‘The One with Mrs. Bing’

Season 1, Episode 11 - Aired January 5, 1995

Chandler is uncomfortable when his mother, who writes trashy romance novels, comes to town. Meanwhile, Ross is down about Rachel's burgeoning romance with Paulo, and Monica and Phoebe compete to care for a guy who ended up in a coma as a result of their wolf whistle.

Quote from Ross

Ross: Chandler, can I just say something? I know you're still mad at me. I just wanna say there were two people there that night. There were two sets of Iips.
Chandler: Yes, well, I expect this from her. She's always been a Freudian nightmare.
Ross: Okay, but if she always behaves like this, why don't you say something then?
Chandler: Because it's complicated. It's complex. Hey, you kissed my mom.
Ross: [to the bystanders] We're rehearsing a Greek play.

Quote from Joey

Joey: I don't hear anything. Wait.
Ross: What do you see?
Joey: It's hard to tell. They're tiny and upside down. Wait, wait, wait. They're walking away. They're walking away. No, they're not. They're coming right at us. Run, run!

Quote from Ross

Chandler: So I told her.
Ross: How did it go?
Chandler: Awful. Awful. Couldn't have gone worse.
Ross: Well, how do you feel?
Chandler: Pretty good. I told her.
Ross: Well, see? So maybe it wasn't such a bad idea, you know, me kissing your mom, huh? But we don't have to go down that road.

Quote from Chandler

Nora Bing: [on TV]I'm leaving for New York tomorrow, which I hate. But I get to see my son, who I love.
Chandler: This is the way that I find out. Most moms use the phone.

Quote from Chandler

Nora Bing: Anything you want from Lisbon?
Chandler: No, no. Just knowing you're there is enough.

Quote from Monica

Monica: Phoebe, don't Iook now. But behind you there's a guy who has the potential to break our hearts and plunge us into depression.

Quote from Monica

Monica: Why did I whoo-hoo? I mean, what was I hoping would happen? That he'd turn around and say "Ooh, I Iove that sound. I must have you now"?

Quote from Chandler

Chandler: You know, we don't have to watch this. Weekend at Bernie's is on Showtime, HBO and Cinemax.

Quote from Chandler

Rachel: I gotta tell you, I Iove your mom's books. I can't get on a plane without one. This is so cool.
Chandler: Yeah, well, you wouldn't think it's so cool if you were 1 1-years-old and all your friends were passing around page 79 of "Mistress Bitch".

Quote from Chandler

Chandler: Hey.
Ross: You mean that?
Chandler: Yeah, why not? [Chandler and Ross shake hands]
