TRIVIA (19)
ADD TRIVIA-
Trivia: It is revealed that at one time or another all of the friends have lived in Monica's Grandmother's apartment. The same is also true of Joey's apartment.
-
Trivia: All of the children born on this show (excluding the triplets) are related. Jack and Erika (Chandler and Monica's children) are brother and sister, as are their cousins Ben and Emma (Rachel and Ross's children). Possibly due to the fact that Ben and Emma have a different mother, they are never seen together at any time throughout the series.
-
Continuity: In this episode, Joey and Chandler are unable to get Chick Jr. and Duck Jr. out of the foosball table because it is all glued together. However, in "The One With The Embryos," when they are moving their stuff into Monica and Rachel's apartment, Chandler moves the top part of the Foosball table separately.
-
Goof: When the doctor offers Monica and Chandler the chance to cut their first child's umbilical cord, the navel of the baby can be seen briefly on screen, revealing that the cord had already been removed.
-
Goof: When Rachel attempts to board the plane the first time, the man at the desk looks at her passport upside down.
-
Goof: When Rachel hands over her passport before she gets on the plane to Paris, the picture is clearly of a woman with very dark hair. Since Rachel has never had hair that dark throughout the series and you must renew your passport every 10 years in the United States, this clearly isn't a picture of her.
-
Trivia: The color of the keys laid down at the end of the episode by each friend corresponds to the colored dots between the letters in the Friends title (red, yellow, and blue).
-
Trivia: In this episode Phoebe asked Ross if he had ever chased someone to the airport. Actually, in "The One with the Free Porn" Ross chased Emily to the airport.
-
Continuity: Every time there has been a birth among the friends the entire group was at the hospital waiting. This is seen in "The One with the Birth" with Carol giving birth to Ross's son Ben; Also, in "The One Hundredth" with Phoebe giving birth to her brother's triplets; And in "The One Where Rachel Has a Baby" with Rachel giving birth to Ross's daughter Emma. Now when Monica and Chandler, two of the Friends, are finally having the babies they have been waiting for, not one of their friends even visit.
-
Continuity: In this episode Joey didn't know that when Chandler took Duck and Chick to a farm, it meant they died. But in "The One with the Thumb" he knows that when you take a pet to farm, it means they are dead.
-
Continuity: In "The One Where Rachel Has a Baby (2)" Monica said she wanted to name her first son Daniel. Also, in "The One with the Blind Dates" Monica and Chandler promise to name their first born son Joey. Instead they name him Jack, after Monica's father.
-
Magna Doodle: A drawing of mountain climbers
-
Goof: At the end of the episode, the friends all lay their apartment keys on the counter. When the camera angle changes, the position of the keys on the kitchen counter changes, although no one moved them.
-
Trivia: Chandler says the final phrase of the show. When the friends decide to get coffee, he ironically says "Where?"
-
Factual Error: The jet bridge on Rachel's plane is on the right side. However, jet bridges attach to the left side of the plane, since the forward galley would be on the right side, and passengers would not be boarded through the galley.
-
Continuity: In "The One with Rachel's Going Away Party" Phoebe said that in six months, the statute of limitations would run out and she would be allowed to fly internationally again. If this is true, how would Phoebe have been able to purchase a ticket? Her name would have popped up on a "No Flying" list. (However, it is not revealed to what destination Ross buys tickets for him and Phoebe, so it's possible it was within U.S. borders. In fact it was more than likely since Ross asked for the cheapest tickets available.)
-
Goof: After Rachel gets on the plane, when Ross and Phoebe are hugging, the camera zooms out and the end of the set on the floor is visible.
-
Goof: If Rachel was all packed up, then why is Emma's "E" still hanging on the wall in Rachel's room?
-
Trivia: By the end of the show, all six of the friends have been married at one time or another except for Joey.

What about that summer during college that you lived with grandma, and you tried to make it as a dancer? Ross: Do you realise we almost made it ten years without that coming up?
-
Joey: I'm gonna miss these little guys. It was nice having birds around again. Chandler: Hey, you know what? Maybe we should keep them here with you. Joey: What? Chandler: Yeah, I mean we've got a lot going on right now. And, plus, here they'd have their own room. Joey: I could get a goose! Chandler: You know, I think you're set with the poultry. Joey: Thanks man. Did you hear that, you guys? You're gonna get to stay here! (Looking back to Chandler) And, and it's good, you know, 'cause now you have a reason to come visit. Chandler: I think there may be another reason.

-
Monica Wait, did you know it was twins? Doctor: Yeah, it's here in the paperwork we got from the clinic in Ohio. Monica: (To Erica) Did anybody tell you? Erica: I don't think so.

They kept saying both heartbeats are really strong, and I thought "Well, that's good 'cause I'm having a baby."
-
Chandler: So do you have any plans for the summer? Erica: I don't know, maybe Church Camp. Chandler: Hah. May not wanna mention this. So, you ever wonder which is worse, you know, going through labor or getting kicked in the nuts?
-
Erica: (To Chandler, about labor) I think it's time to kick you in the nuts and see which is worse!
-
Rachel: (Crying) Do you guys have to go to the new house right away, or do you have some time? Monica: We got some time. Rachel: Okay, should we get some coffee? Chandler: Sure. Where?
-
Rachel: I do love you. Ross: I love you too, and I'm never letting you go again. Rachel: Okay. 'Cause this is where I wanna be, okay? No more messing around. I don't wanna mess this up again. Ross: Me neither, okay? We are, we're done being stupid. Rachel: Okay. You and me, all right? This is it. Ross: This is it. Unless we're on a break. (Rachel gives him a look) Don't make jokes now.
-
Monica: ...And that's a girl. Chandler: Her name is Erica. Joey: Hey that pregnant girl's name was Erica. Chandler: It's a shame you two didn't get to spend more time together.
-

Phoebe: You should have thought of that before you got in!
-

-

Marta Kauffman and David Crane noted that one of the hardest parts of the episode was destroying the foosball table.

ALLUSIONS (1)
ADD ALLUSIONS-
Mike: (About babies) I want one Phoebe: Oh yeah? Tell me which one. I'll try slip it in my coat. Mike: Seriously, I mean, wanna make one of those? Phoebe: One? How about a whole bunch! Mike: Really? Phoebe: Yeah, we can teach them to sing and we could be like the von Trapp family! Only without the Nazis. Although that sounds kind of dull. Phoebe is referring to the Academy-Award winning musical The Sound of Music. In the musical, the von Trapp family, led by their governess, learn to make beautiful music together during the Nazi reign of World War II. The movie stars Julie Andrews with music by Rodgers & Hammerstein.
