Chandler: I think she looks cute. [Rachel turns around and stares at him.] But I am wrong!
Rachel: Oh, my God, Oh, my God, here comes Ross. He's gonna flip out.
Amy: Why? Did something happen to his falafel cart?
Rachel: Oh. [takes the hat and covers Emma's head and half her face with it]

letting you babysit ever again!
Amy: Hey, you know what? This kid needs me, okay? She needs to have a cool, fun aunt!
Monica: I'm a cool, fun aunt!
Amy: [sarcastically] Okay!
Chandler: Hey! Monica can be cool and fun at organized indoor projects!
Rachel: I cannot believe this. All I wanted to do was help you try to figure out what to do with your life
and this is how you repay me?
Amy: Well, I don't need you to help me, because I already know what I'm going to do with my life.

a napkin.]
Phoebe: What's the matter with me? Why do I keep ruining this? I'm sorry, I'm sorry!
Mike: No! It's my fault. I keep trying to propose in these stupid ways and all I wanna do is tell you that
I love you and I wanna spend the rest of my life with you and…I'm gonna do this now.
Phoebe: Oh, my God!
[Mike starts to kneel in front of Phoebe.]
Mike: Phoebe, I…
Phoebe: Wait! Oh, wait! Oh, no!
Mike: Ready?
Phoebe: Uh-huh!

marry me?
Phoebe: Yes!
Mike: I love you!
Phoebe: I love you more!
Mike: Not possible! She's gonna be Mrs. No Balls.
Closing Credits
[Scene: The Street in Front of Central Perk. Rachel and Amy are walking on the sidewalk.]

Rachel: That's shocking!
