Richard and Monica run into each other at the video store and after helping him make a lasagna for a potluck dinner, they are knocking boots; clearly they are not over each other. Monica is an attractive woman but her bossy personality and obsessive compulsive behavior makes you wonder just WHAT men see in her! Richard is a mature, good natured man who is firm when he has to be and I'm glad he stuck to his guns when Monica tentatively talked about having babies. Monica, if the man does not want to have children at his age, do NOT try to force it on him, that's why you broke up with him in the first place! Phoebe has no problem saying ridiculous things or speaking her mind in almost every FRIENDS episode so I do not see why she had difficulty telling her current boyfriend his 'you know what' was peeping out of his shorts. Spirited Phoebe was suddenly rather prudish Phoebe. Joey's introduction to Alcott's LITTLE WOMEN was funny and moving. Funny because he thought Jo was a boy and Laurie was a girl and moving because he obviously got to the chapter- THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW - where Beth dies. I've read the book and that chapter in particular still makes me cry.
