"Now I realize it looks strange," Korzeniowski says during a coffee break in his Tourcoing apartment. He didn't as a teen. The sport was popular in the part of southeast Poland where he grew up, so "you weren't just a single person with a funny walk." In any case, he was just glad to be doing something sporty.

...that reason, the script occasionally makes Joey, well, smarter than we remember him being. At one point, his sister - who has a 20-year-old son - mentions how great it is she got pregnant at 16, because she looks so young now. "You rarely hear the argument for teen pregnancy," Joey says. It's a great line. For Chandler...
