‘The One Where Rachel Is Late’

Season 8, Episode 22 -  Aired May 9, 2002

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 Ross

Rachel: Oh. What now, Ross, you're not gonna talk? How on earth will you ever annoy me? Oh, wait a minute, I know. [breathing heavily] I mean, you'd think the damn jalapeno would have cleared up your sinuses, but no. That's not enough- What are you doing?
Ross: I'm getting that baby out of you!
Rachel: Oh, God.
Ross: I know.
Rachel: Oh, no, no, no. I think my water just broke.
Ross: I am good!

Quote from Monica

Monica: 200.
Phoebe: Thank you.
Monica: That's it. I'm done. I don't care when the baby comes. No more betting.
Phoebe: Okay.
Monica: [phone rings] Hello? Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Okay. [to Phoebe] I guess we could bet one more time.
Phoebe: Is Rachel having the baby?
Monica: How did you know that. Joey. Chandler. It's time.
Phoebe: They're at the coffee house.
Monica: You know everything. Oh, wait. Double or nothing, I bet you the baby is over 7 pounds.
I bet you it has hair. I bet you it's a girl.
Phoebe: We know it's a girl.
Monica: I'll give you really good odds.

Quote from Joey

Ross: Hey, what are you guys looking at?
Joey: It's a poster for that WWI movie I'm in. Check it out.
Ross: Yeah? Wow. It looks really violent.
Joey: Yeah, I know. I'm coming soon to a theater near you. I'm in THX. I'm unsuitable for children.

Quote from Monica

Joey: Hey, guess what. I just talked to my agent and the premiere is next week and you're all invited.
Monica: Are we going to take a limo?
Joey: Sure. Why not?
Monica: I love taking limos when nobody died.

Quote from Rachel

Rachel: Well, obviously, I won't be able to come. For those who haven't checked their calendars, today's my due date. I just want to take a moment and thank you guys for how great you've been during this time. I really couldn't have done it without you. And I have loved these last 9 months. And even though I am so looking forward to the next part, I am really gonna miss being pregnant.

Quote from Rachel

Rachel: God. I have never been so uncomfortable in my entire life.
Phoebe: I know. I remember toward the end-
Rachel: Phoebe, that's a great story. Could you tell it while you're getting me some iced tea?
Oh, God, get out! Get out, get out, get out!
Chandler: Let's.

Quote from Joey

Joey: You hear that? I only get one extra ticket to my premiere. So somehow I have to pick between you three and Ross.
Rachel: What about me?
Joey: You said you didn't want to go.
Rachel: I don't, but I would still like to be acknowledged. Just because I'm pregnant, I'm invisible?
Joey: Definitely not invisible.

Quote from Monica

Monica: And, Joey, not that this should affect you at all, but if you were to pick me I was planning on wearing a sequin dress cut down to here.
Chandler: I haven't seen this dress.
Monica: Star in a movie.

Quote from Phoebe

Phoebe: Joey, you pick whoever you want. Okay, you just, listen to your heart. What does it tell you? Phoebe. Phoebe. Phoebe.
Joey: Well, uh... I think I want to take Chandler.
Phoebe: Phoebe, Phoebe, Phoebe, Phoebe, Phoebe, Phoebe. [mimics flat-lining noise]

Quote from Chandler

Joey: Yeah, I wish I could take everybody. But Chandler's always supported my career. He's paid for acting classes, headshots and stuff. This will be my way of paying you back.
Chandler: So you're never actually going to pay me back?
