Monica: I'm sorry.
Chandler: Oh, she's sorry. I feel better.
Rachel: I just can't believe this! I mean, with the holidays coming up, I wanted him to meet my family.
Monica: I'll meet someone else. There'll be other Alans.
Group: Yeah, right!
Monica: Are you guys gonna be okay?
Ross: Hey, hey, we'll be fine. We're just gonna need a little time.
