Quote from Ross
Joey: Okay. Fine. Make jokes, I don't care. This is a big break for me!
Ross: You're right, you're right. It is. So are you gonna invite us all to the big opening?
Quote from Chandler
Joey: Come on, you guys. This is a real movie, and Al Pacino's in it and that's big.
Chandler: Oh, no it's terrific. You deserve this. After all your years of struggling, you've finally been able to crack your way into show business.
Quote from Phoebe
Monica: You guys, I am not that bad!
Phoebe: Yeah, you are, Monica. Remember, I lived with you? You were a little. [mimics stabbing sound from "Psycho"]
Quote from Monica
Monica: Okay, so I'm responsible. I'm organized. But hey, I can be a kook!
Ross: All right, you madcap gal! Try to imagine this. The phone bill arrives, but you don't pay it right away.
Monica: Why not?
Ross: Because you're a kook! Instead, you wait until they send a notice.
Monica: I could do that.
Rachel: Okay. Okay, then you let me go grocery shopping and I buy laundry detergent, but it's not the one with the easy-pour spout.
Monica: Why would someone do that? One might wonder.
Chandler: Someone's left a glass on the coffee table. There's no coaster. It's a cold drink. It's a hot day. Little beads of condensation are inching closer and closer to the surface of the wood.
Monica: Stop it! Oh, my God! It's true. Who am l?
Ross: Monica, you're Mom.
Monica: Oh!
[Phoebe imitates the stabbing sound from "Psycho" again]
Quote from Phoebe
Joey: You know, I've done nothing but crappy plays for six years and I finally get my shot, and I blow it!
Monica: Wait a minute. Maybe this wasn't your shot.
Ross: Yeah, I think when it's your shot, you know it's your shot. Did it feel like your shot?
Joey: Hard to tell. I was naked.
Phoebe: No, I don't think this was your shot. I don't even think you just get one shot. I really believe big things are gonna happen for you. I do. And you've just gotta keep thinking about the day that some kid is going to run up to his friends and go: "l got the part! I got the part! I'm gonna be Joey Tribbiani's ass!"
Quote from Phoebe
Phoebe: The exclamation point scares me. It's not just Freud, it's Freud!
Quote from Chandler
Rachel: Oh, look, look, look. There's Joey's picture. This is so exciting!
Chandler: You can always spot someone who's never seen his one of his plays before. Notice, no fear. No sense of impending doom.
Quote from Phoebe
Chandler: The usher gave me this.
Joey: What is it? The Estelle Leonard Talent Agency. An agency left its card. They wanna sign me!
Phoebe: Based on this play? Based on this play!
Quote from Ross
Rachel: Look! I cleaned! I did the windows. I did the floors. I used all the vacuum attachments but the round one with the bristles. I don't know what that's for.
Ross: Oh, yeah, nobody knows, and we're not supposed to ask.
Quote from Ross
Monica: That is so unfair!
Ross: Oh, come on. When we were kids, yours was the only Raggedy Ann doll that wasn't raggedy.
