Ross: Hey, you know what you should do. You should make something happen for yourself. You know, like write a play. Write a movie. I mean, what about those Good Will Hunting guys?
Joey: Come on, Ross. Be realistic. If I did write something what are the chances I could get those guys to star in it? Wait a second, I could star in it!
Ross: Or that.

Monica: No.

Monica: No.
Phoebe: Does it look like a urinal?
Monica: Ew!
