This excerpt, from Season10, is from one of my favorite "Friends" episodes of all time. Ross invites Rachel and Joey over for dinner, along with his girlfriend Charlie Wheeler. Ross used to date Rachel; Joey used to date Charlie. All in all, it is an incredibly awkward experience and Ross is very clearly incapable of handling the fact that Joey and Rachel, two of his best friends, are in a relationship. In an attempt to create a fun Mexican feasts for his guests, Ross prepares fajitas and margaritas....and then he drinks way too many margaritas and doesn't counter it by eating enough fajitas.
[Ross recently found out that Joey and Rachel are dating and is now drunk on margaritas. He decides to make a toast to his dinner guests.]
Ross: Ah, love. L-O-V-E, love. "L" is for life. I mean, what is life without love?
[long pause]
Rachel: [to Joey] Oh my God, are we supposed to answer?
Ross: "O" is for...oh, wow! "V"...is for this very...surprising turn of events...which I am still fine with, by the way!
[long pause...Ross's dinner guests believe he is done with his toast and turn back to their margaritas. They are interrupted by Ross's incessant squealing.]
Ross: "EEEE"...is for how extreeeemeeely...normal...I find it that you two are together!
[some further conversation ensues and the timer goes off in the kitchen. Ross has no idea what could be finished cooking, seeing as he has already provided his guests with all of the Mexican treats their hearts could desire. He goes into the kitchen and returns carrying a tray, having drunkenly forgotten to wear oven mitts.]
Ross: I guess I made Tater tots!
