 地点：中央公园咖啡馆

人物：乔伊，瑞秋，钱德勒，冈瑟

事件：瑞秋已经厌倦了为她讨厌的工作接受再培训，而乔伊和钱德勒认为，瑞秋只有辞掉现在的工作才能有动力向前看。

Joey: If you ask me, as long as you got this job, you've got nothing pushing you to get another one. You need the fear.

乔伊：要我说，只要你还干着这份工作，就没有找新工作的动力。你需要的是“恐惧”。

Rachel: The fear?

瑞秋：恐惧？

Chandler: He's right. If you quit this job, you then have motivation to go after a job you really want.

钱德勒：他说得对，如果你辞掉这份工作，你就会有动力追求你心目中理想的工作。

Rachel: Well then how come you're still at a job that you hate? I mean why don't you quit and get "the fear"?

瑞秋：那为什么你还在做你讨厌的工作呢？你怎么不辞职来获得“恐惧”呢？

Chandler: Because, I'm too afraid.

钱德勒：因为，我怂。

Rachel: I don't know. I mean I would give anything to work for a designer¹, y'know, or a buyer.... Oh, I just don't want to be 30 and still work here.

瑞秋：我不知道，我是说，我愿意放弃一切成为一名设计师或采购员……哦，我就是不想到了30岁的时候还在这里工作。

Chandler: Yeah, that'd be much worse than being 28, and still working here.

钱德勒：对，那是要比28岁了还在这里工作糟糕多了。

Gunther: Rachel?

冈瑟：瑞秋？

Rachel: Yeah.

瑞秋：干嘛？

Gunther: Remind me to review with you which pot is decaf and which is regular.

冈瑟：提醒我跟你复习哪壶是低因咖啡，哪壶是普通咖啡。

Rachel: Can't I just look at the handles on them?

瑞秋：我难道就不能只看杯子的把手吗？

Gunther: You would think.
