Quote from Joey
Chandler: Would you put that back on. Monica is going to be here any minute.
Joey: But it hurts my Joey's apple.
Chandler: Okay, for the last time, it's not named after each individual man.
Quote from Joey
Chandler: Well, here we are. Just a bunch of 30-year-olds.
Ross: Wow. Do you realize in 10 years we're gonna be 40?
Joey: Why, God? Why are you doing this to us?
Quote from Joey
Rachel: Oh, come on, you guys, is it just me? Am I overreacting?
Chandler: No, Rach, it's not just you. My 30th birthday certainly wasn't that much fun.
[flashback:]
Joey: And now Chandler! We're all getting so old. Why are you doing this to us?
Quote from Ross
Ross: Okay, is everybody clear? We're gonna pick it up and move it. All we need is teamwork, okay? We're gonna lift the car and slide it out. Lift and slide.
Rachel: Ross, I really don't think this-
Ross: Lift and slide.
Quote from Ross
Tag: This one's from me. It wasn't on your list, but hopefully you'll think it's really fun.
Rachel: A scooter.
Ross: Stick to the list. Always stick to the list.
Quote from Rachel
Tag: This is just because you're turning 30.
Rachel: Yeah, it is. But you're just a kid. I mean, you're 25.
Tag: Twenty-four, actually.
Rachel: Oh, God. You know what I wish? I wish you were six years older. Well, actually, if I'm wishing for stuff, I wish I was six years younger.
Quote from Joey
Joey: Come on, Rach, look turning 30 is not that big a deal.
Ross: Oh, really? Is that how you felt when you turned 30?
[flashback:]
Joey: Why, God, why? We had a deal. Let the others grow old, not me!
Quote from Rachel
Chandler: Will you just go help her get changed?
Rachel: Okay, but taking care of a drunk, naked woman seems like a job for Joey.
Quote from Jack Geller
Judy Geller: You've done a wonderful job with this party, Chandler. Everything looks so lovely.
Chandler: Well, not as lovely as you. I mean, I can't believe you would have a thirty-year-old daughter. And you, I can't believe you would have a tux that's 30 years old.
Jack Geller: It's older than that. Ross was actually conceived right near this tuxedo.
Quote from Joey
Tag: Ms. Greene would like to establish some ground rules before she comes out. She would appreciate it if you didn't use the words "old" or "downhill" or "They still look pretty damn good."
Joey: They do.
