Ella Risbridger

You know, I must consider that I am in a relationship with, I am marrying someone who made a movie with you when you were both what, like 21, 22?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Something about putting together like guest lists for a wedding.

Spoiler, I'm getting married.

I've not actually said that.

Oh, yeah.

Ella's engaged, by the way.

Yeah, that's a nice Christmas treat, people.

And it's like, oh, I'm pulling together all these people.

And it's like, oh, they're all re-emerging in the plot.

You know, not to keep quoting poetry, but there's a Roddy Lumsden line I have always liked, which is just people rise and fall in the plot.

And it makes me very happy to think about people who maybe I haven't seen lately who will come back and who will rise and fall.

And when it makes like the thing about tradition being something you do sometimes and not all the time, it's just one of those things where you can be like, ah, friends, the friends of friends, they'll come back.

they'll rise again Gunther will get another go Janice will be back again and you know there are friends who don't there are friends who don't come back in our viewing but who maybe come back later on in the friends lives you don't know we only get 10 years with these people and that's nothing in the grand scheme I know there's a point I was in the middle of making earlier and we got sidetracked which is about how Monica's first Thanksgiving you know she does her first Thanksgiving when she's so uptight then there's the cookies then there's the candy and then her last Thanksgiving she is so capable by then of making a perfect dinner and everything is so perfect and Chanda is helping and

And everything is so perfect.

And she didn't want to do it.

But she can, by this point, she's 10 years into hosting Thanksgiving.

She can make a Thanksgiving dinner in her sleep, basically.

And Phoebe and Rachel go off to the baby show so that Emma can win a prize.

And Joey and Ross are at the ice hockey.
