About
Dialogue from the globally recognised television series Friends, spanning all ten seasons, is captured in this product. It is presented in a row-by-row tabular structure, derived from scraped and cleaned published PDF transcripts. This resource facilitates deep analysis, ranging from straightforward exploratory data analysis (EDA) to sophisticated applications like training neural networks, particularly due to the lack of this specific resource on major data platforms.

- season_number: The season identifier, ranging from Season 1 through Season 10.
