The goal of friends to provide the complete script transcription of the Friends sitcom. The data originates from the Character Mining repository which includes references to scientific explorations using this data. This package simply provides the data in tibble format instead of json files.
You can install the developmental version of friends from Github with:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("EmilHvitfeldt/friends")The friends package comes with a couple of datasets. The main one is
the friends dataset which is a tibble containing all the
utterances in the show

#> # … with 67,363 more rowsAll the utterances are broken down by season,
episode, scene and utterance
which allows for very detailed analysis. Please note that the
speaker will be denoted "Scene Directions" to
show scene directions, or otherwise non-spoken descriptions.
The original data includes emotion and character entity annotation for some of the utterances. These annotations have been included in separate tibbles. These can easily be joined back to the main dataset as needed.
