Chandler: Well, this is fascinating. So, uh, what is it about me?

Phoebe: I dunno, 'cause you're smart, you're funny...

Chandler: Ross is smart and funny, d'you ever think that about him?

All: Yeah! Right!

Chandler: WHAT IS IT?!

Lowell: It's like Mardi Gras without the paper mache heads. How 'bout you?

【典故讲解】Mardi Gras
这是美国南部一些州在天主教复活节斋戒前的盛大狂欢节，正确的日子应该在“四旬
斋前的最后一天”。因为马上要进入斋戒，所以人们抓住最后机会狂欢。在这个狂欢节上
，很多人要举行大头游行，用纸糊的大头(paper mache heads)装饰，这是狂欢节最快乐的
节目之一。所以，剧中钱德勒问他的同性恋同事洛厄尔财务部状况还好吗，洛厄尔回答说
：“就像Mardi Gras狂欢节没有大头游行一样。”也就是说，不怎么样。
