Quote from Phoebe

Monica: He pooped in my shoe.
Phoebe: Which one?
Monica: The cute little black ones I wear all the time.
Phoebe: No, which one? The right or left? Because the left one is lucky.

Quote from Phoebe

Luisa Gianetti: Okay, are you aware possession of an illegal exotic is punishable by two years in prison and confiscation of the animal?
Phoebe: Oh, my God. You'd put that poor little creature in jail?
Monica: Pheebs, remember how we talked about saying things quietly to yourself first?
Phoebe: Yes, but there isn't always time.

Quote from Phoebe

Phoebe: Oh, my God.
Monica: What?
Phoebe: Something brushed up against my right leg.
Monica: What is it?
Phoebe: Oh, it's okay. It was just my left leg.

Quote from Chandler

Ross: Anyway, I figured after work, I'd pick up some wine, go over there and try to woo her.
Chandler: Hey, you know what you should do? You should take her back to the 1890s when that phrase was last used.

Quote from Phoebe

Phoebe: Oh, this is so intense. One side of my butt is totally asleep and the other side has no idea.

Quote from Rachel

Rachel: Okay. Okay, I checked. We have Earl Grey, English Breakfast, Cinnamon Stick, Chamomile, Mint Medley, Blackberry and- Oh, wait, there's one more. Lemon Soother. You're not the guy that asked for the tea, are you? Okay.

Quote from Phoebe

Phoebe: I'm sorry it wasn't one of those movies with guns and bombs and buses going really fast.

Quote from Chandler

Joey: All right. You're a monkey. You're loose in the city. Where do you go?
Chandler: Okay, it's his first time out, so he's probably gonna want to do some of the touristy things. I'll go to Cats. You go to the Russian Tea Room.

Quote from Ross

Rachel: I guess it would be different if I were with somebody.
Ross: Whoa, what. What happened to "Forget relationships. I'm done with men." The whole penis embargo?

Quote from Joey

Joey: Hey, I don't need violence to enjoy a movie. Just so as long as there's a little nudity.
Monica: There was nudity.
Joey: I meant female nudity. All right, I don't need to see Lou Grant frolicking.
Monica, Chandler and Phoebe: Hugh. Hugh Grant.
