Joey struggles to find a moment to explain to Rachel that he did not actually propose to her. Meanwhile, Monica and Chandler keep searching for somewhere to conceive in the hospital, and Ross wants to talk to Rachel about getting back together.

Quote from Phoebe

Ross: Dad, Emma's in the nursery. I'll take you now if you want. But I really want to talk to you.
Rachel: I know. I still need to talk to you.
Joey: Okay, but before you guys do that, I need to talk to you. And, Ross, I need to talk to you.
Phoebe: Oh, and I need to talk to you.
Monica: About what?
Phoebe: To see if you know what these guys are talking about.

Quote from Joey

Joey: What the hell am I gonna tell him?
Chandler: Maybe you don't have to tell him.
Joey: Ooh, I like that.
Chandler: Yeah. If you clear things up with Rachel, Ross never needs to find out. But you have to do it now before he hears about it and kicks your ass.
Joey: All right, let's not get carried away.

Quote from Phoebe

Rachel: I think I just got engaged.
Phoebe: Oh, my God. He did it? What?
Rachel: Did you know he was gonna ask me?
Phoebe: Are you kidding? I'm, like, the one who talked him into it. I like to think of myself as the puppet master of the group.
Rachel: And you really think this is a good idea?
Phoebe: I just talked him into it. Don't tell me I have to do you too? The puppet master gets tired, people.

Quote from Rachel

Joey: You know what? I'll come back later.
Ross: Wow. Kind of a full house here. I guess I'll just I'll come back.
Phoebe: There he goes. Your fiance.
Rachel: I guess so.
Phoebe: Although he does play with himself in his sleep.
Rachel: I can't say I'm surprised.

Quote from Ross

Jack Geller: Wanna peek?
Ross: No!
Jack Geller: Come on.
Ross: You know what? I don't like you without Mom.

Quote from Ross

Phoebe: Congratulations. I didn't want to say anything in front of Joey because I didn't know if he knew yet.
Ross: What? That we had the baby? Now let's give him a little credit. Although he did eat a piece of plastic fruit earlier.

Quote from Phoebe

Phoebe: No, no, that you and Rachel are engaged.
Ross: What?
Phoebe: Oh, it's a secret? Oh, goody. Yes. Ooh, we haven't done the secret thing in a long time.
Ross: Phoebe, there is no secret, okay? I didn't propose.
Phoebe: Are you lying? Is this like that time you tried to convince us you were a doctor?
Ross: I am a doctor.

Quote from Phoebe

Ross: Oh, my God. She thinks we're engaged! Why? Why, why would she think we're engaged?
Phoebe: Perhaps because you gave her an engagement ring? You know, Ross, doctors are supposed to be smart.
Ross: I didn't give her that ring.
Phoebe: You didn't?
Ross: No!
Phoebe: So whose ring is it?
Ross: It's mine.
Phoebe: Is it an engagement ring?
Ross: Yes.
Phoebe: But you didn't give it to her?
Ross: No.
Phoebe: But you were going to propose?
Ross: No!
Phoebe: I might be losing interest in this.

Quote from Phoebe

Ross: Look, my mom gave me that ring because she wanted me to propose to Rachel. But all I wanted to do was see if she maybe, kind of wanted to start things up again.
Phoebe: What beautiful lukewarm sentiment.

Quote from Monica

Chandler: Look, we can't stay in here forever.
Monica: It's just- I still can't believe that my dad saw us having sex. He didn't make it to one of my piano recitals, but this he sees.
