[Scene: Central Perk, Rachel is confronting her boss, Terry.] Rachel:  Terry, I, I, I know that I haven't worked here very long, but I was wondering, do you think it would be possible if I got a $100 advance in my salary? Terry:  An advance? Rachel:  It's so that I can spend Thanksgiving with my family. See, every year we go skiing in Vail, and normally my father pays for my ticket, but I sort of started the whole independence thing, you know, which is actually why I took this job. Terry:  Rachel, Rachel, sweetheart. You're a terrible, terrible waitress. Really, really awful. Rachel:  Ok, I, I hear what you're sayin'. I'm with you. Um, but I, but I'm trying really hard.

Today, I decided to watch it all over again and would take some notes on quotes/words that I like in the show.  Please come back to the site for updates.
