Sitcom “Friends”. First Year (1994). Episode Ten
I’ve been feeling a bit depressed lately, so we decided to rent something funny today, ended up taking a DVD with six episodes of “Friends” from their first year (1994). And the very first episode that we see had a weird reference to Minsk as a kind of place where American physicists are dying to get to. It’s hillarious:
[Max runs in, excited]
Max: Phoebe. Hi.
Phoebe : Oh, hi Max! Hey, do you know everybody?
Max: No. Have you seen David?
Phoebe : No, no, he hasn’t been around.
Max: Well, if you see him, tell him to pack his bags. We are going to Minsk.
Phoebe : Minsk?
Max: Minsk. It’s in Russia.
Phoebe : I know where Minsk is.*
Max: We got the grant. Three years, all expenses paid.
Phoebe : So when, when do you leave?
Max: January first…
[Scene 5: Max and David’s lab. They are working. Phoebe knocks on the door]
Phoebe : Hello?
David: Hey!
Phoebe : Hi.
David: Hi! [Kisses her] What-what’re you doing here?
Phoebe : Um, well, Max told me about Minsk, so [Puts on a fake cheery voice] congratulations! This is so exciting!
Max: It’d be even more exciting if we were going.
Phoebe : Oh, you’re not going? [Fake disappointed voice] Oh, why?
Max: Tell her, David. ‘I don’t wanna go to Minsk and work with Lifson and Yamaguchi and Flench, on nonononononono. I wanna stay here and make out with my girlfriend!!’ [Storms out]
David: Thank you, Max. Thank you.
Phoebe : So-so you’re really not going?
David: I don’t know. I don’t know what I’m gonna do. I just- you decide.
Phoebe : Oh don’t do that.
David: Please.
Phoebe : Oh no no.
David: No, but I’m asking-
Phoebe : Oh, but I can’t do that-
David: No, but I can’t-
Phoebe : It’s your thing, and-
David: -make the decision-
Phoebe : Okay, um, stay.
David: Stay.
Phoebe : Stay.
[He thinks for a moment and sweeps the stuff off the table]
Phoebe : Getting so good at that! [She hops on]
David: It was Max’s stuff. [They kiss]
[…David is feeding Phoebe popcorn. Max walks up]
Phoebe : Hi, Max!
Max: Yoko. [To David] I’ve decided to go to Minsk without you.
David: Wow.
Max: It won’t be the same- but it’ll still be Minsk. Happy New Year.[Walks off]
Phoebe : Are you alright?
David: Yeah, I’m fine, I’m fine.
[Phoebe leads David into a bedroom]
Phoebe : You’re going to Minsk.
David: No, I’m… not going to Minsk.
Phoebe : Oh, you are so going to Minsk. You belong in Minsk. You can’t stay here just ’cause of me.
David: Yes I can. Because if I go it means I have to break up with you, and I can’t break up with you.
Phoebe : Oh yes, yes, yes you can. Just say, um, ‘Phoebe, my work is my life and that’s what I have to do right now’. And I say ‘your work?! Your work?! How can you say that?!’. And then you say, um, ‘it’s tearing me apart, but I have no choice. Can’t you understand that?’. And I say [Hits him] ‘no! No! I can’t understand that!’.
David: Uh, ow.
Phoebe : Ooh, sorry. Um, and, and then you put your arms around me. And then you put your arms around me. [He does so] And, um, and then you tell me that you love me and you’ll never forget me.
David: I’ll never forget you.
Phoebe : And then you say that it’s almost midnight and you have to go because you don’t wanna start the new year with me if you can’t finish it. [They kiss] I’m gonna miss you. You scientist guy.
* - This is 1994, and probably the production took place in 1993, so it was only two-three years after Belarus gained independence. And the most funny thing is not their ignorance about Belarus, but the way they are excited about going to Minsk for three years. ;)

It was interesting, because the David-in-Minsk storyline popped up now and again throughout most of the series. I noticed the “Minsk is in Russia” thing as well, and I was going to post about it once for your benefit, but I never managed to do it. It a way, it’s very annoying to me, because if it is possible, it would be nice to get rid of the “ignorant American” label. However, it’s stuff like this that make it plain that the label isn’t exactly undeserved.

lol thats rather interesting. Im not that surprised that people believe Minsk resides in Russia… and in case of a show like Friends, they just read their lines and dont even know where it is :) Still, didnt even know about all this. One of my friends has a large collection of friends episodes. Am going to ask him for this specific one, thanks for sharing!
