Quote from Phoebe
Joey: You guys don't think I look 19?
Phoebe: Oh, 19! We thought you said 90.

Joey: Oh, hey, is the rest of my candy bar around here?
Phoebe: No, honey, you ate it all.
Joey: Aww, I was afraid of that.

Quote from Chandler
Monica: Chandler, it happens to lots of guys. You know, you are probably tired, you had a lot of champagne. Don't worry about it.
Chandler: I'm not worried. I'm fascinated. You know? It's like biology. Which is funny, because in high school I failed biology ... and tonight biology failed me.
Quote from Phoebe
Phoebe: Check it out. I could play this while the guests are coming in, okay.

Quote from Monica
Monica: Can I ask you just a little question? Why tonight?
Rachel: What?
Monica: See, I've been waiting my whole life to be engaged and unlike some people, I am only planning on doing this once.
Quote from Monica
Monica: It maybe selfish, and I'm sorry about that, but I was kind of hoping tonight could just be about that.

Monica: Thunder being stolen.
Quote from Joey
Ross: Let's not make a big deal of this. It was a one-time thing. It doesn't even matter.
Joey: Oh, my God. I cannot believe you guys are talking about this. The problems in the bedroom are between a man and woman. All right? Now, Chandler is doing the best he can.
Chandler: I don't think that's what they were talking about, Joe.

Joey: Now, I can pass for 19, right?
Chandler: Yes, you can pass for 19.

Rachel: Joey, you are not. You're 31.
Joey: Oh, crap!
