Quote from Rachel

Rachel: Well, I don't know how this fits into your whole "seizing" thing but Emily called you today.
Ross: You talked to her?
Rachel: No, she left a message. But it kind of got erased. I mean, there's something wrong with your machine.
Ross: Okay. What did she say?
Rachel: Well, something about having second thoughts about the wedding and did you guys make a mistake breaking up? And she wants you to call her.
Ross: Wow.
Rachel: Now, that was a good thing that I told you, right?
Ross: Yeah. Yes. Of course.
Rachel: Okay, thank you. Thank you. Because I'm gonna go tell Monica I was right. Because, you know what, she didn't want- Not important. Point is, I was right. Your decision.

Quote from Joey

Joey: I know where Joey would be. He'd be down in the foxhole protecting all of us.
Chandler: Yes, if the foxhole was lined with sandwiches.
Joey: Yeah, hero sandwiches.

Quote from Ross

Joey: Oh, what, like you're Mr. Cop?
Ross: Hey, I'm more cop than you two.
Chandler: How do you figure that?
Ross: Hello? I'm in the front seat, okay? I'm Gary's partner.
Chandler: You know, when you say "partner," it doesn't sound cop. It sounds gay.
Ross: Um, jealous.

Quote from Rachel

Monica: No!
Rachel: I know!
