What's the point of switching Monica's and Rachel's rooms?

What's the point of switching Monica's and Rachel's rooms? - Aerial Photography of Body of Water

In Friends Season 3 Episode 22 there's the following scene:

[Scene: Monica and Rachel's, Monica and Rachel are returning. Phoebe is still on hold.]

Monica: Hey!
Rachel: Hey!
Phoebe: Oh, is the play over?
Monica: Yeah. Where were you?
Hold Voice: Thank you for your patience, you’re the next caller.
Monica: You were the next caller five hours ago. You must be going crazy.
Phoebe: Nah. I kept myself busy.

(Both Rachel and Monica walk into their bedrooms, stop, and come back into the living room with confused looks on their faces.)

Phoebe: Oh, okay, yeah. (to Monica) I put your stuff in her room, and her stuff in your room.

(They both look at each other, nod their heads ‘All right’ and follow their stuff into their new rooms.)

Phoebe was near the phone on hold near to the phone all the time, how? And what is the point of doing something so bizarre like changing the stuff of people into other rooms?



Best Answer

  1. She had them on speakerphone (this is shown during the episode). So she would have heard it from the other room if they finally answered. I do that all the time with those customer services. :)

  2. She was bored. So she did something as futile as switching the girls' bedrooms (BTW, this is also a common prank). She was also making string figures at some point, because she was literally trapped in that house and going insane. (And lastly, remember that Phoebe is eccentric.)

Why did Rachel and Monica switch apartments?

The staff found it difficult coming up with different points of view for each character as all wanted to win the game. The writers decided to go through with the apartment switch to avoid creating fake stakes, which they called "schmuck bait".

Why did the Friends switch apartments?

During a seemingly harmless contest between Monica and Rachel and Joey and Chandler, Monica raised their apartment as one of the stakes. Chandler and Joey ultimately won the contest, forcing Rachel and Monica to move into their apartment.

Why are the apartments in Friends so different?

The apartment numbers change throughout the first series But as the first season went on, it dawned on show producers that the flat numbers would surely be higher than that given how high up the building the apartment was supposed to be. So Monica's flat changed to number 20, and Chandler's to number 19.
