The Best Lines
Chandler: Ms. Tedlock... you're looking lovely today. May I say that is a very flattering sleeve length on you.

Ross (watching log throwing on TV): You watch something like this and you realize... why evolution is just a theory.

Chandler: I don't have a dream!
Ross: Ah, the lesser known I don't have a dream speech.

Monica (enters the apartment): Ahh, I love my life, I love my life!
Phoebe (lights up): Ooh! Brian's Song!

Phoebe: Ooh! I know what you could make! I know! Oh, you should make that thing, you know, with the stuff. You know that, that THING, with the, the stuff! Okay, I don't know...

Ross: Hey, does anyone know a good date place in the city?
Joey: Uhh... how 'bout Tony's? If you can finish a 32 oz. steak, it's free!
Ross: Mmkay... (clears his throat) Hey, does anyone know a good place if you're not dating a puma?

Monica: You see... Wendy's more of a... professional waitress.
Rachel: Oh, I see, yes, and I've sort of been maintaining by amateur status so I can waitress in the Olympics!
Chandler: You know... I don't mean to brag, but I waited tables at Innsbruck in '76. Took home a bronze.

Celia: Say something... hotttt.
Ross (hesitates for a while): Ummmm... vulva.

Monica: 12 dollars an hour!

The Verdict
Quite a humorous episode, with Jon Lovitz in an absolutely gut-busting role as the stoned massage client of Phoebe turned enemy of Monica and Phoebe. Great lines throughout this episode, there wasn't too much of a sense of emotion, but there was some. Once again, many memorable moments from this episode. Love Chandler's committment issues, they show up in his work as well as in his personal life. He was excellent and great in this episode, as was everyone except really Joey, who just didn't do too much. Another in a long string of good episodes.
