Did you know ?!
• First instance of Ross saying the classic phrase, “We were on a break.”
• The dressing gown that Carol is wearing at the end of the episode is the same one that Monica wore in “The One With The Prom Video” (S2E14). Rachel also wore it in “The Pilot” (S1E1).
• Chandler commented about having the “Crying Indian” coming to save them if he litters. That is a tip-of-the-hat to the “Keep America Beautiful” commercial that was marketed to reduce littering.
• In The One with the Thumb (1994), Phoebe offers Chandler $7,000 if he never smokes again. Since Chandler openly smokes in this episode, he should have to give her the money back.
• The only time Monica is seen in Phoebe’s Grandmother’s cab.
• Phoebe drives a 1977 Checker Cab model A11.
• The “Crying Indian” Chandler mentions when he litters at the rest-stop was actually Italian — he changed his name when he moved to Hollywood & called himself “Iron Eyes Cody”. The first “Wannabe”.
