Quotes

[One of Ross's students wrote a flirtatious evaluation of his class]
Chandler: So, who is she?
Ross: I don't know. The evaluations were anonymous.
Joey: Well, do you still have their final exams?
Ross: Yeah.
Joey: Well, it's simple. You take the final exams and the evaluations, you see whose handwriting matches, and boom. You got your admirer.
Chandler: A hot chick is at stake and suddenly he's Rain Man.

The One Where Ross Dates a Student

This is the beginning of the great storyline where Ross dates his student Elizabeth. I found it pretty funny, how she evaluated him as the hottie of the paleontology department, how he pushes her into the wall when he sees other professors and also how they make out in his office when she is so turned on by the idea that their relationship is forbidden.

I also like the story of Phoebe and Rachel's apartment burning down. I just wonder why they would first want to live with Monica, they both did it before and should know what to expect.

Joey was a riot this episode. How he threw spaghetti on the floor and then ate them. And how he was showing Chandler that they should have pizza after the call. And of course "thursday the third day" part
