Added DiffLines:

* BothSidesHaveAPoint: Rachel is overwhelmed by Ross having mapped out a rather extensive domestic life, despite them having only started dating six weeks ago. Her version of thinking ahead is far more mundane and immediate, as well as (given her history) loathing the idea of people planning her life for her. Ross concedes he can't fault her for that, but he says it goes both ways and that there's nothing wrong with him thinking about and planning for the future.

Added DiffLines:

* ParentalSubstitute: Much to his lament, Richard finds he's this to Chandler and Joey rather than one of the guys.
* ThisIsGonnaSuck: When Phoebe talks about where her mother would stop ''Old Yeller'' and simply describe what happened next, Richard has this reaction while trying to convince her to look away from the TV.
