Ross: I hope Ben has a little sister.
Monica: Yeah. I hope she can kick his ass. (edit) Ross: Oh, man. Oh, remember when I stuck that broom in your bike spokes, and you flipped over and hit your head on the curb?
Monica: No. But I remember people telling me about it. (edit) Rachel: Well, people missed you in there. And in fact, there was actually a request for "Smelly Cat."
Phoebe: Really? From who?
Rachel: Well, from me. And I know it's not your big money song, but it's my favorite. (edit) Joey: Oh, oh wait. That one's definitely Ben. Remember, he had that cute little mole by his mouth.
Chandler: Yeah?
Joey: Yeah.
Chandler: Hey, Ben, remember us? Okay, the mole came off.
Joey: Ah! (edit) Rachel: Terry is a jerk, okay? That's why we're always saying "Terry's a jerk!" That's where that came from. (edit)

Phoebe's Songs: "Shower Song"
I'm in the shower and I'm writing a song
Stop me if you've heard it.
My skin is soapy, and my hair is wet,
and Tegrin spelled backward is Nirget.
Lather, rinse, repeat
and lather, rinse, repeat
and lather, rinse, repeat
as needed.

"I Play For Me"
When I play, I play for me
I don't need your charity
La lalala lalalalalalala
lalala lalala lalalalalalala....

"Double-Jointed Boy"
...was the double, double, double-jointed boy.

"Stephanie"
Stephanie knows all the chords.

"Terry"
Terry's a jerk!
And he won't let me work!
And I hate Central Perk!
You're all invited to bite me!

"Smelly Cat"
Smelly Cat, Smelly Cat,
What are they feeding you?
Smelly Cat, Smelly Cat,
It's not your fault.

Ross: Hey, how 'bout the time I cut the legs off your Malibu Ken?
