‘The One Where Underdog Gets Away’

Season 1, Episode 9 -  Aired November 17, 1994

Monica's nerves are tested when her plans for a quiet Thanksgiving dinner are expanded to include Phoebe, Joey and Rachel. Meanwhile, Joey is proud to be the face of a new health advertising campaign, until he discovers the embrassing condition he's highlighting. When Ross learns Susan is talking to his unborn child, he is determined to do the same despite thinking the idea is stupid.

Quote from Ross

Ross: Is Carol here?
Susan: No, she's at a faculty meeting.
Ross: I just came by to pick up my skull. Well, not mine, but...
Susan: Come in.
Ross: Thanks. Well, Carol borrowed it for a class, and I have to get it back to the museum.
Susan: What's it look like?
Ross: Kind of like a big face without skin.
Susan: Yes, I'm familiar with the concept.

Ross: Hey, Yertle the Turtle! A classic.
Susan: Actually, I'm reading it to the baby.
Ross: The baby that hasn't been born yet? Wouldn't that mean you're crazy?

Quote from Rachel

Monica: Hey, Rach, did you make your money?
Rachel: No, not even close. Forget Vail. Forget seeing my family. Forget shoop, shoop, shoop.

Quote from Monica

Rachel: Oh, my God! You guys are great!
Monica: We all chipped in.
Ross: We did?
Monica: You owe me $20.

Quote from Monica

Monica: Chandler, here you go, we got your traditional holiday feast. We got your Tomato soup, your grilled-cheese fixings and your family-size bag of Funyuns.

Quote from Ross

Monica: What?
Ross: I don't know. It's just not the same without Mom in the kitchen.
Monica: Ugh. All right, that's it. Just get out of my way and stop annoying me.
Ross: Oh, that's closer.

Quote from Chandler

Rachel: I got the tickets. I got the tickets. Five hours from now, shoop, shoop, shoop!
Chandler: Oh, you must stop shooping.

Quote from Chandler

Joey: Chandler, will you you just come in already?
Chandler: Oh, no thank you, I prefer to keep a safe distance from all this merriment.

Quote from Chandler

Phoebe: Oh, look out! Incoming pumpkin pie!
Chandler: You know we all laughed when you did it with the stuffing, but that's not funny any more.

Quote from Monica

Monica: All right. Fine. Tonight's potatoes will be both mashed, with lumps, and in the form of tots.
