- Quotes
[Ross has just convinced Rachel to make a list about his negative traits]
Rachel Green: Okay. You're whiny. You are... you're obsessive. You are insecure. You're gutless. You don't just seize the day. You liked me for, what, a year and you didn't do anything about it. And, uh... oh, you wear too much of that gel in your hair.
Dr. Ross Geller: See? There... you, uh... alright. You did what I said.
Rachel Green: Yeah, and you know what? You're right. I do feel better. Thank you, Ross.

Not A Great Episode
Not the best episode "Friends" ever produced but more than watchable.
Plot In A Paragraph: it's Christmas and Ross is desperate for Rachel to forgive him, without much success, so he tells her to make a cons list about him, hoping it will make her feel a bit better about the list he made about her. Meanwhile Pheobe decides she wants to meet her birth father and Joey and Chandler go with her. Elsewhere Monica an Rachel's birthday party turns into a sauna when the heating breaks.
All the cast do an OK job, but this episode was more about keeping things moving a long, Rachel is still mad at Ross who is keen to make amends and prove her wrong, and the Phoebe storyline deals with her accepting she has been told lies all her life about who her father really was. It has its moments, but it's not one of the seasons best.
