Script 대본 Roteiro Guion Сценарій


Gunther: Rachel?

Rachel: Yeah.

Gunther: Do you remember when you first came here, how you spent two weeks getting trained by another waitress?

Rachel: Oh, sure! Do you need me to train somebody new?

Gunther: Good one. Actually, ah, Terry wants you to take the training again, whenever.

Rachel: Eh, do you believe that?

Chandler: Yeah?


Gunther: ...and after you’ve delivered the drinks, you take the empty tray....

Rachel: Gunther, Gunther, please, I’ve worked here for two and a half years, I know the empty trays go over there.

Gunther: What if you put them here.

Rachel: Huh. Well, you know that’s actually a really good idea because that way they’ll be closer to the mugs. You know what? You should have the other waitresses do that too.

Gunther: They already do. That’s why they call it the ‘tray spot.’

Rachel: I’m, I’m sorry.

Gunther: It’s all right. Sweetheart.


Gunther: And when you have a second later, I want to show you why we don’t just trap spiders under coffee mugs and leave them there.

Rachel: I’m training to be better at a job that I hate, my life officially sucks.

Joey: Look Rach, wasn’t this supposed to be a temporary thing? I thought you wanted to do fashion stuff?

Rachel: Well, yeah! I’m still pursuing that.

Chandler: How exactly are you pursuing that? You know other than sending out resumes like what, two years ago?

Joey: If you ask me, as long as you've got this job, you've got nothing pushing you to get another one. You need the fear.

Rachel: The fear?

Chandler: He's right. If you quit this job, you then have motivation to go after a job you really want.

Rachel: Well then how come you’re still at a job that you hate? I mean why don’t you quit and get ‘the fear’?

Chandler: Because I’m too afraid.

Rachel: I don’t know. I mean I would give anything to work for a designer, you know, or a buyer. I just don’t want to be 30 and still work here.

Chandler: Yeah, that’d be much worse than being 28 and still working here.

Gunther: Rachel?

Rachel: Yeah.


Gunther: Remind me to review with you which pot is decaf and which is regular.

Rachel: Can’t I just look at the handles on them?

Gunther: You would think.

Rachel: Okay, fine. Gunther, you know what, I am a terrible waitress. Do you know why I’m a terrible waitress? Because I don’t care. I don’t care. I don’t care which pot is regular and which pot is decaf. I don’t care where the tray spot is. I just don’t care. This is not what I want to do. So I don’t think I should do it anymore. I’m gonna give you my week's notice.

Gunther: What?!

Rachel: Gunther, I quit.

Chandler: Does this mean we are going to have to start paying for coffee?
