![]() She actually said "take a break": The phrase didn't come from nowhere. When she later tried to confront him on the issue, she seemed utterly exhausted by his overtures and began to unravel when he again suggested that their bickering was "about Mark."

When she had to cancel their anniversary dinner at the last minute, he showed up to her office and tried to set up an impromptu picnic, caring little for the fact that he was actively disrupting her workflow. He became utterly paranoid that Rachel was falling for her colleague Mark and couldn't stand it when she prioritized her career needs over their date plans.

Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer, Friends NBC Evidence for them being on a breakġ. To celebrate Friends' return to your streaming queue - and perhaps preempt any real-life arguments about this subject which may result - we've taken a hard look back at all the evidence to determine, once and for all, if Ross and Rachel really were on a break.

"We were on a break!" Those five words would became the most oft-repeated and controversial phrase to ever come from Friendsduring and after its epic 10-season run at NBC.
