Quotes:

Chandler: No, I don't want to tell anybody else because I don't want Monica to find out.
Phoebe: You told me.
Chandler: Well, it's because I trust you, you're one of my best friends, and you walked in on me when I was looking at ring brochures.
Phoebe: Yeah well, once again not knocking pays off. I only wish you hadn't been on the toilet.
Chandler: Me too.

Chandler chooses the perfect ring!

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

Chandler has serious doubts about which engagement ring he should buy to give Monica, and he asks Phoebe for some help to pick the perfect ring. (Phoebe is the only one who knows that Chandler will propose to Monica!) Chandler finds the perfect ring, but it costs U$ 8.600. He needs to get his credit card with Joey, so he asks Phoebe to be responsible to watch the ring while he is not in the store. But Phoebe gets distracted and another guy buys the ring that Chandler wanted to give Monica.

Rachel tells Phoebe that Paul is a very serious and introverted guy, that hardly says about his feelings. This is annoying Rachel a lot, since she almost doesn't know anything about him and when she asks him about something he almost doesn't develop the chat. When Rachel asks Paul about his childhood,however, he cries a lot, making their dinner be canceled and Rachel be nervous and irritated. Now, the problem is the opposite: Paul won't stop crying. So Rachel ends up their relationship.

Ross and Joey think that Chandler is ignoring them, but Chandler tells them that he is going to propose Monica.
