Trivia:

Dr. Richard Burke (Tom Selleck), recites an excerpt from a poem at dinner: "In the sweetness of friendship, let there be laughter and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things, the heart finds its morning and is refreshed." It is the end of Kahlil Gibran's "On Friendship".

Quotes:

[Chandler and Monica run into Richard and his new girlfriend]
Richard: I see you grew your hair long.
Monica: Yeah. Oh, that's right, you always wanted me to. I see you grew your mustache back.
Richard: Yeah, my nose was getting lonely.
Chandler: [to Richard's date] And you don't have a mustache, which is good.
[laughs, stops abruptly and extends his hand]
Chandler: Hi, I'm Chandler and I make jokes when I'm uncomfortable.

Wonderful Tonight

Chandler is going to propose to Monica!!

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

Chandler shows all Friends the engagement ring he bought for Monica, and he tells them that he is going to propose Monica today. He has the perfect way to propose: during a perfect dinner. While they have dinner, Monica sees Richard and invites him to dinner with her and Chandler, what makes Chandler's idea to propose her doesn't work.

Rachel call the Friends to a charity event for the kids, and Phoebe and Joey are the ones who confirmed their presence.Ross cannot go, since he is going out with Elizabeth.

All Friends think that Ross' relationship doesn't have any future,since Elizabeth is very young, but Ross says he doesn't care. However, when he sees her throwing water balloons with her friends and one of her friends calls him ''dad'', Ross decides to end the relationship.(Ross feels like a babysitter near her and her friends.)

In the charity event, Joey gives a bid in an auction for a boat of U$2,000. Joey doesn't have the money, since he gave the bid only for fun, so Rachel tries to help him to fix everything.
