810 - TOW Monica's Boots

These boots were made for walkin' and Monica just keeps on talkin'.  Chandler is incensed when Monica spends a fortune on a luscious pair of black boots but when she discovers that her sexy new footwear thrashes her feet, she puts on a brave front and walks on rather than admit that hubby knows best.  Meanwhile, when a wide-eyed Phoebe learns that Ross' young son attends the same school as rock star Sting's son, she angles to meet the celebrity and get concert tickets--until she afouls his suspicious wife, Trudy Styler (as herself).  In addition, Rachel tries to mediate between an angry Joey and his pregnant kid sister (Marla Sokoloff).

Haven't seen this ep, but...

SOME QUOTES

Rachel: Those boots are amazing.
Monica: They're mine!

Joey: She's the smartest of all the Tribbiani children.
Rachel: Wow.
Joey: Yeah. You know the SATs?
Rachel: Yeah.
Joey: She took 'em.

Monica: They're very practical. See, you can wear them with dresses, with skirts, with pants....
Chandler: You could wear them with shorts on a street corner and earn the money to pay for them.

Monica: The guy who made these hates feet and wants to see them die.
Rachel: Well, give them to me. I haven't felt my feet in years.

Ross: Sting's son made fun of the fact that Ben's moms are lesbanims.

Joey: Well, I'll let you two fash...ists get down to business.

Chandler: See, every cloud has a supple leather lining.

Monica: You were right, all right, I never should have bought them. They're killing me one toe at a time.
Chandler: So, I was right. This is what it feels like to be right. It's oddly unsettling.

Monica: Where are they?
Chandler: Well, why don't you check in one of my saddle bags while I chew on a bale of hay?!

810 - TOW Monica's Boots

The episode starts with Monica sitting on one of her kitchen chairs admiring her new boots.  Chandler walks in.  Monica stands ups and models and says, "What do you think?"  Chandler guesses everything from her hair, clothes, and finally says, "Boots?"  Monica says "yes".  She then explains it's wayyy more that she ever spends on anything, however she felt intimidated by the salesclerk because the salesperson acted like Monica could not afford those boots.

Chandler looks at the bill and says, "She may have a point".  Rachel walks in and immediately notices the boots, and loves them!  Monica glows happily and says, "They're mine!!!"

Chandler thinks that they should go back.  Rachel says, "Shhhh---they (and she gestures towards the boots) may hear you!"  Chandler still feels they should go back, but, Monica assures Chandler she'll wear them all the time and adds, "Haven't you ever had anything that is soooo beautiful that everyone wants it?"

Chandler says, "I have you."

Monica says, "Nice try, I'm keeping the boots!"

Later at Central Perk.  Ross, Rachel and Phoebe are on the couch.  Ross is talking to the "baby" (Rachel's abdomen).  Phoebe misunderstands what Ross is doing.  Rachel informs Phoebe that he is talking to the baby.  

Then Rachel has to leave, just as she is walking out, she bumps into Joey.  Joey says that his sister found out that Rachel works at Ralph Lauren.  Rachel interrupts the conversation and tells Joey that she's not going to give any more clothes to the prison, it's just a waste of time.  Joey explains that it isn't that sister, it's his younger sister.  And this sister is really interested in fashion and wants to talk to someone successful.

Rachel starts thinking outloud of all the possibilities that she could have his sister talk to, but, Joey interrupts and says that his little sister, Deena, wants to talk to Rachel.  Rachel glows happily, "Really?  Oh my god, I'm successful!"  Joey believes that his little sis will like Rachel because this sister is the "smart" one.  He emphasizes that, "You know the SAT's?  Well, she took them!!!"  Rachel leaves, and Joey goes and gets his fave drink.

Meanwhile--back at the couch.  Phoebe is reading up about Sting.  She finds out that Sting's son goes to the same private school as Ben.  Ross says, "Yeah, he's in Ben's class."

Phoebe is very annoyed and says, "You KNEW this and you never said anything!!?...with all that stupid dinosaur stuff you tell us!"

"Fine!  No more dinosaur stuff!"  Ross says, but then adds, "But, may I talk about fossils?"

Joey (who is just about to sit on the chair behind Ross' back), groans, and decides to take his fave drink elsewhere.  Ross turns just as Joey is leaving.

Phoebe continues giving stats about Sting's son.  Ross is concerned that Phoebe doesn't realize her dialog sounds strange.  Phoebe reassures Ross that she just reading from a local magazine and shows him the article, then she asks how well he knows Sting.  Ross hasn't met him.  Phoebe is very persistant and wants to have tickets to Sting's sold out concert and persuades Ross to get some for her.

Much later at Central Perk.  Phoebe, Rachel and Chandler are sitting at their fave place.  Monica walks in.  The women are on the couch, so Monica, joins them.  Chandler is sitting in one of the chairs.  Rachel says hi to Monica and Monica's boots.   Monica reassures Chandler that it was the best idea to buy the boots because they are so versatile, you can wear them with anything and they'll look great!.  Chandler still wonders if the boots are really worth it.  He leaves for a moment.  When he leaves, Monica tells Rachel & Phoebe that the boots are killing her!  They hurt soooo much!!!

Chandler walks back towards his chair as Ross walks in.  Ross explains to Phoebe that Ben is not friends with Sting's son, so, the chances of getting tickets are most likely out.

Phoebe wants the tickets so bad that she decides to take matters in her own hands.  She goes to the school, pretending to be Carol, and manages to set up a meeting with Sting (anyway she thinks so) to talk about the children's problems.  Once at Sting's, Trudy (his wife), discovers Phoebe's plot and calls the police.

Meanwhile ---

At Rachel's Office.  Joey brings his little sis, Deena,  to meet Rachel.  After Joey leaves, Rachel discovers the reason that Deena wanted to meet Rachel is because they have the same problem, they are both pregnant.  

Much later....

Monica is coming home, she has been wearing a very comfortable shoe, but, before entering her/Chandler's apartment, she sits down to put the boots back on.   Once she stands up, she realizes how much pain she is in.  Chandler hears her and opens their door and asks what's wrong.  Monica acts like it is nothing, she is just tired.

As they enter the apartment together, Chandler mentions that they have his office party to go to tonight and that she could show off those boots.  Monica says reasons why she shouldn't wear the boots including that the boots doesn't go with her outfit.  Chandler reminds her that she had said that the boots go with everything.  Monica realizes that she has to wear the boots .  She is in such pain, though, that she tries to sound gleeful and laughs as she goes towards the bedroom to change.

After much discussion with Rachel, Deena, and Bobby(Deena's boyfriend),  Joey realizes that he has to accept what has happened to his sister.  And Joey ends up hugging Deena.

Meanwhile, after Chandler's office party, Monica & Chandler are walking home.  It's only 15 blocks, so Chandler doesn't see a problem.  Monica then confesses that Chandler was correct about the boots.  She is in so much pain she cannot disguise it anymore.  When Monica asks Chandler for a ride home on his back, he amicably agrees.  She wants to take her boots off first before being carried.  As Chandler is carrying her home,  Monica notices her boots in a store display, when she asks Chandler to get closer so she could see the price.  Chandler says, "It will cost you one husband!"

As they start talking, they both realize that they forgot about her boots and that she left them where she took them off.  After talking with Chandler, she realizes she'll never wear them again anyway, they go home.

Little teaser at the end:  Ross sees Phoebe and shows her that he has managed to get free tickets to Sting's concert.  Phoebe asks if it is anywhere near Sting or Sting's family or relatives.  Ross says no, so Phoebe is excited that she can go because the police had told her not to be anywhere near them.
