MonicaMan, I would be great in a war! I really think I'd make a fantastic military leader. I mean, I know I'd make general before any of you guys.
Before or after you were shot by your own troops?
MonicaOpen your eyes.
They are.
[Rachel's eyes are closed]
MonicaHow many fingers am I holding up?
Four.
MonicaOh, my God. I was thinking four.
Really?
MonicaOK, now this is just practice. One... two... three.
[Rachel quickly jerks her head to avoid the eyedrops]
MonicaMy pillow's all wet.
Well, you said it was practice.
MonicaThen why did you move your head?
Because I knew you were lying.
MonicaOkay. You cannot tell Chandler. Okay? But I ran into Richard.
Which Richard?
MonicaThe Richard.
Richard Simmons?!
MonicaNo, my ex-boyfriend Richard. You know: the tall guy, mustache.
Okay, that actually makes more sense. How was it?
This place is so much better than London! Okay? This lady dressed like Cleopatra gave me a coupon, 99 cent steak and lobster dinner. Huh!
MonicaPhoebe, you don't eat animals.
For 99 cents, I'd eat you.
MonicaWhat are you guys gonna do?
Well, I guess we just find a divorce lawyer.
Well, I think, I think... Ross already has one.
MonicaYeah, yeah, that guy's finally gonna be able to put in that pool.
Ha, okay...
Now, this one's free, right? Because you paid for the first two, so you get the third one for free...
Laugh it up! ...but the joke's on you... because we don't need to get divorced... okay? We're just gonna get an annulment.
An annulment?! Ross... I don't think surgery's the answer here!
So, my reading was wrong - I'm not gonna die!
MonicaHow do you know?
Because my psychic's dead! She must have read it wrong.
Oh, Pheebs, I'm sorry.
Hey, better her than me. Ooh! Let's bake cookies!
MonicaI wonder what age it is that you stop being able to put both legs behind your head.
Oh, I can still do that.
MonicaHow are you still single?
You know what else I'm not gonna miss? [mockingly] "I'm Monica. I wash the toilet seventeen times a day, even if people are on it!"
Monica"Hi, I'm Rachel. Is my sweater too tight? No? Oh, I better wash it and shrink it!"
"I'm Monica. I don't get phone messages from interesting people, ever.
Hey, I call her.
Monica"Oh my, I love Ross, I hate Ross! I love Ross, I hate Ross!
"Oh my...! I can't find a boyfriend, so I guess I'll just stumble across the hall and sleep with the first guy I find in there!"
[Mad at Rachel's last comment, Monica angrily dumps one of Rachel's belongings into the cardboard box and walks away.]
Yeah, we should get a move on if we wanna make those dinner reservations. [she pulls out a drawer and dumps the entire contents into the box
MonicaJoey, did you even interview this woman before you asked her to move in?
Of course I did.
MonicaWhat exactly did you ask her?
"When can you move in?"
MonicaHoney, that's a great idea nailing your boxes to the floor !
I didn't nail my boxes to the floor.
MonicaOh so you can move them !
[Referring to her boss Kim] She doesn't like me very much.
That's great. Because my boss doesn't like me either.
MonicaMy boss doesn't like me either.
Maybe it's like a universal thing.
Or maybe because you're all hanging around here at 11:30 on a Wednesday.
[In chorus] Let's get off to work...
MonicaDad, you know that mailman you got fired? He didn't steal your Playboys, Ross did.
Yea, well Hurricane Gloria didn't break the porch swing, Monica did.
MonicaRoss hasn't worked at the museum for a year.
Monica and Chandler are living together!
MonicaRoss married Rachel in Vegas, and got divorced, AGAIN!
I love Jacques Cousteau!
I wasn't supposed to put beef in the trifle!
I wanna gooooo!
That's a lot of information to get in thirty seconds. All right, Joey, if you wanna leave, just leave. Rachel, no, you weren't supposed to put beef in the trifle. It did not taste good. Phoebe, I'm sorry, but I think Jacques Cousteau is dead. Monica, why you felt you had to hide the fact that you're in an important relationship is beyond me.
And we kinda figured about the porch swing.
Monica[to Janine] You know, you're not so quiet yourself, missy!
[to Janine] And I'm blah? Listen, the only thing more boring than watching modern dance is having to listen to you talk about it! [in a bad Australian accent] "Oh, Chandler, I just lost myself in the movement!"
I didn't know Playboy prints jokes.
Yeah, they print jokes, interviews, hard-hitting journalism. It's not just about the pictures!
MonicaIt didn't work on Mom. It's not going to work on us.
[Joey walks in]
Hey, Joey, look -- Playboy printed my joke!
[Joey reads it and makes a slight chuckle] Whoa, whoa, whoa! Jokes? But... You guys know they have naked chicks in there, right?
[In reference to Phoebe doing porn.]
MonicaWell, I guess it makes sense, you know, having such a terrible childhood.
I had a terrible childhood and I don't do porn.
MonicaYes, but you're dead inside.
