Ross: All right, we have a tie. Luckily, I have prepared for such an event. The Lightning Round! Thirty seconds, all the questions you can answer.

Monica: You guys are dead. I am so good at lighting¹ rounds.

Chandler: I majored in lightning rounds. All right, we're gonna destroy you.

Monica: Huh, wanna bet²?

Chandler: Well, I'm so confused as to what we've been doing so far…

Monica: How about we play for more money, say 150?

Rachel: Monica?

Monica: I'm just trying to spice it up!

Rachel: Okay, so let's play for some pepper! Stop spending my money!

Monica: I got it! How about, if we win, they have to get rid of the rooster?

Rachel: Oh, that's interesting.
