Quote from Chandler

Chandler: What the hell happened to you in China? When last we left you, you were in love with, you know.

Chandler: God?
Ross: It was you, pal.
Chandler: Well, maybe it was God doing me.
Ross: You were right. She looks at me and sees a friend. That's all. And then I met Julie and, I don't know, we're having a great time. And I have to say I never would have gone for it, if it hadn't been for you.
Chandler: Well, you owe me one, big guy.

Rachel: So what did you find out?
Chandler: He said- He said- He said they're having a great time. I'm sorry. But the silver lining, if you wanna see it, is that he made this decision all by himself without any outside help whatsoever.

Chandler: Oh, come on. He said he was gonna do my inseam. Then he ran his hand up my leg and then there was definite-
Ross: What?

Joey: That's how they do pants! First they go up one side, they move it over. Then they go up the other side, move it back, and then they do the rear.

Ross: Yes, yes, it is. In prison!

Quote from Rachel

Julie: I was thinking of doing it a little shorter, like Andie MacDowell's haircut.

Rachel: How is she?
Phoebe: It's too soon to tell. She's resting, which is a good sign.
Ross: How's the hair?

Joey: Well, can we see her?
Phoebe: Your hair looks too good. I think it upset her. Ross, why don't you come on in?
