    This scene really sets the tone of what this show is about people in their twenties not in University, yet not raising families. Friends are your family.

    Just that first scene establishes so much in just a few lines - they are very close Friends who share pretty intimate info about each other, at least two of them are single, at least three are unlucky in love, Monica is on the dating scene, Phoebe is a bit of an odd ball, Joey is straight talking and chandler is sarcastic and quippy.
    Also: twin-tails Phoebe is best Phoebe.

      It’s called anachronism
      It’s just really hard to perfectly plan a whole series, especially 10 seasons.
      When they wrote this scene, they probably hadn’t planned the scenes where Rachel would have met Chandler in the past (who knows, maybe they hadn’t actually planned to go that far)

      @@victoiresouledelafont3428 but it can be taken as....she night have forgot about him....as .she was not in contact with anyone...for long....as in one episode they showed that .....what if they had been together .....there Chandler threw a ball at Rachel when she was sitting with her frnds...there also they could not recognise each other....

      The problem with that theory is that The One with The Flashback takes place mere weeks before this scene.
      So incorrect. Rachel was just in contact with all of them.

    This is another great show. Funny, after years of not seeing Monica, Rachel magically knows where to find Monica...in the coffee shop. She must have psychic abilities, like Phoebe supposedly had
