Quote from Joey
Phoebe: Hey, how was your first day at the restaurant?
Joey: Damn it. [Joey runs out of Central Perk]
Quote from Phoebe
Phoebe: [playing guitar and singing] Happy Hannukah, Chandler and Monica, Merry, merry-
Chandler: You know what, Pheebs? I'm not Jewish.
Phoebe: So, Ross doesn't decorate his tree with floss but you don't hear him complaining, do you?
Quote from Ross
Chandler: Bad dream?
Ross: I wasn't sleeping.
Chandler: So what was Phoebe's song about?
Ross: It's the one with the cat.
Quote from Ross
Ross: What?
Woman: I bet myself that you had beautiful eyes. Now that I see them, I win. We're at my stop. Would you like to have coffee?
Ross: Are we really in Montreal?
Woman: Yes, we are. So coffee?
Ross: Coffee sounds great. Wait. So you live in Montreal?
Woman: No, but it's only a two-hour ferry ride to Nova Scotia.
Quote from Chandler
Rachel: Okay. No accountants. And no one from, like, "legal." I don't like boring jobs.
Chandler: And Ross was like what? A lion tamer?
Quote from Joey
Joey: What are you talking about? Lots of things rhyme with Rachel. Bagel, mail, jail, bail, cable. Maypole.
Phoebe: All good. Thanks.
Quote from Phoebe
Phoebe: Do you, maybe, have a nickname that's easier to rhyme?
Monica: Didn't your dad used to call you "Pumpkin"?
Phoebe: Pumpkin, yeah? But did he ever call you, like, "Budolph"?
Quote from Joey
Monica: What the hell just happened?
Joey: I am so sorry. I was going to do it. But I was standing there with $327 in one hand and $238 in the other. And I was thinking it's been a long time since I had $327 plus $238.
Quote from Chandler
Rachel: Did you or did you not tell him I was interested in a serious relationship?
Chandler: I did! I absolutely did.
Rachel: You idiot!
Chandler: I'm sure you're right. But why?
Rachel: You don't tell a guy that you're looking for a serious relationship. You don't tell the guy that. Now you scared him away.
Chandler: I am sorry. I am so, so sorry.
Rachel: You should never be allowed to talk to people.
Chandler: I know, I know!
Quote from Phoebe
Monica: Everybody at the restaurant still hates me. I thought was making headway. Everyone was smiling at me all day, and then I get off work and find out that they wrote this on my chef's hat.
Phoebe: Hey, maybe they meant to write "Quiet, Bitch."
