‘The One Where Estelle Dies’

Season 10, Episode 15 -  Aired April 22, 2004

With Joey feeling overwhelmed by the recent changes in his life, Phoebe decides not to tell him that his agent, Estelle, has passed away. When Chandler and Monica view the house next door to their new property, they are shocked by a potential buyer who could become their neighbor. Meanwhile, Ross goes to extreme lengths to keep Rachel from taking a job in Paris.

Quote from Chandler

Rachel: I know, it's huge and it's scary, and it's really far, far away from you guys, but this is such an incredible opportunity for me. And I've already talked to them about our situation with Emma and they said they'll do whatever we need to make us feel comfortable.
Ross: Okay.
Rachel: I mean, I'll fly back and forth. They'll fly you out. Anything we want.
Chandler: My boss said I might be getting a new lamp in my cubicle.

Quote from Joey

Phoebe: Ooh, what's going on?
Rachel: I got a really incredible job offer.
Joey: Hey, great. All right.
Phoebe: Good for you.
Rachel: It's in Paris.
Joey: What? No, no, no. No, no no no, no. No, too much is changing, okay? First, Phoebe getting married. Congratulations! And then these two move to a stupid house in the stupid suburbs-
Monica: Hey, this afternoon you said you'd be supportive.
Joey: Well, it comes and goes. I wouldn't trust it.

Quote from Joey

Joey: No, no, no. My hugs are reserved for people staying in America.
Rachel: Joey, it would mean so-
Joey: Hey! No! Get your France-going-arms away from me.

Quote from Chandler

Phoebe: You okay with this?
Chandler: Well, it makes me feel sad, but-
Phoebe: Talking to Ross.
Chandler: I see.

Quote from Chandler

Monica: The house next door to the one that we're buying in Westchester, just went on the market. I wanna take a look at it, but Chandler doesn't.
Chandler: We close escrow tomorrow, so seeing another house can only confuse us and we're easily confused. We're not very bright.

Quote from Phoebe

Joey: Well, I wanna hear it, because she keeps doing it.
Phoebe: Well, no, no, wait, wait, wait. All right, I gotta go. Just listen. Promise me, that you will wait a minute before you call her.
Joey: Okay. Why?
Phoebe: Because a promise between friends means never having to give a reason.
Joey: I love that saying!

Quote from Ross

Ross: Emma left her stuffed T-Rex at my house. You know she can't sleep without it.
Rachel: Oh, well, she's asleep now. Stop forcing that thing on her.
Ross: Okay.

Quote from Joey

Phoebe: All right, so promise you're gonna wait for her to call you?
Joey: I promise. And that means, never having to give a reason.

Quote from Ross

Ross: So, what are you gonna do?
Rachel: Well, I took it.
Ross: That's great. So you're staying in New York. Yay!
Rachel: Whoo. Yay.
Ross: You're excited, right?
Rachel: Yeah. Yeah. You know, the money's great. It's certainly the easier choice.
Ross: Right.
Rachel: Yeah, you know, was I looking forward to going to Paris? Sure. You know, was I excited about working in the fashion capital of the world? Oh, absolutely. Oh. Yeah, but you know, this is- It's fine. I'm fine going back to a job where I've pretty much gotten everything out of that I possibly can.
Ross: Um, I had no you- I had no idea you were so excited about Paris. Um, I mean, you said you were scared.
Rachel: Well, yeah, but I mean I was a good scared, though. You know, like "when I moved to New York" scared or when "I found out I was gonna have Emma scared". But this is fine. This is gonna be good.
Ross: You should go.
Rachel: What?
Ross: It's what you want. You should go.
Rachel: You really think so?
Ross: I really do.
Rachel: But I already told Zelner that I would come back-
Ross: [picking up another dinosaur artifact] I'm sure he'll understand.

Quote from Phoebe

Monica: But what if it is better than ours? Shouldn't we at least look?
Chandler: What do you think Pheebs?
Phoebe: Well, I think that shirt makes you look like you should work at a Baskin-Robbins.
