‘The One with Joey's Big Break’

Season 5, Episode 22 - Aired May 13, 1999

After Joey lands a role in a movie he believes will be his big break, he invites Chandler to join him as he drives cross-country to Las Vegas in Phoebe's cab. Meanwhile, Rachel refuses to seek medical attention for a problem with her eye, and Phoebe is mad at Ross but can't remember why.

Quote from Phoebe

Chandler: Joey kicked me out of the car on the George Washington bridge.
Phoebe: Why?
Chandler: I don't know. He went crazy. We were playing that game where you ask a question and then you have to answer it really fast.
Phoebe: Oh, that game should not be played without my supervision.

Quote from Chandler

Chandler: Well, I don't know what made him so mad. You know, all I said was that I didn't think this was going to be his big break, that this movie wasn't going to do anything for him, and that, you know, it didn't sound like a real movie. Okay, he should've pushed me off the bridge.

Quote from Joey

Monica: Chandler told me what happened. He's really upset.
Joey: Not as upset as he's going to be when he finds out what I did with his sweater vests.
Monica: What did you do to his sweater vests?
Joey: Let's just say there's a well-dressed pack of dogs in Ohio.

Quote from Phoebe

Joey: Hey, Pheebs. Listen, this wooden box keeps sliding out from under the seat. What is it?
Phoebe: Oh, that's my grandma. And thanks, Joey. She's having a really great time.

Quote from Phoebe

Ross: Okay, Pheebs, I know how we're gonna figure this out. Clear your mind and answer the first thing that comes into your head. What do you like better, flora or fauna?
Phoebe: Fauna.
Ross: Who would you rather be, Simon or Garfunkel?
Phoebe: Garfunkel.
Ross: Why are you mad at me?
Phoebe: You said I was boring. Oh.
Ross: When did I say you were boring.
Phoebe: Oh, my God. I remember now. We were playing chess.
Ross: Phoebe, you and l have never played chess.
Phoebe: Oh, come on. Yes. Remember that time on the frozen lake? We were playing chess. You said I was boring. And then you took off your energy mask and you were Cameron Diaz. Okay, there's a chance this may have been a dream.

Quote from Rachel

Rachel: You know, I gotta tell you, those eye drops are a miracle. My eye is 100 percent better.
Monica: They're still in my coat.
Rachel: Damn.

Quote from Rachel

Dr. Miller: You got a small, minor infection in that left eye. I want you to take these drops, three times a day for a week and you'll be as good as new.
Rachel: Yeah, no. No, I don't put things in my eye.
Dr. Miller: Okay, then. I guess we'll see you back here in three months.
Rachel: Great.
Dr. Miller: And I'll fit you for a glass eye.
Rachel: Okay, just give me the damn drops.

Quote from Chandler

Monica: You should go see my eye doctor.
Rachel: Richard? I'm not gonna see your ex-boyfriend.
Chandler: Oh, Richard. That's all I ever hear. Richard, Richard, Richard.
Monica: Since we've been going out, I think I've mentioned his name twice.
Chandler: Okay. So Richard, Richard.

Quote from Phoebe

Ross: I gotta go. I'm taking Ben to the park.
Phoebe: Oh, give him a kiss for me.
Ross: All right. Bye.
Phoebe: Bye.
Ross: Later.
Phoebe: I am so sorry you got caught in the middle of that. I didn't mean to be so out there, but I am furious with him.
Chandler: Wow. Calm down?
Phoebe: I'm trying, but, man, that guy can push my buttons.

Quote from Joey

Joey: The best part is, we're filming in the desert outside of Vegas. You know what that means, buddy.
Chandler: Yeah, I know what that means buddy.
Joey: Road trip! Yeah, we can rent a car. I just have to be there by Tuesday.
Phoebe: Ooh, wait. My grandmother's dead.
Chandler: Well, we can talk about that too, Pheebs.
