When Ross gets to Monica's door and starts screaming at Chandler, Chandler reaches for the window in Monica's living room to go "on the lam." Why doesn't he just use the balcony door?

I also noted this under The One With Monica and Chandler's Wedding, Part 1 but this episode is the only time that the others seem genuinely scared of Ross' fighting ability (or lack thereof). Presumably this is because of the mood-swing-inducing treatment he's on for his 'rage problem'.

TRIVIA: At the party, Steve nastily addresses Ross as “3B.” Schwimmer played Josh '4B' Goldstein (nicknamed after his apartment) on NYPD Blue.

Did Joey and Katie ever actually "do it"? I wasn't quite sure. They might have, before she started to hit him in public. Because Joey does say something about having to cut off "the Joey love" if she keeps it up.

I think they did, and then she just got real aggressive with him, and then others. And when Rachel kicks her (hard), Joey decides she isnt worth fighting for. That was probably a good decision on his part.

Too bad. She was probably really great in bed. Those hot sexy petite brunettes, I sure do love 'em, yes siree! (and yeah, I did watch Punky Brewster, both the sitcom and the cartoon!)

Ross was totally in the right here. He'd just moved in, he didn't know the guy. Yet he gets raked over the coals because he refuses to give money for a man he doesn't even know.

And the united front of tenants against him? I live in an apartment myself, and I can count on one hand the number of fellow tenants I know by name.
