Chandler: You have to forget about Elizabeth. I mean, if you're not careful, you may not get married at all this year.

Quote from Rachel

Ross: God, that is the most beautiful engagement ring ever.
Rachel: Yeah, well, you should know, you bought like a billion of them.
Ross: Yeah. You didn't get one.

Quote from Monica

Monica: Look, Ross, the only question you need to ask is, do you see a future? I mean, do you see yourself marrying her? Oh, my God. You did it already. You married her, didn't you?

Quote from Joey

Mr. Bowmont: I was actually relieved I didn't win the boat. My wife would've killed me.
Joey: Are you kidding me? She's going to love this boat.
Rachel: Yeah. What is your wife's name?
Mr. Bowmont: It's Pam.
Rachel: It's Pam. Oh, okay. Just imagine this. The Pam.
Mr. Bowmont: I don't think she'd like that.
Rachel: Okay, imagine this: The Mr. Bowmont.
Mr. Bowmont: I don't think so, dear.
Rachel: Okay, look. Let me paint you a little picture. All right. You are setting sail up the Hudson.
You've got the wind in your ... arms. You get all that peace and quiet that you've always wanted. You get back to nature. You can go fishing. You get one of those little hats and have people call you captain. And then when you're old, Cappy.
Mr. Bowmont: What the hell. It's for a good cause. All right.
Joey: No way. It's mine.
Rachel: What? What?
Joey: All that stuff you just said, I want that.
Rachel: But, Joey, you don't have $20,000.
Joey: Who cares? I'll make payments. Whatever it takes. I want the Mr. Bowmont!

Quote from Phoebe

Joey: Rach, Rach. Okay, the next highest bidder is at table one.
Rachel: Oh, great.
Joey: And the guy who got the Paris trip is at table four.
Phoebe: Oh, okay.
Rachel: Why do you care about the guy who won the Paris trip?
Phoebe: It's a trip for two. Excuse me. Is the guy who won the Paris trip at this table?
Guy: That was me.
Phoebe: Oh. Enchanté.

Quote from Chandler

Joey: How are you going to ask her?
Chandler: It's going to be perfect. I am taking her to her favorite restaurant. I'm going to get her a bottle of the champagne she really loves, therefore knows how expensive it is. And then, when the glasses are full, instead of proposing a toast, I'm just going to propose.
Joey: Sounds perfect. You're going to mess it up. Let me do it.

Quote from Phoebe

Phoebe: If she says no, can I have the ring?
Chandler: She's not going to say no.
Phoebe: If.

Quote from Phoebe

Rachel: What about you guys?
Phoebe: Open bar?
Rachel: I think so.
Phoebe: I can do that for the kids.

Quote from Joey

Joey: You know what, I'll come too. I'm making money now. It's about time I give something back.
Chandler: Well, you could give back the money you owe me.
Joey: Okay. Have a benefit.

Quote from Chandler

Rachel: Ross, can you come to a charity event tonight?
Ross: No, I have plans with Elizabeth.
Chandler: Oh, so you're already doing your part for the kids.
