Well, I'm gonna fill in for him as food critic for the "Chelsea Reporter."

タウン紙に飲食店の批評を書くの。

Wow! Monica, what an amazing opportunity to influence...dozens of people.

モニカの舌で店の評価が決まる...読むのは20人でも。

How could you have said yes? What about our catering business?

ケイタリングの仕事は？

Oh, no, no. It's just one night a week.

取材は週一よ。

Plus, I get to take all of you out for a lot of free dinners.

みんなもタダで食事を。

Hey, Ross, quick question for you. Are you ready to party?

ロス、行くよな？飲み会だぜ。

I could maybe go out for a couple of beers but there's this thing about bumblebees on the Discovery Channel that I was..

行っても、すぐ帰るよ。マルハナバチの番組を見たいから。

No, no, no. I don't think you heard me. Are you ready...to party?

分かってないな。飲み会だぜ。

And who is this guy?

その人、誰？

Mike "Gandalf" Ganderson. Only, like, the funnest guy in the world.

本名はマイク・ガンダーセン。世界一、面白い男だ。

Well, why do you call him Gandalf?

何でガンダルフ？

Gandalf the wizard. Hello. Didn't you read "Lord of the Rings" in high school?

魔法使いの名だ。高校で『指輪物語』読んだろ？

No, I had sex in high school.

エッチだけしてた。

Joanna? I was wondering if I could ask you something.

ジョアンナさん、お願いがあります。

There's an opening for an assistant buyer in Junior Miss--

ジュニア部門のバイヤー職に...

Okay, but that would actually be a big step down for me.

私に応募しろと？

No, actually, I meant for me.

私が応募したいんです。

Look, you don't understand. Gandalf is amazing.

ガンダルフは人をノせる。

You know, you never know what's gonna end up happening.

何が起こるか分からない。

You go out for a couple of beers and end up on a fishing boat to Nova Scotia.

一緒に飲んで、気づいたらカナダで釣りしてたことも。

So you in town?

着いた？

Oh, well...well, maybe next time then.

じゃ、また今度な。

What happened?

どうした？

He's not gonna make it. He's stuck in Chicago.

シカゴを出れないと。

I especially like what I see here about implementing a new filing system.

ファイリング・システムを開発したとか？

Oh, you mean those little colored labels you put on all the folders?

ファイルに色付きラベルを張ったことね。

It certainly did brighten up the inside of the filing cabinets.

棚が華やいだわ。

I want a retraction. Our food is not inedible swill!

記事を取り消せ。『ゴミ料理』だと？

I couldn't eat it. I have five friends who couldn't eat it and one of them eats books.

本を食べる友達まで食べ残したわ。

Your marinara sauce tastes like tomato juice.

あのマリナラ・ソースは何？トマト・ジュースかと思った。

You should serve it with vodka and a piece of celery.

ウォッカとセロリを添えたら？

Hey, I'm proud of that sauce. It's delicious.

自慢のソースだ。

Oh, my god! You own an Italian restaurant and you think that tastes good?

イタリア料理店のオーナーが味音痴？

Now, just to brief you...I may cry...but...they are not tears of sadness or of anger but just of me having this discussion with you.

手短に言うわ。泣き虫だけど、悲しみや怒りの涙じゃない。あなたが哀れなの。

Rachel, please. Don't make a scene.

人前でやめて。

There's nobody here.

誰も、いないわ。

I don't want to lose you. What if I create a position for you?

残ってよ。部内でポストを作って...

I'll make you assistant buyer in this department.

バイヤー職に就けるわ。

Say more things like that.

それだけ？

You can have your own office and a raise, effective tomorrow.

部屋も与えるし昇給も。

So what if he didn't come? We can still go out and party ourselves.

俺たちで遊べばいいよ。

Oh, no. You know, with Gandalf, we'd be out all night.

彼となら、徹夜でバカ騒ぎ！

Yeah. We'd meet total strangers and hang out with them.

知らない連中も巻き込んで楽しめる。

Well, we could do that.

やればいいさ。

I'm kind of beat.

疲れたよ。

Actually...me, too.

実は俺もだ。

Thank God! I'm exhausted.

よかった、俺もだ。

How sad are we?

情けない。

You know what? We're not sad. We're just not 21 anymore, you know?

でも当然だよ。もう21歳じゃない。

I'm 29 years old, damn it and I want to sit in a comfortable chair and watch television and go to sleep at a reasonable hour.

29になった。のんびりテレビでも見て夜は寝たい。

I got us a job. The wedding reception.

仕事が入ったわ。結婚式の仕出しよ。

Um...Phoebe, I kind of need to talk to you about that.

その件で話がある。

Um...well, I think it might be time for me to take a step back from the catering.

ケイタリングから手を引く時期だわ。

Without you, it's just me driving up to people's houses with empty trays and asking for money.

空のトレーを運んでお金を請求しろと？

I'll pay you back all the money you invested and you can keep the van.

あなたの出資金は返すし車もあげるわ。

For what?

何に使うの？

You know what? I want you to take the chef job.

やっぱ料理長になって。

Really?

いいの？

Yeah. That's what you really want.

夢だもんね。

I don't want to be the reason you're unhappy. That would just make me unhappy and I really don't want to be the reason I'm unhappy.

モニカの不幸は私の不幸よ。不幸のもとになるのはイヤ。

Oh, hi, Mrs. Lynch. Is Joanna in already?

リンチさん、ジョアンナさんは？

Oh, my goodness. You haven't heard.

まだ知らないの？

Joanna...passed away last night.

ゆうべ、亡くなったの。

Oh, my god! How?

そんな、どうして？

Well, she was leaving work, and she was hit by a cab.

会社を出たとこで交通事故に。

Now, I know that Monica has a lot of great ideas for this place.

彼女には当店改善のアイデアがある。

Well, you all read the review.

記事は読んだね。

So without much further ado I present to you our new head chef.

前置きはこのくらいにしよう。新たな料理長だ。
