Quote from Ross in The One With Ross's Step Forward
Ross: Maybe I need some kind of a gesture. You know, something that says we're moving forward without having to talk about it. Monica: Like asking her to move in with you? Ross: Smaller than that. Monica: Making her a mix tape? Ross: Bigger than that. Phoebe: Give her a key to your apartment. Ross: Whoa, hello. We were closer with the mix tape. Monica: Have you said, "I love you"? You could say "I love you". Ross: I don't think I'm quite there yet. But I could say, "I love spending time with you." Phoebe: We hate that. Monica: That is a slap in the face. Ross: Forget it. You know what? I'll just have the conversation. I'll just say I like things the way they are, and hope for the best.
