Summary:
In the beginning, they were talking about some dating language in Central Cafe. For example, "We should make it again" means "There is no next date", "We should meet some other guy" means "I am meeting".
Monica started to date a new guy named Allen, she introduced him to her friends. She got prepared to listen to some criticism from others, but they all liked Allen finally. Then she found she has no real feelings for Allen and wanted to break up with him. Friends were so sad, it seemed like they broke up with Allen. So funny.
Phoebe got more $500 in her bank account. It would make her feel guilty if she keeps the money, The sound "Not mine, Not mine" would follow her always. She told the bank about the money and the bank said sorry. In order to thank Pheobe finding the bank's system bug, they gave her another more $500 and a free phone as gifts. Such a good bank, I'd like to create an account too. Pheobe still didn't want to keep the money, she gave it to a homeless woman. The woman bought her a soda to thank her. It was horrible that Pheobe found a thumb floating in soda. Finally, the soda company gave $7,000 to her. Hahhahaha, lucky Pheobe.
Chandler started smoking again, other guys hope him to quit. He said it was normal to have a flaw, he counted Joey's flaw, Ross's flaw and others' flaws one by one. Pheobe promised to give him the $7,000 if he stops smoking. Then they made a deal with it.
Rachel always gave wrong items to the customers, they often can't get what they ordered.
Ross...
Joey...

step in a gum
step in sth. vs step on sth.
I think you step on something solid. You step on a stair. You step on the sidewalk. You step on someone's shoes. You step on the grass.
You step in something not solid. You step in water and get your shoes wet. You step in gum. You step in shit. You step in a puddle. When you step in something, it stays with you :P
Of course, "in" is also a preposition. So you step into a car if you're getting in a car (if you step onto a car, you're... climbing on top of it? on都是到物体的表面,in是内部). You step into a building, not onto a building.
