Quote from Phoebe

Monica: I still don't get why Greg and Jennie would give us a fake number.
Joey: You know, if they knew what they were doing, they didn't give you real names either.
Monica: Okay. Maybe people give out fake numbers, but they don't give out fake names.
Joey: Oh, yeah? Hi. Ken Adams. Nice to meet you.
Phoebe: Regina Phalange.

Quote from Ross

Kristen: This is great wine.
Ross: It's from France. In Europe. Western Europe. You know, a few years ago, actually, I was backpacking across Western Europe.
Kristen: Really?
Ross: Uh-huh. Wait, it gets better. Yeah, I was in Barcelona.
Kristen: I studied for a year in Barcelona.
Ross: Anyway, um, so I was hiking-
Kristen: I love hiking.
Ross: Oh, that's great! I was hiking along the foothills of Mount Tibidaybo-
Kristen: I think it's "Tibidabo."
Ross: Okay. Do you want to tell the story?!

Quote from Joey

Rachel: How do you know about that story?
Joey: How do you know about that story?
Rachel: I heard it from my friend Irene, who heard it from some guy.
Joey: Some guy.
Rachel: No, no. She told me that his name was Ken Adams.
Joey: Ken Adams!

Quote from Joey

Ross: You were in Western Europe, and?
Joey: I was just outside of Barcelona, hiking in the foothills of Mount Tibidabo. I was at the end of this path, and I came to a clearing and there was a lake. Very secluded. There were tall trees all around. It was dead silent. Gorgeous. And across the lake I saw a beautiful woman bathing herself. But she was crying.
Ross: Why?

Quote from Joey

Ross: Yes, let's. You know what, it's not important. What's important is that we're having a baby. It doesn't matter who came on to who.
Joey: "Whom." That's right.

Quote from Joey

Monica: [on the phone] Hello? 8th Street Deli?
Joey: Hey, hang up. You get food poisoning just talking to that place.
Monica: Sorry, wrong number.
Chandler: Here you go, babe.
Monica: [phones again] Hello? It's the deli again!
Joey: All right, I'll have a sandwich.

Quote from Phoebe

Monica: I don't think this number's right.
[Joey and Phoebe laugh]
Chandler: What?
Phoebe: You got fake-numbered.
Monica: What? People don't do that.
Joey: Oh, I think we do.
Monica: They gave us a fake number? Why would they do that?
Chandler: I don't know. You were a delight to talk to. You asked all those insightful, great questions.
Monica: And you've never been funnier. I mean, joke, joke, joke. You were a hoot.
Joey: You know what, don't worry about it. You still got me and Phoebe.
Phoebe: Excuse me, I don't want Greg and Jenny's rejects.

Quote from Phoebe

Ross: Rachel won't talk to me. She won't even open the door.
Phoebe: Hmm. I wonder why, pervert.
Ross: Okay, listen, I am not a pervert.
Phoebe: That's, like, the pervert motto. Yeah, they have you raise your right hand, put your left hand down your pants and repeat that.

Quote from Joey

Ross: Here's what happened. And Joey, you can back me up on this. All right, about a month and a half ago, remember I came to you with a problem? The personal thing?
Joey: Pers- What personal thing?
Ross: About- About sex? That I hadn't had sex in months?
Joey: Yeah, I knew what you were talking about.

Quote from Joey

Ross: I'm kind of going through a dry spell, sex-wise.
Joey: Oh, for, like, months?
Ross: Five, to be lying. Six.
Joey: Six months? Whoa, that's rough.
Ross: I mean, it's not all bad. I'm learning to appreciate the smaller things in life, like the sound of a bird and the color of the sky.
Joey: The sky's blue, Ross. And I had sex yesterday.
