* Throughout "The One With the Birth," Ross and Susan are arguing more than ever and over the soon-to-be-born baby. They continue even when locked in a janitor's closet. Phoebe happens to be in tow and makes an observation.
-->'''Phoebe:''' This is so great.\\
'''Ross:''' You wanna explain that?\\
'''Phoebe:''' I mean, well, cause when I was growing up, you know my dad left and my mother died and my stepfather went to jail, so I barely had enough pieces of parents to make one whole one. And here's this little baby who has like three whole parents who care about it so much that they're fighting over who gets to love it the most. And it's not even born yet. It's just, it's just the luckiest baby in the whole world. ''(beat)'' I'm sorry, you were fighting.

* Many fans were [[{{Understatement}} not a fan]] of the [[StrangledByTheRedString Joey/Rachel pairing]], but it was still pretty sweet when he realized he was falling for her: she cuddles on his lap as they watch ''{{Cujo}}'' and asks "Aren't you scared?!"

* The end of the season 10 Thanksgiving episode. Monica and Chandler don't want to host Thanksgiving because of all the stress they were under while waiting to see if someone would pick them to adopt. They host it anyway, and work hard to make it even better than last year - and everyone else shows up late. Monica won't let them in, Joey gets his head caught in the door, and he crashes into the table and ruins all the food when they manage to pull the chain out. Monica comes back from answering a phone call, sees the mess, and says "I don't care."
-->'''Chandler:''' What's going on?
-->'''Monica:''' That was the adoption agency.
-->'''Chandler:''' And?
-->'''Monica:''' ''We're getting a baby!''

* I can't believe this one isn't on the list yet; it should have been at the top somewhere.In "TOW all the Poker" '''Ross lets Rachel win''' because her twooly wuvs her. Aww nothing beats that! It's all the more meaningful in this episode, which pitted the three girls against the three guys. Especially this last game, in which everyone held stakes. They'd spent the whole episode snarking, and trading barbs (well the girls anyway, since they kept losing. In all fairness, they'd just started learning the game.) But, in the end, when it's just Ross Vs Rachel, and Rachel's all upset because she didn't get a job she wanted, Ross throws his hand. And the look on his face, as he watches the girls celebrating... awwww.
-->'''Joey''': [to Ross]: Ahhh, that's alright. Y'know, that's a tough hand to beat.

-->'''Chandler''': [to Ross]: I thought we had them!
