What is a "head shot?"

Here is the quote. I'll appreciate it if you can help me with this.

"I'm paying you back for head shots, electric bills , and so many slices of pizza I can't even count."

Thanks, Willie.
Actually I found several meanings of "head shot," but somehow I didn't think any of them fit the context. Maybe you are correct. I just should have thought about it in a simple way!

Since we both watch Friends, this rough quote is from TOW the Prom Video, Series Two. It's before the opening credits. FYI.

Happy New Year!

Dear Willie,
As I mentioned that I couldn't find any definition to fit in the context 'cause it is what Joey speaks to Chandler in Friends. A friend of mine has found the meaning....Oh my god......I can't believe that he took it so seriously to look it up for me..... It's been a couple of days. Here you go!

"Headshot" in this case probably is a drink you order from the bar.
The word "shot" is the telltale clue.

Thank you.
I didn't carefully read your question.
However, it is an interestnig thing to learn.
Do you have a collection of some slangs from friends?
I would be honored if you would let me lay my eyes on it.
:)

I don't have any collection of the slangs though. "Urbandictionary .com" is always a very good tool for slangs. My friend has been living in the States for almost 20 years and I think that's why he is sensitive to the word "shot." I've always wanted to learn as much as I can, but in the meantime I'm forgetting what I've learned. I really SUCK!!
I'm getting older and older and soon will become closer and closer to stuff like Botox or any other plastic surgery. I'm gonna need to hire some kid to pull off my white hair soon...... Time lapses so fast.
