No! I’m not! I-I-I just think it’s wrong! It’s-it’s that I’m—Here I am about to pop and he’s out picking up some shop girl at Sluts ‘R’ Us!

Is that a real place? (Rachel’s stunned) Are they hiring?

(entering) Hey Phoebe! (To Rachel) Fatty!

chandler addressed phoebe, not rachel (ground truth)

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Although Chandler just addressed Rachel directly with a teasing remark, his "Fatty!" comment is a lighthearted jab that doesn't demand an immediate verbal response.


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.

Well neither do I!

Is this about Mark?

(shocked) Oh my God.

Explanation: Ross is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT. Rachel's "Oh my God" is a shocked exclamation in response to Ross's direct question about Mark, indicating she is processing the accusation rather than expecting an immediate verbal reply.


I mean think about all the money that you’re gonna make!

Well, her father pays you for baby-sitting right?

No, no, that’s funny. But maybe it’s time to move on, let it go, y’know? Stop it! Besides, Rachel is going out with Elizabeth’s father, so ah, he’s much older than she is. Looks like I’m not the only one interested in fossils, huh?

ross addressed rachel, not monica (ground truth)

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Ross's most recent utterance shifts the topic to Rachel's dating life and concludes with a general joke that does not directly address Monica or require her immediate response.


Yeah, why would it be weird? Hey, Joey, can I get some coffee?

Okay, I guess it doesn’t seem that weird.

Seriously, I-I asked you before and you still haven’t gotten it.

Explanation: Joey is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Ross directly addressed him with a request for coffee and then immediately followed up, expecting Joey to fulfill or acknowledge the unfulfilled request.


Oh Monica, we are so sorry.

You al-you already had it?

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, as Monica's question "You already had it?" directly follows Rachel's apology and seeks clarification on the situation Rachel is referencing.


(popping back up) Regular or decaf?

So ask me what I did today.

So what did you do today Pete?

I bought a restaurant and I would like you to be the head chef.

Can you believe he just offered me a restaurant?

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT; Monica's last utterance is a rhetorical exclamation directed to herself or an implied third party, expressing her shock about Pete's offer rather than a direct question requiring his immediate response.


Is that why you wanted to tie my tie?

There’s this kid in my class who said he’s in love with me.

Explanation: Joey is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, and Ross's surprising personal revelation about a student being in love with him creates an open conversational space that invites a reaction or comment from other engaged participants.


No, come on Ross! (He grabs his bag so he can’t leave) Look, Ross, we have to get past this.

Give me the bag.

No, look, I don’t know what else to do. I said I’m sorry!

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Joey is directly addressing Ross with a continued apology and an expression of not knowing what else to do, indicating he is still actively trying to resolve the conflict and is not yielding the floor.


And this from the cry-for-help department. Are you wearing makeup?

Yes, I am. As of today, I am officially Joey Tribbiani, actor slash model.

That's so funny, 'cause I was thinking you look more like Joey Tribbiani, man slash woman.

joey was addressed by chandler and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Chandler's last utterance is a direct, humorous jab at Joey's self-description, inviting Joey to react or retort to the joke.


Chandler, Heckles was a nut case.

Our trains are on the same track, ok? Yeah, sure, I'm coming up 30 yearsbehind him, but the stops are all the same. Bitter Town. Aloneville. Hermit Junction.

All right, you know what we gotta do? We gotta get you outta here. Come on, I'llbuy you breakfast, let's go.

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Chandler is an active participant, as Joey just made a direct suggestion and invitation to him, requiring a response.


Pheebs, what are you doing?

Okay, I wanna be sexy again so I'm trying to catch a cold. It should be easy, supposedly they're pretty common.

Explanation: Ross is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Phoebe's most recent utterance fully answers his previous question and does not pose a new question or direct the conversation back to him for an immediate response.


Hey, that monkey's got a Ross on its ass!

Yeah. I mean, it's been kinda quiet since Carol left, so...

chandler did not speak next (ground truth)

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Ross is elaborating on his personal feelings about his life being quiet since Carol left, which is not a direct prompt or question for Chandler to respond to immediately.


I know her! I bought homemade soap from her at a Dead show!

Okay, how about, for a guy, Thatcher?

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Ross just proposed a baby name for their child, directly inviting her response and input on the suggestion.


(answering the phone) Hello? (Listens) Hey Joey!

Hey Pheebs! Listen, uh can you do me a favor? I forgot the pin number to my ATM card can, can you get it for me?

Sure! Where is it?

Uh, I scratched it on the ATM machine down on the corner.

Ohh! So you're 5639?!

That's it! Thanks Pheebs!

phoebe did not speak next (ground truth)

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT; Joey just confirmed the pin number and thanked her, concluding the immediate information exchange for his request.


Well, she and I said from the beginning that we weren't gonna do   anything unless you were okay with it. And clearly..

Hey, what are you talking about? I'm fine!

It's okay, Ross, alright? I totally understand. Of course you're   not fine. You're.. You're Ross and Rachel.

Except we're not. I mean, we haven't been a couple in like, six   years. Oh my god, is that right? Has it been that long?

That's what I hear, yeah.

Explanation: Ross is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, and Joey's "That's what I hear, yeah" is a direct, confirming response to Ross's rhetorical question about the time passed, which does not require an immediate follow-up from Ross.


(entering, to Joey and Rachel) Hey, did you guys know, that your oven doesn't work?

But the drawer full of take-out menus is okay, right?

monica did not speak next (ground truth)

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Joey's last utterance was a rhetorical joke in response to her observation about the oven, which doesn't require a direct verbal reply from her.


Rachel! Come on out! Monica made breakfast!

Chocolate-chip pancakes!

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Monica's statement about the pancakes is an elaboration on the breakfast announcement, not a direct address or question to Phoebe, so Phoebe does not need to respond.


Whats the matter with me? Why Im such a girl?

(returns) Okay, that was Mike.

Phoebe, hi, were so sorry. Youre totally right. We are here  one hundred per cent and we love you and we are ready to start your birthday  celebration.

rachel addressed phoebe, not chandler (ground truth)

Explanation: BYSTANDER, Rachel is directly addressing Phoebe with an apology and initiating a new topic about her birthday celebration, making Chandler's previous self-reflection irrelevant to the current exchange.


Wow! That is a bad audition.

How-how did you lose your job here?

Well, I had the audition but Gunther said I had to stay here and be in charge so he could go get his hair dyed. So, I went anyway, and then he fired me.

joey addressed gunther, not phoebe (ground truth)

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Joey's last utterance was a direct answer to Rachel's question about how he lost his job, making it Rachel's turn to respond or ask a follow-up.


What?! My mom’s not gonna be here?!

Well, given that we forgot to invite her it would be an awfully big coincidence if she was.

Well it wasn’t my fault, Phoebe was in charge of the invitations!

monica addressed phoebe, not rachel (ground truth)

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Rachel is an active participant in the conversation, but Monica's latest utterance is a defensive explanation about who was responsible for the invitations, not a direct prompt for Rachel to respond.


He left work in the middle of the day to do a personal errand and left you in charge when you’ve been working here two days? That’s not, that’s not right.

Yeah, what are ya gonna do?

Joey, you can’t let him get away with that. Ya know what, I’m not going to let him get away with that. I’m going to say something to him—No, I really shouldn’t say anything—No, I should say something to him. (Goes to the counter) Gunther, I want you to give Joey his job back. That is really not fair that you have to fire him…

gunther was addressed by rachel and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, Gunther was directly addressed by Rachel, who made a clear demand for him to give Joey his job back.


Well, how could it not be breezy, no, 'cause, you're, you're in such a breezy place.

Here, I got it. I'll will play my message for you guys, and you can tell me if it's breezy enough.

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT; Monica directly invited "you guys," which includes Joey, to tell her if her message is "breezy enough," creating an expectation for a response from the group.


Yeah but I was just screwing with you to try to get your voice all high and weird like mine is now!

Yes, but haven’t you wanted a kid like forever?

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Chandler directly addresses Monica with a question about her desire for a child, requiring her to respond.


Ross, I hated you when we were kids.

Why did you hate me?

Because, you were mean to me and you, you teased me and you always, always got your way.

And that wasn't fun for you?

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Although Ross directly asked Monica a follow-up question, his rhetorical phrasing "And that wasn't fun for you?" serves more as an acknowledgment of her previous statement rather than soliciting a new verbal response.


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…

joey was addressed by rachel and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Rachel directly apologized to Joey, making him the addressee and requiring a response to her statement.


All right. Chandler, you can either spin the wheel or pick a Google card.

Let me think. Let me think—Oh! I don’t care.

You-you must choose Mr. Bing.

Either, it makes no difference.

Choose, you jackass!

Explanation: Chandler is an active participant, as Joey has just issued a direct and forceful command for him to make a choice, which might lead to a moment of silence as Chandler processes the demand or considers.


Oh my God, I’m so sorry.

What’s the big deal?

I just get mad when Rachel doesn’t remember where we’re going.

rachel was addressed by chandler and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, as she initiated the apology and Chandler's most recent utterance directly refers to her actions and memory, prompting her to respond.


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!!

I’m sorry, they surprised me. There was nothing I could do!

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Monica's last utterance is a defensive explanation directly responding to Phoebe's accusation, which concludes the immediate point about the stripper.


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)

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT as Monica has just finished speaking, directly addressing her and handing her a headset and messages, which implies a new task for Phoebe to process.


Uh, absolutely, yeah, sEnd her in. (Monica enters) Hi.

What the hell is this? (holding up the check)

Hang on a second. (to the employees) I’ll-I’ll talk to you in the morning. (turns two of the three off) I’m sorry what?

Seriously, what is this supposed to mean?

Well, y’know, I never know how much to tip.

You’re supposed to double the tax. Not double the tax of Romania. I mean, what’s-what’s the deal? Are you, are you trying to buy me? Is this the way you get girls to go out with you?

(turns off the TV) You’re taking this all wrong. Because, if I didn’t leave you that tip, you wouldn’t of come down here, we wouldn’t be having this argument, and there wouldn’t be this ah, heat between us.

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT; Pete's last statement, "there wouldn’t be this ah, heat between us," is a direct and somewhat provocative response to her accusations, which she might need a moment to process before responding.


No-no-no! No-no-no! Please Ross, I can’t! I can’t do it! (Starts to freak out.) It’s just gonna freak me out!!!

Okay! Okay! Ooh-hey-hey-hey! Okay! Okay! Okay! I’ll-I’ll tell her tonight I can’t see her anymore.

You want me to call her right now?

Oh no! No! No-no-no-no! No, I mean come on that’s-that’s crazy—I mean that’s crazy. So what’s-what’s going on with you? What is going on with you?

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Rachel just rejected Ross's offer and, while asking him direct questions about himself, she may still be processing her own emotional state or intending to elaborate further on the topic shift.


Oh! Phoebe, all babies are beautiful!

Okay, oh, and Emma needs a cowgirl outfit for the competition.

Where am I gonna get a cowgirl outfit on Thanksgiving?

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, as Rachel's rhetorical question about the cowgirl outfit directly follows Phoebe's request and invites Phoebe to continue the discussion she initiated.


Almost over man.

(says hi to his grandma) Look! Oh! (Pointing out the window.) Is that the Pope?! (Chandler and his grandma turn to look and Joey slips a tape into the VCR.)

chandler was addressed by joey and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: Chandler is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because he was just speaking to Joey and was directly addressed and tricked by Joey's deceptive question about the Pope, prompting a reaction to the trick.


Whoa-whoa-hey-hey! (Motions to Chandler, "What’s going on?") Hi, Paul is it? (Paul nods yes and still hugging Joey.)

Do you have my credit card?

Yes, it’s in my… In…in my pocket. (Paul hasn’t dropped him yet.) (Chandler starts to reach for his front pocket.) My back pocket! My back pocket!

Explanation: Chandler is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Joey's last utterance is a direct instruction about the credit card's location, prompting Chandler to physically retrieve it rather than speak.


Going to the hospital tonight?

You just asked me.

Okay, maybe it was a trick question. (Plays a few chords) Um, Rachel can we do this now?

phoebe addressed rachel, not monica (ground truth)

Explanation: Monica is a BYSTANDER because Phoebe has explicitly shifted her attention and question to Rachel, asking "Rachel can we do this now?".


Chandler, why would you do that?

Well y’know, they only give you three letters, so after A-S-S it  is a bit of a challenge.

It is when you put it together with that one.

Ah, well if you don’t clear this off, you won’t be getting one  of those from me. But Ben’s coming over here tomorrow to play this game, this  can’t be there.

Explanation: Chandler is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT as Monica directly addressed him with a warning and instruction regarding the game, prompting a response or acknowledgment from him.


Oh yeah, she can't be herself.

Okay, so... allright... Which dress? (she holds up    two 'Phoebe' dresses, Rachel and Monica look at them... taking their time, don't    wanting to hurt Phoebe) You can say "neither".

Yeah, totally! You are in such good hands. And I'm    so good with meeting parents. With the father, you know, you want to flirt a    little bit, but not in a gross way. Just kind of like "Oh mr. Pincer,    I can see where Wallis gets his good looks..."

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Rachel's most recent utterance has shifted the topic from Phoebe's dress question to general advice about meeting parents, which is not directed at Phoebe for an immediate response.


No, there is no way he was a velociraptor. No Tony, look at the cranial ridge, OK. If Dino was a velociraptor, he would have eaten the Flintstones. Yeah, yeah. [Monica comes out of her room] Oh, were you takin' a nap?

Did she leave a number?

Did you see me write one down?

I don't have her number, butt-munch.

Well, she'll call back, don't be such a baby.

I'm not a baby, you're the baby.

Look, you wanna get off my back?

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, and Ross's statement "Look, you wanna get off my back?" is a rhetorical question or command directed at her, signaling a desire to end their argument rather than inviting a further verbal response.


No, you don't have to, and you can't because I, I live here too.

Well then, you should look with us.

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, as Phoebe's suggestion "Well then, you should look with us" is an open invitation that involves the group, prompting Rachel to potentially respond to the proposed activity.


Why is it sick?

Because it’s Richard’s son! It’s like inviting Greek tragedy over for dinner!

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Rachel directly responded to Monica's question about why something is "sick," making it Monica's turn to acknowledge or continue the discussion.


Chandler, come on, you're gonna find somebody.

How do you know that? How?

I don't know, I'm just tryin' to help you out.

You'll see, you guys are all gonna go off and get married, and I'm gonna endup alone. Will you promise me something? When you're married, will you invite me over forholidays?

Well, I don't know. I don't know what we're gonna be doin'. I mean, what if we'reat her folks' place?

Yeah, I understand.

You can come over and watch the Super Bowl. Every year, all right?

You know what? I'm not gonna end up like this. I'll see you man.

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT; Chandler's final statement is a declaration of resolve and a farewell ("I'll see you man"), indicating the end of the conversation rather than an invitation for Joey to speak further.


Well, she and I said from the beginning that we weren't gonna do   anything unless you were okay with it. And clearly..

Hey, what are you talking about? I'm fine!

It's okay, Ross, alright? I totally understand. Of course you're   not fine. You're.. You're Ross and Rachel.

Except we're not. I mean, we haven't been a couple in like, six   years. Oh my god, is that right? Has it been that long?

Explanation: Joey is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, as he initiated the discussion about Ross and Rachel, and Ross's last utterance directly responds to Joey's statement and then reflects on their past relationship, inviting Joey's continued engagement.


Y'know, with the right pair of pumps, that would be a great little outfit.

Listen, I'm- I'm sorry I was so hard on you before, it's just I...

Oh, Ross, c'mon. It's my fault, I almost lost your...

Yeah, but you were the one who got him back, y'know? You, you were great. ...Hey, we uh, we still have that, uh, that bottle of wine. You in the mood for, uh, something grape?

rachel did not speak next (ground truth)

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT as Ross just directly addressed her with a question about sharing wine, but she remains silent as Ross may be pausing for her to process the offer or to elaborate on his suggestion.


(returning) Hey you guys, Hums While He Pees just asked me out!

Hey, I thought that guy was married.

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Rachel's comment "Hey, I thought that guy was married" is a direct reaction to Phoebe's news, implicitly inviting Phoebe to respond or elaborate on the situation.


Let’s have Monica decide.

Why do I have to decide?

Explanation: Chandler is an active participant, and Monica's question "Why do I have to decide?" directly addresses him, prompting him to explain his suggestion.


All right. (Gets up.) I'll uh, I'll see you later, okay?

(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, and Phoebe's apology for the "fat ass" comment and subsequent compliment conclude that specific sub-topic, allowing for a pause without requiring an immediate verbal response from Ross.


Put your hands together.

Joey, take your time with that. That's my last batch.

No more jam?!

I figured out I need to charge seventeen bucks a jar just to break even. So, I've got a new plan now. Babies.

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Monica is making an announcement about her new business plan, which is a statement of her new direction rather than a direct question or prompt for Joey to respond.


When you were reading the dirty magazines without taking off the plastic!

(to Ross) I'll show you how.

Ok, well Monica, suppose one of your "special" tickets win? How are you gonna feel when you win the lottery and you lose all your friends?

monica was addressed by rachel and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Rachel directly addressed Monica and asked her a question about her lottery tickets, prompting a response.


Oh, hey, you guys are finally gonna get to meet Kate!

(to Chandler) And I ah, borrowed some of your cologne. I hope she likes it.

Joey, what are you doing?! It’s never gonna happen, she’s seeing somebody.

The green bottle next to the shaving cream.

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Joey's last utterance is a factual clarification about the specific cologne he borrowed, not a direct response to Monica's previous point about Kate's relationship status, and therefore does not require a further reply from Monica.


Well, this is the last box of your clothes. I’m just gonna label it, "What were you thinking?"

Funny, because I was just gonna go across the hall and write that on Chandler.

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, as Rachel's humorous remark directly responds to Monica's previous joke about labeling clothes, concluding their shared humorous exchange.


Hey, Joe, I gotta ask. The girl from the Xerox place buck naked (holds up one hand), or, or a big tub of jam. (holds up the other hand)

Put your hands together.

No more jam?!

Explanation: Chandler is a BYSTANDER as Monica is explaining her new business plan to Joey, and Chandler is not being addressed in this new topic.


Chandler!!! Chandler!!! (He opens the door to the apartment but is stopped by the chain; Chandler and Monica quickly stop making out and try to get dressed.) Chandler, I saw what you were doing through the window! Chandler, I saw what you were doing to my sister! Now get out here!

What are you doing?!

Come on Chandler, come on, I can handle Ross. (They go to the door. Ross is trying to stick his hand through and undo the chain; Monica pushes his hand back.) (To Ross) Hold on! (She opens the door.) Hey Ross. What's up bro?

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Ross should speak because Monica just directly addressed him with "Hey Ross.


Hey look-look, Phoebe’s talking to uh, Cute Coffeehouse Guy.

Oh, you guys call him Cute Coffeehouse Guy, we call him Hums While He Pees.

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Ross's humorous comment about "Hums While He Pees" is a concluding remark to her observation, not a direct question or prompt that requires an immediate response from her.


Uhhh, Phoebe and Joey.

Yeah, why don't you just find another apartment?

Explanation: Joey is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Phoebe's suggestion to "find another apartment" is directed at another person in the conversation, not at Joey.


Joseph Francis Tribbiani are you home yet?!!

Umm, I think he’s still out. What’s wrong?

Well, I’ll tell you Rachel Karen Green, I had plans with Joey tonight and he left me this note. (Hands it to Rachel.)

(reading the note) "Pheebs, can’t make it, got a date. Talk to you later. Big Daddy." (Laughs) Big Daddy?

Oh that’s a nickname we were trying out.

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Phoebe's explanation about the nickname directly addresses Rachel's previous reaction and concludes that specific point in the conversation, not requiring a further response from Rachel.


All right! Come on Monica! Look alive! Come on, look alive!

(entering) Oh good, you're all up.

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Phoebe's entrance and general address, "Oh good, you're all up," is directed at the entire group, prompting a response from those present.


Okay, I get it. So, I get nothing! Nothing here is mine! Everything here is yours! I’ll get up in the morning put on your clothes, and head off to work!

Yeah-yeah, y’know what? Yeah, that’s it-that’s it, everything will be mine! Nothing will be yours! That’s-that’s what I said! Oh come on, Chandler! I’m talking about the barca lounger! It just, it doesn’t match! Where is it gonna go?!

chandler was addressed by monica and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: Chandler is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT as Monica just directly addressed him by name and asked him a question, continuing their ongoing argument about their shared possessions.


more important than three stupid divorces!

Oh yeah? Have you ever dated anyone who has been divorced three times?

Y’know that’s really fair. Y’know? Most guys who have been divorced three times are like 60. Ross, nobody cares about this except you! This-this embarrassment thing is all in your head! Here, I’ll show you! Come here.

And if you wait right here, I’ll go get Ross. (Phoebe grabs his arm and prevents him from escaping.)

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT who just physically prevented Ross from escaping after his sarcastic remark, and her action serves as a non-verbal response that places the conversational turn back on Ross to react to being restrained.


No, I mean tonight, in the building. Suddenly. Into our lives.

Well, the cat... the cat turned out to be Paolo's cat!

Explanation: Ross is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Rachel's utterance about "the cat" and "Paolo's cat" directly responds to Ross's previous statement, inviting him to continue the discussion about this unexpected event.


I don’t wanna hear "Three failed marriages!"

Look, if you’d had two failed marriages, you’d understand!

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT as Ross directly addressed her with a counter-argument to her previous statement, making it her turn to respond in their ongoing exchange.


Oh really? She said she wants to go away with you?

No-no-no-no-no! It’s a surprise, but it’s gonna be tricky thought because she said she was gonna be pretty busy at work for a while.

Jo-Joey, look honey we-we need to talk okay? Umm, I kinda got the feeling from her today that uh, she’s not lookin’ for a serious relationship.

Explanation: Joey is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, as Rachel directly addressed him to deliver significant news about the woman he was just discussing, requiring his response.


I like them a lot.

That's not what I had in mind! See, people like Ross don't generally wear these types of pants. You see, they're very tight. (Motions to Ross's buttock.) Maybe there's something in that area.

chandler addressed ross, not monica (ground truth)

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT as Chandler's detailed explanation about Ross's pants directly countered her previous statement, but he did not pose a question or directly prompt her for a response after making his point.


He's planning your birthday party.

Oh my God! I love him!

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

phoebe was addressed by joey and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Joey directly addressed her upon her entrance, instructing her to act surprised, which prompts a response.


(forcing the door open) Come on, Rachel, come on! Talk to me! Please!!

I can’t talk to you. I can’t even look at you right now!

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT; Rachel has just explicitly stated that she cannot talk to Ross and cannot even look at him, directly shutting down further conversation with him.


He’s being silly, because he knows that we enjoy the silliness!

No, I-I-I’m serious, okay? I mean, think about it. You move in, you start fighting over stupid game rooms, next thing y’know you break up!

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT; Ross's serious warning about couples moving in together and breaking up is directly relevant to Monica and Chandler's relationship, prompting Monica to respond to his concerns.


I’ve got friends too. Okay, bye.

Oh my God! I’m going out with Eric! Ooh, this day is really gonna be so much better than I thought it was gonna be. Oh Ross, I can’t make lunch. (Exits.)

So apparently I’m available for lunch.

Explanation: Phoebe is a BYSTANDER because she has exited the scene, making Ross's comment about his lunch availability a self-reflection rather than an address to her.


Oh, I knew something had to be wrong, because my fingernails did not grow at all yesterday.

Yeah, well, I guess they had a fight, and he got drunk....

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, Monica should speak because Chandler is providing an update on an ongoing situation to the group, which prompts further engagement or reaction from the participants.


Ok, wait wait wait wait a minute wait a minute, I mean Rach, I mean if if... . If Hugsy means that much to Emma then...  well she can have him.

Oooh... you're sweet, I knew uncle Joey would step up. (Turns to face Emma in the the playpen) Look Emma, look who's baaack!

Look forget it forget it...  I can't do it.

Are you gonna...  you're going to take Hugsy away from a little child?

How do you think I got him in the first place?

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Joey's rhetorical question about how he got Hugsy in the first place is a self-contained statement that doesn't require an immediate verbal response from her.


Oh yeah? All right, let’s do it tonight.

Well don’t you have that big date tonight?

Hey Joey, can I ask you something?

Oh my God! You did too? It totally freaked me out, what was that?!

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT who just asked Joey two questions, but Joey's last utterance is an exclamation about a shared experience that doesn't directly address Rachel's questions, inviting a general.


I'm sorry. See that's the good thing about my job. All the dinosaurs on my table are already dead.

Listen you guys, I don't mean to be a pain about this but, um, I've noticed that some of you are just placing them on. You wanna push the caps until you hear them click. [she demonstrates, Gunther starts to walk to the door] Gunther, where're you going?

monica addressed gunther, not ross (ground truth)

Explanation: BYSTANDER; Monica's direct question to Gunther about where he is going shifts the conversational focus entirely to Gunther, making Ross a bystander in the immediate exchange.


Oh, I'm glad. Listen, I want to apologize about Chandler, though. I just did not see this coming.

(enters the room wearing an "I love New York" t-shirt, a "Statue of Liberty" hat and carrying bags) New York is awesome!

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT; she was just speaking and her last utterance was an apology about Chandler, making it natural for her to now address him directly after his grand entrance.


Yeah, maybe if you’re in love. But Ross, we are not in love, are we?

No but…but still you can’t possibly do this alone.

Come on Rach, you can’t even eat alone in a restaurant.

I’m just saying if you can’t eat by yourself, how do you expect to have a baby by yourself?

I can too eat by myself!

When have you ever?

When certain people leave the table and I am not finished!

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT; Ross should speak because Rachel's last utterance directly responds to his previous question, continuing their back-and-forth argument about her ability to be alone.


And that would be?

I, um, can't tell you.

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because she just asked Joey a direct question, and his evasive response ("I, um, can't tell you") invites her to press for more information.


Yeah, he’s the best.

Then talk to him! He might be fine with it.

Joey, it’s worth finding out. I mean, if you really like her.

I do! So much! I can’t stop thinking about her! I can’t sleep, I—

Explanation: Ross is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, as Joey's emotional outburst is a direct and emphatic response to Ross's previous advice and question about Joey's feelings for the girl.


It could be better! He, uhm... he fell asleep!

Explanation: Ross is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Joey's exclamation "What!? But I already bought my ticket to Bermuda!" is an expression of personal dismay and a statement of consequence, not a direct question or prompt for Ross to elaborate further.


No!! Okay?! Why does everyone keep fixating on that? She didn't know, how should I know?

Sometimes I wish I was a lesbian... (They all stare at him.) Did I say that out loud?

Alright Ross, look. You're feeling a lot of pain right now. You're angry. You're hurting. Can I tell you what the answer is?

ross was addressed by joey and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: Ross is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Joey directly addressed him, acknowledged his emotional state, and then asked if he could tell Ross "what the answer is," prompting a response.


Chandler, I can't be playing games, Ross is gonna be home soon. And I have to write five whole pages if I'm gonna stick to his schedule.

Well, so, play for the next 30 minutes and then write until he gets home.

(jumping up) All right! But uh, listen, what do you say we crank it up a notch?

chandler did not speak next (ground truth)

Explanation: Chandler is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Joey's "All right!" accepts Chandler's previous suggestion, and his subsequent question, "what do you say we crank it up a.


Oh yeah? What are you gonna do?

Why am I not surprised?

Y’know what Ross? I’m not gonna let you get away with this!

I don’t think you have much choice.

Yeah bye-bye! (Exits and comes back in still holding the lotion.) Hey! So just a light layer?

Yes. Yes. Just here (Runs his fingers down the bridge of his nose) and there (Runs his fingers across his forehead).

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT; Ross has just finished giving specific instructions to Joey about where to apply the lotion, directly answering Joey's previous question without prompting further immediate input.


Okay! Okay! We can take a hint! (They start to leave but run into Phoebe with her guy in tow.) (To Phoebe) What are you doing here?!

This is Patrick. (Points to him.)

monica did not speak next (ground truth)

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Phoebe's introduction of Patrick is an informational statement directed at Monica and Chandler that does not require an immediate verbal response from Monica.


Oh my God Phoebe! I mean I’m just—Wait a minute. If I’m your maid of honor that means you are Monica’s.

But why does it even matter?!

Why does it matter so much to you?!

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Rachel directly asked her a follow-up question about her previous statement, requiring a response.


So tell me, what are Joey Tribbiani’s end of the night moves?

Ah, well, if I want the girl to kiss me, first thing I do is make my lips  look irresistible.

How do you do that?

Now you can’t tell anyone, but uh…I put on shiny lip balm.

Oh my God!

Yeah, like a moth to a flame, I’m telling ya. Okay all right, so now  you go.

No, I don’t want to tell you.

Explanation: Joey is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because he just prompted Rachel to share her "moves," and Rachel's utterance "No, I don’t want to tell you" is a direct refusal to his prompt, completing her turn without inviting further immediate speech from him.


Are you sure?

Yes! (Pause) No! (Pause) Google!

Oh my God! Congratulations Ross, because Chandler, you’ve been Bamboozled!

Explanation: Chandler is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, as Joey directly addressed him and declared that he had been "Bamboozled," prompting a response.


Yeah, big stuff.

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

phoebe addressed chandler, not joey (ground truth)

Explanation: Joey is a BYSTANDER as Phoebe is directly addressing Chandler and handing him an item, making the exchange between them.


Well, I'm feeling really insecure about the one we are shooting tomorrow...

Joey, is this that thing that you do when you say you're bad so I'll give you a compliment?

A little. Yeah no, I really am worried, you know, I mean I have to make it convincing that I'm in love with Olivia.

So...I've never played that!

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because she just questioned Joey's sincerity, and he is now continuing to explain his worries directly to her, making a response from her expected.


What are these, like famous chickens?

Hey, sorry I'm late. Congratulations, Mon. (to Ross) I'm not sorry I'm late.How incredible was my afternoon with Jade?

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Chandler directly addressed Ross and asked him a question about his afternoon with Jade, prompting a response.


Okay, I’m next. (Phoebe starts another game.) Don’t!  Don’t start another game! I said I’m next! Phoebe!

Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t hear you over all the winning.

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Phoebe's sarcastic retort about "winning" serves as a concluding remark to Monica's complaint about starting another game.


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: Rachel is a BYSTANDER as Ross just responded directly to Joey's question about the game, and the turn is now with Joey to ask the next question.


want to see you again!

(closing the fridge in disgust) Shoot! We’re out of soda.

Nope! Because I’m not your boyfriend. (to Phoebe, who’s entering) Hey Pheebs, how did it go?

chandler addressed phoebe, not monica (ground truth)

Explanation: Monica is a BYSTANDER as Chandler has just initiated a direct exchange with Phoebe, asking her "Hey Pheebs, how did it go?", which does not involve Monica or her previous comment about soda.


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?!

rachel addressed phoebe, not monica (ground truth)

Explanation: Monica is a BYSTANDER, as she has physically left the room, and Rachel's question about the present is directed to Phoebe in her absence.


I don’t know, she seemed to think it was such a crazy idea! Um, plus, she, uh, she got me taffy!

Taffy, really? I’ve never had any.

Well, I think my mother was too busy planning her suicide to provide saltwater treats. (Ross hands her one) Thank you! So what, you’re just never going to tell her?

Oh, no, no, no, I will! I just want to butter her up, first! You know, I’m going to take her to an amazing Valentine’s dinner. Do all this romantic stuff, and then, just when she thinks I’m the best boyfriend in the world, then I’m going to tell her that my pregnant ex-girlfriend is living with me.

If I haven’t said it before she’s a lucky, lucky lady! So, where are you going to—what the mother of crap is up with this stuff? (Referring to the taffy, which she’s been chewing this whole time.) Oh, God. Is it gum, is it food? What’s the deal? (she swallows it, finally) Oh, it’s nice! May I try a pink one?

Explanation: Ross is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Phoebe's extended commentary about the taffy is largely self-directed, and her final question "May I try a pink one?" is a casual request that does not immediately require a verbal response from Ross.


All right. Chandler, you can either spin the wheel or pick a Google card.

Let me think. Let me think—Oh! I don’t care.

You-you must choose Mr. Bing.

Either, it makes no difference.

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Joey should speak because Chandler's last utterance directly contradicts Joey's instruction to make a choice, requiring Joey to prompt him again to proceed with the game.


Chandler, we still haven’t gotten an RSVP from your dad.

Oh! Right. Umm, maybe that’s because I didn’t send him an invitation.

Chandler! He’s your father; he should be at the wedding.

I don’t even know the man. Okay? We’re not the close. I haven’t seen him in years.

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT who initiated the discussion about Chandler's father, and Chandler's last utterance directly responds to her insistence, prompting her to continue the exchange.


Yeah, we’ll be fine.

Look Rachel, I wanted to tell you, I thought I should, I-I did, and then Chandler and Joey convinced me not to.

(handing Monica the wax) Wax the door shut, we’re never leaving, ever.

Don’t you realise none of this would’ve ever happened if I didn’t think at that same moment you weren’t having sex with Mark?

Explanation: BYSTANDER; Ross is directly addressing Rachel with a highly personal accusation about their past, making it a private exchange between them that does not involve Chandler.


Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t hear you over all the winning.

Chandler! Phoebe’s hogging the game!

monica addressed chandler, not phoebe (ground truth)

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Monica's complaint about Phoebe's game-hogging is directed to Chandler, shifting the conversational turn to him rather than inviting a direct response from Phoebe.


Nice shoes, huh? (He wiggles his foot and the bells tinkle)

Ross! He's playing with my spatulas again!

Okay, look, he's not gonna hurt them, right?

Do you always have to bring him here?

I didn't wanna leave him alone. Alright? We- we had our first fight this morning. I think it has to do with my working late. I said some things that I didn't mean, and he- he threw some faeces...

Explanation: Joey is a BYSTANDER as Ross is explaining a private issue with Marcel to Monica, and Joey is neither addressed nor involved in this specific exchange.


Phoebe, we are so proud of you! You're amazing!

Yeah. You won't be able to take it.

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Phoebe's statement "You won't be able to take it" is a declarative response to Monica's praise that shifts the focus to Phoebe's own situation and does not directly prompt Monica for a further reply.


Hey Joey, could you uh, go through these lines with me? (He’s holding a script.)

Okay uh, look I know you’re a great actor, okay? And you play all those Shakespeare guys and stuff…

But you’re spittin’ all over me man!

Well of course I am!

you’ve been spitting on me?!

richard did not speak next (ground truth)

Explanation: Richard is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Joey's latest utterance "you've been spitting on me?!" is an exclamation of dismay reacting to Richard's previous admission, not a new question requiring a further response from Richard.


I'm so sorry, but you should have a sign out there or   something. Or at least whisper it to people when they come in the   door. "Owen doesn't know he's adopted, and he also thinks that Santa   is real."

(to Monica) We have to get out of here, baby!

Everyone? I would like to make a toast to Rachel and Joey.

ross addressed rachel, not chandler (ground truth)

Explanation: Chandler is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Ross has just initiated a toast directed to "Everyone" specifically honoring Rachel and Joey, which typically calls for a collective acknowledgment rather than an individual speaking turn from another participant.


Oh, okay, (laughing) you’re not a pushover.

Oh my … you think I’m a pushover. Well wait, watch this, you know what? You’re not invited to lunch. What do you think of that? I think that’s pretty strong, that’s what I think. Come on, Monica, let’s go to lunch. (She leaves)

(to Phoebe) You start working on that list. (She grabs her coat and leaves, too.)

I cannot believe her.

I know. Where do you wanna go eat?

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, as Monica just directly asked her where she wants to go eat, requiring a response.


Oh Joey, Melanie called, said she's gonna be late.

I don't know, she's, uh.... she's pretty great.

Yeah? What does she think of your little science project?

What, you think I'm gonna tell a girl I like that I'm also seeing a cup?

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, as she initiated the topic and asked Joey a direct question about his "science project," to which Joey just responded, prompting her to continue the exchange.


bad massages. If anybody was looking for the best bad massage and they were thinking to themselves, "Who's the best of that?" They'd have to go to you.

Huh. So you're saying like umm, if there was an award for the best bad massage, well who would get that?

Explanation: Chandler is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Monica is directly asking a clarifying question that rephrases his previous statement about her giving bad massages.


Monica, wake up. Monica.

No. Big deal, so you have a side of the bed, everybody has a side of the bed.

Explanation: Richard is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, as he initiated the interaction by waking Monica, and her last utterance is a direct, defensive response to him.


Hey Mon, what are you doing now? Wanna come see a movie with us?

Uhh, y'know actually I was gonna do some laundry.

Hey Chandler, wanna do it with me?

Sure, I'll do it with ya.

Explanation: Rachel is a BYSTANDER as Chandler's response was directly to Monica's invitation to do laundry, continuing their new exchange that does not involve Rachel.


Oh, that is so unfortunate.

Cute naked guy is really starting to put on weight.

(entering from bedroom) Okay, I’ll be back in just a minute. Oh, Phoebe I’m sorry that I left lipstick marks on the phone.

phoebe was addressed by monica and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Monica just directly apologized to her for leaving lipstick marks on the phone, requiring a response.


Yes! Yes, I did.

Then do Iceberg!

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Joey is an active participant as Phoebe's instruction "Then do Iceberg!" is directed at him following his previous statement, but it is an imperative to act rather than a question requiring a verbal response.


(popping back up) Regular or decaf?

So ask me what I did today.

So what did you do today Pete?

pete was addressed by monica and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: Pete is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, as Monica directly asked him the question he had just prompted her to ask, expecting him to provide the answer.


Because I'm in love with Monica!!

I love you too Chandler. (They kiss.)

And hats off to Phoebe. Quite a competitor. (Pause) And might I say your breasts are still showing.

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Chandler's most recent comment, "And might I say your breasts are still showing," is clearly directed at Phoebe, not Monica.


Marcel. Bring me the rice, c'mon. Bring me the rice, c'mon. Good boy. Good boy. C'mere, gimme the rice. (Marcel brings the rice) Thank you, good boy. Well, I see he's finally mastered the difference between 'bring me the' and 'pee in the'. (Rachel ignores him) 'Bring me the' and- Rach?

Oh, I'm sorry. Oh, this is so stupid! I mean, I gave Barry up, right? I should be happy for them! I am, I'm happy for them.

No. Oh, oh, I guess it would be different if I were- with somebody.

Whoah, uh, what happened to, uh, 'Forget relationships! I'm done with men!' The whole, uh, penis embargo?

Oh, I don't know. I guess it's not about no guys, it's about the right guy, y'know? I mean, with Barry, it was safe and it was easy, but there was no heat. With Paolo, that's all there was, was heat! And it was just this raw, animal, sexual...

Well, I mean, do you think you can ever have both? Y'know? Someone who's like, who's like your best friend, but then also can make your toes curl?

Yes. Yes. Yes! Yes, I really do! In fact, it's funny, very often, someone who you wouldn't think could-could curl your toes, might just be the one who...

Hi, how was the movie?

Explanation: Ross is a BYSTANDER as Rachel's sudden question "Hi, how was the movie?" is a clear topic shift and likely addressed to someone else entering the scene, not a direct continuation of her previous conversation with Ross.


Oh umm, my big scene is coming up. Big scene coming up.

If you said, "Big lima bean, bubbling up." Would she understand the difference?

(noticing Rachel crawling behind the couch) Rach? What are you doing?

rachel was addressed by monica and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Monica directly addressed her with a question, "Rach? What are you doing?".


(notices something) Ross is wearing leather pants! Does nobody else see that Ross is wearing leather pants? (Pause, no one speaks.) Someone comment on the pants!

Oh see, I-I needed a new thing for today and there's this leather store that always smells so good and I thought to myself, "Wow, (To Chandler) I never really owned a good smelling pair of pants before."

Explanation: Chandler is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Ross's final comment to him about the pants smelling good was a concluding, humorous observation to his explanation, not a direct prompt requiring an immediate verbal response from Chandler.


Me too, we should get goin'.

No, no, I mean, no, c'mon you guys, I mean, c'mon look it's only eleven thirty. Let's just talk, we never just hang out and talk anymore.

Rachel, that's all we do.

Maybe that's all we do, what about Julie?

Well, you have been in our lives for nearly two months now and we don't really know you. I mean, who is Julie? I mean, what do you like, what don't you like? We wanna hear everything.

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT; Rachel's most recent questions are specifically about Julie, making her the subject of the inquiry and not directly addressing Joey for a response.


Look , I'm sorry, guys, I just don't wanna give them any more ammunition than they already have.

Yes, and we all know how cruel a parent can be about the flatness of a child's pillow.

Monica- Hi! Um, Monica, you're scaring me. I mean, you're like, you're like all chaotic and twirly. And not-not in a good way.

phoebe addressed monica, not chandler (ground truth)

Explanation: Chandler is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Phoebe directly addresses Monica to express concern about her chaotic behavior, shifting the conversational focus to Monica's emotional state.


Ross! Y’know what, I just got—why? Why did you do this?!

Look, if you’d had two failed marriages, you’d understand!

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, as she just directly questioned Ross, and his defensive response to her invites her to continue their argument.


No, one of them...

I don't know, what were the names I just said?

Rachel, things can get incredibly complicated.

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, Rachel should speak because Monica directly addressed her with a statement that appears to be a direct response to Rachel's previous utterances, inviting a counter-response.


I said I’ll do it!

Nobody wants to do it? All right, I’ll do it myself.

Monica! I’m not gonna screw it up!

Y’know what? You’re right, I’m sorry. Actually you were a big help tonight. Yeah, and thanks for putting my grandmother in the cab and making sure she got to the hotel safely.

Well of course that is what I’m here for!

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, as Rachel's last utterance was a concluding statement directly responding to Monica's thanks and apology, not prompting a further reply.


(to Chandler and Monica) You guys, what, what do we do about Ross who drove all the way up here? What do we do? Just like send him back and we’re then gonna go skiing?

(sarcastic) Oh please, can’t I come to your special, magical cabin?

phoebe did not speak next (ground truth)

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because she initiated the discussion about Ross, but Ross's sarcastic comment is a general complaint about being excluded and not a direct question to Phoebe, allowing other participants to respond.


You don't kiss your friend's mom! Sisters are okay, maybe a hot-lookin' aunt... but not a mom, never a mom!

What are you guys doing out here?

Uh.. uh.. Well, Joey and I had discussed getting in an early morning racquetball game. But, um, apparently, somebody overslept.

Yeah, well, you don't have your racket.

No, no I don't, because it's being restrung, somebody was supposed to bring me one.

Explanation: Joey is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, as Ross's last statement, "somebody was supposed to bring me one," directly counters Joey's previous remark about Ross not having his racket and implies Joey was responsible, requiring a response from Joey.


Oh relax man, relax. You’re looking a little flushed.

(To Monica) Hey-hey-hey, I think we might find out the answer to our question.

Monica and I were talking about who could kick whose ass in a fight, you or Ross?

joey addressed monica, not chandler (ground truth)

Explanation: Chandler is a BYSTANDER as Joey's last utterance is directed to Monica, clarifying a previous discussion between them that does not involve Chandler.


Oh my God! You really are freakishly strong!

Monica! Stop it!

(spitting out the eyedropper) Damn! It's empty!

Wow, y'know if Joey and Chandler walked in right now, we could make a fortune! (Monica is straddling Rachel and holding her arms down. In a rather risqu pose, at least for primetime TV.)

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Rachel's last utterance is a humorous observation about their shared situation rather than a direct question or a turn that requires a response from Monica.


Ohh, hey! Why don’t you book a date for both of you at one of those romantic spas?

Ooh, Joey, that’s actually a really good idea!

And of course, crotchless panties.

You can’t make crotchless panties? You take, you take a pair of scissors and you just cut…

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Joey is currently elaborating on his own idea about crotchless panties, which is not a direct address or question to Phoebe, who has already responded to his earlier suggestion.


God, what is wrong with me.

I need to get some Richard.

Monica, you broke up with him for a reason.

I know, I know. I'm just so tired of-of missing him. I'm tired of wondering why hasn't he called. Why hasn't he called!

rachel did not speak next (ground truth)

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Monica is continuing to express her personal feelings about missing Richard and is not directly addressing Rachel for a response.


Phoebe, you have to lift it and point.

Oh. Aw, forget it.

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Phoebe's "Aw, forget it" is a concluding remark indicating she is giving up on the task Monica instructed her on, and does not directly prompt Monica for a further response.


Eh, you got a spray-on tan?

Chandler gets pedicures!

Sure, then you should get a mini skirt so you can   really show it off.

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT as she made a comment about Chandler, and Chandler's last utterance was a direct, sarcastic retort to her that doesn't invite a further response.


(after Ross is gone) What is he doing? What, Emily, thinks Ross's furniture has got Rachel coodies?

Ohh, whoa God! Storage rooms give me the creeps! Monica, come on please hurry up honey! Please?

Explanation: BYSTANDER. Rachel is directly addressing Monica about the storage room, shifting the focus away from Joey's previous comment about Ross and Emily.


I-I am serious, I mean, we're, we're all over each other all the time.

Okay, you know where you are better than I do. I was just curious.

(Start annoying hyper-competitive mode now.) (Jumping up) What don't you just calm down Phoebe! All right?! Why don’t you just get all your facts before you run around telling everybody that you're the only hot couple!!

obviously, I just—I misspoke. It's okay.

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT; Phoebe's last utterance is an apology and an attempt to de-escalate the argument, providing a natural closing to the heated exchange Monica initiated.


Oh Joey, I’m so sorry. You want some of my breakfast?

Nah, I’m too depressed to eat. I’ll probably eat in like 5 minutes. So I guess I’ll just fly home with you guys, what time’s your flight?

What about my cab?

No, Joey! You borrowed my cab; you have to drive it back.

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Joey is an active participant, as Phoebe directly addressed him with an instruction about the cab he borrowed, requiring his response.


They love my candy? Oh man!!! I’ve gotta go make more!! (Starts to do so.)

Hey Mon, you might wanna make some more lasagna too, because something might’ve happened to a huge chunk of it.

Ross! The neighbors ate all my candy!!

wave!! (Monica runs to make more candy.) Pheebs, you uh, you got a second.

Explanation: BYSTANDER: Ross is directly addressing Phoebe, asking her if she has a second, indicating a private conversation that does not involve Joey.


Why? Is it because I'm friends with Phoebe?

(as Ursula) If it was, would you stop hanging out with her?

Explanation: Joey is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because he just asked a question and Phoebe (as Ursula) directly responded to him with a follow-up question, requiring his answer.


Phoebe, I can explain!

You told me you hate massages!

I can’t believe this! How long as this been going on?

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Phoebe is directly accusing her and asking her "How long has this been going on?", requiring Monica to respond to the accusation and question.


Because she uh, she-she thinks that you are blah and that you, Monica, are too loud.

Ugh, I can not believe this! I mean, who is she to judge us? We could not have been nicer to her!

I know! I know! Come on, please-please you guys, don’t-don’t be mad. I’m sure she just, she just said that stuff because she was nervous and you guys are like my best friends! Y’know? And it was our first date! Plus, she’s really sick!

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Joey's lengthy explanation and plea are directed at "you guys" (Monica and Chandler) to calm them down, not specifically asking Monica for an immediate verbal response, suggesting a moment for them to absorb his defense.


Joey what-what were you thinking?!

Well, I was thinking that it’d probably be okay because Ross hasn’t gone out with Rachel in five years!

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?

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, Ross directly addressed Joey with a question about the actor, prompting him to provide an answer.


All right honey, we'd better go if we wanna catch that movie.

Bye Chandler! (She walks up to him.) (Quietly.) I miss you already. (She pinches his butt.)

(after they've left) Okay, did you see that?! With the inappropriate and the pinching!!

Explanation: Phoebe is a BYSTANDER because she has already left the scene, and Chandler's exclamation about her actions is directed to someone else or himself, not to her directly.


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

Oh, she was a cruel, cranky, old bitch! (Ross gives her a look) (to Ross) And I’m sorry she died. Did Dad say I get the dollhouse?

Explanation: Ross is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, having initiated the news and been directly addressed with a question, but his silence follows Monica's insensitive remarks about the deceased and her subsequent apology to him,.


What? Wait-wait a minute, what? Phoebe, what's the matter?

Our apartment is ready.

And that makes you angry because…

Because you would rather live here with Joey.

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Phoebe's last utterance directly answers Rachel's question and makes a statement about Rachel's living preferences.


This guy could be my baby’s stepfather!

They go on one date and you’re worried about them getting married?! He’s not you!

Explanation: Ross is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Joey just delivered a direct, somewhat rhetorical counter-argument to Ross's exaggerated concern, concluding with a statement that doesn't necessarily demand an immediate verbal reply.


(slides the juice across the counter which Joey catches) What do you care? You're an actor. This is your day job. This isn't supposed to mean anything to you.

I know, but, I was the best, you know? I liked being the best. (He downs the glass of juice in one swig.) I don't know. Maybe I should just get outta the game. They need guys up in housewares to serve cheese.

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Chandler should speak because Joey's most recent utterance is a direct, emotional response to Chandler's previous question, expressing self-doubt and contemplating quitting his career.


You can see the moonlight bouncing off her head! What the hell were you thinking?!!

You don’t know?! Rach, you balded my girlfriend!

All right! Ross, do you think it’s easy for me to see you with somebody else?

Y'know, hey! You’re the one who ended it, remember?

at you, not because I stopped loving you!

You still love me?

Noo, nnnnn. What does this mean? What do you, I mean do you wanna, get back together?

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Rachel is an active participant in an intense emotional exchange with Ross, who just asked her a profound question about their relationship, naturally leading to a moment of silence for processing before a response.


Hey Joey! Great stuff huh?

This is your place?

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT; Ross should speak because Joey's most recent utterance was a direct question addressed to him.


...So a bird just grabbed it, and then tried to fly away with it and, and then just dropped it on the street?

(lying) Yes, but if it’s any consolation, before the bird dropped it, he seemed to enjoy it.

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Chandler's concluding remark about the bird enjoying it provides a complete, albeit lying, answer to her previous statement and does not directly solicit a further response from her.


Hey Phoebe, can I talk to you for a second?

So, what should you have done?

Well, y'know, the reason I didn't wanna go running with you is because um, well y'know the way that you run is a little...(Starts flapping her arms)

Well, it's embarrassing. People were looking at us like we were crazy.

Why do you care?

Because they're people.

But people that you don't know and will never see again.

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT in the ongoing discussion with Phoebe, who just delivered a strong counter-argument directly challenging Rachel's previous statement, which may prompt Rachel to pause and consider Phoebe's.


Yes, I want to change. And why-why don’t you go down and get us a table?

Yeah, we’ll be down in like five minutes.

Hello? Oh, Pheebs! (To them) It’s Phoebe!

Hi, so what happened?

Explanation: Chandler is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Phoebe's general question "Hi, so what happened?" is directed to the group upon her arrival, not specifically addressing Chandler, allowing others to provide an update.


Ross, how long have you been planning this wedding?

I don’t know. A month?

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because she initiated the current exchange by asking Ross a direct question about his wedding plans, and Ross has just provided an answer to her query.


Sorry! I'm just—I'm not very good at this! I'm a terrible liar and I hate having to lie to Rachel!

Well, I was actually—I-I came over here to-to borrow this lamp. To umm, look at my books, y'know, see them a little better.

Great! Umm, well what-what I was doing in Chandler's room is that umm, I was cleaning it! In fact, he pays me to clean it!

Oh! What a great way to earn some extra pocket money.

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Rachel's comment, "Oh! What a great way to earn some extra pocket money," is a general acknowledgement of Monica's previous statement and does not require a direct response or further elaboration from Monica.


No, there is no way he was a velociraptor. No Tony, look at the cranial ridge, OK. If Dino was a velociraptor, he would have eaten the Flintstones. Yeah, yeah. [Monica comes out of her room] Oh, were you takin' a nap?

Did she leave a number?

Did you see me write one down?

I don't have her number, butt-munch.

Explanation: Ross is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Monica's frustrated declaration "I don't have her number, butt-munch" serves as a concluding statement to their exchange about the number and does not directly prompt him for a further response.


Joey, do you have peanut butter on the back of your head?

(Touches the back of his head and licks his fingers) Oh man! I thought I got it all!

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT as she initiated the exchange with Joey, and his subsequent self-comment about the peanut butter concludes the immediate topic without requiring further input from her.


All right, were you guys smoking something in the back of our van?

Really. And what do you mean you never have fun anymore? You have fun with me, remember that time we saw those strippers and you paid me 50 bucks to eat that book?

Explanation: Ross is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Monica's initial question about "you guys" smoking in the van directly addressed him, and he has not yet responded to that accusation.


Do you even know what a vicar is?

Like a goalie, right?

(sarcastically) Yeah. Look Joey, it’s enough all right?! You keep making these stupid jokes and this sleazy innuendoes and it’s—I’m not—it’s just not funny anymore!

joey was addressed by rachel and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: Joey is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Rachel directly addressed him, criticizing his jokes and innuendoes and explicitly telling him "it's enough all right?!".


Yeah, if I'm willing to sleep with the casting lady.

Ten years I've been waiting for a break like this Chandler, ten years! I mean, Daysof Our Lives. That's actually on television.

Well, I... I've got a pop-up book that told me everything I need to know.

I've never slept with someone for a part.

Well is she... [reaches into the cookie jar for a cookie, takes his hand out,covered with pasta sauce]

It's alright. Is she good-looking?

Yeah, she's totally good looking. I mean, if I met her in a bar, or something,I'd be buying her breakfast. [pause] You know, after having slept with her.

Explanation: Chandler is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Joey has just finished answering Chandler's direct question about the casting lady's appearance and elaborated on his thoughts, leaving no immediate conversational prompt for Chandler to speak.


Oh man! I want that place so much!! I was so sure that was gonna work! There's twelve bucks I'll never see again! (Exits.)

All right honey, we'd better go if we wanna catch that movie.

Explanation: BYSTANDER; Rachel is addressing "honey" about leaving for a movie, a private exchange that does not involve Chandler.


There I am.

You’re gonna get pregnant.

(on tape) I screwed up so bad, I told Monica that I would stuff and send all these wedding invitations like weeks ago and I-I…

(taking Rachel’s hand) Sweetie okay. It’s okay. Everybody made it to the wedding. I’m fine.

(on tape) (Ross hands her a glass of wine) I cannot believe that I did this. Especially after Monica just went on and on and on about it! (Mimicking Monica) "Okay Rachel! Here are the invitations Rachel! Now be very careful Rachel! Please, drinking no liquids around the invitations Rachel!" (She tilts her wine glass above and moves it back and forth across the invitations) Whoa oh! Oh-oh-oh! Oh…oh-oh-oh…

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT as the tape's content directly involves her wedding invitations and Rachel is mimicking her, but the most recent utterance is Rachel *on tape* recounting a past event and mimicking Monica, which does not require an immediate response from Monica in the present.


Okay, go to the left. (Joey goes starboard or sits on the right side of the boat.) The left!

(hurrying over) Okay! Okay, you’re yelling again! See that?

No! No-no, no-no-no, very quiet, said with love, no yelling.

Oh, y’know what? Since I’m here, I think I’m gonna have me a little beer on the port side. (Grabs and opens one.)

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Joey's latest utterance is a self-directed statement about his intention to get a beer, not a question or comment addressed to her that requires a response.


Of course I packed! Monica relax! I just wanted to ask Phoebe her opinion on what I should wear tonight.

My God, I can’t get a minute of peace around this place.

Oh my God! Monica’s just gonna kill you.

Yeah, yeah, I know.

Well, what you’re wearing is fine for that.

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, and Phoebe's statement, "Well, what you’re wearing is fine for that," directly answers Rachel's earlier question about what to wear tonight, concluding the immediate topic.


(entering from her room) Hey, guess what I'm doing this weekend! I'm going to this culinary fair in New Jersey.

Oh weird, Chandler just told us he's got a conference there!

phoebe addressed chandler, not monica (ground truth)

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Phoebe's observation about Chandler's conference in New Jersey is a new piece of information that doesn't directly require an immediate response from Monica, allowing for a pause or another character to react to the coincidence.


Not yet, no. (Drops his hand and moves back.)

Hey man, how did the audition go?

Explanation: Phoebe is a BYSTANDER as Chandler's question about the audition is directed at "man," not her.


Well y’know I was just in the neighborhood and I passed by your building and I thought to myself, "What’s up with Carol and sweet, little Ben?"

Umm uh, I’ll make some coffee and we can uh, chat.

I’d love that. I would loooove… (Carol goes to make the coffee and she sits down.) So uh, so where is sweet little Ben? I would love to have a little...

I found him! (To Ben) Very funny, come here! (She sits down on the coffee table and Ben walks up.) That is exactly why I’ve come here to talk to you okay?

Explanation: Carol is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT; although Rachel is currently addressing Ben, her statement "That is exactly why I’ve come here to talk to you okay?" (to Ben) refers to the reason she came to speak with Carol, making it a natural point for Carol to re-engage in the conversation about Ben.


You two will have very hairy children.

Okay, I didn't know you would say that.

All right, hold on! Hold on. Hold on. This is Ross, okay? He's our friend. He obviously went crazy. He obviously lost his mind.

joey addressed ross, not phoebe (ground truth)

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Joey has just interjected to address the group generally about Ross's state, attempting to diffuse the situation, and his statement does not solicit a direct response from her.


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.

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Monica's general announcement about the food arriving is not directed at Rachel and does not require a response from her.


Oh no wait, oh no, the elastic on my underwear busted.

(running from his bedroom) Oh my God! I overslept! I was supposed to be on the set a half an hour ago! I gotta get out of here!

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Joey just made an urgent, group-directed announcement about oversleeping and needing to leave, creating a clear conversational opening for a response from anyone present.


Chandler, I found the perfect ring. (Holding it out for her.)

Oh, that’s uh, that’s pretty nice but I’m gonna go with the one I picked first.

Oh my God Chandler, the one you picked is gone. It’s over!

Some guy bought it. I’m sorry. I tired to stop it but they (points to the jeweler) put me in jail!

They put you in jail?

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Chandler's incredulous question, "They put you in jail?", is a direct reaction to her previous statement that momentarily shifts the conversational focus to.


Hey, what are you guys doing tomorrow night?

Both of us? (points to Chandler and himself)

joey addressed chandler, not chloe (ground truth)

Explanation: Chloe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Joey's utterance "Both of us?" accompanied by the gesture (pointing to Chandler and himself) appears to be a clarification or rhetorical question directed more towards Chandler.


All right, look. Why don't you just return the book, let Joey give her the clock pen, and you give her something worse than that. Like... a regular pen.

(entering) Hey! I'm meeting Kathy in ten minutes! I've been looking all over for you!

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Joey has just entered and initiated a new exchange by announcing his plans and stating "I've been looking all over for you!", which shifts the conversational focus to him.


Dr. Burke? I don't think so. I mean, like, he's a grown up.

So. You two are totally into each other.

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Phoebe's statement "You two are totally into each other" is a direct observation about a relationship that Monica was just discussing, inviting her to respond to the accusation.


No, you are not, you are very attractive. You know what, I go through the exact same thing. Every time I put on a little weight, I start questioning everyting.

No, not wieght... y'know, more like insulation.

Chandler, I'm unemployed and in dire need of a project. Ya wanna work out? I can remake you.

chandler was addressed by monica and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Monica directly addressed Chandler and asked him a question, prompting a response from him.


So I got ya something. [tosses Joey a bag of plastic spoons]

These'll go great in my new place. You know, 'till I get real ones.

chandler did not speak next (ground truth)

Explanation: Chandler is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Joey's appreciative comment about the spoons serves as a concluding remark to the gift exchange, not requiring further immediate input from Chandler.


No Phoebe! I just need you there for support. I haven’t told him I’m pregnant yet.

Oh. Why not?

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

What Phoebe? Wait! One time he caught me smoking he said if he ever saw me doing that again he’d make me eat the entire pack.

Wow! Oh well, I will be there!

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, and Phoebe's concluding statement of support ("Wow! Oh well, I will be there!") directly responds to Rachel's request and explanation, leaving no immediate conversational slot for Rachel to fill.


Oh stop it. Joey already told me.

Hey, don't look at me. This is Ross's thing.

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, and Joey's defensive response to her previous statement creates an opening for her to continue the exchange.


I love that movie. (Joey is using it as a pillow)

There it is. Joey, what are you doing?

I'm sorry, it just felt nice.

Hey, I only got one good arm, you know. You should be doing stuff for me. Go get me a sweater.

monica did not speak next (ground truth)

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Joey's last utterance is a general complaint and a request for a sweater that is not specifically directed at her, allowing for a pause or for someone else to respond or act.


Phoebe, come on that's silly.

All right, so let's switch.

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, as Phoebe's "All right, so let's switch" is a direct response to Rachel's previous comment, inviting her to continue the exchange.


(laughs, softly) Yeah, the stripper stole it.

My-my ring? My-my wedding ring? The-the stripper stole my wedding ring?! H-how?! How could this all happen?!

Explanation: Joey is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT as he just revealed the information Ross is reacting to, but Ross's subsequent exclamations and rhetorical questions are expressions of shock and disbelief directed generally, not specific inquiries requiring an immediate verbal response from Joey.


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!

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Rachel has been directly addressing her throughout the exchange, most recently blaming Phoebe for her distress, which prompts a response.


(overhearing that) Why don't you just go out with her!

(following him) And did you notice the ice? (Gestures to 3 huge buckets of ice on the table.) Look! We have it all! We have crushed! Cubed! And dry! Watch! (Pours some water onto the dry ice, causing it to evaporate/smoke.) Ahhh! Mystical!

Chandler! Everyone--no one's eating my Tuscan finger food 'cause they're all filling up on Phoebe's snow cones!

There are snow cones! (Monica glares at him.) Snow cones! Yuck!

Explanation: BYSTANDER: Phoebe is a BYSTANDER as Chandler's "Snow cones! Yuck!" is a direct, appeasing response to Monica's glare, making it an exchange between Monica and Chandler that does not address Phoebe.


Wait a minute, you got Ross Gellar and guest?! I wasn’t invited and you got "and guest?!"

What? I can’t cancel on Joan!

Bec—Did you not hear me?! She’s an assistant professor in the Linguistics department, okay? They’re wild! Why do you want to come anyway?

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Monica is an active participant, but Ross's exasperated tone and the rhetorical nature of his final question, "Why do you want to come anyway?", suggest he is making.


Yeah. What are we getting?

(to Chandler) Anything but stew.

All right so, Chandler, from now on, don’t give your boss a chance to get you. Y'know just ah, don’t turn your back to him.

chandler was addressed by ross and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: Chandler is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT as Ross just directly addressed him, offering advice about his boss, which prompts a response or acknowledgment.


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!

Explanation: Chandler is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, as Ross is directly responding to Chandler's previous sarcastic comment by explaining his feelings about Emma leaving for camp, and Ross appears to be completing his justification.


It's just that I'm sick of being a victim of this Dick Clark holiday. I say this year, no dates, we make a pact. Just the six of us- dinner.

Y'know, I was hoping for a little more enthusiasm.

(Into microphone) Okay, hi. Ladies and gentlemen, back by popular demand, Miss Phoebe Buffay. Wooh!

rachel addressed phoebe, not chandler (ground truth)

Explanation: Chandler is a BYSTANDER as Rachel's performance-like introduction of Phoebe is addressed to a general audience and signals a shift to a new activity that does not require his immediate input.


(covering his eyes) Dude! That's my sister! (She shows the rest of the gang.)

(grabbing the picture) Give me that!

All right, wait! Just wait. Everybody just calm down. Okay? Let's give our friend Joey a chance to explain why he's such a big pervert!

joey was addressed by phoebe and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT. Phoebe directly addressed Joey, asking him to explain why he's a "big pervert," making him the direct recipient of the question and the focus of the exchange.


Well, maybe the crazy fog has lifted and she realises that life without me.... a-sucks.

It’s possible. You are very loveable, I’d miss you if I broke up with you. (Ross glares at him) I was just trying to be supportive.

ross was addressed by chandler and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT; Chandler's last utterance is a direct justification to Ross after Ross's non-verbal reaction, inviting Ross to respond to Chandler's attempt at support.


Okay, lesson one chords. Now, I don't know the actual names of the chords but umm, I-I-I made up names for the way my hand looks while I'm doing them. (She starts to show Joey the chords. Transcribers Note For this one you'll have to use your imagination, 'cause it would take me 50 pages to describe each one. So if you want to see them, you'll have to wait for this episode to come to a TV near you.) (Holding up her hand and then reconfiguring her hand with each name.) So then, this is Bear Claw. Okay, umm, Turkey Leg and Old Lady. (Joey tries to imitate them.)

Hey, Pheebs! Check-check this out. (Holds up his hand in one of Phoebe's chords.)

Ooh, you nailed the Old Lady! (They both laugh at what she said.)

Yeah listen so, I thought I was getting better, so on my way home today I stopped by this guitar store and…

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because she is teaching Joey guitar and just praised his attempt, and Joey's current utterance is an anecdote directly related to their shared activity, inviting her to listen and respond.


Skidmark’s still got a way with the ladies.

Hi! I just want to apologize. I’m really sorry I was a baby.

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Rachel just offered a general apology to the group, which invites a response or acknowledgment from any of the friends present.


Well, what did the police say?

My Thanksgiving leftover sandwich. I can't believe someone ate it!

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Chandler previously asked about what the police said, and Ross's current utterance about his eaten sandwich is a direct continuation of the topic Chandler introduced, prompting Chandler to follow up on the mystery.


Phoebe, it's me. I'm going to hunt you down and kill you!

You know, you are talking about one of my dear, dear friends.

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Rachel should speak because she initiated the exchange with Phoebe, and Phoebe's last utterance was a direct response to Rachel's aggressive statement, requiring Rachel to continue the confrontation.


[pulls Rachel aside] I just, I wanted to thank you for our uh, our little talk before.

Oh, God, no problem. So you're gonna go with the uh, waiting thing?

Explanation: Ross is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because he initiated this private conversation with Rachel, and Rachel just directly asked him a question about his decision.


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.

ross addressed joey, not chandler (ground truth)

Explanation: Chandler is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Ross's most recent utterance shifts the focus to Joey's hypothetical role and is not addressed to Chandler, thus not requiring his immediate response.


Yeah, I know. Oh, good thing it’s one of those 801 numbers. Right?

Phoebe, 800 is toll free, 801 is-is Utah.

phoebe was addressed by ross and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Ross directly addressed her to correct her misunderstanding about the phone number, creating an expectation for her to respond to his clarification.


Oh no-no, no-no I love living with you. It just seems that…if you’re gonna have a roommate, y’know it might as well be the father.

But Joey, I don’t think Ross wants me to move into his apartment and disrupt his life like that. I mean—(Ross turns to her with wishful eyes.)—Or he does.

No I-I-I would love to be around for you and the baby. And we-we can just try it like on a temporary basis.

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Ross is directly addressing Rachel's concern about moving into his apartment, making the current exchange a private discussion between the two parents about their living arrangements.


Well, then, I might as well offer to stay.

(to Chandler and Monica) Hey, does anybody else feel bad about Ross?

(to Joey) Well he’s probably mad after you called him this morning to borrow his goggles.

Explanation: Joey is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because he initiated the previous turn and was just directly addressed by Chandler, who made a statement about Joey's actions that does not require an immediate verbal response.


What? Wait! Why…why do you get the story?

I don't know. I haven't been out on a date in so long.

Phoebe, you had a date three days ago.

That wasn’t a date! That was, that was just friends getting together…(quietly) having sex.

Okay. Okay, see? I get the phone.

broke with Tag a week ago.

Yeah! (Breaking up) And until now, I didn’t think I’d love again.

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Rachel's last utterance is a self-referential, dramatic statement about her own feelings, not a direct address or question to Phoebe, allowing Rachel to continue her point.


Ross you’re not listening to me, I don’t have time to stop.

What? (to Sophie) Sophie, does she have ten minutes?

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Ross's question to Sophie about whether "she" (Rachel) has ten minutes directly challenges Rachel's previous statement that she doesn't have time, prompting Rachel to re-engage in the discussion about her schedule.


Hey Pheebs, could you please not put your feet up on my new…(On Rachel’s glare)…old sheet?

My apothecary table!!!

Ross, where did you get this?!

Of course not, it smells like wine, which you spilled! And thanks for wrecking my sheet by the way.

Oh Ross, calm down, I’ll give you the 80 cents. (Ross glares at Rachel)

Explanation: Ross is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Phoebe has just offered a direct resolution to his complaint about the sheet by offering him money, concluding her turn in that specific exchange.


Oh, I would love some. But y'know what? Y'know what? Let's not drink it here. I'm feeling kinda crazy. You wanna go to Newark?

Uh, okay, yeah, we could do that, but before we head off to the murder capital of the North-East, I was, uh, kinda wanting to run something by you. Y'know how we were, uh, y'know, talking before about, uh, relationships and stuff? (Uncorks the wine) Well-

Oh God, Ross, I cannot do this.

Okay, quick and painful. (Starts to cork the wine)

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT; Ross is directly responding to Rachel's previous statement about not being able to "do this" and is preparing to continue the conversation, indicating it is his turn to speak.


What are you guys gonna do?

Well, I guess we just find a divorce lawyer? (Looks at Ross.)

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Rachel's question about finding a divorce lawyer is directed at Ross, not Monica.


(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?

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Ross's surprised question "And she just gave you this?" is a reaction to the unexpected information and the physical object Rachel handed him, not an immediate prompt for further verbal explanation from her.


What?! Look, we’re trying to rebuild a relationship here, right. How am I supposed to do that here, without being totally honest with each other?

Look, Ross look, I’m on board about this totally honesty thing, I am, just not about stuff that’s gonna get you in trouble.

Yeah, but don’t you think....

Explanation: Joey is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Ross is in the middle of an utterance, indicating he intends to continue his turn and Joey should wait for him to finish his thought.


No, sweetie, I-I trust you.

So, if-if I mess this up, there’s nothing else for dessert?

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: While Monica was just reassuring Rachel, Rachel's follow-up question about the dessert consequences is a general inquiry that doesn't specifically require Monica's immediate response.


I don't know, I'm one sorry polentologist. (Stops reading.) All right Joey, we get it. (To Chandler) I'm sorry.

Oh no! No-no, keep reading! The good part's coming up. Keep going.

Explanation: Ross is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Joey directly addressed him, urging him to continue reading the story after Ross had stopped.


Sure, what do you want to see?

I don't know, umm…

Explanation: Joey is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, as he just asked Ross a direct question, and Ross's subsequent hesitation indicates he is struggling to formulate an answer, creating an opening for Joey to prompt or offer suggestions.


(to the new Hugsy) You're not the same!

You know, it's a lot less surprising to do that after I've buzzed you into the building.

So Phoebe, why are there men's shoes by the door.

monica addressed phoebe, not joey (ground truth)

Explanation: BYSTANDER; Monica has just initiated a new exchange by directly asking Phoebe about men's shoes, which does not involve Joey.


Oh but Joey, I have to go. There’s no room for a baby here.

No room? It’s a baby. It’s like this big. (Holds his hands about a foot apart.) Y’know, I mean you-you could you could put it over here. (A desk.) Or-or-or we could put it right here. (The chair.) Aw, it’s cute, right? Or-or we could put it over here. (By the bathroom door.) You wouldn’t even notice it. Where’s the baby? (Mumbles that it’s over in the corner.)

Honey, it’s not just a matter of where you put it. I mean a baby changes everything. They cry all the time. I mean imagine bringing home some girl and trying to score when there’s a screaming baby around.

I could use a challenge! It’s getting pretty easy.

Honey, it’s so sweet that you want me to stay, but I-I can’t do that to you. I mean it would disrupt your entire life.

Explanation: Joey is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, and Rachel's most recent utterance is a concluding statement directly addressing him, explaining her decision not to stay, which doesn't require a further immediate response from Joey.


No. But it’s okay, I’ll just put out pickles or something.

(answering the phone) (whispering) Ross, thank God.

Pheebs? What, why are you whispering?

I ate a bug.

Explanation: BYSTANDER: Phoebe is engaged in a private phone conversation with Ross, and her last utterance was a direct response to Ross's question, not involving Carol.


What a beautiful night to be running around the street, looking for tickets. And the wind sure made it fun.

Phoebe, we lost half of them.

So, what? Monica, we have the winning ticket! My psychic said I  was gonna win, remember?

As a matter of fact she said that's how I am going to die. (pause ) So, excuse me for being a little skittish.

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT; Phoebe's last utterance is a personal, somewhat dramatic explanation for her "skittish" behavior, concluding her point about the psychic and not directly posing a question or requiring an immediate verbal response from Monica.


Yes it's true.

Okay, but if it only happened that one time, how come we found your underwear in our apartment the other day?

Ahh—oy! That was the underwear I was wearing that night in London. Right Monica?

I guess I wanted to keep it (Pause) as a souvenir.

No! If anyone's a sex addict here, it's Monica! Yeah. Yeah. She has been trying to get me back in the sack ever since London!

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT; however, Joey just made a strong accusation *about* her rather than asking a direct question *to* her, allowing for a pause before she might choose to respond.


Dinner is at four, we'll never gonna make it back.

So we'll leave before it's over, we'll be back in time.

You say that now, but it could take us a long time to get back home. Plus Joey could get lost and and they could have to page us to go pick him up.

joey was addressed by chandler and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: Joey is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Chandler's last utterance directly references Joey and his potential to get lost, requiring a response from him.


Uh, if I were omnipotent for a day, I'd..

See, there's always one guy. (Mocking)

Hey, Joey, what would you do if you were

Probably kill myself!

Hey, if Little Joey's dead, then I got no

Explanation: Chandler is a BYSTANDER because Monica redirected the conversation by asking Joey a new question, and Joey is currently elaborating on his answer, making Chandler not the active participant in the current exchange.


Chandler, Heckles was a nut case.

Our trains are on the same track, ok? Yeah, sure, I'm coming up 30 yearsbehind him, but the stops are all the same. Bitter Town. Aloneville. Hermit Junction.

All right, you know what we gotta do? We gotta get you outta here. Come on, I'llbuy you breakfast, let's go.

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, Chandler should speak because Joey just directly proposed a plan to get him out of the apartment and offered to buy him breakfast, requiring a response.


Look, it's a nice gesture, it is. But it just feels like--

We're just tryin' to do a nice thing here.

Ross, you have to understand that your nice thing makes us feel this big.

ross was addressed by rachel and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: Ross is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Rachel directly addressed him and commented on his "nice thing," requiring a response from him.


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.

I'm gonna do it.

All right, Rachel, I know-I know you think I'm crazy, please, before you tell him you love him, just-just try to find one person who thinks this is a good idea. Because I bet you, you can't.

All right, fine.

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Rachel's "All right, fine" serves as a concluding remark to Monica's challenge, indicating the end of that specific exchange and leaving no direct question or prompt for Monica to immediately respond to.


This is not, what Im wearing. Im ovulating and Chandlers  gonna be home any minute, so I thought we would try before dinner.

Believe me, Chandler and I have not seen each other in over a  week. Well probably be the first ones there.

Actually, in Oklahoma smoking is legal in all commune areas  and offices with fewer than fifteen people.

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Chandler's recent utterance is a factual statement about smoking laws in Oklahoma that does not directly address her previous personal comments or require a response from her.


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

I’m gonna be on two TV shows!

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, as she was in the middle of telling a story when Joey interrupted her with his own news, creating an opportunity for her to reclaim her turn or respond.


Oh no, no, I’ll be there too.

Okay so, we’ll just come up with some kind of signal if it’s going well you can take off.

No Phoebe! I just need you there for support. I haven’t told him I’m pregnant yet.

Oh. Why not?

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

What Phoebe? Wait! One time he caught me smoking he said if he ever saw me doing that again he’d make me eat the entire pack.

Wow! Oh well, I will be there!

rachel did not speak next (ground truth)

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Phoebe's "Wow! Oh well, I will be there!" is a concluding statement reacting to Rachel's story and confirming her support, not a new question or prompt for Rachel to continue speaking.


I don’t know. A month?

Emily has probably been planning it since she was five! Ever since the first time she took a pillowcase and hung it off the back of her head. That’s what we did! We dreamed about the perfect wedding, and the perfect place, with the perfect four-tiered wedding cake (Starting to cry), with the little people on top. (Ross gets thrown a box of Kleenex from the bathroom and he gives her one.) Thanks. But the most important part is that we had the perfect guy who understood just how important all that other stuff was.

ross was addressed by monica and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: Ross is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT; Monica just thanked him for the Kleenex he provided, and her subsequent emotional reflection about the "perfect guy who understood" invites a comforting or acknowledging response from him.
