Quote from Chandler

Joey: Soon. I'm gonna be on soon. There I am.
Nonna: No. Sam Waterston.
Joey: No, no. That's me. That's me!
Nonna: No. Sam Waterston. Crime Misdemeanor, Capricorn One.
Chandler: She doesn't know "hello," but she knows Capricorn One.

Quote from Chandler

Nonna: Joey?
Chandler: Joey's gonna be right back. Right back. Meanwhile, let's talk about you. So you're old and small.

Quote from Chandler

Ross: So, do you make the pizzas in one of those wood-burning ovens?
Caitlin: No, actually, I think they're gas.
Ross: Gas? Wow. Intense.
Chandler: If this is the way all the Gellers flirt, we don't have a problem.

Quote from Phoebe

Phoebe: Ross?
Ross: Yeah?
Phoebe: What else do they add smell to?

Quote from Rachel

Rachel: It's actually my friend Ross. He just gets really nervous when he's flirting.
Caitlin: Oh, my God. That was flirting?
Rachel: Yeah. I know, I know. But I'm telling you, once you get past that part where it just feels like you wanna die, he's a really good person.
Caitlin: The guy with the gas?
Rachel: Yeah. I'm telling you, he's really sweet and really funny and he's just got a good heart. Besides, I think he really likes you.
Caitlin: Really?
Rachel: Well, we have seven people and, like, 10 pizzas. What do you think?
Caitlin: I just thought Joey was there.

Quote from Chandler

Chandler: Ground control to Major Tom, Commencing countdown, Engines On.
Joey: That's a scene from next week's show. Next week.
Phoebe: I am definitely going to watch that.

Quote from Monica

Ross: Uh, how does my hair look?
Monica: Ross, it hasn't moved since 1996.

Quote from Ross

Ross: Hey, Pheebs. How's that vegetarian pizza working out for you? You and those vegetables have a real thing going on, huh?
Phoebe: Why are you being weird?
Ross: Do you like it?
Phoebe: No. That would be, "Why are you being cute?"
Ross: Okay. I'm working on my flirting.
Phoebe: Oh. I did not get that.

Quote from Chandler

Joey: My big scene's coming up.
Chandler: If you said, "Big lima bean bubbling up," would she know the difference?
