---Synopsis:
Rachel and Chandler’s separate encounters with Rosita, Joey’s favorite La Z Boy chair lead to a comedy of errors. When Ross and Monica find out that their parents are selling their house, they visit to pick up their childhood things from the garage to reminisce, but Monica may not be so lucky. Phoebe’s first day as a telemarketer for company that makes toner brings her into contact with someone with problems far greater than toner.

If Ross and Monica had dozens of boxes of their things stored in their parents' garage, why did their parents have to come by to Monica's apartment in The One With the Prom Video(2.14) to drop off one box of Monica's old things?

Hilarious Phoebe Line:
(After Phoebe’s supervisor tells her that everything she needs to deal with customers is in the script she’s been given…)
Phoebe: “I'm hearing what you're saying, but at our prices everyone needs toner.”
Earl: “Not me.”
Phoebe: “May I ask why?”
Earl: “You wanna know why. You wanna know why?”
Phoebe: “I surely do!”
Earl: “Okay, I don't need any toner because I'm gonna kill myself.”
Phoebe: (nervously flips through the script) “Um... is... is that because you're out of toner?”

Great Moment:
(After Earl tells Phoebe he plans to kill himself…)
Phoebe: “I'm not finished yet!! DON'T YOU DARE HANG UP ON ME!!!”
Phoebe’s Supervisor: (Walking past Phoebe to coworker) “The new girl’s good.”

Great Phoebe Line#2:
(After going to Earl’s office to confront him about his decision to kill himself, Phoebe asserts her sympathy by telling him that her mom killed herself…)
Earl: (skeptical) “Wait…how did she kill herself?”
Phoebe: (Irritated) “I’m not giving you tips!”

Is giving Monica a Porsche really a good idea? I mean, for one thing, she lives and works in Manhattan, where public transportation is all everyone needs. Second, can she afford the maintenance for such an expensive car? Third, she lives in an apartment, so she'd either have to pay parking garage fees (which are pretty bad in Manhattan), or risk the danger of leaving such a car out on the street if she can't.

I wonder why George Constanza did this episode. It was three years after Seinfeld ended, yes, but did he HAVE to appear as a lame mediocre one-time character on that *other* hit show NBC had?

I didnt like him here at all. His beard, his weird hair, it made his head and face look really weird. I'm sorry, but this guy really is typecast for life, and I will never be able to accept him in ANY other role but as "The King Of The Idiots", despite the fact that he and Elaine Benes were a married couple in that POS Rob Reiner flick "North" who neglected their son so severely he had an anxiety attack and went around the world looking for new parents! Good God was that movie absolutely terrible!!!!

And what about "Blankman"? Or "Dunston Checks In"? Or how about "Shallow Hal"?! OH MY GODDD!!!

But I digress. This ep was not one of my favorites. Simple as that. Away I go for now!
