Joey: I could use a challenge! It抯 getting pretty easy.

Rachel: Honey, it抯 so sweet that you want me to stay, but I-I can抰 do that to you. I mean it would disrupt your entire life.

Chandler: To see her pants?

Monica: They抮e my pants!

Chandler: Are you sure? Did you see the stain?

Monica: No! I was just getting into position and then everything went dark.

Chandler: God! She is not stealing from us! Okay, will you let this go?

Monica: Did you not hear where my head was? Come on! Come on we抮e a team! We抮e in this together!

Chandler: I fear a jury will see it the same way!

Monica: Do this for me! Come on, I catch you looking at woman抯 breasts all the time!

Chandler: You see that?

Monica: Do you see this? (Mimics him drooling over a woman抯 breasts.)

Chandler: All right. Yes. Okay. I get your point. But if it抯 not your bra will you just let the woman clean the apartment?!

Brenda: Okay. (Goes over and fluffs up the pillows on the couch.

Chandler: Brenda a bee!

Brenda: What?

Chandler: Yes! It抯 flown into your blouse and you抎 better undo 17 your buttons lest it sting you!

Rachel: You抮e so sweet. (Notices something in the crib.) Oh my God! And you gave the baby Hugsy! (A stuffed penguin 18 wearing a ski jacket, goggles 19, and hat.)

Joey: Ahhhhhhhhhhhh? That-that-that抯 really just to show where the baby would go. Y択now why don抰 I hold on to him so that there抯 no confusion? (Takes him back, sets him on the chair, and apologizes to him.)

Joey: Hello!

Rachel: What about all the women you want to bring home?

Joey: Look, if I抦 bringing home a woman who can抰 stand being around a baby, then maybe I don抰 want to be with that woman! Or maybe we抣l just do it in the bathroom of the club!
