Quote from Ross in The One with the Proposal (Part 2)
Rachel: I'm so sorry to hear about you and Elizabeth. Ross: Thanks. Yeah, I really thought we'd be able to make it work. I guess it just wasn't meant to be. Rachel: Yeah. Love. It's a tricky business, isn't it? Ross: I guess so. Rachel: So what do you say we make a pact? If you and I are both single by the time we're forty, we get married. I mean, we know each other, we like each other, we've already slept together, so you know there'll be no surprises there, you know what I mean. No, like, "What's that?" Ross: Oh, you want me to be your backup. Rachel: Exactly. Ross: Yeah. I already have one. Rachel: What? Who? Ross: Phoebe. Rachel: Phoebe? Wait a minute. But she just said Joey is her backup. Ross: Oh, I don't think so. Rachel: Ross, I just had a conversation with her and she said that she and Joey made a deal. Ross: That's impossible. I mean, we have had a deal for years. We shook on it. Although, believe me, she wanted to do a lot more than that.
