Every Friends Joke

After some convincing Ross seems to like Joey's dating again idea. But Ross feels it was too long since he last was on a real date. And now Ross is afraid he has completely forgotten how to ask a girl out. Ross : Do you know how long it's been since I grabbed a spoon? Do the words, "Billy, don't be a hero", mean anything to you? What is this 'Billy, Don't Be a Hero' phrase? And how does it tell us, when Ross last dated?

Is A-Wondering any different from just Wondering ? Paul the wine guy has finally asked Monica out and now is on her doorstep. All of Monica's friends are in the apartment too though and they will not fail to have some fun at her expense. This friendly mockery overloads Monica's nervous system, who is already desperately trying to keep her excitement in check. Monica:   I'll be right back. I've just gotta go...
