A short review of the very beginning of Friends. The first scene takes place in the cozy city cafe. Five friends are sitting on the couch, exchanging stories, joking around on the expanse of each other. One of them named Ross has just recently split up with his wife. It turns out that his ex-wife was a lesbian. Obviously, Ross is terribly disappointed. He asserts that he is a family type of guy and he wants to be married again. All of a sudden the entry door opens and a gorgeous young woman in wedding dress comes in. This lady is called Rachel, Monica's and Ross's former schoolmate. She has just run away from her husband-to-be and was looking for Monica, the only person she knows in the whole city. Rachel is introduced to everyone in the group. She reveals her heartbreaking story about the close escape from marriage with a dentist guy, Barry. She decides to turn how life upside-down, to make a fresh start. Up to that day, Rachel knew nothing about real grown-up life. All her expenses were paid first by her father and then by her future husband. From now on she opts to live on her own. Besides, she wants to stay with Monica. By the way, Monica is not eager to. As if anyone wants to know Monica's opinion.
