Quotes 

• Chandler : [Ross walks in with a really dark tan]  Hold on. There's something different about you.

  Ross : I went to that tanning place your wife suggested.

  Chandler : Was that place the sun?

  Ross : It gets worse.

  [holds up his top to reveal one half of his skin is still white] 

  Chandler : Oh my God! You can do a duet of 'Ebony & Ivory' all by yourself.

  Monica : How could you mess this up? It's so easy. You go in the booth, you count to five, and you turn around!

  Ross : How do you count to five?

  Monica : [counts quickly]  One, two, three...

  Ross : Dammit!

  [Goes to the door to leave. Rachel enters, sees him and starts laughing] 

  Ross : I know!

  Rachel : [after seeing Ross's tan]  What is up with Miss Hawaiian Tropic?

• Monica : We're not friends with Phoebe anymore.

  Chandler : If she asks, I protested a little, but okay.

• Rachel : He couldn't even undo my bra.

  Monica : Wow, really? One time he just looked at my bra and it popped open.

• [Phoebe & Monica are trying to avoid seeing their former neighbor Amanda, and Monica is on the phone with Amanda] 

  Monica : Hi Amanda. Uh, actually, now is not a good time.

  [Phoebe give Monica thumbs-up] 

  Monica : Dinner tomorrow night?

  [Phoebe gestures and mouths 'no'] 

  Monica : Okay, Phoebe and I will see you then.

  [Hangs up phone] 

  Phoebe : Why, why, why didn't you just say no?

  Monica : Well, I said no to her coming over now. I couldn't say no twice. I've got this uncontrollable need to please people.

  Phoebe : Fine, fine.

  [Walking into kitchen, visibly angry] 

  Phoebe : You would not hold up well under torture.

  Monica : Oh, and you would?

  Phoebe : [Quickly turns around]  I did.

  [Monica looks extremely surprised]
