triangle Script 대본 Roteiro Texto

Ross: Hey, everybody. Happy Thanksgiving!

Chandler: No, no, no, no, no, no.

Ross: What? Are we keeping Thanksgiving a secret this year?

Chandler: No, we are playing this game I learned at work. You have to name all the states in six minutes.

Ross: What? That's like insanely easy.

Chandler: No, it's a lot harder than it sounds. You always forget at least one, or in some cases, 14.

Monica: It's a stupid game, and I wasn't playing against other people, so technically I didn't lose.

Ross: What? You forgot 14 states?

Monica: Nobody cares about the Dakotas.

Chandler: Oh, okay. Time's up.

Rachel: Alright, I got 48.

Chandler: Oh, that's not bad. Pheebs?

Phoebe: Oh, I got tired of naming states, so I decided to list the types of celery. And I have one: regular celery.

Joey: Say hello to the new champ of Chandler's dumb states game.

Ross: Wow, how many you got?

Joey: 56!


Ross: Done with time to spare!

Chandler: Ooh, this may be a new world's record.

Ross: You know, I hate to lecture you guys, but it's kind of disgraceful that a group of well-educated adults, and Joey, can't name all the states. You ever see a map or one of those round colorful things called a globe?

Chandler: Uh, Magellan, you got 46 states.

Ross: What? That's impossible!

Joey: 46. Well, who's well-educated now, Mr. I Forgot 10 States?

Monica: Right, I'm out of oven space. I'm going to go turn on Joey's. Please watch him. Do not let Joey eat any of the food.

Chandler: I am only one man.

Chandler: Okay, Ross. Time is up.

Ross: No, just give me another minute!

Chandler: Look, Ross, if you don't know them by now, you will never know them, okay? That is the beauty of this game. It makes you want to kill yourself.

Ross: This, this is crazy. I can do this. Alright, I bet I can get all 50 before dinner.

Chandler: Okay, but if you can't, no dinner.

Ross: You're on!


Ross: Delaware. Delaware.

Chandler: Alright.

Ross: I want my turkey now.

Chandler: You got it. You got Nevada twice.

Ross: I know!
