FRIENDS QUOTES

# SEASON ONE

Ross : Hellooo.
Joey : This guy says hello and I want to kill myself.

Monica: Okay, everybody. Relax. This is not even a date. It's just two people going out to dinner and not having sex.
Chandler: Sounds like a date to me.

Chandler: Sometimes I wish I was a lesbian. Did I say that out loud?

Ross : I dont want to be single, I want to be married again.
<Rachel runs in in wedding dress>
Chandler : And I want a million dollars...

Monica: Joey, stop hitting on her. It's her wedding day.
Joey: What? Like there's some rule or something?

Joey: What are we supposed to be seeing here,
Chandler: I don't know, but I think it's about to attack the Enterprise. Phoebe: Here's my money. But you should all know, it's cursed.
Joey: Cursed?
Phoebe: Oh yeah. I cursed it. And bad things will happen to he who spends it.
Chandler: Here, I'll take it. Bad things happen to me anyway. At least this way I can break them up with a movie. Ross: You know what? I'd better pass on the game. I'm just gonna go home and think about my ex-wife and her lesbian lover.
Joey: The hell with hockey. Let's all do that. Phoebe : Joey, what would you do if you were omnipotent?
Joey : I'd probably kill myself, hey, if little Joey's dead, big Joey ain't got not reason to live.

Joey: Why do you have to break up with her? Be a man. Just stop calling.

Chandler : Could she be anymore out of my league?

Chandler : She makes the women I dream about, look like short, fat bald men.

Chandler : Well, what kind of a relationship do you see us having considering you have your foot so far up my leg that you can count the change in my pocket?

Chandler to Joey on the phone: "I'm tsfraphpd ain n A{T%M~ vrehstifpool wriphd JVILHL GROOFDACPHRE!"

Chandler : "Gum would be perfection? Gum would be perfection. Could have said 'gum would be nice', could have said 'I'll have a stick', but no no, no, no, no for me, gum is perfection! I loathe myself...."

Shelley : Do you want a date Saturday?
Chandler : Yes please.
Shelley : Okay. He's cute, he's funny, he's-
Chandler : He's a he?

Chandler : "Out of my league? What do you mean? I could get a Brian! If I wanted to, I could get a Brian!" (Brian enters the room) "Hi Brian!"

Scientist Guy : "... and then I said that while Daryl Hannah is beautiful in the classical sense, you are beautiful with a kind of a delicate grace. And that's, that's when you started yelling." Joey: How could you let this happen?
Ross: I don't know. Well, it's not like she's a regular mom. She's sexy, she's-
Joey: You don't think my Mom's sexy?
Ross: Well, not in the same way-
Joey: Hey, I'll have you know that Gloria Tribbiani was a handsome woman in her day all right. You think it's easy giving birth to seven children?
Ross: Okay, I think we're getting into a weird area here. Chandler : "That's a realtively open weave and I can still see your... nipular region."

Rachel : "Tit for tat."
Chandler : "Well, I'm not showing you my tat."

Chandler : *moves head left* Rock.
*right* Hard place.
*forward* Me.

Chandler : "Calm down? Calm down! You set me up with a woman I dumped twice in the last five months!"

Joey : We might be leaving now.
Chandler : Tell me it's you and me 'we'.
Joey : She said she wants to slather my body with stuff and lick it off me. I'm not even sure what "slathering" is, but I definitely wanna be a part of it.

Chandler : Ok, Janice. Janice. Hey, Janice. Look, there's no way for me to tell you this. At least there's no new way for me to tell you this. I just don't things are gonna work out.
Janice : That's fine.
Chandler : [surprised] It is?
Janice : Mmm-hmm. Because I know that this isn't the end.
Chandler : Oh no, you see, actually it is.
Janice : No, it isn't, because you won't let that happen. Don't you know it yet? You love me, Chandler Bing.
Chandler : Oh, no I don't.
Janice : Well then ask yourself this. Why do you think we keep ending up together? New Year's? Who invited who? Valentine's? Who asked who into whose bed?
Chandler : I did, but-
Janice : You seek me out. Something deep in your soul calls out to me like a foghorn. Janice, Janice. You want me. You need me. You can't live without me. And you know it. You just don't know you know it. See ya.

Ross : I was the James Michener of dirty talk. It was the most elaborate filth you have ever heard. I mean, there were different characters, plot lines, themes, a motif. At one point there were villagers...

Chandler: You guys all have goals, you all have dreams. I don't have a dream.
Ross: Ah, the lesser known 'I don't have a dream' speech.
        - The One With The Stoned Guy

Ross: I had a dream last night where I was playing football with my kid.
Chandler: Oh, yeah? That's nice.
Ross: No. No. With him. I'm on this field, and they hike me the baby. And I know I've got to do something, 'cause the Tampa Bay defence is coming right at me.
        - The One With The Two Parts (2?)

        - The One With The Poker

Ross: I figured after work, I'd pick up a bottle of wine, go over there, and try to... woo her.
Chandler: Hey, you know what you should do? Take her back to the 1890s when that phrase was last used.

Chandler : I am telling you, years from now, schoolchildren will study it as one of the greatest first dates of all time. It was unbelievable! We could totally be ourselves, we didn't have to play any games...
Monica : So have you called her yet?
Chandler : Let her know I like her? What are you, insane? It's the next day! How needy do I want to seem? I'm right, right?

Chandler : I feel violated. And not in a good way.

Phoebe: If you want, call her machine. If she has a lot of beeps, it probably means she hasn't picked up her messages yet.
Chandler: You don't think that seems a little...
Ross: Desperate? Needy? Pathetic?
Chandler: You obviously saw my personal ad.

Chandler: She obviously got my message. And is choosing not to call me. Now I'm needy and snubbed. God, I miss just being needy.

Chandler (to Monica) : Hell is filled with people like you.

Joey : "How young is Young Ethan?"
Monica : "He's our age."
Chandler : "When we were?"

Chandler : "Could this report be any later?"

Chandler: "Alright, I'll tell you what. When we're 40, if neither of us are married, what do you say you and I get together and have one? "
Monica: "Why won't I be married when I'm 40?!"
Chandler: "Oh no no. No. I just meant hypothetically."
Monica: "Okay, hypothetically, why won't I be married when I'm 40!?" Chandler: "No. No no!"
Monica: "No no what is it!? Seriously is there something fundamentally ummarriable about me?!"
Chandler:"Uh uh uh."
Monica:"Well!"
Chandler:"Dear God! This parachute is a knapsack! "
        - The One With The Birth

Chandler: "Come on -- Ross? Remember back in college when he fell in love with Carol and he bought her that ridiculously expensive crystal duck?"
Rachel: "What did you just say?"
Chandler: "Crystal duck."
Rachel: "No... no... no... the, uh, the 'love' part?"
Chandler: "Fhhkk... flandin..."
Rachel: "Oh my God..."
Chandler: "No... no... no... no..."
        - The One Where Rachel Finds Out

Chandler: You've got to get back in the game here. The Rachel thing isn't working, your ex-wife is a lesbian... do we really need a third reason?

Joey: It's never gonna happen.
Ross: What?
Joey: You and Rachel.
Ross: Me and Rachel? Me and Rachel? ... why not?
Joey: Because, you waited too long to make your move, and now you're in the friend zone.
Ross: I am not in the zone.
Joey: Ross, you're mayor of the zone.

Rachel: These are great! How come I've never tasted these?

Chandler : If I'm gonna be an old, lonely man, I'm gonna need a thing, you know, a hook, like that guy on the subway who eats his own face. So I figure I'll be Crazy Man with a Snake, y'know. Crazy Snake Man. And I'll get more snakes, call them my babies, kids will walk past my place, they will run. "Run away from Crazy Snake Man," they'll shout.

Chandler : My god, that's a big head! It didn't look this big in the office. Maybe it's the lighting. My head must look like a golf ball at work. All right, don't get hung up on it, quick, quick, list five things you like about her: Nice smile, good dresser...Big head, big head, big head!

Phoebe : Look, I, y'know, I don't mind taking it slow, I like him a lot, y'know he's really interesting and he's really sweet and why won't he give it up?

Phoebe: No, whad'ya mean? He's not British.
Joey : Maybe he's gay.
        - The One Where Ross Finds Out

Chandler:"And you left the toilet seat up, you BASTARD! (throws yet another glass of water in Joey's face)"
        - The One After The Superbowl #1

Susie: Why do I want to put ice in my mouth and lick your body all over?
Chandler: Because I went to an all-boys high school and God is paying me back?

I don't need an actual man, just a couple of his best swimmers.
        - Monica, considering planned motherhood, "The One With The Jam"

Janice: I’m sorry I find it hard to believe that a group of people who spends as much time together as you guys do has never bumped uglies.
Joey: Well, there was that one time that Monica and Rachel got together.
Monica and Rachel: What?!!
Rachel: Excuse me, there was no time!
Joey: Okay, but let’s say there was. How might that go?
        - The One With The Flashback

Chandler : It's got to be Veronica, the girl in the red skirt. I definitely stuck my tongue down her throat.
Monica : That was me.
Chandler : Look, when I've been drinking, sometimes I tend to get overly friendly, and I'm sorry.

Ross: Hey Joey, are men ever nice to strange women for no reason?
Joey: No, only for sex.

Phoebe's boyfriend was coming out of his shorts....
Chandler : "What do we do, what do we do, what do we do??"
Ross : "Just don't look directly at it."
Chandler : "Like an eclipse." Joey : Oh mommie, oh daddie, I am a big old baddie! Oh mommie, oh daddie, I am a big old baddie!
Ross : I guess he musta gotten the part in that play.
Monica and Phoebe : Oh.
Chandler: Yeah, either that, or Gloria Estefan was right, eventually, the rhythm is going to get you. Joey: Man, I remember the first time I saw that girl Katherine, after we broke up. She was just walking with her friend Donna, just laughing and talking. God, it killed me.
Chandler: Yes, but you ended up having sex with both of them that afternoon.
Joey: Sorry, I just, any excuse to tell that story y'know....

Phoebe: For your information, this happens to be a pain like no man will ever experience.
Chandler: Yeah, well I don't think you can make that statement, unless you've been kicked in an area that God only meant to be treated nicely.

Joey: Well y'know, I've been walking the same way since high school. Y'know, y'know how some guys they walk into a room and everybody takes notice. I think I need a 'take notice' walk.
Chandler: Are you actually saying these words?

Rachel: How was your day?
Joey: I discovered I'm able to count all of my teeth using just my tongue.

Joey: If the Homo Sapiens were, in fact, _Homo_Sapiens... is that why they're extinct?

Chandler : Oh my God!! Phoebe: What?! I thought you were crazy about her!
Chandler: Yeah, I know, but all of those little annoying things she did before we fell in love? Like her voice, her laugh, her personality. Well, they’re all back! Y’know? And she’s picked up like nine new ones!

# CHANDLERISMS

OK. Hating this.

Too many jokes...must mock Joey!

Sometimes I wish I were a lesbian... Did I say that out loud?

Could she be anymore out of my league?

She makes the women I dream about, look like short, fat bald men.

I know sitting in front of this computer is killing my brains and my sperm, but I get to make free long distance calls, so what the hell.

No bunch of friends is that good looking or funny... *glance around*... okay, except for you guys!

Don't worry, Joey. I'm sure that when the right woman comes along, you'll be responsible enough to say, "Sorry, I'm married.'"

Joey: "I may only have a couple drinks in me, but I love you man!"
Chandler: "I'm still on my first. I just think you're nice."

Chandler to Joey: "You know that thing where we talk to each other about things? Let's not do that anymore."

Chandler : "Or, 'You're such a nice guy' means: 'I'm going to be dating leather wearing alcoholics, and complaining about them - to you .'"

Chandler to Ross about Rachel : "Could you want her more?"
Ross : "Who?"

Chandler : "Y'know I remember my father, all dressed up in a red suit, the big black boots and the patent leather belt, sneakin' around downstairs. He didn't want anybody to see him but he'd be drunk so he'd stumble, crash into something and wake everybody up."
Rachel : "Well, that doesn't sound like a very merry Christmas."
Chandler : "Who said anything about Christmas?"

*moves head left* Rock.
*right* Hard place.
*forward* Me.

# ROSSISMS

Every day is lesbian lover day!

Hey! I married a lesbian to make you look good!

I suppose we're looking for a more sophisticated answer than, 'To get you into bed?'

I think I speak for everyone when I say [slams door in Paulo's face]
