    Monica buys some new boots that are alot of money. Chandler isnt happy but lets her keep them. They start to hurt her alot but does not dare tell chandler meanwhile pheobe wants tickets to stings concert and comes up with a good plan. hide show

    This episode is defenitly one of my favourites. i think the best bit in the episode is pheobe wanting the tickets to stings concert and then her finding out Ben goes to the same school as him. I find it so funny when she is singing Ross Can! This is my favourite quotation in the episode:
    Ross: Im sorry Pheobe i just cant do it!
    Pheobe: Yes u can Sting sed so himself!
    Ross: Wat?
    Pheobe: Ross Can!
    Ross: I just cant do it...
    Pheobe: Rosssss caaaannn!
    Ross: Pheobe...
    Pheobe: Roossss Caannn Get me the tickets, Rosss cannn get me the tickets.
    I didnt get why she did this until someone explained the sting song to me!
    I love this classic episode.
    This is excatly why i watch friends to make me laugh!

    a good episode hide show

    I thought this episode was good but not just that great though. I mean, I get bored of seeing Monica sometimes and this episode had loads and loads of Monica in it. although I have admitedly done the same thing as Monica and brought clothes in the wrong size before, just cause there so nice, I've never been so bad as to get my feet all bloody and gross so that was a bit stupid cause if she loved the shoes that much she could have just ordered them into the store!!! I'm sure the shop would have done that so they could get money.

    Monica tries to convince her that the 'boots' are worthwhile. hide show

    Monica spends a ridiculous amount of money on a pair of top fashion boots, affecting their rent and everything. She promises Chandler that she will wear the boots - She says that they go with everything.

    But the boots soon show no mercy as her feet begin to swell through the unconfortableness - she begins to loose track of suitable ways of convincing Chandler the boots were worthwhile.

    When Chandler invites Monica to a work party, it's all hell breaks loose for Monica's feet as she struggles to keep the agony from her feet a secret.

  • Monica: Okay you were right! All right, I never should have bought them! They're killing me! One toe at a time!

  • Ross: Well it turns out that Ben and Sting’s son do not get along.
    Phoebe: How come?!
    Ross: Apparently, Sting’s son made fun of the fact that Ben’s moms are "lesbinims." []
