The One Where Monica Gets A New Roommate [1.01] edit
- [First lines of the series]
- Monica: There's nothing to tell. He's just some guy I work with.
- Joey: C'mon, you're going out with the guy. There's gotta be something wrong with him.
- Chandler: So does he have a hump? A hump and a hairpiece?
- Phoebe: Wait, does he eat chalk? [The others stare, bemused] It's just that I don't want her to go through what I went through with Carl - ohh!
- Monica: Okay, everybody relax. 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.
- [Rachel is supposed to be cutting up her credit card]
- Ross: Cut, cut, cut...
- Everybody: Cut, cut, cut, cut!
- Rachel: [cuts a card] You know what? I think we can leave it at that. It was kind of a symbolic gesture...
- Monica: Rachel, that was a library card.
- [Everybody cheers her on, and she reluctantly cuts up her credit card]
- Chandler: You know, if you listen closely, you can hear a thousand retailers scream.
- Monica: [to Rachel] Welcome to the real world. It sucks. You're gonna love it.
The One with the Sonogram at the End [1.02] edit
- Monica: What you guys don't understand is, for us, kissing is as important as any part of it.
- Joey: Yeah, right! [the girls just look at him] Serious?
- Phoebe: Oh, yeah.
- Rachel: Everything you need to know is in that first kiss.
- Monica: Absolutely.
- Chandler: I think, for us, kissing is pretty much like an opening act, y'know? I mean, it's like the stand-up comedian you have to sit through before Pink Floyd comes out.
- Ross: Yeah, and it's not that we don't like the comedian, it's just that that's... that's not why we bought the ticket.
- Chandler: You see, the problem is, though, after the concert's over, no matter how great the show was, you girls are always looking for the comedian again. Y'know? I mean, we're in the car, we're fighting traffic... basically, just trying to stay awake.
- Rachel: Yeah, well, word of advice: bring back the comedian. Otherwise next time you're gonna find yourself sitting at home, listening to that album alone.
- Joey: Are we still talking about sex?
- Chandler: [watching TV] I think this is the episode of Three's Company where there's some kind of misunderstanding.
The One with the Thumb [1.03] edit
- Phoebe: There's five hundred extra dollars in my account.
- Chandler: Oh! Satan's minions at work again.
- Phoebe: Yes, 'cause I have to go down there and deal with them.
- Joey: What are you talking about? Keep it!
- Phoebe: It's not mine! I didn't earn it. If I kept it, it would be like stealing!
- Rachel: Yeah, but if you spent it, it would be like shopping!
- [Phoebe finds something in her can of soda.]
- Ross: A thumb?!
- Joey: Ewwww!
- Phoebe: I know, I know. I opened it up, and there it was, just floating in there, like this tiny little hitch-hiker.
- Chandler: Maybe it's a contest, you know, like, "collect all five."
The One with George Stephanopoulos [1.04] edit
- Monica: Hey Joey, what would you do if you were omnipotent?
- Joey: Probably kill myself.
- Monica: Excuse me?
- Joey: Hey, if little Joey's dead, then I've got no reason to live.
- Ross: Joey, omnipotent.
- Joey: You are? I'm so sorry.
The One with the East German Laundry Detergent [1.05] edit
- Ross: It's amazing, okay? You just reach in there, there's just one little maneuver, and bam, a bra right out the sleeve. All right? As far as I'm concerned, there is nothing a guy can do that even comes close. Am I right?
- Rachel: Come on! You guys can pee standing up.
- Chandler: We can? All right, I'm trying that.
- Joey: You know what blows my mind? Women can see breasts anytime they want, you just look down and there they are! How you get any work done is beyond me.
- Phoebe: You know what I don't get? The way guys can do so many mean things and, like, not even care.
- [Long pause]
- Ross: ... Multiple orgasms!
- [Ross takes out his new laundry detergent]
- Rachel: What is that?
- Ross: Überweiss! It's new, it's German, it's extra tough.
The One with the Butt [1.06] edit
- [The gang watches Joey's performance in Freud!, a local musical.]
- Joey: [in a German accent] Well, Eva, we've done some excellent work here, and I would have to say, your problem is quite clear. [singing] All you want is a dinkle,
What you envy's a schwang,
A thing through which you can tinkle,
Or play with, or simply let hang!
- Monica: What? So you guys don't mind going out with someone else who's going out with someone else?
- Joey: I couldn't do it.
- Monica: Good for you, Joey.
- Joey: When I'm with a woman, I need to know that I'm going out with more people than she is.
The One with the Blackout [1.07] edit
- [All sitting around coffee table talking about their "weirdest place"]
- Rachel: Come on, someone go.
- Monica: OK, I'll go, Senior year of college on a pool table.
- Ross: That's my sister.
- Joey: OK, my weirdest place would have to be... the women's room on the second floor of the New York City Public Library.
- Monica: Oh my God. What were YOU doing in a library?
- Ross: Phoebs, what about you?
- Phoebe: Oh um... Milwaukee.
- Rachel: Um... Ross?
- Ross: Disneyland, 1989, 'It's a Small World After All'. The ride broke down. So, Carol and I went behind a couple of those mechanical Dutch children... then they fixed the ride and we were asked never to return to the Magic Kingdom.
- Phoebe: Ooh, Rachel.
- Rachel: Oh come on, I already went.
- Monica: You did not go.
- Rachel: All right... the weirdest place, would have to be... oh... the foot of the bed.
- Ross: Step back...
- Joey: We have a winner!
- Chandler: You know, on second thought, gum would be perfection.
- [ Jill Goodacre gives him a strange look and a stick of gum]
- Chandler: [thinking] Gum would be perfection. Gum would be perfection. I 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.
The One Where Nana Dies Twice [1.08] edit
- Aunt Lillian: What's going on?
- Jack Geller: She may have died.
- Aunt Lillian: She may have died?
- Jack Geller: We're looking into it.
The One Where Underdog Gets Away [1.09] edit
- Ross: Wow, you guys sure have a lot of books about being a lesbian.
- Susan: Yeah, you know, you have to take a course, otherwise they don't let you do it.
The One with the Monkey [1.10] edit
- Rachel: Hey, do you guys know what you're doing for New Year's?
- [They all hit her with pillows]
- Rachel: Gee, what? What is wrong with New Year's?
- Chandler: Nothing for you, you have Paolo. You don't have to face the horrible pressures of this holiday: desperate scramble to find anything with lips just so you can have someone to kiss when the ball drops! Man, I'm talking loud!
- Rachel: Well, for your information, Paolo is gonna be in Rome this New Year, so I'll be just as pathetic as the rest of you.
- Phoebe: Yeah, you wish!
- Chandler: Hey, that monkey's got a Ross on his ass!
The One with Mrs. Bing [1.11] edit
- Rachel: [handing out copies of her steamy romance book] Okay... now this is just the first chapter... and I want your absolute honest opinion, okay? Oh! ...and on page two, he's not reaching for her "heaving beasts".
- Phoebe: What? She could have "heaving beasts".
- Rachel: Right, right... but in this case, she doesn't.
- Monica: What's a niffle?
- Joey: You can usually find them on the heaving beasts.
- Rachel: All right, all right, all right. So I'm not a great typist…
- Ross: Wait... Did you get to the part about his "huge, throbbing pens"? I'll tell ya... you don't wanna be around when he starts writing with those!
- Rachel: Alright, that's it... Give 'em back!
- Phoebe: Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, no! I just got to the part about her "public hair."
- Chandler: What are you guys doing out here?
- Ross: Uh... uh... Well, Joey and I had discussed getting in an early morning racquetball game. But, um, apparently, somebody overslept.
- Joey: Yeah, well, you don't have your racket.
- Ross: No, no I don't, because it's being restrung. Somebody was supposed to bring me one.
- Joey: Yeah, well you didn't call and leave your grip size.
- Chandler: You guys spend way too much time together.
The One with the Dozen Lasagnas [1.12] edit
- Joey: Ross, did you really read all these baby books?
- Ross: Yup! You could plunk me down in the middle of any woman's uterus, no compass, and I can find my way out of there like [snaps fingers] that.
- [Chandler and Joey are shopping for a new table]
- Joey: Will you pick one? Just pick one. Here! How about that one?
- Chandler: That's patio furniture.
- Joey: So what? Like people are gonna come in and think "Uh-oh, I'm outside again!"
The One with the Boobies [1.13] edit
- Roger: Maybe you wanted your marriage with Carol to fail.
- Ross: No! Why would I... why? No. Why?
- Roger: Siblings. You fail at something so your sibling will look better in the eyes of your parents.
- Ross: I don't think that Monica's failures...
- Monica: Oh, so I'm a failure now, is that it? I'm a bigger failure than you, is that right?
- Ross: Hey, I married a lesbian to make you look good.
- Rachel: Why can't parents just stay parents? You know? Why do they have to become people?
The One with the Candy Hearts [1.14] edit
- Janice: I brought you something.
- Chandler: Is it loaded?
- Chandler: [Preparing to break up with Janice for the third time] There's no easy way to say this. At least, there's no new way for me to say this.
The One with the Stoned Guy [1.15] edit
- Chandler: Can you see my nipples through this shirt?
- Rachel: No. But don't worry, I'm sure they're still there.
The One with Two Parts edit
Part 1 [1.16] edit
- Phoebe: [about why she and her twin sister Ursula don't get along] It’s mostly just dumb sister stuff, you know. I mean, like, everyone always thought of her as the pretty one, you know... Oh, oh, she was the first one to start walking. Even though I did it, later that same day. But to my parents, by then it was like, "Yeah, right, so what else is new?"
- [At the Lamaze class, mother-to-be Carol panics after seeing a videotaped birth.]
- Ross: Everything's going to be all right.
- Carol: What do you know?! No one's going up to you and saying, "Hi! Is that your nostril? Mind if we push this POT ROAST THROUGH IT?"
Part 2 [1.17] edit
- Ross: I had a dream last night where I was playing football with my kid.
- Chandler and Joey: That's nice.
- Ross: No, no. With him. I'm on this field, and they... they hike me the baby. And I know I've gotta do something 'cause the Tampa Bay defense is coming right at me.
- Joey: Tampa Bay's got a terrible team.
- Ross: Right, but it is just me and the baby, so I'm thinkin' they can take us.
- Chandler: Okay, worst case scenario. Say you never feel like a father.
- Ross: Uh-huh.
- Chandler: Say your son never feels connected to you, as one. Say all of his relationships are affected by this.
- Ross: Do you have a point?
- Chandler: You know, you'd think I would.
The One with All the Poker [1.18] edit
- [The gang is playing poker.]
- Rachel: I will see you... and I'll raise you. What do you say... want to waste another buck?
- Ross: No, not this time. [he folds] So what'd you have?
- Rachel: I'm not telling.
- Ross: Come on, show them to me. [He reaches for her cards. Rachel covers them up]
- Rachel: No!
- Ross: Show them to me!
- Rachel: Get your hands out of there! No!
- Ross: Let me see! Show them!
- Chandler: You know, I've had dates like this.
- Ross: Your money is mine, Green.
- Rachel: Your fly is open, Geller!
The One Where the Monkey Gets Away [1.19] edit
- Samantha: Do you know anything about fixing radiators?
- Joey: Um, sure! Did you, uh, did you try turning the knob back the other way?
- Samantha: Of course.
- Joey: Oh. Then no.
- [Rachel's ex-fiance Barry just came rushing into Monica's apartment and Ross was preparing to ask her out]
- Barry Farber: Rachel, I can't marry Mindy anymore. I'm still in love with you.
- Ross: We really need to start locking that door!
The One with the Evil Orthodontist [1.20] edit
- Chandler: I got her machine.
- Joey: Her answering machine?
- Chandler: No. Interestingly enough, her leaf-blower picked up.
The One with the Fake Monica [1.21] edit
- Rachel: Monica, would you calm down? The credit card people said that you only have to pay for the stuff that you bought.
- Monica Geller: Still... it's just such reckless spending.
- Ross: I think when someone steals your credit card, they've kind of already thrown caution to the wind.
- Chandler: Wow, what a geek. They spent $69.95 on a Wonder Mop.
- Monica: That was me.
- Joey: My agent thinks I should have a name that's more neutral.
- Chandler: Joey... Switzerland?
The One with the Ick Factor [1.22] edit
- Ross: I can't believe you two had sex in her dream.
- Chandler: I'm sorry, it was a one-time-thing. I was very drunk and it was someone else's subconscious.
- Chandler: Oh, come on. You told me about the last dream.
- Rachel: No, forget it.
- Chandler: Oh, why not. Was I doing anything particularly... saucy?
- Rachel: All right, fine. Um, you were not the only one there... Joey was there, too.
- Joey: All right!
- Ross: Was there... uh, huh, huh, huh... anybody, anybody else there?
- Rachel: No.
- Ross: You're sure? Nobody uh, handed out, uh, mints or anything?
- Rachel: No, it was just the three of us.
- Ross: Huh!
- Joey: So, tell me. Was it, like, you and Chandler, and then you and me, or you and me and Chandler?
- Rachel [laughing]: You know what?
- Joey [laughing]: What?
- Rachel [laughing]: There were times when it wasn't even me.
- [Chandler and Joey laugh until they look at each other, stopping suddenly]
- Phoebe: That is so sweet, you guys. [hugs them]
The One with the Birth [1.23] edit
- Monica Geller: I want a baby!
- Chandler: You'll get one.
- Monica: Oh really, when?
- Chandler: All right. I'll tell you what. When we're 40, if neither one 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. I just meant hypothetically.
- Monica: Okay, hypothetically, why won't I be married when I'm 40?
- Chandler: Uh... Uh....
- Monica: What is it, is there something fundamentally un-marry-able about me? Well?
- Chandler: This parachute is a knapsack!
- Ross: Dammit! This is all your fault! This was supposed to be like the greatest day of my life, you know. My son is being born and... I should be in there, you know. Instead I'm stuck in a closet with you.
- Susan: The woman I love is having a baby today, I've been waiting for this just as much as you have.
- Ross: No, believe me, no one has been waiting for this just as much as I have. Okay, and you know what the funny thing is? When this thing is over, you get to go home with the baby, okay? Where does that leave me?
- Susan: You get to be the baby's father. Everyone knows who you are. And who am I? There's Fathers Day, there's Mothers Day, there's no Lesbian Lover Day.
- Ross: Every day is Lesbian Lover Day.
The One Where Rachel Finds Out [1.24] edit
- Chandler: Men are here.
- Joey: We make fire. Cook meat.
- Chandler: Then put out fire by peeing. No get invited back.
- Phoebe: [regarding Ross' birthday gift to Rachel] I can't believe he got you that! It must've cost him a fortune!
- Chandler: Oh, come on. Ross? Remember back in college when he fell in love with Carol and got her that ridiculously expensive crystal duck?
- Rachel: [stunned] What did you just say?
- Chandler: [mortified pause] Crystal duck.
- Rachel: No, no, the love part.
- Chandler: [Hyperventilating] Flennen!
- Rachel: Oh, my God!
- Chandler: [rubbing his temples] Oh, no, no, no!
- Joey: That's good, just keep rubbing your head. That'll turn back time.
