- Rachel: Hey, do you guys know what you're doing for New Year's?
- [They all hit her with pillows]
- Rachel: Gee, what? What is wrong with New Year's?
- Chandler: Nothing for you, you have Paolo. You don't have to face the horrible pressures of this holiday: desperate scramble to find anything with lips just so you can have someone to kiss when the ball drops! Man, I'm talking loud!
- Rachel: Well, for your information, Paolo is gonna be in Rome this New Year, so I'll be just as pathetic as the rest of you
- Phoebe: Yeah, you wish!
- [first lines]
- Dr. Ross Geller: [at the door] Guys... there's a *somebody* I'd like you to meet.
- [enters - there's a monkey perched on his shoulder]
- Monica Geller: [amidst positive exclaiming] Wait. Wait. What is that?
- Dr. Ross Geller: *That* would be Marcel. Wanna say hi?
- Monica Geller: No. No, I don't!
- Rachel: Oh, he is precious! Where did you get him?
- Dr. Ross Geller: My friend Bethal rescued him from some lab.
- Phoebe: That is so cruel. Why, *why* would a parent name their child Bethal?
- Chandler: Hey, that monkey's got a Ross on his ass!
- Monica Geller: Ross, is - is he gonna live with you, like, in your apartment?
- Dr. Ross Geller: Yeah, I mean, it's kinda quiet since Carol left, so...
- Monica Geller: Why don't you just get a roommate?
- Dr. Ross Geller: Well, no, I think you reach a certain age when a roommate is just kinda pathetic...
- [realizes whom he's talking to]
- Dr. Ross Geller: Uh, sorry, that's "pathic", which is Sanscrit for "a really cool way to live."
