    • Trivia
      The producers wanted to use U2's "With or Without You" as the background clip for Ross and Rachel's kiss; however, there wasn't enough time for them to arrange for the necessary rights. Instead of the song, a studio clip similar to the band's playing style was used. The actual song "With or Without You" is played in the following episode.
    • Goofs
      When Rachel ask Ross and Julie are they getting a cat together? She's not wearing a necklace; camera turns to Ross then when it cuts back to Rachel she has a necklace. Back to Ross when she asks "both of you?" Back to Rachel no necklace.

    Weird Episode To Watch
    A weird episode for me this one.

    Plot In A Paragraph: Upset that Ross is buying a cat with his girlfriend Julie, Rachel gets drunk on a date and leaves him a drunken voicemail saying she is over him. Meanwhile when Chandler is upset when he finds out he has put on a little weight, an unemployed and bored Monica appoints herself his personal trainer (Even if he wants her to or not) and Phoebe worries the guy she is dating does not think she is sexy enough as he doesn't seem to want to sleep with her.

    My mixed feelings on this episode stem from the Phoebe storyline being very sexist. The Chandler and Monica storyline was fun, but again David Schwimmers acting was awkward to watch once he heard the voicemail.

    But we get to see Ross and Rachel have their first real kiss.

    A generous 7/10 for the Perry and Cox storyline and the first kiss.
