Now that he's making money on Days of Our Lives, Joey repays Chandler for all the times he helped him out with $812 and a garish bracelet. Meanwhile, Monica's parents come to town with some of her old belongings, including a home video from the night of Monica and Rachel's prom.

Quote from Chandler

Joey: Some girl ate Monica.
Monica: Shut up. The camera adds ten pounds.
Chandler: Huh. So how many cameras are actually on you?

Quote from Chandler

Phoebe: Hey, Mon, what is this?
Monica: Oh, that was my bathing suit from high school. I was a little bigger then.
Chandler: Oh, I thought that's what they used that to cover Connecticut when it rains.

Quote from Chandler

Joey: This is a little extra something for always being there for me.
Chandler: Wow, I don't know what to say. [after opening the box] Wow, I don't know what to say.
Joey: What do you say?
Chandler: I don't know. It's a bracelet.
Joey: Isn't it? And it's engraved, too. Check it out.
Chandler: "To my best bud."
Joey: Thanks, best bud. Put it on.
Chandler: Now? [putting it away in a drawer] No, I think something this nice should be saved for a special occasion.
Joey: No, that's the beauty part. It goes with everything. When you put this on, you're good to go. Oh, man. You are so wearing that bracelet.
Chandler: I so am.
Joey: Do you have any idea what this will do for your sex life?
Chandler: Well, it will probably slow it down at first, but once I get used to the extra weight, I'll be back on track.

Quote from Chandler

Joey: How come you have two?
Chandler: Well, this one's for you.
Joey: Get out.
Chandler: No, I can't. Listen, I know how much this means to you and I also know this is about more than just jewelry. It's about you and me and the fact that we're "best buds."
Joey: Is this friendship? I think so. Check it out. We're bracelet buddies!
Chandler: That's what they'll call us.

Quote from Chandler

[on the video tape:]
Judy Geller: Oh, I see Rachel's coming up the path. Doesn't she look pretty? Jack? Can you get this?
[back in the apartment:]
Rachel: Oh, my God.
Joey: What is with your nose?
Rachel: They had to reduce it because of my deviated septum.
Chandler: Okay, I was wrong. That's what they use to cover Connecticut.

Quote from Phoebe

Phoebe: Oh, hang in there. It's gonna happen.
Ross: Now, how do you know that?
Phoebe: Because she's your lobster.
Chandler: Oh, she's going somewhere.
Phoebe: Come on, you guys. It's a known fact that lobsters fall in love and mate for life. You know what? You can actually see old lobster couples walking around their tank, holding claws, like...

Quote from Phoebe

Monica: I can't believe you did that.
Ross: Yeah, well. [Rachel goes over and kisses Ross]
Phoebe: See? He's her lobster!

Quote from Jack Geller

Monica: Wow, that is a surprise. Just one little question. Why not Ross's room?
Jack Geller: Gosh. We talked about that but your brother had so many science trophies, and plaques, and merit badges. Well, we didn't want to disturb them.
Monica: God forbid.

Quote from Chandler

Chandler: Oh, this is excellent. He could have gotten me a VCR or a set of golf clubs. But no, he has to get me the "woman repeller". The eyesore from the Liberace House of Crap!
Phoebe: It's not that bad.
Chandler: Oh, yeah, easy for you to say. You don't have to walk around sporting a reject from the Mr. T collection!
Phoebe: Chandler. Chandler-
Chandler: "l pity the fool that puts on my jewelry. I do. I do. l pity that fool that-" Hey, man. We were just doing some impressions over here. Do your Marcel Marceau. [Joey is silent] That's actually good.

Quote from Ross

Rachel: Okay, Ross, listen to me. I am not yours to save.
Ross: But you are.
Rachel: What?
Ross: Oh, well, you're my lobster.
Rachel: Okay. What, are you being, like, the blind-date guy again?
Ross: No, no. No, you're my lobster. See, lobsters. In the tank, when they're old they get with the- They walk around holding the claws. In the tank. You know, with with the holding and-Pheebs, you wanna help me with the whole lobster thing?
Phoebe: Do the claws again.
