The One Where Ross Meets Elizabeth's Dad
ComedyFan201019 August 2011
Warning: Spoilers
A great episode! We get to meet Elizabeth's dad who is played by Bruce Willis. He is pretty good for the part and the scenes with him and Ross are just great

What is also great is the role of Rachel in this episode. She slightly messes it up already in the beginning when she comes in and says she is ready to talk Ross up in front of Elizabeth's dad when Paul is already sitting there, then she hooks up with Paul. This leads to a great scene when Ross sees them in the living room and pretends he doesn't see them, yells "Joey"runs into Joey's bedroom and doesn't want to come out. This gets even better when the four of them are having a dinner together and Rachel tries to talk Ross up and yet messes it all up by telling all about his marriages. I love this scene

The story about Joey almost losing his part is pretty good too. I like the scene when the operator of C.H.E.E.S.E. comes into his room saying that he won't get him fired if he teaches him how to deal with women. Very funny dialogue

Ross is going to meet Paul
Lady_Targaryen9 June 2009
Warning: Spoilers
It's Joey's first day as the main actor of MAC AND CHEESE's TV show, and he stays disappointed with the robot that is going to play Cheese, his partner. Joey tells bad things about the Robot to Wayne, the robot's creator, and this makes Wayne stay not only offended, but also doing all he can to annoy Joey in work, until he gets fired. Joey stays upset, and he asks Wayne a second chance. Wayne will give him a second chance to work in the TV show if Joey helps him with women.

Ross is nervous, since Elizabeth's father, Paul, wants to meet him. Elizabeth's father immediately doesn't like Ross because of the age difference, but Ross is determined to make everything he can to please Paul. He asks the Friends to tell good things about him (Ross) to Paul, in order to give Paul a good impression of him. Paul gets very interested in Rachel, so they all (Ross,Elizabeth,Rachel,Paul) decide to dinner together to see if Paul's bad impression about Ross can end, but everything ends even worst then before.

Phoebe is writing a book based in The Friend's relationships, specially Monica's and Chandler's relationship, and they both get really annoyed when they see Phoebe writing their discussions in a notebook.

The One Where Ross Meets Elizabeth's Dad

The lousy Chandler/Monica/Phoebe storyline aside this is a good episode of the show, featuring a nice guest star appearance from Bruce Willis.

The main and Joey storylines are good fun, and they carry the episode.

Meeting Elizabeth's Dad, Paul and Joey On Set
vivianla22 December 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Paul comes to the cafe with Elizabeth. Later he comes back in where Rachel is sitting alone with her cute outfit - long skirt and a top. He replies softly but in a gruff voice. Ross walks into Joey's apartment where Rachel is draped all over Paul.

The couples go out for dinner. It is revealed that Ross had three divorces.

On set, Joey and the robot guy have a tense relationship. Joey will get fired because the robot guy is to stay because he is the only operator of the robot. The robot guy asks Joey to teach him how to talk to women because of a hot tanned girl named Sarah who Joey previously approached.
