Quote from Phoebe
Phoebe: [playing her guitar, singing] New York City has no power, And the milk is getting sour, But to me it is not scary, 'cause I stay away from dairy. [writes the song down]
Quote from Chandler
Chandler: You know, on second thought, gum would be perfection. [inner monologue] Gum would be perfection? Gum would be perfection. Could've said, "Gum would be nice." Could've said, "I'll have a stick." But, no, no, no, no, no. For me, gum is perfection. I loathe myself!
Quote from Chandler
Chandler: [inner monologue] All right. Okay. What next? Blow a bubble. A bubble's good. It's got a boyish charm. It's impish. Here we go. [gum flies out of Chandler's mouth and lands on the counter] Nice going, imp! Okay, okay. It's okay. All I need to do is reach over and put it back in my mouth. Good save! We 're back on track and ... I'm chewing someone else's gum.
This is not my gum! Oh, my God! Oh, my God! And now you're choking. [choking]
Jill Goodacre: Are you all right? Oh my God! You're choking! [she Heimlichs Chandler] Better?
Chandler: Yes. Thank you. That was ... That was ...
Jill Goodacre: Perfection?
Quote from Chandler
Monica: [answering the phone] Hello?
Chandler: Hey, it's me.
Monica: It's Chandler. Are you okay?
Chandler: Yeah, l'm fine. [mumbling] I'm trapped in an ATM vestibule with Jill Goodacre.
Monica: What?
Chandler: [mumbling] I'm trapped in an ATM vestibule with Jill Goodacre.
Monica: I have no idea what you said.
Chandler: Put Joey on the phone.
Joey: What's up, man?
Chandler: [mumbling] l'm trapped in an ATM vestibule with Jill Goodacre!
Joey: Oh, my God! He's trapped in an ATM vestibule with Jill Goodacre!
Quote from Joey
Joey: Chandler, listen. [mumbles indistinctly]
Chandler: Yeah, like that thought never entered my mind.
Quote from Chandler
Jill Goodacre: I'm fine. I'm just stuck at the bank in an ATM vestibule.
Chandler: [inner monologue] Jill says vestibule, I'm going with vestibule.
Jill Goodacre: I'm fine. No, l'm not alone. I don't know, some guy.
Chandler: [inner monologue] Oh, some guy. I am some guy. Hey, Jill, I saw you with some guy last night. Yes, he was some guy.
Quote from Chandler
Chandler: [inner monologue] All right, all right! It's been 14 1/2 minutes and you still haven't said one word. God! Do something! Just make contact. Smile! There you go. You're definitely scaring her.
Quote from Ross
Ross: So you do know a little English?
Paulo: Little.
Ross: Do you know the word "crap-weasel"?
Paulo: No.
Ross: That's funny. Because you are a huge crap-weasel.
Quote from Chandler
Chandler: [inner monologue] Oh, my God! It's her. It's that Victoria 's Secret model. Something Goodacre.
Jill Goodacre: Hi, Mom, it's Jill.
Chandler: [inner monologue] She's right. It's Jill. Jill Goodacre. Oh, my God! I am trapped in an A TM vestibule with Jill Goodacre. Is it a vestibule? Maybe it's an atrium. Oh yeah, that is the part to focus on, you idiot.
Quote from Ross
Rachel: Uh, Ross?
Ross: Disneyland, 1989. "It's a small world after all."
Joey: No way.
Ross: Yeah, the ride broke down so Carol and I went behind a couple of those mechanical Dutch children. And they fixed the ride and we were asked never to return to the Magic Kingdom.
