Trivia
The scene where Amanda says "I feel like a perfect arse" had to be shot several times because Lisa Kudrow couldn't stop laughing everytime Jennifer Coolidge said the line.

Goofs
When Joey and Rachel try again and Joey brings in the bottle of champagne, you see the camera hole on the right hand side of the apartment door.

Quotes
Chandler: [Ross walks in with a really dark tan] Hold on. There's something different about you.
Ross: I went to that tanning place your wife suggested.
Chandler: Was that place the sun?
Ross: It gets worse.
[holds up his top to reveal one half of his skin is still white]
Chandler: Oh my God! You can do a duet of 'Ebony & Ivory' all by yourself.
Monica: How could you mess this up? It's so easy. You go in the booth, you count to five, and you turn around!
Ross: How do you count to five?
Monica: [counts quickly] One, two, three...
Ross: Dammit!
[Goes to the door to leave. Rachel enters, sees him and starts laughing]
Ross: I know!
Rachel: [after seeing Ross's tan] What is up with Miss Hawaiian Tropic?

Alternate versions
TBS edited out the scene of Rachel Green (Jennifer Aniston) taking off her bra under her shirt and her nipples showing through her shirt.
