 地点：中央公园咖啡馆

人物：瑞秋，罗斯

事件：罗斯向瑞秋抱怨自己教新课频频迟到，但决心继续坚持下去。

Rachel: You were 50 minutes late to the class. Did you crawl¹ there?

瑞秋：你上课迟到了50分钟？你是爬过去的吗？

Ross: No, I ran. It was really far, and when did people stop understanding the phrase, "Get the hell² out of my way!"

罗斯：不是，我是跑过去的。那真的很远，而且现在的人怎么听不懂人话：“别挡我的路！”

Rachel: Well, why didn't you just take a cab³?

瑞秋：那你干嘛不搭出租车啊？

Ross: Ugh, between the traffic that time of day and all the one-way streets it'll take me twice as long. Besides, I teach the class three times a week, who am I? Rockefeller?

罗斯：哎，那段时间交通很堵，再加上一路都是单行道，搭出租车要花上两倍的时间。另外，我一周上三堂课，你当我像洛克菲勒那样有钱啊？

Rachel: Well you're not gonna be able to keep doing this.

瑞秋：你这样下去会吃不消的。

Ross: Well I have to. Okay? If I don't, they'll take the class away from me. And...I already put it in my family newsletter.

罗斯：可我也没办法啊，明白吗？如果我不那么做，他们就会不让我教这门课了。而我已经在家族通讯里报道这件事了。

Rachel: You what?

瑞秋：什么？

Ross: You've seen it, the Geller Yeller.

罗斯：你看过的，《盖勒通讯报》

Rachel: Right. Wow!
