A fantastic episode that runs in real time and takes place (except for the very end) in Monica and Rachel's apartment. What's amazing about this episode is the following-

1) Only the 6 actors are involved onscreen (apart from the very end).
2) There are 4 storylines (count 'em)
-Ross and Rachel
-Monica and Richard's Phone
-Chandler and Joey fighting over the chair
-Phoebe's dress

3) The episode is really very entertaining and reflects a real life "rush panic" very well.

Some great quotes:

Joey (wearing what appears to be all of Chandler's clothes): "Could I BE any more Chandler Bing?"

Chandler (after going through a similar routine that he did earlier on with Joey, arguing about a chair): "Alright- that does it, give me your underwear"

How about the sequence:

Joey: You hid my clothes - so I'm going to do THE EXACT OPPOSITE!
Chandler (pauses for thought): What...you're going to SHOW ME my clothes?

(later, Joey comes out wearing all Chandler's clothes)

Chandler: That is SO NOT the opposite of me hiding your clothes!

Read this dialogue and tell me that it wasn't just a *little* bit suspect, concerning Chandler's character:

Ross (wanting Rachel to just pick something already): Look, I'm sorry, I thought it looked pretty.
Rachel: Ross, that was a Halloween costume, unless you would like me to go to this thing as Little Bo Peep.
Ross: Look, I didn't recognize it without that inflatable sheep.
Rachel: Yeah, which, by the way Chandler, I would like back one of these days.
*Chandler looks surprised to hear this*
Phoebe: Oh Rach, good, listen, isn't this perfect for me? (she's wearing another dress on a hanger around her neck)
Rachel: Oh, it's perfect! But not for tonight.
Phoebe: Well, of course not for tonight. Yeah, hi!
Ross: Not for tonight. Not for tonight! Wh-what, what, what, are you doing?
Rachel: No honey, we're sorry, we didn't mean it. I love you. I love you.
Chandler (out of nowhere) We used them as pillows when we went camping.
Ross: What?
Chandler: (shyly) The sheep.
Ross: Hey, what you do on your own time...

Hah! Now, the fact that Chandler actually had to specify just *what* he was doing with the inflatable sheep, that, I thought was pretty funny.

Oh, and Rodney - the quote actually went: "Look at me, I'm Chandler! Could I BE wearing any more clothes?!"

And the whole thing with Monica and the phone message? I really hate it when people get this way over those who they're dating or who they used to date, and if the other person leaves them one after they've broken up, they always have to wonder just what the message MEANS. I find that kind of thing extremely annoying, to be honest.

And that's one of the reasons I don't date or have relationships with the opposite sex. I already said elsewhere that I can't really handle rejection and that I have a fear of abandonment, but I also have nothing that I could ever possibly offer a woman. The things they like, such as my own home, a car, or financial stability in general? Nope, I don't have any of that. I also get really worked up and angry over certain things that others can just brush off and forget about, especially around women. They don't want me cuz I don't ever bring any feelings of romance or intimacy out of them when they are in my presence. I'm just not THAT kind of man.

And I'm willing to bet that a lot of you out there aren't either....

Of course, this was a money saving bottle episode. However, it was a good one.
