1:
Chandler: Okay, that's like the least fun game ever.
Rachel: Well, I'm really sick of your smoking, so I brought something that is going to help you quit. (hands him an audio cassette)
Chandler: Oh. (takes the cassette and puts it on his arm like the stop smoking patch, and it falls off.) Nope, that patch is no good. (Joey and Monica both do their fake laughs.)
Rachel: Come on, it's a hypnosis tape. This woman at work used it for two weeks straight and she hasn't smoked since.
Ross: Pffhah.
2:
Chandler: What check thing?
Monica: As a joke, this customer at work who has a crush on me gave me a $20,000 tip. His number is on the check, he just did so I'd call him.
Chandler:
Pete Becker. Pete?
Is this him?
3:
Pete: Come on, you gotta admit that our relationship is ah, is hitting a new level now. 'Cause you used to be like the chef, and I was the customer, and now we're like this-this couple that fights.
Monica: Okay, umm, you're a loon.
Pete: Look, forget the check, okay. (rips up the check) I like you. I think you're great. Come on, what do you say?
Monica: I don't know.
Pete: Why not?
Monica: 'Cause I don't want to encourage this kind of behaviour.
Pete: One meal! That't all I'm asking for. Please? We go out, we eat, and if you don't have a good time, I give you ten grand, we call it even.

讲解

这里的 OUt of someone’s hair 是指 not annoying or bothering someone，

即“不打扰或不烦某人”。out of someone’s hair 经常用于祈使语气
(imperative)之中，例如：Get out of my hair! 再举一例：

在 Friends 的第5季第4集中，Monica 在房里等待与 Chandler 约会，他
们的恋情还没有公开，但没想到 Rachel 突然进来。情急之下，Monica 谎称
那个神秘人是她的同事。Rachel 觉得 Monica 可信，说她马上就走，不会当
电灯泡，她说：

Y'know what，just give me a second and I'll be out of your hair．I'm just
gonna grab a jacket．When I get back，I want every little detail．(给我一秒钟
就行，我马上走人。我就取一件外套。等我回来的时候，我要你详详细细地讲给我听。)

与 out someone's hair 相对应的短语是 in someone's hair，表示“打扰或烦扰某人”，例如：

She was constantly in my hair，overseeing everything I did．(她经常烦
我，我做的每件事她都要过问。)再如：Dad was working on taxes，and the
children were getting in his hair．(爸爸在计算税款，但孩子们却一直在打扰他。)

注意 Joshua 和父母三人的用词，都有些不合身份。按理说，Joshua 在跟父母讲话时，不会说 you guys；而父母亲跟他讲话时，也不会说 sucks 等词，说明一家人都极为幽默风趣。
