(we like holidays and dressing up.)
In a tribute to my friend Kate joining our blogging world, and in an effort to get her to stay, I have decided to make today official Friends Day, in honor of her blog great name, My Moo Points.
So - here are my top 5 favorite episodes of our beloved show (in no particular order):
1. The One With The Embryos (The girls lose their apartment by losing to a game of trivia to the boys)
Favorite Line:
Ross: According to Chandler, what phenomenon scares the bejeezus out of him?
Monica: Michael Flatley, Lord of the Dance
Ross: That is correct.
Joey: The Irish jig guy?
Chandler: His legs flale about as if independent from his body!
Chandler: His legs flale about as if independent from his body!
2. The One Where Ross Got High ( Monica and Chandler invite Monica's parents over for Thanksgiving, but Monica has not told her parents they are dating)
Favorite Line:
Rachel: First, there's a layer of lady fingers, then a layer of jam. Then custard, which I made from scratch. Then beef, sauteed with peas and onions, another layer of jam, then some whipped cream on top!
(Later after trying it...)
Ross: It tastes like feet!
Joey: I like it.
Ross: You like it?
Joey: What's not to like? Custard, good. Jam, good. Beef, goood.
3. The One Where Everybody Finds Out (Where everyone finds out about Monica and Chandler - sidenote, I remember rolling on the ground at my parents the first time this came on when Phoebe danced. Classic.)
Favorite Line:
Phoebe: Ah! Ah ah!! Chandler and Monica! Chandler and Monica!!
Rachel: Oh my God...
Phoebe: They're doing it!
Rachel: Oh..
Phoebe: My eyes! My eyes!!!
4. The One With The Humor ( with Brad Pitt)
Favorite Line:
Will (Brad Pitt): My two biggest enemies. Rachel Green and complex carbohydrates.
5. The One Hundreth (where Phoebe gives birth)
Favorite Line:
Phoebe: Ross, maybe I should have specified that I'd be needing a grown up doctor.
Dr: I get that all the time, I am fully qualified to...
Phoebe: Shh, Doogie, Shh. Doesn't anyone know that I am going to be giving birth soon? Go! Go, little boy, go!
I love Friends. You've always been there for me.

1. The One With The Embryos
Favorite line:
Ross: Every week the TV Guide comes to Chandler and Joey's apartment. What name appears on the address label?
Rachel: Oh! Chandler gets it. It's Chandler Bing.
Monica: No.
Ross: I'm afraid the TV Guide comes to "Chanandler Bong".
Monica: I knew that. Rachel, use your head.
Chandler: Actually, it's Miss Chanandler Bong.
Phoebe: Well, yeah. Ya know, we were best friends, ever since we were little, our Moms worked on the barge together.
Monica: Oh, you two must have been so cute running around on a barge.
Phoebe: You never run on a barge!
Joey: Ross was getting the Cup Card, the D-Cup, the Sitting-Down Bonus! Meanwhile, I didn't even get half a cup! Nothin'!
Chandler: Oh man!
Joey: And he never played before either! Y'know what I think? I think: Beginner's luck--very important in Cups!
Rachel: (About her first paycheck) I earned this. I wiped tables for it, I steamed milk for it, and it was totally... (Looks closely at the check) not worth it! Who is FICA and why is he getting all my money
Ross: Can we please focus here, a naked man’s life hangs in the balance!
Phoebe: I’m telling you he’s dead. What we are about to have here is a dead fat guy on a stick.
Joey: All right, ladies and gentlemen, let’s poke. (they start to advance the giant poking device) Steady. Steady. Okay, a little higher. Careful of the angle. Okay, okay, we’re approaching the window (as he says this the camera cuts to their view of Ugly Naked Guy, so that we actually see him!) Thread the needle. Thread the needle.
(They thread the needle and start poking him, he then stirs.)
Phoebe: He’s alive! He’s a-live!!!
Monica: And yet, we’re still poking him.
Joey: Okay, retract the device, retract the device.
Ross: He does not look happy.
Rachel: Hey-hey, now he’s showing us his poking device.
Joey: Hey, that’s never gonna make it all the way over here, buddy!
