—When complaing about noise | ||
Mr. Heckles lived in the apartment below Monica and Rachel. In his first appearance, he was credited simply as "The Weird Man". He often complained about the apparent noise that the two made (though seemingly they were not making any noise at all) by rapping on his apartment ceiling with a broom.
Character
When Mr. Heckles complains to Monica and Rachel, he usually starts his lines with "You're disturbing my..." Both of them reply "You don't have a..." but Heckles insists saying "I could have a..." or even "You owe me a..." Mr. Heckles once stole Marcel, and dressed him as a ballerina, insisting that he hadn't seen him.
During "The One Where Heckles Dies", Mr. Heckles dies while banging on the ceiling, and leaves all his worldly possessions to "the two noisy girls upstairs." During this episode, Chandler looks through Mr. Heckles' possessions and draws parallels between his life and Mr. Heckles'. Chandler also becomes irritated when he hears the sound of banging coming from the above room and grabs hold of a broom before banging on the ceiling with it...and then realizing, to his horror, that he's becoming like Heckles. At the end of the episode, the friends seem to have sympathy for the obviously mentally ill Heckles in spite of his grumpy nature. The episode ends with a sympathetic Chandler saying to his empty room, after his possessions had been cleared out by the friends "Goodbye Mr Heckles...we'll try to keep it down."
Mr. Heckles appears again in a flashback, where it is revealed that his illusions were the main reason Joey became Chandler's roommate instead of a model photographer with a porn star sister. It turns out that after putting out an ad for a new roommate, Chandler, upon meeting Joey for the first time, took a dislike to him at first due to being irritated by Joey's stupidity, so when he met fashion photographerEric, who had a porn star sister, he invited Eric to be his new roommate instead of Joey. But just as Eric was about to move in, he encountered Heckles in the hallway, and when he informed Heckles that he was moving in with Chandler, Heckles' mental illness caused him to imagine that HE was Chandler's new roommate, and he sent Eric away before wandering into Chandler's room, much to Chandler's shock. When Eric didn't turn up, Chandler assumed he simply hadn't bothered too, failing to realize that Heckles had sent Eric away prior to wandering into Chandler's room. As a result, Chandler reluctantly accepted Joey as his new roommate instead...and started to rethink his negative opinion of Joey when the latter introduced him to Baywatch. Although the friends never discovered it, they therefore never would have gotten to know Joey if it hadn't been for Heckles.
