[Friends Season 1�5]

Monica: Would you let it go? It's not that big a deal.

Ross: Not that big a deal? It's amazing. Ok, you just reach in there, there's one little maneuver, and bam, a bra right out the sleeve. All right, as far as I'm concerned, there is nothing a guy can do that even comes close. Am I right?

1.Here "let it go" means stop arguing, right?
2."you just reach in there" means that your hand or you fingers just reach in there?
3."maneuver" means "move" ?
4."comes close" means can be comparable?
------------------------------------------------------------
Phoebe: (to Rachel) What's the matter? Why so scrunchy?

5."scrunchy" means unhappy,sad?
-------------------------------------
Joey: I suddenly had the feeling that I was falling . But I'm not.

6.What is the meaning of "I was falling" here ?

Thanks a lot to teachers!

1. In this case, it means stop worrying/being curious/wondering about it. In other contexts, it could mean stop arguing, stop being over-emotional, or whatever. It's whatever has you distracted in some way.

2. Yes.

3. Yes.

4. Yes.

5. Well, this is Phoebe's world of English. I assume that's what she meant.

6. I couldn't see anything in the script that was obvious, so I think he meant it in the literal sense - that he had the feeling that he was falling through the air from a great height.
