Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: When Joey is watching Wheel of Fortune in the Lounge Room he tells Chandler that he thinks the Guy on the show is stupid because he can't solve the puzzle. He yells that it is "Count Rushmore." Chandler looks at him weirdly, obviously because he knows that the correct answer to the puzzle is Mount Rushmore. The puzzle on screen shows.. _ount Rushm_re. In this case the contestant has already selected the letters M and O and the puzzle should already be complete.

Quotes:

Chandler Bing: - Oh, and by the way, there is no Count Rushmore!
Joey Tribbiani: - Yeah? Then who's the guy that painted the faces on the mountain?

The One with the Princess Leia Fantasy

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

Monica is depressed because of the end of her relationship with Richard.

Chandler starts to go out with Janice(who is going to divorce) again, for Joey's despair. Joey really can't handle Janice, and since this time Chandler doesn't want to broke with her, he tries to become her friend. (Without success!)

Rachel wants to spice up things with Ross, and asks him about his sexual fantasies. He tells her that is princess Leia's gold bikini in Star Wars. The problem for him is that Rachel shares his fantasy with her friends, so his fantasy is not a secret anymore.

Feeling encouraged by Rachel to share intimate things with his friends, Ross and Chandler start to talk about their confidences, until Chandler scares Ross with a bizarre fantasy with his mother.
