Friends 107

Rachel: I mean, do you think there are people that go through life never having that kind of...

[ ai min . dujə өiŋk ðer ar pipl ðæʔ go өru laif nevr hæviŋ ðæʔ kaindəv ]

Ross: Probably.

[ prabəbli ]

Rachel: Really?

[ rıli ]

Ross But you know, I'll tell you something. Passion is way overrated.

[ bʌbʌbʌʔjəno . ailteljəsʌmʔm . pæʃən ız wei ovreidəd ]

Rachel: Yeah right.

[ jærait ]

Ross: It is. Eventually, it kind of... burns out. But hopefully, what you're left with is trust, and security, and... well, in the case of my ex-wife, lesbianism. So, you know, for all of those people who miss out on that passion... thing, there's all that other good stuff.

Rachel: (sigh) OK.

[ okei ]

Ross: But, um... I don't think that's going to be you.

[ bʌʔəm . aidonөiŋk ðæts gənə bi ju ]

Rachel: You don't.

[ ju don ]

Ross: Uh-uh. See, I see.... big passion in your future.

Rachel: You do?

[ judu ]

Ross: I do.

Rachel: Oh Ross, you're so great. (she playfully rubs his head and gets up. Ross gets up, pleased with himself.)

Joey: It's never going to happen.

[ ıʔs nevr gənə hæpən ]

Ross: (innocently) What?

[ hwət ]

Joey: You and Rachel.

[ ju æn reiʧl ]

Ross: (acts surprised) What? Why not?

[ hwət . hwainat ]

Joey: Because you waited too long to make your move, and now you're in the friend zone.

[ bikəz ju weidəd tulaŋdə meikjr muv . ænæʊjr ınðə frenzon ]

Ross: No, no, no. I'm not in the zone.

[ no . no . no . aim nadın ðə zon ]

Joey: Ross, you're mayor of the zone.

Ross: I'm taking my time, alright? I'm laying the groundwork. Yeah. I mean, every day I get just a little bit closer to...

Ross: Oh yeah? She just ran her fingers through my hair. Were you missing that interaction?

[ ojæ.ʃiʤəsrænhr fiŋgrz өrumaiher . wrju ə mısiŋ ðædınrækʃən ]

Joey: No-no-no-no. This is running fingers through your hair. (Demonstrates). Kay? Now this (lightly touches Ross' hair)...is a tousle. Look, Ross if you don't ask her out soon you're going to end up stuck in the zone forever.

Joey: Yeeeeaaaahhh! What's messing you up? The wine? The candles? The moonlight? You've just got to (have to) go up to her and you got to (have to) say, 'Rachel, I think that...' (Rachel comes into the room behind them)

Rachel: What are you shushing?

[ hwədrjə ʃʊʃiŋ ]

Ross: We're shushing... because... we're trying to hear something. Listen. (everyone is silent) Don't you hear that?
