Quotes 

• Monica Geller : Hey, Joey! What would you do if you were omnipotent?

  Joey Tribbiani : Probably kill myself.

  Monica Geller : Excuse me?

  Joey Tribbiani : Hey, if Little Joey's dead, I got no reason to live.

  Dr. Ross Geller : Uhm, Joey... OMNI-potent.

  Joey Tribbiani : You are? I'm so sorry.

• Rachel : [talking about Ross]  Can't you just picture him in bed?

  Monica Geller : Really don't want to!

• [first lines] 

  Monica Geller : [playing game]  Phoebe?

  Phoebe : Okay, okay. If I was omnipotent for a day, I'd want, uh, world peace, no more hunger, good things for the rain forest. And bigger boobs!

  Ross : Oh. So you took mine! Chandler, how about you?

  Chandler : Uh, if I was omnipotent for a day, I'd make myself omnipotent forever.

  Rachel : [smirks]  See? There's always one guy. "If I had a wish, I'd wish for three more wishes."

• Monica Geller : [Phoebe's asleep, right there on the couch, in the middle of the day, between her friends]  How does she do that?

  Dr. Ross Geller : I *cannot* sleep in a public place.

  Monica Geller : Look at her, she's so... *peaceful.*

  Phoebe : [wakes up with a start]  Ugh!

  [they all jump] 

  Phoebe : What? What? What?

  Dr. Ross Geller : It's okay. You just nodded off again.

  Monica Geller : What's wrong with you?

  Phoebe : I got no sleep last night.

  Dr. Ross Geller : Why?

  Phoebe : My grandmother has this new boyfriend. And they're both very insecure in bed. So... And deaf! And they're constantly, like, having to reassure each other that they're having a good time. You have no idea how loud they are.

• Dr. Ross Geller : Oh, my God... oh... Is today the twentieth, October twentieth?

  Monica Geller : I was hoping you won't remember.

  Dr. Ross Geller : [sadly moaning:]  Ohh...

  Joey Tribbiani : What's wrong with the twentieth?

  Chandler : Eleven days before Halloween, all the good costumes are gone?

  Dr. Ross Geller : Today's the day Carol and I first consummated... our physical relationship...

  [looks over at puzzled Joey] 

  Dr. Ross Geller : Sex.

  [Joey nods] 

  Dr. Ross Geller : You know what? I think I'm just gonna pass on the game, go home, and think about my ex-wife and her lesbian lover.

  Joey Tribbiani : [rises]  To hell with hockey, let's all do that!

• Rachel : [joyously waving envelope about]  Look, look, look, look, my first paycheck! Look, there's a window, and there's my name! Hi, me!

  Phoebe : I remember the day that I got my first paycheck. There was a cave-in in one of the mines, and eight people were killed.

  Monica Geller : What? You worked in a mine?

  Phoebe : I worked in a Dairy Queen. Why?

  Rachel : [opening her envelope]  Now isn't this exciting? I *earned* this! I wiped tables for it, and it's totally...

  [sees the amount on the check] 

  Rachel : not worth it. What's FICA? Why are they getting all my money? Chandler, look at that!

  Chandler : Oh, this is not that bad.

  Joey Tribbiani : You're fine, yeah, for a first job...

  Dr. Ross Geller : You can totally, totally live on this.

  Phoebe : Oh, yeah. Yeah!

  Dr. Ross Geller : Hey, by the way, *great* service!

  [everybody agrees and chips in with a tip for their poor destitute friend] 

• Leslie : Rachel?

  Rachel : Oh, my God!

  [Rachel, Leslie, Kiki, and Joanne all scream and hug each other] 

  Monica Geller : [to Phoebe]  I swear I've seen birds do this on Wild Kingdom.

  Rachel : What are you guys doing here?

  Kiki : Well, we were in the city shopping, and your mom said you work here, and it's true!

  Joanne : Look at you in the apron. You look like you're in a play.

  Rachel : [to a pregnant Leslie]  Look at you, you are so big I can't believe it!

  Leslie : I know. I know! I'm a duplex.

• Monica Geller : Phoebe, do you have a plan?

  Phoebe : I don't even have a plot.
