Quote from Joey

Rachel: Just work the bra, Joe.
Joey: Okay, got it, yeah. Absolutely. Okay.
Rachel: Okay.
Joey: Is this thing welded shut?
Rachel: Okay.
Joey: All right, turn around. I gotta get a look at this thing.
Rachel: Ow!
Joey: Sorry.

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

Rachel: Okay, look, I'm really sorry about that, Joey. But do you think maybe, on some level, you don't want to take off my bra?
Joey: ... No, I don't have another level.

Quote from Rachel

Rachel: What is up with Miss Hawaiian Tropic?

Quote from Chandler

Monica: How was your date with Joey?
Rachel: Well, it was good, until we got back to our apartment. And then we were fooling around and he started to put his hand up my leg and I kept slapping it away.
Chandler: You didn't like that?

Quote from Monica

Rachel: Well, it wasn't just me, all right? He freaked out too. He couldn't even undo my bra.
Monica: Really? One time he just looked at my bra and it popped open.

Quote from Phoebe

Monica: I'm sorry for screwing up that "cutting her out" plan, but I have a new plan. Chandler will call in a few minutes with an emergency.
Phoebe: Oh. Okay, well, what kind of emergency gets us both out of here?
Monica: Well, what do you think of Mike and Chandler being in a car accident?
Phoebe: Are you kidding? I love it!

Quote from Monica

Monica: Hello? Chandler, what's wrong? Oh, my God, are you all right? Yeah, I'll be right there.
I'm so sorry, but Chandler was in a car accident.
Amanda: Oh.
Phoebe: Oh, my God.
Monica: Yeah.
Phoebe: Was Mike with him?
Monica: Nope.

Quote from Monica

Monica: I can't believe you tried to cut me out. Why, Phoebe? Why?
Phoebe: It was right after we were living together and you were driving me crazy, okay? You were really controlling and compulsive and shrill.
Monica: Well, I'm still all those things.
Phoebe: You're also so generous and kind and scrappy.
Monica: I am scrappy.
Phoebe: Exactly. Look, no matter what I tried to do, I couldn't keep you out of my life. Of all the people I've cut out you were the only one who ever clawed her way back in.
Monica: That's because I'm scrappy.
