Quotes and Dialogues
Chandler: Why can’t I tell them that we live together? Why haven’t you told them?
Monica: Well, I was going to. I really was. But then, out of nowhere, I didn’t.
Janine: No, but you should go to Chandler’s. Because none of us knows how to cook, we’ll
probably just end up drinking all day.
Rachel: So, If I mess this up, there’s nothing else for dessert?
Ross: Oh, but it is just like the first Thanksgiving, when the Indians and the Pilgrims sat down to
dinner.
Joey: Yeah, yeah, and the Indians taught the Pilgrims what it meant to be hot in the new world!
Jack: Monica, all this food looks wonderful. You should think about doing this for a living.
(Chandler laughs) Okay, I have dandruff. There’s no need to laugh and point.
Rachel: It’s a trifle. It’s got all these layers. First, there’s a layer of ladyfinger, then jam, then
custard, which I made from scratch, then raspberries, more ladyfingers, then beef sautéed with
peas and onions…
Ross: Oh, my God. The pages are stuck together…

Joey: Chandler!
Ross: I think I might know why my parents don’t like you. We were young, I got high in my
bedroom, my parents walked in and smelled it. So I told them you had gotten stoned and jumped
out the window.
Monica: Dad, please don’t pick your teeth out here. And if you’re going to put your feet up…
Phoebe: Monica, leave him alone!
Rachel: Phoebe, do I wanna hear this?

Phoebe: I don’t know, let’s see. I dreamt we were getting married and he left because he had to
go fight a fire. So I went to a nightclub and I saw him making out with a girl.
Rachel: Oh! My God, he dream-cheated on you!
Phoebe: But then Jacques Cousteau came and he kicked his ass for betraying me. So cool! Then
he took me diving and introduced me to his sea horse, who by the way was totally coming on to
me. But, please… that’s not gonna happen.
