Quote from Ross

[Ross and Rachel walk in on Phoebe and Ryan rubbing up against each other to try scratch their chicken pox]
Rachel: Stop that right now.

Quote from Joey

Chandler: Hey, Mr. Douglas.
Mr. Douglas: Bing, I got your memo. We're not gonna see the report until next Friday?
Chandler: Well, my group wants to spend the holiday with family.
Mr. Douglas: I have a family. I'm gonna be here.
Joey: Yeah, Bing. What's that about?

Quote from Phoebe

Phoebe: Okay. This is the most romantic disease I've ever had.

Quote from Joey

Joey: Hey. Mr. Douglas is looking for you.
Chandler: Why? Why is Mr. Douglas looking for me?
Joey: Because he has a strong suspicion that you dropped the ball on the Lender project.
Chandler: Why? Why? Why does he suspect that?
Joey: Because at first, he thought it was Joseph but after he asked Joseph about it, it turns out it was you. Anyway, I just thought you should know.

Quote from Phoebe

Phoebe: Hey, you guys, you will never guess who's coming to New York.
[Chandler gets ready to say something, but is eating his muffin]
Monica: Quick, Phoebe, tell us before he swallows.
Phoebe: Okay. Ryan, that guy I went out with who's in the Navy.

Quote from Phoebe

Rachel: You went out with a guy in the Navy?
Phoebe: I met him while playing guitar in the park. Ryan threw in saltwater taffy because he didn't have change.
Joey: Is that when you wrote "Saltwater Taffy Man"?
Phoebe: No.

Quote from Monica

Monica: Honey, you made the bed again. I told you, you don't have to do that. This isn't camp.
Richard: Oh. Then I guess the panty raid last night was totally uncalled for.

Quote from Monica

Richard: Okay, I'm going to be taking a shower. Today I'll be singing Jim Croce's "Leroy Brown."
[Monica starts remaking the bed. When Richard returns, she lays on top of it]
Richard: Hey, Mon, I have a question. Is Leroy the baddest man in the whole damn town or the fattest man?
Monica: The baddest. Otherwise, the song would be "Fat, Fat Leroy Brown."

Quote from Joey

Joey: Are all you processors dorks?

Quote from Rachel

Rachel: This lipstick looks just great on you.
Monica: You look fabulous. You really do.
Phoebe: Yeah, are you sure? Really?
Rachel: See, you look beautiful. [to Monica] For God's sake, dim the lights.
