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.

15. 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.
