"Hi, Julie." Everyone greeted.
"Okay, while Ross is on the phone everybody owes me 62 bucks for his birthday." Chandler said.
"No problem." Erika nodded.
"Is there any chance that you're rounding up?" Phoebe asked.
"Come on, we got the gift, the concert and the cake." Chandler listed.
"Do we need a cake?" Joey questioned.

"Sorry I'm late! Appointment ran longer than expected. Congrats, Mon!" Erika exclaimed as she sat down beside her brother before clinking her glass with everyone, "where's Chandler?" Erika asked before Chandler waked in, "never mind, found him."

"I will have the side salad." Rachel smiled.
"And what would that be on the side of?" The waiter asked.
Rachel leaned back, "I don't know. Why don't you just put it right here next to my water."
