故事梗概


饱食Monica的感恩节大餐后,大家开始重温过去经历的痛苦,忆苦思甜,分别回顾着自己曾过的最糟糕的感恩节。镜头首先闪回到7978年,由于父亲是个同性恋,那年Chandlen目睹了父母离异.Chandler对感恩节的童年记忆是父母离婚;而前世的Phoebe在1862年和1915的感恩节曾两虚丧失手臂。时光又倒流到1992年,Joey为了吓唬Chandler,把一只火鸡套到自己头上。可谁料。Joey的头却被卡在了火鸡里;当大家阎起Monica过的最郁闷的感恩节时,镜头带我们圈到了1987年那年的感恩节,当年肥胖的Monica暗自喜欢Chandler.但Chandler却嫌弃她太胖,这伤了Monica的自尊。之后,Monica又回顾了1988年那年糟糕的感恩节,Monica想用Rachel教给她的办法来“勾引”Chandler,岂料从她手中意外滑落的刀使Chandler失掉了一个脚趾尖。


(Monica enters, but she forgot something. Oh, about 150 pounds. In other words, she lost weight, big time!)

Monica: Hi, Chandler.

Chandler: Oh my God!

Monica: What-what's the matter? Is there, is there something on my dress? (She turns around making sure he gets a good look.)

Chandler: You just, you look so different! Terrific! That dress! That body!
