Quote from Rachel
Mr. Thompson: Rachel, nice to see you. So glad you brought someone.
Rachel: Someone? I brought people. This is Phoebe. Phoebe, this is Mr. Thompson. He's the head of my department. And I also brought my friend Joey.
Joey: Ooh. Shrimp toast!
Rachel: You know, I don't know where he is.
Quote from Ross
Ross: Everybody put their balloons down! Now, this is a nice suit!
Quote from Joey
Mr. Thompson: And finally, our biggest item of the night. The 22-foot Gentleman's Daysailer sailboat. The winning bid was a whopping $20,000.
Joey: I won. That was my guess.
Rachel: What? What? What?
Joey: I guessed $20,000.
Rachel: Joey, it is an auction. You don't guess. You buy.
Joey: What? I don't have $20,000.
Mr. Thompson: Congratulations on your new boat, Joey Tribbiani.
Rachel: Joey, sit down.
Phoebe: Forget her. You enjoy this. Whoo!
Quote from Monica
Chandler: Before I met you, I had really little life. And I couldn't imagine growing old with-
Monica: Oh, my God.
Chandler: I know. But let me say it.
Monica: Oh, my God. Richard.
Chandler: What? I'm Chandler. Oh, that's Richard.
Monica: Oh, God. Maybe he won't see us. Richard!
Quote from Chandler
Chandler: And you don't have a mustache, which is good. I'm Chandler. I make jokes when I'm uncomfortable.
Quote from Chandler
Richard: I'm sorry. Lisa, Monica, Chandler. We used to date.
Chandler: Richard, no one's supposed to know about us. See, I did it again.
Quote from Joey
Rachel: What were you thinking?
Joey: I didn't know it was an auction. I figured I'd take a guess. Help a charity. Free boat!
Rachel: Why would a charity give away a free boat?
Joey: I don't know. Charity?
Quote from Phoebe
Phoebe: Well, just buy the damn boat.
Rachel: Phoebe, don't you think you've had enough to drink?
Phoebe: I'm just helping the kids.
Rachel: How is you drinking helping the kids?
Phoebe: Because the more I drink, the less there is for the kids to drink.
Quote from Rachel
Rachel: All right, this is what we're going to do. We'll go to the next highest bidder, and we are just going to let them buy it. And then you're just gonna pay the difference.
Joey: Okay. I don't know why the kids need a youth center anyway. They should just watch TV after school like I did. And I turned out fine.
Rachel: Not great.
Quote from Chandler
Richard: As a poet once said, "In the sweetness of friendship, let there be laughter and sharing of pleasures, for in the dew of little things, the heart finds its morning and is refreshed."
Monica: Aww.
Chandler: What?
