"Just because he buys you dinner does not mean you owe him anything."

"I know."

"What's so funny?" Monica asked Joey, who started to laugh.

"Oh, nothing." He shook his head. "It's an acting exercise. I'm practicing my fake laugh." He informed us.

"Ah." Monica started to laugh for no reason.

"What? What's so funny? "Joey smiled at her.

"You're so cute." I reached over and pat his knee.

"No, no. No, no, no, no. There's none of that in here." Gunther shook his head profusely as soon as my brother walked in with a cigarette between his lips.

"Come on, man. At least let me finish this last one." Chandler begged him.

"Okay. But only if you give me a drag." Gunther lowered his voice. I got bored, so I just tuned them out. Then, Chandler came over and joined us. He stuck another cigarette into his mouth, which Rachel took away and put it on the coffee table. This went on for a couple of times.

"That's like the least fun game ever." Chandler made a face.

"Well, we're all really sick of your smoking, so I brought something that is going to help you quit." Rachel pulled out a pack out of her purse and handed it to him. He slammed it onto his upper arm, but it fell.

"Nope. That patch is no good." He shook his head. Joey did his fake laugh.

"Come on, it's a hypnosis tape. This woman at work used it for two weeks straight, and she hasn't smoked since." She picked it up and gave it to him again.

"Huh." Ross scoffed.

"What's your problem?" Rachel glanced back at him.

"It's just that hypnosis is beyond crap." Ross opinionated.

"Ross, I watched you get hypnotized in Atlantic City." Rachel crossed her arms over her chest.

"Hey, that guy did not hypnotize me, okay?" Ross pointed a finger at her.

"Right because you always pull your pants down on the count of three and play 'Wipe Out' on your butt cheeks." She smiled at him sarcastically.

"Forget hypnosis, alright? The way to quit smoking is you have to dance naked in a field of heather and then bathe in the sweat of six healthy young men." Phoebe advised him.

"Or what our father calls Thursday night." Chandler stuck another cigarette into his mouth before lighting. Ross grabbed us our drinks.

"Thank you." I took my chai latte gratefully.
