‘The One in Barbados (Part 1)’

Season 9, Episode 23 -  Aired May 15, 2003

Ross and his friends attend a paleontology conference in Barbados where he's scheduled to give the key note address. Monica intervenes when Chandler gives David advice on his relationship with Phoebe. Charlie helps Ross reconstruct his speech when his computer is wiped.

Quote from David

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.

Quote from David

David: So I'm proposing to Phoebe tonight.
Chandler: Tonight? Isn't an engagement ring supposed to have a diamond? Oh, there it is.
David: Yes, well, being a failed scientist doesn't pay quite as well as you might think. That's one-seventieth of a carat. And the clarity is quite poor.

Quote from Chandler

Chandler: Must be a virus. I think it erased your hard drive.
Ross: What? Oh, my God. What did you do?
Chandler: Someone I don't know sent me an e-mail and I opened it.
Ross: Why? Why would you open it?
Chandler: Well, it didn't say, "This is a virus."
Ross: What did it say?
Chandler: "Nude" ... "Pictures of Anna Kournikova."

Quote from Joey

Joey: Hey. I'm all packed and ready to go.
Ross: That's right. Daddy and Uncle Joey are going on a trip today. We're going to a conference in Barbados. Right? Can you say, "Barbados"?
Joey: Barbados.

Quote from Ross

Joey: All right, let's do it. A five-hour flight with Charlie, have a couple drinks, get under that blanket and do what comes natural.
Ross: It's a blanket, Joe, not a cloak of invisibility.

Quote from Joey

Charlie: Wow, this place is beautiful.
Ross: Look at all these paleontologists.
Joey: I know. There are gonna be some pasty folks by the pool tomorrow.

Quote from Monica

Monica: David, can you help me? I'm trying to explain to Chandler how a plane stays in the air.
David: Certainly. That's a combination of Bernoulli's Principle and Newton's third law of motion.
Monica: See?
Chandler: Yeah. That's the same as, "It has something to do with wind."

Quote from Phoebe

Phoebe: Now, tomorrow do you want to share a cab to the airport or should Mike and I meet you? Mike? Who's Mike?
David: Mike's your ex-boyfriend.
Phoebe: That's right. Oh, yeah. Wow, I had totally forgotten about him. That's a blast from the past, huh?

Quote from Monica

Phoebe: It really doesn't mean anything. I mean, you know Monica refers to Chandler as Richard all the time.
Chandler: She does?
Monica: Let's get you out of here.

Quote from Chandler

David: How do you think I should propose?
Chandler: David, I'm pretending to read here.
