Quote from Judy Geller
Monica: Mother, all I am saying is just once can we go to lunch and not talk about what I'm wearing, or how I'm doing my hair, or where my career is going? [cutting Judy off] Or who I'm dating?
Waiter: Are we ready for the check yet? [Monica and Judy tussle over who's paying]
Monica: [handing the waiter her credit card] Here take it. Go. Run!
Judy Geller: Very sweet. And on what they pay you-
Monica: Career! You don’t have to worry about me, okay? I'm doing fine.
Waiter: [returning] I am afraid this has been denied.
Monica: But that’s impossible.
Judy Geller: That's all right dear. Here you go. [happily hands the waiter her card]
Quote from Monica
Monica: [on the phone] Hi, uh, yes, this is Monica Geller. Um, I believe I'm taking some classes with you and I was wondering what they were. I had a recent head injury and certain numbers and dates... Barbecue! Oh did I? See, there you go.
