Quote from Joey in The One with Rachel's Big Kiss
Joey: Yeah, they're not coming. Monica: What? Joey: Somehow they got the idea that you only invited them because of me. They feel a little unwanted. Monica: Aw, that's too bad. It's true. But too bad. Joey: Look, Mon, if you could just call my mom. Monica: Joey- Joey: Come on, just let her know you want them there. Let's not forget, this is a woman who has sent you many lasagnas over the years. Monica: No, she hasn't. Joey: Is it her fault if some of them didn't make it to you?
