Quote from Joey
Rachel: Last time I almost got fired. You must end it. You must end it now.
Chandler: Come on, it's not an everyday occurrence for me. I mean, usually I'm just in there by myself.
Joey: [mimics the sound of a squeaking bed]
Quote from Chandler
Chandler: I hope you know what I'm giving up here. She's not just the boss in your office, if you know what I mean.
Joey: Yeah. Sorry, I knew what he meant.
Quote from Judy Geller
Judy Geller: How's the hired help?
Monica: Doing great. Quiches are coming along.
Judy Geller: What's this? Blue nail polish?
Monica: I thought it was cute.
Judy Geller: Huh. It's what your grandmother's hands looked like when we found her.
Quote from Judy Geller
Monica: Let me ask you a question. Why did you hire me?
Judy Geller: Well, Richard raved about the food at his party. Of course, you were sleeping with him. Then I heard the food at that lesbian wedding was nice. I assume you didn't sleep with anyone there. Although at least that would be something.
Quote from Monica
Monica: Oh, my God. Did you hear that? She hired me because she thinks I'm good.
Phoebe: Okay, I didn't hear that.
Monica: She didn't hire me out of pity. It wasn't so she could pick on me in front of my friends. She actually thinks I'm good.
Phoebe: Wow. And hey, it's cool if you're a lesbian.
Quote from Phoebe
Monica: Oh, my God. Wait a minute. I had them when I put- Oh, my God. It's in the quiche. Oh, my God.
Phoebe: Okay, don't panic. I'm going to go the store, I'll get another set of nails. No one is going to know, and you'll look great. Oh, it's because they're going to eat- That's the problem.
Quote from Phoebe
Monica: Okay, please don't freak out. There's a blue fingernail in one of the quiche cups. And there's no way to know which one.
Phoebe: And whoever finds it wins the prize.
Quote from Judy Geller
Judy Geller: I'm not freaking out.
Monica: Why are you laughing?
Judy Geller: It's nothing. It's just now your father owes me $5.
Monica: What, you bet I'd lose a nail?
Judy Geller: No, don't be silly. I just bet that I'd need these.
Monica: Frozen lasagnas? You bet that I'd screw up? So all that stuff about how I was good was-
Judy Geller: No, that was all true. This was just in case you "pulled a Monica."
Monica: You promised Dr. Weinberg you'd never use that phrase.
Quote from Chandler
Chandler: Okay, here's the situation. The keys to the cuffs are on the back of the door. Could you be a doll and grab them and scoot on over here and unlock me? And on a totally separate subject, that's a lovely pantsuit.
Quote from Chandler
Rachel: You know what, Chandler, you got yourself into those cuffs, you can get yourself out.
Chandler: No, no. I can't get myself right out of them. You must have me confused with the "Amazing Chandler"!
