- Oh! Hey, Rach! - Hi.
- Happy Valentine's Day! - You too!
Hey, so, uh, how's it going living over at Ross?
It's good, except he makes us watch the Discovery Channel all day long.
Did you know that something really boring happened to someone really ugly in the Middle Ages?
- Thank you. See you guys later. - Okay.
- Bye. - Bye.
That is one lucky to-go cup of coffee.
Oh, honey.
I wish you'd get over her.
I hate seeing you like this.
Is there anything I can do for you?
Do you wanna look down my top?
Thanks. Maybe later.
Oh, Gunther, can I get a scone?
You want anything?
You know what I want? I want a lot of things.
I wanna be with the woman I love on Valentine's Day!
I want her to love me back.
And I want just one moment of relief from my gut-wrenching pain of knowing that's never gonna happen!
We have red bagels.
Okay.
- Hey. - Mm.
I know you've been really depressed lately, so I’ve brought someone over to cheer you up.
Right outside this door is a real, live, furry playmate.
No, I'm not sleeping with your friend Jane again.
Hey, a dog! Oh, hi!
Who, you gotta admit, looks a lot like Jane.
This is the happiest dog in the world.
I borrowed him from my friend Wendy.
So you can keep him until he cheers you up. And he will cheer you up.
Thanks so much, Pheebs.
We are gonna have so much fun! Yes we are!
Oh, not that kind of fun.
Get the ball. Ready? Get the ball!
You're cute, but you're not too smart.
Yeah. Did I just throw this?
- Hi. - Hi.
I accidentally packed these with my stuff.
Who is this?
That's, uh, Phoebe's friend's dog.
I don't know what his real name is. I call him Mozzarella.
Ohh, you are so cute. I wish I could play with you more, but I've gotta go to work.
I hope I stop talking like this before my marketing meeting. Yes, I do.
Bye-bye, Joey. Seriously, I can't stop it.
Come here! Hey!
Hey. That's Rachel. She's the one who used to live here.
Might as well be honest with you. We love her.
But we can't have her. No.
I really miss her.
Hey, you understand, right? You're a guy.
Well, you used to be.
So between her and me being friends, and her history with Ross
it just isn't gonna happen.
It'd be like you falling in love with a cat.
Hey, buddy. How's my favorite dog, huh?
How's my favorite dog?
You're subdued.
- Did you give him a beer? - No.
Will you excuse us? We need to talk for a moment.
Yeah, sure.
Oh, me, right.
- He's miserable. What happened to him? - Nothing.
- We just talked about stuff. - What stuff?
Rachel stuff.
Oh, Joey, you bummed him out!
This is the happiest dog in the world.
He spends a day with you, and look at him.
He's breathing.
- I'll take him back to Wendy's. - No, no, no. He's fine.
Hey, look. Look.
Here's your ball! Get the ball!
Get your ball! Get your ball! Get your ball!
Get... God, what have I done to you? Huh?
I broke the dog, Pheebs! I broke the dog!
- Happy Valentine's Day! - You too!
Valentine’s Day: 14 February, the day you celebrate with your valentine, someone you love
It's good, except he makes us watch the Discovery Channel all day long.
Discovery Channel: an American TV channel that provides TV programs focused on science,
technology, history, etc.
That is one lucky to-go cup of coffee.
to-go: to be taken away and eaten somewhere else
I wish you'd get over her.

or to get better after an illness
Is there anything I can do for you? Do you wanna look down my top?
Thanks. Maybe later.

Oh, Gunther, can I get a scone?
scone: a small, round cake that is like bread, made from flour, milk, and a little fat
And I want just one moment of relief from my gut-wrenching pain of knowing that's never gonna happen!
relief: feel happy after something unhappy has ended
gut-wrenching: making you feel very upset or worried
Joey wants a relief from his gut-wrenching pain. Here the “gut-wrenching pain” refers to
“Joey loves Rachel but she won’t love him”
We have red bagels.
bagel: a type of bread that is small, hard and in the shape of a ring
I know you've been really depressed lately, so I’ve brought someone over to cheer you up.

Right outside this door is a real, live, furry playmate.
No, I'm not sleeping with your friend Jane again.
furry: covered with fur

The joke here was that Joey thought that the “real, live, furry playmate” was Phoebe’s friend Jane,
but it turned out to be a dog.
Who, you gotta admit, looks a lot like Jane.

admit: to agree that something is true
I accidentally packed these with my stuff.

pack: to put something into a bag or a box
I don't know his real name. I call him Mozzarella.

Bye-bye, Joey. Seriously, I can't stop it.
seriously: not joking
Hey. That's Rachel. She's the one who used to live here.
Hey, you understand, right? You're a guy. Well, you used to be.
used to: shows that something happened in the past but it no longer happens now
Might as well be honest with you. We love her.
might as well: used to suggest doing something, often when there is nothing better to do
It just isn't gonna happen. It'd be like you falling in love with a cat.
It'd be like you falling in love with a cat
Joey used an analogy here. A dog of course cannot falls in love with a cat. It’s impossible. It won’t happen.
Hey, buddy. How's my favorite dog, huh?

favorite: best liked or most enjoyed
You're subdued.

He's miserable. What happened to him?

- We just talked about stuff. - What stuff?
- Rachel stuff.
stuff: things, especially when you are referring to them in a general way without saying exactly what they are
Oh, Joey, you bummed him out!
bum somebody out: to make someone feel sad
This is the happiest dog in the world. He spends a day with you, and look at him.
He’s breathing.
He’s breathing: Here Joey means that the dog is still alive. He thinks that the dog is happy.
I broke the dog, Pheebs! I broke the dog!
break: to destroy something. Here it means Joey has made the dog unhappy.
