I learned…
- New Year’s Eve sucks. (But I learned that in real life, too.)
Summary
Ross gets a Monkey. Rachel asks the gang what everybody is doing for New Years. They make a no-date pact and decide to do dinner. Phoebe sings a bunch of songs in the coffee shop and meets David, who she falls for quickly.
Joey plays an elf in a department store.
Everybody ends up having dates on the ‘no date’ new years eve except for Ross (unless you count Marcel the monkey). Paolo misses his flight and Rachel gets tackled by a crazy woman trying to leave the airport.
Monica’s date, “Fun Bobby”, is not so fun because his grandfather just died a couple hours before the party. Chandler breaks up with Janice for the second time in the middle of the party because he forgot he can’t even handle her for a few hours.
David and his scientist friend got their grant to go to Minsk for 3 years, but David doesn’t want to go at first since that would mean leaving Phoebe, and Phoebe tells him to stay. Phoebe changes her mind and tells David to go to Minsk because she knows its too important to him to miss. He leaves before midnight. Everybody ends up dateless by the end of the night. The gang is arguing over who will kiss who and Chandler begs someone to kiss him. Joey finally kisses Chandler to shut him up.
