【跟着美剧练发音】老友记42

文本：

Rachel: Guess what? 

Ross: You got a job? 

Rachel: Are you kidding? I'm trained for nothing ! I was laughed out of twelve interviews today. 

Chandler: And yet you're surprisingly upbeat. 

Rachel: Well, you would be too if you found John and David boots on sale, fifty percent off ! 

Chandler: Oh, how well you know me... 

Rachel: They're my new 'I don't need a job, I don't need my parents, I've got great boots' boots! 

Monica: How'd you pay for them? 

Rachel: Uh, credit¹ card. 

Monica: And who pays for that? 

Rachel: Um... my... father. 

[Scene: Monica and Rachel's, everyone is sitting around the kitchen table. Rachel's credit cards are spread out on the table along with a pair of scissors².]

Monica: C'mon, you can't live off your parents your whole life. 

Rachel: I know that.That's why I was getting married . 

Phoebe: Give her a break, it's hard being on your own for the first time. 

Rachel: Thank you.

Phoebe: You're welcome. I remember when I first came to this city. I was fourteen. My mom had just killed herself and my step-dad was back in prison, and I got here, and I didn't know anybody. And I ended up living with this albino guy who was, like, cleaning windshields outside port authority³, and then he killed himself, and then I found aromatherapy. So believe me, I know exactly how you feel. 

(Pause) 

Ross: The word you're looking for is 'Anyway'... 

Monica: All right, you ready?

Rachel: I don't think so.

Ross: C'mon, cut. Cut, cut, cut,... 

All: Cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut..

(She finishes cutting them up and they all cheer.)

Monica: 

Welcome to the real world! It sucks⁴. You're gonna love it!
