Q1, I feel is missing a bit of context. From the script segment you've provided, I'm not sure where the joke is, either. I'm not familiar with Friends, so perhaps it makes sense to a fan? Anyway, the "hang 10 sign" is when you extend your thumb and pinky on one hand and then shake it back and forth. It's a common hand sign at concerts from people who are passionate about the music being played. Q2, if you "get something," it means you understand it. To "get someone" means that you can empathize with another person extraordinarily well. It generally means that the person has gone through a similar situation as you. Q3, the word "figures" is referring to the models of homo sapiens. The kids who messed with the display changed "homo sapiens" to "homo" and presumably positioned the male models into sexual positions.

Q1: When chandler says rock on, Chloe looks at him like he’s crazy and walks away,and chandler also feels shamed and lowers his head, but why? What’s wrong with rock on? The script says he does the “ 'Hang 10' sign”, what is it? Q2: What does get me mean here?Is it the same as I don’t get her(=i don’t understand her)? Q3: I understand that homo sapiens are actually people, and kids covered the word sapien so it would look like homo, which could be confused with homosexual. What i don’t understand is why they rearranged the figures? Figures meaning....? thanks again for your kind help
