No, it was more like a "good luck. "
. . .both blond, both not attractive.
No, we're still together.
I said fa--
You have been maid of honor before?
See how you'd handle
maid-of-honor-type situations.
-Can't we just flip a coin?
-No, coins hate me.
Wow, this cologne really is
every bit as good as Giorgio.
No. No, we don't.
I've had better.
Honey, are you kidding?
That was like 1 6 years ago.
You'll be scored
on a scale of one to ten.
I don't want to marry Chandler.
And you just have to remember
that you love Chandler.
We haven't even prepared--
. . .and became friends with Chandler
when he was 25. . .
. . .while we were
showering together, naked.
I owe you a long, overdue apology.
-What?
-I'm sorry, Rach, it was really close.
Boy, I tell you. That judging stuff
took a lot out of me.
As bad as that went,
I actually enjoyed myself.
-That was totally different.
-How?
Hi, Pheebs.
And I was thinking about it.
Oh, God, this is funny. Look.
-Oh.
-Something. And. . .
This was the garter

While taking an engagement picture for himself and Monica, Chandler cannot make anything but a weird face. Rachel enlists Joey to take Tag out for a night on the town. Phoebe and Ross date a couple in the middle of a divorce.
Dude, that's so sad.
I'm just about to go out to the store.
We've been flirting back and forth. . .
PHOTOGRAPHER:
Great, that's great, Monica. Great.
You got anything that's
not Ralph Lauren?
It's gonna take a lot of money for
me to go out on a date with a dude.
Ooh, hey, doughnuts!
Gaze into our future and think about
our marriage and the days to come.
Hey, don't laugh at him.
He's my drowning moron.
Can't all be bad.
Well, I missed the semifinals,
so I think I would just be lost.
-Hey, Ross.
-Yeah.
Oh!
. . .who, by the way, did not
spend the night?
Look, Kyle just told me
some really bad stuff about her.
At breakfast, I'll be on alert for
room painting and sex weapons.
Listen to me, she is crazy!
-Did you have fun with Joey?
-Yeah, we went to the Knicks game.
How you doing?
You want to know what I do
when I take résumé shots?
Yeah, and you had fun teaching him
how to be all "Joey. "
I will get over it.
Tag, there's such a thing
as too many women.
I fell asleep on the subway
and went to Brooklyn.
. . .and a little more time
in the bedroom.
Excuse her for knowing
what she wants to do with her life.
We want the last 6 years back!
-Went out with Joey.
-Yeah?
I've always been happier when--
Why am I telling you this?
-I'm getting back together with my ex.
-I would love to!
Maybe she wouldn't have to be
selfish in bed. . .
Well, I went over to Kyle's last night
to pick up a few things. . .

While hiring a new assistant, Rachel is torn between hiring a much more qualified woman, or a handsome but inexperienced young man. Monica, Chandler and Ross engage in a war of secret sharing after Monica and Chandler vow to be more honest. Joey has problems when his TV show is cancelled after just one airing.
I'm so happy for you.
I get to hire my own assistant.
Well, thank you so much for coming in.
Really?
I haven't worked in an office before.
I don't have much experience--
What was with all the whispering?
Really? So tell me what happened
to Ross, junior year at Disneyland.
So Ross has about ten tacos.
Nancy Thompson, from Phoebe's
old massage place, is getting fired.
You have an assistant, right?
I love him.
I hear you. You make a lot of sense.
Can I just say one more thing?
-When do I start?
-How about right now?
Who looks more like me than me, right?
I was Doctor Drake Ramoray!
There is a plant in your office.
Thanks again for meeting with me.
First, I need you to go downstairs. . .
-Oh, yeah?
-Yeah, tacos.
Hey, what's that? Dinner stuff?
You making dinner?
Excuse me, Mr. Mexico.
Okay, okay. I had food poisoning.
It's not like I chose to do it!
-How could you?
-I had to. We're getting married.
So he goes over to her and, after
a minute or two, I see them kissing.
My new assistant is very happy
that I hired my new assistant.
Canceled!
-Sorry.
-Sorry, Joey.
. . .Ross used to wear leg warmers.
Maybe Chandler should know
your secrets too.
Monica couldn't tell time
until she was 1 3.
Yesterday, I had two TV shows.
Today, I got nothing.
Because! They wanted me to audition.
Nobody. I was just practicing.
He's Tag. This is Phoebe.
Phoebe, can I see you for a sec?
I know how it looks,
but I am telling you--
-Is he--
-Gay? Yeah.
I was an idiot, thinking I'm too big
to audition for you.
This guy's been in a coma
for five years. It's hopeless.
Drake, it's your brother, Stryker.
Can you hear me?
You know, in my defense. . .

Rachel tries to teach Joey how to sail his boat but turns into an overbearing perfectionist. They both decide it's more fun to sit in the boat at the dock and drink beer. Chandler plays racquetball with Monica's father and accidentally sits on his

It took three guys

This is the only one left.
He thinks he can take up the

-We're not finished with our lesson.
-All right.
Okay, let's do that, Sailor Joe.
No. What do you do if I say
we're coming about?
Hey.
I can't believe that.
Chauncey on the other hand. . . .
We hadjust finished playing,
and we were gonna take a steam.
You gave my father a lap dance.
He probably thought it was funny.
I'll call you later, Dad.
I love you.
I figured I would try to convince
him not to tell the story anymore. . .
I don't know. You know,
they didn't get us anything.
Because you're mean on the boat.
But you couldn't move. . .
It was horrible.
I was being a really good teacher.
It would have hurt a lot less

No, just a Friday night.
I did not like batch 1 6.
Batch 1 6.

Hey, little buddy. How you feeling?

Phoebe, you can't massage people

It's a healthy expression

Thank you so much.
I'll pick him up in an hour.
-I've never heard that story.

You have the wedding fund, don't you?
So you've had seven years

Enough. I don't want
