Dr. Dolly Alderton

Yeah.

And that man is the cruelest man who never lived, you know?

They thought she was barren.

He's the miracle baby.

He's the boy.

Mm-hmm.

It is maddening.

You feel for her so much.

And as I've said in this podcast before, Monica is my least favourite friend.

I find her the hardest to watch.

I think the shrillness and the mania for me is just, it's not fun for me to watch.

no yeah exactly there's kind of very little of me in her and like I can kind of relate to almost every other friend apart from her yeah um I know many others do but that's just where I come down but in terms of like the small victories that Monica has over her mum it's like she loses the fingernail in the quiches and there's this mental scene where she's it's like when her and Phoebe are catering together and um

she's catering a party at Judy's house or whatever for her bridge ladies or whatever.

And Judy comes in and Monica says, Mom, why did you hire me?

And Judy says,

Well, I heard the dinner at Richard's thing was lovely, but you were sleeping with him.

And then I heard that lesbian wedding was fabulous and you couldn't have been sleeping with them.

So I heard you were quite good.

And then she left.

And then Phoebe turns to Monica and says, did you hear that?
