Ronni: Now, y see, most people, when their pets pass on, they want em sorta laid out like they re sleeping. But occasionally you get your person who wants them in a pose. Like, chasing their tail, or, uh, jumping to catch a frisbee1.
Chandler: Joey, if I go first, I wanna be looking for my keys.
Ronni: That s a good one!

Mr. Tribbiani: You re gonna keep an eye on us?
Joey: That s right, mister, and I don t care how old you are, as long as you re under my roof you re gonna live by my rules. And that means no sleeping with your girlfriend.
Ronni: Wow. He s strict.

Joey: Okay. Now this is just for tonight. Starting tomorrow, you gotta make a change. Six years is long enough.
Mr. Tribbiani: What kinda change?

Chandler: Hey, Kicky. What re you doing?
Joey: Just trying to get comfortable. I can t sleep in my underwear.
Chandler: Well, you re gonna.
Joey: I ve been thinking. Y know, about how I m always seeing girls on top of girls...
Chandler: Are they end to end, or tall like pancakes?
Joey: Y know what I mean, about how I m always going out with all these women. And I always figured, when the right one comes along, I d be able to be a stand-up guy and go the distance, y know? Now I m looking at my dad, thinking...
Chandler: Hey, you re not him. You re you. When they were all over you to go into your father s pipe-fitting business, did you cave?
Joey: No.
Chandler: No. You decided3 to go into the out-of-work actor business. Now that wasn t easy, but you did it! And I d like to believe that when the right woman comes along, you will have the courage and the guts4 to say "No thanks, I m married."
Joey: You really think so?
Chandler: Yeah. I really do.
Joey: Thanks, Chandler.
Chandler: Get off!
