610 The One With The Routinue [Scene: Monica and Chandler’s apartment, everyone except Ross is decorating the tree.] Chandler: Let me ask you, why is everybody using these tiny lights nowadays? I remember when people used to use big lights. Rachel: That’s a good story, Grandpa. (Ross enters) Ross: Hey All: Hey Ross: Wow, Monica’s letting other people help decorate her tree! Did someone get her drunk again or? Monica: Having a perfectly decorated tree is not what Christmas is about. It’s about being with the people that you love. Phoebe: That is nice and we’re done. TADA! (Her side of the tree looks a complete mess) Chandler: I dunno what it is, it just doesn’t quite feel like Christmas to me. Monica: Oh, here. (She turns the tree around so that her side, which is perfectly decorated, is showing) Chandler: See now it feels like Christmas! Opening Credits [Scene: Central Perk, everyone except Phoebe and Joey are there.] Ross: … and that’s the story of the dreidle.

And that was like 4000 years ago. Rachel: So, pretty much around the same time that you started telling this story. (Joey enters) Joey: Hey you guys. Chandler: Hey Joe what’s up? Joey: I had to get out of the apartment. Janine is like stretching all over the place. Y’know, everywhere I look she’s like… (He imitates her stretching) Chandler: I can see why that’s hard to resist. Joey: I like her so much! Monica: Aw, I’m sorry sweetie that she doesn’t feel the same way. Joey: I know. And she’s so sweet. I just wanna feed her grapes and brush her hair. Chandler: You are aware that she’s not a monkey, right? Ross: I am so over Janine. I mean, yeah, at first I thought she was hot, but now she’s like OLD NEWS! (Janine enters) Janine: Hey guys! Ross: Hi Janine! Janine: I just got a call to be a dancer on a television special for
