[repeated line] Joey Tribbiani: How you doin'?
Rachel: See? Unisex. Joey: Maybe *you* need sex. I just had it a few days ago. Rachel: No, Joey, U-N-I-sex. Joey: I wouldn't say no to that.
[repeated line] Ross: We were on a break!
[Joey has packed an emergency kit with food, Mad-Libs and condoms] Chandler: Condoms? Joey: We don't know how long we're gonna be stuck here. We might have to repopulate the world. Chandler: And condoms are the way to do that?
[Ross defends his fast eating habits to Rachel] Ross: I grew up in a house with Monica, okay. If you didn't eat fast, you didn't eat.
Chandler: I'm not so good with the advice... Can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?
Janice: [repeated line throughout the series] Oh... my... God!
Phoebe: [Right after playing a song in the coffee shop ] If you want to receive e-mails about my upcoming shows, then please give me money so I can buy a computer.
Rachel: You know, Ben, I was your daddy's girlfriend. Ben: But you're not anymore. Because you were on a break.
Monica: You wanted it to be a surprise. Chandler: Oh, my God. Monica: Chandler, in all my life I never thought I would be so lucky as to fall in love with my best, my best... [crying] Monica: There's a reason why girls don't do this. Chandler: Okay, okay I'll do it. I thought, wait I can do this, I thought that it mattered what I said or where I said it. Then I realized the only thing that matters is that you, that you make me happier than I ever thought I could be and if you let me I will spend the rest of my life trying to make you feel the same way. Monica, will you marry me? Monica: Yes.
Joey: Rach, you gotta find out if he's in the same place you are. Otherwise, it's just a moo point. Rachel: A moo point? Joey: Yeah. It's like a cow's opinion. It just doesn't matter. It's moo. Rachel: Have I been living with him too long or did that all just make sense?
Chandler: I got her machine. Joey: Her answering machine? Chandler: No. Interestingly enough, her leaf blower picked up.
Chandler: I can handle this. "Handle" is my middle name. Actually, "handle" is the middle of my first name.
Ross: [frantically presses buttons on answering machine] Oh my God! Did she get off the plane? Did she get off the plane? Rachel: [from behind] I got off the plane.
[Re: "If you had to give up sex or food, which would you pick?"] Monica: Sex! Chandler: Seriously. Answer faster. Monica: I'm sorry, sweetie. When she said "sex" I wasn't thinking of sex with you. Chandler: It's like a big hug. Phoebe: Ross, how about you? Sex or food? Ross: Sex! Phoebe: What about sex or dinosaurs? Ross: My God, it's like Sophie's Choice. Phoebe: Joey, if you had to give up sex or food, which would you pick? Joey: I don't know it's too hard. Rachel: Come on, you have to answer. Joey: Okay... sex. No, food. No, uh... I want both! I want girls on bread!
[Rachel is upset about something] Phoebe: Aww Pheebs. Rachel: Honey, that's your name. Phoebe: Oh, Pheebs is short for Phoebe I thought that's just what we called each other.
[after hearing about Chandlers breakup with Janice] Phoebe: Where's Chandler? Joey: He's grieving. [We see Chandler running outside] Chandler: I'M FREE. I AM FREE.
Ross: First divorce: wife's hidden sexuality, not my fault. Second divorce: said the wrong name at the altar, kind of my fault. Third divorce: they shouldn't let you get married when you're that drunk and have stuff drawn all over your face, Nevada's fault.
Ross: What are you doing tonight? Chandler: Why, do you have a lecture? Ross: No. Chandler: Free as a bird, what's up?
Rachel: I don't want my baby's first words to be "How You Doing"
[Joey just got ordained via the internet so that he could perform Monica and Chandler's wedding] Joey: Hey, I started working on what I'm going to say at the ceremony. Wanna hear it? Monica, Chandler: Yeah. Joey: We are gathered here today on this joyous occasion to celebrate the special love that Monica and Chandler share. [Monica and Chandler look impressed] Joey: It is a love based of giving and receiving as well as having and sharing. And the love that they give and have is shared and received. And through this having and giving and sharing and receiving, we too can share and love and have... and receive. [later] Joey: Okay, you guys, I've got a little more written... are you ready? Chandler: Yeah, yeah. Okay. Joey: When I think of the love that these two givers and receivers share, I cannot help but envy the lifetime ahead of having and loving and giving... and then I can't think of a good word for right here. Monica: How bout receiving? Joey: Yes!
Monica: Rach, it's the Visa card people. Rachel: Oh, God, ask them what they want. Monica: [on the phone] Could you please tell me what this is in reference to? Yes, hold on. [to Rachel] Monica: Um, they say there's been some unusual activity on your account. Rachel: But I haven't used my card in weeks. Monica: That is the unusual activity.
Monica: I'm Rachel. I love Ross. I hate Ross. I love Ross. I hate Ross. Rachel: I'm Monica. I can't get a boyfriend so I'll stumble across the hall and sleep with the first guy I find there.
Joey: I can't believe Ross is going out with Rachel's sister. Ya know, when Chandler made out with my sister, I was mad at him for, like, ten years. Chandler: That was five years ago. Joey: I know. You got five more years. Chandler: Joey... Joey: You want to make it six?
[Monica knocks] Chandler: You can't come in. Monica: Why not? Chandler: Because, uh, Ross is naked. Ross: What? Chandler: Well, I couldn't tell her *I* was naked. She's allowed to see me naked. Ross: Why does *anyone* have to be naked?
[Phoebe, Chandler, Joey, and Monica are trapped in Monica's bedroom] Joey: I'm hungry. Phoebe: We could eat the wax. It's organic. Chandler: Oh great, food with hair on it. Phoebe: No, not the used wax. Chandler: Because THAT would be crazy.
Joey: I'm Joey. I'm disgusting. I make low-budget adult films.
Monica: Guys can fake it? Unbelievable! The one thing that's ours!
[Ross and Rachel are picking out names for their baby, and have each 5 vetoes] Ross: Curie. Rachel: Veto. Rain. Ross: Veto. Mark. Rachel: Veto. Vince. Ross: Veto. Lance. Rachel: Veto. James. Ross: Hmmm... Rachel: If it's a girl. Ross: Veto. Phoebe: Is it just me, or is Vito beginning to sound real good?
Joey: So, what, you just want to stay here and wait for Rachel to come back from her date? Ross: Yeah. I mean, this guy could be my baby's stepfather. Joey: They go out on one date and you worry about her marrying him? He's not you.
Joey: Ninety-five, ninety-six, ninety-seven. See, I told you. Less than a hundred steps from our place to here. Chandler: You've got waaaay too much free time.
Phoebe: Look, I had a hard life. My mother was killed by a drug dealer. Monica: Phoebe, your mom killed herself. Phoebe: She was a drug dealer.
Phoebe: Ok, I got an idea. If it's a girl, Phoebe, naturally. And, if it's a boy... Phoebo. Ross: Uhh... Sure, but let's not limit ourselves to just one name. Rachel: Ok, I got one. If it's a girl... Sandrine. It's French. Ross: That's a great name... for an industrial solvent. Rachel: Ok, you got a better one? Ross: Yeah, check this out. If it's a boy - Darwin. Rachel: Yes, Ross, I do want a son who'll be regularly beaten in the schoolyard. Phoebe: By Sandrine.
[Chandler's roommate, Eddie has just accused him of sleeping with his ex girlfriend and killing his fish] Phoebe: Why would you kill his fish? Chandler: Because, Phoebe, sometimes after you sleep with someone you have to kill a fish.
Chandler: [to Ross] Three failed marriages, two illegitimate children... The personal ad writes itself.
Monica: Now come on, Chandler, the Miami Vice soundtrack? Really? Chandler: They were just giving it away at the mall... [Monica stares] Chandler: ...in exchange for money.
[Ross and Rachel are trying to decide a name for their baby] Ross: OK, how about Ruth? Rachel: Oh, I'm sorry, are we having an 89 year old woman?
Chandler: We're getting a house. Monica: We're getting a baby. Chandler: We're growing up. Monica: We sure are. Chandler: So who's going to tell them? Monica: Not it. Chandler: Not it. Damn it!
Phoebe: Chandler still thinks I'm pregnant and he hasn't asked me how I'm feeling or offered to carry my bags. I feel bad for the woman who ends up with him.
Rachel: Can you take care of Emma just for today? Ross: Sure, just lend me your breasts and we'll be on our way.
Rachel: ...How many centimeters am I dilated? Eight? Nine? Dr Long: Three. Ross: Just three? I'm dilated three!
[Ross is trying to talk Rachel's boss into giving her her job back so she won't go to Paris; Mr. Zelner has a son who is also named Ross] Ross: Does little Ross like dinosaurs by any chance? Mr. Zelner: Yeah, they're all he talks about, why? Ross: How would he like to come with me to the Museum of Natural History after everyone else has left, just the two of us, and he can touch anything he wants. [Mr. Zelner looks shocked] Ross: I just heard it as you must have heard it and that's not good. Let me start again. I'm a paleontologist, you'll be there with us and the touching refers only to bones - fossils!
Chandler: All right, kids, I gotta get to work. If I don't input those numbers... it doesn't make much of a difference.
Chandler: Now, remember, Ben, keep your balance. Ben: Thanks, daddy. Ross: No, remember, Ben, two mommies, one daddy.
[Ross and Joey's first meeting] Ross: [glum] My wife's a lesbian. Joey: Cool. Chandler: Ross, this is Joey. Joey, Ross.
Monica: You don't like the game, because you suck at it. Chandler: I don't suck at it. It sucks. And you suck.
Phoebe: I'm going to get a coffee. Anybody want anything? Monica: I'll have a latte. Ross: I'll have a blueberry muffin, with a decaf. Chandler: I'll have a bagel with a little... Phoebe: You know I was just being polite.
Monica: I think I'd be great in a war. I'd, like, get all the medals. Chandler: Before or after you're executed by your own troops?
Ross: I love marriage. Phoebe: Seriously? You?... Divorce-O?
Ross: [after trying to kiss his cousin] [thinking] Ross: Say something. Say anything. Nothing you say could make this situation worse. Oh my God, this is the longest that anyone has not spoken EVER. [actually speaking to his cousin] Ross: I haven't had sex in a very long time. [thinking again] Ross: Yeah you really shouldn't have said anything.
Janice: [Janice walks downstairs and finds Monica and Chandler looking at her house] What a small world! Chandler: ...And yet, I never run into Beyonce.
Joey: You think I need a new walk? Chandler: What? Joey: Well I've had the same walk since high school and you know how when a guy walks into a room and everybody takes notice. I think I need a 'take notice' walk. Chandler: Are you actually saying these words?
Rachel: Wha... married? Ross: Well, yeah, I think we should get married! Rachel: What? Because that's your answer to everything?
Monica: Hi. Chandler: You are not gonna believe what I did today. Monica: Well, clearly you didn't shower or shave. Chandler: I got good. I played this game all day and now I rule. They should change the name to Ms. Chandler. [pause] Chandler: Although, I hope they don't. Monica: Wait a minute, you staid home all day playing Ms. Pacman, while I was at work like some kind of chump? Chandler: Yeah, and I got all the top ten scores and erased Phoebe off the board. High five! Monica: What is the matter with your hand? Chandler: Well, I've been playing for like eight hours. It'll loosen up, come on check out the scores. Oh, and also look at the initials, their dirty words. Monica: Chandler, why would you do that? Chandler: Because it's awesome. Monica: You think this is clever? Chandler: Well, they only give you three letters, so after A.S.S., it is a bit of a challenge. Monica: Wait a minute, this one's not dirty. Chandler: Well, it is, when you put it together with that one. Monica: Oh, well, if you don't clear this off, you wont be getting those from me. Ben's coming tomorrow over to play this game, this can't be there. Chandler: Come on, he wont even know what they mean. Monica: He's seven, not stupid. Chandler: Have you talked to him lately? Monica: All right, I'm just going to unplug it... Chandler: No, no, no, if you'll unplug it, then there will be nothing to show from my day. It would be like I was at work! [Monica unplugs it] Chandler: Look at that, look at that, it's still there, this thing must have a primitive ROM chip! Monica: You gotta beat your scores. Chandler: With the claw? Monica: Fine, I'll do it. We gotta get this off the screen. Carol and Susan are still upset that you taught him "Pull my finger". Chandler: Pull my finger... my hand is messed up!
Monica: Joey, what would you do if you were omnipotent? Joey: I'd probably kill myself. Monica: Excuse me? Joey: Hey, if "Little Joey"'s dead, then I got no reason to live. Ross: Uh, Joey... Omnipotent. Joey: You are? Ross, I'm sorry.
Ross: I guess I should have known... we'd be out somewhere, and a beautiful woman would go by, and Carol would go, "Ross, look at her." And I'd think, "My wife is cool."
Monica: [chasing after him] Chandler. It happens to lots of guys. You-you-you were probably tired, you had a lot of champagne, don't worry about it. Chandler: [motioning with his hands] I'm not worried, I'm uh, I'm fascinated. Y'know it's like uh, Biology. Which is funny because in high school I uh, I-I failed Biology and tonight Biology failed me.
[Upon hearing Ross practicing the bagpipe for their wedding] Monica: Why must your family be Scottish? Chandler: Why must your family be *Ross*?
[Joey is posing as a doctor in order to get information about a patient that Phoebe likes] [Just been told the patients date of birth] Joey: Age...? Patient: Can't you work that out by my date of birth? Joey: I'm a doctor, not a mathematician.
Ross: What are you doing? Chandler: Making chocolate milk. You want some? Ross: No thanks, I'm 29.
Joey: Hey Ross. If homo sapiens were in fact "homo sapiens", could that be why they're extinct? Ross: Joey, homo sapiens are people. Joey: Hey! I'm not judging here.
Ross: If you're going to call me names, I would prefer Ross, the Divorce Force. It's just cooler.
Chandler: Look, when Monica comes in, mention fire trucks. Joey: Why? Chandler: There's this guy at her work that she says is the funniest guy she ever met. Joey: How could she do that? She know being funny is your thing. Chandler: I know. So could you mention fire trucks when she comes in. Joey: I don't know. I'm not too good at memorizing lines. Chandler: [sarcastically] It's a good thing you don't have to do that for a living. Joey: I know.
Joey: [drinking a beer on the boat] Look at this clown. Just because he's got a bigger boat he thinks he can take up the whole river. [yelling] Joey: Get out of the way jackass. [to Rachel] Joey: Who names his boat Coast Guard anyway? Rachel: That is the Coast Guard.
Ross: Can I borrow your blue tie? Emma spit on mine. Chandler: Okay, but you'll have to give it back when I get a job. Of course, by then, ties will be obsolete and we'll all be wearing silver jumpsuits.
[Ross is trying to cheer Chandler up who won't get out of his sweatpants] Ross: C'mon man, just take 'em off, just take 'em off and we'll have some fun.
Ross: Chandler entered a Vanilla Ice look-alike contest and *won*! Chandler: Ross came fourth and cried!
Monica: Whose little ball of paper is this? Chandler: Oh, it's mine. I wrote a note to myself, and then I realized I didn't need, so I balled it up... [notices Monica's angry glare] Chandler: And now I wish I was dead.
Joey: Oh, I'm sorry. Did I get you? Chandler: It's an electric drill! You get me, you kill me!
Monica: [the Friends are at the beach] Okay, just don't go swimming right after you eat. Chandler: [to Joey] You know that's not really true. Joey: Try telling that to my Uncle Vinnie. Chandler: Why? What happened to him? Joey: Nothing; he just really believes that.
[Joey walks into the Central Perk coffee shop] Joey: Hey Gunther, have you seen Chandler? Gunther: I thought you were Chandler. [Joey looks disturbed] Gunther: [motioning to Chandler] Um, one of you is over there.
Phoebe: [explaining to Mike's parents and friends her song] And then it goes back to the chorus, "Smelly cat, smelly cat, it's not your fault" and that's it. [pause] Phoebe: I know you didn't ask but no-one had spoken for fourteen minutes.
Chandler: I can't say hump or screw in front of the b-a-b-y... I just spelled the wrong words didn't I?
Ross: You know, we should probably ask the doctor if she even knows how to deliver a baby that's half human, half *pure evil*!
Ross: Oh. *Oh*. Thank God, most women don't even feel them. Rachel: Okay, no uterus, no opinion.
Chandler: And this from the cry-for-help department: Are you wearing makeup? Joey: Yes, I am. As of today, I am officially Joey Tribbiani, actor slash model. Chandler: That's funny, 'cause I was thinking you look more like Joey Tribbiani, man slash woman.
Joey: I don't get it. Why can't we use the same toothbrush? We use the same soap. Chandler: That's different. The toothbrush has been in my mouth. Joey: OK. But next time you're in the shower, think of the first place you're washing, and the last place I washed.
Joey: Okay, some tricks of the trade. Now, I've never been able to cry as an actor, so if I'm in a scene where I have to cry, I cut a hole in my pocket, take a pair of tweezers, and just start pulling. Or ah, or, let's say I wanna convey that I've just done something evil. That would be the basic 'I have a fishhook in my eyebrow and I like it' [Does it by raising one eyebrow, and showing off the pretend fishhook] Joey: Okay, let's say I've just gotten bad news, well all I do there is try and divide 232 by 13. [looks all confused] Joey: And that's how it's done. Great soap opera acting tonight everybody, class dismissed.
[Monica tells the others that she and Chandler won't have any more sex before the wedding] Ross: A no sex pact! I have one of those with every woman in America!
[Joey has to sleep with a woman to get a part] Joey: I just don't think that I want it that way though, you know? I mean, let's say I do make it, all right? I'm always gonna look back and wonder if it was because of my talent or because of... y'know, the Little General. Chandler: Didn't you use to call it the Little Major? Joey: Yeah, but after Denise DeMarco, I had to promote it.
[doing a crossword puzzle] Ross: Heating device. Phoebe: Radiator. Ross: Five letters. Phoebe: Rdatr.
Rachel: Hey Ben, you know what? When you were a baby, you and I used to do all sorts of stuff together, coz I was your daddy's girlfriend. Ben: But you're not anymore. Rachel: No, no we're not. Ben: Coz you and dad were on a break.
[Rachel doesn't take his advice] Joey: Fine. No one ever listens to me. If the package is this pretty, no one cares what's inside.
Monica: What you guys don't understand is, for us, kissing is as important as any part of it. Joey: Yeah, right!... Y'serious? Phoebe: Oh, yeah! Rachel: Everything you need to know is in that first kiss. Monica: Absolutely. Chandler: Yeah, I think for us, kissing is pretty much like an opening act, y'know? I mean it's like the stand-up comedian you have to sit through before Pink Floyd comes out. Ross: Yeah, and-and it's not that we don't like the comedian, it's that-that... that's not why we bought the ticket. Chandler: The problem is, though, after the concert's over, no matter how great the show was, you girls are always looking for the comedian again, y'know? I mean, we're in the car, we're fighting traffic... basically just trying to stay awake.
Monica: Are you sure you peed on the stick right? Rachel: How many ways are there to do that?
Mike Hanigan: You're not gonna try and make me join a cult are you? Ross: No... Mike Hanigan: Oh okay. You just have that look. Ross: [to himself] Damn SuperCuts!
Monica: Anyway, are you gonna get a handyman to install all this stuff? Rachel: No, I was going to do this all by myself. Joey: [laughs] You're gonna do it? Rachel: Yeah. Why, you don't think a woman can do this? Joey: Oh, women can. You... can't.
[after settling a fight between Monica and Rachel] Phoebe: Hey, if we were in prison, you guys would be like my bitches.
Rachel: Oh, honey. Don't get up. What do you need? Phoebe: Oh, no. Oh, nothing. Rachel: Come on. I am here to take care of you. What do you need? Anything. Phoebe: Okay, I have a wedgie. Rachel: Okay, that is all you.
Joey: Could you close that window? My nipples could cut glass over here. Phoebe: Really? Mine get me out of tickets.
Chandler: You rent out these tuxes to celebrities for award shows. Rachel: Yeah. Chandler: You mean these tuxes have been down the red carpet with people screaming "Wow. You look fabulous." at them? Rachel: Honey, could I recommend watching a little bit more "ESPN" and a little less "E."?
Monica: Hey. Where's Joey? Chandler: Joey ate my last stick of gum, so I killed him. Do you think that was wrong?
Joey: I am telling this to Rachel. Monica: No, Joey. Joey: Unless... Chandler: Unless what? Joey: Unless you name your first born after me. Chandler: What? Why? Joey: Because, I may never have kids. Somebody's gonna have to carry on my family name. Chandler: Your family name is Tribianni. [pause] Joey: Oh ho ho. You almost had me there.
Chandler: I am an excellent secret keeper. I have kept all of out secrets. Joey: What secrets? Chandler: Oh no-no, Joey, I am not going to tell you because I am an excellent secret keeper. [the girls walk away] Joey: You'll tell me later? Chandler: You already know.
Joey: [Joey is talking on the phone to the mom of a girl he met in the hospital who is in labour] Joey Tribianni [pause] Joey: 25 [pause] Joey: Yeah I'm single [pause] Joey: Actor... hello?
Joey: Ooh-ooh-ooh. Are we opening presents? Monica: No. No. I shouldn't have even opened these. I mean I - Joey, I am out of control. Joey, you have to do me a favor. No matter what I say, no matter what I do, please do not let me open another present. Okay? Joey: Okay. Monica: Give me one more. Joey: Okay. [hands her one]
Ross: [receiving his Christmas gift] You got me a cola drink. Chandler: And a LEMON LIME. Ross: You shouldn't have. I feel like I should get you another sweater. Joey: And last but not least. [Monica receives her gift] Joey: They're RIBBED FOR YOUR PLEASURE.
Monica: Joey, did you actually interview her before you asked her to move in? Joey: Of course I did. Monica: Well, what did you ask her? Joey: 'When can you move in?'.
[Chandler enters with a terrible hang-over] Monica: How ya doin'? Chandler: Well, my apartment's not there anymore because I drank it.
Nora Bing: Hi, Chandler. This is Dennis. He's a great guy... Nora Bing: [softly] ... and a fantastic lover. Chandler: Hello, Dennis. Thank you for pleasing my mother so.
[a ritual to get rid of bad-boyfriend karma] Phoebe: Okay, now we need the sage branches and the sacramental wine. Monica: All I have is oregano and a Fresca. Phoebe: That's okay. [Adds them] Phoebe: All right, now we need the semen of a righteous man. Rachel: OK, Pheebs, you know what? If we had that, we wouldn't be doing the ritual in the first place.
Ross: I would date her but there is a big age difference. Joey: Well think about it when you're 90... Ross: I know, she'll be 80 and it won't be such a big difference. Joey: No. What I was gonna say is when you're 90 you'll still have the memory of what it was like to be with a 20-year-old.
Joey: Heh. Let me get this straight. He got you to *beg* to sleep with him. He got you to say he *never* has to call you again. And he got you thinking this is a *great* idea? Phoebe: [weakly] Uh-huh. Joey: This man is my God!
[Joey enters wearing an elf costume. Chandler is in agony] Chandler: Too many jokes. Must mock Joey.
Phoebe: Oh, look. Ugly Naked Guy is decorating his Christmas tree. Wow, you should see the size of his Christmas balls.
Rachel: [upset] All right, well, if you must know... I had a traumatic... swing incident... when I was little. Ross: Seriously? Rachel: Yes, I was 4 years-old and I was on the swing and then all of a sudden my hair got tangled in the chain. And to get me out my mom had to - had to cut a big chunk of my hair. [she starts crying] Rachel: And it was uneven for weeks. Ross: [sarcastically] And you made it through that? I wonder who's gonna play you in the movie. Rachel: Ok, fine. You can make fun of me. I do not want Emma going there. [pause] Rachel: And I was thinking Claire Danes.
[in Barbados, Rachel runs into Monica and Chandler's room in the morning and opens the curtains, it has been raining a lot] Monica: The sun is out! Chandler: [squinting in pain] Hey, remember when I had corneas?
Phoebe: Charlotte? You know, with the web? She has babies, then she dies. It's like, "Hey, mom, welcome home from the hospital." THUD.
Phoebe: I may play the fool at times but I'm a little more than just a pretty blonde girl with an ass that won't quit.
Joey Tribbiani: [after smelling potpourri] Well, this is like summer in a bowl!
Chandler: [after accidentally spitting out gum whilst trying to blow a bubble to "charm" Jill Goodacre] [thinks] Chandler: Just reach over and pick it up... [discreetly picks up gum from table and pops it back in mouth] Chandler: There we go! Good save! Now it's all good and you're... chewing someone else's gum. Oh, my God! Oh, my *God*! [suddenly starts to gag] Chandler: And now you're choking. Jill Goodacre: [frowns] Are you okay? [Chandler continues to choke and flashes a thumbs-up]
Chandler: What? What? What is it? That she left you? That she likes women? That she left you for another woman that likes women? Ross: A little louder, okay? I think there's a man on the twelfth floor - in a COMA - who didn't hear you.
Frank Buffay Jr.: My sister's having my baby.
Ross: Ok, look. You don't have to get married. We can just go home and take a shower. That's not so scary is it? Chandler: Depends on what you mean by "we".
[Rachel complaining about her father] Rachel: Oh, it was horrible. He called me "young lady". Chandler: Ugh, I hate when my father calls me that.
Joey: Va fa napoli.
[Chandler and Joey got two lawn chairs, a chick and a duck] Chandler: Could we BE more white trash?
[a beautiful women is checking out Chandler] Phoebe: [stands up] Ok, I need to get this right so give me a sec... [clears throat and talks in a deep voice] Phoebe: Yo, dude. Eleven o'clock, totally hot babe checkin' you out.
Monica: Okay. Wait-wait-wait. Shhh. [Bangs on her glass with a spoon to make a toast] Monica: Okay, umm, I just wanna say that... I love you guys so-so much and-and thank you for being here on my special night. [Chandler clears his throat] Monica: Our special night. I mean it just wouldn't be my-our-our night, if you all weren't here to celebrate with me-us-Damnit.
Ross: Oh, really? Well, I guess Monica should know about Atlantic City. Chandler: Du-ude! Monica: What happened in Atlantic City? Ross: Well, Chandler and I are in a bar... Chandler: Did you not hear me say, "Du-ude"? Ross: ...and this girl is making eyes at Chandler, okay? So after a while he just goes over to her and, uh, after a minute or two, I see them kissing. Now, I know what you're thinking. Chandler's not the type of guy who just goes to bars and makes out with girls. And you're right. Chandler's not the type of guy just goes to bars and makes out with girls. Monica: You kissed a guy? Oh my God. Chandler: In my defense, it was dark and he was a very pretty guy.
[On living alone] Joey: I thought it'd be great, you know? have some time alone with my thoughts... turns out, I don't have as many thoughts as you'd think.
Chandler: My dad slept with Mr. Gribaldi. Monica: Who's Mr. Gribaldi? Chandler: DOES IT MATTER?
Joey: [thinking] OK, I have no feelings for Rachel. No feelings at all. She's just a friend. I mean, I might have had some feelings for her, but now they're all gone. All of them. As a matter of fact, I don't think I ever had feelings for Rachel. [Rachel walks into the room] Rachel: Hey, sweetie. Joey: [thinking] I love you.
Rachel: How about for a girl, Rain? Ross: Rain? "Hi, my name is Rain. I have my own kiln and my dress is made out of wheat." Phoebe: I know her!
Ross: [clinks wine glass] Uhh, excuse me. If I could have everybody's attention. I'm Ross Geller. Jack Geller: DR. Ross Geller. Ross: Dad... Please. Anyway, as I was saying, I'm Dr. Ross Geller...
Rachel: I'm not someone who goes after a guy five minutes after he's divorced. Monica: No, you go after them five minutes before they get married...
Ross: [leaning over and talking to Rachel's lap] I can't wait to play with you all day, and to hear your first words. Phoebe: [wide eyed] Why are you letting him talk to your crotch that way? Rachel: He's talking to the baby. Phoebe: Oh, that's good. Because when I heard, "I can't wait to hear your first words" I thought, "Boy that's some trick!"
Chandler: The only way I would've said six would have been if I had said, "Let's meet at seven, not at six." Monica: The only way I would've said seven, would have been if I had said, 'Wow, my boyfriend is such a wiseass... Seven!'

[long, awkward pause] Rachel: My gynecologist tried to kill me.
Phoebe: [Rachel's hormones are raging] She's going through her fourth month of pregnancy. Remember when I was in my fourth month? Monica: Yes, that was the Evander Holyfield period.

Ross: I figured after work, I'd pick up a bottle of wine, go over there, and try to... woo her. Chandler: Hey, you know what you should do? Take her back to the 1800's when that phrase was last used.
Chandler: [Monica thinks their maid stole her pants and bra] Monica, come on do you really think that she would steal from us, then come back and wear it right in front of you? Monica: Don't you see? It's the PERFECT crime! Chandler: [acting as outraged as her] She must have been planning this for years!
Monica: Did you just smell my hair? Pete: No. Monica: Oh my God, you still have feelings for me, don't you? Pete: No I don't. Monica: None at all? Pete: Okay I love you, is that so wrong?

Gunther: Hey buddy, this is a family place. Put the mouse back in the house.
Rachel: [looking sad after finding out Joey's girlfriend, Kristin was just a loner, not looking for a serious relationship, when Rachel and Phoebe wanted their realtionship to work] Well, I guess it wasn't Cupid that brought her here after all. Phoebe: No, just another regular flying dwarf.
Monica: Pack your things, we're going to Vegas. Chandler: You mean, we're just gonna elope? This is great. We're gonna save so much money. And, no more pain-in-the-ass planning. [Monicas stares at him] Chandler: Oh, we're not going to elope. We have so much money, could our wedding please be bigger?
Joey: Oh, yeah. Go for it man, jump off the high dive, stare down the barrel of the gun, pee into the wind. Chandler: Yeah, Joe, I assure you if I'm staring down the barrel of a gun, I'm pretty much peeing every which way.
Joey: [during Ross's speech, Joey laughs every time he hears 'homo erectus'] Ha, Ha, he said 'erectus'. [notices Rachel is also laughing] Joey: Erectus? Rachel: [stifling laugh] No, 'homo'.

[Rachel is trying to stall Monica from getting ready] Rachel: I'll just become a lesbian Monica: Any woman would be lucky to have you
[Chandler fell asleep, during Joey's movie. The credits roll, and Chandler wakes up] Chandler: Great show. Good work, Joey. Joey: You liked it? Chandler: Liked it? I loved it. Joey: What did you like best about it? Chandler: I liked... everything the whole show. Joey: What about the specifics? Chandler: Specifics? Specifics were the best part.

[Joey plays Victor, she plays Adrienne] The Director: Peel the onion. First of all, he's good-looking. Joey: Yeah. Kate Miller: I think my character's gonna need a little bit more of a reason than that. Joey: Oh, hey, how about this one? It says so in the script! Y'know, I don't know why my character likes you either, I mean, it says in the script here that you're a bitch. Kate Miller: It does not say that in the script. Joey: It does in mine!

Chandler: Yeah you gotta love the talking. Monica: And the sex? Chandler: Alright we hadn't have sex yet. Okay. What's the big deal?This is special. I want our love to grow before moving to the next level. Rachel: Oh, chandler, that is so nice. Ross: That is really nice... Lying! No way is that the reason. Rachel: Why? Just because you're not mature enough to understand something like that? Chandler: He's right. I'm totally lying. Monica: Then what is it? Chandler: Kathy's last boyfriend was Joey. Ross: And you're afraid you won't be able to fill his shoes? Chandler: No. I'm afraid I won't be able to make love as well as him. Ross: I was going for the metaphor. Chandler: Yes and I was saying the actual words. Monica: Big deal. So Joey has had a lot of girlfriends. That doesn't mean he's great in bed. Chandler: We share a wall. So either is great in bed, or she just liked to agree with him a lot. Monica: With you it's gonna be different. The sex is gonna be great because you guys are in love. Chandler: Yeah? Ross: Just go for it Chandler. Monica, Rachel: Yeah you should. Chandler: All right. All right. I'll sleep with my girlfriend. But I'm just doing it for you guys.

Rachel: Yeah, well, word of advice: Bring back the comedian. Otherwise next time you're gonna find yourself sitting at home, listening to that album alone. Joey: [pause] ... Are we still talking about sex?
Janice: It's a small world after all. Chandler: Yeah. And I still don't get bumped into Beyonce!
[Chandler is caught smoking] Phoebe: Oh, I can't believe you. You've been so good, for three years. Chandler: And this- is my reward. Ross: Hold on a second, all right? Just think about what you went through the last time you quit. Chandler: Okay, so this time I won't quit.
Phoebe: Quit being so "testosterony". Chandler: ...The real San Francisco treat.
Chandler: Hey, you guys in the living room all know what you want to do. You know, you have goals. You have dreams. I don't have a dream. Ross: Ah, the lesser known "I Don't Have a Dream" speech.
Rachel: Cool. "Urkel" in Spanish is "Urkel."
Joey: What? You made a bet. A bet is a bet. You bet on a bet, and if you lose you lose the bet.
[after having sex with Rachel's boss] Rachel: You promised you would break up with her. Chandler: I did break up with her. She just took it really, really well.
Ross: So, uh, how long are you going to punish him? Joey: Five years. Ross: You've sentenced him? Joey: Hey, don't do the crime if you can't do the time.
[pounding a scone] Ross: Stupid British snack food. Chandler: Did they teach you that in your anger management class?
Chandler: And by the way, Count Rushmore doesn't exist. Joey: Oh yeah? Then who's the guy who painted all the faces on the mountain?
Richard: [about Chandler & Joey] They're different from my other friends, they don't start sentences with "you know who just died shoveling snow?"
Rachel: Are you sure that on some level you don't want to take off my bra? Joey: I don't have another level!
[Chandler's trying to quit smoking] Chandler: Eww, Lambchop. How old is that sock? If I had a sock in my hand for thirty years it'd be talking too. Ross: Okay, I think it's time to change someone's nicotine patch. [does so] Chandler: [deadpan] Ooh, I'm alive with pleasure now.
[Rachel, Phoebe and Joey have just found out that Chandler, Ross and Monica went to an after party with Hootie and the Blowfish] Phoebe: What's on your neck? Monica: That? That would be the work of a Blowfish.
Chandler: Stay... stay. Good fake dog.
Chandler: [dancing and singing] She's on the other line, gonna call me back, she's on the other line, gonna call me back. Monica: Don't you still have to pee? Chandler: That's why I'm dancing.
Ross: Rachel won't talk to me. She won't even let me in the apartment. Phoebe: Hmmm, I wonder why, pervert? Ross: I'm not a pervert. Phoebe: Please, that's the pervert motto. They have you raise your right hand, put your left hand in your pants and say that.
Chandler: [to a woman] Come on, I'll show you to my room... Wow, that sounds weird when it's not followed by "No thanks, it's late".
Ross: You guys won't believe what I have to do for work today! Chandler: Yes, but Ross you chose a career of talking about dinosaurs.
[When asked if he knows anything about chicks] Chandler: Fowl? No. Women?... No.
Monica: Is it me? Is it like I have a beacon that only dogs and men with severe emotional problems can hear?
Joey: Well, I'm sorry if I'm not a middle-aged black woman. And I'm also sorry if sometimes I go to the wrong audition.
Gunther: Here is tour coffee. Ross: Thanks Gunther, or "dank je wel voor de koffie". Gunther: You are speaking Dutch - "heb je familie daar?" Ross: Yeah we are done. Gunther: Ezel.
Ross: [on Monica's phone] Yeah, Tony, hold on. [gets second line] Ross: Hello? Yeah, she's right here. Hold on. [returns to second line] Ross: Yeah, Tony I'll call you back. It's my sister's boyfriend. [switches back to second line] Monica: Give me that. [into phone] Monica: Hi sweetie. Before I forget, did I leave my diaphragm at your house? [pause] Monica: Oh, hi mom. [starts throwing things at Ross]
Joey: Hey Mon, I got a question for you. Monica: Okay, for the bizillionth time, yes I see other women in the shower at the gym, and no I don't look.
[Chandler's drunk from having jello shots] Monica: Stick out your tongue. Chandler: Take off your shirt.
[Reading Rachel's "romance novel."] Monica: "Throbbing pens"? Don't wanna be around when he writes with those.
Monica: Look, Chandler, I feel really bad about this. Please have this bachelor party. Chandler: No. Monica: Stop being a baby and watch the hot woman get naked. Chandler: ...All right. Joey: YEAH. Chandler: But, I'm only doing this for you... And Joey. Monica: Ok, so who's going to be there? Chandler: No, no, no. Just Ross and Joey is humiliating enough. Ross: Well, actually, I have a date tonight. Chandler: Yeah, I understand. What kind of guy would blow off a date for a fake bachelor party. Joey: [on cell phone] Yeah, baby, I'm not gonna make it tonight...
Ross: I'm FINE!
Ross: All right, I'll tell you why you're a bad driver. You're fast and irresponsible. Rachel: Well, excuse me but in high school that made me head cheerleader.
Chandler: Rachel, it's the Visa card people. Rachel: Oh, okay. Will you take my place? Chandler: All right. [on phone] Chandler: Yes, this is Rachel.
Jack Geller: I remember when we first got engaged. Chandler: Oh, I don't think I ever heard that story. Monica: Oh dad, really you don't need to... Jack Geller: [ignoring her] Well, I'd gotten Judy pregnant. I still don't know that happened. Judy Geller: [incredulous] You don't know how that happened? Your dog thought my diaphragm was a chew toy.
Rachel: [upon receiving her first paycheck] Who's FICA? Why is he getting all my money?
[Ross is wearing a white suit] Monica: I like it even better on you than on Colonel Sanders. Ross: Look, I just came here to tell you guys something. Rachel: Oh. Was it how you invented the cotton gin?
Chandler: Look, Ross, you gotta understand, between us we haven't had a relationship that has lasted longer than a Mento. You, however have had the love of a woman for four years. Four years of closeness and sharing at the end of which she ripped your heart out, and that is why we don't do it. I don't think that was my point.
Eddie: [Chandler just asked him to move out] This is kinda out of the blue, isn't it? Chandler: No, no, no. This isn't out of the blue. This is smack dab in the middle of the blue.
Rachel: Thank you for my beautiful earrings, they're perfect. I love you. Ross: Oh, now you can exchange them if you want, okay? Rachel: Now I love you even more.
[At an audition] Joey: Come on, give me another chance. I can do a southern accent. [with Jamaican accent] Joey: Ya, mon.
Joey: There's no juice for the people who need the juice and want the juice and I need the juice.
Joey: Just because she went to Yale drama, she thinks she's like the greatest actress since, since, sliced bread! Chandler: Ah, Sliced Bread, a wonderful Lady MacBeth. Joey: God, I just, I hate her! I hate her! With her, "Oh, I'm so talented." and "Oh, I'm so pretty," and "Ooh, I smell so good." Chandler: I think somebody has a crush on somebody. Joey: Hey, Chandler, can we please stay focused on my problem here? Y'know? Chandler: I'm talking about you. You big, big freak.
Ross: [waiting for Rachel and Monica to come out of the bathroom] Good, good, good. So, is uh, was your moustache, did, used to be different? Richard: No. Ross: Oh. How do you uh, ya know, keep it so neat? Richard: I have a little comb. Ross: Oh. And what do you call that? Richard: A moustache comb.
Phoebe: We can be guys. Come on, let us be guys. Chandler: You don't want to be guys, you'd be all hairy and you wouldn't live as long.
Janice: Goodnight my Bing-a-ling.
[advising Ross about Rachel] Joey: You waited too long and now you're in "The Friend Zone".
Rachel: [Referring to Ross's new girlfriend] Ooh look, she's touching his leg. Phoebe: Oh you see, that's probably nothing she's very sexually aggressive.
[Joey's mom is talking about his father's mistress] Gloria Tribbiani: In a perfect world, she wouldn't exist. And your father would look like Sting.
Joey: It's just my character that's not brain-dead.
Ross: The door's closed! I can't see anything with the door closed! Chandler: And the inventor of the door rests happily in his grave.
Chandler: Am I sexy in Tulsa?
Chandler: You know what they say, ask your slippers a question... you're going crazy.
Phoebe: It's raining. I don't like to fly in the rain. Joey: Oh, I'm going to go for a walk in the rain. Rachel: Oh... me too! Phoebe: Huh! I bet they're doing it!
Joey: Of course it was a line! Monica: Why? Why? Why would anyone do something like that? Ross: I assume we're looking for an answer more sophisticated than, "to get you into bed."
Ross: I had a dream last night where I was playing football with my kid. Joey, Chandler: That's nice. Ross: No, no, with him. I'm on this field, and they, they hike me the baby. I know I've gotta do something 'cause the Tampa Bay defense is comin' right at me. Joey: Tampa Bay's got a terrible team. Ross: Right, but, it is just me and the baby, so I'm thinkin' they can take us. And so I uh, I just heave it downfield. Chandler: What are you crazy? That's a baby! Joey: He should take the sack? Ross: Anyway, suddenly I'm downfield, and I realize that I'm the one who's supposed to catch him, right? Only I know there is no way I'm gonna get there in time, so I am running, and running, and that, that is when I woke up. See, I am so not ready to be a father. Chandler: Hey, you're gonna be fine. You're one of the most caring, most responsible men in North America. You're gonna make a great dad. Joey: Yeah, Ross. You and the baby just need better blocking.
Joey: How come we don't have jam at our place? Chandler: Because the kids need shoes.
Chandler: Did you do it on our invitations? Ross: Not on the ones we sent out. Chandler: Oh, so it was on the ones, we had framed.
[Joey is making marinara sauce and filling every container possible with it. Chandler enters] Chandler: Whoa, whoa, so I'm guessing you didn't get the part... or Italy called and said it was hungry.
Joey: Anyway, I started working on what I'm gonna say at the ceremony, you wanna hear it? Monica, Chandler: Yeah! Joey: Now, listen, it's just the first draft so... "We are gathered here today on this joyous occasion to celebrate the special love that Monica and Chandler share. It is a love based on giving and receiving, as well as having and sharing. And the love that they give and have is shared and received. And through this having and giving and sharing and receiving, we too can share and love and have and receive." Chandler: [to Monica] Shouldn't we call the spitter?
Ross: I made Marcel's favorite: Banana cake... Joey: Mmm. Ross: ...with mealworm. Joey: Ugh.
Ross: So, uh, what did the insurance company say? Chandler: Oh, they said uh, "You don't have insurance here so stop calling us."
Ross: Did you see the kid on that nose?
[When one of Ross' male students claims to be in love with him] Ross: I mean, last year Elizabeth now-now this kid. What-what-what-what is it? Am I giving out some kind of... sexy professor vibe? Rachel: Not right now.
Phoebe: Soap Opera Digest. That's one of my favorite digests.
[Monica and Chandler are having sex in the other room] Joey: You can't have s-e-x in front of a b-a-b-i-e
Ross: Hey who is this Casey? Why's he calling Rachel? Chandler: Well I'm guessing he wants to do a little dance... You know make a little love... Well pretty much get down tonight... Ross: [puts message in cupboard]
Monica: Do you ever think about the future? Richard: Yeah, I think about the future. Monica: Am I in it? Richard: You are my future. Monica: Honey, you are about to get so lucky.
Rachel: I've never been to an analyst! Phoebe: And it shows.
Chandler: Where's Joey? His mom's on the phone. Monica: He's in the bathroom... I don't think you wanna go in there! Chandler: C'mon, we're roommates... Aaaaaaaagh! My eyes! My eyes!
Dr. Leonard Green: So, Geller, is this what you dumped my Rachel for, [points at Mona] Dr. Leonard Green: so you could hang around with this tramp! Mona: *Tramp*? Ross: Oh, uh; Dr. Green, Mona; Mona, Dr. Green.
[talking to Monica] Chandler: Yeah, I know it must be important to you when you start chattering like a monkey.
Chandler: You took your eggs and you left. Do you really expect me never to find new eggs?
Ross: I want someone who gets my heart pounding [sees Rachel] Ross: ... Someone who... Chandler: Little play things with yarn? Ross: What? Chandler: Could you want her more? Ross: Who? Chandler: Dee the sarcastic sister from "What's Happening".
Chandler: Goodbye, you fruit drying psychopath.
Chandler: [about Richard] Oh hey listen, don't be mad at him, it's our fault. I'm sorry we've been hoggin so much of his time. Joey: Yeah, he's just really great to hang around with. Richard: Well... Joey: No, I'm serious. Chandler and I were just talkin' about this. He is so much cooler than our dads. [Chandler kicks, out of sight] Joey: I mean, you know, our dads are okay, you know? But Richard is just- ow, ow. [to Chandler] Joey: What are you kickin' me for, huh? I'm tryin' to talk here.
Janice: Chandler Bing.
Ross: Hey, remember when I had a monkey? Yeah, what was I thinking?
Rachel: Come on. You guys can pee standing up.
Ross: So I don't know if he's testing me or just acting out but my monkey is OUT OF CONTROL!... He keeps erasing the messages on my machine! Rachel: Oh yeah... I've done that Ross: And a few days ago he got to the newspaper before I did and peed all over the crossword! Rachel: I've never done that Ross: And last night I don't know what he did but there were capers EVERYWHERE!
Chandler: Ok, I'm just going to go outside. Ross: Whoa, whoa, hold it. Chandler: Don't worry. I'm not going to run away again. I just want to get some fresh air. Ross: Ok. Chandler: [exits into hallway and lights a cigarette] Ahh, fresh air...
[In response to a stupid comment] Chandler: You have to stop the Q-Tip when there's resistance.
Monica: That's probably because their nerves are deadened from being so stupid.
Rachel: So are things between you and Joey getting any better? Chandler: It couldn't get any worse. Last night, I spent eight hours calling him, trying to get him to talk to me. Rachel: Oh, wow. Eight hours. So you could probably really use one of those plug-in telephone headsets, huh? Ross: Should we all expect Christmas gifts that can be stolen from your office? Rachel: You shouldn't.
Chandler: Where is Ross at? Hasn't he checked out yet? Monica: Are you kidding me? It's not 11:00 yet that means Ross still has 11 mins to check out of the hotel, and Ross has NEVER checked out of a hotel early. Rachel: Oh yeah that's right. One time Ross and I were at a hotel and we got a late check out... Ross was so happy it was the best sex we ever had! Phoebe: Ohhhhhhh! Rachel: That is until he screamed out RADISON at the end. Phoebe: Yeah that'll kill it.
Ross: You're crazy! Benjamin Hobart: Crazy? Or... Romantic? Ross: Crazy! Benjamin Hobart: Ooor... Ross: Get out!
Ross: Okay, there you go. Rachel: Sure. Sure, I'll just sit next to the... transsexual from purchasing.
Joey: Get your sorry, non-believer ass out of my chair.
Joey: Want some jam? Chandler: No thanks, I just had a jar of mustard.
Phoebe: Oh, my God! The foster puppets!
Phoebe: [Imitating someone really annoying] "Oh, I slept with Billy Joel." Who hasn't?
Rachel: Well, oh, Mark, I'm doing this for the wrong reasons, y'know? I'm just doing it to get back at Ross. I'm sorry, it's not very fair to you. Mark: Ahh! Fair, schmair! Y'know? Look, if you want to get back at Ross, I am here for you. Really? No-no, I say-I say, I say we get back at him right on this couch. Right here!
Mona: Thanks for showing me your pre-fossilized rock collection. You got 300 of them. It was fascinating. So, we still on for tonight? Ross: Sure. Mona: Ok. Bye. Ross: Bye. Chandler: [to Ross] Wow, you must be great in bed.
Monica: Whoa. Where you going in those pants? 1982?
[Chandler walks in] Joey: You know, with that goatee, you kinda look like Satan.
Chandler: So, is he house trained or is he going to leave little bathroom tiles all over the place?
Chandler: I know they call this a love seat but I'm not feeling anything special towards you... Ross: [takes newspaper... folds it up... faces Chandler... and hits him... ]
Phoebe: Hey. Why isn't it Spidermen? You know, like Goldmen, Silvermen. Chandler: Because, it... it's not his last name. Phoebe: It isn't? Chandler: No. It's not like Phil Spidermen. He's a spider *man*. You know, like Goldmen is a last name but there's no gold man. Phoebe: Oh, oh okay... Phoebe: There should *be* a gold man!
Phoebe: You name one woman that you broke up with for a real reason. Chandler: Maureen Rosilla. Ross: "'Cause she doesn't hate Yanni" is not a real reason.
[Trying to fix up Monica with a date] Joey: Aw, c'mon, this guy's perfect for you. Monica: No, not after your cousin who could belch the alphabet.
Ross: What the hell are you doing, you scared the crap out of me!
Julie: [Monica has told everyone about Chandler's third nipple] You know, Chandler, in some cultures a third nipple is considered a mark of virility. The most desirable women dance naked around you so you can make your pick. Chandler: Ah, would any of these cultures be in the tri-state area? Julie: Sorry.
Dr. Long: [It's triplets] Doctors are wrong all the time.
