Quote from Monica

Monica: You know what, maybe I don't need to have children. You know, maybe I just think I do because that is what society - and by that I mean my mom - has always convinced me that I- [Monica looks at little girls dancing] I do, I have to have children. I'm sorry, I just do.

Quote from Ross

Ross: Uh, I would like to, uh, to add something to that-
Rachel: What? Why are you adding, why are you adding, why are you adding, why are you adding?
Ross: Most of you don't know me, I'm Rachel's boyfriend.
Rachel: Oh dear God.
Ross: Ross. Uh, I'd just like to say that it did take a lot of courage for Rachel to come here tonight. And, uh, just for the record she did not run out on Barry because she had syphilis. [band: rimshot] What are you doing? I'm serious. Uh, the reason she walked out on, on Barry is simply that she didn't love him, which incidentally worked out pretty well for me. [Ross looks expectantly at the band, no rimshot] Cheers.

Quote from Rachel

Rachel: Ya, know what Barr, I'm not gonna leave. I probably should, but I'm not. See, 'cause I promised myself that I would make it through at least *one* of your weddings. [rimshot]

Quote from Monica

Richard: Okay, I'll do it.
Monica: You'll do what?
Richard: If kids is what I takes to be with you then kids it is.
Monica: Oh, my God.
Richard: If I have to I'll, I'll do all again. I'll do the 4 o'clock feeding thing, I'll go to the P.T.A. meetings. I'll coach the soccer team.
Monica: Really?
Richard: Yeah, if I have to. Monica, I don't wanna lose you, so if I have to do it all over again, then I will.
Monica: You're the most wonderful man. And if you hadn't of said "if I have to" like seventeen times, then I'd be saying "Okay, let's do it."
Richard: But you're not.
Monica: Oh my God, I can't believe what I'm getting ready to say. I wanna have a baby, but I don't wanna have one with someone who doesn't really wanna have one.
Richard: God. I love you.
Monica: I know you do. Me too. So what now?
Richard: I guess we just keep dancing.

Quote from Ross

Chandler: Where is she, Where is she? Oh, hey, I have a question, where is she?
Rachel: Chandler, relax. Chandler, she'll be here.
Chandler: [attractive woman enters Central Perk] Ooh, oh, oh, that's her.
Ross: Yeah, 'cause life's just that kind.

Quote from Phoebe

Phoebe: Chandler, you gotta stop staring at the door. It's like a watched pot, you know if you keep looking at it then the door is to, never gonna boil.

Quote from Joey

Ross: All right I've been feeling incredibly guilty about this, because I wanna be a good friend, and dammit I am a good friend. So just, just shut up and close your eyes.
[Ross kisses Joey]
Joey: Wow, you are a good friend. Of course the audition was this morning, and I didn't get it. But that was a hell of a kiss. Rachel is a very lucky girl.
