Season 2, Episode 19 - Aired March 28, 1996
Freaked out by his new roommate's behavior, Chandler demands Eddie move out the apartment.

Meanwhile, Rachel, Phoebe and Monica are captivated by a new book on female empowerment.
Quote from Phoebe
Monica: It is nothing like The Hobbit. It's like reading about every relationship I've ever had. Except for Richard.
Phoebe: Richard would never steal your wind.
Monica: No.
Phoebe: Because he's yummy.
Monica: Yes. But all the others.
Phoebe: Oh, yes. And the part about how they're always drinking from our pool of inner power.
But God forbid we should take a sip.
Joey: Anybody want a cruller?
Phoebe: Okay, this is a typical lightning-bearer thing. Right there. It's like "Hello. Who wants one of my phallic-shaped man-cakes?"
Quote from Joey
Ross: Thirty-five hundred dollars at "Porcelain Safari"?
Joey: My animals. The guy said they suited me. He spoke with an accent. I was all confused.
Quote from Joey
Ross: So suck it up, man. It's a job. It's money.
Joey: Hey, I don't need you getting all judgmental and condescending and pedantic.
Ross: Toilet paper?
Joey: Yeah.
Quote from Rachel
Rachel: So are we good?
Monica: We're good.
Rachel: We're good?
Phoebe: Yeah.
Rachel: Okay. Let me take these cakes back because they're going to take it out of my paycheck.
Quote from Phoebe
Monica: It's called Be Your Own Wind Keeper. It's about how women need to become more empowered.
Phoebe: But there's wind. And the wind can make us goddesses. Do you know who takes our wind? Men. They just take it.
Rachel: Men just take our wind?
Phoebe: Uh-huh, all the time. Because they are the lightning-bearers.
Quote from Estelle
Estelle: Don't worry about it, already. Things happen.
Joey: So you're not mad at me for getting fired and everything?
Estelle: Joey, look at me. Look at me! Do I have lipstick on my teeth?
Quote from Phoebe
Rachel: This is like reading about my own life. This book could have been called Be Your Own Wind Keeper, Rachel.
Phoebe: It don't think it would have sold a million copies but it would've made a nice gift for you.
Quote from Chandler
Eddie: I got us a new goldfish. He's a lot feistier than the last one.
Chandler: Maybe because the last one was made by Pepperidge Farm.
Quote from Monica
Phoebe: Question number 28. "Have you ever allowed a lightning-bearer to take your wind?" I would have to say no.
Monica: And I would have to say pa-huh.
Phoebe: What?
Monica: Do you not remember the puppet guy?
Rachel: Yeah, you totally let him wash his feet in the pool of your inner power.
Monica: And his puppet too.
Quote from Monica
Phoebe: Well, at least I didn't let some guy into the forest of my righteous truth on the first date.
Monica: Who?
Phoebe: Paul.
Monica: Oh.
