User Reviews

The one with Sting!

Monica buys new boots, which were very, VERY expensive. Chandler tries to convince Monica to give the boots back, but she promises him that she is going to use them all the time, specially because they are so beautiful. Monica suffers using the boots, who are always hurting her feet.

Joey asks Rachel to talk to his young sister Dina, who loves Fashion and is interested in this type of career. Rachel accepts, but Dina reveals to her that the reason she wants to talk with her is to ask her help, since Dina is pregnant and doesn't know how to tell Joey about it. Rachel convinces Dina to tell Joey about her pregnancy, but not only he stays angry with the situation, but also wants to marry Dina to her stupid boyfriend.

Phoebe discovers that Ben, Ross' son, studies in the Smithfield School, the same school of Sting's son. She insists to Ross to ask Sting for tickets for their concert, but since Ross doesn't know him well and Ben and Sting's son doesn't get along, he cannot give Phoebe the tickets. Phoebe pretends to be one of Ben's moms to talk to Sting and see if she can get the tickets.
