The One With the Butt

Thursday, 27 October 1994

Chandler starts sleeping with Aurora, who already has a husband and two boyfriends, Joey is cast and then fired as Al Pacino's butt double, and Monica admits she is compulsively tidy.

What happens

• Chandler spots Aurora at the theatre, the others talk him into approaching her, and she agrees to a date.
• An usher passes Joey a talent agency's card, and Joey hopes the agency wants to sign him.
• Chandler recounts the date, during which Aurora mentions a husband named Rick and then a boyfriend named Ethan.
• Chandler tells the others he is seeing Aurora again because he gets the pleasure without any obligation.
• Rachel moves the green ottoman while cleaning, and Monica quietly puts it back where it was.
• The others list Monica's tidiness rituals until she accepts that she has turned into her mother.
• Joey's new agent gets him a role in an Al Pacino film, and Joey admits the part is Pacino's butt double.
• Aurora reveals a fourth man named Andrew, Chandler asks her to drop the others, and Aurora leaves rather than agree.
• Joey reports that he was fired for overacting, and Phoebe convinces him that his chance is still ahead of him.
• Monica deliberately leaves her shoes out overnight, then lies awake plotting to retrieve them before anyone notices.
