‘The One with the Lottery’
Season 9, Episode 18 - Aired April 3, 2003
When the friends pool their cash to buy dozens of lottery tickets, disagreements break out over how to split the potential jackpot. Meanwhile, Chandler is expecting news about an advertising job, and Ross and Rachel are waiting for Emma's first word.
Quote from Chandler
Phoebe: Hey. If we're not doing this together, we're not doing it at all. Say goodbye to your tickets.
All: No! No! No!
Phoebe: Do not come any closer.
Chandler: Can I come a little bit closer? Valuable things are getting squished.
Quote from Phoebe
Phoebe: Hello. This is the pigeon from the balcony calling to apologize. I shouldn't have knocked the tickets out of the pretty lady's hand. It was all my fault. Not hers. Bye. Coo.
Quote from Rachel
Rachel: It is so unfair. It's like that time they promoted Saundra over me at work.
Chandler: Oh. Was she related to Ralph Lauren?
Rachel: No, she was just much better at her job than me.
Quote from Rachel
Rachel: Why aren't you more excited?
Ross: Rach, gleba is not a word.
Rachel: Well, of course it is.
Ross: Okay. What does it mean?
Rachel: Well, I don't know all the words.
Ross: You know, I'm just glad I didn't miss my daughter's first word.
Rachel: Yes you did. Gleba is a word.
Ross: Okay. Use it in a sentence.
Rachel: Okay. Emma just said, "Gleba."
Ross: It's not a word.
Rachel: Okay, fine. I'm gonna look it up.
Ross: Okay, great. You know what, while you're at it, she said another word the other day.
Why don't you look up: [blows raspberry]
Quote from Ross
Rachel: Well, you know what? There was a little part of me that really thought we were gonna win.
Ross: Me too. So much for my dinosaur/Amelia Earhart theme park.
Quote from Ross
Phoebe: You guys, what was the Powerball number again?
Ross: Seven.
Phoebe: We won.
Rachel: What?
Phoebe: We won.
Monica: Let me see. Let me see.
Phoebe: Don't tear it.
Ross: Phoebe, you don't have any of the first five numbers.
Phoebe: I know that, but look, we got the Powerball number. We won $3!
Chandler: Wow, you think we should get that over twenty years or go for the big payout?
Phoebe: I don't care. I've never won anything before. I can't believe this.
Rachel: So, Pheebs, what are you gonna do with your $3?
Phoebe: Well, it's not all mine. We all get 50 cents.
Rachel: Aw. You know what? You can have mine.
Chandler: Me too.
Joey: Me too.
Monica: Me too.
Ross: Well, I guess if everybody else is.
Quote from Phoebe
Joey: Hey, guys. So I just called the Powerball hot line. Can you believe it? Nobody won.
Phoebe: Um, I beg to differ.
Gunther: Maybe nobody won the jackpot, but there was this guy in here earlier and he found a ticket on the street right outside and won $10,000.
Phoebe: Coo. Again, don't blame the pretty lady. It was not her fault. It was me, the pigeon. Coo. Seriously, stop staring at her.
Quote from Ross
Chandler: So now that you're in, what are you gonna do if we win?
Ross: I don't know. I'll probably just invest it.
Chandler: Ooh, calm down.
Joey: Seriously, that's your fantasy? To invest it?
Ross: Oh, I'm sorry. Did I say, "invest it"? I meant, "Be cool and piss it all away."
Quote from Monica
Rachel: All right. Believe me, if you win the lottery it's the last you're gonna hear from us.
Monica: Fine. Don't be my friends. I'll buy new friends. Yeah, and then I'll pay for their plastic surgery so they look just like you.
Quote from Joey
Joey: Monica? Hey, can I borrow the Porsche?
Monica: Okay.
Joey: All right.
Monica: But what is it not?
Joey: A place to entertain my lady friends.
Monica: And what else is it not?
Joey: A place to eat spaghetti.
