Quote from Phoebe

Ross: Oh, my God. I never thought I'd see this again. It's all here. What made you save it all these years? I guess I just thought it was really good. And maybe it would be worth something one day.
Ross: You really thought "Science Boy" was worth saving?
Phoebe: Yeah. But you should know I also have a jar of Vaseline and a cat skull in here.

Quote from Monica

Monica: Wow. That's a big cable bill. Ha. You don't have a job, but you have no problem ordering porn. On a Saturday afternoon? I was in the house.

Quote from Phoebe

Ross: Are there any more of your friends I should look out for?
Phoebe: No. Actually, you might want to stay away from Jane Street. That's where Stabby Joe works.

Quote from Phoebe

Ross: You wanna know how she knew him? Because Phoebe used to mug people.
Monica: Seriously?
Phoebe: Well, I'm not proud of it, but, you know, sometimes when I was living on the street and I needed money for food and stuff-
Monica: Phoebe, that is awful.
Phoebe: Okay. I wasn't rich like you guys, okay? I didn't eat gold and have a flying pony. I had a hard life. My mother was killed by a drug dealer.
Monica: Your mother killed herself.
Phoebe: She was a drug dealer.

Quote from Chandler

Monica: Hey, what are you doing?
Chandler: Putting on the sneakers. I thought I'd get in the younger mindset, see if it sparks anything.
Rachel: Oh, anything yet?
Chandler: Yes, how's this? "They're so uncomfortable, it's like getting kicked in the nuts for your feet."
