Ross: Go away. I don't wanna see anybody.

Monica: And she always bragging about all the famous people she's met.
Phoebe: Oh, I know! "I slept with Billy Joel." All right, who hasn't?

Tanning Salon Guy: All right, Mr. Geller, right this way. So how dark do you wanna be? We have one, two or three.

Chandler: [to Amanda] I get pedicures.

Quote from Joey

Joey: I'm sorry. This has never happened to me before. I'm an expert at taking off bras. I could do it with one hand. I could do it with my eyes closed. Once I just looked at one and it popped open.

Quote from Joey

Chandler: So you and Rachel tonight, huh?
Joey: Yeah. Yeah, it's actually our first official date.

Joey: It's okay.

Quote from Ross

Ross: Well, how bad is it?
Tanning Salon Guy: Not that bad yet. But it keeps getting darker for the next four hours.
Ross: So how dark is it going to get?
Tanning Salon Guy: You got sprayed with two twos and-
Ross: I'm a four?
Tanning Salon Guy: Yeah, but your back's a zero. You're gonna wanna even that out.
Ross: Really?!
Tanning Salon Guy: You might wanna get back in there.
Ross: Oh, okay!
