For some factor, it’s constantly stuck to me that Chandler gets the last line in the series, when Rachel, who didn’t get on the airplane, recommends they all opt for coffee. In his signature ironical tone, Chandler asks, “Where?”
What made that easy however reliable minute land even harder was understanding that Perry himself asked for being the buddy to have latest thing. (Could he be anymore of a Chandler?)
“Before that last episode, I ‘d taken [co-creator/EP] Marta Kauffman to one side,” Perry composed in his 2022 narrative Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing “‘Nobody else will care about this except me,’ I said. ‘So, may I please have the last line?’ That’ s why as all of us troop out of the house, and Rachel has actually recommended one last coffee, I got to bring the drape down on Friends“
If that didn’t strike you right in the feels, Perry’s next observation makes certain to do so.
“I love the look on Schwimmer’s face as I deliver that line— it’s the perfect mixture of affection and amusement,” Perry shared, “precisely what the program Friends had actually constantly provided to the world.”–Tierney Bricker
