These are a set of clues, each one ending with a number, that refer to unique events in the show "Friends" (clued by "clique of beautiful people," "hogging the break room couches," and "the six of them"). Identify the episode each one occurred in and write down the episode title. (There are apocryphal sources that disagree on some of the episode title wordings, but the official sources - NBC and Warner Brothers, which is the producer - agree.) Put the titles in order by air date or production number, they're the same order, and use the numbers as indices to letters in the titles, like this:
