Quote from Phoebe
Phoebe: Can I borrow your phone? I wanna call my apartment and check on my grandma.
Wait, what's my number? Well, I never call me.
Quote from Joey
Joey: Hey, everyone.
Ross: And officiating at tonight's blackout is Rabbi Tribbiani.
Joey: Well, Chandler's old roommate was Jewish and these are our only candles we have. So happy Hanukkah, everyone!
Quote from Ross
Monica: Okay, okay, I'll go. Senior year of college, on a pool table.
Joey: Pool table?
Ross: That's my sister.
Quote from Joey
Monica: Rachel?
Rachel: Come on, I already went.
Monica: You did not go.
Rachel: I did.
Joey: Tell us.
Phoebe: Come on.
Rachel: All right, the weirdest place would have to be ... oh, the foot of the bed.
Ross: Step back!
Joey: We have a winner!
Quote from Ross
Rachel: I've just never had a relationship with that kind of passion. You know, where you have to have somebody right there in the middle of a theme park.
Ross: Well, it was the only thing to do there that didn't have a line.
Quote from Ross
Rachel: Well, Barry wouldn't even kiss me on a miniature golf course.
Ross: Come on.
Rachel: No. He said we held up the people behind us.
Ross: And you didn't marry him because?
Quote from Joey
Joey: It's never gonna happen.
Ross: What?
Joey: You and Rachel.
Ross: What? Me and Ra? What? Why not?
Joey: Because you waited too long to make your move and now you're in the "friend zone."
Ross: No, no, no. l'm not in the zone.
Joey: No, Ross. You're mayor of the zone.
Ross: Look, l'm taking my time, all right? I'm laying the groundwork. I mean, every day I get just a little bit closer to-
Joey: Priesthood!
Quote from Phoebe
Phoebe: This is so typical. I'm always the last one to know everything.
Monica: You are not. We tell you stuff.
Phoebe: Yeah, huh. I was the last one to know when Chandler got bit by the peacock at the zoo. I was the last to know you had a crush on Joey when he was moving in.
Joey: What?
Phoebe: Oh, looks like I was second to last.
Quote from Ross
Phoebe: Ooh, this poor little Tooty's scared to death. We should find his owner.
Ross: Why not put poor little Tooty out in the hall?
Rachel: During a blackout? She'll get trampled.
Ross: Yeah?
