‘The One with the Birth Mother’

Season 10, Episode 9 -  Aired January 8, 2004

Monica and Chandler go to Ohio to see a prospective birth mother. Meanwhile, Joey dates one of Phoebe's friends and is outraged when she takes food from his plate, and Ross turns to Rachel for fashion advice.

Quote from Joey

Ross: So, what do you think?
Joey: I think we're not wearing the same shirt anymore.
Ross: Yeah. Yeah, Rachel picked it out for me. She told me to trust her, and you know what? I'm glad I did. I turned quite a few heads on my way over here.
Joey: Dude, I really don't think you should be wearing that.
Ross: I see. Somebody's afraid of a little competition with the ladies?
Joey: Looks like someone is the ladies!

Quote from Ross

Ross: Now if you'll excuse me, I have a date. See? All eyes on me!

Quote from Monica

Chandler: So we'll tell the truth. And who knows, you know? Maybe she'll like us for us.
Monica: Maybe she will. Why couldn't I have been a reverend?
Chandler: You're Jewish.
Monica: Technicality!

Quote from Joey

Waiter: Garden salad for the lady.
Joey: Oh, that looks great. Good ordering.

Quote from Joey

Joey: I really am sorry about, you know, before. And I want to make sure you know I really do like you.
Sarah: Sure, just not as much as clams.
Joey: Well, stuffed clams-
Waiter: Chocolate torte for the lady. Cheesecake for the gentleman.
Joey: Excuse me, sir. There seems to be some sort of red crap on my cheesecake.
Waiter: Yes, that's a raspberry coulis.
Joey: I'm so stupid ordering cheesecake, trying to be healthy.

Quote from Monica

Monica: Is that a picture?
Erica: Yeah. It's a sonogram they took of the baby last week. I thought you might want to see it.
Monica: [to Chandler] Look, doctor.

Quote from Chandler

Chandler: Look, before we sign anything, we really have to talk. We're not who you think we are.
Adoption Agency Worker: I don't understand.
Chandler: The agency must have made a mistake. My wife is not a reverend, and I'm not a doctor.
Erica: What?
Adoption Agency Worker: That's impossible.
Chandler: I could perform an operation on you and prove it if you'd like.

Quote from Ross

Ross: Turns out this sweater is made for a woman.
Joey: So why are you still wearing it?
Ross: Because it's soft.

Quote from Joey

Phoebe: Fine, I'll give you her number.
Joey: Okay. Thank you. And I promise you I will not forget this one. Mandy.
Phoebe: Sarah!
Joey: Sarah.
