** Chandler accidentally walked in on Rachel before, and got together with and banged Monica later, which means he got to see the breasts of ''all three of the girls'' over time! Lucky ol' Chandy.

'''Ross:''' Uh... oh, they don't like it when [[YouMakeMeSic you correct their grammar.]]\\

[[AC:820: TOW The Baby Shower]]

--->'''Phoebe:''' Is your boyfriend the boss of you?
--->'''Rachel:''' No...
--->'''Phoebe:''' Who ''is'' the boss of you?
--->'''Rachel:''' ...You?
--->'''Phoebe:''' No! ''You'' are the boss of you!

* This episode sees the debut of Chandler and Joey's leather recliners, which they refuse to leave for most of the rest of the episode. Phoebe tries to get them to quit watching the TV for the first time in hours, only to flip out and join them when they turn on ''Film/{{Xanadu}}'' of all things.

'''Monica:''' Pheebs, don't you think he's a little ''young'' to get married?\\

--->''Phoebe:''' Who ''is'' the boss of you?
--->''Rachel:''' ...You?
--->''Phoebe:''' No! ''You'' are the boss of you!

'''Rachel:''' No...
'''Phoebe:''' Who ''is'' the boss of you?
'''Rachel:''' ...You?
'''Phoebe:''' No! ''You'' are the boss of you!

* Rachel and Joey's subplot sees them swapping their copies of ''Literature/LittleWomen'' and ''Literature/TheShining'' (they've read their own books dozens of times but have never read each other's). When they check in to see how the other is doing, Joey accidentally spoils the ending of ''The Shining'' for her. After some duelling spoilers Rachel decides to bring out the big guns.

* In one of the B plots, Monica is watering her boyfriend Pete's plants while he is in Atlanta on business (he says they need to talk when she returns; Chandler suggests that if he's breaking up with her, he and Joey can "water" Pete's plants instead) and invites the other five to explore his luxury apartment. Then Pete calls on his video phone, and the others try - and fail - to hide:
-->'''Pete:''' Hey Monica, how's it going?\\

* In another B plot, Phoebe is dating two men at once: Vince, a fireman whom she likes for his physique, and Jason, a kindergarten teacher whom she likes for his sensitivity. However, she finds it too difficult to keep them from finding out about each other, and things get even more difficult when she discovers Vince is as sensitive as Jason while Jason has a physique to rival Vince's. Eventually, while she is performing a set at Central Perk for an audience including Vince and Jason walks in as well, we hear her internal monologue as she panics, but resolves to keep playing as if nothing's wrong... only for the lyrics to immediately devolve into complete gibberish.

'''Jack Geller''': I know what you're thinking, Judy. The resemblance is uncanny.

* The A plot involves Ross discovering a strange growth on the small of his back. Having Rachel walk in on him when he is showing it to Chandler and Joey is embarrassing enough for him, but then he seeks medical advice, and the doctor who examines him has never seen anything like his growth, and ends up calling in a crowd of at least fifteen fellow doctors to look at it.
-->'''Ross:''' ''[lying face down on the examining table with a cloth over his backside as the huge crowd of doctors gathers round him]'' You know, I have dinner plans!

-->'''Monica:''' ''[answering the door]'' Dr. Green! Oh my God, it's Rachel's dad. What are you doing here?\\

'''Monica:''' ''[thinking fast]'' No, no, the father can, but, um, since I am the roommate, I can tell you that she's not here and I'll pass along the message, okay? So, bye-bye!\\
'''Dr. Green:''' ''[smiling, seeing through the ruse]'' Ohhh, you're having a ''party''...\\
'''Monica:''' No no, not a party, just a surprise gathering of some people Rachel knows. ''[gestures to the others]'' Um, this is Phoebe, and Chandler, and Joey.\\
'''Dr. Green:''' ... I'll never remember all of that. So, uh, what's the deal? Rachel comes home, people pop out and yell stuff, is that it?\\
'''Chandler:''' This isn't your first surprise party, is it, sir?\\

'''Monica:''' ''[slams the door shut and turns to the others]'' Chinese menu guy. Forgot the menus.\\
'''Chandler:''' So, basically, just a Chinese guy.\\

'''Dr. Green:''' ''[deadpan]'' All right, that sounds like a two-person job. ''[follows Joey into Rachel's bedroom; Monica waits until they leave and opens the door to Mrs. Green]''\\
'''Mrs. Green:''' Well, my goodness, what was that?\\
'''Monica:''' Sandra, I am so sorry, I thought you were Rachel and we just weren't ready for you yet.\\

'''Chandler:''' Yes, because, uh, you both look so young!\\
'''Phoebe:''' And because you're both, y'know, white women.\\

'''Mrs. Green:''' ''[doffs her coat]'' Oh, well, thank you! Such a gentleman. ''[handing the coat to Chandler]'' Thank you. ''[Chandler looks at the (hot pink) coat and grimaces, while Mrs. Green takes in the decorations]'' Ah, it all looks so nice, so festive, all the balloons... ''[Chandler remembers that Dr. Green is in Rachel's bedroom, so he stuffs the coat in a cupboard]'' The funniest thing happened to me on my way here. I was-\\
'''Phoebe:''' ''[sees Joey peeking out of Rachel's bedroom to check if the coast is clear]'' Ha ha, that's great, ha ha, I can't wait to hear the rest of it, y'know, but, I really have to go to the bathroom, so... hey, come with me! ''[Mrs. Green looks puzzled]'' Yeah, yeah, it'll be like we're gal pals, y'know, like at a restaurant. Oh, it'll be fun, c'mon! ''[she heads into the bathroom with Mrs. Green]''\\

'''Chandler:''' Okay, think, what would [[Series/ThreesCompany Jack and Chrissy]] do?\\
'''Joey:''' ''[peeks out of the bedroom again]'' Okay, now that your coat is safely in the bedr- ''[sees Mrs. Green is gone]'' oh, okay, we can come back out into the living room. ''[exits the bedroom with Dr. Green]''\\

'''Chandler:''' Uh, yes, absolutely, um... why, again?\\

'''Joey:''' That is clearly in the wrong apartment.

'''Chandler:''' Well, we could count again.

'''Joey:''' Quick volleyball question.\\

-->'''Mrs. Green:''' ''[as Ross fetches the glass of scotch]'' Oh, hello, Ross, where have you been?\\
'''Ross:''' Hi. Uh... I have been in the bathroom. Stay clear of the salmon mousse.\\
'''Mrs. Green:''' ''[noticing the glass in Ross' hand]'' Oh, scotch neat. You know, that's Rachel's father's drink.\\
'''Ross:''' Oh, mine too! Isn't that neat, scotch neat! Would you excuse me? ''[exits to the corridor to see Dr. Green heading across to Monica and Rachel's apartment]'' Hey, hey, where you, uh, sneaking off to, mister?\\
'''Dr. Green:''' I'm getting my cigarettes out of my jacket.\\

'''Ross:''' No, um, see, 'cause that, that is, that is the staging area. If you go in there, it'll ruin the whole illusion of the party. Yeah, I think you take your scotch back in there, and I will get your cigarettes for you, sir.\\
'''Dr. Green:''' Get my glasses too.\\
'''Ross:''' All righty roo. ''[Dr. Green heads back into Chandler and Joey's; Ross closes the door after him and pauses]'' What a great moment to say ''that'' for the first time.\\

'''Ross:''' Mm-hmm. ''[puts the glasses on]'' I have a condition, apparently, that I require two sets of focals.\\
'''Mrs. Green:''' Did you know my husband has glasses just like that?\\
'''Rachel:''' Well, they're a very popular frame.\\

'''Rachel:''' Yeah, like a chimney!\\
'''Ross:''' Ohh, big smoker! ''[taps the pack of cigarettes, flinging one at Mrs. Green; he finally pulls one out and puts it in his mouth, looking utterly ridiculous]'' Big, big smoker. In fact, I'm gonna go out in the hallway and fire up this bad boy! ''[exits and almost walks into Dr. Green]''\\
'''Dr. Green:''' Are you wearing my glasses?\\

'''Dr. Green:''' Thank you. ''[notices the cigarette in Ross' mouth]'' Is that one of my cigarettes?\\
'''Ross:''' ''[removes it and hands it over]'' Yeah, yes it is, I was just... moistening the tip.\\

-->'''Chandler:''' Hey, how you holdin' up there, tiger? ''[Rachel gives him a look]'' Oh, sorry, when my parents were getting divorced, I got a lot of "tiger"s. Got a lot of "champ"s, "chief"s, "sport"s, I even got a "governor"!\\
'''Rachel:''' ''[deflated]'' This is it, isn't it? I mean, this is what my life is gonna be like. ''[gestures]'' My mom there, my dad there. Thanksgiving, Christmas. She gets the house, he's in some condo my sister's gonna decorate with wicker. Oh, Chandler, how did you get through this?\\

-->'''Phoebe:''' Well, I guess we're gonna be '''going out into the hallway now...'''\\
'''Joey:''' Thanks for coming, Mrs. Green! ''[[KissOfDistraction [smooch]]] [Mrs. Green goes limp in Joey's arms as Dr. Green leaves, not noticing his soon-to-be ex-wife]'' Well, okay, you take care!\\

* Rachel tries to set herself and Monica up with two male nurses at the hospital at which Phoebe is having the triplets. Chandler's jealous reaction comes perilously close to sinking his relationship with Monica, but he finally talks his way back into her good graces, and she goes to cancel her date with the nurse. Chandler breaks into a happy dance...

** Highlights include Rachel attempting to phone the front desk for "more alcohol and more beers", Ross falling over when trying to sit down and immediately asking a perplexed ''Joey'' if he's okay, and Rachel responding to Joey's "How YOU doin'?" with a flirtatious "I'm doin' good baby, how 'bout you?" Joey laughs, [[OCCIsSeriousBusiness shortly before telling Ross to not let her drink any more]].

Joey laughs, shortly before telling Ross to not let her drink any more.

* In TheTeaser, the gang are planning a surprise birthday party for Rachel, and Monica, true to form, has more formal and upmarket ideas for what the party should involve than the others. Joey, however, is too distracted by the fake breasts on her work uniform to care about party details:
-->'''Monica:''' ''[noticing Joey staring]'' Joey, they're not real. I start miles below the surface of these things, okay, they're fake. See? ''[squeezes one of the fake breasts and makes a honking sound]''\\
'''Chandler:''' Wow, it's like porno for clowns.

** But the guests at Monica's party make no secret of their boredom. When she asks them to write down their most embarrassing memories on slips of paper (with strict instructions to replace the caps on the felt-tip pens so they don't dry out), one of them writes, "Monica, your party sucks." It gets so bad that Phoebe pretends to see water rings left by glasses without coasters as a distraction to smuggle guests across to Chandler and Joey's party.

'''Mrs Green:''' Oh, you kids! ''[stroking Joey's face and chest]'' Well, this is the ''best'' party I've ever been to in years...\\
'''Monica:''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Thank you!]]
* In TheTag, we get the payoff of the flan instead of a cake and the volleyball game in Chandler's room. Rachel makes a birthday wish, blows out the candles, and a volleyball lands right in the middle of the flan.
