FRIENDS -
It�s another incredible Friends� episode. It�s great to discuss the difference between (scientific) fact and opinion, as well as to discuss the boundaries of our beliefs. I have included the script so that you can find the scenes, between Ross and Pheebs mainly, easily.
The title of the episode is "The One Where Heckles Dies".
