"Pants and a sweater....why mom? Who am I gonna meet in a blackout? Power company guys? Eligible looters? Could we talk about this later? Okay."-Monica

Ross: So, um....where did Paolo come from?
Rachel: Oh, Italy, I think.
Ross: No, I mean tonight, in the building. Suddenly. Into our lives.

Monica: Okay, I'll go. Okay....senior year of college...on a pool table.
Everyone: Whoa!
Ross: That's my sister.
Joey: Okay, 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: Pheebs, what about you?
Phoebe: Oh...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 mechanical Dutch children. Then they fixed the ride and we were asked never to return to the Magic Kingdom
Phoebe: Oh! Rachel?
Rachel: Oh come on, I already went.
Monica: You did not go!
Everyone: Come on!
Rachel: Oh, alright. The weirdest place would have to be...oh, the foot of the bed.
Ross: Step back!
Joey: We have a winner!

Joey: It's never gonna happen.
Ross: What?
Joey: You and Rachel.
Ross: Wha...whatta...what? Why not?
Joey: Because you waited too long to make your move, and now you're in the friend zone.
Ross: No, no, no. I'm not in the zone.
Joey: Ross, you're the mayor of the zone!

Rachel: I just never had a relationship with that kind of passion, you know, where you have to have somebody right there, in the middle of a theme park.
Ross: Well, it was the only thing to do there that didn't have a line.
Rachel: There, well, see? Barry wouldb't even kiss me on the miniature golf course.
Ross: Come on.
Rachel: No, he said we were holding up the people behind us.
Ross: [sarcastically] And you didn't marry him because....?
Rachel: I mean, do you think there are people who go through life never having that kind of...
Ross: Probably. But you know, I'll tell you something. Passion is way overrated.
Rachel: Yeah right.
Ross: It is. Eventually, it kind of....burns out. But hopefully, what you're left with is trust, and security, and....well, in the case of my ex-wife, lesbianism. So, you know, for all of those people who miss out on that passion....thing, there's all that other good stuff.
Rachel: [sighs] OK
Ross: But, um...I don't think that's going to be you.
Rachel: You don't.
Ross: Uh-uh. See, I see...big passion in your future.
Rachel: Really?
Ross: Mmmm.
Rachel: You do?
Ross: I do.
Rachel: Oh Ross, you're so great
