"The One Where No One's Ready" is the second episode of the third season of the American television situation comedy ''Friends'' and 50th overall., which aired on NBC on September 26, 1996. The plot centers on Ross's (David Schwimmer) anxiety as his friends take too long getting ready for a function that evening. The episode was written by Ira Ungerleider and directed by Gail Mancuso. It is a bottle episode, featuring only three speaking roles besides the central cast; occurs in real time; and takes place almost entirely in the living room of Monica and Rachel's apartment. ==Plot== In the teaser segment, Chandler (Matthew Perry) encourages Joey (Matt LeBlanc) to drink from a glass in Monica (Courteney Cox)'s fridge that appears to contain cider. In actuality, it contains rendered chicken fat. After the credits, Ross (David Schwimmer) arrives to gather everyone together for an important function at his museum. No one is ready, despite only 22 minutes remaining for them to don their formal attire. Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow) arrives at Monica's apartment fully dressed and ready to go, much to Ross's delight. Unfortunately, during Joey and Chandler's argument, Joey accidentally flings hummus onto Phoebe's dress. She tries to ask Monica what gets out hummus, but Monica is too distracted with her own problems. Rachel then tries to find something else for Phoebe to wear, but is unsuccessful. Phoebe eventually finds a Christmas ribbon meant to garnish a present in Rachel's room and wears that on her dress to cover the stain. After Chandler (Matthew Perry) comes back from the bathroom, he is dismayed to find that Joey (Matt LeBlanc) took his chair while he was up. They argue over the chair until Ross orders Chandler to get dressed. When he does, Joey surrenders the chair but takes its cushions with him. Unbeknowest to him, Chandler has already taken his revenge by hiding all of Joey's underwear, forcing him to go commando in a rented tux. Joey promises to do the "opposite" of Chandler hiding his underwear, and emerges wearing everything Chandler owns (and still sans underwear). Ross finally steps in and bans them, and indeed everyone, from the function. When Monica returns, she checks her answering-machine messages and hears a message from her ex-boyfriend Richard (voice of Tom Selleck). She is unable to determine whether the message was left before or after they broke up (as depicted in the 2nd-season finale, two episodes ago). In a fit of insecurity, she breaks into his voicemail, and hears a message left by another woman, leading her to believe that Richard has already begun seeing someone else. Chandler suggests the woman might be Richard's daughter Michelle (uncredited voice role), and Monica confirms this by prank-calling her. Unfortunately, Michelle calls her back, and Monica admits her indiscretions. She is unable to secure Michelle's silence on the matter, so she breaks into Richard's voicemail again to erase all his messages and record a new one. However, she has the misfortune to delete and re-record his ''outgoing'' message, humiliating herself to all the world. Rachel (Jennifer Aniston) is the only one almost ready to go, but she cannot decide on what to wear, trying Ross's patience. Eventually he snaps and yells at her in front of everyone, demanding that she pick out ''any'' outfit at all so that they can go. In response, Rachel emerges in sweats, having lost interest in attending the function. Ross, apologetic, asks what he can do to make it up to her, to which Joey suggests that he drink the glass of chicken fat. Ross agrees; fortunately, Rachel stops him just as the glass touches his lips. Overwhelmed by the depths of his love for her, she dresses in record time while Ross sorts out Joey and Chandler's argument, and Monica makes her final disastrous access to Richard's answering machine. Finally, she and Ross are the only ones in the apartment, with five seconds to spare. They kiss, but Rachel chivvies them out the door to make sure they are not late... but not before letting something slip: "I'm going commando too." Over the credits, Prof. Sherman Whitfield (Peter Dennis) joins Ross's table to congratulate him. When Chandler returns, he declares that Whitfield is in his seat, culminating in his demanding the professor's underwear. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The One Where No One's Ready」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
