Season 5, Episode 20 - Aired April 29, 1999
As Ross, Joey and Chandler go on a ride-along with Gary, Phoebe's cop boyfriend, a potentially dangerous situation makes Chandler think Joey prefers Ross over him. Meanwhile, when Rachel goes to Ross's apartment for margarita ingredients she overhears an emotional call from Emily, who is having second thoughts about her recent engagement.
Quote from Rachel
Rachel: Maybe I could call his machine and re-create the message. All right, okay. Um... [in a British accent] Hello, Ross, this is Rachel- Emily! [stops] God, what is it with those two names?
Quote from Joey
Chandler: I'm very glad you saved Ross when the car backfired, but it could've been a bullet.
And, you know, you didn't try to save me.
Joey: Oh. You're upset because you think I chose Ross over you. No, I knew you could take care of yourself. You know? I mean, Ross needs help. He's not "street" like us.
Quote from Ross
Rachel: Well, there you go.
Ross: Yeah, maybe today's just "close call" day.
Quote from Joey
Monica: Okay, guys, listen. Don't forget, tomorrow is the day that Emily gets married again.
So whatever we do, just try to really keep Ross's mind off of it.
Joey: Good idea.
Chandler: Hey, man. What's up?
Ross: Just thinking about Emily getting married tomorrow.
Joey: Oh, Ross. Look, look.
Ross: What? Where?
Joey: Right over there. There. Look, look, look.
Ross: What am I looking at?
Joey: Somebody help me out here.
Quote from Monica
Rachel: Honey, it's okay. It's okay. How about I fix you a drink? Maybe a margarita?
Monica: Ross has the blender. Ugh, everything's just falling apart.
Quote from Ross
Ross: He told you everything. You cracked him.
Gary: Well, seeing as he was the victim. They're usually pretty talkative.
Quote from Joey
Chandler: What is so great about that sandwich?
Joey: Okay, imagine the best sex you ever had.
Chandler: Okay.
Joey: Are you thinking about Monica?
Chandler: Yeah.
Joey: Yeah? What's that like?
Quote from Monica
Monica: Look, I'm his sister and I love him. I don't want to see him get hurt. Doesn't that give me the right to control- help him?
Rachel: I don't think he's the one that needs help.
Quote from Chandler
Gary: Hey, Joey, you ever think about joining the force? We could use a guy like you.
Chandler: Who jumps at loud noises.
