Monica: Why did you?!

Ross: You know I still love her!

Monica: Yes, but why did she do it?!

Ross: To rebuild your friendship or summat!

Monica: I’m using your phone. She can’t be home yet. (Dials a number) Hugh? You make me sick! No,
I don’t feel well! Of course, it’s Rachel! You are the biggest slimeball! And I hope you rot in hell!

Joey: Hey, Pheebs.

Phoebe: Hey.

Joey: Do you know if there are any parts in those commercials I could audition for?

Phoebe: Oh, no.

Joey: OK, thanks.

Phoebe: Jean wouldn’t cast you anyway, she thinks your rubbish.

Joey: Then why did she cast me?

Phoebe: Because you were the only one who auditioned fopr the part. Male anyway. She didn’t want to
cast the transvestite.

Chandler: Or, it could not be good.

Monica: When did you do it?

Ross: About 30 minutes before I decided to get a new apartment.

fault, Ross! All your fault!

Monica: What is going on?

Chandler: I’ll tell you later. Go on up, hon.

Monica: Why?

Chandler: Just go. (Monica does so.)

Ross: It’s not all my fault.

Chandler: (Picks Ross up by the neck and punches him in the face, really hard. Chandler walks out)

Ross: Chandler, you are dead! No, I’ll be the better man and not punch. I’ll just tell Monica why you
said, I love you,I love you,I love you, I will never cheat on you. I love you, I love you!

Chandler: Woah!
