This article aims to bring to light an unusual reflection on spirituality. The backdrop for this reflection is given before the urban context of cosmopolitan quality. The main desire of the original research was to provide a dialogue between a representation of reality, from the urban context, through the analysis of a spirituality manifested in the sitcom Friends, and the perspective of Leonardo Boff regarding spirituality, through his work "Virtues: For Another Possible World." So, if it were possible to sketch a vision of this, let us imagine someone in front of the TV, watching an episodes of the hit series Friends and with the work of Boff at hand. Better yet, someone sitting next to Boff, both watching the hit series and talking about their perceptions in a friendly dialogue, fully intent on recognizing points of correlation between what a theologian thinks, says, and writes, and which describes the series in audio, image, and movement.
