Monica: Let's get some coffee.
Chandler: Oh, ok, 'cause we never do that.

Chandler: 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. No. I just meant hypothetically.
Monica: Ok, hypothetically, why won't I be married when I'm 40?

Chandler: Rachel, what is the deal with you and doctors, anyway? Is, like, your father a doctor?
Rachel: Yeah, why?
Chandler: No reason…

Ross: Look, Carol never threw me out of a room before you came along.
