‘The One with the Male Nanny’
Season 9, Episode 6 - Aired November 7, 2002
Ross is uneasy when Rachel hires a sensitive male nanny to look after Emma. Meanwhile, Chandler worries he is no longer the funniest man in Monica's life, and Phoebe is torn between Mike and her long-time flame David.
Quote from Chandler
Chandler: So Oklahoma's a crazy place. You know, they call it the Sooner State. Frankly, I'd sooner be in any other state. And what's with Oklahoma having a panhandle? Can all states have stuff like that? Hey, yeah, I'm from the waistband of Wyoming. But when I was 7, we headed over to the crotch.
Monica: Was your cabin pressurized?
Chandler: And don't get me started on the way the people from Tulsa talk.
Phoebe: Okay.
Chandler: What's with the word "y'all"? You know, just two words just pushed together? Are we all allowed to do that? Because if so, I say why stop there? You know, your new poodle could be your noodle. And fried chicken could be fricken. Waiter? Waiter, excuse me, I'll have the fricken!
Quote from Ross
Ross: Did Rachel tell you we hired a male nanny?
Monica: Yeah, I think that's great.
Ross: Did she tell you he plays the recorder, recites poetry and bakes madeleines?
Monica: Oh. How are they?
Ross: Lighter than air, but that's not the point.
Quote from David
David: There's an old Russian expression that goes [speaks Russian]. Roughly translated, that means: "This thing that I'm looking at: Wow."
Phoebe: Thank you. You should see me when- Actually, no, I look pretty good.
Quote from Ross
Joey: Hey, Ross. Check it out. Sandy taught me "Hot Cross Buns".
Ross: Really? It sounded like "Three Blind Mice".
Joey: No. "Three Blind Mice" goes like this.
Ross: I swear to God.
Quote from Ross
Ross: Worse comes to worst, we can always reconsider the first one we met with.
Rachel: What, the blond with no bra?
Ross: She was blond?
Quote from Joey
Joey: Look at you two holding hands. Is this getting serious? Have you not talked about it yet? Am I making you uncomfortable? If you were bigger you'd hit me.
Quote from Mike
Mike: It's to my apartment.
Phoebe: Wow. Big step for Phoebe and Mike.
Mike: Look, I don't want you to feel like you have to give me your key just because-
Phoebe: No, I want to.
Mike: Oh, thank God.
Quote from Ross
Ross: Okay, this one's name is Sandy. She's got a degree in Early Childhood Education. She worked for her last family for three years.
Sandy: Hi. I'm Sandy.
Ross: And she's a little mannish.
Quote from David
Phoebe: What are you doing here? Are you back from Minsk?
David: Well, just for a couple of days. I'm here to explain to the people who gave us our grant why it's a positive thing that we've spent all their money and accomplished nothing.
