‘The One with the Routine’
Season 6, Episode 10 - Aired December 16, 1999
When Janine lands a role as a dancer on Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve, she invites Joey, Ross and Monica to join her. Meanwhile, Phoebe, Rachel and Chandler try to find Monica's Christmas presents for them.
Quote from Rachel
Janine: Do you guys want to come too?
Ross: Are you serious?
Monica: We are there.
[Rachel laughing]
Chandler: What are you laughing at?
Rachel: Well, I used to date him, but you're still going out with her.
Quote from Ross
Rachel: Well, that's a lot better than Ross trying to kiss me in high school and saying that he did it because he needed Chap Stick.
Ross: It was a dry day.
Quote from Joey
Tall Guy: Hey, guy. You got about three seconds to get away from my partner.
Stage Manager: What's going on here?
Joey: Take a look at the guy's pants. Uh, I know you told us to show excitement, but don't you think he went a little overboard?
Stage Manager: What's the matter with you? Get out of here.
Joey: Yeah, take a hike, wet pants!
Quote from Rachel
Ross: And that's the story of the dreidel. Now, some people trace the Christmas tree back to the Egyptians, who used to bring green palm branches into huts on the shortest day of the year, symbolizing life's triumph over death. And that was, like, 4000 years ago.
Rachel: So, pretty much around the same time that you started telling this story.
Quote from Chandler
Joey: I had to get out of the apartment. Janine is, like, stretching all over the place. You know, everywhere I look she's like... [Joey poorly demonstrates some stretches]
Chandler: I can see why that's hard to resist.
Joey: I like her so much.
Monica: Oh, I'm sorry, sweetie, that she doesn't feel the same.
Joey: I know. And she's so sweet. I just want to feed her grapes and brush her hair.
Chandler: You are aware that she's not a monkey, right?
Quote from Chandler
Monica: We are going to Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin ' Eve!
Ross: Oh, my God!
Monica: Oh, my God!
Chandler: Oh, my God!
Quote from Rachel
Rachel: Chandler, aren't you worried about what to get Monica for Christmas?
Chandler: No, I have a great idea for a present for her.
Phoebe: Oh, that's it? A great idea? Oh, yeah?
Rachel: Chandler, that's not enough. I mean, what if she gets you a great present, two medium presents and then a bunch of little presents, and you've just gotten her one great present? I mean, that's just going to make her feel bad. Why would you do that to her, Chandler? Why? Why?
Chandler: If I help, we can find them faster.
Rachel: That's right.
Quote from Chandler
Rachel: We are so gonna find them this year.
Chandler: You know when you guys said you were gonna go across the hall and look, you don't do that every year do you?
Rachel: Yeah.
Chandler: You don't, like, go into the back of my closet and look under my gym bag or anything?
Rachel: No. Never do that.
[Phoebe and Rachel start laughing]
Chandler: Because that's where Joey gave me stuff to store that I've never seen in my life. Okay, that did not just happen.
Quote from Monica
Ross: What'd you guys do to get up on there?
Woman: We learned how to dance.
Monica: Oh, yeah? Well when you learned how to dance, did you forget how to put on underpants?
