‘The One Where Chandler Takes a Bath’

Season 8, Episode 13 -  Aired January 17, 2002

As Joey is driven crazy by his feelings for Rachel, Chandler and Monica get the impression he's infatuated with Phoebe. Meanwhile, Rachel and Ross debate names for their baby, and Chandler takes a shine to baths.

Quote from Ross

Rachel: You know what? I'm really coming around on the name Ruth. I think I would actually consider naming our child that.
Ross: Rach, I can't tell you how much that means to me. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. You hated the name Ruth. Why would you change your mind? Unless you know we're never gonna have to use it. You did see the folder. You know it's a boy.
Rachel: I didn't see anything. I actually changed my mind about the name.
Ross: Oh, I don't think so. You're just giving me Ruth so you'll get to name him when it's a boy. And that's when you'll swoop in and name him Heath or Blaine or Sequoia.

Quote from Phoebe

Phoebe: I know that things worked out for Chandler and Monica, but that's very rare.
Joey: I know. I know. And this is so much more complicated than it was for those guys. I mean, it's Rachel, for God's sakes.
Phoebe: For God's sakes, it's Rachel!
Joey: I know. I know. And she's not only my friend, she's my pregnant friend. She's my pregnant friend who's Ross's ex.
Phoebe: Yeah, that's Rachel. Beat me over the head with it.

Quote from Joey

Joey: What am I gonna do? I keep trying to get rid of these feelings, you know. I stayed up all last night and made a list of everything I don't like about her. You wanna hear it?
Phoebe: Yeah.
Joey: "She made me switch to light mayo." That's it. That's all I got! And you know what? Tastes the same and my pants fit better.

Quote from Rachel

Rachel: We're having a girl. Sometimes I can't believe it's with you, but still, we're having a girl.
Ross: I know. You know what? I'm putting Ruth back on the table.
Rachel: Oh. Yes, we'll have ourselves a little baby Ruth.
Ross: Permission to veto.
Rachel: Yes, please.

Quote from Phoebe

Joey: Dude, you gotta rearrange your bubbles.
Phoebe: Mazel tov.

Quote from Monica

Monica: It's nice to do this together, isn't it?
Chandler: Yeah. And what you're doing feels so good.
Monica: I'm not touching you.
Chandler: You're not?
Monica: It's the salts.
Chandler: Oh, sweet Lord, new realms of pleasure.
Monica: Whatever keeps you off the balcony, big guy.

Quote from Joey

Joey: [inner monologue] All right, it's a new day. That stuff about Rachel? You don't feel that now. It was crazy. You're fine. You're better than fine. You are, as your friend Tony would say", "Great!" Everything's normal. She's just your friend, Rachel. Your friend, Rachel. Your friend. Rachel.
Rachel: Hi, sweetie.
Joey: [inner monologue] Hey, it's your girlfriend, Rachel!

Quote from Chandler

Monica: Hi.
Chandler: Are you? Are you high?
Monica: I just had the most amazing bath.
Chandler: Really? I don't like baths.
Monica: Wait. You like them with me.
Chandler: Honey, it's not the bath I enjoy. It's the wet, naked lady.

Quote from Monica

Monica: Boy, do I have a surprise for you.
Chandler: Sex on the balcony?
Monica: No. But someone's really not gonna get over that idea, are they?

Quote from Chandler

Monica: I drew you a bath.
Chandler: Honey, I don't like baths. Could you draw me a picture of us having sex on the balcony?
