*** Ross spends the whole episode trying to come up with a perfect list, and his final version involves Creator/UmaThurman, Creator/WinonaRyder, Elizabeth Hurley, Creator/MichellePfeiffer, and Dorothy Hamill. He wanted to include Isabella Rosselini, but the guys convinced him that she's too international, so his odds would be very low. Too bad Rosselini did appear in their favourite coffee place; however, Rachel allowed him to hit on her despite being out of the list. It doesn't go well.
