---Great Line:
(Explaining why the father of her child is in prison…)
Erica: “No, he killed his father with a shovel…”
(Chandler and Monica are shocked, and Chandler gasps…)
Erica: “…but other than that, he’s a great guy.”
Chandler: “I’ll bet his dad doesn’t think so.”

Great Lines:

(paraphrasing)Ross: I've not had sex lots of times before but this is definately the worst ever.

I was rinsing my mouth with salt water while my Dad was wathcing this. I usually don't watch Friends anymore, but I admit, this one was funny.

Great Moment:

Chandler: That thing we hardly ever do, or that thing we never do?
Monica: That thing we never do.
Chandler: Shoveling Joe.

Yeah, this one was pretty good for a 10th season episode. The weakest story was Joey's.

I personally liked: "I haven't had sex in four months! I should get a medal for that!" ~ Ross, referring to his rejection of Rachel's advances.

:)


By Brian Webber on Saturday, February 21, 2004 - 12:56 pm:

Pfft! I haven't had sex in 8 years, you don't see me asking for any medals.


By Dan Gunther on Saturday, February 21, 2004 - 1:17 pm:

Dang dude, you should. :P Just kidding, man! :)


By Dan Gunther on Saturday, February 21, 2004 - 11:54 pm:

Besides, (and this is just an aside) Ross didn't want a medal for not having sex, he wanted it for refusing sex with Rachel even though she was quite insistent. Given their history and the obvious attraction between the two of them, were I in Ross' place, I would be hard pressed to refuse. Then again, I am a 21 year old male. And it has been awhile. :) lol

Great Line

Monica:How do we know it's him? It could be the Quarterback.
Chandler:This is us! Of course it's the ax-murderer!

HI,

this question may sound a little stupid, but I'd really like to know what Monica means with "the thing we hardly ever do". "The thing we never do" in my opinion is quite obvious.
As I'm not from an english-speaking country I don't know all the expressions and meaybe for you the meaning ist quite clear.
It's also because Chandler & Monica always say that together they have the most amazing sex both of them have ever experienced. That's what makes it even more difficult for me to think of something they might hardly ever do ...


By LUIGI NOVI on Sunday, June 05, 2005 - 9:08 am:

It might be something that Monica does not feel comfortable with. Just because there are some things you would rather not do does not mean that you can't have "amazing" sex.


By Andre Reichenbacher (Amr) on Saturday, December 29, 2012 - 3:43 pm:

"The Thing We Hardly Ever Do" - Oral.

"The Thing We NEVER Do"- Anal.

Someone had to spell it out, and I figured that someone should be me. Your welcome!

(And I dont ever have sex either, both by choice and because it's forced upon me, but that's neither here nor there. I get what Ross was saying, though!)

It's a wonder Joey could function at all.
