Quote from Rachel

Rachel: Gavin, I just want to say thank you again for watching Emma yesterday during the presentation. I really owe you an apology.
Gavin: For what?
Rachel: Well, when we first met, you know, I thought you were pompous and arrogant and obnoxious.
Gavin: Is this your first apology?

Quote from Rachel

Rachel: I mean, I just think you are totally inappropriate. Okay? This is a work environment. She's your subordinate.
Gavin: But it was okay when you slept with your old assistant, Tag?
Rachel: That is totally different for two reasons. One: I didn't know that you knew that. And two: I wasn't some creep staring at his ass.

Quote from Ross

Ross: Can you keep an eye on Joey make sure nothing happens between him and Molly?
Chandler: You don't trust him?
Ross: Well, no. Some woman who sounded a lot like Joey called earlier and asked for her daughter, the "hot nanny."

Quote from Rachel

Rachel: Excuse me, Gavin. I have a question I need to ask you.
Gavin: Mom, I'll call you later. Yes?
Rachel: If you like looking at butts so much why don't you just go look in a mirror?
Gavin: Thank God you finally said that. I saw you make a note on your pad three hours ago.

Quote from Monica

Quote from Rachel

Gavin: Fun party.
Rachel: Well, it was. And you would have seen it if you didn't show up at- Ugh, 9:30. God, this party was lame.
Monica: Again, you're welcome!

Quote from Monica
