Quote from Chandler
Monica: You stink.
Rachel: Thanks.
Monica: No, I'm serious.
Rachel: That's because I went down there and they were smoking. This is actually the smell of success-
Chandler: But there's something different- Oh, my God. You smoked.
Rachel: I did not.
Chandler: Yes, you did. You look happy and sick. You smoked!
Quote from Joey
Joey: Hi, Ben. So you want to be an actor, huh? Well, I gotta tell you, it's no picnic. There's tons of rejection. No stability. I mean, one day, you're Dr. Drake Ramoray. The next day, you're eating ketchup right out of the bottle.
Quote from Phoebe
Phoebe: Did you notice the ice? Look, we have it all. We have crushed, cubed and dry. Watch. Ah. Mystical.
Quote from Chandler
Monica: No one's eating my Tuscan finger food because they're filling up on Phoebe's snow cones.
Chandler: There are snow cones? Snow cones, eurgh eugh.
Quote from Rachel
Rachel: This is so great. Look at all these cups. This is so weird.
Phoebe: I was in charge of cups.
Rachel: Oh, okay. Not so weird.
Quote from Monica
Monica: I just want you to know that, um, if we ever co-host a party together again you can do whatever you want.
Phoebe: You know, Joey's got a birthday coming up.
Monica: Really? What do you wanna do?
Phoebe: Um, okay, I'd like to be in charge of beer.
Monica: Well, then there's nothing left for me!
Quote from Chandler
Ross: I gotta go. I'm picking up Ben and then we're off to the big audition.
Monica: It's gonna be weird seeing some actor pretending to be Ben's dad.
Chandler: Weirder than seeing his two moms make out?
Quote from Joey
Phoebe: Great. Wanna do it together?
Monica: I would love to do it together.
Joey: [laughing] They're gonna do it together.
Chandler: Dude, that's my girlfriend.
Joey: Oh, so I got to shut it down now?
Quote from Chandler
Rachel: All right, fine! But I had to. I had to do it for my career.
Chandler: I wish I had to smoke for my career.
Quote from Monica
Phoebe: Check it out. Cup hat, cup banner, cup chandelier, and the thing that started it all: the cup.
Chandler: Great job with the cups, Pheebs.
Monica: Why don't you just go out with her?
