”happen for", I think it is a wrong expression. Shouldn't it be like" happen to" Joey: You know, I've done nothing but crappy plays for six years. And I finally get my shot , and I blow it ! Monica: Wait a minute, maybe this wasn't your shot. Ross: Yeah, I-I think when it's your shot, you know, you-you know it's your shot. Did... Did it... feel like your shot? Joey: Hard to tell, I was naked. Phoebe: No, I don't think this was your shot. I don't even think you just get one shot. I really believe big things are gonna HAPPEN FOR you, I do!And, you've gotta just keep thinking about the dayTHATsome kid is gonna run up to his friends and go 'I got the part! I got the part! I'm gonna be Joey: Tribbiani's ass!' (Shouldn't " that " above be " when"?)

It isn't wrong. If things 'happen for' someone it indicates success - it means that they'll go well, and that the desired result will be achieved.
