Quotes

Ross: (About his thing) The worst thing is he said, he said, without being able to identify it, he was reluctant to remove it.
Chandler: Ya know what? You should go to my guy, because when I went in there with my third nipple. He just lopped it right off. (edit)
Vince: (About being a firefighter) 98 hot saves, highest in the force.
Chandler: Well, ya know, if Joey and I played with matches we could get you up to an even hundred. (edit)
Ross: Listen, I need a favor. Um, I was in the shower, and as I was cleansing myself, I, ah, I, well I felt something.
Chandler: Was it like a sneeze only better? (edit)
Chandler: (To Monica) This is Pete we're talking about, he's not like other people. On your first date, he took you to Rome! For most guys, that's like a second or third date kind of thing. (edit)
Phoebe: (In Pete's apartment) That is the nicest kitchen!
Monica: Yeah, I know.
Phoebe: No, but it's the nicest kitchen. The refrigerator told me to have a great day. (edit)

Crazy underwear, creeping up my butt.
Crazy underwear, always in a rut.
Crazy underwear.... (edit)
Goof: When Ross goes to see Guru Saj, he has his 'thing' removed. However, it is obvious that Guru is not anywhere near the thing, because you can see that Ross' shirt is still tucked into his pants, and the Guru just rubs his hands along the shirt. (edit)
Trivia: The poster of the human body seen on the wall in Guru Saj's exam room is also seen in Phoebe's massage room in "The One with Frank Jr.". (edit)
Goof: When Pete and Monica are in the restaurant, Monica's shoulder wrap keeps shifting up and down her back from shot to shot. (edit)
