Quotes

Chandler: Okay, well I’m gonna get Ross, get the cameras, and get them developed. (Joey laughs) 32 Joe. You’re 32! (edit)
Chandler: (To the front desk clerk) Hi! We’re checking out of the bridal suite.
Monica: (Depressed) That’s right. I’m no longer a bride. I’ll never be a bride again. Now, I’m just someone’s wife!
Chandler: And I’m the happiest guy in the world! (edit)
Ross: Hey, my sweater! I've been looking for this for like a month! (Ross leaves)
Monica and Phoebe: Oh, my God!
(Pause)
Joey: Oh, my God! (edit)
Ross: Hey, how you doing?
Tag: Good. Long time no see. Like your sweater.
Ross: Right back at you.
Tag: It's crazy about Rachel.
Ross: Well, she's one crazy lady.
Tag: So whose is it?
Ross: (Looking at his shirt)I don't know, some Italian guy. Come on, read your own label. See you later. (Turns to leave) He is so weird. (edit)
Phoebe: This guy doesn't have a clue. He's just walking down the street thinking, "I had sex with Rachel Greene. I rock!" Then, bam! He's the father, everything's different.
Rachel: It's only different if he wants it to be. I'm not gonna ask him for anything.
Phoebe: Okay, then he still has this huge decision to make. Now he's walking around thinking, "Do I want to be a dad?" Then, bam!
Monica: What was that "bam"?
Phoebe: I don't know. He's hit by a bus, or something. (edit)

Trivia

add »
Goof: Rachel's hair is over an inch longer in this episode than it was the morning of Monica and Chandler's wedding. This episode is supposed to take place the next day. (edit)
Continuity: Joey's age is not consistent. In "The One with the Birth" (1995) Joey says he is 25. "The One Where Joey Moves Out" (1996) Joey says he is 28. In "The One with the Red Sweater" (2001) Chandler says Joey is 32.
(edit)
Continuity: Last season in "The One with the Engagement Picture" Chandler isn't able to make a normal face if a camera is in front of him. But in this episode he has no problems standing in front of a camera. (edit)
Goof: When Rachel walks into Central Perk and finds Tag, she sets her purse down on the table. After the camera angle changes a few times, she sets her purse down again. (edit)
Goof: Chandler isn't wearing a wedding ring. (edit)

Allusions

Chandler: Who are you, Ansel Adams? Get outta here!

Ansel Adams was an American photographer, known for his black and white photos of the Yosemite Valley. (edit)

Ed McMahon, the presenter for the American Family Publishing Sweepstakes, is famous for knocking on people's doors and giving them a rather large surprise check. (edit)
Rachel: And we did not watch Dr. Do Me A Little!

The title of the porn film that Joey ordered was a parody of the movie Dr. Dolittle with Eddie Murphy. (edit)
