Rachel, you're killing us. Will you serve the dessert (already)? There's drunken dancers are waiting!
Look at it. Isn't it beautiful?
Yeah. What is it?
It's a trifle. It's got all these (layers). First there's a layer of ladyfingers, then jam, then custard, which I made (from scratch), then raspberries, more ladyfingers, then beef sauted with peas and onions, then a little bit more custard, then bananas and then I put whipped cream on top.
What was the one (right) before bananas?
The beef. Yeah, that was (weird) to me too. But then I thought, Well, there's minced meat pie. That's an English dessert. These people just put (strange) things in their food. Can I borrow rum from your place?
Yeah, sure.
While I'm gone, don't you boys (sneak a taste).
Beef in a dessert?
No, no, no. There is (no way).
I know. And only one layer of jam? What is (up) with that?
Oh, my God. She made half an English trifle and half a shepherd's pie! The pages are (stuck) together.
Man, now she's gonna start all over. We're never gonna get to introduce the hot girls to the New World.
No, no, we will. We just won't tell her she (messed up).
Just let her serve the beef-custard thing?
Yeah. It'll be like a funny Thanksgiving story.
Vomiting stories are funny, I guess.
--------------
You're whipping so slow. Do it faster!
I don't want to (make) any mistakes! If I screw it up, everybody's gonna be like: "Oh, remember that Thanksgiving when Rachel (screwed up) the trifle?" Why don’t you just let me worry about the trifle, and you just worry about eating it.
Oh, I am.
-----------------
We have to tell Rachel she (messed) up her dessert.
What? What is with everybody? It's Thanksgiving, not Truth Day!
Look, when everyone eats that banana-meat thing they'll all (make) fun of her. Do you want that?
We'll just get everyone to act (like) they like it. That way, no one makes fun of her and we still get to go to sweet potato pie.
----------------------
And if anyone needs help (pretending) to like it, I learned some things in acting class. Try (rubbing) your stomach or saying "Mmm”. Smiling.
I'm not gonna pay for those acting classes anymore.
Rachel, there you are. Let's serve that dessert already!
Joey, you’re gonna have to stop (rushing) me. You know what? You don't get any dessert.
Really?
No, just kidding. I would never do that (to you). Okay, everybody, it's trifle time.
Now, Rach, this is a traditional English trifle, isn't it?
It sure is.
Wow. So did you make it with beef or eggplant?
Beef.
I can't have any. You know I don't eat meat.
Monica, I want you to (have) the first taste.
Really?
Wait, you only got whipped cream in there. You gotta (take) a bite with all the layers.
Okay.
You dropped a pea.
Well?
Ummm. It's good.
Really? How good? It's so good that I really feel selfish about being the only one who's eating it. I think we should have everyone (taste) how good it is. Especially Ross.
This is so good that I'm gonna go enjoy it on the balcony. So that I can enjoy the (view) whilst I enjoy my dessert.
I've gotta call my friend and tell her how good this is from Monica's room.
I’ll help you (dial).
I'm gonna go into the bathroom so I can look at it in the mirror as I eat it.
What was that all about? Does it not taste good? Let me (try) it.
No, no! (All gone)! So good. Maybe Chandler has some left. It tastes like feet.
I like it!
Are you kidding?
What's not to like? Custard, good. Jam, good. Meat, good!
