Quote from Chandler
Will: I can't get over how great you look.
Monica: You too. You're just, you're so fit.
Chandler: I'm watching the game but I'm not deaf.
Quote from Ross
Ross: Will. You came.
Will: Hey, Ross.
Ross: Man, you look incredible. Hot stuff! Hot stuff?
Quote from Monica
Monica: Rachel? Why don't you sit here? And Will, you sit way over there.
Quote from Monica
Rachel: Monica? Did you know about this?
Monica: I swear I didn't. Hey, is that why you guys used to go up to your bedroom and lock the door?
Monica: Yeah. A little relieved, I gotta say.
Quote from Ross
Rachel: Oh, no. This is all making so much sense to me now. This is why Adam Carter wouldn't go out with me. This is why Billy Tratt would just stay in this region.
Ross: Actually, Billy Tratt is gay now, so that one's not really our fault.
Quote from Monica
Rachel: Monica, how come you never told me this?
Monica: I thought it might be true. I was afraid that you were gonna cry and then show it to me.
Quote from Joey
Rachel: Joey, stop staring. There's nothing there. It's not true.
Joey: I'm afraid I'm gonna need proof.
Quote from Monica
Rachel: Fine, you can have your stupid, little club. But I would just like to say what you did to me is way worse than what I did to you. You gave me a teeny weenie.
Will: Yeah!
Monica: All right, listen. You're just being silly. Rachel, even with that rumor you were one of the most popular girls in school. Everyone wanted to be like you. One girl wanted to be like you so much, she stuffed her pants with a Tootsie Roll.
Rachel: Wow.
Quote from Chandler
Monica: Alright, guys, could you help me with the dishes? There's a lot of pots and pans.
Chandler: Oh, honey, I'd love to but the second game's about to start, so...
Phoebe: Oh, yeah. The second game. More football for the Phoebster.
Monica: Who's playing?
Chandler: Los Angeles.
Monica: Wow. Last time I checked, Los Angeles didn't have a football team.
Chandler: Did I say Los Angeles? I meant the team that used to be in Los Angeles and is now in St. Louis. [whispering to Phoebe] I actually knew that.
Monica: Okay. Quick, name three players on that team.
Chandler: Gretzky. Agassi... I'm a pretty little girl. [Monica throws Chandler a dish towel]
Quote from Joey
Monica: Just so you know, I'm not gonna make a turkey this year.
Joey: What?
Monica: Well, Phoebe doesn't eat turkey.
Joey: Phoebe!
Phoebe: Turkeys are intelligent, beautiful animals.
Joey: No, they're not. They're ugly and stupid and delicious.
