So, let’s get started.
Would you like some gum?
Oh. Is it sugarless?
Uh, sorry, it's not.
Then, no, thanks.
What the hell was that?
Mental note: If Jill Goodacre offers you gum, you take it.
If she offers you mangled animal carcass, you take it.
You know, on second thought, gum would be perfection.
Gum would be perfection?
Gum would be perfection.
Could've said, "Gum would be nice." "I'll have a stick." But, no.
For me, gum is perfection.
I loathe myself.
All right. Okay. What next?
Blow a bubble. A bubble's good.
It's got a, uh, boyish charm. It's impish.
Here we go.
Nice going, imp.
Okay. It's okay. All I need to do is reach over and put it back in my mouth.
Good save. We're back on track and I'm chewing someone else's gum.
This is not my gum.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
And now you're choking.
Are you all right?
Oh, my God. You're choking.
Better?
Yes.
Thank you. That was...
That was...
Perfection?
Chandler, we've been here for an hour doing this. Watch, it's easy.
- Ready? - Mm-hm.
Okay? Now try it.
You gotta whip it.
- This has been fu n. - Yes.
Yes. Thanks for, uh, letting me use your phone and for saving my life.
Well, goodbye, Chandler.
I had a great blackout.
