Ross: Really? Okay, tell it to me.
Joey: Now, you're gonna want to have sex with me when you hear it. But you have to remember, it is just the story.
Ross: I'll try to control myself.

Monica: You're sticking with the shell necklace, huh?

Quote from Phoebe

Monica: The best part is, we met this incredible couple on the flight.
Phoebe: That was the best part? Good honeymooning, tiger.
