Well, you know what?

How many women have hit on Chandler?

Not that many.

Ross is always punching above his weight, but Chandler, I don't think he's getting hit on that much.

And so for Chandler to get hit on by Selma Blair and to be like, I love and respect my wife, that's a real sacrifice.

Much more than it would be for Ross, who is always getting hit on by women out of his league.

So one thing that... So I'm actually amazed that nobody has talked that much about Chandler.

I'm thrilled because I love to talk about Chandler.

He's such a complex and rich scene for me.

Because you must admit that although it's obviously Rachel's show, Chandler is the other person who has a complete up.

Chandler goes from being the boy who hates Thanksgiving because he has no family...

to the man with his children and his wife and his friends moving out to live a life of like domestic bliss and he's not gonna have an affair with the pool boy he's not gonna repeat the patterns of his parents it's about learning to be your own man oh my god of course because the whole thing with Chandler's whole story is he hates Thanksgiving the Gellers hate him because he hates Thanksgiving and because he got Ross high and the boy who hates Thanksgiving

And crucially, who is around me.

You know, there's obviously a lot of chat about friends as found family.

But I think that Monica and Ross don't really need found family anymore.

Phoebe does but she kind of finds it in Mike she's always a little bit separate from the group you know she's always trying to prize Joey away to be just two of them yeah but also she finds it she finds it in Frank as well and she gives it to Frank with the babies you know yeah and the person who needs that to belong to that family like Chandler gloms on to Ross and he never lets go

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

He's his college roommate.

And then he's like, and I will marry your sister and I will be at every Christmas and every Thanksgiving for the rest of your life, Roskella.
