Ross: Kiwi? Kiwi?! You said it was a key lime pie.
Monica: No, I didn't. I said kiwi lime. That's what makes it so special.
Ross: That's what's gonna kill me. I'm allergic to kiwi.
Monica: No, you're not. You're allergic to lobster and peanuts and- Oh, my God!
Ross: It's definitely getting worse.

Ross: Either that or my mouth is getting smaller!

Joey: What? I have seven Catholic sisters. I've taken care of hundreds of kids.

Quote from Joey

Ross: Well, if you do take him out for a walk, remember to bring his hat. There's extra milk in the refrigerator and extra diapers in the bag.

Rachel: What's up?
Terry: F.Y.I. I've decided to pay a professional musician to play here on Sundays afternoons. Her name is Stephanie something. She's supposed to be very good.
Rachel: But what about Phoebe?
Terry: Rachel, it's not that your friend is bad. It's that she's so bad she makes me want to put my finger through my eye into my brain and swirl it around.
Rachel: Okay, so you're not a fan.
