The young Indian boy had spent most of his life in a quandry. He felt different yet. couldn't figure why. he was just so depressed. He went to the Chief for answers. He asked the chief how his brother Red Deer Running had gotten his name.
The chief answered in his typically poetic way."When Red Deer Running was born, at the moment of his birth, the first thing his mother saw was a beautiful deer running off into the forest. and so Running Deer was named. It is the custom of our tribe to name the offspring according to the spirits in nature visiting upon the birth."
Then, the boy said to the Chief. And how did my sister "Thundering Bird" get her name? The chief described again, how at the moment of her birth Thundering Bird's mother had heard a roar of thunder and looking up, saw a bird flying in the sky.
The boy asked again, how his cousin "White Crouching Bear" had been given such a name? And the chief, looking down once more at the boy, explaining the traditions of their tribe.. White Bear's mother had seen a rare white bear crouched over a stream at the moment her baby's birth.

ROSS: Yeah, and-and it's not that we don't like the comedian, it's that-that... that's not why we bought the ticket.
CHANDLER: The problem is, though, after the concert's over, no matter how great the show was, you girls are always looking for the comedian again, y'know? I mean, we're in the car, we're fighting traffic... basically just trying to stay awake.
RACHEL: Yeah, well, word of advice: Bring back the comedian. Otherwise next time you're gonna find yourself sitting at home, listening to that album alone.
