    The One with Rachel's Book

    Monica is seriously annoying here.

    Thank goodness the Joey/Rachel storyline is a lot of fun to make up for it, with the Ross/Phoebe storyline not being bad either.

    • Trivia
      On the blackboard behind Ross when he's telling his students that he came up with the idea for Jurassic Park, it says that he was bitten by a mosquito and had a dream which led to the idea.
    • Goofs
      The entire series, Ross is referred to as a "medical marvel" because they never thought his mom would be able to conceive a child. In this episode, Monica's parents are out to dinner with her and Chandler when they tell the story of when they got married and how he had gotten Judy pregnant before the wedding, accidentally.
    • Quotes

      Monica Geller: I can't believe - there is no money for my wedding?

      Judy Geller: We might still have some money, if your father hadn't thought it was a good idea to sell *ice* over the internet.

      Jack Geller: It seemed like such a simple idea.

      Judy Geller: Stupid, Jack. The word is stupid.
