Friends: Phoebe Sings About Her Dead Mom (Season 1 Clip) | TBS

  • 0:05 - 0:07
    Hey, guys, I'm doing
    all new material tonight.
  • 0:07 - 0:09
    I have 12 new songs
    about my mother's suicide,
  • 0:09 - 0:11
    and one about
    a snowman.
  • 0:14 - 0:16
    Might wanna open
    with the snowman.
  • 0:17 - 0:19
    - Hey, Joey.
    - Hey, Joey.
  • 0:19 - 0:20
    - Hey, buddy.
    - Hey, Jo.
  • 0:20 - 0:22
    So how'd it go?
  • 0:22 - 0:24
    Uh, I didn't get the job.
  • 0:24 - 0:25
    (together)
    Oh.
  • 0:25 - 0:27
    How could you not get it?
  • 0:27 - 0:29
    You were Santa last year.
  • 0:30 - 0:31
    I don't know,
    some fat guy's
  • 0:31 - 0:34
    sleeping with
    the store manager.
  • 0:34 - 0:37
    He's not even jolly.
    It's all political.
  • 0:37 - 0:39
    So what are you gonna be?
  • 0:39 - 0:41
    Uh, I'm gonna be
    one of his helpers.
  • 0:41 - 0:44
    It's just such a slap
    in the face, you know?
  • 0:44 - 0:47
    Hey, do you guys know what
    you're doing for New Years?
  • 0:47 - 0:49
    [indistinct chatter]
  • 0:49 - 0:52
    Gee! what?
    What is wrong with New Years?
  • 0:52 - 0:53
    Well, nothing for you.
    You have Paolo.
  • 0:53 - 0:55
    You don't have to face
    the horrible pressures
  • 0:55 - 0:56
    of this holiday.
  • 0:56 - 0:58
    Desperate scramble
    to find anything with lips
  • 0:58 - 1:01
    just so you can have somebody
    to kiss when the ball drops -
  • 1:01 - 1:03
    Man, I'm talking loud!
  • 1:04 - 1:06
    Well, for your information
  • 1:06 - 1:08
    Paolo's gonna be in Rome
    this New Year's.
  • 1:08 - 1:10
    So I'll be just as pathetic
    as the rest of you.
  • 1:10 - 1:12
    Yeah, you wish.
  • 1:14 - 1:17
    Just that I'm sick of being
    a victim this Dick Clark Holiday.
  • 1:17 - 1:20
    I say this year,
    no dates, we make a pact.
  • 1:20 - 1:22
    Just the six of us. Dinner.
  • 1:22 - 1:24
    - Sure.
    - Okay. We'll do that.
  • 1:24 - 1:26
    You know, I was hoping for
    a little more enthusiasm.
  • 1:26 - 1:28
    [cheering]
  • 1:29 - 1:30
    Okay, Phoebe, you're on.
  • 1:30 - 1:32
    Oh, oh, good.
  • 1:32 - 1:36
    Okay, hi. Ladies and gentlemen
    back by popular demand.

  • 1:42 - 1:44
    Hi. Thanks. Hi.
  • 1:44 - 1:46
    Uh, ahem, I wanna
    start with a song
  • 1:46 - 1:49

    [indistinct chatter]
  • 2:36 - 2:38
    Excuse me? Excuse me?
  • 2:38 - 2:40
    Yeah, noisy boys.
  • 2:41 - 2:45
    Is it something that you would
    to share with the entire group?
  • 2:46 - 2:49
    No, no, that's - that's ok.
  • 2:49 - 2:50
    Well, come on,
    if it's important enough
  • 2:50 - 2:52
    to discuss
    while I'm playing,
  • 2:52 - 2:54
    then, I assume
    it's important enough
  • 2:54 - 2:55
    for everyone
    else to hear.
  • 2:55 - 2:58
    That guy's going
    home with a note.
  • 3:01 - 3:04
    [clears throat]
    Nothin', I was,
    I was just saying -
  • 3:04 - 3:06
    - Could you speak up, please?
    - Sorry.
  • 3:06 - 3:08
    I was...
  • 3:08 - 3:09
    I was just saying
    to my friend that I thought
  • 3:09 - 3:10
    you were the most
    beautiful woman
  • 3:10 - 3:13
    that I'd ever seen
    in - in my life.
  • 3:13 - 3:14
    And then, he said that,
    you - you said you thought
  • 3:14 - 3:17
    - Daryl Hannah
    - Daryl Hannah was the most, uh,
    beautiful woman
  • 3:17 - 3:18
    that he'd ever seen
    in his life.
  • 3:18 - 3:20
    And I said,
    Yeah, I liked her in Splash a lot
  • 3:20 - 3:22
    but not so much
    in - in Wall Street.
  • 3:22 - 3:23
    I thought she had a...
  • 3:23 - 3:25
    (together)
    ...hard quality.
  • 3:25 - 3:28
    And, uh, and, uh, well,
    Daryl Hannah
  • 3:28 - 3:30
    is beautiful
    in a conventional way
  • 3:30 - 3:34
    you are, uh, luminous
    with a kind of a delicate grace.
  • 3:36 - 3:39
    Then, uh, that - that - that's
    when you started yelling.
  • 3:47 - 3:49
    Okay, we're gonna
    take a short break.
  • 3:53 - 3:56
    I think that guy's going
    home with more than a note.
