Watching and Discussing Reference for Task 2 In the movie clip, Rachel was doing fine until the very end of the interview when Mr. Zelner saw her to the door. Mr. Zelner extended his hand to open the door for Rachel. As they were standing very close to each other, Rachel, by a curious coincidence, kissed the interviewer on the cheek. Mr. Zelner was awfully embarrassed. After she got back home, she told Chandler and Joey her experience and had a hunch that she would be turned down. Just at that time Monica answered a phone call telling her that Ralph Lauren wanted Rachel back for a second interview. It was natural for Chandler and Joey to believe that it was the kiss that brought Rachel the good luck.

Watching and Discussing Reference for Task 3 In the movie clip, Rachel went to the job interview, hoping that she would get her ideal job. She was waiting outside the interviewer’s office, with a pen between her teeth. Don’t know how she got some ink on her lips. When the boss the interviewer, Zelner, asked her to come into her office. He was trying to wipe the ink on her lips, but Rachel misunderstood him and accused him of taking advantage of her. She wouldn’t allow a male boss to “ insult” her!

Rachel: Ugh, it was horrible! And-and the interview part went so well, y'know? I even made him laugh. He said something about a boat and I was like, "Well, yeah! If you've got enough life jackets!" Trust me, it was actually, it was very funny. Anyway, so we were saying good-bye and ugh! Joey: What happened?

Joey: You kissed him?! Rachel: Well, I didn't know what else to do! Chandler: Well, you coulda tried, not kissing him. Rachel: Thanks Chandler. Monica: (entering from the bathroom) Hey Rach, a guy from Ralph Lauren called, you got a second interview! Rachel: I can't believe it! I got a second interview! Monica: Yes! Joey: I bet that kiss isn't looking like such a big mistake now, is it?

Script for Video 2-3 Rachel: What-what, wait a minute, you don't think that's why he wants me back? Joey: Yeah! (Chandler makes a noise) No? Monica: A kiss? What are you talking about? Rachel: I accidentally kissed him in the interview, and now he wants me back y'know of course, 'cause "Let's bring the girl back who kisses everybody!" Chandler: Come on, Rach. Rachel: Oh my God! What if he thinks I'm the kind of girl that-that would just sleep with him? Monica: He probably wants you back because you're right for the job. Rachel: Maybe. I-I don't know — Oh God, how could I be so stupid?! Joey: Oh Rachel look, don't say that, I think you just need a hug from Joey: Come on. Come on.
