Quote from Phoebe
[loud knocking at Phoebe's door, followed by a beep]
Phoebe: Oh, my God! How did you get back here?
Fireman: Phoebe Buffay?
Phoebe: Fire Alarm?
Quote from Phoebe
Phoebe: How could you be beeping? I just disconnected you! I took out your battery! How can-? [beep] Don't interrupt me!
Quote from Phoebe
Phoebe: Oh, hi, Officer Fireman. Can I help you?
Fireman: We found your fire alarm in the trash chute.
Phoebe: That's not mine.
Fireman: Yes, it is.
Phoebe: How do you know?
Fireman: The next time you want to dump a fire alarm in the trash chute, don't use a blanket that says: "Property of Phoebe Buffay, not Monica."
Phoebe: Okay. Do you have a search warrant? Because the last time I checked, this was still America.
Quote from Joey
Joey: You know, when we talked about face to face I don't think we thought it all the way through.
Quote from Joey
Joey: Hey, don't look at me! You're the one who wanted to come up here and look for some stupid Burger King comet.
Quote from Phoebe
Phoebe: Okay, so this wire is connected to this wire, which plugs into here. Okay, so to get the beeping to stop, all I have to do... [Phoebe smashes the smoke detector with her shoe] Okay. Well done, Pheebs. [beeping] What do you want from me?!
Quote from Phoebe
Fireman: Please reattach this. It's against the law to disconnect them.
Phoebe: Fine. But please, God, tell me how to stop it from going off?
Fireman: Just press the reset button under the plastic cover.
Phoebe: There's a reset button? Oh, thank you. Thank you. [fireman leaves] Oh. There's a reset button? My God. Why didn't I see that? Reset button. Reset button. Where is there a reset button? Oh, here it is! Oh! [Phoebe finds the button on the floor, attempts to press it] God!
Quote from Ross
Ross: Now, should I climb down your front so we're face to face or should I climb down your back so we're butt to face?
Joey: Face to face.
Ross: I like face to face. Okay, here I come.
Joey: All right. Oh, my- How much do you weigh, Ross?
Ross: I'd prefer not to answer that right now. I'm still carrying a little holiday weight.
Quote from Ross
Joey: All right, well, I guess we know what we have to do to get down.
Ross: Yeah, I guess we don't have a choice. [shouting] Help us! Please, help us! We're stuck up on the roof, and we can't get down!
Joey: Ross. I was thinking we'd just go down the fire escape.
Ross: I know. I wasn't finished. [shouting] But don't worry! We're gonna go down the fire escape!
Quote from Phoebe
Phoebe: There it is. Oh, look at that! Isn't Mother Nature amazing?
Chandler: That's a plane.
Phoebe: Well, all right, 1700 bags of peanuts flying that high that's pretty amazing too.
