Speech & Pronunciation
Would you explain about the sentence in the scene of "Friends" sitcom
After Rachel said like the underlined, The sound of laugh comes out...but, I don't see the code of humor and what Rachel' joke mean. Would you tell me it?
I'm gonna attach the live sound of that part of "Friends episode"
I think she's going to say "how stingy claire's boyfriend is"
saying " who need to keep his stapler in his desk drawer..."
It looks like a metaphor but I can't make sense.
Ths scripts go like--------------------------
Rachel: Op, look! Claire forgot her glasses! And she's gonna be really needing these to keep an eye on that boyfriend,who from what I hear, needs to keep his stapler in his desk drawer,
if you know what I'm talking about.
Monica: Hey Rach, maybe your resolution should be to umm, gossip less.
es
Rachel: I don't gossip!
Rachel: Well, maybe sometimes I find out things or I hear something and I pass that information on y'know kinda like a public service, it doesn't mean I'm a gossip. I mean, would you call Ted Kopel a gossip?

I forget how jejune the gags were in that show. Rachel means that Claire's boyfriend is unfaithful. He needs to (should) keep his stapler (*****) in his desk drawer (pants).
