Ross: Monica? You're Mom.

Chandler:（想象）有人把一个杯子留在了咖啡桌上，底下没放杯垫。那是一杯冷饮，而外面天气很热。杯子上凝结的水珠正在一寸一寸地逼近木质的桌面…

Chandler: Where's Joey? His mom's on the phone.

Monica: He's in the bathroom. I don't think you wanna go in there!

Chandler: C'mon, we're roommates! (He goes into the bathroom, screams, and runs backout.) My eyes!! My eyes!!

Monica: I warned you...

Rachel: Who is being loud?

Chandler:Oh, that would be Monica.

Chandler: Joey在哪？她老娘来电话了。

Monica: 他在浴室呢。我觉得你还是别进去找他了。<听人劝吃饱饭>

Chandler: 没事，我们可以室友，<我啥没看过？>（进到浴室，尖叫着跑了出来）我的眼睛！我的眼睛！！
