Jennifer: Oh God! Schwimmer!
Oprah: Who would win first prize at a karaoke contest? Jennifer and Lisa: Courteney! Matthew: Definitely Courteney!
Courteney: Not because I'm good... Because I like it so much. Matthew probably win for singing.
Oprah: Okay. Who's changed the most in the past ten years? Who's changed the most that you all have noticed?
Matthew: Uhm... The camera just went to me. (they all laugh) I certainly, I suppose have had uhm... you know... well documented ups and downs in the last ten years.
Oprah: Alright David, do me a favour and describe each cast member in ways that we wouldn't know.
David: Le Blanc, I've always thought of as like blue collar, like show up every time, every day on time. He's a hundred percent. Always got your bet. He's the guy you want, like, if you get in a fight in a bar, he's the guy you want... And just in terms of... Matt: I can kick some ass, Oprah, let me tell you. Oprah: The bottom line, yeah.
Matt: Well, its kind of strange you know. We have these really rich, full characters to hide behind. To sit here as ourselves is really kind of nerve wrecking.
Oprah: Is it? Would Joey be having a better time? Matt: Oh, he'd probably hit on you. (they laugh) Oprah: Okay, continue...
David: Well, uhm... Lisa's got the most unpredictable comic timing and instincts that, I feel, constantly surprise you... and probably herself which is a real gift.
Oprah: Is that true, do you really surprise yourself sometimes?
Lisa: Uhuh, yeah.
David: She's also, well, you know, she's a knock-out. I love her hair right now. (Lisa has short hair now, which just reaches to her shoulders.)
Lisa: Thank you! (there's cheering)
David: Uhm, well Court has... most people may not know this, but she just has the most generous heart of anyone you will ever know. (to Courteney) Seriously, you are... Uhm, Matthew... hysterical... uhm, some of the best lines are off-camera, when it's... you know... there's no camera rolling. Uh, uhm, Jen... She's just... she amazes me. Also a very generous, warm, warm person. Uhm, just always puts the other person first, and I think it's a gift. Oprah: I feel the love here. I feel the love. I do, I really do. Amongst all of you. Okay, that's fantastic.
[We see wedding photos of Lisa, Courteney and Jennifer and clips of what's to come and hear Oprah tell us:
Oprah: Later, marriage and babies. The Friends' lives off TV and coming up...
Jennifer: Oh God, get somebody else... Oprah: It is an emotional day...
Jennifer: Oh, no I don't know if I can do it yet. Oprah: Stay tuned.]
COMMERCIAL BREAK
[Part 2 opens with the clip of Rachel and Joey kissing in Barbados] Oprah: We're in Hollywood on the actual set of the hit show Friends. And it's the final season and all of the stars we have come to learn and love are giving their first farewell interview. I wanna ask, who do you, Jennifer, who do you most want Rachel to end up with?
Jennifer: Ah... I'll start crying... Oprah: Come on...
Jennifer: Well, I mean God... That's a tough... Well, I think if you go back to the beginning, you know, I think everybody's had a special place for Ross and Rachel... (there's cheering) Oprah: Hm-mmm, hm-mmm... Everybody... (to David) Are you getting a little misty over this?
David: Just when we think about the episode where they first kiss, and all the... there's so much history between... between the two...
Jennifer: So much history...
[We see a clip from 207, The One Where Ross Finds Out, where they kiss in Central Perk.]
Oprah: Do you have your favourite Friends moment?
David: I'm sure we all have moments that we love. But in the gag reel there was one thing where Le Blanc kept running in and tripping and we had to do take after take after take and we finally got it right and Matt Perry came in and tripped.
[We see that scene which was in the special with Conan O'Brien. (The One With The Stuff You've Never Seen)]
David: I mean, those are moments that not necessarily the... make it to the show...
Matt: So your favourite moment is when I fall down?
Oprah: Okay, let's go to your favourite Friends moments. We all have ours. I think the birth of Emma. (to Jennifer) How was that for you?
Jennifer: Oh, I loved that moment. That whole season, I think I loved. Uhm, as the first kiss with Ross and Rachel I loved. Oprah: First kiss with Ross and Rachel? (David nods also) I like the way you refer to them as \Jennifer: Yeah, they're other people.
Oprah: Okay Courteney, favourite moment. Favourite Friends moment.
Courteney: Uhm, well I mean, the favourite one for me to play or be a part of was when I asked Chandler (pointing to Matt) to marry me.
[We see the clip from 624, The One With The Proposal, where Monica proposes to Chandler in a candlelit room:
Monica: Chandler... In all my life?I never thought I would be so lucky. (Starting to cry.) As to... fall in love with my best... my best... There's a reason why girls don't do this!] Oprah: Matthew?
Matthew: I agree with Courteney. That scene where we decided to get married is... up there for me. Oprah: Up there for you? Matthew: Yeah. Oprah: Lisa?
Lisa: For me personally my favourite was uhm, the scene with Crissie Hynde. I lo-oved that scene. That was fun.
[We see a clip from 206, The One With The Baby On The Bus, where Phoebe teaches Stephanie how to play \Matt: Me next? Oprah: Yes.
Matt: I don't know if my favourite Friends moment is on camera. I would have to say maybe the huddle backstage. I think its, you know what I mean, it's stuff between the scenes for me that's really, really great. You know, these are five awesome people. Oprah: And what do you think you're gonna miss, 'cause you're gonna go on. Joey's gonna go on. Joey's gonna have his own series, right? Matt: Hopefully yeah.
Oprah: So, will you think... will it be as bittersweet for you, or will you already thinking about moving on, and how to create the next thing?
Matt: It feels very strange to really think about that in a, kind of a gung-ho way without closure here, you know. So I really want to enjoy the closing of this, before I really go on. Without having closure here, it doesn't feel right. It would feel like kind of betraying... It's like I feel afraid, you know, it's like... you guys are coming right? I had a funny pitch for the title, I wanted to call it \Oprah: I like that title. Matt: It didn't fly...
Matthew: They didn't go for that one, did they?
Oprah: So, none of the characters that we've come to know through Friends are gonna like even pass through Joey or know Joey? Matt: I would love it, yeah sure. Maybe you can help me talk them into it.
Oprah: Come by every now and then...? Okay Jen, can you tell us about each of your cast mates? Jennifer: Oh... Hi Matty... Matthew: Hi honey.
Jennifer: Well, what people may not know about Matthew Perry, is that he's probably one of the most sensitive people. You know, as long as well as being funny... and ingenious, he's also uhm... Oprah: He's ingenious too?
Jennifer: And ingenious, yeah. He's very smart. He played tennis. I think you speak French.
Matthew: Un peu. (translated: a bit)
Jennifer: Oh, un peu. Uhm, and he's a... he's a really strong... you know... supportive dear friend. And uhm, Courteney, I just love you so much you just been there for me in a lot of ways, and she really is the most dependable and loyal and funny as all get out, I mean, she just cracks me up, constantly. Schimmy Schwimster is uhm... We have a lot of history. Uhm, he's uhm... he's alright. No again, really smart and helps me figure out things that I don't understand. But he's really... I can be really honest with David
