Complete story — includes the ending

One of Monica's customers, Pete Becker ( Jon Favreau ), who wants to date Monica, leaves her a $20,000 tip that she considers to be a joke, but he turns out to be a billionaire. Monica reluctantly agrees to a date with Pete, who takes her out for pizza--in Italy. Phoebe is shocked when her 18-year-old brother becomes engaged to his former teacher, Alice ( Debra Jo Rupp ), a woman more than twice his age. Phoebe convinces Alice to come to her apartment and tell Frank why the relationship cannot work, only for this to backfire when the couple become passionate upon seeing each other. Chandler uses a hypnosis audio tape while sleeping to quit smoking, but it is meant for women, which brings out his feminine side.
