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

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

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

It's okay, these things happen.

But they shouldn't happen, you know what, you're, you're in a terrible, terrible business. Oh God, I don't wanna be the person who makes your face look like that.

I'm, I'm okay. See. (tries to smile, but fails horribly)

Oh, now you're sad and creepy, oh. You know what, I, I'm sorry I quit, okay, I just quit.

No! No, no you can't quit! You're the best agent I ever had! Look Pheebs, rejection is part being an actor, you can't take it personally.

phoebe did not speak next (ground truth)

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, as Joey is directly addressing her with a strong plea not to quit and an explanation about rejection, but he has just completed his persuasive argument without posing a direct question, allowing her a moment to process or formulate a response.


Hey Joey! Aww, you remembered even though you're a big star!

Aw, come on! It'll be years before I forget you!

Joey, what's it like on a movie set, huh? Do you have a dressing room? Do you have a chair with your name on it?

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT; Monica is excitedly asking Joey a series of rapid-fire questions about his movie set experience, which, despite being addressed to him, might be more of an expressive outpouring of awe.


Yeah, it is.

You know what, everything's gonna be okay.

(answering phone) Hello. Hi, Janice! Can you hold on for a second? Okay. (to Monica and Rachel) Okay, what do I do?

If-if-if we ever did what you did a man would never call.

Oh wait, you know what, I got it, I got it, pretend like you just woke up, okay, that will throw her off. Be sleepy.

chandler did not speak next (ground truth)

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, Chandler should stay silent because Monica just provided him with direct instructions on how to handle his phone call with Janice, expecting him to now execute the advice.


Why Scott doesn't want to sleep with me. It's 'cause I'm not sexy enough.

Phoebe, that's crazy. When I first met you, you know what I said to Chandler? I said, "Excellent butt, great rack."

phoebe was addressed by joey and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because she initiated the topic about her insecurities, and Joey just directly addressed her with a compliment in response to her concerns.


(angrily) I don’t think that’s what they were talking about Joe!!

What a great night, Chandler can’t do it, these guys kissed… (Points to Ross and Rachel.)

phoebe addressed ross, not chandler (ground truth)

Explanation: BYSTANDER; Phoebe is making a general summary of the night, mentioning Chandler in passing before shifting focus and pointing to Ross and Rachel, indicating the conversation is not directed at him.


(sits down at the table) Oh, eh, just thinking about Emily getting married tomorrow. (Joey panics.)

Ooh, Ross, look! Look! (Points behind Ross.)

Right over there! Right there! Look-look-look!

What am I looking at?

(to the rest of the gang) Somebody help me out here!

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Joey's most recent utterance is a general plea to "the rest of the gang" for help, not a direct question or statement specifically addressed to Ross.


Come on up. I'm gonna get the rest of his stuff together. [walks in his room]

Ok, we can do this now, can't we Ben? Yes we can, yes we can. [finishes the diaper] There. I did it. I did it. Look at that, oh, stays on and everything. Hi.

I'm sorry, what did you just say? Did you just say hi? Oh my God, Ross, Ross, Ben just said 'Hi'.

Great, great, and I miss that too, I miss everything.

Oh, I'm sorry, I guess I just bring it out in him.

Explanation: Ross is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Rachel's lighthearted, self-deprecating comment "Oh, I'm sorry, I guess I just bring it out in him" is a response to his previous statement that does not directly prompt him for a further reply.


Monica... [He re-enters the bedroom and Monica jumps on the bed, trying to cover it.] Hey Mon, I have a question. Is Leroy the baddest man in the whole damn town or the fattest man in the whole damn town?

Baddest. Otherwise the song would be Fat Fat Leroy Brown.

What're you doing?

Just waiting for you sweetie.

Are you remaking the bed?

monica did not speak next (ground truth)

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Richard's direct question "Are you remaking the bed?" is an observation of Monica's suspicious actions, and her silence indicates she is caught off guard or her actions.


Well, what’d you do?

I did it anyway.

Phoebe! Come on! Let’s go! (Knocks on her door.) Come on! (Phoebe enters with guitar and not ready to go.) Why aren’t you dressed yet?!

I’m sorry, but I just wrote the best dance song for your wedding. Check this out. (Gets ready to play.)

(grabs the guitar away from her) No, Phoebe, I’ll tell you what, if you get ready now I’ll let you play it at the wedding.

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT as Monica just made a direct offer to her about playing the song at the wedding, which requires Phoebe to respond.


(to Ross) Don’t try to sway her. (To Monica) (Softly) I’m your only chance to have a baby. Okay, let’s go.

We’ll each tell you how we came up with the joke and then you decide which one of us is telling the truth—me.

Okay, Chandler, you go first.

Okay, I thought of the joke two months ago at lunch with Steve.

Oh, wait, is he the guy I met at Christmas?

Explanation: Ross is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT in the joke-telling game, but Monica's question about Steve is directed specifically at Chandler, making Ross a bystander to that particular exchange.


Hey Joey, come taste this.

What is it?

Remember that guy that gave me a bad review? Well… (Feeds him a spoonful of what she’s cooking.) I’m getting my revenge!

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Monica directly addressed Joey, he responded, and she just fed him the food she was explaining, which naturally prompts his reaction or comment on the taste or her revenge plan.


'Cause, I'm a stupid, stupid man.

Hey, Ross, want some cider?

No. (to Rachel) So, um, let's see your pretty close, huh. Make-up's on, hair's done.

Explanation: Joey is a BYSTANDER because Ross explicitly rejected Joey's offer and then immediately turned his attention to Rachel, initiating a new topic with her.


(to Chandler) Wait-wait, so, you get to be my best man twice and I never get to be yours at all?

Oh no-no-no, you—yeah, of course you get to be my best man.

(impatiently tapping Chandler on the shoulder) What about me?! You-you just said I could!

joey addressed chandler, not ross (ground truth)

Explanation: Ross is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Joey has just directly interrupted the previous exchange to impatiently address Chandler with a question, shifting the immediate conversational turn to Chandler.


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

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

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Rachel should speak because Ross just directly responded to her question and accusation, continuing their heated exchange about her job.


I got good. I played this game all day and now I rule at it! They  should change the name of it to Ms. Chandler. (Pause) Although I-I hope they don’t.

while I went off to work like some kind of chump?!

Uh-huh, and I got all the top ten scores, I erased Phoebe off the  board! High five! (Holds up his hand to give Monica a high five, only he can’t  straighten his fingers.)

What is the matter with your hand?

Well I’ve been playing it for like eight hours, it’ll loosen  up. Come on, check out the scores. Oh, and also look at the initials, they’re dirty  words.

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Chandler's last utterance is an invitation for her to look at the game scores and initials, not a direct question requiring a verbal response.


(announcer voice) All right! Let’s play Bamboozled!

Yeah, isn’t that a cool name?

All right. Uhh, okay. Our first contestant is Ross Geller. Why don’t you tell us a little something about you Ross?

ross was addressed by joey and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Joey directly addressed Ross by name and asked him a question about himself, prompting Ross to respond.


Well, thank you for lunch.

What? Wait a minute, I didn’t pay, I thought you paid!

So apparently we just don’t pay for food anymore. (Rachel laughs then Chandler notices something.) Do you see what I see?

She could be out of town. Maybe she’ll be gone for months.

Explanation: Chandler is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Rachel's utterance is a complete speculative statement in response to Chandler's previous observation, not a direct question requiring an immediate verbal reply.


[in phone] So, Spock actually hugs his father?

Hey, do you guys have...[sees Ross, pauses]...hi.

I uh, I just got back from uh, from Julie's.

No, no, uh, it's not what you think. It's um the other thing.

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Rachel should speak because Ross's last utterance is a direct, somewhat defensive clarification addressed to her, inviting her response or further inquiry about his visit with Julie.


I’m checking out the restaurant with Pete.

Ohh, Monica, I am so excited for you.

Okay, but wouldn’t it be easier if you had to tell me something that you could tell me.

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because she just expressed excitement to Monica, and Monica's subsequent utterance is directed at "you," referring to Phoebe, inviting her to respond.


All right people, we're in trouble here. We've only got 12 hours and 36 minutesleft. Move, move, move!

Monica, I feel like you should have German subtitles.

Joey, speed it up!

Explanation: BYSTANDER. Monica is directly addressing Joey with a command to speed up, and Chandler's previous comment was a general observation to Monica, not part of the current exchange with Joey.


(looking at her truffle) Look at it, isn’t it beautiful?

Yeah, yeah, what is it?

It’s a truffle. It’s got all of these layers. First there’s a layer of ladyfingers, then a layer of jam, then custard, which I made from scratch, [Joey and Ross make impressed faces] then raspberries, more ladyfingers, then beef sauteed with peas and onions, [Joey and Ross look like something’s wrong.] then a little more custard, and then bananas, and then I just put some whipped cream on top!

W-What was the one right before bananas?

The beef? Yeah, that was weird to me, too. But then, y’know, I thought “well, there’s mincemeat pie,” I mean that’s an English dessert, these people just put very strange things in their food, y’know. [To Joey] Oh! by the way, can I borrow some Rum from your place?

(teasingly) And while I’m gone don’t you boys sneak a taste.

Explanation: Ross is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Rachel's most recent utterance directly addresses "you boys," including him, with a teasing instruction that invites a playful response or acknowledgment.


Please, Ross, you-you got hurt playing badminton with my dad.

And is a hum, kinda like a scruddle?

rachel did not speak next (ground truth)

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Rachel is an active participant, but Ross's rhetorical and dismissive question "And is a hum, kinda like a scruddle?" does not require an immediate response from her.


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

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

I’m getting married!!!! I’m gonna be a bride!!!! (Someone else yells at her.) No, I will not shut up because I’m engaged! (He yells again.) Ohh, big talk! Huh, why don’t you come over here and say that to me?! Huh, buddy?! Yeah, my fiancee will kick your ass! (Chandler starts to look worried.) Come on, apartment 20! Apartment 20!

monica addressed chandler, not phoebe (ground truth)

Explanation: BYSTANDER. Monica is engaged in an aggressive exchange with an unseen person from apartment 20, involving Chandler, making Phoebe a passive observer of this outburst.


It's worse. The only thing that's getting me through is knowing that I'm gonna be seeing you soon. I think I may even try to get out of here early.

No! No-no-no-no-no-no. It sounds like they really need you down there.

ross was addressed by monica and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: Ross is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Monica's question to Chandler, "Well, are you just hanging out with Ross?", directly refers to Ross's current activity and presence, inviting his input.


. (Joey  enters.) I’ll call you back.

Who was that?

It’s just the pizza place.

You hung up on the pizza place? I don’t hang up on your friends.

I’m sorry honey, I’m just having a, having a rough day.

Oh you really, you really just don’t want to hear about it.

Then why did I ask?

Okay, it’s just—and this is really embarrassing—but  lately with this whole pregnancy thing I’m just finding myself…how do I put this  umm, erotically charged.

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Rachel is still in the process of explaining her "embarrassing" and "erotically charged" situation, which Joey prompted her to elaborate on, indicating it is her turn to finish her thought.


I licked my arm, what?

It's breast milk.

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, as Ross just directly answered her question about what she licked, and his statement does not require a further immediate response from her.


Yeah. What-what should I do?

Well Ross, it seems pretty clear. I mean what’s more important? What people think or how you feel, huh? Ross, you gotta follow your heart.

Explanation: Ross is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Joey directly addressed him by name, offered advice in response to Ross's earlier question, and ended his turn, inviting Ross to acknowledge or respond to the counsel.


(entering) Joey, do you have a minute?

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

Oh, Joey, I have such a problem!

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

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, and Joey is currently responding to her statement about having a problem by explaining his own busy situation, indicating he is not finished with his turn.


And um, what-what is that Ross?

The physical act of love. (Hisses at her.)

(laughs) What?! Are you crazy?

Oh so-so you weren't trying to entice me just now with your-your nakedness?

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT as Ross just directly questioned her about her actions, continuing their personal exchange.


(very serious) It's 2101 and I am not amused. (pause). Ok, the bride and groom have a few words they'd like to say. (Everyone sits and Phoebe gets up)

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: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT. Monica has just sarcastically "given" Phoebe the headset and a stack of messages to return, effectively putting Phoebe in a position of having tasks rather than continuing her speech.


It's okay. Chandler, are you afraid of me or something?

Do you want me to be afraid of you?

Of course not. I mean gosh, Chandler what you did, it's, it's a wonderful thing and I really appreciate it. I know I have this weird thing where I want everything to be in the perfect place, but I'd never expect you to worry about that.

Oh well you're the best. You come here to me.

while he was naked?

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Chandler should stay silent because Monica's last utterance, "while he was naked?", is a rhetorical question or a self-reflection on her previous statement, not a direct prompt for Chandler to respond.


(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!

What?!! (He turns around and stares at Chandler who's silently pleading with Joey to go along with it.) No I'm not!!

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Monica should stay silent because Joey's defensive reaction was a direct response to Phoebe's accusation, making Phoebe the expected next speaker in that specific exchange.


Joey and my friend were out last night and having dinner and she reaches over and takes a few of his fries...

(mad and pointing a finger to himself) JOEY DOESN’T SHARE FOOD!

Well, I still think that it’s a stupid reason not to call someone again. You are calling her! And if you need to, just get an extra plate of fries for the table!

(he thinks a little, considering the option and seems to be quite satisfied) I like that! A sharing buffer! Yeah! I’ll order some extra fries! Maybe a plate of onion rings. Yeah. And a shrimp cocktail. And some buffalo wings. Maybe an individual pizza, uh? And some mozzarella sticks. (he looks absorbed in his food thoughts) What were we talking about?

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Phoebe should stay silent because Joey has acknowledged her advice and is now absorbed in his own thoughts about food, ending with a rhetorical question that doesn't require her immediate response.


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

Well then, you should look with us.

Chandler, aren't you worried about what to get Monica for Christmas?

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

Chandler, that's not enough. I mean what if she gets you a great present, two medium presents, and a bunch of little presents? And you've just gotten her one great present? I mean that's just gonna make her feel bad. Why would you do that to her Chandler? Why? Why?

Explanation: Chandler is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Rachel has just delivered a lengthy, emotionally charged speech directly to him, ending with rhetorical questions that are meant to emphasize her point about his present idea for Monica rather than to elicit an immediate verbal response from him.


Ross, you remember Susan.

How could I forget?

(they shake hands) Hello, Susan. (To Carol) Good shake. Good shake. So, uh, we're just waiting for...?

..Dr. Oberman. Okay. And is he-

-she, of course, she- uh- familiar with our.. special situation?

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT. Ross's phrasing "of course, she-" suggests he is continuing his own thought process or implying the answer to his question, rather than waiting for an immediate verbal response from.


I’m gonna go across the hall to check on the yams.

No! No! No! No sweetie! No! Not like that! We’re not at a barn dance. You’ve gotta—you wanna fold them like swans. Like I showed you at Christmas time, remember?

Yeah, it all just came screaming back to me. (Monica exits.) (To Chandler) So how’s the game?

Is your team winning hon?

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Monica's direct question "Is your team winning hon?" is addressed specifically to Chandler, expecting his response.


Hey, Ross, I just wanted to apologize... (looks at laptop screen)..don't tell me you actually made those gay pictures of me?

uhu uhu, check this out. (Chandler sits down and looks at laptop screen)

Explanation: Chandler is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT who initiated the exchange, and Ross's "check this out" directly prompts him to react to the content on the laptop.


You’re kidding! And he plays rugby?! That’s so funny. (Realises) Ohh! I see how you did that. All right.

of me playing rugby with him was like hilarious. So I’m gonna show her how tough I really am!

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Ross is concluding his narrative about his plan to impress 'her,' which doesn't directly solicit a response from Phoebe.


All right, all right, all right, all right, you wanna know what I do when I take resume shots?

Borrow money from me?

Okay, first—first of all, you want to make it look spontaneous. I look down (Looks down), look down, keep looking down; then I look up. (Looks up and smiles.) See? All right, now you try. Look down (Chandler looks down), you’re looking down, keep looking down…

Why is there jelly on your shoe?

I had a donut. (Chandler nods.)

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT; Chandler just received a direct answer from Joey regarding his question about the jelly, and the immediate exchange is resolved, leaving the floor open for Joey to continue his instructions about the resume shot.


Joey? Could you get that? (There is no answer and she goes and opens the  door to Joey.) What are you doing here? I thought you were in your room?

No, I’m picking you up for our date. These are for you. (Hands her  some flowers.)

Ohh, Lilies. Joey, they’re my favorite. Thank you.

And, a brownie! (Hands her a bag with the brownie in it.) Well, half a  brownie. Actually, it’s just bag. It’s been a long walk from the flower shop and  I was startin’ to feel faint so…

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, Rachel is an active participant in the ongoing exchange with Joey, who just gave her another gift and offered a humorous explanation that directly invites her reaction.


I'm telling you, something's wrong! My brother does not stay out all night.

Maybe we should check the trash chute.

Ross couldn't fit down the trash chute.

Just, y'know out.

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because she just commented on Ross's whereabouts, and his vague response "Just, y'know out" invites further inquiry or reaction from her.


I… I do, I do not love Rachel. I’m gonna tell her right now about the whole thing so we can get this marriage annulled as fast as possible. Okay? Would I do that if I loved her?

I’ve never been more convinced of your love for her.

I do not have feelings for Rachel! Okay?! (He goes into her apartment.)

ross addressed rachel, not phoebe (ground truth)

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Ross made a definitive statement and then immediately exited the room to confront Rachel, effectively ending the group discussion and shifting the focus away from Phoebe.


(on phone) Hello? (Listens) What are you talking about? The audition’s not ‘til 500! (Chandler suddenly remembers and looks at the unfinished message then tries to sneak over and finish it as Joey listens.) Well, nobody told me! (Listens) Who’d you talk to? (Listens and turns around to see Chandler trying to finish the message.) Nevermind! (Hangs up.)

You mean you didn’t get it from this?

The allergy guy got the part! Thanks!

Well, maybe we can fix it y’know? Maybe we can send him some-some big-big flowers and scare him!

How could you do this to me Chandler?! This part could’ve turned my whole career around!

Explanation: Chandler is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT; Joey has just delivered a highly emotional and accusatory statement directly to him, expressing the profound impact of Chandler's mistake, which doesn't immediately require a verbal response but rather a moment for the accusation to land.


No you guys, I am not getting in a car with him, you’ll have to think of something else.

Oh good, oh Joey and Chandler are back.

phoebe addressed joey, not rachel (ground truth)

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Phoebe's utterance is an announcement about Joey and Chandler's return, which is not a direct address to Rachel or a continuation of her previous statement.


Huh? <i>Days of our Lives</i> picked up my option.

So uh, which one is mine?

Whichever one you want, man. Whichever one you want. [Chandler starts to sit in one of the chairs] Not that one.

chandler was addressed by joey and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT; Joey's last utterance "Not that one" is a direct instruction and correction to Chandler, requiring a response or acknowledgment from him.


He's right, man. Please. Move on. Go to China. Eat Chinese food.

Course there, they just call it food.

Explanation: Ross is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Joey's advice to "Move on" and "Go to China" is clearly directed at him, making him the subject of the current exchange.


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

Yes talk to her. Be a man.

Explanation: Joey is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT; Chandler's utterance "Yes talk to her.


Ohh! So you're 5639?!

That's it! Thanks Pheebs!

(to Joey) Ooh, do you want to talk to Chandler?

(To Phoebe) Is that Joey?! (She nods yes) Let me talk to him!

(To Phoebe) Y'know what? I have been trying to apologize to him all week! If he's not gonna let me do it on the phone, I'm gonna go down there and do it in person.

Explanation: Joey is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Chandler's most recent utterance is directed at Phoebe, explaining his intentions regarding Joey, rather than directly addressing Joey for a response.


You told this guy that I was looking for a fling?! You don’t tell the guy that!

Oh, between you telling him that I wanted to have a fling and me putting out on the first date—oh, he’s so gonna get the wrong idea.

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Rachel is expressing her frustration and concern directly to Joey, elaborating on the consequences of his actions and her own, indicating she is not finished with her turn.


Look, I'm sorry to hear about your tragedy, ok? But the swings are perfectly    safe, and besides Emma loves them. You know what, you should come with us and    you'll see!

Ross, those things go like 40 miles an hour! Ok? When you're... and    there is that moment when you are at the top, when you just don't know if you're    gonna return back to earth!

ross was addressed by rachel and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: Ross is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Rachel directly addressed him and countered his previous statement about the swings' safety, requiring a response to her concerns.


Oh my God!

If I have to I'll, I'll do all again , I'll do the 4 o'clock feeding thing, I'll go to the P.T.A. meetings, I'll coach the soccer team.

Yeah, if I have to. Monica, I don't wanna lose you, so if I have to do it all over again, then I will.

You're the most wonderful man. And if you hadn't of said 'if I have to' like seventeen times, then I'd be saying 'okay, let's do it.'

But you're not.

Oh my God, I can't believe what I'm getting ready to say. I wanna have a baby, but I don't wanna have one with someone who doesn't really wanna have one.

richard did not speak next (ground truth)

Explanation: Richard is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, and Monica has just made a highly emotional and vulnerable declaration about her desire for a baby, creating a moment for her own processing or for Richard to absorb the gravity of her words before responding.


Yeah, this is Tag. Tag, this is Phoebe. Phoebe, can I see you for a second? (Goes into office.)

Oh, you like that? You should hear my phone number.

(grabbing Phoebe) Okay. We’ll be right back. (They go into her office and she closes the door.)

So you hired yourself a little treat did ya?

All right I know, I know how it looks Pheebs, but I’m telling you…

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Rachel is in the middle of an ongoing explanation directly to Phoebe, indicating she intends to continue her thought.


Nothing, I just like to go like this. (Does it again.)

(entering from the bathrooms) Hey Chandler, what are you doing tonight?

Uh why, do you have a lecture?

Then free as a bird. What’s up?

My dad wanted to know if you wanted to play racquetball with us.

Explanation: Chandler is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT as Ross just directly invited him to play racquetball, and the silence allows Chandler a moment to process the invitation before formulating his response.


Okay. Head Ross! Head Ross! Head Ross!

Right! Right! I just—I want you to know that I’m going to be there through this whole thing, okay? Okay? The doctor’s appointments, the uh, the Lamaze classes, uh baby-proofing the apartment—Although we could probably worry about that ‘til after we get married.

Well yeah, I think we should get married.

What, because that’s your answer to everything?

No, because that’s the right thing to do.

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Rachel is an active participant in a direct exchange with Ross, who just made a definitive statement justifying his desire to get married, which does not directly prompt an immediate verbal response from Rachel.


(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!

Explanation: Chandler is a BYSTANDER as Phoebe is enthusiastically demonstrating different types of ice, not directing her show-and-tell to him or inviting his immediate response.


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: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because she just made an utterance, and Chandler's follow-up question, "haven’t you wanted a kid like forever?", is directly addressed to her, prompting a reply.


No, we only went out once.

You dated her!

All right, well why don’t I go out with an ex-boyfriend and do Joey a favor?!

joey was addressed by monica and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Monica directly addresses Joey by proposing to "do Joey a favor," which prompts him to respond to her suggestion.


Yeah, I'm kinda wishing everyone wasn't here right now.

Honey! Do you know that none of that stuff came from me?! I mean I never said I wanted to have babies and get married right now!

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, Chandler should speak because Monica directly addressed him as "Honey" with a defensive statement that likely requires his response or clarification.


Wow, Monica, I love that, you really have faith in me. Thank you. Technical question, how do you know when uh, the butter’s done?

Well, it’s done about two minutes before it looks like that.

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, as Monica just directly answered Rachel's specific technical question about when the butter is done, completing the information exchange.


Ohh! (walking away from the window) Phoebe, this is all your fault! Now he loves her, he’s gonna marry her, and this is all your fault.

You said it was okay!

You said she was bald!!

Phoebe, we can’t, we just can’t just let it happen! Okay, we have to do something! We have to break them up! Okay? Just go in there and like, shave her head! You owe me one bald girl!!

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Rachel's final utterance is a strong, declarative demand ("You owe me one bald girl!!") that concludes her turn with a dramatic statement rather than an open-ended question, allowing a moment for Phoebe to process the extreme suggestion.


Let me see that! (Grabs the invitation and reads it.) Oh man!

The only superpower you have is a slightly heightened sense of smell. (Hands him the jacket and walks away.)

(entering) Hey! Uh, Monica? Chandler? Can I talk to you guys for a second?

joey addressed monica, not chandler (ground truth)

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT; Joey just asked Chandler and Monica if he could talk to them for a second, indicating he intends to continue speaking to elaborate on his request.


All right. Well listen, if you see Joey will you just tell him uh…tell him I miss him. (Exits and Joey enters.)

Yeah, a naked bagel game? (Picks up his dropped bagel.) (To Chandler) Dude, I don’t know. That’s a pretty small hole.

I can’t! Y’know? You guys don’t know what it’s like to put yourself out there like that and just get shot down.

Explanation: BYSTANDER: Rachel should stay silent because she has exited the scene and is no longer present in the conversation between Joey and Chandler.


(in his British accent) I’m sorry, I’ve got plans with my sister.

(in accent) Right, will you excuse us for one moment? (Takes Monica aside.) (In his normal voice.) What are you doing?

(normal voice) Oh, you can have an accent and I can’t?! (To an exiting student in accent.) Top ‘O the morning to ya laddies!

Just please stop!

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT; Ross's direct command "Just please stop!" is a clear instruction for her to cease her current action, implying she should not continue speaking in the accent.


Couldn't you just stay like this forever? (His eyes snap open.) Chandler! Couldn't you just stay here forever?

Yeah, here, somewhere else, y'know where-where ever. (Gets up.)

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm cool. Casual.

What-what are you doing?

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Monica directly asked Chandler "What-what are you doing?", prompting him to explain his actions.


(entering) What's going on?

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

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Rachel directly responded to Ross's opening question and expressed excitement about him wanting the apartment, inviting his further engagement.


uhu uhu, check this out. (Chandler sits down and looks at laptop screen)

Huh! So that's what I would look like if I worked out... and was being serviced by a policeman. You're not actually going to send these out are ya?

Eh..actually no, I don't need to because your little "Ross is dead" joke didn't work, ok, there were no responses. Nobody posted anything on the website, nobody called my parents, so the joke my friend is on you. Nobody called, nobody wrote anything, nobody cares that I'm dead. (silence) Oh my God! Nobody cares that I'm dead!?

Explanation: Chandler is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Ross's emotional outburst, "Oh my God! Nobody cares that I'm dead!?", is a direct reaction to the "Ross is dead" joke Chandler made, implicitly inviting a response from him.


Fajitas! Be careful, very hot plate, very hot plate!!

Ross, you don't even have oven mitts on!

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, Ross should speak because Rachel directly addressed him with a direct observation about his lack of oven mitts, prompting him to respond to her comment.


Y'know what, he’s right. There’s something like uh, ammonia in that, that like kills the pain.

If you want some privacy you can use my hole.

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Phoebe is an active participant because Joey's highly unusual and potentially humorous statement, "If you want some privacy you can use my hole," is a general remark that naturally invites a reaction or clarification from anyone present in the group.


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.

See, now it’s weird again.

Explanation: Ross is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Joey's last utterance, "See, now it’s weird again," is a direct reaction to Ross's previous statement and shifts the focus back to Joey's perception, indicating it's not Ross's immediate turn to speak.


, and you didn't even kiss her.

I tell people secrets. It makes them like me.

Phoebe! You're sick, you shouldn't play. You should just go home, get in bed, and stay there.

phoebe was addressed by monica and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Monica directly addressed her by name and gave her instructions about her health, prompting a response.


Hey Ross, I'm aware of what I owe.

Ok, well then get some sense. I mean it took you what, 10 years to get that job, who knows how long it's gonna be till you get another.

Look, I don't wanna hear this right now.

Huh, I'm just saying...

Well don't just say.

Explanation: Ross is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, and Joey's direct command, "Well don't just say," explicitly tells Ross to stop speaking, indicating Joey is shutting down the conversation.


I can't believe it's Christmas already. Ya know, I mean, one day your eatin' turkey, the next thing ya know, your lords are a-leapin' and you geese are a-layin'.

Which is why geese are so relaxed this time of year.

Hey Rach. I, uh, got you a little present. [Rachel is not impressed]. . I'll open it. It's a Slinky! Remember, huh. [sings] <i>Walks down stairs, alone or in pairs, everyone knows it's</i>. . . just a big spring. Alright, you still mad at me becuase of the whole. . .

ross addressed rachel, not chandler (ground truth)

Explanation: BYSTANDER; Ross is directly addressing Rachel and attempting to reconcile with her, making their exchange a private one that does not involve Chandler.


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

Do you feel better?

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

Just one thing umm…

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but she has physically moved away to go to the bathroom, indicating she is temporarily unavailable to respond to Ross's new utterance.


No it’s not! You want it, you’re gonna have to win it!

All right, so are we not having dinner at all?

Come on Phoebe, let’s go! Come on, it’s time to get serious, huddle up. Joey, keep your head in the game.

monica addressed joey, not rachel (ground truth)

Explanation: Rachel is a BYSTANDER because Monica is rallying Phoebe and Joey for a game, and Rachel's previous question about dinner was not addressed in Monica's current instructions.


and that you flirted with every guy in the Tri-State area!

Chandler! (Joey and his grandmother shush them and wave them away, which they do.) Okay, let me get this straight, it's okay for you to flirt, but not for me.

Oh, I'm so glad we cleared that up. Look, I'm sorry, some things are different for men and for women.

Go on, teach me something about men and women.

Okay, I've already taught you so much already, but whatever. See when you flirt with a guy you think, "I'm just flirting, no big deal." But the guy is thinking, "Finally! Somebody who wants to sleep with me!"

Well that's pathetic!

chandler did not speak next (ground truth)

Explanation: Chandler is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT as Monica's "Well that's pathetic!" is a direct, evaluative response to his explanation, concluding her immediate reaction to his point without explicitly inviting him to continue speaking.


So who's gonna tell them?

Not it! Damn it!

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Chandler's initial question addresses the group, but his subsequent "Not it! Damn it!" is a self-directed exclamation rather than a prompt for another speaker to respond.


Are you serious?

When we found out that we're gonna get this baby, Chandler and I started talking and we decided that we didn't want to raise a kid in the city.

...and a street where our kids can ride their bikes and maybe an ice-cream truck can go by.

monica did not speak next (ground truth)

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, and Chandler is currently elaborating on the shared decision that Monica just introduced, making it his turn to continue their joint explanation.


You're welcome. Hey Joey, thanks for parking the car [passes the dollar back].

Ok. He kept my dollar.

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Chandler is an active participant in the exchange, but Joey's comment "He kept my dollar" is an observation about a third party rather than a direct address or question to Chandler.


What thing? What is this thing?

Oh my God!

Explanation: Ross is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT as he is present and likely sharing the context Rachel is reacting to, but Rachel's exclamations and questions are self-directed reactions to a discovery, not directly addressing Ross for a response.


No, I will. I’m just not up for it tonight.

Hey Rach listen, no matter what this guy says I want you to know you’re not gonna be alone in this.

Listen I uh… (He takes her hand.) It’s a scary world out there especially if you’re a single mom. Y’know, I always felt like you and I have this-this special bond. Y’know? So, (gets down on one knee again) Rachel Green will you marry me?

rachel was addressed by joey and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Rachel has just been directly proposed to by Joey, requiring her to respond to his question.


I have no idea.

Yeah! I’m just pretending to watch the game so I don’t have to help out with stuff.

I don’t believe you! That is…brilliant! And Monica has no idea?

phoebe addressed monica, not chandler (ground truth)

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: While Phoebe's last utterance includes a direct question to Chandler about Monica's awareness, it primarily functions as an exclamation of surprise and admiration for Chandler's cleverness.


So then you know? (Phoebe nods her head)

The mailman was downstairs, so I brought up your mail.

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Phoebe just delivered information about bringing up "your mail" directly to her, which requires an acknowledgment or response.


I’ve got a science question.

If the Homo Sapiens, were in fact ‘Homo-sapien’, is that why there extinct?

Explanation: Ross is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Joey posed a general science question to the group, and Ross, as a paleontologist, is the most likely person to answer or correct the premise of the question.


Oh wow! That deserves another piece of candy.

Well, I have to say that earns tutu pieces of candy.

Explanation: BYSTANDER: Rachel is making a comment to someone else, likely Ross, about a specific event that Monica is not actively involved in or being addressed about.


Oh my God, wait did I—I just said Greens don’t quit didn’t I? (Pause) (Angrily) Did I just say Greens don’t quit?!

Yes! Yes! You did and you’re still yelling at me!

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT as Joey directly answered her repeated question and then made an observation about her current yelling, which directly addresses her and invites a reaction.


(To Chandler) You told her!

Nancy Thompson’s getting fired! (Monica slaps him on the shoulder.)

You’re right. I mean I’m sorry. Yeah, I shouldn’t be laughing. I should be laying down papers for you! (Runs off laughing which gets Chandler laughing.)

Explanation: Ross is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Monica's final comment and departure, which caused Chandler to laugh, shifted the immediate focus away from Ross's initial question.


What are you talking about?!

(sets Ben down) Well, it's not for sure but umm, we met this guy in the park who thought Ben was really cute--y'know, which he is--so umm anyhoo, he uh, he gave us his card and told us to bring him down for this commercial he's auditioning.

(reading the card) Whoa! This guy is like the biggest commercial casting director in town! (Ross gasps) Ben takes one lousy walk in the park and gets an audition!! (Ross and Carol stare at him, then Joey realizes what he just said.) I mean, way to go Ben! (Gives Ben the thumbs up, which Ben returns.) Man! I've been in that park a million times and no one offered me an audition.

joey addressed ross, not phoebe (ground truth)

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Joey's current monologue is a personal reaction to the news about Ben's audition, not directed at Phoebe, and the immediate conversational focus is on his jealousy.


I guess that's how.

Hey Monica, how's it going.

Oh it’s umm, good! It's umm, it’s good, just here watering the plants.

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT; Pete initiated the current exchange by asking Monica how she was doing, and Monica directly responded to his question, inviting a follow-up or acknowledgment from him.


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...

Explanation: Ross is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Rachel is continuing her extended explanation of her feelings about relationships, contrasting Barry and Paolo, and is not soliciting a direct response from him.


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

to see you feeling like this!

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

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: BYSTANDER, Joey should stay silent because Ross introduced a new topic about Aunt Silvia's death, and Monica is now directly addressing Ross with a question about the dollhouse, shifting the conversation away from Joey's previous emotional disclosure.


Okay, dime! (Donates that.) You guys should probably keep talking; this could take a while. (Finds something else.) Oh no, wait! Look it! Whoa! (Looks at it.) Oh my God, this is a police badge!

Oh that's so cool! Why would a cop come in here though? They don't serve donuts. (No one laughs.) Y'know what actually, could you discover the badge again? I think I can come up with something better than that.

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT as she is part of the group reacting to Phoebe's discovery of the police badge, and Chandler's meta-comment about his joke creates an opening for other group members to react to the situation.


Oh what is it honey, you need some tea? Some soup? (He gets up from the couch and goes into the bedroom to find Monica, still in the robe, lying seductively on the bed. Or at least she’s trying too and as he enters the room, she takes the robe off on of her legs.) Oh-ohhhh!

(trying to be seductive) Calling Dr. Big, Dr. Big to the bed.

Oh Jeez honey, I thought, I thought you were asleep.

How could I be asleep knowing that you were in the next room.

Explanation: Chandler is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT as Monica's last line is a direct, flirtatious statement addressed to him, inviting him to continue their intimate exchange.


Oh God, Ross I am so sorry.

I guess it all started when Rachel got this new job. (he sits down at the table.)

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Ross has just begun to explain a situation, taking the floor to provide context rather than directly addressing Carol for a response.


Phoebe, come on that's silly.

All right, so let's switch.

No, I have all of the good words. OK, fine, fine, we can switch.

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, and Rachel's final utterance directly agrees to Phoebe's previous suggestion to switch, inviting a confirmation or next step from Phoebe.


Rachel, what's going on? I mean isn't this the same Barry who you left at the altar?

Yeah, but it was different with him today! And he wasn't, like, Orthodontist Guy, y'know? I mean, we had fun! Is there anything wrong with that?

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because she initiated the line of questioning about Barry, and Rachel's most recent utterance directly responds to Monica's concerns and ends with a question inviting further comment.


You're not going to believe this!

It's OK. It's OK. I was always rooting for you two kids to get together.

Explanation: Joey is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because he just initiated the conversation with an attention-grabbing statement, and Chandler's subsequent comment is a direct response to Joey's opening, indicating an ongoing exchange where Joey is expected to elaborate.


Oh my God Phoebe, this is impossible! We can’t do this by Friday! We have to find a place. We have to invite people! We have to get food! There’s just too much to do! It’s impossible! We can’t do it! We cannot do it! We cannot do it!

(grabs and shakes Rachel) Just calm down woman!

Phoebe, I already, I already did.

Oh okay. All right, then I need to calm down a little.

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, and Phoebe's self-referential comment about needing to calm down creates an opening for Rachel to respond to the ongoing discussion about their shared stress and the party planning.


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

Our place, the hall! I...

I got something for her. (Joey picks up the package, shakes it next to his ear, can't hear anything, switches ears, shakes it again.) It's a book!

joey was addressed by chandler and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: Joey is an active participant, as he initiated the conversation about meeting Kathy and Chandler's statement "It's a book!" directly provides information about the package Joey is physically holding and examining.


And she's just so sexy and funny and has the cutest little…

Okay, y'know what? We don't need her measurements.

(looking through the pizzas) Okay pepperoni, pepperoni, pepperoni, okay Ross, I know she's pretty and you love her, but is she stupid?! She forgot my vegetarian!

ross was addressed by phoebe and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: Ross is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Phoebe directly addressed him with a question about the person he was describing.


story for that?

That’s right! You lose sucker!! (Pause) Please still marry me.

Chandler, you have an assistant right?

(angrily) Did she call? You-you told her I was sick right? Always tell her I am sick!

No, I-I just don’t know how you decide who to hire. I mean I’ve got it narrowed down to two people. One of them has great references and a lot of experience and then there’s this guy…

Explanation: Monica is a BYSTANDER as Rachel and Chandler are now engaged in a separate exchange about Rachel's hiring dilemma, which does not involve Monica.


Definitely roses. (Monica and Rachel exchange a look.) Well, I just think they’re a little more weddingy. (Monica holds the Lily picture closer to him.) But Lilies are the clear choice.

Joey, there is a perfectly good couch across the hall!

Explanation: BYSTANDER. Rachel is directly addressing Joey about the couch, making Chandler a bystander to their exchange.


I cannot believe that you didn’t tell me that we are still married!!

Look I was going to tell you!

When?! After the birth of our first secret child?! (To All) Ross didn’t get the annulment; we are still married.

Explanation: Ross is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, as Rachel's final statement directly accuses him and reveals information about his actions, making him the central subject of the ongoing discussion.


You guys, what was the Powerball number again?

Let me see!

Phoebe, you don't have any of the first five numbers.

ross addressed phoebe, not monica (ground truth)

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Ross directly addressed Phoebe to inform her about her numbers, making Monica's previous offer to check the numbers less relevant for the immediate next turn.


(to Phoebe) So what’s Phoebe like?

I’m kind, caring, and sweet. What’s Monica like?

Ah no, the other Phoebe, the one you went to go see.

Ohh, I think she knows where my Dad is.

Oh well, where is he?!

phoebe did not speak next (ground truth)

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Phoebe is an active participant, but Monica's direct question "Oh well, where is he?!" asks for information that Phoebe has previously indicated she does not possess, as she only knows that *the other Phoebe* might know.


Okay. Have a benefit.

Hey! Ross, listen can you come to a charity event tonight?

rachel addressed ross, not joey (ground truth)

Explanation: BYSTANDER: Rachel is directly addressing Ross with an invitation to a charity event, making Joey a bystander to their private exchange.


Does it matter?!

Chandler, you’re not fourteen anymore. Okay? Maybe it’s time that you let that stuff go. If your father’s not at your wedding…you’re gonna regret it for the rest of your life.

Yeah o-okay, but I’m just doing this for you.

So I really never get to win anymore?

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT who has been advising Chandler, and his latest rhetorical question "So I really never get to win anymore?" is directed at her, inviting her to respond to his frustration.


Well, I was kinda supposed to be headed for Aruba on my honeymoon, so nothing!

Right, you're not even getting your honeymoon, God.. No, no, although, Aruba, this time of year... talk about your- (thinks) -big lizards... Anyway, if you don't feel like being alone tonight, Joey and Chandler are coming over to help me put together my new furniture.

chandler was addressed by ross and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: Chandler is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Ross directly mentioned him as part of the plan to help assemble furniture, making him a relevant party to acknowledge the arrangement.


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

Okay, how about, for a guy, Thatcher?

Ross, why do you hate our child?

Fine, you go.

Explanation: BYSTANDER; Ross and Rachel are having a direct exchange about baby names, with Ross responding to Rachel's previous comment, and Phoebe is not being addressed.


I just said that so you wouldn't let Ben do it! Look Ross, if anyone should step aside it should be Ben!

Why should Ben step aside? It was his audition in the first place! You-you just tagged along! You're like the uh, tag-a-long dad.

At least I care about his feelings!

Do you know how hard this is gonna be on him when he doesn’t get it?

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT; Joey's rhetorical question directly addresses Ross, continuing their heated argument about Ben's feelings and the audition.


(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!

I'm not in charge of where the conference is held. Do you want people to think it's a fake conference? It's a real conference.

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Chandler's most recent utterance is a defensive response to Phoebe regarding his conference location, not a direct address or prompt for Monica to elaborate on her culinary fair plans.


Why are you reading this? You hate this kind of stuff.

Yeah I know, but I figured a shot y’know? Maybe one of those stories would make me cry and then you wouldn’t think I was y’know, all dead inside.

Oh that’s so sweet! Look Chandler I don’t care if you can’t cry, I love you.

Oh that makes me feel so warm in my hollow tin chest.

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT; Chandler's last utterance is a humorous, self-deprecating response to her previous statement of affection, which doesn't directly invite further immediate verbal interaction from her.


I don't know, you might be the first one.

Uh, no. Wait, you know what, this is the outfit that makes my calves look fat. Nevermind.

Well, Joey, I wrote a little song today. It's called Get Up.

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, Chandler directly addressed Joey and shared a personal anecdote about writing a song, clearly inviting a response.


I'm sorry, who's this?

Phoebe, there's a dog sitting on my couch!

No, there's no dog here?

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Phoebe's "No, there's no dog here?" is a statement of disbelief and denial of Monica's observation, not a direct question or prompt for Monica to elaborate further.


Come on Ross! Look, I-I don’t have any brothers; I’ll never get to be a best man!

(to Chandler) Wait-wait, so, you get to be my best man twice and I never get to be yours at all?

Explanation: Joey is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT in the discussion about the best man role, but Ross's most recent question is directed specifically to Chandler, shifting the immediate conversational focus away from Joey.


I think they're very nice.

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.

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: Monica is a BYSTANDER as Ross's most recent utterance is a direct, humorous response to Chandler's criticism, explicitly addressing Chandler and not inviting further input from others.


Oh, it's a gift certificate to this new SPA in SOHO.

Oh, you can't show Phoebe this! She hates those corporate massage    chains.

(coming back from the bathroom) What's up? (she sees the gift    certificate in Rachel's hands) Hey, Rachel!!

No, you can't go there! You know how I feel about these "big    massage places"! They're putting people like me out of business!

rachel did not speak next (ground truth)

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Phoebe is still actively expressing her strong opinion and explaining her reasoning directly to Rachel about why she shouldn't go to the spa.


Lewis Posin! He was my best friend in fifth grade, and-and then one day I asked him to be my boyfriend and he said no. Do you know why?

Because you kept talking to him while he was trying to go to the bathroom?!

No! But because he thought I was to faaaaa…. (Chandler emerges, without flushing by the way.) And every time I think about it, it makes me feel as bad as I did in fifth grade! Y’know, I-I really think that you should apologize to Julie.

What? Are you kidding? That was like 16 years ago.

No, I know. But y’know what? It would make me feel better if Lewis apologized to me.

the man you feel in love with!

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Chandler's statement "the man you feel in love with!" is a rhetorical or sarcastic interjection about Lewis, not a direct question or prompt for Monica to immediately respond.


All right, that’s it, you guys! What happened out there?

What? We took a walk, nothing happened. I can back with nothing all over me.

What happened? Joey?

Well, we have to say something! We have to get it out! It’s eating me alive!! Monica got stung by a jellyfish.

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT; Joey just confessed to Ross about Monica being stung by a jellyfish, directly answering Ross's question, and the immediate turn is not directed back at Monica.


Oh, when you get over this breakup we need to go shopping.

Monica, I really appreciate you checking in on me, but I'm actually feeling a lot better. Yeah, I just kinda want to be alone right now.

(To Mike) What are you doing here?

Explanation: BYSTANDER. Monica has shifted her attention from Phoebe to Mike, directly asking him "What are you doing here?", making Phoebe a bystander in this new exchange.

Uh yes, but it was, we just did it once uh, in London.

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

Well let there—what if a man comes along and puts a gun to your head and says, "You ride this bike or I’ll sh…I’ll shoot you."

Okay, I would ring the bell to distract him and then I would knock the gun out of his hand with a Chinese throwing star.

Okay, Phoebe just-just get-get on the bike and—Hey! I’ll hold you up and-and push you. Okay?

You won’t let go?

Explanation: Ross is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, as he just offered to hold Phoebe up and push her, and while Phoebe's "You won't let go?" is a direct question to him,.


In the dream I did enjoy the closeness.

Joey, look, are you attracted to Monica? Right here, right now, are you attracted to her?

Well sure! I'm just wearing sweats! (Looking at Chandler and slowly realizing what his point is.) But that's good that you're not in love with me, because you just want a girlfriend!

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Although Joey was directly asked by Chandler, Monica's subsequent utterance is a concluding statement directed at Chandler and an observation about Joey's general desire for a girlfriend, not a direct question or prompt for Joey to respond.


I'll have to get back to you on that. Okay, bye! (Hangs up.) Oh my God! He wants me to come over and feel his bicep and more!

Are you kidding?!

I can not believe he would do that to Mon—Whoa! (She stops suddenly and slowly turns to point at Joey. Joey is avoiding her eyes.) Joey, do they know that we know?

rachel addressed joey, not phoebe (ground truth)

Explanation: Phoebe is a BYSTANDER, as Rachel has shifted her attention from Phoebe's previous statement to directly question Joey about whether "they" know, making Joey the expected next speaker.


He can do more than that! He can destroy the universe!

No Chandler, they can swallow one of those little parts! And also, look at his smooth area, that’s just gonna mess them up.

chandler was addressed by phoebe and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: Chandler is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Phoebe directly addressed him and countered his previous statement, inviting a response.

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!

All right, I’m sorry. Rach I—Rach I’m sorry. Okay? I’m sorry! Maybe I can make up for it by, taking you roughly in the barn. (Giggles.)

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Joey just made another inappropriate comment directly to Rachel, immediately after apologizing for similar behavior, which demands a direct response from her.


Well, Ross does. What... You're - you're ruining the plan! Joey,       you've - you've fixed him up with his perfect woman!

Oh my god, you're right!

She even reads for pleasure!

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT as Joey's last utterance, "She even reads for pleasure!", directly elaborates on Phoebe's point about the woman being perfect for Ross, inviting her to continue the discussion about the ruined plan.


Why is it sick?

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

Explanation: BYSTANDER: Rachel is directly responding to Monica's question about why something is "sick," making this a direct exchange between them that does not involve Phoebe.


I can't believe it. Paolo kissed my mom?

Yeah, um, I don't know if you noticed, but he had a lot to drink, and you know how he gets when he's drun..uh... (He has caught sight of Joey scowling at him) I can't do this, I did it, it was me, I'm sorry, I kissed your mom.

joey was addressed by ross and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Joey should speak because Ross's confession, "I did it, it was me, I'm sorry, I kissed your mom," was a direct response to Joey's visible scowl and directly implicates Joey's mother, making Joey the central figure in this revelation.


Monica, I feel like you should have German subtitles.

Joey, speed it up!

Explanation: BYSTANDER; Monica's most recent utterance was a direct command to Joey, shifting the conversational focus entirely to him and away from Chandler's previous comment to Monica.


I'll take sports.

All right. Uhh, international.

Oh that's mine too! (Grabs it and Ross looks at him.) I'm Italian!

Well, I guess I can check out those apartment listings, even though there's never anything in here.

(looks) Oh yeah! You're—hey, you're right! Here's an affordable place, (reading ad) two bedroom, close to work, ooh, it's available in five weeks!

Explanation: Joey is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Ross has shifted the topic to reading an apartment ad aloud, which is not a direct address to Joey or an invitation for him to speak.


Oh, hey. Come on man, don't look at me like that, she used to drive you nuts before too, remember?

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

Look, what do you want me to say?

I want you to say that you like her!

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

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

Explanation: Joey is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Chandler's final statement "Oh, and by the way there is no Count Rushmore!" serves as a concluding remark delivered as he exits, signaling the end of their exchange rather than inviting further response.


You’re building a post office?

No, an entertainment unit, with a mail cubby built right in. It’s a one day job, max.

Okay. (notices that Joey is wearing some really tight jeans) My word! Those are snug.

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Chandler just made a direct, personal observation about Joey's tight jeans, which invites Joey to respond to the comment about his attire.


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

In a bad way?

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Rachel is an active participant as Chandler's question "In a bad way?" directly addresses her previous statement, but it functions more as a rhetorical reflection on her comment than.


Ok, um, (clears throat) we haven't known each other for that long a time, and, um, there are three things that you should know about me. One, my friends are the most important thing in my life, two, I never lie, and three, I make the best oatmeal raisin cookies in the world. (Phoebe opens a tin and offers Rachel a cookie)

(taking cookie) Ok, thanks Pheebs (takes bite of cookie, overwhelmed) Oh my God, why have I never tasted these before?!

Oh, I don't make them a lot because I don't think it's fair to the other cookies

All right, well, you're right, these are the best oatmeal cookies I've ever had.

Which proves that I never lie.

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, as she has just confirmed Phoebe's claim about the cookies, and Phoebe's latest utterance is a concluding statement that doesn't require a direct response from Rachel.


Well, let me just check that with what I got here, all right see 038 is not the number for (Ross starts making a lot of noise with a handheld pepper grinder) this store, 038 is Atlanta. And I...(stops and looks at Ross)

I’m sorry. But ah, hey, oh, somebody’s off the phone, how ‘bout a glass of wine by the fire, I could get it going again.

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

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

Hey, Ross!!! I told you I don’t!

Explanation: Ross is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, and Rachel's emphatic "Hey, Ross!!! I told you I don’t!" is a direct and final rejection of his repeated attempts to distract her, signaling that the topic is closed and further persistence is unwelcome.


Ow, that had to hurt!

Hey, it’s your Thanksgiving too, y'know, instead of watching football, you could help.

Okay, Rachel, you wanna put the marshmallows in concentric circles.

rachel was addressed by monica and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT; Monica directly addressed Rachel and gave her a specific instruction about putting marshmallows in circles, requiring a response or acknowledgment.


Ahh, the babies miss me?

What? You ordered pizza without me?!

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Joey's last utterance, "What? You ordered pizza without me?!", is a direct address to the group, including Phoebe, which creates an expectation for a response.


Joey! This is not like learning to ride a horse! This is like learning to…grow a turtleneck!

I kn-I know! I know! Okay? And apparently tomorrow when I go in to meet the director I have to take off my clothes so that they can see what my body looks like.

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, as she just spoke to Joey, and his last utterance, sharing a surprising detail about his audition, is directed at her and the group, inviting a reaction.


No. Ross, it, it just seems that y'know it’s time we-we y'know, move on. I mean, I mean don’t’ you think?

Yes, I do.

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, and Ross has just directly affirmed her previous statement, concluding that specific point of the exchange.


A face ass?

A chin dimple!

Well, uh y’know, our guy works with Chandler and he’s really nice and smart and he’s a great dresser!

No, our guy is just a floating head.

You’re not supposed to look!

chandler did not speak next (ground truth)

Explanation: Chandler is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Monica's playful retort "You're not supposed to look!" is a direct, concluding remark to their brief exchange about "their guy" and does not explicitly solicit a further verbal reply from him.


You're a dork.

I can't believe this.

Chandler, I said I was sorry.

chandler was addressed by monica and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: Chandler is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Monica directly addressed him with an apology, requiring a response from him.


No one got me an engagement present.

Okay, here I wish you health and happiness. (She hands Monica a cookie in a plastic baggie.)

(To Chandler) This is what happens when you don’t register for gifts!

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT; Monica's comment about not registering for gifts is directed specifically to Chandler, not Ross, and does not invite a direct response from him.


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.

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because she initiated the topic about Chandler's dad's RSVP, and Chandler's last utterance directly responds to her by explaining why no RSVP was received.


I’m just saying it’s been a really long time for you. I mean, women have needs. Do it, get yours!

Oh I-I don’t know about that. No, I think that if the two of you had sex the-the-the repercussions would be catastrophic.

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Monica should speak because Phoebe directly responded to Monica's previous statement, disagreeing with her advice and inviting a counter-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, as Ross has just initiated a new, private conversation with Phoebe by directly asking her if she has a second, which does not involve Joey.


Oh no! Did you take my bra too?!

The pink one with the flowers?!

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, as Monica is directly asking about her missing bra, implying Rachel is a potential person to respond to the inquiry.


Oh, major shampoo explosion!

Uh, look Ross, this really isn't easy.

ross was addressed by rachel and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, as Rachel directly addressed Ross with "look Ross, this really isn't easy," indicating she is speaking to him and likely expects a response.


(entering) Hello Chandler, lovely day huh? (To Monica) You!

Phoebe if it helps Alexandra has only been massaging Monica for like three years. (Phoebe rolls her eyes and walks away and Monica glares at him.) If! I said, "If it helps!" (Goes to the bedroom.)

Why won’t you let me massage you?

Explanation: Chandler is a BYSTANDER as he has physically removed himself by going to the bedroom, and Phoebe's question "Why won’t you let me massage you?" is clearly directed at Monica.


Have you guys picked a date yet?

Oh no, not yet.

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Monica's general question "Have you guys picked a date yet?" was directed to the group, and Ross's brief response leaves an opening for others to contribute to the topic.


Okay, okay, you got it!

Ross, can you pass me the yams?

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Rachel directly asked Ross to pass the yams, which is a direct request requiring his response.


Hey! Oh Joey, honey listen, thank you for talking to my yesterday about that thing with my boss. That really meant a lot.

Not a problem. Oh, and just so you know, that guy’s not going to be bothering you about that baby thing anymore.

Let’s just say I took care of it.

Don’t worry! Don’t worry. I just told him, very nicely, "You don’t go buying people’s babies, so back off!!"

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

Explanation: Joey is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, and Rachel is directly correcting his misunderstanding about her boss wanting to buy her baby, which requires Joey to process this new information before responding.


Oh no, yeah no, that part’s great!

What’s all this about you guys fighting?! Is this really over a room?! I mean, that is so silly!

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, as Ross just directly questioned "you guys" about their fight over a room, prompting her to respond to his assessment.


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

Monica, is this true?

monica was addressed by rachel and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, Rachel directly addressed Monica with a question, "Monica, is this true?", which requires a response from her.


Ohhhh, I cannot look at it! (She doesn't move.)

Chandler, why are you doing this?

I don't know. But I know I'm not afraid to do this.

I'm doing this because I'm sorry?

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, having directly questioned Chandler about his actions, and his last utterance is a self-correction that invites her further response.


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.

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Monica is directly comforting Rachel about the past mistake shown on tape, prompting Rachel to respond to the reassurance.


Oh really? Like what Monica?

Y’know she has 147,000 pairs of boots…

Oh yeah, good start Mon.

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, as Rachel just acknowledged her previous statement and encouraged her to continue by saying "good start Mon.".


Okay, Joey's doing the ceremony and Chandler's giving you away.

Oh, okay. Hi new dad. (Chandler waves)

Explanation: Chandler is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Phoebe just directly addressed him as "new dad," making a verbal response appropriate to acknowledge her comment and his new role.


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

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

phoebe addressed ross, not carol (ground truth)

Explanation: BYSTANDER; Phoebe has initiated a private phone call, whispering to Ross, which is not directed at Carol or the previous topic of conversation.


Oh, you must stop shooping.

Ok, I'm gonna get my stuff.

Chandler, will you just come in already?

joey addressed chandler, not rachel (ground truth)

Explanation: Rachel was an active participant, but Joey's direct address to Chandler about coming in creates an exchange specifically between them, which does not involve Rachel.


All right, ready?

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

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

Oh yeah it will! Come on, up! Up-up-up! Up! Yes! Here we go! Pivot! (They start up the stairs again. Chandler is between the couch and the wall now.) Pivot! Piv-ot! Piv-et!! Piv-ett!!! Piv-et!

Explanation: Chandler is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT; Ross is giving a rapid series of commands and encouragement for the physical task, which doesn't invite an immediate verbal response from Chandler, who is also physically constrained between the couch and the wall.


I know, and with the baby coming?

So, should we tell her?

I don’t know. Phoebe, if one of us saw Mike with another woman would you want us to tell you?

TELL ME WHAT YOU KNOW!

(yelling in pain) I know nothing! Mike’s a great guy, it was hypothetical!

All right. (she releases him). He is a good guy. You’re right, he wouldn’t cheat.

see with someone, there’s no way I... (Phoebe starts pinching him again)

WHO DID YOU SEE HIM WITH?

Explanation: Ross is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, and Phoebe's aggressive question, "WHO DID YOU SEE HIM WITH?", is directed at him while she is physically hurting him, making his silence a reaction to the pain and his repeated denial of knowing anything.


I’m not even getting married! Okay, this is a question for science fiction writers!

I can’t believe you’re not picking me.

Explanation: Ross is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, and Joey's emotional complaint about not being picked in the hypothetical scenario creates an opening for Ross to comment on Joey's reaction or the ongoing discussion.


(to Joey) Hey, listen, Joey, about Molly, I really prefer if    you didn't go after her.

So, what, you think I'm just gonna sleep with her and never call    her again and things are gonna get uncomfortable? (thinks about it) Yeah, sounds    about right.

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Rachel is an active participant, but Joey's most recent utterance was a self-reflection on his own behavior rather than a direct prompt or question for Rachel, allowing his thought to settle.


Those are my gifts, I got them for you.

Ohhh. Thanks Chandler they're great!

Those are book ends! That's a great gift!

Oh, okay, I'm sorry, thank you for my azzz.

Explanation: Chandler is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, and Phoebe's confused and slightly nonsensical "thank you for my azzz" is a direct response to Chandler's explanation of his gift, prompting him to clarify or react.


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

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

Monica, can Phoebe borrow your green dress?

I called him.

Yes. Well I got his machine and I left a message. But it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, because you know it was like a casual, breezy message. It was breezy! Oh God, what if it wasn't breezy?

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Monica is currently engaged in a self-reflection about a phone message she left, not addressing Rachel's previous question about the dress or anyone else.


Well, every, every Thanksgiving um, we used to have a touch football game called the ‘Geller Bowl.’

No, no, no, you say that proudly.

Explanation: Ross is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT in the conversation about the Geller Bowl, but Chandler's comment "No, no, no, you say that proudly" is an observation directed at Monica's tone, not a prompt for Ross to speak.


(entering) Hey Ross! Listen, do you want to go see that new Imax movie on tide pools?

Okay I-I just have to stop by my place first.

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, Joey should speak because Ross just responded directly to his movie invitation, accepting it with a condition that Joey needs to acknowledge.


of the responsibility. I mean, this is every guy's fantasy!

Oh, yeah. That is not true. Ross, is this your fantasy?

ross was addressed by phoebe and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Phoebe directly asked Ross a question, making him the addressee and prompting a response.


everywhere she goes.

Ross, she’s 25 years old.

So what! I still have—No you’re probably right.

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT; Ross's concession "No you're probably right" directly responds to Monica's previous statement, creating an opportunity for her to acknowledge his agreement or continue the discussion.


The allergy guy got the part! Thanks!

Well, maybe we can fix it y’know? Maybe we can send him some-some big-big flowers and scare him!

How could you do this to me Chandler?! This part could’ve turned my whole career around!

I messed up. Okay? I’m sorry, I really messed up.

Hey, you don’t even live here anymore! What are you doing answering my phone? I have my machine!

Explanation: Chandler is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT as Joey is directly addressing him with accusations and questions about answering the phone, demanding a response.


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

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

Oh my god, what were you thinking?

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

(leaving) I'm outta here.

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

Yeah. I'm thinking, if we put our heads together, between the two of us, we can break them up.

I'm so sorry, I can't believe I did this, but I couldn't stop laughing at your Norman Mailer story.

Explanation: Joey is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT as Monica directly addresses him with an apology and explanation for her reaction to his Norman Mailer story, which concludes her thought without requiring an immediate verbal response from Joey.


You know more than one Fun Bobby?

I happen to know a Fun Bob.

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Joey, having just received a direct answer from Chandler regarding his question about Fun Bobby, has no immediate conversational obligation to speak, allowing for a pause or a shift in topic.


Joey, (nervously) where did you learn that word?

Where do you think, (pause) Zelda?

(gasps) You found my book?!

Yeah I did!

Joey, what-what are you doing going into my bedroom?!

Okay, look I’m sorry, I went in there to take a nap and I know I shouldn’t have, but you got porn!

Hey-hey, y’know what? I don’t care! I’m not ashamed of my book. There’s nothing with a woman enjoying a little…erotica. It’s just a healthy expression of female sexuality, which by the way, you will never understand. (She goes into her room.)

Explanation: Joey is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Rachel just directly accused him of not understanding female sexuality and then walked away, leaving an opening for him to respond to her statement or her departure.


What? That's not? (Realizes) Oh my God.

Even Mary Tyler Moore would've been better.

Explanation: Chandler is a BYSTANDER as Monica's critical comment about Mary Tyler Moore is a direct response to Joey's realization, continuing an exchange between them.


(answering the phone) Hi Geller-Bing residence. How can I help?

Phoebe, why is there a dog in our apartment?

phoebe was addressed by monica and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT; Monica directly addressed Phoebe with a question about the dog in the apartment, requiring her to provide an answer.


Oh, there’s a cab! Taxi!! (The cab stops and she opens the door.) Good timing, my God, huh? Here you go. (Pushes Rachel in and closes the door.)

Yeah, we’re, we’re actually just gonna walk ‘cause it’s right up there at the Angelica.

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because she just hailed a cab and tried to put Rachel in, and Rachel's utterance directly rejects that action and provides an explanation, creating an expectation for Phoebe to respond.


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.

How about you guys? (Points to Phoebe and Joey.)

Explanation: Chandler is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, having just explained his frustration about Rachel's memory, and may be continuing to elaborate on his perspective within the ongoing discussion about "the big deal" even as.


be a baby!

Okay! (Runs that way and hears another whistle blast.) Hey! (Heads the other way and hears another blast.) What do I do?!! (She runs in the second direction and finds that the whistling is coming from inside a rack. She moves the dresses out of the way to find Rachel curled up in a fetal position frantically blowing on the whistle.) What are you doing? (Rachel doesn’t stop.) Did you find the dress? (Rachel won’t stop so Phoebe pinches her nose shut which causes her to spit the whistle out.)

rachel was addressed by phoebe and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT as Phoebe directly asked her "What are you doing?" and "Did you find the dress?", and physically intervened to prompt a verbal response.


(to Phoebe) It's like a giant hug.

Ross, how about you. What would you give up, sex or food?

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Phoebe directly addressed Ross with a question, explicitly asking for his opinion on what he would give up.


Listen, I’m sure that dad doesn’t care. He probably thought this was funny; he’ll be telling this story for years!

I don’t want him to tell this story for years.

Explanation: Ross is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT in the group discussion about "dad" and the story, and Chandler's recent expression of not wanting the story told for years creates an open conversational slot for another participant to offer a different perspective or further comment.


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.

But Ross, its you and me!

So? Sure! But it-it wouldn’t be anything romantic. And I’m-I’m dating Mona—Damnit Mona! I was supposed to meet her like an hour ago! What is wrong with me?!

Explanation: Joey is a BYSTANDER because Ross's last utterance is an internal monologue about his forgotten date with Mona, not an address to Joey, and the preceding exchange was a private discussion between Ross and Rachel.


Ross, that is gorgeous!

Uh, Macy's, third floor, home furnishings.

monica did not speak next (ground truth)

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT as she initiated the compliment to Ross, and Ross's last utterance provided information about the item she praised without posing a question back to her.


All right Rock, Paper, Scissors who has to tell the whore to leave! (Joey smirks.) What?

I miss this.

I don’t think we’ve actually done this before!

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, Joey should speak because Chandler's last utterance directly responds to Joey's previous statement about missing "this," inviting Joey to clarify or continue the topic.


So where you gettin' it?

I think on my shoulder. [Ross enters]

What? What's on your shoulder?

Um, a chip. A tattoo, I'm getting a tattoo.

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT; Phoebe's most recent utterance was a direct response to Ross's clarifying question about what she is getting on her shoulder, indicating the turn is now between Ross and Phoebe.


She is so hot!

Yeah, listen. Okay, before you do anything Joey-like, you might wanna runit by err... (he indicates Phoebe, who is helping Ross understand the remote control.)

Well, I mean, I’m not my sister’s, you know, whatever, and um...I mean, it’s true, we were one egg, once, but err, you know, we’ve grown apart,so, um... I don’t know, why not? Okay.

Explanation: Chandler is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Phoebe's last utterance directly responded to his implied concern about Joey pursuing her sister, effectively concluding that specific exchange and leaving no immediate need for Chandler to speak further.


Joey! Hey, I need to talk to Charlie. Is she there?

No. no... eh... she went shopping with Rachel. Why? What's up?

I'm meeting with professor Sherman about my being the keynote speaker...

Oh! How's it going?

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

What!? But I already bought my ticket to Bermuda!

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Ross has just delivered the news about Professor Sherman falling asleep, and Joey's subsequent exclamation about his Bermuda ticket is a personal reaction to that information, not a direct question requiring Ross to speak further.


Oh come on Ross, why are we wasting our time with this other stuff?! We know what’s gonna work! It’s doctor recommended!

I’m sorry, but we have to have some boundaries! My God, I’m dying.

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Ross directly responded to Rachel's previous statement about "wasting time" and "boundaries," continuing their direct exchange.


Umm, she Rach, not it, she.

Yeah, I’m not so sure.

Yeah, no kidding, this just proves no good can come from having sex with Ross!

Hey Gunther, can I get a couple of blueberry muffins to go? (He puts a bag with diapers in it on the counter.)

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT in the previous discussion, but Ross has now initiated a new exchange by addressing Gunther to order muffins, which is not directed at Monica or the group.


Well, Ross does. What... You're - you're ruining the plan! Joey,       you've - you've fixed him up with his perfect woman!

Oh my god, you're right!

She even reads for pleasure!

How do you even know a woman like that?

What? I'm not allowed to know smart women?

I met her at the library. I went in to pee.

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT who asked Joey a direct question about how he knows the woman, and Joey has just finished explaining, making it her turn to respond to his answer.


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!

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Monica directly blamed Phoebe for being in charge of the invitations, requiring Phoebe to respond to the accusation.


Wow! Hey, why are you all dressed up?

Rachel and I are bringing Emma to Ralph Lauren today to introduce her to everyone. Doesn't she look cute?

rachel was addressed by ross and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because Phoebe's initial question was directed at her and Ross, and Ross's subsequent question about Emma directly invites her agreement or further comment as Emma's mother.


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

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

Because it's too delicious.

Chandler, you stole this cheesecake. That is wrong.

win! The only losers are the big cheesecake conglomerate, (Reading the label) Momma’s Little Bakery. (Pause) I feel terrible, I’m a horrible, horrible, horrible person.

rachel did not speak next (ground truth)

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Chandler's most recent utterance is a self-deprecating confession of guilt, which doesn't directly address Rachel or require her immediate input to continue the exchange.


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.

Hey you guys, I don’t mean to make things worse, but umm, I don’t want to live with Rachel anymore.

phoebe addressed rachel, not monica (ground truth)

Explanation: Monica is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Phoebe's serious declaration about not wanting to live with Rachel anymore is primarily directed at Rachel, creating an expectation for Rachel to respond first.


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

Well, I-I-I'm done with this. You want anything Ross? Sports? International? Apartment listings?

chandler addressed ross, not phoebe (ground truth)

Explanation: Phoebe is a BYSTANDER as Chandler is directly addressing Ross and offering him options, shifting the conversation away from Phoebe's previous joke.


They went in together. So sorry.

Oh my God! Oh my God that’s awful! What did you think of the house?

(walking towards her to hold her and support her) Monica, you understand what we are saying, right?

Yeah, sure... uhm, I'm devastated, obviously... (to the rest) Did you think the neighborhood was homey? (Chandler enters)

Explanation: Joey is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT because he previously addressed Monica to check her understanding and offer support, and her subsequent statement "I'm devastated, obviously..." is a direct emotional response to the situation he was addressing.


I know! It's just that…ever since high school Rachel was the one person I told everything too. Y'know? I miss that so much now. She's my best friend.

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!

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Monica's last utterance is a self-contained explanation of her own actions in Chandler's room, not a direct question or invitation for Rachel to speak further.


What the hell is this?! What, did you actually thought it would make me feel better to give me stuff that I can’t use for another two months?! This sucks! All right, what’s my next present?!

Hey listen man, about the stripper…

(banging a spoon against his beer bottle) Okay, a little announcement, a little announcement. I’ve decided that my best man is, my best friend Gunther!

gunther was addressed by chandler and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Chandler directly named Gunther as his best man and best friend, making him the direct recipient of a significant announcement that requires an acknowledgment.


Well, I’m not really in a sexy mood right now.

How long it took to go back in the water?

Chandler, we can’t let this tape wreck Valentine’s Day!

Oh, beautiful? Really? Beautiful? You think this is beautiful? (picks up the remote and presses a button, and he immediately makes a face that just looks like he’s going to throw up!)

Oh! Oh, my God! No wonder my mother hates me!

Explanation: Chandler is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Monica's highly emotional and self-directed exclamation about her mother is not addressed to him and does not invite an immediate response.


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

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

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, as Monica directly challenged her to "settle this" immediately after Phoebe's previous statement, requiring a response.


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

(to Ross) I'll show you how.

Explanation: Monica is a BYSTANDER as Joey has just addressed Ross directly, initiating a new exchange that does not involve her.


Don’t take this personally okay? It’s just that I just can’t have sex with a sick person.

I’m with you Chandler! I mean I can’t have sex with a sick person either, that’s disgusting! But I’m not sick! Let me prove it to you. We are two healthy people in the pribe of libe.

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, Chandler should speak because Monica directly responded to his initial statement, denying his sickness and challenging him with "Let me prove it to you.".


I don't want to be single, okay? I just... I just- I just wanna be married again!

And I just want a million dollars! (He extends his hand hopefully.)

Oh God Monica hi! I just went to your building and you weren't there and then this guy with a big hammer said you might be here and you are, you are!

rachel addressed monica, not chandler (ground truth)

Explanation: BYSTANDER, as Rachel's excited greeting and explanation are directed solely at Monica, initiating a new exchange that does not involve Chandler.


Everything? Even the TV?

No! I’m putting that in my room.

Explanation: Ross is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, as Joey just directly responded to his question about the TV, making it Ross's turn to acknowledge the answer or continue the topic.


Wow, so glad I changed. Almost wore my ??? outfit that cant  contain my breasts.

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.

monica addressed chandler, not phoebe (ground truth)

Explanation: Phoebe is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, but Monica's last utterance is a self-contained explanation about her and Chandler's plans, not directly soliciting a response from Phoebe.


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.

ross was addressed by joey and spoke (ground truth)

Explanation: ACTIVE PARTICIPANT: Joey just directly addressed Ross and offered a nuanced take on the "totally honesty thing" that Ross had brought up, requiring Ross's response to continue the discussion.


Well, I don’t know. I think it does something to salami.

Yeah. What-what did Tag say?

Tag is not the father! And Joey knows now?

I do Rach. I do, and I so happy for you. (They hug.)

Explanation: Rachel is an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT as Joey just directly confirmed he knows about her pregnancy and expressed happiness to her, leading to a hug, which warrants a response from her.
