Friends : "Celui avec Chandler dans une Boîte"

Lingard

In this hilarious episode of Friends, Chandler's apology takes an unexpected form: he locks himself in a box to make up for kissing Joey's girlfriend, Kathy. Joey, still furious, insists that Chandler stay in the box for six hours as punishment. Monica and Rachel try to soften Joey's stance, but he remains adamant that Chandler should pay for his betrayal. Phoebe enters with a pie, but denies it to Chandler because "people in boxes don't get pie," adding even more humor to the already ridiculous situation. After hours of discomfort and Chandler's pleas, Joey reluctantly agrees to let him out, but only after Thanksgiving dinner—and without pie. This playful episode explores the limits of forgiveness in friendship, with plenty of laughs along the way.
