Rachel:

Ross: No,

This is about us. Look, I-I've been in love with you since, like, the ninth
grade.
Rachel:
Ross, you're like my best friend.
Ross: I

Rachel: If
we broke up, and I lost you...
Ross: Whoa,
whoa, whoa. What makes you think we're gonna break
up?
Rachel:
Well, have you been involved with
someone where you haven't broken up曾经和你在一起的人不都是和你分手了?
Ross:

we are perfect for each other, right? I mean... so, the only question is... are you attracted to me你对我有感觉吗?

[Scene: Airport. Madonna's Take A Bow plays in the
background as Rachel waits at the gate with flowers.]
take a bow v.鞠躬, 答谢/ Take&a&bow，谢幕，想想演员在谢幕的时候总要鞠躬，呵呵，很形象吧？而Friends把这首歌曲当背景音乐是有原因的，我来形容一下：一架飞机沐着昏黄的夜色飞翔在空中，此时Take&A&Bow响起，镜头转到机场的等候厅，Rachel拿着一束花，着急而又兴奋地等待着Ross，一直拒绝Ross的她，终于渐渐喜欢上Ross，所以她要向Ross表明。但接着镜头转向通道内，Ross和他在旅游时遇到的女子接吻。
明白寓意了吗？就是说，Rachel以为是她和Ross爱情的开始，却没想到却是谢幕。
Rachel:
(sifting through crowd) Excuse me, pardon me, excuse me, excuse me, sorry. Hi.
sift v.详审,筛，筛分，过滤/sift through v.被筛下，通过
[Cut to the jetway, the old man
who the flight attendant delivered Rachel's message to gets off the plane, his
wife still upset with him.]
Man: For
God's sake, will you let it go? There's no Rachel!
(A Chinese woman getting off the plane drops one of her
bags. Ross gets off next.)
Ross: Oh,
hey, hey, I got that.
(Ross picks up the bag... then he and the woman kiss.)
Julie: Oh,
thanks, sweetie.
Ross: No
problem. I cannot wait for you to meet my friends.
Julie:
Really?
Ross: Yeah.
Julie: You
don't think they'll judge and ridicule me?
ridicule n.
v.嘲笑, 奚落
Ross: No,
no, they will. I just... uh...
Ross and Julie: Can't wait.
Ross: Come
on, they're gonna love you.

arrival... not knowing he is getting off the plane with another woman.]
