The One Where No One's Ready

Chandler: All right. I took the quiz and it turns out I do put career before men.

Get up.

Joey: What?

Chandler: You're in my seat.

Joey: How is this your seat?

Chandler: 'Cause I was sitting there.

Joey: But then you left.

Chandler: Well, it's not like I went to Spain! I went to the bathroom, you knew I was coming back.

Joey: What's the big deal? Sit somewhere else.

Chandler: The big deal is I was sitting there last. So, it's my seat.

Joey: Actually the last place you were sitting was in there, so...

Ross: Guys, you know what, it doesn't matter, because you both have to go get dressed before the big vein in my head pops, so...

Chandler: All right Ross, I jut have to do one thing, really quickly, it' not a big deal... Get up!

All right, fine, you know what? We'll both sit in the chair.

Joey: Fine with me.

Chandler: I'm so comfortable.

Joey: Me too. In fact, I think I might be a little too comfortable.

Chandler: All right.

You will notice that I am fully dressed. I, in turn, have noticed that you are not, so in the words of A.A Milne, "get out of my chair, dillhole"!

Joey: Ok...

Chandler: Wht are you doing?

Joey: Well, you said I had to give you the chair, you didn't say anything abouth the cushions.

Chandler: The cushions are the essence of the chair!

Joey: That's right! I'm taking the essence.

Chandler: Hoho, he will be back. Hoho, there's nobody in the room.

Joey: Where's my underwear?

Ross: Come on, come on you took his underwear?

Chandler: He took my essence!

Ross: Ok, hold on. Joey, why can't you just wear the underwear your wearing now?

Joey: Because I'm not wearing any underwear now.
Ross: Ok, uhm, then why do you have to wear underwear tonight?
Joey: It's a rented tux. Ok? I'm not gonna go commando in another man's fatigues.
Chandler: Well, then it looks like somebody's gonna have to give somebody back his cushions.
Joey: Ok. You hide my clothes, I'm gonna do the exact opposite to you.
Chandler; What? What are you, gonna show me my clothes?
Joey: Hey, opposite is opposite.
Chandler: He's got nothing!
Joey: Ok buddy boy, here it is. You hide my clothes, I'm wearing everything you own.
Chandler: Oh my God! That is so not the opposite of taking somebody's underwear!
Joey: Look at me! I'm Chandler! Could I be wearing any more clothes? Maybe if I wasn't going commando.
Yeah... Ooh.. I'll tell you, it's hot with all this stuff on, I uh... I'd better not do any, you know, lunges.

Chandler: Excuse me. Hi.
Man sitting: Yes?
Chandler: You know you're kind of sitting in my seat.
Man sitting: What do you mean, your seat? 
Chandler: I mean I was sitting there.
Man sitting: But you got up!
Chandler: But I never left the room.
Man sitting: But you left the chair area.
Chandler: All right, that's it. Give me your underwear.

Grammar

Might

We use 'might' to suggest a small possibility of something. Often we read that 'might' suggests a smaller possibility than 'may', there is in fact little difference and 'might is more usual than 'may' in spoken English.

• She might be at home by now but it's not sure at all.
• It might rain this afternoon.
• I might not have time to go to the shops for you.
• I might not go.
