Phoebe: (About the director) So, what did he say?
Joey: Well, he can be a little rough around the edges, so I'm gonna replace a word he used a lot, with the word "puppy." Okay, so he said: "If your puppy friend doesn't get her puppy act together, I'm gonna fire her mother-puppy ass." (edit) Monica: I actually know someone in advertising. I grew up with this guy who is a vice president at a big agency. Maybe I can get him to meet you? Give me the phone.
Chandler: "The phone. Bringing you closer to people... who have phones."
Monica: "Marriage. It's not for everybody." (edit) Ross: (To Emma) We'll have fun, won't we? Yes, we will, yes we will. (Gives her a kiss, and the pink bow tapes itself to his head)
Rachel: Ross?
Ross: Huh?
Rachel: You're pretty. (edit) Interviewer: So, do you have any other question about advertising?
Chandler: No, no. But let me show you what I can do. "Bagels and donuts. Round food for every mood."
Interviewer: Monica warned me you might do that. (edit) Joey: (About acting) Hey, you know what? Don't worry, Pheebs! It usually takes me three takes too! (The director gives him a look) Alright, eight. (edit)

Continuity: Rachel tells Gavin she has been working at Ralph Lauren for five years. But she got the job in "The One with Rachel's Inadvertent Kiss" which was near the end of season five, meaning she has worked there for almost four years. (edit) Continuity: In this episode Rachel says she was going back to work in two weeks, but in "The One with the Male Nanny" she said she was going back in four weeks and that was in November. This episode takes place in January, eight weeks later. (edit)

Phoebe: I learned never to borrow money from friends. No, that's why Richard Dreyfuss and I don't speak anymore.

Richard Dreyfuss is an Oscar-winning actor who has starred in such movies as Jaws, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and The Goodbye Girl. (edit) Rachel: Alright, alright. Calm down Norma Rae.

Norma Rae was a 1979 Academy Award winning movie which tells the story of a woman who becomes involved with the labor union activities at the local textile factory where she works. (edit)
