Monica: Oh, God, he's gonna do it now. Please, I cannot watch this. Let's go.
Chandler: I think we have some time. Have you ever heard him talk? "Uh, Phoebe, um, I would be honored if, uh, uh" Spit it out, David!
David: Uh, Phoebe, um...

David: [mumbling] I was just saying-
Phoebe: Speak up.
David: Sorry, l was just saying to my friend that I thought you were the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen in my life. And then he said that he thought-
Max: Daryl Hannah
David: -was the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen in his life. And then I said I liked her in Splash a lot, but not so much in Wall Street. I thought she had a-
Max: hard quality-
David: And while Daryl Hannah is beautiful in a conventional way, you are luminous with a kind of a delicate grace. Then that's when you started yelling.

Phoebe: Oh, my God, that's David.
Monica: Who?
Phoebe: David, the scientist guy. David that I was in love with. David who went to Russia and broke my heart, David.
David: Oh, my God!
Phoebe: Oh, you say someone's name enough, they turn around.

David: Yes, but you should know, she really likes you. In fact, I don't think you realize just how lucky you are, fella.
Mike: Don't point your finger at me.
David: Why? What are you gonna do about it?
Mike: Well, I'll show you what I'm gonna do about it.
David: Oh, really? Really?
Mike: You want some of that?
Phoebe: Stop it! Stop it! Before someone gets really hurt. Here, David, you should just go.
David: All right. But if I ever do come back from Minsk, well, you just better watch out.
Mike: Well, if I ever go to Minsk, you better watch out.
David: Oh, you're going to Minsk?
Mike: Well, I might.
David: Really? Well, if you do, come in the spring. It's just lovely there.

Phoebe: What are you doing here?
David: Well, I'm back from Minsk. Permanently.
Phoebe: Well, what happened?
David: Well, remember how I was trying to achieve the positronic distillation of subatomic particles?
Phoebe: Yeah.
David: Well, after eight years of research, I discovered that ... that it can't be done.

David: Phoebe. You're an amazing woman, and the time we spent apart was unbearable. Of course, the sanitation strikes in Minsk didn't help.
Phoebe: Sure, okay.

Mike: Phoebe, I love you. I've missed you so much these last few months. And I thought we were apart for a good reason but then I suddenly realized that there was no reason good enough to keep me from spending the rest of my life with you.
David: Kind of steps on the toes of what I was going to say.
Mike: I'm sorry, David, but she really has to know this.
David: All right, but after this, I want to see you outside. If the rain stops.

Phoebe: I love you, but I never needed a proposal from you. I just needed to know that we were headed somewhere. You know, that we had a future.
Mike: We can have any future you want.
David: Okay, well, I'm gonna take off.
Phoebe: David, I'm so sorry. I'm sorry.
David: Just so I know, if I had asked first?
Phoebe: Yeah, I might have said yes, but that would've been wrong.
David: Please, you don't have to explain. I mean, perhaps if I hadn't gone to Minsk things would have worked out for us, and I wouldn't have ruined my career. Or lost that toe to frostbite. It was a good trip.

Phoebe: Of course I would want to see you. I think about you all the time.
David: Really? Because I think about you all the time.
Phoebe: Really?
David: There's a statue in Minsk that reminds me of you so much. I mean, it's actually of Lenin but, you know, at certain angles.

David: There's an old Russian expression that goes [speaks Russian]. Roughly translated, that means: "This thing that I'm looking at: Wow."
Phoebe: Thank you. You should see me when- Actually, no, I look pretty good.
