Quote from Rachel

Monica: You wanna fool around with Joey?
Rachel: Yeah. You know what, ever since I had that dream about him, I can't get it out of my head. I mean, what's the big deal? People do it all the time.
Monica: Who? Who do you know that are friends that just fool around?
Rachel: Okay. Off the top of my head Don and Janet.
Monica: Who are they?
Rachel: I know them from work.
Monica: Both of them?
Rachel: No, just one of them.
Monica: Which one?
Rachel: I don't know. What were the names I just said?
