Quote from Joey

Ross: All right, seriously, what do you think?
Rachel: You look like a freak.
Joey: Seriously awful. Awful.

Quote from Phoebe

Phoebe: Fine. You learn from your "qualified instructor." But don't come crying to me when everyone is sick of hearing you play "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown".

Quote from Monica

[Rachel picks up the phone, unaware Monica is on the line]
Monica: I can't wait to be with you. I'll sneak over as soon as Ross picks up Ben. I'll just tell Rachel I'm going to be doing laundry for a couple of hours.
Chandler: Laundry. Heh. Is that my new nickname?
Monica: Aww. You know what your nickname is, Mr. Big-
Rachel: Argh!

Quote from Joey

Rachel: Oh, Joey, I have such a problem.
Joey: Well, your timing couldn't be better. I am putting out fires all over the place today.

Quote from Ross

Ross: This year was supposed to be great. Well, it's only the second day and I'm a loser with stupid leather pants that don't even fit.
Rachel: No, you're not a loser.
Ross: Look at me!

Quote from Phoebe

Phoebe: I'm off too. I'm going to go to the airport. I figure if I hang around there long enough someone's bound to leave one of those planes unattended.
Rachel: Good luck, honey.
Phoebe: Bye.

Quote from Joey

Rachel: Joey, remember that big thing I was gonna tell you about? [Joey covers his ears] I'm not going to tell you. But if you found out on your own that would be okay and we could talk about it, right?
Joey: Well, then it wouldn't be a secret. So, yeah, that would be okay. Yeah.
Rachel: Hey, Joe, would you mind going over into Chandler's bedroom and getting that book back that he borrowed from me?
Joey: Now? You want me to go over there now? Do you know something?
Rachel: Do you know something?
Joey: I might know something.
Rachel: I might know something too.
Joey: What's the thing you know?
Rachel: Oh, no. I can't tell you unless you tell me what I know.
Joey: Well, I can't tell you what I know.
Rachel: Then I can't tell you what I know.
Joey: Okay, fine. [Joey and Rachel look at each other] You don't know.
Rachel: All right. How about I go over there and I will walk into Chandler's bedroom and I will see the thing that I think I know is actually the thing I think I know!
Joey: [gasps] You know!
Rachel: And you know!
Joey: Yeah, I know!
Rachel: Chandler and Monica? Oh, this is unbelievable! How long have you known?
Joey: Too long. Oh, Rach, I've been dying to talk to someone about this for so long. But, listen, you can't say anything to anybody. They're so weird about that.

Quote from Phoebe

Phoebe: It's raining. I don't like to fly in the rain, so...
Joey: Oh, I am gonna go for a walk in the rain.
Rachel: Oh, yeah, me too.
Phoebe: That's weird. I bet they're doing it.

Quote from Chandler

Chandler: "Elizabeth Hornswoggle"?
Ross: That's right. Elizabeth Hornswoggle.
Chandler: Horn - Swoggle.
Joey: You okay, Chandler? Something funny about that name?
Chandler: No. No, I just think I've heard it somewhere before.
Joey: Oh, really? Where? Somewhere funny, I'll bet.
Ross: Hey, Pheebs. Oh, guess what. I have a date with Elizabeth Hornswoggle.
Phoebe: Hornswoggle? Oh, this must be killing you!
