Quote from Joey

Joey: Well, how long will you be gone?
Cecilia Monroe: Eight months.
Joey: Wow. That's a really long time.
Cecilia Monroe: Yeah, but you could come and visit me. I bet you could own a few places down there.
Joey: Oh, I tell you, I should probably buy a place in the city first. And I just got what you meant. That is- I'll tell you, that's a tricky one.
Cecilia Monroe: It's a tricky one.

Quote from Joey

Cecilia Monroe: So when Jessica kisses a man she usually puts both her hands on the man's face.
Joey: Yeah, I notice that. Is that because she's so passionate?
Cecilia Monroe: No, it's because that way the camera only sees her.

Quote from Ross

Monica: Thanks for coming by, guys. We just wanted to bounce some ideas off of you about the wedding ceremony.
[Rachel sobs]
Ross: What's the matter? Are you okay?
Rachel: It's just, you know-
Chandler: Monica said "wedding."
Monica: So we wanted to know if one of you would like to read something at the ceremony.
Ross: Okay, yeah, I guess I can do that too.
Chandler: Too?
Ross: Yeah, I kind of have something else planned for you guys.
Monica: Do you mind telling us what it is?
Ross: Sorry. I'm kind of keeping this one on the QT.
Chandler: Well, whatever it is, I hope it involves winking.

Quote from Ross

Rachel: Wait. What do you mean you're getting a new brain?
Joey: Well, they're killing off one of the characters on the show and when she dies, her brain is being transplanted into my body.
Ross: What? A brain transplant? It's ridiculous.
Joey: Oh, I think it's ridiculous that you haven't had sex in three and a half months.
Ross: It's winter. There are fewer people on the street.

Quote from Rachel

Phoebe: Rach, so that guy there: Straight or gay?
Rachel: Oh, yeah, he's too cute to be straight.
Phoebe: Ooh, knockers will help us figure it out.
Rachel: All right, straight. And not subtle.

Quote from Phoebe

Phoebe: Oh, he left his cell phone.
Rachel: We could hand it to Gunther and help put it in lost and found.
Phoebe: Or we could use it to call China, see how those guys are doing.

Quote from Rachel

Rachel: I bet that's him. My digital fairy tale's about to begin.

Quote from Phoebe

Rachel: You do know that I will be here when he comes over.
Phoebe: Oh. And how will you know what time to come over?
Rachel: You just said it.
Phoebe: Oh.

Quote from Joey

Cecilia Monroe: The essence of the character is rooted in her confidence. So when Jessica enters a room, for instance she owns everything and every person in that room. You try it.
Joey: Okay.
Cecilia Monroe: Right. Well, he's not mad at the room. Try it again. He owns it.
He owns the room. It is his. He owns, owns, owns the room! He owns it! All right. It's a little weird, but it's getting better.

Quote from Joey

Joey: Maybe this is a good thing. It'll give you a chance to shake things up. Play different characters. You're so talented.
Cecilia Monroe: Probably should've just left years ago when the offers were pouring in but I just got so comfy here and- I turned down some amazing work.
Joey: Like what?
Cecilia Monroe: Well, let's just say if I'd left 15 years ago the landscape of Mexican cinema would be very different today.
Joey: Wow.
