Quote from Phoebe

Interviewee: So it looks like you've got great experience here. Let's see. Reason for leaving last job?
Phoebe: Yeah, they thought I was a whore.
Interviewee: Okay. We'll give you a call if anything comes up.
Phoebe: Great. Thank you very much.

Quote from Rachel

Rachel: Hey, Mr. Treeger.
Mr. Treeger: What are you doing?
Rachel: I'm sorry. It's a little old but ... [opens the pizza box she was throwing away]
Mr. Treeger: You're clogging up the chute I just spent a half-hour unclogging.
Rachel: I'm sorry. I don't come in here a lot.
Mr. Treeger: Of course you don't because you're a little princess. Daddy, buy me a pizza. Daddy, buy me a candy factory. Daddy, make the cast of Cats sing "Happy Birthday" to me. You think you can just come here make a mess and a big man in coveralls will come and clean it up? Well, why don't you think of someone else for a change?
Rachel: [sobbing] Okay, I'm sorry.
[Rachel returns to the apartment with the pizza box]
Monica: God, if you're going to cry about it!

Quote from Joey

Mr. Treeger: Tribbiani. Hold on. I'll get the plunger.

Quote from Chandler

Mr. Treeger: Hey, Duck. Is Chick here?
Chandler: Yeah, Bunny Rabbit.

Quote from Joey

Joey: Please don't kick the girls out. This was my fault.
Mr. Treeger: You want me to kick you guys out instead?
Joey: No, you can't do that. Where would the chick and the duck live?
Mr. Treeger: You have pets?
Joey: No. Those are nicknames. I'm the "chick," and Chandler's the "duck."
Mr. Treeger: Huh. I would've thought it was the other way around.

Quote from Rachel

Monica: Rachel, you just put an empty carton back in the fridge.
Rachel: Yeah, I know, but the garbage was full.
Monica: Have you ever taken out the trash?
Rachel: Well, I thought you liked doing it.

Quote from Rachel

Joey: Whoa. Whoa. Treeger made you cry?
Rachel: Yeah. He said really mean things that were only partly true.

Quote from Chandler

Chandler: I want to quit the gym.
Staff Member: You want to quit?
Chandler: I want to quit the gym.
Staff Member: You do realize you won't have access to our full-circle new Swedish spa?
Chandler: I want to quit the gym.

Quote from Chandler

Chandler: We're doomed. They'll take $50 a month from our accounts for the rest of our lives. What are we gonna do?
Monica: Well, you could actually go to the gym.
[Ross and Chandler laugh]
Ross: Or we could go to the bank close our accounts and cut them off at the source.
Chandler: You're a genius.
Joey: Oh, man. But then, we won't be bank buddies.
Chandler: Now there's two reasons.
