Trivia:

When Phoebe, Monica and Rachel were out on the balcony, Rachel knocks her pillow over the edge. That wasn't really supposed to happen, but they left it in anyway.

Goofs:

Factual errors: Ross, Chandler and Joey purport to attend a New York Rangers-Pittsburgh Penguins NHL hockey game in October of 1994. In reality, a labor dispute canceled the first half of the 1994-95 NHL season, and no NHL hockey was played until January 1995.

Quotes:

Phoebe: [to Monica, mocking Rachel's friends] Look, look... I have elbows!
[they both scream and wave their hands]

The One with the hot politician

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

In the fourth episode, We discover that Ross lost his virginity with Carol. He stays the entire episode remembering their anniversary of losing his virginity, so Chandler and Joey decide to take him to a hockey game to cheer him up. ( He gets hurt in this episode because of a hockey disc, so we see funny moments in the hospital with our three main guys!)

Monica, Phoebe and Rachel get George Stephanopoulos' pizza by mistake, and they stay spying the hot politician while talking about their personal opinions about Chandler, Ross and Joey.

In this episode, Rachel receives her first salary, and for her disappointment, it is not exactly what she imagined to be. ( All FICA's fault..LoL) She feels even more frustrated after seeing her rich friends, since each one of the girls has interesting news about their lives.
