Quote from Monica

Monica: Ow.
Chandler: What's the matter, honey?

Phoebe: Starts?

Quote from Phoebe

Chandler: What in God's name is that?
Ross: Oh, my God, the wedding book? I haven't seen that since 4th grade.
Monica: This baby has got everything. Take, you know, locations, for instance: First organized alphabetically, then geographically, then by square footage.
Phoebe: That is so smart. [to Chandler] Break it off. Ahem. Break it off, now.

Quote from Ross

Ross: And that should conclusively prove that I had the idea for Jurassic Park first.

Quote from Chandler

Monica: Okay, I haven't cleared the budget with my parents but tell me how this sounds for music. A string quartet for the processional, a jazz trio for cocktails, and the Bay City Rollers for dancing. Wait, that was for my 6th grade wedding.
Chandler: Well, you couldn't get them anyway. I mean, Ian doesn't play anymore, and Derek... Well, Derek is a name I shouldn't know.

Quote from Monica

Monica: Of course you can look at it. Yeah, I want your opinion too.
Chandler: Okay.
Monica: Here you go. What do you think about the centerpieces
Chandler: Centerpieces.
Monica: Yeah. Roses or lilies?
Chandler: Definitely roses. [Monica and Rachel look at each other] Well, I just think they're a little bit more "wedding-y." [Monica pushes the picture of the lilies towards Chandler] But lilies are the clear choice.
Monica: Oh, my God, it's like one mind.
Chandler: Uh-huh.

Quote from Phoebe

Ross: Uh, Phoebe?
Phoebe: Oh, Ross, hi.
Ross: Phoebe, what are you doing?
Phoebe: I'm sorry. I'm with a client right now.
Ross: Phoebe!
Phoebe: Okay, let's talk outside.
Ross: Phoebe, you can't massage people in my apartment.
Phoebe: What's the big deal? I did it at Monica and Chandler's.
Ross: And they knew about it?
Phoebe: Okay, look, Ross, what is this really about?

Quote from Joey

Rachel: Hey, Joey. What are you doing?
Joey: Sweeping. Why? Does it turn you on?
Rachel: No.
Joey: What if I was sweeping a chimney?
Rachel: Joey, did you eat my face cream?
Joey: Where are you going? The vicar won't be home for hours.
Rachel: Joey, where did you learn that word?
Joey: Where do you think, Zelda?
Rachel: You found my book?
Joey: Yeah, I did!

Quote from Judy Geller

Jack Geller: I remember when we first got engaged.
Chandler: Oh, I don't think I've ever heard that story.
Monica: Oh, Dad, you don't really-
Jack Geller: Well, I'd gotten Judy pregnant. I still don't know how that happened.
Judy Geller: You don't know how that happened? Your dog thought my diaphragm was a chew toy.

Quote from Jack Geller

Chandler: What a sweet story.
Monica: Well, at least you're not hearing it for the first time at your 5th grade Halloween party.
Jack Geller: What? They wanted a scary story.

Quote from Jack Geller

Monica: You still have the Monica wedding fund, don't you?
Jack Geller: We have it. Only now we call it "the beach house."
