As Rachel grows increasingly frustrated that she's late, she's willing to try anything to induce labor. Meanwhile, Joey invites Chandler to his film premiere, and Phoebe and Monica bet on when Rachel's baby will be born.

Quote from Phoebe

Phoebe: When she comes out, you hold her nose, I'll blow in her mouth and the kid'll just [popping sound] right out of her.

Quote from Phoebe

Rachel: All right, whose turn is it to help me get up?
Phoebe: No one's here. Oh, damn it!

Quote from Rachel

Ross: Do you want to go change first? The doctor's staying open late for us, but if you hurry-
Rachel: No, I'm fine.
Ross: Really? You don't think that's a little inappropriate?
Rachel: What?
Phoebe: Good God, man. Don't anger it.
Rachel: Ross, it is 100 degrees outside. For the first time in weeks, I am-
Ross: Fine. Fine. Whatever you want. Okay. You're the mommy.
Rachel: No. Nuh-uh-uh, pal. Don't call me "Mommy." It's bad enough that you call your own mother that.
Monica: I'm actually with her on this one.

Quote from Rachel

Rachel: Hi, Dr. Long. How are you?
Ross: You're nice to her.
Rachel: She has the drugs.

Quote from Chandler

Chandler: Don't go. I'm so sorry. Look, this guy fell asleep. He fell asleep too. Be mad at him. Or call an ambulance.

Quote from Monica

Monica: Any news on when the baby will come?
Rachel: No, but she did give us some ideas on how to induce labor.
Ross: Yeah, we tried them all. We went for a walk, we tried special tea, castor oil, spicy food. Nothing worked.
Rachel: Well, there is one thing we didn't try. But someone thinks that that will open up a can of worms.
Monica: Well, what is it? What is it? If it's gonna help bring the baby here, like today, I think you should do it.
Ross: It's sex.
Monica: Do it!
Ross: Monica.
Monica: I'm just saying. It's been a really long time for you. I mean, women have needs. Do it. Get yours.

Quote from Phoebe

Phoebe: Oh, I don't know about that. No, I think if the two of you had sex, the repercussions would be catastrophic.

Quote from Monica

Monica: All right, let's be practical. If Ross isn't willing to do it, he's not the only guy you can have sex with. You could borrow Chandler. Chandler is good.
Ross: Monica, what is the matter with you?

Quote from Rachel

Monica: I just want the baby to be born today.
Rachel: Why? Why today?
Monica: Okay, fine. I keep betting Phoebe that you're gonna have the baby, and I don't want to lose again.
Ross: What? While she's been going through this hell, you've been making money? You're betting on your friend staying in this misery?
Rachel: I'll take that bet.
Ross: What?
Rachel: I'm miserable here. I may as well make some money out of it.
Ross: Can I get some of that action?
Monica: Wait a minute. Now I'm betting against all three of you?
Rachel: Honey. Don't worry about it. I really do feel like tomorrow it's gonna happen.
Monica: Oh, okay.
Rachel: [mouths] No way.

Quote from Joey

Joey: Okay, what else? Rent.
Chandler: Okay. Two, three years of rent, utilities, food-
Joey: Okay. Okay, so I'm writing you a check for... So you fell asleep during my movie. Big deal, right? How do you clear this thing?
