Quote from Chandler

Monica: Hi, Dad. I can still call you that, right?
Jack Geller: Of course. I'll always be your dad.
Chandler: I just want you to know that what you witnessed in there, that wasn't for fun.
Monica: It wasn't fun?
Chandler: Why, why, why would you?

Quote from Monica

Rachel: Oh, I need to tell you something.
Monica: Well, now's a good time. I'm on my way to have my ears cut off.

Quote from Rachel

Ross: Joey, did you propose to her?
Joey: No.
Rachel: Yes, you did.
Joey: Actually, technically, I didn't.
Rachel: Well, then, why did you give me a ring?
Ross: Wait. You gave her the ring?
Joey: No. No, and I did not ask her to marry me.
Rachel: Yes, you did.
Joey: No, I didn't.
Rachel: Yes, you did.
Joey: No, I didn't.
Rachel: Yes, you did, and don't you say you didn't.
Joey: Argh.
Rachel: He was right there. He got down on one knee and he proposed.
Ross: Whoa. You were down on one knee?
Joey: Yeah. Yeah, that looks bad. But I didn't propose.
Ross: Then what did happen?
Rachel: Yeah, what did happen?
Joey: Okay, the ring fell on the floor, and I went down to pick it up and you thought I was proposing.
Rachel: Yeah, but you said, "Will you marry me?"
Joey: No, I didn't.
Rachel: Yes, you did.
Joey: No, I didn't.
Rachel: Yes, you did. [gasps] Oh, my God, you didn't.

Quote from Joey

Ross: I can't believe you told her I was gonna propose.
Joey: I can't believe you're not gonna propose.
Ross: Hey, I am not gonna rush into anything.
Joey: Oh, yeah, dude, I totally understand. Usually after I have a baby with a woman, I like to slow things down!

Quote from Ross

Rachel: So I guess we should make it official, huh?
Joey: Look, Rach, I- Hey, Ross is here. Hey, look, it's my good friend, Ross. Hey, Ross.
Ross: Hey, Joey. Hey, you.
Rachel: Hey, you.
Joey: And look, he brought flowers. Thanks, Ross. I'm really more of a candy kind of guy. [laughs]
Ross: You're weird today.

Quote from Jack Geller

Monica: Hi. Hey, look who's here.
Jack Geller: Where's my granddaughter? I've been practicing my magic tricks.
Chandler: He pulled a quarter out of my ear.

Quote from Monica

Ross: Hey, where's Mom?
Jack Geller: She went to pick up Aunt Liddy.
Monica: Ooh, Aunt Liddy's coming? That means we get $5 each.

Quote from Phoebe

Phoebe: Have you thought any more about you and Rachel?
Ross: Oh. Yeah, actually I was gonna talk to her when you guys all came in the room.
Phoebe: Yay. That's so exciting. Wow. You could've done that with us there.
Ross: Yeah, right.
Phoebe: Oh, sure. Okay. You can touch yourself in front of us, but you can't talk to Rachel.
Ross: What? What? When have I ever touched myself in front of you guys?
Phoebe: Oh, please. Just before, when you were asleep in the lounge. That Armenian family was watching you instead of the TV. Oh, that reminds me. That Mr. Hazmegian still has my Game Boy.

Quote from Joey

Joey: Chandler, can I talk to you for a second?
Chandler: Sure.
Joey: Dude, I just did something terrible.
Chandler: That was you? I thought it was Jack.
Joey: No, no. That was Jack.
