Quote from Chandler

Chandler: If she sees me locked to this she'll know you were here. You might as well let me go.
Rachel: What if I clean your bathroom for a month?
Chandler: Still won't be clean. All I want is my freedom.
Rachel: Foot rubs for a month.
Chandler: Freedom!
Rachel: I'll put all your photos into albums!
Chandler: Freedom. I want my freedom! Why won't you hear me?

Quote from Joey

Joey: Wow. There's a lot I didn't know about vomit.

Quote from Joey

Salesman: So what do you say, Joey? You can get the whole set of encyclopedias for $1200. That works out to just 50 bucks a book.
Joey: $1200? [chuckles] You think I have $1200? I'm home in the middle of the day and I got patio furniture in my living room. I guess there's a few things you don't get from book learning.

Quote from Joey

Salesman: You don't have anything?
Joey: You want to see what I got? I got a baby Tootsie Roll, a movie stub, keys, a Kleenex, a rock and an army man.
Salesman: Okay, I get the picture. Thanks for your time.
Joey: And a fifty. Huh. These must be Chandler's pants.
Salesman: For $50 you can get one book. What will it be? A? B? C?
Joey: I think I'm going to stick with the V. I want to see how this bad boy turns out.

Quote from Phoebe

Judy Geller: Yes, well, I was wrong. And I have to say you really impressed me today.
Monica: Wow.
Phoebe: You might even say that she "pulled a Monica." She doesn't know we switched it.

Quote from Chandler

Monica: [flirty] Hello, Chandler.
Chandler: [to Rachel] I love you.
Joey: What's going on?
[Ross and Phoebe whisper in Joey's ears]
Joey: No, he doesn't!
Chandler: Two hours, that lasted.

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

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 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.
