Little Facts

- What music is playing while Monica and Chandler work out? Macho Man, by The Village People.
- What music is playing when Ross and Rachel kiss in the coffee house? As best as can be determined, this music was simply created by the WB Studio (where the show is taped). I actually remember reading an official Friends newsletter from Warner Brothers, stating this.
- What music is playing when Chandler dances away from Monica at the end? Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, from The Nutcracker, by Tchaikovsky.
- Ross mentions his and Monica's childhood cat. In TOW the List, the very next episode, we learn Monica's allergic to cats.
- In the scene where Ross and Julie say they are going to get a cat, first Rachel is wearing a necklace, cut to Ross who says something, cut back to Rachel - The necklace is gone! Then cut back to Ross who says something, cut back to Rachel, and suddenly the necklace is hanging from the tray. I know this sounds crazy. You have to watch it to believe it. A terrible editing error there.
- David Schwimmer wasn't very talented with the timing. When Rachel left a message for Ross, calling from the restaurant, it went on for much longer than it took for Ross to hear it all. He almost instantly asks whom Michael is, and just a few seconds later he knows she's "over" him. When she left the message it took at least ten seconds longer for her to mention Michael and then get to the "over you" part. [Note - I suggest that he probably left plenty of space during the filming, but this was removed during editing. Remember, TV shows have to be cut really tight to be the exact length necessary. They don't tend to let blank silences make it to the final cut. It's still a blooper, but not Schwimmer's fault.]
- Ross comes by Monica's to pick up the cat toys, but he doesn't have them when he leaves.
- A break up scene for Ross and Julie was written, but the writers decided to skip it, because everyone's hearts would be with Ross and Julie if they kept it in, instead of with Ross and Rachel.
