Quote from Ross in The One with the Morning After
Rachel: And yet she was worth jeopardizing our relationship. Ross: Look, I didn't think there was a relationship to jeopardize. I thought we had broken up. Rachel: We were on a break. Ross: That, for all I knew, could last forever. That to me is a breakup. Rachel: You think you're gonna get out of this on a technicality? Ross: I'm not trying to "get out" of anything. I thought our relationship was dead. Rachel: Well, you sure had a hell of a time at the wake.
