　　Ross: Dad?

　　Mr. Geller: I'm here!

　　Mr. Geller: Hi. God, it seems like just yesterday you guys used to come out to watch me work.

　　Ross: Dad, we–we can't believe you're selling the house.

　　Mr. Geller: Well, it's time for a new family to start their memories here and hopefully their check will clear before they find the crack in the foundation and the asbestos in the ceiling.

　　Ross: Let's grab our stuff and get the hell out of here.

　　Mr. Geller: I'm sorry we can't store your childhood things anymore.

　　Monica: Oh, that's okay. I can't wait to see everything again! All of the memories…

　　Mr. Geller: Well, I don't know what's in the boxes down here, but I do know there are six or seven Easy Bake Ovens in the attic¹.

　　Monica: I used to love to play restaurant.
