• Rachel: (To Phoebe about Monica and Chandler) You know what? I don't want to be with them either. But it's Thanksgiving and we should not want to be together together. [edit]
• Chandler: I don't have tools.
  Monica: I lent mine to Rachel.
  Rachel: I lent them to Ross.
  Ross: I gave them to Joey.
  Joey: I left them at the park. [edit]
• Ross: (Reading Monica's note) We know you're out there.
  Joey: Who do you think it's from? [edit]
• Phoebe: (About Monica and Chandler's apartment) It's locked!
  Ross: Oh sure. Now they lock it. But when they're having sex on the couch, it's like, "Come in, my butt is surprisingly hairy!" [edit]
• Monica: Now when I get back, I want you and your friends to be gone. Thanksgiving is over. The Vein has spoken! [edit]
• Rachel: Oh my God! It's Brussels sprouts!
  Ross: That's worse than no food! [edit]
• Rachel: Oh, I just remembered. We do have something to eat. Monica put something in our oven this morning.
  Phoebe: Oh yeah!
  Monica: Hey, you touch that and you will be sorry.
  Chandler: Guys, I'd listen to her. The vein is bigger than I've ever seen it! [edit]
• Joey: We don't need your stupid dinner!
  Chandler: That would be a lot more convincing if you weren't drooling! [edit]
• Monica: Chandler, where are your tools?
  Chandler: I left them on my bulldozer. [edit]
• Rachel: Happy Thanksgiving!
  Phoebe: Oh yeah! Happy needless-turkey-murder day. [edit]
• Rachel: I can't believe this. This is Emma's first Thanksgiving.
  Monica: No, it's not.
  Rachel: It's not?! (To Ross) When was she born? [edit]
• Joey: Don't you put words in people's mouths. You put turkey in people's mouths. [edit]
• Phoebe: Hey Rach, what's Emma doing today?
  Rachel: Well let's see... I know that she has a meeting with her lawyer, and then she has to make a very big poop. [edit]
• Rachel: No Phoebe, I am not letting you put makeup on my baby!
  Phoebe: Why not!
  Rachel: Because I already did! [edit]

• Joey: Three tickets to today's Rangers game!
  
  The New York Rangers are a professional hockey team. Playing their home games at Madison Square Garden, the Rangers are one of the oldest teams in the NHL, and have won the Stanley Cup four times. [edit]
• Ross: When I was here for Holidays on Ice, I was so far away Michelle Kwan couldn't read my banner.
  
  This is alluding to the famous Olympic Figure Skater Michelle Kwan who has won Nationals every year since 1998 and has won the worlds in 1998, 2000, and 2001. [edit]
• Phoebe: We're just... we're trying to figure out an excuse. Hey! Ooh! How about this: We can say that Monica told us 5 o'clock, not 4 o'clock. That way we're right on time! Or... or, we can plant PCP in the apartment and call the cops on her.
  
  She is alluding to the illicit street drug called phencyclidine (abbreviated as PCP), also known as "Angel Dust." [edit]
• Phoebe: Now, the way I see it, our real competition now is Cameron. Oh my God, they just took her sweater off. Look at those arms! Hello Michelin Man.
  
  The Michelin Man is a TV mascot for Michelin tires with a body made up of tires. Phoebe made this allusion from the chubbiness of the baby's arms. [edit]
• Chandler: You, me, and little Hemingway Bing. What? He's my favorite author.
  Monica: Name one of his books.
  Chandler: The Firm?
  
  The Firm is a John Grisham novel about a lawyer who accepts a job with a firm that, unbeknownst to him, is run by the Mafia. This book is one of many bestsellers written by Grisham. It has also been made into a movie starring Tom Cruise.
  Hemingway refers to Ernest Hemingway, a famous American novelist, who wrote The Old Man and the Sea, The Sun Also Rises, and A Farewell to Arms. [edit]
