PhoebeI'm not sure about buying a mattress from Janice's ex-husband. It's like cheating on Chandler.
Not at these prices!
Phoebeoh my God I killed and this curse is getting stronger too to take a target that big
[The gang is trying to see if Ugly Naked Guy is alive by using a "poking device."]
PhoebeHe's alive! ALIVE!
And yet we're still poking him.
Retract the device! Retract the device!
He does not look happy.
And now he's showing us his poking device.
[to Ugly Naked Guy] Hey, that's never gonna reach all the way over here, buddy!
[After Chandler fools around with one of Joey's sisters.]
PhoebeHow can you not know which one?
I mean, that's unbelievable.
I mean, was it Gina?
Which one is Gina?
Dark, big hair, with the airplane earrings.
No, no, no, that's Dina.
You see, you can't tell which one is which either!
[Chandler lights a cigarette]
PhoebeChandler, what are you doing?
Chandler!
You're smoking again?
Well, actually yesterday I was smoking again, today I'm smoking still.
[Chandler lights a cigarette]
PhoebeChandler, what are you doing?
Chandler!
[realizes he's smoking] Oh my God!
You're smoking again?
Well, actually, yesterday I was smoking again. Today, I'm smoking still.
PhoebeWhy would you start again after chewing all that quitting gum?
Look, I'm telling you, this is just like my parents' divorce, which is when I first started smoking in the first place.
Weren't you 9?
[with the cigarette sticking out of his mouth] Yeah. I'm telling you something, that first smoke after naptime.
[a knock on the door is heard]
Oh, that's great. With my luck, that's gonna be him.
PhoebeHim? Him, Ross?
No, "Hymn" 253: "His eyes are on the Sparrow." When my parents got divorced, I started using humor as a defense mechanism.
[Chandler opens the door and it turns out to be Rachel]
Hi. Uh, do you guys have plans for the weekend? Because my sister's on hold and she said that we can have her cabin for the weekend, and go skiing. Huh? I'm asking you first, right? I mean, I'm playing by the rules.
Absolutely.
PhoebeYeah.
Yeah.
[Chandler starts smoking in front of Rachel]
Chandler! You're smoking? What are you doing?
Hey, shut up! You're not my real mom.
Don't you think he's a little young to get married?
PhoebeWhat? He's 18.
Exactly. It'll be illegal for him to drink at his own bachelor party.
Yeah, or -- or to get a hooker.
Always illegal, Joe.
PhoebeAlright, forget hypnosis. The way to quit smoking is you have to dance naked in a field of heather and then bathe in the sweat of six healthy young men.
Or what my father calls "Thursday night"
[Phoebe plays with a toy dinosaur while making barking sounds.]
Uh, Phoebe, while we're on the subject, dinosaurs don't go "Ruff!"
PhoebeThe little ones do.
PhoebeYou guys, do you know anything about chicks?
Fowl? No. Women?... No.
[A bedraggled Phoebe misses Joey's play, having spent all night on the phone while kept on hold by customer service.]
Hey, Pheebs -- where were ya?
PhoebeI'm so, so sorry, Joey. I am definitely going to see your play. I swear, your play is very important to us. Thank you for your patience. Your play is the next play I'm gonna see.
[looking at a picture] Me and Frank and Phoebe, graduation, 1965.
PhoebeYou know what that means?
That you're actually 50?
PhoebeNo, no that's not me Phoebe, that's her pal, Phoebe according to their High School yearbook, they were like BFF.
[everyone looks at her confused]
PhoebeBest friends forever.
Oh.
Monica got stung by a jellyfish.
Alright, alright. I got stung. I got stung bad. I couldn't stand. I couldn't walk.
We were two miles from the house. We were scared and alone. We didn't think we could make it.
I was in too much pain.
And I was tired from digging a huge hole!
And then Joey remembered something...
I'd seen this thing on The Discovery Channel.
Wait a minute, I saw that, on The Discovery Channel. About jellyfish, and how if you... Eww! You peed on yourself?
Eww!
You can't say that! You don't know! I thought I was going to pass out from the pain. Anyway, I tried, but I couldn't...bend that way. So...
[turning to the guys] Eww!
Yeah that's right. I stepped up! She's my friend and she needed help. And if I have to I'd pee on any one of you. Only, I couldn't... I got the stage fright. I wanted to help, but there was just too much pressure. So, so I turned to Chandler.
[moans] Joey kept screaming at me. Do it now, do it, do it, do it, do it now! Sometimes late at night I can still hear the screaming.
[chuckles] That's cause sometimes I scream it through my wall just to freak you out.
Maybe there's someone you can talk to.
Yeah like who? There's no group for people like us.
Wow, they really got you guys, your T.V., the chairs...
PhoebeYeah. Your microwave, the stereo...
Aw, man! He took the five of spades! [looks through deck] Oh no, no, here it is.
PhoebeYeah, but, Monica -- do you really want to be in a relationship where you can actually use the phrase "That's not how your dad used to do it"?
[indicating each of the group in succession] Fine! Judge all you want to, but: [to Ross] married a lesbian; [to Rachel] left a man at the altar; [to Phoebe] fell in love with a gay ice dancer; [to Joey] threw a girl's wooden leg in a fire; [to Chandler] living in a box!
[entering] Hey, you guys! Hey, Ross, quick question for ya. Are you ready to party?
I don’t know, I could maybe go out for a couple of beers, but there’s this thing about bumblebees on The Discovery Channel that I was planning to watch.
No-no, I don’t think you heard me. Are you ready to party?!
Nooo!! Gandalf?! Gandalf is coming to town?
Kathy’s with her parents, I have nothing to do, so tomorrow we are partying with Gandalf dude!
Dude, we are sooo gonna party!
PhoebeWow! Okay, dude alert! And who is this guy?
Mike "Gandalf" Ganderson, only like the funnest guy in the world.
I’m gonna call and get off work tomorrow!
I’m gonna call after you!
This is gonna be soo cool, dude, we never party anymore!
Woooo!!!
All right, were you guys smoking something in the back of our van?
Really. And what do you mean you never have fun anymore? You have fun with me, remember that time we saw those strippers and you paid me 50 bucks to eat that book?
Joey, you are gonna love this guy. Gandalf is like the party wizard!
Well, why do you call him Gandalf?
Gandalf the wizard. [Joey is still confused] Hello! Didn't you read Lord of the Rings in high school?
No, I had sex in high school.
