Don't have any off the top of my head, but let's start this thread.
Chandler gets the best lines.
"You're supposed to stop the Q-Tip when theirs resistance!"
Resistance is futile!
Yeah, if I were one of the characters, I'd wanna be Chandler. He's so me. His sarcastic lines are the best, and Brian, you just picked one of my all time faves.
Hannah, if you want ideas for the best lines, peruse the episode guides at www.friends-tv.org Each episode's page lists a lot of them.
Another great Chandler line, after Rachel tells him to get out of the hand-cuffs himself;
"Oh, I'm sorry you must have me confused with The Amazing Chandler!"
That one still cracks me up! Also, when he told Joey in one ep;
"Why don't you fall down more?"
Could these quotes BE any MORE Chandler?
Geez, Brian, you just picked TWO of my favorite Chandler lines in a row! (Hey, great minds think alike!)
That quote is from The One With Barry & Mindy's Wedding(2.24), and that is one of the first 29 eps I posted on when I set up the boards, and that is the quote I cited as a great line!
My Friends quote I use when conversation has died-
"So...the ebola virus...that's gotta ..."
will probably update ;)
One of my favourite lines is when Rachel's boss is handcuffed to her chair in her slip and explains:
"I've had an office mishap."
One that should appeal to us here:
Chandler on the phone to a computer helpline, hearing a noise in the background.
"Are you watching Star Trek?!?"
Everyone's favorite line...
"Oh... my... God!"
Of course, said by Janice.
"We always know what you're talking about, Joey!" - Monica
...after Joey says something sexually suggestive (for the Nth time) and finishes with "...you know what I'm talking about?"
I believe the addendum he added after the metaphor was "...if you know what I mean," and Monica said, "Joey, we always know what you mean."
And yeah, that's one of my favorite lines too.
Ok, you got me, Luigi. How's about a board for "Paraphrases" then?
"Could you BE any more arrogant?"
Me, thinking at customers.
Paraphrases are fine by me. Feel free to post them.
How 'bout my little comment?
Am I right, or am I right?
Given some of the behavior I have to put up with when recruiting for a screening, Hannah, arrogant would be the operative word. (As would rude, obnoxious, etc.)
OK- here's one that I always think of when I step into the shower, though I'm not sure exactly how it goes.
Joey somehow mentions that you should rinse the soap off before using it, to which Chandler responds (in a very Chandler way) that it's SOAP- "why would you have to clean SOAP?"...
Joey: "Well, the next time you take a shower you just think about the first thing you wash and the last thing I washed"
yeah...I'd rinse the soap...
Miko...
bwa-hahahahahaha!!!!!
Joey: It's a moo point.
Rachel: A moo point?
Joey: It's like a cow's opinion. It doesn't matter. It's moo. *makes hand gesture*
Joey: (enters apartment, wearing every article of clothing he owns) Hi! I'm Chandler! Could I be wearing any more clothes?
Rachel: Guess what, guess what?
Chandler: The fifth dentist finally caved and now they ALL reccomend Trident?
The best quotes are by Ross. Why does no one like him? Unagi...Sandwich...Cat!
No way. Chandler gets the best quips, IMHO.
The funniest Chandler line is right after the episode at the Beach House where Ross fell asleep reading Rachel's letter. They fight in Monica and Rachel's apartment, Ross storms out, and Rachel says something to the effect of "It doesn't happen to every guy, and it is a big deal!" She slams the door, and Chandler yells out "I KNEW IT!"
That line cracks me up every time. Perfect Chandler!
They other best line is the episode when both Ross and Rachel were ar Carol's palce and talking to Ben. Ben says to Rachel that she and Ross were on a break. My wife and I were eating dinner at the time, and I shot milk out of my nose when Ben said that it was so funny.
Luigi, what were the titles of these episodes?
The two episodes in question are The One With the Jellyfish(4.1) and The One With The Truth About London(7.16).

Rachel: We are so over!
Ross (makes noises like he's pretending to be sad)FINE BY ME!
Joey: You can't go Commando in another man's fatigues!
Monica: In one month I'll be Mrs. Chandler Bing.
Woman: Did you just say you're marrying Chandler Bing?
Monica: That's Right.
Woman: Good Luck!
Phoebe: Good luck to you too! She's such a nice woman.
Ross: If Mommy can have a Wife Daddy can have a Bra!
Monica: I just had sex with someone who wasn't alive during the Bicentennial!
Ethan: I just had sex!
Monica: My lie didn't make one of us a felon in 49 states!
Ross: And this has nothing to do with the fact that he needs a note to get out of Gym?
Rachel: Someone thinks an awful lot of himself.
Judy: This is worse than when he married a Lesbian.
Joey: Ya know if the Homo sapiens really were Homo sapiens maybe that's why they're extinct.
Ross: Joey Homo sapiens are People!
Joey: I know you don't have to get all sensitive.
Hannah F.:
Joey: It's a moo point.
Rachel: A moo point?
Joey: It's like a cow's opinion. It doesn't matter. It's moo. *makes hand gesture*
Dan Gunther: Another favorite is what Rachel says afterwards:
"Was it just me, or did that kind of make sense?"
Dan, didn't she preface the remark with something to the effect of "Maybe I've just been living with him too long..."?
Okay, Dan, here it is (good thing Thande just posted on that ep's board, prompting me to go to the site for reference material, and spot it):
Joey: "All right, Rach. The big question is, "does he like you?" All right? Because if he doesn't like you, this is all a moo point."
Rachel: "Huh. A moo point?"
Joey: "Yeah, it's like a cow's opinion. It just doesn't matter. It's moo."
Rachel: "Have I been living with him for too long, or did that all just make sense?"
Yeah, I thought there was something else in there... that's what I get for going from memory rather than consulting the dvds!
For future reference, Dan, use the website linked to on the main page.
Charlton Heston: Put on some pants so I can kick your butt.
Oh, this one is fun. Ross's hair is better than she implies, though.
[after Monica gets a disastrous haircut]
Ross: How's Monica?
Phoebe: She's calmed down a bit. I put a clip on one side, which seems to have stopped the curling.
Ross: How's the hair?
Phoebe: I'm not gonna lie to you Ross. It doesn't look good.
Joey: Can we see her?
Phoebe: No, your hair looks too good. I think it would only upset her.
Rachel: Oh.
Phoebe: Ross, you can go on in.
~~~~~
Hehehehe....
Ross: After you told me that she was passed out in our room, I went in there to make sure she was alright. She was lying on my bed, all buried in people's coats. Well, I went to kiss her on the forhead but it was so dark I accidentally got her lips. I started to pull away but then I felt her kissing me back. It was only for a second but it was amazing. And now I found out that you kissed her first!
Chandler: Wait, what bed did you say she was on?
Ross: Mine.
Chandler: I'm pretty sure I put her on my bed.
Ross: No, she was defintely on my bed.
Chandler: Why would I kiss a girl and then put her on your bed?
Ross: Well then who was on my bed?
Monica: Oh! Oh! Oh!
Ross: No! No! No!
Monica: Yes!
Ross: You were under the pile of coats?
Monica: I was the pile of coats.
Ross: Oh my god!
Monica: You were my midnight mystery kisser?
Ross: You were my first kiss with Rachel?
Monica: You were my first kiss ever?
Chandler: What did I marry into?
~~~~~~
[Julia and Ross are picking a cat, Ross is preoccupied with the Julia vs. Rachel choice]
Julie: Ok Ross, look I'm gonna narrow it down to this one over here... and this one with the stripes... You pick...
Ross: Woah, woah... I... I have to pick?
Julie: Yeah sure which ever one you want
Ross: [Looks back and forth between the cats and scratches his head] Well, I don't know, you know it's not that easy to choose... both cats are-are beautiful... and... funny... I'm sure I'd be happier with either cat...
Julie: Well do you wanna take both?
Ross: Both? Both?... I can't have TWO cats!... Joey's the kind of guy that can have two cats...
~~~~~~~
I LOVE this one. Could it BE any more right?
[Everyone's gathered at Central Perk]
Monica: What you guys don't understand is, for us, kissing is as important as any part of it.
Joey: Yeah, right!... Y'serious?
Phoebe: Oh, yeah!
Rachel: Everything you need to know is in that first kiss.
Monica: Absolutely.
Chandler: Yeah, I think for us, kissing is pretty much like an opening act, y'know? I mean it's like the stand-up comedian you have to sit through before Pink Floyd comes out.
Ross: Yeah, and-and it's not that we don't like the comedian, it's that-that... that's not why we bought the ticket.
Chandler: The problem is, though, after the concert's over, no matter how great the show was, you girls are always looking for the comedian again, y'know? I mean, we're in the car, we're fighting traffic... basically just trying to stay awake.
Rachel: Yeah, well, word of advice: Bring back the comedian. Otherwise next time you're gonna find yourself sitting at home, listening to that album alone.
Joey: [pause] ... Are we still talking about sex?
~~~~~~~~
[Monica is buying and selling stocks]
Monica: My motto is get out before they go down.
Joey: That is *so* not my motto.
~~~~~~~
[Ross is upset about Carol and the divorce]
Joey: Ok Ross, you're gettin a divorce... you're angry, you're hurtin... can I tell you what the answer is?... STRIP JOINTS! Come on! You're single! Have some hormones!
Ross: But I don't want to be single... I just want to be married again
[Rachel walks in wearing wedding dress]
Chandler: And I just want a million dollars!
~~~~~~~~
["If you had to give up sex or food, which would you pick?"]
Monica: Sex!
Chandler: Seriously. Answer faster.
Monica: I'm sorry, sweetie. When she said "sex" I wasn't thinking of sex with you.
Chandler: It's like a big hug.
Phoebe: Ross, how about you? Sex or food?
Ross: Sex!
Phoebe: What about sex or dinosaurs?
Ross: My God, it's like Sophie's Choice.
Phoebe: Joey, if you had to give up sex or food, which would you pick?
Joey: I don't know, it's too hard.
Rachel: Come on, you have to answer.
Joey: Okay... sex. No, food. No, uh... I want both! I want girls on bread!
~~~~~~~
[Ross is wearing a white suit]
Monica: I like it even better on you than on Colonel Sanders.
Ross: Look, I just came here to tell you guys something.
Rachel: Oh. Was it how you invented the cotton gin?

OK, more later, don't wanna kill the poor thing.

"A PLAGUE upon BOTH your houses!"
What a dick! And he dumped Kate to boot!
