Lisa: Oh, good.
Oprah: I read that, I've heard that... Lisa: Oh good.
Oprah: What makes you so amazing?
Lisa: Well I guess... I mean... (she laughs)
Oprah: Go ahead, don't be modest about it, go ahead.
Lisa: Uhm, well, for better or worse. I don't know. I know I'm obsessed with my child, and is he happy and am I doing okay? Oprah: Well, that would make you having the intention to be a great mother all the time. So Matthew and David. What's it like to being the only single guys, really?
Matthew: Uh... Well, I'm not single. I have a beautiful girlfriend who's (looking at the audience) out there, somewhere. (he can't find her) But she's very camera shy, so she's probably hiding. Oprah: (to David) I was so happy to see on the show that you had a black girlfriend. That was very nice. (we see a clip of Ross and Charlie kissing in Barbados) On the show... Yeah... That was good. That worked for me. That worked for me. Yeah... David: We'll uh... Yeah, we'll talk. [Coming up clip:
Oprah's voice: Still ahead...
Oprah: Is there anybody here who's just a little scared? Oprah's voice: Stay tuned.]
COMMERCIAL BREAK
Oprah: We're back with the cast of Friends. What is it that you really wish for each other when this is done? When this is all said and done? Court?
Courteney: I wish that the Joey Show's a huge hit... for Matt. And I wish for Lisa, she's got a lot going on right now, she's
producing now and I think she's just gonna be amazing at it. So I hope that goes great. And her son Julian, I hope that just... She's just the greatest mom and I just hope that she enjoys every day as much as she's been enjoying the last five years of his life. Lisa: Thanks!
Courteney: And Schwimmer, he's an amazing director. So I don't know if your aspirations are to continue direct, but I want you to. So I hope you get married one day, because you're gonna make a great husband. And Matthew, I hope that uhm... You've just grown so much and I'm so proud of him. He's so strong, and uhm, I just love him.
Matthew: Thanks Court.
Courteney: And Jennifer, I hope that she just is the happiest person in the world, because she deserves to be. And, so I just want her to be the most happy and have all of her personal dreams fulfilled.
Oprah: Can I ask you guys, is it... Is any part of this scary, because when something works so well for so long, and you've been so good at it, I mean, it's... for a lot of people difficult to stop doing something that really works well and that you've been so successful at... And it will be scary. Is there anybody here who's just a little scared? Lisa: I was terrified.
Oprah: About the idea of it ending?
Lisa: Yes. But then I, you know, luckily embrace of what's going to happen and yeah... Oprah: Of course you where.
Courteney: I've been scared over stupid things like, I mean, there were some great perks, GREAT perks, okay? Oprah: Like?
Courteney: I mean, they're stupid, but I like being able to get into a restaurant. I don't know when that is going to end.
Matthew: You're still gonna be able to get into a restaurant. We've actually had this discussion...
Courteney: Yeah, but I don't believe you...
Oprah: You don't bel... You think like, the show's gonna be over and that people are gonna say: You can't come in here. Courteney: Not, not quite that bad, but you know, I don't know, stupid stuff, like... Matt: I get you...
Courteney: You do? (they laugh)
Oprah: Matt, it's your turn to talk about your cast mates. Matt: Okay, uhm... Lisa is uhm... big old smartypants. And her laugh is incredibly infectious, and if she goes, everyone's gone. Courteney: She's the best.
Matt: And she is a great mom, and her son Julian is a little angel. I love him. He's great. He's a cutie pie. And David is the consummate professional. He really is. And has the ability to really pull at your heartstrings while making you laugh your ass off. So he's really great. And Courteney, I just love. Uhm, she's so sweet, and so smart and generous and I think is... really found a funny voice for her character, you know. Courteney: Thanks.
Matt: And Matthew Perry, is so razor sharp and smart and inventive and know right where the funny is. It's really great working with you. I've learned a lot.
Oprah: I love that. Knows right where the funny is... Matt: He really does. I mean, like his character on TV, well, kind of when there is a sensitive moment, he'll make a joke, but really he's a all softy. He's a good guy. And Jen, There's one big giant heart. It's uhm, over the last couple of seasons, I've had the pleasure of really working close with Jen. You're so alive on stage and you really work from the heart, and are really sensitive and really ground the material and really have a great work ethic and really, just... dynamite. As a whole, I think from these five
people here, I've really learned a lot about what I do for a living from them. It's really been an education, and uhm, thanks you guys! [Coming up clip, we see clips from all seasons flip by: Oprah's voice: For years, millions have copied their trendy style. Next, Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox take us on a rare backstage tour, to the wardrobe department. We're looking in their closet.]
COMMERCIAL BREAK
[The camera is flying over the Central Perk set, and we get some close-ups of the coffee machine and the blackboard on the street. Then we're back with Oprah on the Central Perk set, and only David and Lisa are there.]
Oprah: Okay, so here's the friends' favourite hangout. Eveybody knows this. You watch the show. This is Central Perk. Lisa and David, you're gonna show us around?
Lisa: Yeah. We're always here, okay? (points to the couch area) Oprah: This is where you guys always...? David: General area, yeah.
Lisa: We don't sit back there. (points to the tables behind the couch)
David: We do drink real coffee during the show. (camera moves, so we see the coffee table the way the cast sees it from the couch. And there's coffee in the cups.)
Oprah: Is that a real cake? (pointing to the cake on the counter) David: This is real. Oprah: Real cake?
David: It's real. We've got real food here and uhm...
Lisa: Well, but you need to check, 'cause it's real from a month ago... Oprah: Okay.
[Clip from the show where Phoebe enters and sits down on her green chair.
Oprah's voice: Central Perk's comfy chairs and squishy sofa's are inviting. So much so, this set has been copied and immortalised by coffee houses around the world.]
Oprah: I saw this as a great, big coffee house. I mean, I have been on sets before, but... This is smaller than you thought, audience? (audience says yes) Yeah, a little smaller than you thought...
[time lapse, Oprah now walks to the set on the left of the Central Perk set.]
Oprah: Well now, we're going to Monica and Chandler's apartment where the whole gang spends a lot of time, so... Guys, hi... Courteney: Hey!
Oprah: Show us around your pad. Oh, this is very nice, the cranberries. (there are dishes with cranberries on the coffee table)
Courteney: Monica has always something fancy on the table. I don't know where she gets it.
Matthew: Yeah, she handled all that. [Clips of the apartment through the years:
Oprah's voice: For seasons, meticulous Monica's taste has been eclectic. Mixing modern, classic and corky. In person, you'll notice a lot more tchoskies.]
Matthew: I wanted to show you how romantic our bedroom is. Oprah: Okay. Let's see.
Matthew: (walks into Chandler and Monica's bedroom) Follow here. See how beautiful?
Oprah: Oh, yeah... Hi (waving to audience) That's, that's the bedroom. (the bedroom isn't there. We see the back of the set, which is plain wood and there's a lot of props standing there.
