I'm so sorry that you had to find out this way. I'm sorry, but it's true, I love him too.

(happily) My best friend and my sister! I cannot believe this. (He hugs them both.) (To Joey and Rachel) You guys probably wanna get some hugs in too, huh? Big news!

(quickly) I call Godfather!

Godfather. Don't you think her brother should be Godfather?

Sure, if you cared enough to call it first.

Explanation: Monica is a BYSTANDER as Joey is directly responding to Ross's challenge about calling Godfather, making it a two-person exchange that does not involve her.


And yet, here we are doing it again.

Ugh, Monica I don’t want to steal your stupid thunder!

Oh please! Why else would you have made out with Ross?!

All right, easy mimey, the moment has passed, it ain’t gonna happen!

I just thought it would be nice if I could have just this one night!

I swear, I never wanted any part of your night!

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, Monica should speak because Rachel's most recent utterance directly denies Monica's previous complaint, requiring a response to continue their heated exchange.


No way!  I've been going to the guy for 12 years.

Oh come on!  He said he was going to do my inseam, and he ran his hand up my leg, and then, there was definite...

That's how they do pants!  Ross, will you tell him? Isn't that how they measure pants?

ross was addressed by joey and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: Ross is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Joey directly addressed him, asking for his confirmation and opinion on how pants are measured.


God. I feel violated.

Did anybody else feel they just wanted to peel the skin off their body, to have something else to do?

(staring at a woman across the room) Ross, ten o'clock.

Is it? Feels like two.

(sighs and gestures to explain) There's a beautiful woman at eight, nine, ten o'clock!

monica did not speak next (ground truth)

Explanation: Monica is a BYSTANDER as Chandler's last utterance is a direct clarification to Ross about observing a woman, continuing their private exchange and shifting the topic away from Monica's previous general question.


(starting to cry) Oh Ross, thank you. Thank you. (They hug.)

Do you feel better?

No, not really. You’re pressing the baby into my bladder and now I have to pee. Sorry. (She gets up and starts for the bathroom.)

Just one thing umm…

We live together. You’re having our baby. I’m not gonna see anybody else. Are you-are you sure you don’t want something more?

(pause) Wow! I don’t know, maybe. I’m…

Oh-oh, Rach! I was just messin’ around! (She’s stunned) Like you did last night when I had to pee?

(laughs) I knew that! I knew that! I was just messin’ with you too!

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT; Rachel's last utterance, a laughing retort mirroring Ross's joke, provides a conclusive and lighthearted end to their playful exchange, not requiring an immediate verbal response from Ross.


Yeah. No. And you know what? Nobody even saw!

Honey I swear it we just kissed.

It was just a kiss. (Phoebe enters and overhears this.)

ross addressed phoebe, not rachel (ground truth)

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT Rachel should stay silent because Ross's utterance "It was just a kiss" directly confirms her previous statement, and Phoebe's entrance introduces a new potential participant to the conversation.


Oh, would you let it go already?! You’re fine!

Hey! So, did you quit?

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Rachel's question "Hey! So, did you quit?" is directed at another person, not Monica, making it not her turn to speak.


We think he was trying to spell out 'MONKEY.'

Well, the doctor says he's gonna be fine, he's just sleeping now.

(Tapping Ross on his shoulder) So, you feel like a dad yet?

(Quietly) hey, fella! How you doing?

chandler did not speak next (ground truth)

Explanation: Chandler is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Ross's quiet utterance "hey, fella! How you doing?" is a private address to his sleeping baby, not a response to Chandler's question or an invitation for Chandler to speak.


Oh wait, Ross, would you just stay and help me get dressed?

Rachel, I’ve seen you naked a million times. I ate hot fudge off you naked. Remember, I-I sucked that mini-marshmallow out of your belly button?

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT as Ross just directly addressed her by name and humorously responded to her request with a series of intimate memories, expecting her reaction.


No! Phoebe, it’s not Gunther.

Thank God, ‘cause that hair on a baby…

Phoebe the father is not here okay? I haven’t told him yet and I don’t think I can tell him at all now!

I don’t know, let me think. I was walking down the street thinking, ‘I’m gonna tell the father today’ and then bam!

No, you! Phoebe you freaked me out. You kept saying how huge this all is!

Well-well but it is huge.

I know, but I was just thinking about how huge this is for me. I didn’t even go to how huge this was going to be for the father.

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Rachel has been directly addressing her throughout the exchange, and Rachel's most recent utterance continues their shared discussion about the "hugeness" of the situation, inviting Phoebe's further input.


Ok. Hello everyone and thank you all for being here tonight. So tomorrow's the big event and some of you might not know, but Mike and I didn't get off to the best start. (she reads a note). My friend Joey and I decided to fix each other up with friends so I, I... (Monica is twirling her hands in order to make Phoebe speed up her speech) oh I... hum... I gave it a lot of thought and I fixed him up with my friend Mary Ellen who couldn't be here tonight because... (Monica is tapping her watch with her finger) it's not important... she is in rehab. Anyway, so, ok, Joey said that he was fixing me up with his friend Mike, only he didn't have a friend Mike so he just brought, uhm, my Mike and, and (Monica clears her throat) but despite, you know... it got... it got good. Ok, I wanna take a moment to mention my mother, who couldn't be here...

Oh, is that so? Ok. If that's really what you want, then here... I give you the headset. Well, I don't really want to give you the headset. Well I guess if you're taking over, you should probably return these messages. (hands her a stack of papers with messages and calls to return)

phoebe did not speak next (ground truth)

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Monica's last utterance is a statement and an action of handing over the headset and messages, effectively shifting Phoebe's role and giving her a new task rather than inviting an immediate verbal response.


Joey, I’m not worried about her! I’m worried about my baby! Whoever she dates my baby dates! Now-now where is this (makes the quote-marks sign) actor taking them?

Hey! I’m an (does the quote-marks thing as well) actor too! I’m not sure. I think they’re taking the ferry out to some Italian place on Staten Island.

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT; Ross asked Joey a direct question about where the actor was taking them, and Joey just provided the requested information, making it Ross's turn to acknowledge or follow up.


Joey, y'know you get any mustard on that bag, you can't return it.

Why would I return it? I love this bag!

All right, then you owe me $350.

Fine! Do you take Vasa or Mustercard? (He's holding the fake credit cards that come with the bag.)

rachel did not speak next (ground truth)

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Joey's humorous question about credit cards is a rhetorical joke that concludes their negotiation about the bag, not requiring a direct response from Rachel.


He probably wants you back because you're right for the job.

Maybe. I-I don't know—Oh God, how could I be so stupid?!

Oh Rachel look, don't say that, I think you just need a hug from Joey. Come on. Come on. (She hugs him and Joey looks out the window.) She's back! Hot girl's back!

joey addressed rachel, not monica (ground truth)

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Joey has just interjected to comfort Rachel and then got distracted by exclaiming about a "hot girl," shifting the focus away from the previous discussion about Rachel's job.


Oh, Joey! Oh, okay, see I didn't recognize you wearing, in those....pants.

Look listen, that TV movie I went in for? Did you hear anything? I think I got a shot at it.

Yes! They called and you didn't get it! Okay, I mean you didn't get it, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Phoebe just directly answered Joey's question about his audition with negative news and immediately apologized, prompting Joey to respond to the outcome.


And you're gonna make them all disappear.

Yeah, like you could find something as sophisticated as this.

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Joey's direct retort, "Yeah, like you could find something as sophisticated as this," challenges Chandler's previous statement and serves as a strong, potentially concluding, point in.


Joey we know you steal our food.

I can’t believe Ross went out with Rachel’s sister! When Chandler made out with my sister I was mad at him for 10 years.

Explanation: Monica is a BYSTANDER as Joey completely ignored her accusation about stealing food and instead launched into an unrelated exclamation about Ross and Rachel's sister, which was not addressed to Monica.


Because I knew you were lying!

All right, come here! (She gets up and drags Rachel off of the couch by her legs.)

(as she's being dragged) What are you? Monica!! Stop it!! Oh my God! Stop it! (Monica drags her totally onto the floor and on her back.)

I am going… I'm going--Turn it over! (Rachel rolled onto her stomach and Monica rolls her back.) I'm… I am going to get these drops in your eyes. (She is holding Rachel down with both hands and has the eyedropper in her mouth.)

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Monica is physically restraining her and explicitly stating her intention to put eyedrops in her eyes, directly prompting Rachel to continue her protests against the action.


Hey, y’know what, if you’re gonna do that, if you’re gonna name him Joey, you should name him Chandler. (Phoebe doesn’t think so.) Oh, come on! Chandler’s funny, sophisticated, and he’s very loveable, once you get to know him.

Oh well, hey, Joey’s loveable too! But the thing about Joey is, if you need him, he’ll be there.

Well, Chandler will be there for you too. I mean, well, he might be a little late, but-but, he’ll be there. And he’ll bring you some cold soda, if want you need him for is that you’re really hot.

Explanation: Joey is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT in a playful debate with Chandler, who just directly responded to Joey's previous point about the qualities of the name "Joey.".


Oh, y’know I'm not that much of a sweet tooth. I—(Chandler puts a forkful of the cheesecake in her mouth.)—Wow. My God, so creamy. Oh my God, this is the best cheesecake I have ever had. Where did you get this? (She reaches over to look at the label on the box.)

(nervously) It was at the front door. When I got home. Somebody sent it to us.

Chandler, this is not addressed to you. This is addressed to Mrs. Braverman downstairs. (Gasping) Thief.

I—no! I didn't read the box before I opened it. And you can't return a box after you've opened the box.

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Chandler is still explaining his actions and defending himself after she accused him of being a thief.


Okay. Do you guys want me to play for you?

Hey Pheebs, what’s up?

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Chandler directly addressed Phoebe with a greeting and a question, inviting her to respond and continue the conversation.


Yeah—No wait! Joey no wait it is. It’s something. It’s-it’s umm…it’s my boss.

What?! Oh my-oh my God!

I know I told you, it’s a really big problem.

What he wants to buy your baby?!

Can you believe that?!

Explanation: Joey is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Rachel's "Can you believe that?!" is a rhetorical question expressing her own disbelief, which doesn't directly prompt Joey to take the next speaking turn but rather invites shared emotional reaction.


No well, no it's not that bad, y'know? I mean yeah, my tongue feels a little fuzzy and these fingers sort of smell, I actually feel like I can throw up.

Okay, but you gotta push past this because it is about to get so good!

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: As an active participant in the group discussion, Monica can interject with a comment or question related to Rachel's discomfort or Chandler's encouragement for her to push through it.


You a little sad about that sweetheart?

I have to tie my shoe, so you go ahead, I'll catch up.

Explanation: Joey is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, as Phoebe's statement about tying her shoe and telling "you" (Joey) to go ahead is a concluding remark that doesn't solicit a verbal response from him.


[her and Richard return to her place] So are you ok?

Yeah, just, I feel like I'm about a hundred. I thought I was just one of the guys.

Come here. I'll make you feel like one of the guys. You know for a really cool guy, you suck at foosball.

Explanation: Richard is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, as Monica's last utterance is directly addressed to him, offering comfort and then playfully teasing him about his foosball skills, which invites a direct response.


Yeah, we'll be okay.

Love you guys. (he kisses Monica, he, Rachel and Phoebe leave.)

I know there'll be other houses, but it's just so... I love that one so much.

Explanation: BYSTANDER, Ross has already said his goodbyes and is physically leaving, while Monica's last statement is a personal reflection not directed at him.


What are you doing? We're going to a hospital.

What, so I can't lokk nice? There might be doctors there.

Explanation: BYSTANDER: Ross and Rachel are engaged in a direct exchange about Rachel's appearance for the hospital, and Joey is not being addressed or involved in their conversation.


(stopping him) Hey, whoa-whoa! What's she like?

Uhh, well, she's…really good in bed.

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Monica should speak because Joey's explicit and somewhat crude answer about the woman's bedroom skills, given in response to Chandler's question, creates an opening for a reaction or comment from another active participant in the group.


Wow, this is serious. I’ve never known you to pay money for any kindof capade.

I don’t know. I like her, you know. She’s different. There’suh, somethin’ about her.

That you like, (snappily confronting Joey over the heads of the knittingcircle) we get it. You like her. Great!

phoebe addressed joey, not chandler (ground truth)

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Phoebe directly confronted Joey about his repeated sentiment, making her utterance a direct address to him that shifts the immediate conversational focus.


Oh yeah, about telling Mom and Dad, I was thinking about maybe writing a letter.

Alright, you know what? That’s it. You’ve had your chance.

(out loud, to her parents) Mom! Dad! Ross smoked pot in college!

ross was addressed by monica and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: Ross is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Monica just publicly revealed a secret about him to their parents, directly putting him on the spot and requiring a response.


Yeah, well, does he look upset? Does he look like he was just told to shove anything?

No, no actually, he's smiling.. and... Oh my God, don't do that!!

That man across the street just kicked that pigeon! (Rachel enters.) Oh!

, and I had that chicken, where y'know you poke it and all the butter squirts out...

Not a good day for birds...

Explanation: Rachel is a BYSTANDER; Phoebe's comment "Not a good day for birds..." is a continuation of her own observation about the pigeon and is not addressed to Rachel, who just entered and made an unrelated comment about chicken.


Oh, I’m sorry, Ross. I’ll get it for you right now. And since I made you wait, I’ll toss in a free muffin.

Phoebe. We would like to talk to you for a second.

So, maybe I am a little high maintenance. And maybe Rachel is a little bit of a pushover. But you know what we decided you are?

monica addressed rachel, not joey (ground truth)

Explanation: BYSTANDER; Monica's question is directed at Phoebe, continuing Rachel's earlier address to Phoebe, and does not involve Joey in the current exchange.


I believe in tall, handsome strangers who hit on my wife!

They’re just talking, and y’know what? Just because I think they’re soul mates doesn’t mean anything’s gonna happen.

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Chandler's previous utterance directly concerned her ("my wife"), and Phoebe's subsequent comment is about the situation involving Monica, making it appropriate for Monica to offer her perspective or respond to the discussion about her.


Something went wrong with Underdog, and they couldn't get his head to inflate. So anyway, um, his head is like flopping down Broadway, right, and I'm just thinking... how inappropriate this is. Um, I've got something in my eye, uh, Joey, could we check it in the light, please?

Come on, they're close.

Close? She's got her tongue in his ear.

Explanation: Joey is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Monica's rhetorical question and descriptive statement, "Close? She's got her tongue in his ear," serves as a conclusive rebuttal to Joey's previous comment that does not explicitly solicit a further verbal response from him.


Oh, I think you're right. Oh, wow. Phoebe, I don't think I   can give one of them up. I mean, you know, they drive me crazy, but   they're my babies.

I'm sorry, Frank. I didn't realise things were so bad. You   know, I'll help out more. I can - I can babysit any time you want. You   name the day, and I'll be there.

How about tomorrow?

Well, that's not good. But you know, I can move some stuff   around, and I'll be there. You and Alice just take the whole day   together.

You'd do that for us?

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT. Although Frank Jr. asks her directly, "You'd do that for us?", this question functions more as an expression of his surprise and gratitude,.


When they see this you'll be 52!

And starting to think about settling down!

Hey Joey, will you please set this up for people to put Emma's presents    on?

(To Phoebe) We were supposed to bring presents?

Oh, yeah! How was I supposed to know?

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Joey's most recent utterance is a rhetorical question about presents, continuing his side conversation with Phoebe, and is not directed at Rachel.


(To Rachel) Listen umm, yeah okay, I need to talk to you!

Now I know that they said that the umm, the hair straightener started the fire but I think I’m partly at fault. You see, I didn’t, I didn’t tell you but umm, but I-I had recently refilled the tissues and so y’know let’s just face it, that’s just kindling! So I think it’s better that I stay at Joey’s.

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Rachel should speak because Phoebe explicitly initiated a conversation with her and has just finished a lengthy explanation directed at Rachel, awaiting her response.


Oh, you have no idea. And-and when we’re on stage I get to-to kiss her and-and touch her, but then she goes home with the director, and it’s like somebody’s ripping out my heart!

to see you feeling like this!

Monica, uh Dad called this morning and ah, Aunt Silvia passed away.

ross addressed monica, not joey (ground truth)

Explanation: BYSTANDER; Ross has just addressed Monica directly to deliver news about Aunt Silvia, creating a private exchange between them that does not involve Joey.


Seriously, what-what's the part?

"Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!"

C'mon, seriously, Joey, what's the part?

...I'm his butt double. 'Kay? I play Al Pacino's butt. Alright? He goes into the shower, and then- I'm his butt.

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Joey's detailed explanation of his role as Al Pacino's butt double is a complete answer to the question she and Ross asked, not directly soliciting a further response from her.


(To Joey) You ate meat! (Joey is shocked) (To Chandler and Monica) You had sex! (They’re shocked.)

All right, I’m gonna go say hi the chick and the duck.

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Joey's statement "All right, I’m gonna go say hi the chick and the duck" is an announcement of his departure, not a direct address to Phoebe that requires a response from her.


No, Beth doesn’t die, she doesn’t die. Does she Rachel?

No. She doesn’t die.

Because, I wanted to hurt you.

Explanation: Chandler is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Rachel's most recent utterance, "Because, I wanted to hurt you," is a declarative and potentially emotionally charged statement that is not a question and does not explicitly invite an immediate verbal response from him.


(to Ross, mouthing) Don't make me come up there!

Yeah! Let's go out.

Explanation: Joey is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Ross's utterance "Yeah! Let's go out" is a general statement or an invitation to someone else, not a direct response to Joey's mouthed warning that requires Joey to speak.


It's easy, you just walk in on them having sex.

Oh, so they owe me like, three Phoebes.

Oh my god! Look, it's Ross and Rachel. Oh, the plan is working.

The first date we've had in months, and they were both such disasters.

Explanation: BYSTANDER; Ross's lament about his and Rachel's dates is a continuation of Phoebe's observation about them, and it is not directed at Joey, who was discussing a different topic previously.


But hey, it's courtside. The cheerleaders are going to be right    in fr. . . (Pause) That's not the way to convince you.

Chandler look, I don't want to be one of those wives who says, "You    can't go to the game. You have to spend time with me." So, if you could just    realize it on your own . . .

chandler was addressed by monica and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: Chandler is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Monica just directly addressed him and made a statement about his desire to go to the game, requiring his response.


You wanna tell secrets?! Okay! Okay! In college, Ross used to wear leg warmers!

All right! All right! Chandler entered a Vanilla Ice look-a-like contest and won!

Ross came in forth and cried!

Explanation: Ross is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, as Chandler's last utterance directly targets him with a personal revelation, but the nature of the jab might imply a pause for reaction rather than an immediate counter-secret.


Well, it’s because I trust you, you’re one of my best friends, and you walked in on me when I was looking at ring brochures.

Yeah well, once again not knocking pays off. I only wish you hadn’t been on the toilet.

Hey! So Chandler, wanna go to the coffeehouse?

Oh all right.

Oh well, we don’t because we got…the…other pl-place.

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT as Chandler's last utterance is a direct response to her invitation to go to the coffeehouse, providing a reason why they don't need to go.


Well, then talk!

Okay, I will. Remember that thing that we just discussed that you wanted to do?

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Monica is directly responding to Rachel's prompt to talk and is in the middle of introducing a topic they previously discussed, indicating she is still holding the floor.


Wow! That is a bad audition.

How-how did you lose your job here?

Explanation: Joey is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Rachel directly asked him how he lost his job, which requires a response from him.


(shocked) You let Joey drive it?!

Yeah, you got a couple hours?

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT; Joey has just answered her question and is about to elaborate on the story, making it his turn to continue speaking.


Oh Ross, come on! You just did what you had to do.

That's it? You're not mad? I mean, it must've been terrible.

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Ross directly addressed her with questions about her feelings and experience, prompting her to respond.


Ok. (She sits on the bed and Ross sits near her) Thank you for coming with me today.

Oh, of course...

Rachel Green is very happy you're in her room!

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Rachel directly addressed Ross with a playful statement about his presence in her room, inviting a reciprocal or appreciative response.


I don’t know, y'know. What, what, would you do?

Come on, tell me.

All right, you’re probably not gonna want to hear this but ah, if it was me, and this is just me, (Chandler gets ready to throw another dart) I would ah, I would bow out.

What? (turns around quickly still ready to throw the dart and Joey quickly ducks and hides behind the chair) What are you, what are you talking about?

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT. Chandler directly asked Joey for advice and then immediately questioned Joey's response, requiring Joey to elaborate on what he was talking about.


What is your job?

Staying out of the way.

This is impossible Monica, why don’t you just pick all 15? (Hands back the paper.)

joey addressed monica, not chandler (ground truth)

Explanation: BYSTANDER, Chandler should stay silent because Joey is now speaking directly to Monica about a task they are doing, and Chandler is not involved in that exchange.


(to Lauren) In a minute!!

So this is it? Victor?

Yeah, I guess it is. (sees Kate is watching, he turns Lauren so that he can talk directly to Kate, but still look like he is talking to Lauren) Listen, I ah, I gotta say good bye, and-and I gotta say it quick ‘cause this is killing me. One thing you gotta know, is that I will never forget you. But, you’ve got things you have to do now, and so do I. And so… I’m gonna get on this spaceship, (smoke starts pouring in from the ceiling, and a ladder comes down, with flashing, colored lights on the side of it) and I’m gonna go to Blargon 7 in search of alternative fuels. But when I return, 200 years from now, you’ll be long gone. But I won’t have aged at all. (gets on the ladder) So you tell your great-great-granddaughter to look me up, because Adrienne, baby, I’m gonna want to meet her.

So long, Vic! (waving good bye as the ladder retracts)

Explanation: Joey is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Lauren's "So long, Vic!" is a direct farewell to him as he is physically leaving on the retracting ladder, which serves as a concluding send-off to his dramatic exit.


(entering) Joey, do you have a minute?

(To Ross) Uh, Rachel's here, so good luck man, let me know how it works out. (He hangs up the phone and strands Ross in the bathroom.)

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because she just entered and directly addressed Joey with a question, and Joey's subsequent action of ending his phone call acknowledges her presence and prepares to respond to her.


Rachel, didn't have anything that I liked, so, but she had this Christmas ribbon, and I thought, 'All right, fine I'll be political.'

(entering from her room) Okay, Pheebs, quick, what shoes should I wear? The black or the purple?

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Rachel directly addressed her and asked for her opinion on which shoes to wear.


You just stay here! (Dumps a jar of bath salts in the bathtub)

Oh, hey, Monica, I brought back your iron.

Oh, you had that?

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, and while Monica's "Oh, you had that?" is directed at Phoebe in response to the iron, it functions more as an exclamation of.


Hey! That was a practical purchase! I needed that car for transportation! Okay? I-I have a child!

How hot do I look in this, huh?!

Ross, a sports car? Wouldn’t it have been cheaper to just stuff a sock down there?

been into cars.

Explanation: Chandler is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Ross's last utterance, "been into cars," is a general statement continuing his defense of the car, not a direct question or prompt for Chandler to respond.


Oh my God. Richard? (turns around) Hi!

So, you look great.

No you do. You... just...

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, and Richard is still speaking, elaborating on his compliment directly to her, indicating he has not finished his turn.


No, actually I thought about it when, when we were going out. It’s how I imagined I uh, I would ask you to marry me.

Well, that would’ve been very hard to say no too.

It’s a good thing I didn’t do it, because it sounds like it would’ve been a very expensive wedding. (Rachel laughs) Okay, good night

I will think about it.

Explanation: Ross is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Rachel's "I will think about it" is a concluding, reflective statement from her side of the conversation, not a direct question or prompt for Ross to respond further, especially after he already said "Okay, good night.".


Okay, get ready to see some beggin’!

Oh, you came on to Ross!

phoebe addressed ross, not rachel (ground truth)

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Rachel is an active participant, but Phoebe's exclamation "Oh, you came on to Ross!" is an observation about Rachel's implied actions rather than a direct question requiring an immediate response from Rachel.


(to Rachel, as she gets his number) What, he gave you his home number? As in like, to, to his home?

Yeah, and you don’t mind if I call, because you only want good things for me.

That’s right good things, that-that is what I said. (glances at Monica)

(on phone) Hello, Mark? Hi, it’s Rachel Green. (listens) Oh no, don’t you apologize. (listens) Yeah, I’ll hold. (to Monica and Ross) He left my number at work, but he was helping his niece with her report on the pioneers.

Explanation: Ross is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, as Rachel just provided an update to both him and Monica about her call with Mark, directly following their previous exchange about Mark's number.


You obviously haven't tasted my Palmolive potatoes!

Hey! Hey, guess what Joey has!

joey was addressed by ross and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: Joey is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT as Ross directly brought him into the conversation by asking others to guess what Joey has, which invites Joey to elaborate or respond.


Hey, where’d you get that?

I went really long.

Forty-two to twenty-one! Like the turkey, Ross is done!

monica addressed ross, not rachel (ground truth)

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Monica's celebratory taunt about the score is directed solely at Ross, not involving Rachel in the current exchange.


(entering) Hey Ross? Umm, I just ran into Caitlin in the hallway and-and uh, you must be getting better at this flirting stuff than I thought.

What do you mean?

Well, I don't get it, but she wanted me to give you her phone number. (Hands him the slip of paper with the phone number on it.)

And she just gave you this?

Rach, thanks but uh, I don't need you doing me any favors.

I-I-I didn't! I didn't! She thought you were cute.

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, Ross should speak because Rachel's last statement directly defends herself against his accusation that she was doing him a favor, requiring a response from him regarding the phone number.


Okay, I got it. Phoebe? All right, you pull. I'm gonna spread the legs as wide as I can. (Joey starts giggling.) Joey? Now is not the time!

(pointing) It worked! I scared ya, I knew it! Ha-ha!

(turning all the way around, and still not facing Chandler) Yeah, you are! (Starts dancing.) I scared you!

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Joey's most recent utterance, "Yeah, you are! I scared you!", is directed at Chandler, shifting the focus of the conversation away from Monica.


(laughs) All I could think of was y’know, "Is he gonna kiss me? Is he gonna kiss me?"

I’m a lady Monica, I don’t kiss and tell. But this hickey speaks for itself. (She starts to open up her blouse.)

Okay-okay, I got it. I got it.

I just like him so much that I just feel like I’ve had 10 drinks today and I’ve only had six.

Oh, I haven’t had that feeling since I first started going out with Chandler. Wow, I’m never gonna have that feeling again am I?

You sound like a guy.

No, a guy would be saying, "I’m never gonna get to sleep with anyone else." Oh my God! I’m never gonna get to sleep with anyone else! I’ve been so busy planning the wedding that I forgot about all the things that I’d be giving up! I mean, I…I’m never gonna have a first kiss again.

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because she initiated the discussion about relationship feelings, and Monica's recent monologue is a direct continuation of this shared topic, making it natural for Phoebe to respond to Monica's personal reflection.


Hey! I’m sorry! That—(sees that Joey is about to leave) where are you going?

I don’t know. I might stay there for a few days while I look for an apartment.

Yeah, y’know at first I thought we could talk about this y’know, work it out, but uh, seeing you two together I don’t think I…

Hey, look, what do you want me to say? Do you want me to say that I’ll stop seeing her?

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT; Chandler directly asked Joey what he wants him to say, but the emotionally charged nature of the question about stopping his relationship with Monica might cause Joey to pause and reflect rather than.


Seriously, what-what's the part?

"Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!"

Explanation: Ross is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT as he is part of the group discussing Joey's acting news, and he might react to Joey's dramatic, non-direct answer to Phoebe's question about the part.


No! No, no-no-no Joey he doesn’t want to buy my baby! I made that up!

And you couldn’t think of anything else?!

(To Joey) I can’t believe that you yelled at my boss! I’m-I’m gonna lose my job! What am I going to do?!

Explanation: Joey is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT; Rachel just expressed her distress and a rhetorical question directly to Joey about his actions, which is an emotional outpouring that doesn't necessarily demand an immediate verbal response from him.


Oh no-no-no, no more offers. You can’t offer anything to us!

Let us keep the apartment and…

As a thank you, Rachel and I will kiss for one minute.

rachel was addressed by monica and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Monica just made an offer that directly involves Rachel, requiring her response or continuation of the negotiation.


(quietly) Bye, fat ass.

ALL RIGHT!! Phoebe now come on! Will you please tell me what it is I did that mad you so mad at me!

I don't know! I don't remember!

Well if you can't remember, can't we just forget about this?

Oh no, I am mad at you. I know that much. But, I am sorry about the fat ass thing. You actually have a very sweet little hiney.

Explanation: Ross is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Phoebe's last utterance concludes her apology and compliment regarding the "fat ass" comment, and she has not yet provided the reason for her anger, leaving the.


Really? Which one?

(stopping Joey from answering) Ohh! Fish, seaweed, a sunken ship.

Would you guys want to come down tomorrow and watch me tape the show?

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT. Joey just extended a general invitation to "you guys" to watch him tape the show, which, while including Monica, does not specifically prompt her to respond.


Thanks. But maybe later.

Oh, Gunther, can I get a scone?

gunther was addressed by phoebe and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Phoebe directly addressed Gunther and asked him a question about getting a scone.


Oh, so you’re already doing your part for the kids.

I’m sorry, it’s just one of my last nights together before she leaves for camp—to be a counselor!

Ross let me ask you a question. All jokes aside, where is this relationship going?

monica addressed ross, not chandler (ground truth)

Explanation: BYSTANDER, Monica directly asked Ross a personal question about his relationship, making it an exchange specifically between them.


Yes. Yes I do.

All right Ross you’re in the lead, would you like to take another question or spin the Wheel of Mayhem?

The wheel has not been my friend tonight Joey. Uh, I’ll take another question.

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Joey, as the game host, needs to acknowledge Ross's direct answer to his previous question and continue facilitating the game.


Oh, I thought it was just a kid yelling, "I’m gay! I’m gay!" Can I bring her in?

Oh no, let her stay out there. It’s sweet.

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT as she is part of the group discussing whether to bring the child in, and Phoebe's recent comment provides an opening for Monica to offer her own opinion on the matter.


You'd better get back in that kitchen Monica, the garlic is not gonna overuse itself.

Ok, you have to stop playing now.

Why? The only person my playing is bothering is you!

Oh yeah? Ok, let's settle this, come on!

(while Monica drags her in the restaurant) Get your garlic-peelers off me!

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT; Monica has just physically engaged Phoebe by dragging her, and Phoebe's last utterance is a direct complaint about Monica's actions, making it Monica's turn to respond or continue the interaction.


military leader. I mean I know I would make General way before any of you guys.

Before or after you were shot by your own troops?

I know where Joey would be. He would be down in the foxhole protecting all of us.

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, Ross directly brought Joey into the conversation by stating where he would be and what he would be doing, inviting a response from him.


It used to be. Now she doesn’t really have a face. Smokin’ body though.

Good call. Yeah. But, the face Ross, the face isn’t Rachel.

No but ahh! How much easier would it be if it were?

Explanation: Joey is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, as Ross's last utterance directly responds to Joey's previous point about the woman's face not being Rachel, inviting Joey to continue the discussion.


Hey Ross, check this out! (he tries to spin a basketball on his fingertip but he throws it against a table) yeah, I can't do that!

Have you seen this? It's a new alumni website for college! It's cool! You can post messages for people, let everyone know what you're up to.

Explanation: Joey is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Ross has just introduced a new topic about a college alumni website and is explaining its features, not directly soliciting a response from Joey.


No, no, no, no! Ross, wait! Come on! You know, there’s other stuff. Here’s a nice shirt, look at these nice pants...

Uh, actually these might look pretty good on me.

Yes, they will! You know what you should do? Just go take a walk, all right? I know your size and I’m... I’m gonna pick up some really good stuff for you.

Yes! And I know what looks sexy on guys. Please, just wear what I suggest, and she’s gonna go nuts for you.

So, you’re saying, uh, if I wear these pants I might be getting into hers?

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Ross's suggestive and rhetorical question about the pants is a playful comment directed at her that does not require a direct verbal response.


Well that’s it. I’m done. Whew! (Wipes his forehead.) There come the meat sweats. (Chandler hands him a towel and he wipes his face.)

Yes, I believe we can expect a call from the President any moment now.

No just, nobody press on my stomach.

Explanation: Chandler is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Joey's last utterance is a general declaration about his physical state and not a direct address or question requiring a response from Chandler.


Chloe, Chloe how’s it coming?!!

(entering from bedroom) Hey, what kind of puppy do you think I should get?

Umm, oh, hey, I don’t know. How about a big one?

Well then a small one!! Listen, let’s, we kinda have to get going!

Wait! Where’s my shoes?

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT; Chloe's "Wait! Where's my shoes?" is a self-directed statement as she prepares to leave, not a direct question requiring Ross's immediate input, especially since Ross just urged them to get going.


Please ... if I win the lottery, you guys are not gonna leave me. Someone gave me a basket of mini-muffins last week and I couldn't get rid of you for 3 days!

Chandler, would you just tell her what she did was wrong?

(to Mon) She's right, you shouldn't have bought tickets just for us ...

Let me finish ... (to everyone else) however, it doesn't look like I'm gonna get this job so I can't afford to have principles, so screw you, the tickets are ours!! (takes tickets from Rachel)

monica did not speak next (ground truth)

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Monica is an active participant, but Chandler's definitive declaration about the tickets and his action of taking them from Rachel concludes his argument and does not directly solicit an immediate verbal response from her.


Then, I don't get it.

Well, you know what Chandler? I think you've gotta face it. You're like, the guy in the big office, you know. You're the one that hires them, that fires them... They still say you're a great boss.

But I just wa...

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, and Chandler's "But I just wa..." is an attempt to finish his thought or counter her previous advice, indicating he should be allowed to continue speaking.


Because! You’re mean on the boat!

What? I was just trying to teach you.

Well, lesson learned! Rachel is mean!

rachel was addressed by joey and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, and Joey just directly accused her of being mean, prompting her to respond to his statement.


You don’t need to fill these silences.

Chandler, that’s like your fourth cup of coffee!

Well, I am drinking lots of cups of coffee because I’m exhausted! Because Joey started snoring!

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Chandler just responded directly to her comment about his coffee intake, providing a reason for his exhaustion that she might want to follow up on.


I’ll be in there. (Goes into the bedroom.)

Joey, I’m really sorry that I lied to you. I was just trying to make things…

rachel addressed joey, not chandler (ground truth)

Explanation: BYSTANDER. Rachel is directly addressing Joey with an apology, and Chandler has just physically removed himself from the room, making him an observer to their private exchange.


I have plans.

All right, Chandler can make boxes, Ross can wrap, and Joey can lift things. Now Phoebe, go tell the guys they have to help out!

phoebe was addressed by monica and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, as Monica directly addressed Phoebe and gave her a specific instruction to tell the guys to help out, requiring a response or acknowledgment.


I'm     kissing Rachel!

I know, I'm her!

Explanation: Joey is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT as Rachel's "I know, I'm her!" directly responds to his previous statement, acknowledging it without explicitly inviting a further immediate turn from him.


Here you go.

So do you want to hang out or something?

Phoebe! You kinda caught me at a bad time.

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because she just asked Monica a question, and Monica directly responded to her by name, explaining why she couldn't hang out, which invites a follow-up from Phoebe.


Yeah, we’re not just doing a card! Y’know, she-she also wants to  have the conversation about where the relationship is going.

I know! I know! Why do you guys need to have this conversation?! Huh? I  mean no self-respecting man would ask a woman, "So, where is this going?"

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Ross is complaining about "you guys" needing to have a relationship conversation, directly addressing the type of discussion Rachel would be involved in and inviting her to respond to his strong opinion.


He's planning your birthday party.

Oh my God! I love him!

(as Phoebe enters) You'd better act surprised.

joey addressed phoebe, not monica (ground truth)

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Joey's instruction to "act surprised" is a directive for her to follow as Phoebe enters, not a question requiring a verbal reply.


Nobody is opening anything ok? Look, I don’t know about you guys, but I wanna see the look on Monica’s face when I give her my present, and I’m sure she wants to see the look on my face when I get mine. So please, please, can we just, can we put them back?

Will you get us better gifts?

Hey guys! You found the presents? Chandler, you let them find the presents? Great! Do you know how long it took me to find you that water purifier?

monica addressed chandler, not phoebe (ground truth)

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Monica's last utterance is specifically directed at Chandler, questioning him about letting them find the presents and mentioning his water purifier gift, making him the primary addressee.


Wh, Ross what do you want from me? You want me, you want me to quit my job so you can feel like you have a girlfriend?

No, but it’d be nice if you realised, it’s just a job!

Ross do you realise this is the first time in my life I’m doing something I actually care about. This is the first time in my life I’m doing something that I’m actually good at. I mean. if you don’t get that...

No, hey, I get that, okay, I get that big time. And I’m happy for ya, but I’m tired of having a relationship with your answering machine! Okay, I don’t know what to do anymore.

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, as Ross's most recent utterance directly addresses her previous points and expresses his frustration with their relationship, inviting her to respond to his dilemma.


Then you’re not invited. (Starts for the door again.)

All right fine! You’re not invited to the party we’re gonna have either.

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Rachel's statement about "the party we're gonna have" directly involves Monica in the planning or hosting of the party, making her a relevant participant in the current exchange with Joey.


Do you think I'm someone else?

Ok, I may not have treated your friends well in the past, but I have grown up a lot, really. Honest, Rach?

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, as Joey just directly addressed her with a question ("Honest, Rach?") that invites her to confirm his statement.


No, actually I thought about it when, when we were going out. It’s how I imagined I uh, I would ask you to marry me.

Well, that would’ve been very hard to say no too.

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Rachel's comment, "Well, that would’ve been very hard to say no too," is a direct and personal response to Ross's revelation about his imagined proposal, inviting him to continue the intimate exchange.


Thank you. Rachel, can I talk to you outside for a sec?

Well, then talk!

Okay, I will. Remember that thing that we just discussed that you wanted to do?

Well, Rachel wants to take swing dance lessons. Which I think is a really stupid idea! It's dangerous, she's never gonna get what she wants, and who knows who she might (Turns to look at Ross) end up hurting.

rachel did not speak next (ground truth)

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT; Monica has just finished a long statement criticizing Rachel's idea, but then turned to look at Ross, indicating she is now addressing him or inviting his reaction.


Hey, here's a thought, Ross. [reaches for the computer]

Don't touch the computer. Don't ever touch the computer.

Ross, listen. I got two words for you. Threesome.

joey addressed ross, not chandler (ground truth)

Explanation: BYSTANDER: Joey is directly addressing Ross with a new topic, making Chandler a bystander to this exchange.


Hey, y’know what, if you’re gonna do that, if you’re gonna name him Joey, you should name him Chandler. (Phoebe doesn’t think so.) Oh, come on! Chandler’s funny, sophisticated, and he’s very loveable, once you get to know him.

Oh well, hey, Joey’s loveable too! But the thing about Joey is, if you need him, he’ll be there.

Well, Chandler will be there for you too. I mean, well, he might be a little late, but-but, he’ll be there. And he’ll bring you some cold soda, if want you need him for is that you’re really hot.

What do ya say? What do ya say?

chandler did not speak next (ground truth)

Explanation: Chandler is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT; Joey's rhetorical question "What do ya say?" is directed at Phoebe to prompt a decision after both have made their cases for their names, not a direct question requiring Chandler to respond.


What do you think you’re doing?!

Just washing the windshield. (She turns on the wipers forcing Ross off of the hood.)

way I am letting you drive this car! So why don’t you just hand over the keys?

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT Rachel has just been given a direct command by Ross to hand over the keys, which is a directive that anticipates an action rather than an immediate verbal reply.


Thank you. (She walks off) C'mon, Marcel, whaddya say you and I do a little mingling? (Marcel runs off) Alright, I'll, uh... catch up with you later.

Oh my gosh! Rachel, honey.. are you okay? Where-where's Paolo?

Rome. Jerk missed his flight.

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because she directly asked Rachel about her well-being and Paolo's whereabouts, and Rachel has now provided a direct answer to Monica's question about Paolo.


I swear, I never wanted any part of your night!

Oh, is that why you did it the secret hallway where nobody ever goes?!

Uh, Rachel, I’ve been thinking. I don’t think us getting together tonight is such a good idea. I’m calling it off.

ross addressed rachel, not monica (ground truth)

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT in the broader conversation, but Ross's most recent utterance is a direct address to Rachel, initiating a private exchange between them about their plans for the night.


Well, legend has it Joey, that... she comes alive    when you're asleep.

GET THAT LEGLESS WITCH OUT OF HERE!

Well, why I told him it's haunted. Two can play at    this game. (gives Gladys to Monica)

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT; Rachel just declared her intent to continue the 'haunted' game and then physically handed Gladys to Monica, shifting the immediate conversational focus and action to Monica.


Yeah, big stuff.

Alright, here, you have to hold this. [hands Chandler a piece of paper]

chandler was addressed by phoebe and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Phoebe directly addressed Chandler, handed him an object, and gave him an instruction, requiring a response or acknowledgment from him.


Okay, you look in the kitchen, I will look in the back closet.

I can save you time ladies, I’m right here.

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because she is present with Rachel and Monica, who were actively searching, and Chandler's humorous reveal about his presence ("I’m right here") invites a reaction from all present friends.


Okay, I got it. Phoebe? All right, you pull. I'm gonna spread the legs as wide as I can. (Joey starts giggling.) Joey? Now is not the time!

(pointing) It worked! I scared ya, I knew it! Ha-ha!

(turning all the way around, and still not facing Chandler) Yeah, you are! (Starts dancing.) I scared you!

Explanation: Monica is a BYSTANDER as Joey's most recent utterance, "Yeah, you are! I scared you!", appears to be directed at Chandler, shifting the focus away from Monica's previous.


Hello! (Listens) Oh yeah! Hey! Hold on a second she's right here! (To Phoebe) It's Chandler.

Hello Phoebe, I've been thinking about you all day. (He's holding the phone so that Monica can hear it as well.)

chandler addressed phoebe, not rachel (ground truth)

Explanation: BYSTANDER: Rachel has just handed the phone to Phoebe, and Chandler's last utterance is a direct address to Phoebe, not Rachel.


They know you know.

Ugh, I knew it! Oh I cannot believe those two!

God, they thought they can mess with us! They're trying to mess with us?! They don't know that we know they know we know! (Joey just shakes his head.) Joey, you can't say anything!

phoebe addressed joey, not rachel (ground truth)

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT in the ongoing discussion, but Phoebe's final statement is a direct instruction specifically to Joey, making Rachel not the intended recipient of the immediate turn.

Yeah, I think that fifth shower actually got the interview off me.

Oh yeah, well there's the possibility that I won't make rent.

Monica, if you want, I can lend you some money.

No no no, if I couldn't pay you back right away then I'd feel guilty and tense every time I saw you.

Oh OK. Well then why don't you, uhh, why don't you borrow it from mom and dad? You feel guilty and tense around them already. You might as well make some money off of them.

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT; Ross just offered a new suggestion to her and concluded his turn with a humorous remark, which does not demand an immediate verbal response.


No, I have a great idea for a present for her.

Oh, that’s it? (Mimics Chandler) A great idea!

Explanation: Chandler is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Phoebe's sarcastic mimicry and "A great idea!" serves as a dismissive comment on his vague suggestion, which, while directed at him.


Hey, guys, you know what Larry would say? He would say, "See you ladle." (Laughs.)

Explanation: Ross is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Chandler directly addressed him with a question about what he wanted.


(yelling to Monica)They're towing your car, they're towing your car!!

I'm parked in a garage on Morton!

(sounding panicky)Oh my god Ross! You don't have Emma! And Rachel you don't have Emma! (Starts yelling) Where's Emma? Who has Emma!?

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Joey directly addressed her, asking if she had Emma and then broadly questioning who had Emma, requiring a response from her.


No. It just seems like Ross is the kind of a guy that would marry a woman on the verge of being a lesbian and then push her over the edge.

Wait a minute! Were you on a poster for gonorrhea?

Have you ever slept in the same bed as a monkey?!

Hey you leave Marcel out of this!

Fine! Have you ever got stuck in a pair of your own leather pants?!

Explanation: Ross is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, and while Joey just directed a question at him, the rapid-fire, accusatory nature of their exchange allows for a momentary pause before Ross responds.


The big book of childrens' names.

Ok, Ross, Ross, ok listen, what we have is amazing.

ross was addressed by rachel and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: Ross is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT as Rachel directly addressed him and is continuing their discussion about the book of children's names.


Oh, just like I said. That crazy... Bert... roaming the halls. (Joey    bangs on     the door again)

What's going on?

WE'LL TALK TO YOU LATER, BERT. EVERYTHNG'S FINE!!

Everything doesn't sound fine!

Explanation: Chandler is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT; Joey's statement "Everything doesn't sound fine!" is a direct observation countering Chandler's previous dismissal, setting the stage for Joey to elaborate or continue his inquiry.


Joey, that is not gonna work.

No seriously... I'm really wedged in here.

(in agony) aaw-ahhh-aaahhh STOP! STOP! I'm worried about damaging my head.

Alright, hurry up, you gotta do something.

Hey Emma. Oh, why is she wearing her hat so low? She can barely see.    (Wants to take the hat off, but Rachel tries to stop him).

Nah, I don't really want her to see.

Come here (Removes Emma's hat) Oh! There she is! Hi!

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Ross has just completed the action of removing Emma's hat and is now directly addressing Emma, shifting the focus away from his previous exchange with Rachel.


Or! I should rush through dinner with Joey and I can meet David at 900!

Oh! (Pulls up his pants.) Sorry. Uh, I’ve got those plans with Phoebe, why?

phoebe did not speak next (ground truth)

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Joey's statement about having plans with her is an explanation to an unstated third party, not a direct prompt for Phoebe to speak further.


Um, well, I was going to, I-I-I really was. But um, then somewhere, just out of nowhere, I didn’t.

Why haven’t you told them?! Wouldn’t they be happy?!

(trying to change subjects, excitedly) So! Dinner in the kitchen around four! I’ll see you then. (Pats Chandler on the shoulder and goes into the living room.)

Why wouldn’t they be happy?

Well, um, because mainly, um, they don’t like you. I’m sorry.

Maybe because you used to be aloof, or that you’re really sarcastic, or that, y’know, you joke around all the time. Or that you take off your clothes and throw them on the couch.

monica did not speak next (ground truth)

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Monica is an active participant as Chandler directly challenges her previous statements about her parents' dislike for him, and the emotionally charged nature of his question, "Is this why they don’t like me or why you don’t like me?", prompts a moment of silence.


Whoa, hey! What are doing? Trying to get me drunk?

I’m just making margaritas.

I think I’ll help her out. (She gets up to go over and help Rachel, and reveals she has no pants.) (to Rachel) What is going on here?

monica addressed rachel, not ross (ground truth)

Explanation: Ross is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Monica's direct question "What is going on here?" is addressed solely to Rachel, making it Rachel's turn to respond.


Yeah. Y’know umm, uh, umm, about that, umm, Ross I really appreciate your offer to let me move in and everything, but don’t you think it’s gonna be weird?

Wh-why?! Why-why-why would it, why would it be weird?

Well, because of us! Because of our history.

No! No! It would be weird if we were still in that place, I mean are you still in that place?

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Rachel should speak because Ross directly asked her if she is "still in that place" regarding their past relationship, continuing their private exchange about moving in together.

Look, this is my home and I want to be able to come and go whenever I want!

Okay, I will find someplace else to do the rest of my appointments. I just don’t know what the big deal is!

He just said, "No strippers."

Oh, I chose not to hear that.

Hey Gunther, let me get a lemonade to go.

Lemonade? You ok man?

Ah, it's career stuff. I don't know if you heard but they killed off my character on the show.

Oh, that's too bad. How'd they do it?

I fell down an elevator shaft.

gunther did not speak next (ground truth)

Explanation: Gunther is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Joey has just directly answered Gunther's question about how his character was killed off, completing the information exchange.


No, I'm sorry.

I don't know what to do. What am I gonna do? I mean, this, this is like acomplete nightmare.

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Ross's "What am I gonna do?" is a rhetorical question expressing his personal distress about his situation with Rachel and Julie, not a direct query inviting Monica to respond.


Staying out of the way.

This is impossible Monica, why don’t you just pick all 15? (Hands back the paper.)

monica was addressed by joey and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Joey directly addressed Monica with a question and handed her a paper, clearly indicating he expects her to respond.

Hey Joey, what ‘cha doing?

Sweepin’. Why? Turn you on?

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Rachel initiated the exchange with Joey, who just responded with a rhetorical and flirtatious question that doesn't necessarily require a direct verbal answer from Rachel.


How did we do?

Oh, I tasted Ben's milk, and Ross freaked out.

I did not freak out.

Explanation: Carol is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT; however, Ross's statement "I did not freak out" is a direct correction to Phoebe's preceding claim, making the immediate turn a direct exchange between Ross and Phoebe.


Hey! Joey, would you mind giving me and Ross a hand moving his couch?

Oh, I'd love too, but I got acting class. But y'know what? I guess I can blow that off, (In a sexy voice) for you.

Look now, Phoebe remember, hey, their just fulfilling their Christmas....

Okay. (One of Joey’s co-workers, walks by with a dead tree.) Yikes! That one doesn’t look very fulfilled.

Explanation: Joey is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because he was in the middle of explaining that the trees were "fulfilling their Christmas" when Phoebe directly responded to his unfinished thought with a humorous counterpoint about an unfulfilled tree.


Yeah, which was nice.

You guys wanna try and catch a late movie or something?

Maybe, but shouldn't we wait for Chandler?

rachel addressed chandler, not phoebe (ground truth)

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Rachel's question "shouldn't we wait for Chandler?" is a direct response to Phoebe's movie suggestion, but it's a point for group consideration rather than a direct question requiring an immediate answer solely from Phoebe.


Okay Ross that’s fine, but can you please stand near my head?

What? Oh yeah. (He moves next to her head.) I’m sorry. I mean I-I think I went a little crazy. I mean I was thinking about myself when I (Wanders towards Rachel’s feet) really—I should have been thinking about you Rach…

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Ross is directly apologizing to her and reflecting on his actions, explicitly addressing her as "Rach" and inviting her response.


Oh, Joey, I have such a problem!

Oh well, you're timing couldn't be better. I am putting out fires all over the place.

to tell you something!

What-what is it, what is it?

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because she initiated the conversation by stating she had a problem and wanted to tell Joey something, and Joey then directly prompted her to elaborate by asking "What-what is it, what is it?".


I was really upset about Rachel and Paolo, and I think I had too much tequila, and Nora- um, Mrs. Mom- your Bing- was just being nice, y'know, and- But nothing happened, nothing- Ask Joey, Joey, uh, came in-

Uh... y'know, knowledge is a tricky thing.

Hey, hey, hey, you're lucky I caught them when I did, or else who knows what woulda happened.

Thanks, man, big help.

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Ross's sarcastic "Thanks, man, big help" serves as a concluding remark to Joey's unhelpful interjection, not an invitation for further elaboration.


Wow, a Swedish massage from a real Swedish person. (Puts her    head in the hole and Phoebe enters)

Okay, then I'm Swedish...

It's a normal Swedish name... Ikea...

Oh... what an interesting name.

You know I... (lifts her head and tries to look in Phoebe's    direction)

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT as she established a Swedish persona that Rachel engaged with, and Rachel's incomplete utterance, directed at Phoebe, prompts her to continue the interaction.


Of course I am. I reject anyone who's crazy enough to actually go out withme, and then I bitch about the fact that there aren't any great women out there.

Chandler, you have just described virtually every man that we have ever goneout with.

chandler was addressed by rachel and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, Chandler should speak because Rachel directly addressed him by name and offered a direct commentary on his previous self-description, inviting his further response.


If you wanna call that a reason.

[singing to the tune of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood] Who's thebitterest man in the living room, the bitterest man in the living room? Hi, neighbor.

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT; Chandler's humorous song, while directed at Ross, is a general group observation that invites further commentary or teasing from other friends present.


No, no, no, no, no, NO! No, no... we're not together.    We're not a couple. We're definately not a couple.

Well, you seem pretty insulted by that. What? I'm not    good enough for you?

We're not gonna have this conversation again...    Look at this place. Why am I so intimidated by this guy? Pretentious art, this    huge macho couch. When we know all he does is sit around all day crying about    losing Monica to a real man! (laughs) You don't think he's here, do you? (Joey    looks around)

You know what it is? It's a nice place but I gotta see    I don't know if I see myself living here. Oh, oh, oh, let me see... (Joey sits    down on the couch, mimes opening a can and puts his hand down his pants) Yeah,    I could see it.

(Chandler looks around the place and his eye gets    caught by Richard's video collection) Look at these videos. You know, I mean,    who does he think he is? Magnum Force, Dirty Harry, Cool Hand Luke... Oh my    God!

There's a tape here with Monica's name on it.

Ooh! A tape with a girls name on it. It's probably a    sex tape... (realises) Wait a minute... This says Monica... (looks around) And    this is Richard's apartment... (realises some more)

Get there faster! (Joey gasps and finally understands...)

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Joey is an active participant, as Chandler's urgent "Get there faster!" is directed at him to prompt his understanding, and Joey's non-verbal gasp serves as his immediate acknowledgment of the shocking realization, leaving the floor open for Chandler's next reaction.


That's what I said! Thank you for being so nice. (They hug.)

Okay, let's go!

Atlantic City, baby! Let's roll some bones! Hey Joey, high-five for rolling bones!

Uh, Pheebs, you're leaking?

All right. Well, don't worry, I call shotgun! (She starts out the door.)

Explanation: BYSTANDER; Phoebe's last utterance "All right. Well, don't worry, I call shotgun!" is a general declaration to the group as she starts to leave, not a direct response or address to Joey's previous question about her "leaking.".


(With Big Eyes.) All right, you’re right. I’ll talk to her.

Yes talk to her. Be a man.

Chandler come on. We have to hem the new dust ruffle.

monica addressed chandler, not joey (ground truth)

Explanation: Joey is a BYSTANDER because Monica just addressed Chandler directly about a domestic task that does not involve Joey.


And yet, here we are doing it again.

Ugh, Monica I don’t want to steal your stupid thunder!

Oh please! Why else would you have made out with Ross?!

All right, easy mimey, the moment has passed, it ain’t gonna happen!

I just thought it would be nice if I could have just this one night!

I swear, I never wanted any part of your night!

Oh, is that why you did it the secret hallway where nobody ever goes?!

rachel did not speak next (ground truth)

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT; Monica just delivered a pointed, rhetorical accusation directly challenging Rachel's previous denial, which leaves Rachel without an immediate verbal response.


Oh, no-no-no-no-no-no, that's OK, I don't need them. I'm going for fours.

Alright, here we go. We've got salmon roulettes and assorted crudites.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, Monica, what're you doin'? This is a poker game. You can't serve food with more than one syllable. It's gotta be like chips, or dip, or pretz...(look of realization)

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Joey directly addressed her and questioned her choice of food, creating an expectation for her to respond to his criticism.


Oh. Why not?

‘Cause I know he’s gonna flip out and I hate it when he’s angry.

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT as Rachel is directly responding to her question, providing a complete explanation for her previous statement.


Oh, hi! I would check your hand but... I'm sure you don't want to get my chicken disease!

Hey, Rachel, Can-can I see you for a sec?

What? Yes, I am!

Ok, then, why are you... (she opens her robe revealing a nice black dress) all dressed up??

When you're sick, you do whatever you can to make yourself feel better! (she closes her robe)

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, and Rachel's last utterance directly answers Monica's question about why she is dressed up, providing a complete explanation for the moment.


This is not good for my rage. (Takes another pill.)

Monica, is this true?

rachel addressed monica, not ross (ground truth)

Explanation: Ross is a BYSTANDER as Rachel's question "Monica, is this true?" is a direct address to Monica, making Monica the expected next speaker.


Yeah well, once again not knocking pays off. I only wish you hadn’t been on the toilet.

Hey! So Chandler, wanna go to the coffeehouse?

Oh all right.

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, as Chandler just directly responded to her invitation to go to the coffeehouse with a complete acceptance, concluding that specific exchange.


No, you sh—No you said you made that up!!

I know, but don’t you think the sick thing is way better than the play thing?

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Joey directly responded to Chandler's previous statement and posed a question to him, inviting Chandler to continue the exchange.


Joey, what did you think a nubbin was?

I don't know, you see somethin', you hear a word, I thought that's what it was. Let me see it again.

You were in a porno?

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Ross just asked Joey a direct and surprising question about being in a porno, which might cause Joey to pause in shock or disbelief before formulating a response.


Fine. Fine, but I want the record to show that I tried to take the high road, because in about five minutes I’m gonna be saying…(He laughs and points at Rachel sarcastically.)

Okay, here we go. (Pushes play.)

(on tape) Hello! Can I get you anything?

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, as Ross just made a sarcastic remark directly to her, and she responded by playing the tape, making it her turn to react to the tape's content.


Sure. By the way, there's a difference between being obsessive and. . .

Ross, the heat!

Fine, OK! Heat, heat, heat, and I'm the obsessive one. [goes to the radiator and starts turning the knob] OK, this way is on, so this is. . . [breaks off the knob] off.

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Ross's final statement "off." is an observation about the broken radiator knob, not an address or a question directed at her, leaving no explicit conversational slot for her to fill.


You're right, I'm sorry. Will you marry me?

Aw, and I was gonna ask you to marry me because I forgot to say hello to you last week.

chandler did not speak next (ground truth)

Explanation: Chandler is a BYSTANDER as Phoebe's humorous interjection about marriage is a comment on Ross's previous statement, not an address to Chandler.


gonna break up with you!

Fine! Fine! But this break-up was not all my fault, and she, she says here, (reading from the letter) “If you accept full responsibility...” (to Chandler and Joey) Full responsibility! “...I can begin to trust you again. Does that seem like something you can do. (yells at Joey) Does it?!!”

Look, Ross, you have what you want, you’re back with Rachel. If you bring this up now you’re gonna wreck the best thing that even happened to you.

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Chandler directly addressed Ross, offering a warning about his relationship with Rachel, which is the central topic Ross has been actively discussing.


Yeah! Do that!

And-and you won’t blame us for any damage? (Gives Phoebe a thumbs up.)

Oh hey hi, he’s doing it. He’s breaking down the door. (The chair breaks in half.) Okay, we’re in. (She hangs up the phone.)

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Joey is an active participant, but Phoebe's concluding statement "Okay, we're in" and hanging up the phone signifies the completion of the immediate action and does not directly prompt a response from him.


The thing is y'know, that you're married to Emily.

Ross, things aren't gonna be weird between us, right? I mean was that just the stupidest thing, me telling you that?

No. No. No, I'm-I'm glad you did. Look, if nothing else, it's-it's always great when someone tells you they love you.

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, and Ross just directly responded to her vulnerable question about their feelings, inviting a further response or clarification from her.


Okay Joey, first of all Kash Ford is not people. Second of all, what did he say when you told him I was pregnant?

I didn’t tell him. I didn’t know if you were telling people. This is back when I thought Kash was still people.

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Rachel should speak because Joey just responded to her direct question about telling Kash Ford she was pregnant, requiring her to react to his unexpected answer.


I'm sorry, it's the pigs. they're reluctant to get in the blankets!

Monica, how did this happen? I thought you had this all planned out.

monica was addressed by phoebe and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Phoebe directly addressed her with a question about how the food situation went wrong, expecting an explanation.


Everything? Even the TV?

No! I’m putting that in my room.

Listen, Joey, I know what he did was wrong but don’t you think you could at least hear the guy out?

joey was addressed by ross and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Ross directly addressed Joey and asked him a question about hearing someone out, requiring Joey to respond.


Ross, I didn't think it would that big of a deal.

Look, that was supposed to be like a private, personal thing between us.

Okay, Ross, Phoebe is my girlfriend, okay, we tell each other everything. You know, I mean, come on, guys do the same thing, I mean, what about all that locker room stuff.

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, Ross should speak because Rachel directly addressed him and continued to make her case, inviting a response to her points about sharing private information.


You never cooked since 1996. (Actually Rachel cooked in 609 -  TOW Ross Got High, first aired 1999-11-25.)

Is the window open? Because if theres a window open, a bird  could fly in there.

Oh my god, you know what, yeah, I think youre right. I think   listen, listen!

A pigeon, a pigeon. (previously scared Rachel turns away) No, no  wait, no-no, an eagle flew in. Landed on the stove and caught fire. The baby,  seeing this, jumps across the apartment to the mighty birds aid. The eagle,  however, misconstrues as an act of aggression and grabs the baby on its talon.  Meanwhile the faucet fills the apartment with water. Baby and bird still up lays  (?) are locked in a death grip, swirling around the whirl pool, that fills the  apartment.

Boy, are you gonna be sorry if thats true.

Explanation: Ross is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Rachel's concluding remark "Boy, are you gonna be sorry if thats true" serves as a final, skeptical comment on his fantastical story, not an invitation for him to continue elaborating.


Well, I'm crazy about her now. I think this could be the real thing. Capital 'R'! Capital 'T'! (Joey stares at him) Don't worry, those are the right letters.

Look, what do you want me to say?

I want you to say that you like her!

I can't. It's like this chemical thing, you know. Every time she starts laughing, I just wanna (grimaces and tenses up) pull my arm off just so that I can have something to throw at her.

Thanks for trying. (grabs the ticket and starts to leave) Oh, and by the way there is no Count Rushmore!

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Chandler's "Thanks for trying" directly addresses Joey and concludes their discussion, and his subsequent statement about "Count Rushmore" is a final, unrelated remark made as he is leaving, not an invitation for Joey to speak further.


Phoebe, are you, are you mad at me, or something? 'Cause if are please, tell me what it is I did!

Well, if you don't know I can't help you.

Well, whatever it is I'm-I'm very, very sorry. Okay?

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Ross has just offered a general apology to Phoebe, concluding his attempt to resolve the conflict without further prompting from her.


(stopping him) Hey, whoa-whoa! What's she like?

Uhh, well, she's…really good in bed.

Explanation: Chandler is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because he just asked Joey a direct question, and Joey has now provided a direct answer to Chandler's inquiry, completing the turn.


Yeah, but, hey look, don’t go through her stuff. She gets really mad.(Chandler gives him a look and walks to the door of his old room.)

(The room is filled with flowers and a floral print sheet on the bed.) Oh my God. What is th… it’s like a guy never lived in here. Look, you’ve got to be careful. This girl thing is dangerous. (Looking around the living room.) It’s spreading already.

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Chandler is making a general observation about the apartment's decor and the "girl thing" spreading, rather than directly addressing Joey or prompting a response from him.


Phoebe, oh my God! Wh-wh-what are you doing here?

I need to talk to you, it’s pretty urgent. It’s about Monica and Chandler.

Oh my God! Of course, of course. (To the class.) Umm, would you please excuse me for a moment? Umm, do you know each other’s hometowns? Why don’t you… (Motions that they should learn everyone’s hometown.) (To Phoebe) Wh-what’s going on?

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Ross has just directly asked Phoebe "Wh-what's going on?", inviting her to elaborate on the urgent matter she brought up about Monica and Chandler.


How do you feel about all this?

I wish there was an easier way for us to have a child but I don't think there is one.

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Ross is an active participant, but Chandler's statement is a personal reflection on the difficulty of their situation, not a direct question or prompt for Ross to immediately respond.


No, I gotta wear this thing for a couple weeks. (points to the sling he is wearing)

Did you tell the doctor you did it jumping up and down on your bed?

Nooo. I had a story all worked out but then Chandler sold me out.

joey addressed chandler, not rachel (ground truth)

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Joey's last utterance completed his explanation regarding her previous question without posing a new one or directly addressing her for a further response.


I'm sorry, my pie was, was in your hood. Now I just have to get the coffee out of that guy's pants and I'll be back in the hospital by 7. [swats at an imaginary insect by his head, guy leaves promptly]

Damnit Ross, get your butt out of the bathroom.

Calm down, I'm blow drying.

Blow drying what, you have no hair.

Your boyfriend has been in there for over an hour. I can't believe it, it's like I'm living with him again. He's here when I go to sleep, he's here when I wake up, he's here when I want to use the shower, ughh. It's like I'm sixteen all over again .

Explanation: Ross is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Monica's most recent utterance is a vent directed to him about "Your boyfriend," expressing her frustration rather than soliciting a direct response or action from Ross.


Yeah! That was so weird, huh?

Phoebe, why’d you do it?

phoebe was addressed by ross and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Ross directly addressed Phoebe with a question, prompting her to provide an explanation.


No! The guy is mean. I mean really mean. I think you should stay away from him.

, maybe, I should stay away from all men.

No, it’s not just ‘cause I’m jealous. (Both Monica and Chandler give him a ‘Come on’ look) I mean I’m not, I’m not, I’m not jealous, okay? It’s… Look, the guy, he screamed, he actually screamed at this couple sitting in our seats.

ross addressed chandler, not rachel (ground truth)

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Ross is currently defending his stance and elaborating on his reasons for disliking the guy, not directly soliciting a response from Rachel, allowing him to finish his explanation.


No it’s umm, more like a wrap. Okay so uh, I’m gonna go guys.

I guess you can get back to deciding on what to get me for a present! (Runs out.)

(To Phoebe, after Monica’s gone) We have to get her a present?!

Okay but look! Look at what I got! It’s her address book! (Holds it up.) We have a guest list!

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because she initiated the current discussion about getting Monica a present, and Phoebe's subsequent discovery of the address book is a direct response to their shared task, inviting Rachel's reaction.


Give it to me!

I'll go in there.

Explanation: BYSTANDER; Monica is making a statement about her own action and is not addressing Phoebe, making Phoebe a bystander to Monica's self-directed or other-directed statement.


I don't know you guys.

All right fine, don't do anything, just sit here and talk to us, meanwhile she is talking to him about you. And he's being Mr. Joe Sensitive, and she starts thinking 'Maybe this is the guy for me, because he understands me.'

And before you know it, she's with him. And you'll be all, 'Ohh, man!' And he'll be all, 'Yes!' And us, we'll be like, 'Wh-whoa, dude.' And pretty soon you'll be like, (sadly) 'Hhiii,' and, and, and, 'I can't go, Rachel and Mark might be there.' And we'll be like, 'Man get over it, it's been four years!!'

mark was addressed by joey and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, as Joey's dramatic monologue directly names "Rachel and Mark" as a couple in the hypothetical future, making Mark a central figure in the ongoing discussion about Ross's romantic situation.


Are you serious?! I mean like eloping?! No more stupid wedding stuff?! No more these flowers or these flowers or these flowers—Think of the money we’ll save!! (Monica just looks at him.) We’re not eloping. I love the flowers. Can our wedding be bigger please?

We’re going to Las Vegas to see your dad. It’s time you two talked, and I want to get to know my father-in-law.

Y’know we already went over this and I won!

No you didn’t. Oh and honey just so you know, now that you’re marrying me, you don’t get to win anymore.

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Chandler should speak because Monica directly contradicted his claim of winning and then made a personal statement about their future relationship dynamic, which invites his immediate reaction.


Okay. (Writes a little more) I am so hot!

(To Ross, on the couch) Now, here's a picture of my mother and father on their wedding day. Now you tell me she's not a knockout.

joey addressed ross, not rachel (ground truth)

Explanation: Rachel is a BYSTANDER as Joey is directly addressing Ross and showing him a picture, making it a private exchange that does not involve her.


(entering) What's going on?

Nothing! Oh God, we're just so excited that you want to get this apartment!

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Ross should speak because Rachel directly responded to his question "What's going on?" by expressing excitement about him getting the apartment, which invites his reaction.


Hey, Joey! Hey! Ooh! Ooh! I just say someone on the—that looks just like you on the subway. And I was gonna go over and say ‘hi!’ but then I figured, he doesn’t care if he looks like you.

That just cost me four bucks. But uh listen, I just called to see how the chick and the duck are doing?

time with their Aunt Phoebe! Aunt Rachel hasn’t been helpful at all. So, do you miss me?

Kinda, but I’ve just been having way too much fun.

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Joey just directly answered her question, "So, do you miss me?", creating a clear turn for her to respond to his statement.


Well, you know what? This is great. Finally, I have someone I can pass on my wisdom too. Let me tell you about a couple of things I learned while working at the coffeehouse. First of all, the customer is always right. (Joey nods.) A smile goes a long way. (Joey smiles) And if anyone is ever rude to you? Sneeze muffin.

Thanks, Rach. Look, you guys are just terrific. Y’know? Now, how about clearing out of here so I can get some new customers. It’s all about turnover.

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Rachel is an active participant, but Joey's final statement is a concluding remark and a request for "you guys" to clear out, which does not invite further dialogue from her.


Why would a charity give away a free boat?!

Well, just buy the damn boat! (She’s still working her way through her tray of booze.)

Phoebe, don’t you think you’ve had enough to drink?

I’m just helping the kids!

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Rachel should speak because she directly questioned Phoebe's drinking, and Phoebe's last utterance was a direct, defensive response to Rachel's concern.


I have to tell you this story. Okay, I was coming over here and this driver…

(interrupting) Was his name Angus? (Monica and Chandler laugh.)

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, Monica just laughed in response to Joey's humorous interruption, indicating her engagement and making it natural for her to contribute verbally to the shared amusement.


That's Great. You know we don't need to talk about this now. Really, I mean this is, is so way, way, way, in the future, I'm talkin' hovercrafts and apes taking over the planet.

Come on, Chandler, I want this part soo much. (Chandler ignores him) Just one kiss, I won't tell anyone.

Joey, no means no!

I'm sorry we, we don't have your sheep.

Aww, Rach, I think you look cute (kisses her on the cheek, then looks at Ross) And you, uh, you, you I could eat with a spoon (goes to kiss him).

Explanation: BYSTANDER, Joey has completely shifted his attention from Chandler to Rachel and Ross, complimenting them and attempting to kiss Ross, indicating a new exchange that does not involve Chandler.


Oh my God! How long has she been crying?

About a week and a half.

Well alright, looks like you guys have got it under control so I’m just gonna go. (She gets up and Rachel looks at her, upset, and Monica just stares.) No! Really? Misery really does love company. All right! (She sits back down.)

You guys, I’m doing the best I can, anyone else is welcome to try.

Here you go. (Hands Emma to Phoebe)

Shh! Nothing works with this child! (Hands her back.)

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, Rachel should speak because Phoebe is handing the baby back to her after failing to soothe her, creating a direct exchange that expects Rachel to acknowledge the situation.


I know, right? (Chandler has really big eyes, and nods)    Wh... Wh... Why are we doing this?

Monica says that her Maitre D. is the funniest guy    she's ever met.

Seriously? She actually said that?

Yes! Am I crazy to be this upset?

Without that, you just got "lame with women".

Explanation: Chandler is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, as Joey's last utterance was a direct response to Chandler's previous question, providing a concluding humorous observation to the immediate exchange.


All right, ready?

Okay, I don't think we can turn anymore!

Ross, I don't, I just don't think it's going to fit.

rachel addressed ross, not chandler (ground truth)

Explanation: Chandler is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Rachel just addressed Ross directly with her concern about the furniture, making it Ross's turn to respond to her.


This is a girl that I really like and had too swoop in there!

What's goin' on?

Chandler was totally flirting with the hot delivery girl!

Thank you for that! (To Monica) I was not flirting.

(starts to laugh, but then gets serious) So umm, you-you flirt with guys all the time?

monica did not speak next (ground truth)

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Chandler's most recent question, "So umm, you-you flirt with guys all the time?", is directed at Ross, not Monica, given the gender reference and the preceding accusation.


Wow! Oh well, I will be there!

Gosh. I’m not gonna let that man make you eat your baby. (They both sit down by the rest of the gang and Phoebe recognizes a man by the window.) Oh. Hey! Who is that guy? I think I know him.

Oh my God!!! Monica!! He’s the stripper from your bachelorette party!!

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Phoebe directly addresses Monica with an exclamation and a surprising revelation about a man from her past, prompting Monica to respond to the information.


But I thought you wanted to live by yourself.

I did. I thought it'd be great. I figured I'd have like, time alone with my thoughts but, ya know, it turns out I don't have as many thoughts as you'd think.

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Joey is still elaborating on his thoughts about living alone, directly responding to her previous statement, indicating he is not yet finished with his turn.


I mean, you’re the one they’re gonna come to when they wanna run away from home, and the one they talk to about sex.

And you just get to be cool Aunt Phoebe!

Cool Aunt Phoebe. I am pretty cool!

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Phoebe's last utterance was a self-affirmation in response to Rachel's comment about her coolness, not an address to Monica.


No! Phoebe, it’s not Gunther.

Thank God, ‘cause that hair on a baby…

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because she just addressed Phoebe, and Phoebe's humorous comment about Gunther's hair directly follows Rachel's denial, inviting Rachel to continue the discussion about the baby's father.


If you want, I'll do it.

I know, I just want to bite his bottom lip. (Rachel looks at her) But I won't.

God, the first time he smiled at me... those three seconds were more exciting than three weeks in Bermuda with Barry.

Explanation: BYSTANDER. Rachel's personal reflection about "him" is not directed at Monica, and the conversation has shifted away from Monica's earlier offer.


Oh-ho, it'll be back. Oh-ho, there's nobody in the room.

Look, I'm sorry, I thought it looked pretty.

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Rachel should speak because Ross just offered an apology for something he thought looked pretty, which invites a response or further comment from the active participants in the conversation.


Of course he will! But Chandler the most important thing is you forgive yourself!

You didn’t see how mad he was, y’know?

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, Rachel should speak because Chandler's last utterance directly responds to her previous advice, continuing their personal exchange.


See? Ben doesn't think you're a loser, he thinks you're a cowboy! Now that's something.

That really is something; that's really cool.

Maybe I should get another pair! Ooh, y'know, they-they had some with fringe all down the sides. (Chandler starts rubbing his temple again.) I'm gonna go kiss Ben goodnight. (He starts to head for Monica's bedroom.) I can't believe he thinks I'm a cowboy. (Pause.) I would make a good cowboy. (He struts into Monica's room.)

ross addressed chandler, not monica (ground truth)

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Ross is engaging in a self-directed monologue as he exits the room, making his final comments about being a cowboy not an address to Monica or anyone else.


Then why-why is she going to a play?!

Uh, y’know, starve a fever, go to a play for a cold.

Joey! Why is Janine not coming over for dinner?!

monica addressed joey, not chandler (ground truth)

Explanation: BYSTANDER. Monica has just directly addressed Joey with a new question about Janine's absence, shifting the focus of the conversation to him.


Then, I don't get it.

Well, you know what Chandler? I think you've gotta face it. You're like, the guy in the big office, you know. You're the one that hires them, that fires them... They still say you're a great boss.

chandler was addressed by phoebe and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: Chandler is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Phoebe directly addressed him by name and offered him advice about his situation, inviting his response.


Nodded off!! Ross you were snoring. My father’s boat didn’t make that much noise when it hit rocks!

Come on! Forty-five minutes! Forty-five minutes the man talked about strappy backed dresses.

Well okay, how about four hours in a freezing museum auditorium listening to Professor Pitstains and he’s ‘Hey everybody! Remember that thing that’s been dead for a gazillion years. Well there’s this little bone we didn’t know it had!’

Explanation: Ross is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, as Rachel's last utterance directly continues their playful argument about boring experiences, presenting a counter-example that invites Ross's response.


Carol, what's the matter? What happened?

My parents called this afternoon to say they weren't coming.

Oh my god.

I mean, I knew they were having trouble with this whole thing, but they're myparents. They're supposed to give me away and everything.

It's ok. I'm sorry.

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Ross is offering comfort and sympathy to Carol after she expressed her feelings, concluding the immediate exchange about her parents' absence.


(entering, excitedly) Oh! Hi you guys, oh my God! You’ll never gonna believe happened to me today! I am sitting in my office and…

(entering from bathrooms excitedly) You guys! You guys! You’re not gonna believe what my agent just told me!

Joey! Kinda in the middle of a story here!

Ooh, sorry. Sorry. You finish, go.

Okay, so anyway I’m sittin’ in my office and guess who walks in.

Explanation: Joey is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, and Rachel's open-ended question "guess who walks in" directly invites a response or a guess from the listeners, including Joey.


Yeah, see... you were all worried for nothing.

It's football... It's just football... This is great!    This is the first time I've ever enjoyed football... It may be customary to    get a beer... (Chandler walks to the fridge, his back turned to the TV and a    moaning sound replaces the cheering of the crowd... Joey's eyes double in size...)    What the... (Chandler turns around, but Joey already took a sprint for Chandler,    jumps, and floors Chandler in the open space in front of the apartment door...)    What are you doing?

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, Joey should speak because Chandler directly asked him "What are you doing?" immediately after Joey tackled him, demanding an explanation for his sudden action.


What? What?! You were begging me to kiss you! You-you-you were sending me signals all over the place!

was sending you signals?

Oh please. Okay, anyone in this room think that I would send Ross begging symbols, please show of hands. (Ross raises his hand and no one else.)

Y’know what?! It doesn’t matter! It doesn’t matter what you believe! What matters is what happened!

Okay. So these signals Ross, explain this to me, ‘cause maybe I need to be more careful. I mean, am I sending you these signals right now?

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Although Rachel directly challenges Ross to explain the signals and asks if she's sending them now, her questions are rhetorical, designed to highlight the absurdity of his claims rather than.


Joey, this is sick, it's disgusting, it's, it's—not really true, is it?

Well, who's to say what's true? I mean...

Oh my god, what were you thinking?

All right, look, I'm not proud of this, ok? Well, maybe I am a little.

(leaving) I'm outta here.

Wait, wait, wait. You want him, I want her. He likes you.

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT; Joey's last utterance is a new, complex proposition delivered as Monica was physically leaving, which she might pause to process before responding.


No, you're right. Well, we'll find something. Let's just get you out of that. Come on.

No, no, no, no, no, no, not out of that, not out of clothes.

Monica, can Phoebe borrow your green dress?

I called him.

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Monica's utterance "I called him" is not a direct response to Rachel's question about borrowing a dress, introducing new information that Rachel should allow to unfold.


Well, then, you'll just have to eat the other lamps.

Uh-oh. It's Scary Scientist Man.

Ok, Phoebe, this is it. In this briefcase I carry actual scientific facts. Abriefcase of facts, if you will. Some of these fossils are over 200 million years old.

ross addressed phoebe, not rachel (ground truth)

Explanation: BYSTANDER; Ross is directly addressing Phoebe and presenting his scientific facts to her, making the current exchange a two-person interaction that does not involve Rachel.
