After Ross takes away the fireball, he holds onto it for a few good seconds before realizing that it's super-hot.

GREAT EXCHANGE BETWEEN MAIN CAST MEMBER AND RECURRING CAST MEMBER:

Joey: How could I not get the part? The play was about a 29-year-old Italian actor from Queens!
Estelle: (taking a puff from ever-present ciggy) Well, Talia Shire suddenly became available.
Joey: She’s a woman!
Estelle: (takes another puff) What can I say? She nailed it!
Joey: (Very discouraged) Okay, is there anything else?
Estelle: Well, you’re just going to say no again but...gay porn?
(Joey is very upset)

In fact, that's one of the few times I've ever seen Joey really angry. The exchange was still funny though!

BTW, there was no evidence to support the idea that Danny was sleeping with his sister, they were just taking baths together. Which adult siblings should definetly not do. I know that, and I'm an only child!

Rent, or watch on HBO/Cinemax, last year's Bridesmaids for another take on that. That flick is a really fun comedy. Highly recommended.

Yeah, I saw that one too, Adam. Those two Brit siblings really grossed me out! I dont remember though, was the film really implying that they *were* sleeping together? *shudder*

Also, here is something I came up with concerning this situation having to do with possible incest between siblings:

Blood relatives should *not* do it. I have *no* blood relatives. As not only am I am only child, I was also adopted. My biological parents are deceased. And they definetly had no other children. So, basically, I *could* do it with any woman I like (as I am heterosexual), *if* they would be willing and would give consent!

There. That's cleared up. Anyway, I also wonder if Danny continued to live in their building after this, as we didnt see him again afterward. Him bathing with his sis was a bit of a turnoff for Rachel. As for Ross and Monica, they, AFAIK, never showed any signs of possible incestuous behavior. Although there was that part in the episode where Ross said something to Monica about "it would be like if you and me were a couple" or something like that, and Monica said, "I know you're upset, but don't say that ever again." That's a normal reaction from someone's sibling. But then, in the ninth season after Phoebe broke up with Mike, and then he came back, they wanted to do it, but Monica wanted to keep them apart because Pheebs told her to do that before Mike came over. And Mon was mentioning things they could discuss while she went to the bathroom, which included "the idea of me and Ross doing it." That was a pretty funny line, I have to admit.

Anyway, the actress playing Krista, Julie Lauren, was pretty cute, I thought. But cleaning his crotch with her wet napkin so the stain wouldn't set, that was a bit iffy. The one part that I thought was OK was when they were playing around and chasing each other and hugging. That was fine, I thought. But never having had sisters or brothers, I perhaps missed out on various things growing up. Oh well!
