His Hotel. What a line! Did he ever actually succeed with it? Of course he did. …… (Sheila)

Monica:Why?! Why? Why, why would anybody do something like that?
Ross:I assume we"re looking for an answer more sophisticated than "to get you into bed".
sophisticated：在中文里面是世故的意思，其实在英文里面，这个单词是褒义词，说明人非常成熟有魅力。
Monica:Is it me? Is it like I have some sort of beacon that only dogs and men with severe emotional problems can hear?
beacon n.灯塔，烟火to 气味
