Quote from Rachel

Rachel: Okay, fine, you can make fun of me. I do not want Emma going there. And I was thinking Claire Danes.

Quote from Phoebe

Monica: Oh, my God. The adoption lady is early.
Chandler: Okay. Okay. Here we go. Here we go. Stand up straight. Big smile.
Phoebe: Hello. Is this the Creepy residence?

Quote from Phoebe

Phoebe: Oh, this is so sweet of you. But I won't be needing a veil. I actually won't be wearing a dress at all.
Monica: I told you, I am not coming to a naked wedding!

Quote from Monica

Phoebe: All right, but who cares? I don't need a pretty veil and a fancy dress.
Monica: That's right. You're making a commitment. And you know, that's the same whether you do it at the Plaza or- Where you gonna do it?
Phoebe: City Hall.
Monica: Oh! Oh, that sounds nice. I was just there for jury duty. They've really spruced that place up.

Quote from Rachel

Rachel: Okay. Careful. Watch her hair. Watch her hair!
Ross: Rach, she's got, like, three hairs.
Rachel: I know. I know. But they're just so beautiful. Oh, my God, I just pulled one out.

Quote from Monica

Laura: Your place is just lovely.
Monica: Thank you. Yes, this building does have a wholesome, family feel to it.
Laura: You know, I feel like I've been here before. Are any other couples in the building adopting?
Monica: Is that that couple on the first floor? Because we should get a baby before them. Yeah, that guy tried to sell me drugs.
Chandler: But other than that, wholesome, wholesome building.

Quote from Chandler

Laura: Oh.
Chandler: What?
Laura: I just realized why I remember this place.
Monica: Really? What is it?
Laura: Oh, it's nothing. I went on a date with a guy who lived in this building. It didn't end very well.
Monica: That wouldn't, by any chance, be Joey Tribbiani?
Laura: Yes!
Chandler: Of course it was.
Laura: Yeah. We had a really great night. And in the morning, he promised he would call me and he didn't.
Chandler: Rat bastard!

Quote from Chandler

Laura: So you're not friends with him?
Monica: Oh, God, no.
Chandler: No, no, no.
Monica: No.
Laura: Well, I'm sorry I brought it up. So are either one of you planning on staying at home?
Joey: Hello? Anybody in there order a celebrity? Ow!
Laura: What was that?
Chandler: That's just some crazy guy who roams the halls here. He's great with kids, though.

Quote from Ross

Ross: Okay, it wasn't the swing's fault. It was my fault. And kind of that kid's fault. Who is still laughing. Nice.

Quote from Rachel

Ross: I have an idea. I want you to get on the swing and you'll see that there's nothing to be afraid of.
Rachel: I know what this is all about. You've always been jealous of my hair.
